From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

And this is the fourth space gate opened by Sui Yang.

Ta-ta!

Soon, four sturdy hellhounds carrying wired instruments came from the ruins base through the mercury mirror and came to this suburban forest.

"..."

The hellhounds did not rush to spread around. They first stopped where they were, their noses twitching, as if they were using their sense of smell to distinguish nearby things.

Then, the hellhounds reconnaissance the radius of 50 meters with the space gate as the center.

After a series of actions, after confirming that there was no threat near the space gate, the four hellhounds gathered again near the space gate and waited.

Within a few seconds.

Xiaoqiang, Soap, and Ghost, who were equipped with hazardous environment work clothes (HEV), also came to this forest and quickly distanced themselves from the space gate, half-knelt on the ground, and stood guard with guns.

"..."

Looking around, Xiaoqiang always had an indescribable feeling.

The data displayed on the helmet screen showed that they were on another earth, and the results of visual observation were also normal.

As a member of the advance team with rich combat experience, Xiaoqiang believes that the more ordinary the environment seems, the more danger it hides.

"It's so quiet, there are only cypress trees around." Soap complained as usual on the internal communication.

"It's spruce." Ghost corrected.

"..." Xiaoqiang was silent and did not express his personal opinion.

Next, Price and the remaining advance team members arrived, and the space gate finally became lively.

Looking at the surrounding dense forest, Price immediately ordered the advance team to build a wired base station and released four unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. He also sent Xiaoqiang, Soap, and Ghost to continue to explore two kilometers to the west, and the other three teammates were responsible for the east.

The four hellhounds were also unloaded from their carrying instruments and patrolled freely in four directions, but the range was also no more than two kilometers.

After a while.

The three of them had walked nearly two kilometers, and the shadow of the space gate had long disappeared behind them.

During this period, the HEV's air filter also filtered and tested the nearby air several times, and presented the analysis results on the helmet screen.

"Nitrogen content is 78%, oxygen is about 21%, there is no big change, but the temperature is a little low, but these should be normal." Soap said on the communication.

"Normal? You may have missed a few data." Ghost reminded in a deep voice.

"Missed a few items...?" Soap's tone was puzzled, as if he was reviewing again, and then he seemed to have found the missing items, and changed the subject:

"In the rare gases that are less than 0.01%, in addition to neon (nǎi), helium, and methane, there are actually very small amounts of iodine-131 and strontium (sī) -90?! Nuclear explosion?"

"Not sure, analyzing data is not the job of us combatants." Ghost did not speculate casually, and raised his hand to point to the front of the crowd, "The latest picture from the drone shows that there is an open area ahead, speed up?"

"Let's go."

The three quickened their pace and came to the open area pointed out by Ghost.

It was a low mountain with few trees.

They climbed to the top of the hill and looked around. Combined with the shared images from the drone, they found a space gate in the middle of the deep forest, and a medium-sized city to the west. Further west, there was an endless ocean.

At this time, in the command center of the ruins base;

"..."

Sui Yang, standing next to the central console, put his hands behind his back and tried to analyze the world background of the 04 universe with the only intelligence.

There are very small amounts of iodine-131 and strontium-90 in the air, and the low temperature caused by the haze, all these characteristics point to the nuclear winter after the nuclear explosion.

"Metro"?

"Fallout"?

Or "Terminator"?

There are countless games and movies with nuclear explosion backgrounds. Sui Yang cannot make an accurate judgment based on the information currently obtained.

However, it may also be a parallel time and space of some games and movies, such as the 03 universe related to the movie version of "Doom".

At this time, the drone sent another aerial view of the city.

It is medium-sized, with a complete airport, port and some light industrial factories. It seems that it has not been hit by a nuclear attack.

At the same time, the bird's-eye view also showed Sui Yang the architectural style of the city.

Combining the spruce forest, severe cold and special bay structure, Sui Yang deduced that the city was Reykjavik, Iceland.

All these scenes made him feel more and more that the world background of the 04 universe was most likely related to "Metro" or "Fallout".

But before obtaining more detailed information, Sui Yang would not easily draw any conclusions.

After thinking for a while.

Sui Yang opened his mouth and ordered: "Notify Captain Price to recall the advance team members at the edge of the space gate shielding range.

Then notify the engineering department to immediately start the construction of the front-line base, and the logistics department will also transport the components of Ennio 004 to the 04 Earth as soon as possible. We need control of the high-altitude orbit."

"Yes, boss."

"Father." Seeing that Sui Yang had given the order, Magnus, who was standing on the right side of the center console, couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is this the scene of nuclear winter?"

"I guess so." Sui Yang did not deny it.

"Are the humans in the 04 universe killing each other?" Horus, who was standing on the left, asked in confusion.

"Maybe." Sui Yang still did not deny it, and said: "But it is also possible that they were attacked by unknown forces and had to take the way of mutual destruction to achieve the effect of destroying the enemy. It is not only the self-destruction of humans that will lead to nuclear winter."

"..." Horus nodded thoughtfully.

"I wonder what kind of special technology exists in the 04 universe? Or strange knowledge." Magnus' curiosity has not diminished.

Sensing his son's emotional fluctuations, Sui Yang looked at his right side and reminded: "Magnus, it is good to have a desire for knowledge, but don't be controlled by knowledge, and don't lose yourself."

Hearing this, Magnus was stunned for a moment, but after carefully speculating on the meaning of this sentence, he solemnly said: "I know, father, I will pay attention."

"That's good to know."

After Sui Yang finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to his sons' psychological activities, but continued to issue more detailed orders to all units through the central console.

As for Sanguinius, he is currently in the 03 Earth (Doom Slayer), responsible for personally leading the company's combat troops to assist Leon in raiding the UAC base on the 03 Earth.

At this stage, only Horus and Magnus, who have grown to about 1.2 meters tall, stay by his side.

But it's okay. Although they are less together at the beginning, Robert, Sanguinius and Leon have indeed helped him share a lot of pressure.

——

…

Three days later.

Earth 04.

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

"Everyone." Ada, wearing a black training uniform, stood at the front and used holographic projection to explain to the dozen investigators present in a deep voice:

"Not long ago, Ernio 004 captured a large number of heat source reactions in Yemen, but the reaction disappeared quickly. In order to find out the situation and provide more information to friendly forces, we will go to investigate first."
