Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

"Employee A-00112, Director Wang Zhaofeng, please rush to the Brood Weapon R\u0026D Center as soon as possible."

"Attention all personnel, the company hereby reminds everyone, please be sure to act in accordance with inspection, isolation and disinfection procedures and regulations, if you violate it, the minimum punishment will be expulsion."

"Please staff..."

The high-rise hall was full of voices, but the mechanical female voice broadcast overshadowed everyone's conversation.

Moreover, the height of the high-rise hall is 14 meters, and the outermost sides are surrounded by panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.

That is, a glass tube building similar to a cylindrical glass tube.

These areas are marked with holographic screens "Titan (Access Level: Very High/Special Application Required)", "Europa Research Station", "Mars Foundry", etc., and also have "Luna Base (Access Level: high)".

At this moment, Vulcan, Anakin and their equipment and luggage are located in the transmission area of ​​Luna Base.

The two left the glass pillar.

After coming to the crowded and more open public area...

? ? !

The originally noisy environment suddenly fell silent.

And the people who were busy all stopped, looking at Vulkan and Anakin in astonishment.

Primarch...

Among the thousands of people in the empire, there are only a few of them. The most important thing is that each Primarch has a shocking height and a very strong physique, and is the strongest existence other than the Emperor.

This is also destined to mean that the Primarch is something ordinary people cannot see with their own eyes, let alone close observation and contact, even for Umbrella's internal staff.

However, it is the two "living" Primarchs that are before everyone's eyes?

Although Vulcan and Anakin have not disclosed and announced to the outside world, as Umbrella employees, just looking at their immature and shy faces, they already have a height of 2.5 meters and 3 meters, so they directly ruled out Astartes or Possibility of banning troops.

In contrast, Vulcan and Anakin.

The two brothers were also slightly nervous, because this was the first time they appeared in public alone without their father, or the company of the doctors and the red and white queens.

Especially some female employees, after throwing unexplained glances at the two of them, Anakin, who was much more active than Vulcan, couldn't help blushing.

"Boom, boom."

However, with the sound of footsteps unique to magnetic boots, everyone finally recovered from their surprise and devoted themselves to their own affairs.

It is a team equipped with Thor's Hammer Mark XII (the latest model, the power backpack is almost gone, more portable, suitable for assault or stealth), and the helmet adopts the "囧" face Mark III as usual. The honor iron fist team chooses to patrol at this moment , temporarily relieved the embarrassing crisis of the two exoplasma brothers.

Although the Primarch is rare, "Human Truth" has been promoted for nearly two hundred years, and the experience of "equality" has long been spread among the people.

It's not that there are no "privileges", such as military priority, family members of martyrs, and other such privileges are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, because these people are worthy of admiration and respect.

Therefore, in today's human empire society, for so-called stars, actors or Internet celebrities, there will be no crazy fans and star effects in some universes.

People just think that this group of people has high salaries and incomes, so they must produce qualified works, and their words and deeds are stricter than ordinary residents, otherwise, they will be frozen or banned in minutes.

This point alone puts an end to the appearance of "playing big names" and "looking down on".

"Only" is the original body, and there are still two minor original body, and there is no outstanding achievement, the staff's curiosity is more occupied.

But if Sanguinius and Fulgrim were present, some female employees might be "crazy" for now.

see.

Volkan and Anakin nodded to the group of Iron Fist brothers to express their gratitude, and then came to the "service terminal" on the edge of the public hall.

Waited in line for a while.

The two came to a holographic terminal with physical touch.

After some operations, Anakin called up the flight information of Raccoon City Airport.

At this time, Raccoon City is around 9:00 in the morning, and the flight directly leaving the main universe to the zero-three universe needs to be after 5:00 pm at the earliest, because this kind of "long-distance" trip needs to prepare a lot of things to ensure nothing goes wrong.

However, the prices of direct flights are high, and the lowest one-way ticket costs 1,000 imperial coins (the purchasing power is equivalent to 4,000 soft sister coins).

The two of them have pocket money, but they buy a lot of things online every month. Volcano is for different metal materials in various galaxies, while Anakin is more for comics (paper), games and vehicle models.

After all, the two can be described as senior "otaku".

One thousand imperial coins...

A bit expensive.

?

Continuing to browse, Anakin discovered that it would take 15 minutes to arrive at Macragge for a departure at 5:40 in the evening, and then depart at 1:00 pm the next day local time, that is, twenty-six hours later. Terra of Universe Zero Three.

Most importantly, the one-way ticket is only six hundred?

"This..." Anakin raised his right hand, quickly clicked on the entry of the flight with his index finger, and displayed the detailed information in front of the two:

"Brother, this may be a cruise ship. Not only can you enjoy the scenery, but you can also visit Brother Robert's Macragge, what do you think?"

"Yes." Vaukan had no objection.

"Okay, I'll pay for the ticket, and you'll pay for the food and drink there?"

"Ok."

"Okay! I paid."

After finalizing the itinerary goal, the two immediately touched the holographic panel to enter the biological galaxy, and when the payment page opened, Anakin took the initiative to put his right hand on it, and readily paid 1,200.

Book your tickets.

A mechanical female voice reminded from the service terminal: "Please wait a moment, the delivery man is about to arrive, and it is estimated that in fifteen seconds...

Five seconds..."

With a brief countdown, a "delivery man" with a levitation device, bright white and yellow exterior paint, and a mechanical sentinel in overall shape, but with a more rounded appearance and less sharp tentacles than before, came to the service This side of the terminal.

And the female voice continued to remind: "Two, you can hand over your luggage to the deliveryman and handle the consignment business."

In this regard, the two chose to consign without even thinking about it, and they were still filling out the declaration form, deliberately marking "hazardous goods".

The human empire has never stopped selling hot weapons to civilians.

But until now, there have been less than 10,000 cases of violence caused by hot weapons, and all attributes, specifications, and laws are very mature.

In addition, scanning, monitoring and other technologies are very perfect, even through express delivery, consignment, and intra-city delivery, it is still possible to transport thermal weapons (need to have a permit from both the sender and the receiver).

As long as it is a conventional colony, the possibility of smuggling is basically eliminated, let alone the earth at the core of the empire.

As for Vulkan and Anakin's melee weapons, there is a high probability that they will be stamped with a "valuable and dangerous item" label when they are sent to members for scanning.

As for the delivery guy...

The current human empire has adopted a large number of machines to improve efficiency and facilitate society.

The one in front of the two brothers is one of the representatives. As long as they can find the service terminal, they can arrange various services anytime and anywhere, freeing their hands.

Even so, the word unemployment rate has long disappeared. Although service, construction, manufacturing and other industries are approaching saturation, for a society with almost unlimited resources, there is no need to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

And Anakin felt that buying air tickets was expensive, purely because Sui Bian would not let their Primarchs spend money lavishly.

Finished shipping.

The two of them didn't stay in the Umbrella Building either. They used the teleportation elevator to go directly to the lobby on the first floor, and then came to the first avenue in the city center of the raccoon.

Standing at the main entrance, looking up, it seems that the blue sky can only be observed through a "gap", and the street lamps and lighting are well-equipped, making it difficult for the two Primarchs to judge whether it is day or night if they don't look up .

The main reason is that the surrounding buildings are giant office buildings and apartments, all of which are 500 meters high, and there is an inexplicable depression.

Fortunately, according to the laws of the empire, the height of all buildings should not exceed 1,500 meters, and applications and certifications would be required for buildings above 1,000 meters, so the hierarchical structure of Coruscant was directly avoided from the root.

As for the pedestrians around, most of them were wearing black formal clothes (similar to Chinese tunic suits, not suits), striding forward, as if rushing to the target location.

After all, most of the residents who can stay here to work and live are elites from all walks of life, and they are elites among trillions. The rhythm is generally extremely fast, and they can't wait to use all their time.

When they saw the two Primarchs, although some people were stunned for a moment, they quickly continued to devote themselves to their own affairs.

The main reason is that pedestrians are not as knowledgeable as Umbrella's employees, and they regard the two Primarchs as ordinary Astartes.

Only a small number of travelers will sigh with emotion in a low voice, then take out their mobile phones to take pictures, and prepare to post some posts on social networks to satisfy a certain degree of "showing off" psychology.

and.

As an important city in the empire, the two Primarchs also saw many Glorious Iron Fists undertaking patrol missions while they were still wandering around. This was an unimaginable sight in most of the metropolitan areas of the colonies.

Today's Raccoon City is already a steel jungle, but some iconic buildings such as the "Clock Tower", "City Hall", and "Police Station" have remained.

At the same time, some holographic projection screens also played recruitment propaganda for the Imperial Navy and Army.

One of the more classic pictures is the ordinary imperial soldiers standing on the far left, and once to the right are Krieger, Sangheili, auxiliary army and Astartes.

As for the Sangvis and some of the Valin tribe, although they are already human citizens, their population base is not even a fraction of that of Sangheili, and naturally they cannot become the representative roles of the imperial military.

The two brothers used the public transportation system to visit many famous scenic spots, and even the wax museum where the emperor held a meeting with the plague doctor, Wang Shaofeng and others.

And not only Raccoon City, but all cities and residences in the solar system, their public transportation systems, restaurants, and shopping malls have set up Astartes exclusive seats.

After all, the annual total of other Legion Reserves, Glory Iron Fist, and Thutmose is at least half a million, and this number is still rising.

When the designated holidays of their respective legions arrive, some Astartes will also take off their armor and put down their bolt guns to enjoy the long-lost comfort.

afternoon.

After Vulkan and Anakin tasted the Chinese-style and sweet fast food placed in the mall, Vulcan and Anakin rushed to the suburban zoo without stopping.

I saw all the "wild" griffins lying motionless on the ground, and even grew belly, and I also saw the hydra whose teeth were pulled out and the poisonous glands were removed.

So far, the two of them finally took the rail train contentedly and went to the star port in the outskirts where many cruise ships, cargo ships and merchant ships with a length of more than five kilometers were parked.

However, the target cruise ship of the two Primarchs seemed too small next to those behemoths.

It is a "small" yacht with a length of only 600 meters.

After the two of them used their biometric information to pass the security check under the surprised eyes of the staff, and finally sat in the back row of the left cabin assigned by the flight attendant, which was a special seat, they finally understood why it was so cheap...

Because it reveals a "cheap" texture everywhere.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the flight has taken off as usual, please fasten your seat belts to avoid unnecessary accidents."

Following the gentle reminder from the flight attendant, Anakin, who was sitting by the window, saw the scenery outside the window slowly moving away from the star port area. After reaching above the clouds, the yacht directly launched an instant jump.

Just for a moment.

There was a "thin line" of black and white mixed in the scenery outside the window, and then, what appeared in front of him and his brother was the bare surface, brown Pluto as a whole, and...

A star gate like a large device.

Even though they were more than 100,000 kilometers away, the two Primarchs could still see an endless stream of ships and warships entering and exiting the star gate that looked like a "mirror surface" according to their respective routes.

at this time.

The yacht adopts the conventional navigation with the maximum power, and in less than half a minute, it arrives at the channel directly in front of the star gate, and then continues to approach the "mirror surface" conventionally.

After the cruise ship came into contact with the "mirror" at a high speed and passed through, the surrounding area was still dark and starlit, and there seemed to be no major changes.

However, the starlight, which should have been motionless, turned into dense "parallel meteors" like the "super-light voyage" shown in science fiction works in the middle and late twentieth century, and even passed the brilliantly colored stars. nebula.

After seeing such a scene, the two brothers who left the solar system for the first time couldn't help feeling secretly...

The money was not in vain.

Fifteen minutes flew by.

When Vulkan, Anakin, and a group of passengers left the cabin, walked out of the corridor bridge and arrived at the star port, and were about to take out their checked luggage and continue to enjoy the scenery of the alien star Macragge, they saw a team of ever-victorious troops equipped with exclusive terminators come to them.

However, the first person is wearing a slim blue robe, with waist-length light yellow hair. She looks delicate, but her ears are slender female Valin? ?

The other party approached.

Smile.

Straight to the point: "Welcome to Macragge, both of you. I am Evelyn, and I am here to welcome his brothers on behalf of the Lord of Limits."

These chapters are a transition. Let’s look at the current life of the empire through the two Primarchs. Tomorrow, “abnormalities” will emerge. A preview picture will be released. I don’t know if it can pass the review...
