From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Core tower.

On the south side of the main gate.

Six "giants" or "trolls" with a height of nearly ten meters, half mechanical and half biological, are on guard here, and their right arms have been modified into large-caliber biological energy cannons.

Even the corruption and depravity have failed to stop UAC's weapons research.

The core tower in the early morning should have seemed very deserted, but the screams of those who were beaten and abused were extremely clear, and this is the main tone of Minova.

The greatest pleasure of the fallen is to inflict extreme violence on their former peers to satisfy their desires that can never be satisfied.

This is why they want to "keep" humans in captivity to prevent humans from really becoming extinct, because if that really happens, then the fallen will lose the "fun" forever.

Suddenly;

Boom-! Boom-!

Explosions sounded one after another in the city.

? !

The six trolls guarding the main gate were alert and raised their hand cannons, but due to the surrounding buildings blocking them, they could not clearly observe what was happening.

Swish-swish-swish!

? ?

The trolls looked up again and found that many missiles were dragging white tail flames and rushing into the night sky shrouded in blood-red haze at a very fast speed.

However, the number of missiles launched into the air was obviously not in line with expectations.

Based on the previous series of explosions, the trolls instantly realized that the defense facilities deployed in the city had been targeted and destroyed, and Minerva was facing an unprecedented air strike!

Then, the explosions of successful interception flashed in the hazy night sky, and several of the "fireballs" were particularly dazzling, just like the sun.

Boom-boom--! ! !

When the trolls heard the explosions from the sky, they saw that several missiles successfully broke through the interception network and headed straight for the center of Minerva.

"Roar!!" The six trolls no longer stayed outside and turned and ran into the core tower.

Swish~————!! !

Then, the core area of ​​Minerva was suddenly illuminated by several "suns".

Boom---——!! !

Then, deafening explosions and shock waves began to sweep everything, and the earth was shaking violently.

In the dim hall of the core tower;

"."

The six trolls' twisted faces could not show complex expressions, and their eyes were covered by armor, but it was not difficult to guess that they were full of confusion at the moment.

They were elite mercenaries of UAC when they were humans. After being assimilated, they helped the company solve many threats and made outstanding military achievements, so they were able to accept a higher "evolution" and became the "trolls" who are now dedicated to protecting the top management.

Logically, since the company led them to become the true overlord of the earth in 2047, the nuclear weapons of the old era should all belong to the company.

Even if there were human resistance forces in the towns or in the wild in the old era, humans without nuclear weapons were just a minor problem.

Moreover, the company's top management still deliberately retained the resistance forces. As long as the hope of "we will eventually win" still exists, humans will fight for it regardless of anything, like moths to a flame.

The humans imprisoned and kept in captivity by them firmly believed that the resistance would soon break through Minova and regain their freedom, so they retained a strong desire to survive and avoided the mass death of "livestock" caused by the single-minded desire to die.

But the nuclear explosion just staged showed that humans once again had the ability to strike nuclear weapons and even had the ability to transport them across continents, which

was simply impossible.

After the noise outside subsided a little, the six trolls left the hall and returned to the front yard of the main gate.

Even without visual sharing, they also noticed that except for the core tower behind them, the area where the UAC high-level officials lived was razed to the ground.

But...

Why leave the core tower alone?

Could it be that the human forces that destroyed a large number of defense facilities in advance have already infiltrated many branches near the tower?

Or, can humans make such a big noise so that their troops can successfully infiltrate the tower? !

"Roar! There are intruders!"

After realizing this possibility, the largest troll roared to the sky, raised his hand, and immediately pressed the special throat microphone intercom to report to the remaining UAC senior executives.

Swish!

Boom!

However, the sound of the instantaneous firing of the individual rocket launcher and the explosion caused by the rocket that hit its chest directly interrupted the troll's reporting action.

Ta-ta-ta!

Then, it was a concentrated salvo of suppressors and subsonic bullets.

It turned out that the "troop branch" suspected by the troll, namely H7 and H8, had successfully sneaked to the side of the main gate.

The two team leaders also realized that the troll's roar and the hand-raising action were for reporting.

Without time to think about it, they no longer considered maintaining the hidden state as the primary consideration, but decided to attract the other party's attention at all costs and consequences, creating an opportunity for the investigators and elite team members to break into the core tower.

At this moment, Leon half-crouched beside a flower bed without any green plants, using the lock of the helmet screen and the assistance of the mechanical skeleton, cooperating with the corporal beside him, and continuously shooting at the neck of a troll with his rifle.

"Hudson! Hicks!" The corporal ordered loudly: "You two teams and Kennedy and Wang, continue to perform the mission!"

"Yes!" The six hunters responded first and quickly went around to the far right side of the front yard of the main gate.

Ada Wang and Leon followed closely behind, taking advantage of the chaos at the beginning of the battle to successfully rush into the hall of the core tower.

On the other hand, the troll, who was hit by a rocket, violently dispersed the smoke generated by the explosion, then raised his right arm and fired an energy cannon diagonally forward that emitted a dazzling green light.

boom! !

This shot directly melted the flower bed.

Hey! !

The high-temperature bioplasma splashed around and penetrated the Corporal's right shoulder, right leg and many other parts while he was being transferred, causing the optical camouflage of the combat uniform to begin to malfunction irregularly, sometimes good and bad, and the Corporal himself was lying on the ground. There was no movement.

Not only the largest troll, but the other five could not clearly see the specific positions of the hunters, but they were able to work together to form more powerful firepower. Coupled with their own thick armor, they quickly reversed the situation of being suppressed previously. situation.

However, this was exactly the purpose of the hunters. At the expense of themselves, they succeeded in attracting all the attention in a short period of time.

——

…

Core tower.

In an elevator large enough to accommodate four trolls at the same time;

"UAC really fucking built a humanoid tank, which looks more powerful than the Tyrant!"

"Fuck...the corporal's vital signs are gone."

"Rehot's too!"

The voices of several hunters were sad and angry.

And Leon watched through the screen the life status of the H7-H8 team members, gradually turning from green to red, until it was dim, and he was also inevitably sad in his heart.

But he didn't know whether to be grateful or not. It was the legacy of human behavior that made UAC install a tower navigation map in the lobby, with the words "104th Floor/Urban Management Center/Master Control Room" clearly marked on it. .

This also eliminates the need for them to search carefully on each floor. They only need to take the elevator and rush to the destination of this operation.

"Ding——The 104th floor is here, please be careful where you step."

Following the reminder from the female sound effect, Leon and the others quickly left the elevator, spread their distance, and half-crouched in the dark corridor to remain vigilant.

No enemies have been seen yet.

"Newcomer." However, Ada, who remained silent throughout the whole process, said to him in a deep voice through a separate communication: "As the director of operations of the Investigation Department, I order you. If there are still defense forces, you just run to the main control room. Be sure to Send the blueprint to the forward base."

"This...yes, I understand." Leon nodded in agreement.

Ada naturally knew that Leon had doubts, but as a person with higher authority, she had carefully reviewed Leon's files.

Coupled with the Flower of God incident in Lodja Town and their ability to arrive here smoothly, Ada believed that Leon was more lucky than other investigators.

If there was an emergency, she would have to place her hope on a "gamble".

Perhaps due to good luck or UAC's negligence, they did not expect that humans could sneak into their core tower, allowing the group to reach their destination quite smoothly.

boom!

The sound of directional blasting echoed in the main control room.

Immediately afterwards, the eight people who still kept the optical camouflage turned on quickly rushed into the main control room with at least a hundred screens and carefully inspected every corner.

After confirming that there was no threat, a hunter loudly said: "I'll leave the matter of obtaining the blueprint to you two. The rest of you follow me and guard the passage outside!"

"Huha!"

Come and go.

At this time, only Leon and Ada were left who came to the main console to investigate.

Ada, who had received rigorous training since childhood, found the interface in no time. She took out the miniature mobile terminal of Universe 03 specially manufactured by the Scientific Research Department and inserted it into the interface.

"Warning, it has been detected that the system has been invaded by a virus. Please go to the main control room immediately. Warning..."

The moment the link was completed, repeated warnings sounded throughout the floor.

"What's going on?" Leon, who was wary of entrances and exits, asked sideways.

"UAC's electronic technology is no worse than ours that combines the technology of two Earths, and UAC's operating system also has relatively mature artificial intelligence." Ada's tone was solemn, but she continued to explain:

"I can manually control it and create the illusion that we want to control the entire system to distract the artificial intelligence's defense focus. Moreover, with its current thinking logic, it cannot guess what our real goal is."

"You two better hurry up! Those big guys are coming up,...ta...tata...fuck, Hudson, shoot all your grenades!"

The hunter's reminder came from the communication, and the sudden noise of fighting outside meant that they didn't have much time left.

Ada turned around and looked at the door that was flashing with explosions, and then took out a special grenade and handed it to Leon, "Once the blueprint is deciphered and uploaded, prepare to detonate the thing in your hand. Don't argue with me. This is an order."

After saying that, Ada rushed out of the control room without looking back.

"."

Leon glanced at the grenade in his hand marked "Experimental Product/Metal Hydrogen/3kg TNT", then his eyes narrowed and he continued to pay attention to the progress bar on the screen in front of him.

40%.

"Brother fell in battle! Brother fell in battle!"

80%.

"Hudson and Hicks are dead!"

100%.

! !

The battle outside the door is not over yet, but the progress bar has been successfully completed, which means that all Minova's facility blueprints have been successfully uploaded to the frontline base.

After confirming everything was correct, Leon rushed outside.

The corridor outside had long been messed up by stray bullets, explosion traces and bio-plasma, with minced meat, blood and incomplete corpses everywhere, both human and troll.

The battle was nearing its end.

The UAC side, which still had two trolls alive, won. One of them was still holding the dying hunter in his left hand, and kept cursing "Fuck...heretic...fuck".

Facing this scene, Leon flicked off the grenade safety without thinking and pressed the trigger button.

"Roar!!"

Whoosh~————!

As the trolls roared, the dazzling white light engulfed everything in the corridor and the control room——

——

September 30.

09:45, early morning.

In the combat meeting room of the front-line base;

The holographic imaging device showed the officers and investigators sitting here a high-altitude bird's-eye view of Minova.

But this bird's-eye view was marked with dense details.

There are specific coordinates of all land-based defense facilities, areas where human compatriots are detained, and even the stationing places of UAC soldiers are marked in detail.

This makes Minova "clear at a glance" in front of everyone.

"Okay!" Arthur Morgan, standing on the podium, said to everyone: "Let me repeat the content of the operation again. At 14:00 today, the company's fighters will first disintegrate the enemy's land-based mid-section defense system, and Ernio 002 will also carry out precise tactical and strategic strikes against the main force of UAC.

At 15:00, the second and third infantry companies of ARS, the fifth armored company and the first reinforced battalion of AECS will arrive at the designated area, and advance from south to north to eliminate all resistance forces and rescue trapped compatriots.

During the offensive, the company's ground artillery and air units will provide fire support for the frontal troops.

By ARS's first reconnaissance company and all investigators will board the Black Falcon assault boat and directly break into Minova, which lacks air defense, to find and kill high-value targets and try to paralyze the enemy's only command system.

Is there anything else you don't understand? "

"No more! Sir!"

"Very good! Very energetic!" Arthur was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. After a few hearty laughs, he continued:

"The boss said that all personnel participating in this operation will have corresponding bonuses and benefits, but I know that you guys want to eradicate heretics more, so get ready quickly. This is also the first large-scale war for our liberation of Earth 03!"

"Yes, Sir!"

——

…

At the same time.

On the second floor of the front-line base, in a private office;

Sui Yang, standing in front of the desk, first opened the mahogany gift box on the table and took out the 1911, which was also nearly 100 years old.

Then he turned around and looked at his two sons standing in the middle of the office, and handed 1911 to Leon with one hand, and said in a slightly heavy tone:

"In the afternoon, you will assist the company's troops with Sanguinius to launch a frontal attack, so son, the right to use this gun is temporarily handed over to you, I hope you can use it to save enough heretics."

Leon raised his hands to take 1911, and said solemnly: "Yes... father."

On the first day of listing, 10,000 words were updated~!

These 10,000 words were checked back and forth, fearing that the plot was not good or there was no sense of picture, and they were polished many times over and over again, hoping to satisfy everyone~!
