Umbrella, The Light of Humanity
Chapter 230
The UNSC's elite troops conduct joint exercises with Umbrella's armed forces every year to increase the tacit understanding between the two sides.
Moreover, after the exercise every year, more than a thousand elites with top performance will be transferred to Umbrella's armed forces according to the instructions of their superiors.
In fact, the outside world has long regarded Umbrella, UEG and UNSC as an inseparable one.
After all, from mobile phones to spaceships, there are eye-catching red and white umbrella logos in every corner of life, and there are also personnel affiliated to Umbrella at important meetings or unexpected scenes.
Even though it has never been deliberately promoted, people have already been subtly influenced.
So in addition to Krieger, the corporals also know the Spear of Olympus, Hammer Fall, and Hope Express, etc.
The corporal was most impressed with Krieger, though.
Because the Kriegers are always silent and never open their helmets to talk to anyone, including friendly troops who belong to Umbrella.
It's just that when the corporal and his comrades passed by the central facility of the base and saw the two Astartes guarding the entrance of the facility, Krieger seemed to no longer be his "most impressive".
…
Inside a central facility with air filtration.
The combat command center on the first floor.
Nearly a hundred Umbrella and UNSC civilian soldiers sat in front of their respective consoles, orderly conveying the latest orders to the ministries.
Next to the large three-dimensional sand table in the center, there are several UNSC school-level officers, one of whom is a grizzled major general.
But this group of important officers, compared with the three Primarchs who were also standing beside the sand table, seemed to be less "heavy".
In fact, the major general is an "insider" who understands the reality of UEG, UNSC, and Umbrella, and is also the first "insider" to understand the existence of the predator race.
Therefore, the major general's duty is to direct the UNSC side to cooperate with various orders issued by Robert.
Two days ago, Robert, John, and Sanguinius led the Astartes to clear the beast carcasses and giant beasts near the portal for the engineering teams of both sides to start building the frontline base.
Several transport planes lifted off to the Earth's low-Earth orbit, releasing numerous small satellites to scan the surface environment and construct wartime communications and networks.
A preliminary scan has now been completed.
The center point of the three-dimensional sand table at this moment is the frontline base where the portal is located.
According to the nearby terrain and latitude and longitude, the frontline base is located deep in the Sahara Desert in Africa, and the northwest, true north, and northeast areas of the base are marked by obvious red circles.
Wearing a very Roman-style power armor, Robert unfolded his helmet, looked around the crowd and said:
"Everyone, the results of the satellite scans, together with the intelligence we know, all indicate that we are on the earth in another universe, but the environment of this earth has been modified by the race we call colonists.
Just now..." Robert stretched out his left hand and pointed to the northwest of the base: "The satellite detected the city of Rabat in Morocco, and there was an obvious trace of firefight. This is the picture taken by the satellite. Please take a look. "
With that said, the holographic screen displayed above the sand table showed the surface conditions of Morocco to everyone.
In the ruins of the city, there are tentacle-like plants emitting a faint blue light. A large number of beast bodies shuttle among them, and there are even two 100-meter giant beasts, which continue to ravage the dilapidated buildings.
On the north side of the city, a small army with poor equipment and simple breathing equipment was rushing towards the entrance of the subway station ahead, while countless beast bodies were chasing after them.
Although this army tried to stop them, their firepower was minimal, and when they were less than 100 meters away from the subway station, they were finally swallowed by the army of beast bodies.
The picture stops playing.
The holographic screen dissipates.
Seeing this scene, the UNSC school officers all looked dignified, and Robert pointed to other areas of the sand table and said: "There are also traces of suspected human activities in Europe and the Middle East.
major general. "Robert withdrew his left hand, looked at the major general standing opposite him and said:
"I will send Krieger's 01 and 02 Regiments to Europe and the Middle East in ten groups for reconnaissance. Please select 10,000 elite airborne divisions to accompany you."
"No problem." The major general replied.
"John, Sanguinius." Robert glanced at the two brothers standing on the left and right, looked towards the westernmost side of the sand table, and continued to order:
"The primary goal now is to identify Morocco where humans were found.
My Ultramarines and I, along with Krieger's 03rd Regiment, and our UNSC colleagues defended the forward base and made sure our supplies were safe.
The task of liberating Morocco is entrusted to you two, remember your father's words, and destroy all alien garbage within sight. "
"Okay." The two brothers agreed in unison.
"By the way." Robert looked at Sanguinius on the right and reminded: "You are responsible for handling those two giant beasts, Sanguinius."
"Don't worry." Sanguinius understood his elder brother's intentions.
…
Shortly after.
South side of the base.
On the temporary airport that has not yet been built.
Hundreds of air vehicles such as transport boats, transport planes, assault boats, and aerial gunboats were launched into the sky one after another.
One of the assault boats.
Sitting on the left side of the cabin, the corporal stretched his legs out of the cabin, and saw that the assault boat carrying him and his comrades was moving away from the ground, and finally flew northward with the large force flying across the base at low altitude.
The corporal and his third platoon were selected by their superiors to go to Europe and the Middle East to perform reconnaissance missions with Krieger's 01 and 02 regiments.
look down.
He could see the continuous construction of the extremely large frontline base, and the "sea of corpses" that had not yet been processed around the base.
After all, the area where the portal is located is equivalent to the base used by the colonists to invade Elizabeth City. Naturally, there are a large number of beast bodies and giant beasts.
But the colonists did not expect that the first batch of invading troops would be wiped out, and when they gathered another group, they suddenly welcomed three Astartes legions.
When the colonists realized that something was wrong, for some reason, they lost the authority to close the portal.
Therefore, the colonists can only continue to send beast bodies and giant beasts to harass, use their superiority in numbers to hinder the construction of frontline bases, and try to defeat humans.
But in the end, they all turned into corpses surrounding the base.
The outer desert was soaked in the blood of a large number of beasts, emitting a faint blue light in the dark night, which made the frontline base look like an isolated island in the "blue light ocean".
And at this time...
"Hoo~! Hoo~!" The rhythmic flapping of the wings resounded over the "Wang Yang".
I saw wearing golden armor, holding a hunting bow, with white wings on the back, like an angel's god body, flying north with the large army.
It seemed that it had arrived at the designated location, and the Body of God and thirty Thunder transport planes specially carrying Astartes broke away from the main force and headed for Morocco, which is located at the westernmost point.
"."
Looking at the God's body that was gradually moving away, the corporal behind the helmet mask was dumbfounded, not knowing how to describe his emotions at the moment.
"The second lieutenant said that it was a biological weapon driven by the Umbrella Primarch, but no matter how you look at it, it must be an angel..."
"Dude, we're all on missions on another Earth, why should we be surprised? Calm down."
His comrades in arms were full of emotion.
But no matter what, after witnessing the body of God driven by Sanguinius, the morale of the UNSC elite was even higher.
Because even "gods" are their allies.

…
Morocco.
The westernmost country on the African continent is only separated from Europe by the Strait of Gibraltar.
The capital, Rabat, is the economic, cultural and political center of Morocco, especially the numerous coastal bathing beaches, which attract tourists from all over the world.
But now...
The blue and clear ocean turned bloody red and stinky, and there were glowing tentacle-like plants on the beach and in the streets.
The once prosperous urban area has become ruins and rubble today.
However, the two 100-meter-high monsters were still not satisfied, and continued to trample on the tilted and collapsed buildings.
Gathered in the city, countless animal bodies use the entrances and exits of the subway stations, like an unstoppable flood, pouring into the city's underground system.
city center.
In the underground fortress about 100 meters above the surface.
"Boom...boom..."
The surviving humans hiding in the fortress could vaguely feel the vibration caused by each step of the giant beast, and the dust kept falling with the vibration.
The underground fortress is like a small city.
But the roads of this underground city are narrow, and various buildings seem to be stacked on top of each other for unkempt people to live in.
All layouts are designed to accommodate more people and squeeze out more space.
Less than four square meters, the windows are pasted with transparent tape, and a pair of mother and child hugging each other are hiding in the corner of the bed.
"Mother…"
The young boy murmured softly as he looked at the lights that went off and on.
The mother tightly hugged her right arm, put her left hand on the top of the little boy's head, stroked it gently, and comforted him softly:
"It's okay, mom is here, don't be afraid."
"Hmm..." The little boy nodded obediently.
"Da da-!"
Suddenly, there were subtle but very intensive gunshots outside the window.
Hearing the gunshot, the mother's left hand froze, and cold sweat quickly spread on her haggard cheeks.
"Attention everyone! Gate No. 3 has fallen, please bring your equipment and supplies and prepare to evacuate!"
Immediately afterwards, another hurried broadcast came from outside the window.
This completely shattered the mother's last glimmer of hope.
"Mom?" The boy who didn't know the meaning behind the broadcast asked in confusion.
"Go! Son, let's go! Quick!"
However, the strong desire to survive and protect overwhelmed the disheartened despair, and the mother rushed out of the bed to the foot of the bed and picked up two oxygen cylinders marked "2L".
She carried one of them, and then helped the boy to carry another, and then packed bottled water, compressed biscuits, and other supplies into a dilapidated backpack,
Next, the mother held tightly the elastic bands of the two breathing masks with her left hand, held the boy's left hand with her right hand, and rushed out of their residence quickly.
"Run! Run!"
"It's over...it's over, everything is over, run? Where can you run..."
"Please keep order in District 6, don't panic! We will escort you to evacuate!"
All areas of the underground fortress are in chaos.
The 6th district where the mother and child were located was filled with horrified shouts, frustrated speeches, and soldiers shouting.
She clenched the boy's left hand and followed the crowd towards the east end.
More than a dozen soldiers wearing desert camouflage combat uniforms, body armor and armed belts, and armed with old-fashioned firearms, escorted more than a hundred people living in District 6 to the gate at the end of the narrow street.
through the open gate.
Arriving at the old tunnel, the space finally becomes spacious.
Moving on, the mother and son also saw many soldiers stationed here, returning to the fort city without hesitation.
When the crowd gathered in front of a small gate, a soldier rushed to the front of the crowd and reminded loudly:
"Attention everyone! Put on your breathing masks, and we will go to the surface next."
heard the words.
The mother, at the head of the crowd, helped the boy put the mask on and connected it to the oxygen tank before putting it on herself.
"Brother..." At this time, a person standing not far from them asked the soldier:
"Where are we going after returning to the surface? Do you have any more detailed plans?"
The soldier was silent at first, but quickly replied: "We will escort you as far away from the urban area as possible, well, put on your breathing mask, the gate is about to open."
After speaking, the soldier turned and left without giving any chance to ask questions.
"This... hey...!" The person who asked the question sighed dejectedly.
Everyone is deeply hopeless and confused, because going to the surface is no different from suicide.
Even so, people have not given up on survival.
After everyone put on their breathing masks, the soldiers manipulated and opened the rusty gate.
The gate opened, and the soldiers led the people through the dark and cold tunnels that were no different from a maze.
During this period, although the boy was very tired and scared, but with his mother and everyone there, he didn't cry, and even yearned for the surface, taking his escape as an adventure.
After all, since he could remember, he lived in the underground fortress with his mother, and his impression of the surface was completely different from that of an adult.
In less than twenty minutes, he and his mother followed the soldiers through the disused sewers and eventually came to the eastern edge of the city, which borders the desert.
At this point, the boy finally saw with his own eyes what the surface looked like.
like…
It's different from what he imagined.
"Roar--!"
And with the roar that made his ears hurt, the boy even saw the "monster" that adults often mentioned.
Not far to the west of the exit of the evacuation point, there was a huge beast lying on its stomach.
The giant beast stared at the boy and the others with its blue eyes, and opened its mouth to let out a loud roar, ready to get up.
! ! !
"Everyone is ready to fight and cover the retreat of civilians!"
"yes!"
Seeing this, more than a dozen soldiers immediately formed a formation, pointed their guns at the giant beast and pulled the trigger firmly.
"Run!"
"I don't want to die! I don't want to!"
The roar of the soldiers awakened the frightened crowd, who fled in all directions regardless.
The mother who recovered from the shock was also among them, and she grabbed the boy and fled desperately.
"Hoo~! Hoo~!" But in a daze, she heard huge wings flapping above her head.
"Mom~! Look, look! Is that the angel you mentioned!"
