Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

The same as the basement floor.

A small conference room.

Here only Sui Bian was sitting at one end of the long table, with his elbows resting on the table, fingers crossed, looking at the small holographic screen in front of him.

He also heard the system's words, but there were no waves.

It is expected.

Celtic has a bad temper and is conceited, but he is straightforward, and when he meets Chris, who is an anomaly in human beings, he will naturally stay and help Chris.

And he got a lot of useful information from what the old iron blood said.

Among them, according to the description of the predators by the elder Iron Blood, Sui Bian can determine that they belong to some kind of "Zerg" civilization.

Sailing with flesh and blood, unreasonable, unable to negotiate, swallowing and plundering, endless quantities, all of which are in line with the characteristics of the Zerg.

'It's kind of tricky. ’ Sui Bian commented.

If Umbrella solves this scouting fleet, Earth will have a hundred years of buffer time without being harassed by predators.

With the guidance of him and Umbrella, and giving human beings a hundred years to develop, Sui Bian believes that mere predators are definitely not a threat.

The tricky thing is, with Umbrella's current strength, can the scouting fleet be intercepted outside the earth.

The battlefield must not be placed on the earth. After all, once the opponent with the characteristics of devouring and assimilating descends on the earth, the result of human beings will still be extinct.

Finally, the attitude of the elder iron blood clearly shows that the iron blood will not provide substantial help to mankind.

However, Sui Bian had no expectations for this, so he was not disappointed.

Isn't this a surprise for Celtic?

Something is better than nothing, no loss.

At this moment, Celtic and the elder Iron Blood on the screen were communicating in their clan's language.

And the voice of the system rang in Sui Bian's mind again:

[Detected that the elite scavenger of the Inti Unancha clan, the lone wolf, was influenced by Celtic, intending to represent himself to assist humans in proper combat.

Task content: Accept the duel invitation from Lone Wolf and successfully defeat Lone Wolf.

Quest Reward: The Overlord and Umbrella will gain the Lone Wolf's respect.

The Lone Wolf will assist humanity in resisting the Marauder's scouting fleet and, if the Lone Wolf survives the battle, will assist Umbrella in forging a definitive alliance with the Inti Unancha clan. 】

‘Sure enough, it’s a lone wolf. ’ Sui Bian sighed inwardly.

As soon as the system finished speaking, the lone wolf on the screen invited Chris to a duel, saying that as long as there is a human being who can defeat him, he can get his personal assistance.

Although Lone Wolf used a translator to say the invitation, Sui Bian could feel the arrogance of Lone Wolf's arrogance and absolute confidence in himself.

The apprentice Celtic wanted to stay and fight with Chris, and the Lone Wolf would not stop him, and even felt relieved.

But if human beings want to get the help of the lone wolf, then there is only one way to overcome it.

Apparently, Lone Wolf believes that no human being can defeat him at all.

See here.

"Accept the other party's invitation." Sui Bian reminded Chris with a smile on his face.

Chris, who heard Sui Bian's reminder through the earphones, accepted the invitation without hesitation.

Shortly after.

In the empty warehouse on the basement level.

It's brightly lit and spacious.

In the middle of the warehouse, there were still Celtic, Iron Blood, and Chris, and there were no extra people who came to watch.

After all, this is not an entertainment competition.

The gate on the west side of the warehouse opened, and the humans who were invited to participate in the challenge entered the warehouse and walked towards the center of the warehouse with heavy steps.

This human being was Russ, one of the Primarchs.

Russ wore nothing but his black training uniform and well-fitting military boots.

! ! !

Seeing Ruth, who was nearly 3.5 meters tall, approaching, Celtic was shocked. He never thought that there would be such a majestic human being on earth.

A well-informed, lone wolf whose age unit is counted in hundreds, was not shocked at all.

"Roar!" On the contrary, the lone wolf roared excitedly because he encountered a powerful opponent.

When Ruth came to the center, Chris and Celtic took the initiative to stay away.

Ruth pretended to be ready for battle, and said to the lone wolf in a deep voice, "Come on."

The lone wolf took the initiative to unload weapons such as shoulder cannons, wrist knives, and boomerangs, and was also preparing for hand-to-hand combat.

next.

The two sides "mutually went back and forth", and Ruth was "lucky" to find a flaw in the end, thus "difficultly" won the competition.

[The original body under the host's command was detected and the lone wolf was successfully defeated, so this system judges that the host has completed the task. 】

Sui Bian, who watched the entire match on the screen, heard the rewards issued by the system.

The lone wolf is very strong, there is no doubt about it, it can crush an alien with bare hands.

Even the system gives the title of "elite scavenger".

But to fight against Ruth with bare hands, an elite iron blood like Lone Wolf can only end up being instantly killed in the end.

The battle seems to be "fierce", but in fact Sui Bian had clearly stated to Ruth that even if the lone wolf could be easily dealt with, he still had to show due respect.

Now, Umbrella's foreign allies have successfully risen from one to two.

Although the number is still small, it is better than nothing, and Sui Bian can also focus all his efforts on dealing with the predator fleet in the near future.

…

within the solar system.

It is about to enter the space domain of Mars' gravitational range.

An unprecedentedly large "living" fleet is sailing towards Mars at an extremely fast speed.

After a rough scan, there are dozens of large "living ships", and countless small "ships", at least over a thousand.

The reason why these ships are called "living bodies" is that the ships have insect-like exoskeletons with different shapes, some seem to be wriggling, and some have dense tentacles.

Not so much a fleet as a swarm of insects...

A swarm of insects that can navigate space.

In fact, if you look closely at these living vessels, it is not difficult to find the metal parts that are not covered by biological tissues.

This is the Marauder's scouting fleet.

In the center of the fleet is a mothership that looks like an earth beetle.

The size of the mothership is huge, more than ten times that of other large ships, and more than a hundred times that of those small ships.

Due to the absence of other reference objects, it is temporarily impossible to judge the size of the mothership.

Immediately afterwards, the originally fast-moving predator fleet began to slow down after entering the gravitational range of Mars.

At this time, the Martian fleet happened to pass by the moon of Mars, Deimos.

Just look at the mothership, which is comparable to Deimos, which is about 12 kilometers in diameter...

This is only the mothership of a scouting fleet.

Otherwise, the Inti Unancha clan where the Lone Wolf belongs to, facing the endless fleet of predators, would decisively choose to abandon the hunting planet.

And the predator civilization must have a living ship larger than this mother ship.

Sudden!

call out------!

Three dazzling blue lights streaked across the starry sky, rushing straight towards the predator fleet.
