Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

?

heard the words.

D-1999 instinctively regarded this question as an auditory hallucination, after all, the immature voice was very similar to his little daughter.

But next;

"Hey! Look! There are so many ugly guys here!"

"Yes, is it an alien?"

"Don't touch it! Henry, don't you want your hand?"

He heard more noises, and at the same time felt the dry and hot breeze brushing his cheeks, and the "spot of light" that was still bright even with his eyes closed.

Then D-1999 slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing that catches the eye is the incomparably blue sky, and the sun that should be very familiar, but is now unfamiliar.

Of course, D-1999 also saw a little girl squatting on his right, wearing a pink dress, with scattered blond hair.

"Uncle, are you awake?" The girl smiled innocently, then turned her head to look aside and said, "What are you and your friends doing here?"

friend?

D-1999 looked in the direction the girl was looking at, and found him lying on the side of a slide in a community park.

And the stalkers and tyrants were also lying on the sandpit, swings and seesaws, and there was a group of children about the same age as the girls.

There was even a daring boy who wanted to poke the pursuer with a branch, but was stopped by two companions in time.

Here is the earth?

Restraining the violence in his heart, D-1999 looked confused, got up slowly, and looked around blankly.

Outside the community park, there are all low houses with no more than three floors, familiar architectural style, hot and unbearable summer, and the occasional chirping of cicadas...

All these things made D-1999 return to the quiet life of being away from the army on vacation and spending time with his family before being imprisoned in a trance.

!

At this time, a number of flying boats passed by the waterway above the park, which aroused D-1999's curiosity and vigilance.

"Those are flying cars, don't be nervous~." The girl looked up at D-1999 and explained with a smile.

And reached out to touch the leg armor of the CMC power armor, and said, "Uncle, are you a soldier protecting us?"

"..."

D-1999 looked down into the girl's clear eyes and was silent for a few seconds, still not knowing how to answer this question.

"Ah! Wake up! They're awake!"

"It... it's looking at me... help!"

The children's sudden screams interrupted D-1999's thoughts.

He looked around, and saw that the trackers and tyrants had ended their "downtime" state, and they all stood up vigilantly, ignoring the noisy children and waiting for them.

And the tracker with a certain amount of wisdom bent down a little, and showed what "he" thought to be a kind smile to the children closest to him, and then said with a mouth that exposed his gums:

"Hey... you guys... good..."

! ! !

"what!"

"Ghost!"

Several children were frightened by the "smile" of the tracker and sat down on the ground.

"Roar…"

Seeing the children who were terrified of "him", the tracker who knew that he had done something wrong with good intentions immediately stopped "smiling", straightened up, and took a few steps back, away from those children.

"Haha~!" But the girl couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing, "Uncle, your friend is so interesting~."

D-1999 was also "infected" by the girl's laughter, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Although the tracker belongs to Umbrella's bio-organic weapon, they have fought together in the hell plane for half a century, and D-1999 has already regarded the other party as an important partner.

In a sense, the tracker was indeed his friend.

at this time.

A Yuou-VI, painted black and belonging to Umbrella's latest model, removed its optical camouflage, flew over the community park at low altitude, circled around, and selected a spacious and empty football field to land.

The moment the tail hatch was opened, a group of "soldiers" also equipped with the latest TPS power armor, armed with customized laser rifles or Gauss machine guns, quickly rushed out of the cabin, and in groups of two, completed the blockade of the community near the park.

This movement also aroused the attention of the residents, and they went out of their houses to see what happened.

"Everyone please stay at home and don't walk around at will."

"Military exercises are currently underway, please stay at home for your safety."

This group of "soldiers" used the excuse of "exercise" to stabilize the surrounding residents through the speakers of the helmets.

subsequently.

Several technicians wearing white light power armor walked into the park under the escort of three groups of "soldiers" and approached D-1999 and others.

Approaching, unfold the power armor helmet for the first "soldier".

Under the helmet is John Price wearing the iconic fisherman hat, bearded, and biting a lit cigar.

With Price leading the team, the true identities of this group of "soldiers" are also ready to be revealed. They are the mobile task force that Umbrella retains the organization, and task force 141 is responsible for eliminating and controlling anomalous phenomena on the earth and in the solar system.

?

D-1999 froze for a moment.

He was no stranger to Price. On the contrary, the captain who told them about the foggy area and mission goals was Price.

To D-1999's surprise, Price is still alive? !

The most important thing is that the appearance has hardly changed compared with decades ago.

At this time, Price ordered: "Disarm all tyrants, check their working status, and at the same time apply to the company for a transport boat, ready to transport them away."

"Okay." The technicians who received the order dispersed one after another.

Price, on the other hand, took down the cigar, snuffed it out, and put it in the side storage box of the power armor. He showed enough respect, walked up to D-1999, and said in a low voice:

"Welcome home, Sergeant Cage."

…

the next day.

Two black-painted flying boats, one in front and one behind, drove towards the Umbrella headquarters building located in the center of Raccoon City, and finally landed in the middle area of ​​the building, protruding from the large parking platform outside the building.

And berthing on the platform.

Ziegler Cage, wearing a white coat, stood at the entrance leading to the interior of the building together with several security guards in uniform who were only armed with pistols.

She was speechless as she watched the two flying boats land not far ahead one after the other.

Today is August 25, 2072. According to the original itinerary, Ziegler, Birken and other Peruvian researchers will return to Peru by special plane at 12:00 am local time in Raccoon City.

The three-day "Brood Academic Exchange" has ended, and the key points of the memory storage body have been recorded by them. After returning to the Peruvian Research Center, they will continue to improve the nanotechnology mastered by Umbrella, and try to make human beings completely rid of the Limitation of lifespan and disease.

It is Wang Zhaofeng and the company's high-tech researchers who really need to carry out long-term "cooperation" with the storage body to completely digest artificial stars and celestial-level architecture.

However, the current time is 13:24, long past the hour when Ziegler boarded the plane.

Because not long ago, when she left the brood with her colleagues and came to the lobby on the first floor of the headquarters building, when she wanted to take the company bus to the airport, the smiling Sui Bian said to her:

"Zigler, there will be two important guests coming to Raccoon City in the afternoon, and you will receive them."

Although he didn't understand why Sui Bian made such an arrangement, let alone why she, a layman, had to carry out the work of receiving VIPs, but Ziegler still agreed to take over.

See the flying boat open the "door".

So Ziegler walked towards her with puzzlement and curiosity, but when she saw the appearance of the two "VIPs", she became even more confused.

I saw two people getting off the flying boat, one was a "middle-aged" woman who was still charming, and the other was a woman who looked like Ziegler with short hair.

"Mom? Sister? Why are you two here?" Ziegler asked in surprise.

"Eh? Didn't you ask me to come here? You said you had something important to tell me and my mother." The woman also asked in confusion.

At this time.

An armed security guard interrupted the Cage family's unexpected reunion, saying, "Dr. Cage, please come with us."

After speaking, the security guard also waved his right hand and made a "please" gesture to the women and girls.

See here.

As if aware of something, Ziegler also said to her two relatives: "Let's go, the company has something important to share with our family."

"I see..." the woman nodded, took her arm and said, "Mom, let's go."

"okay."

next.

The three of Cage's family followed several security guards out of the parking platform, walked into the building, and took the elevator down to the sixth floor.

Get off the elevator.

Turn into a hallway.

Here, Ziegler saw Task Force 141 who were on alert and fully armed, and also saw Price and Xiaoqiang with their helmets unfolded.

Seeing such a formation, the woman and the woman showed worry on their faces. After all, these two have no contact with special forces like 141 in their daily lives.

Before Ziegler could speak to comfort her mother and eldest sister, Price and Xiaoqiang came to them and said:

"Dr. Cage, yesterday, at 11:23 Los Angeles time, we detected some unknown spatial distortion in the Lakewood neighborhood outside Los Angeles.

When we arrived at the scene, we found the long-lost Sergeant Cage and the B.O.W. of Wuju Company.

After the company's comprehensive inspection and analysis, it has been confirmed that Sergeant Cage, who is willing to cooperate with the company, is in a relatively stable mental state and does not carry any infectious microorganisms in his body.

So, according to the company's order, our 141 continued to escort Sergeant Cage, and arrived in Raccoon City at 12:45. Dr. Cage, your mother, and elder sister came to contact Sergeant Cage. "

"Wait...wait a minute..."

After listening to Price's series of words, Ziegler, whose brain was almost blank, staggered back until his mother and sister supported her.

Even if she realized that the company's arrangement might have something to do with her father, Ziegler couldn't believe that his father would actually appear in the headquarters building!

"Cage... Sergeant?"

After listening to Price's words, the eldest sister also reacted, and said to her mother: "Mom, I remember that my father's military rank is also a sergeant, could it be..."

At this point, my sister couldn't continue talking, because the idea of ​​"father is not only not dead, but still alive" is too whimsical.

"Sir..." It was the trembling mother who asked Price, "May I ask what you mean by Sergeant Cage..."

"Come with me, Mrs. Cage."

Price did not answer directly, but led the mother, Ziegler and elder sister to a reception room.

When the metal door was fully opened, they saw the "man" sitting on the sofa in the living room.

It was D-1999, who was wearing a black Umbrella training uniform, with a trimmed beard and short hair, so that he no longer looked so messy and sloppy.

"dad!"

Mentally prepared, Ziegler couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and rushed towards D-1999 while shouting.

Although D-1999 was a little confused, his extremely kind face, especially the shout of "Dad", made him pull Ziegler into his arms involuntarily.

The elder sister walked towards D-1999 slowly, but still didn't dare to answer: "Is it really... Dad?"

There are thousands of words to say.

But in the end, D-1999 looked at Ziegler who was sobbing in his arms, then looked at his eldest sister and said apologetically, "Dad is late."

"Dad!"

After confirming that it was the voice he had missed for a long time, the eldest sister couldn't restrain her emotions, and rushed towards D-1999 crying bitterly.

Wait for mother to approach.

D-1999, who once killed demons and evil gods to the point of crying and howling, and destroyed hell with his own power, seemed to be always in a rage, but at this moment, he showed a very contrasting gentle face, and took the initiative to say to his wife:

"Natalie... I kinda miss your lasagna."

The reception room is outside.

Price tactfully closed the metal door, came to the end of the corridor, lit the cigar he was carrying, and put it in his mouth.

"Sir." Xiaoqiang, who was following at the side, looked back at the reception room and reminded:

"As part of our mission, ensuring the safety of Dr. Ziegler Cage and her family."

"Huh~!" Price exhaled a puff of white mist, and said, "It's enough to maintain a normal alert, although I don't want to believe that a father who chooses to go to hell to protect his family will do something to hurt his daughter , but if there is such a possibility...

With our strength, it is impossible to shake that Sergeant Cage half a point.

However, with the chairman here, this possibility would only be killed in the cradle. "

And the reception room.

Unleashing their pent-up emotions, the Cage family sat on the guest sofa.

The eldest sister with obvious tears on her cheeks was confused and said, "Dad, where have you been all these years? Have you also been injected with nanobots? I feel younger than my mother."

Then, the eldest sister looked at Ziegler and asked, "Little sister, you are a senior employee of Umbrella, do you know something inside?"

Hear the inquiry.

Before Ziegler could reply, D-1999, who seemed to have remembered something important, smiled at his sister and said, "Anqi, tell Dad about your family first."

Immediately afterwards, D-1999's tone inadvertently increased a little: "Especially you and that little...your husband, how did you get into the palace of marriage? Dad is very interested."

…

at the same time.

The topmost office of the headquarters building.

Sui Bian, who took off his uniform jacket and tie, stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the past, future and present of Raccoon City, and used psychic powers to sense the emotions of the residents.

Silence a little.

Looking at the pedestrians in the street, Sui Bian ordered to the Red Queen: "Incorporate the tracker who returned from the plane of hell into the Supervision Department.

Although he is the B.O.W. of the company, I believe that "his" actual battle data against hell and demons...or experience can also be used to hunt and kill demons in different spaces. "

"Yes." The Red Queen agreed.

"Chairman." Bai Hou also offered to propose: "According to the analysis of D-1999's ability, it can also be incorporated into the Supervision Department of Different Spaces and Demons, or the Gray Knight in charge of Artemis."
