Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Jacob Keyes.

Thirty-six years old, former lieutenant commander of the US Navy, has participated in the Gulf War and other battles.

However, the major, who was in his prime of life and had a bright future, voluntarily applied for retirement in April 1999 on the grounds that he suffered from the mental illness of "Post-war Psychological Syndrome (PTSD)".

At the end of 1999, one of Umbrella's intelligence agents took the initiative to contact Case, and successfully persuaded the major to join Umbrella's armed forces under the arrangement of the White Queen.

Afterwards, after several screenings by the red and white queens, it was finally determined that Case would become the captain of the Guardian of the Dawn.

"Relax, Captain."

"Yes, sir."

After returning the salute to each other, Sui Bian walked towards the front of the bridge.

Brothers Robert, John, and Corax watched the bridge left and right as they followed their father.

On both sides of the bridge are the crew's consoles, and in the center of the bridge is the captain's position. The front end of the bridge is equipped with large portholes, allowing people in the bridge to see the situation outside the ship.

The location where Sui Bian led the Primarchs was behind the porthole with a superb view.

"Sir." Case, who also came here, reported to Sui Bianhui: "The boarding of the ship is expected to be completed in ten minutes."

"it is good."

Ten minutes passed in a flash.

"All boarding is complete."

"All hatches are closed, and the sealing process is in progress...The sealing is complete."

"Every item shows a green light."

"The Guardian of the Dawn is at its best."

At this time, the crew's reports sounded one after another in the bridge.

Case first looked back at the bridge, and then asked Sui Bian, who was standing beside him, as if asking for permission:

"Sir, do you...?"

"Take us to the dawn, Captain Keyes." Sui Bian nodded.

"yes."

After getting permission, Case turned and left, returned to the center of the bridge, sat in the captain's exclusive position, and looked at the order on the left side of the bridge:

"Start the engine."

"Start the engine!"

"boom--."

As the conversation progressed, the entire hull suddenly trembled violently.

But only for a while.

In more than ten seconds, the tremor rapidly weakened until it was almost undetectable.

"First, second...all engines are running normally, Captain." The crew reported.

"Very good." Case looked to the right hand side: "Contact the factory and let them open the top gate."

"Yes, Captain."

"Boom—boom—!"

Not long after the order was given, a loud noise came from outside the ship.

Out of curiosity, Robert and his brothers looked up through the porthole and knew what the "gate" that Case was talking about was.

It turns out that the top of the mountain has also been remodeled by Umbrella's engineering department, and now it is like an extremely huge gate, slowly opening to allow sunlight from the outside to enter the interior of the mountain.

The shaking-like movement lasted for nearly two minutes.

The giant gate on the top of the mountain was fully unfolded, its width and length were enough to allow the Guardian of Dawn to enter and exit smoothly.

"Unlock the dock." Case continued commanding.

"All immobilization devices have been released."

At this time, the hull of the ship swayed, giving everyone a strong sense of falling.

"Turn on optical camouflage."

"Opening... The Guardian of Dawn has entered a hidden state."

"After notifying Hong, let her clear the field."

"The red queen said that the clearance has already been completed."

"Okay!" Case cast his eyes on the porthole ahead, and raised his voice loudly: "Set sail, crew members!"

"yes!"

Immediately afterwards, with a sense of frustration, the Dawn Guardian slowly left the dock, especially when passing through the gate on the top of the mountain, the speed became even slower.

But after entering the outside world through the gate, the speed of the hull began to gradually increase.

Looking down through the porthole.

The mountainous areas of the airport and manufacturing plant gradually "shrunk", replaced by clouds that looked like a white ocean under the sunlight.

Robert and his brothers, who were in a good location, felt as if they were really traveling in the sea of ​​clouds, feeling extremely excited and comfortable.

This is tens of thousands of times better than a roller coaster, a pirate ship, or a jumping machine in an amusement park!

And Sui Bian...

"." Still remained silent as usual.

'The scenery is really nice. ’ In fact, he also felt novelty.

But Sui Bian, who has been in power for many years, has seen all kinds of turmoil, and the novelty alone will not make him show too much emotion.

Soon, the Guardian of Dawn carried everyone to an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

The so-called sea of ​​clouds has disappeared, which is the stratosphere with almost no weather phenomena.

Under the feet is the earth reflecting the arc of blue light, and above the head is a pitch-black space.

Case, who had been on the holographic screen in front of him, ordered again: "Turn on artificial gravity."

"Artificial gravity is on."

Case turned on the artificial gravity before everyone felt the weightlessness.

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the Primarchs. After all, the most interesting thing about going to space should be weightlessness.

However, the scenery that followed completely wiped away the haze of loss of the Primarchs.

What weightlessness, what outer space, nothing is as good as witnessing the real body of "her".

Outside the porthole, the blue "little ball" was a little lonely in the darkness.

Earth.

Looking at the mother star outside the porthole, Robert and his brothers couldn't help being intoxicated.

Compared with the whole universe, it turns out that "she" is so lonely, small and... fragile.

The Primarchs couldn't help but took a few steps forward, almost lying on the porthole overlooking the earth, their sense of responsibility and desire for protection burst instantly.

At this time, the Guardian of Dawn is already in a low-earth orbit at an altitude of 400 kilometers, circling this orbit from west to east.

And the whole crew, including Case, couldn't help but stand up and stare, intoxicated by this exclusive earth scenery.

Everyone present, without exception, is the first time to come to the universe, and the emotions such as excitement and excitement are beyond words.

However, as employees of Umbrella, they have extremely high literacy, and after a moment of emotion, they sat back to their respective posts and continued to work.

"How do you feel?" Sui Bian who also approached the porthole asked.

"In addition to being excited... I am still excited."

"It turns out that our earth is only this big."

"Compared with the entire universe, we human beings and the earth are too small."

All the Primarchs expressed their feelings one after another.

But Sui Bian still kept a light smile on his face, as if he didn't get a satisfactory answer.

"Father." Robert straightened his back and said in a deep voice:

"Because of the vastness of the universe, our goal should be to control, destroy, and crush all those who dare to invade humans and the earth."

"That's right." Sui Bian showed relief.

Then he turned to face the porthole, looked at the blue earth and sighed: "Everything is for human beings."

"With me and my brothers, the human flag will spread across the galaxy, father!" Robert echoed.

"For humanity!" the Primarchs echoed.
