Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Elf…

New alien race?

How long have you been hiding in Pulton?

What do they have to do with the windy Kirahani?

Witnessing the real existence of the "elf", a series of questions instantly appeared in Leon's mind, trying to sort out what the border star area was facing, whether it was related to different dimensions, and so on.

If you want to solve the confusion, the most convenient solution is to cooperate with the support that is about to arrive, to capture them alive for interrogation.

But at this moment, the elf who was more mature and a little older than the other companions was able to use human language smoothly, and first said to the elf who was being followed by Leon:

"Yina, you're still too young. Didn't you realize that you brought a human being who wanted to capture us alive?"

talking.

The older elf raised his head, and his eyes met the monitor of the "ant" robot, and at the same time, it seemed to meet Leon's eyes through the mobile phone screen.

Then there was a sound of "Crack!", and Leon's cell phone, which looked like a crystal sheet, exploded directly.

! ! !

The sudden change made him hurriedly throw away the broken mobile phone, clasped the gun in both hands, and ran quickly to the distance. .

The expected collapse of the wall did not occur.

The six elves did not attack Leon, but chose to leave the warehouse through the main entrance.

Looking at the elves slowly approaching him, Leon raised his gun to confront him, but in order to avoid causing misunderstanding and delaying time, he also did not rashly pull the trigger, and immediately asked loudly:

"Who are you? What is the purpose of coming here?"

heard.

The elves gradually stopped, and finally kept a distance of about ten meters from Leon.

"Haha." The older elf smiled calmly, breaking Leon's idea of ​​procrastinating, and said:

"Humans, I know what you're thinking, and from your point of view, capturing us alive is the right decision.

But this kind of decision will only destroy the relationship between our clan and your human beings, let alone maximize the interests between us, and even fall into the calculation of the evil **** Pallas. "

"Benefits? Evil God Pallas?" Leon's expression became much more solemn, and he replied in a deep voice: "In this case, please cooperate with my work and stand here and stay here, how about it?"

"Forgive me." The older elf shook his head and smiled, "We have more important things to deal with, and now is not the best time for us to discuss cooperation."

The other party's voice just fell.

"Hoo~!" The roar of the engine of a small assault boat, which is dedicated to the atmosphere, came from above.

Above the dense foliage.

An assault boat with the hatches on both sides opened, carrying an intelligence emergency team equipped with light power armor and holding a non-standard Gauss rifle, quickly rushed over this area, circled and began to lower the altitude, so that the emergency team could You can jump out of the cockpit directly and perform an aircraft landing.

Sensing that the support called by Leon was about to arrive, the elves turned and left without lingering.

"Stand..." Leon wanted to intercept.

But "Stop!" Before the roar was finished, the group of elves had already jumped to the roof of low buildings or houses with muscle strength far exceeding ordinary people, elites, and even the Jagged Clan, and then ran at an extremely fast speed. The speed scattered and disappeared within his sight.

Just looking at the pure physical quality, the elves seem to be more like fighting races, especially the older elves. Without deliberately guessing and inferring, Leon knows that the other party is a handy existence in the use of psionic energy.

"Tread! Tread!"

The fourteen members of the emergency team who jumped out of the cabin and smashed the branches directly landed next to Lyon, completing the "regular" landing.

The moment they landed and stood firm, the emergency team was in a team of two, chasing in the direction where the elves fled.

The team leader with dark red shoulder armor led a subordinate to Leon and saluted: "Director Kennedy, it is an honor to respond to your support request, but until the technical staff arrives at the scene, please temporarily stay in the original place. Earth, I hope you understand."

Leon raised his hand in return and said, "Don't worry, I am most familiar with the procedures of the Intelligence Department."

And added: "Also, tell your people, if you catch up with the fleeing target, try to catch them alive as much as possible."

"To understanding."

The team leader who has been reminded transmits the command to capture live to each team.

The next Leon waited patiently for a moment.

The technicians who took the ground transport vehicles passed through the alleys with various instruments and inspected the interior of the warehouse where Leon and the elves gathered.

Lyon was only able to regain his freedom of movement after the results of the inspections showed that everything was business as usual.

He first took the ground vehicle back to the hotel, retrieved the travel bag and paid in advance, and then took the assault boat to leave here.

…

After a few minutes.

On the northern outskirts of the city of Budapest, there is a military base that is also "surrounded" by the rainforest, and its size is enough to accommodate 20,000 people.

The base is part of the UNSC 503rd Infantry Division, and the soldiers patrolling in Budapest are from the 503rd Infantry Division.

There are complete air defense facilities in the base, and there are also fortifications on the periphery. The most obvious one is the four corners of the base, where there are erected light prism towers whose tops are slowly rotating.

The electricity required for the four prism towers, air defense facilities and the entire base is provided by a nuclear fusion reactor.

There are not many heavy armored units in the base, but a large number of air transport vehicles such as transport planes and transport boats are parked at the airport on the north side.

And on the side of the airport, three small assault boats that were painted black and belonged to Umbrella were parked.

at this time.

The assault boat that Leon was on swept through the rainforest at a low altitude, drove above the base, and slowed down towards the airport.

inside the cabin.

Due to the lack of a seat, Leon stretched his legs out of the cabin and sat in the area near the cockpit, letting the breeze ruffle his hair, overlooking the entire base.

soon.

The assault boat hovered above the airport, and was guided by a ground staff holding a light stick to land in the designated area.

However, during the landing, Leon saw an acquaintance.

Wait for the assault boat to come to a complete stop.

The "acquaintance" also came to Leon who got up, stretched out his right hand to him, and smiled sweetly: "Long time no see, Leon."

Leon also changed to holding the travel bag in his left hand, freeing up his right hand to hold it, and also smiled and said, "Ah, it's really been a long time, Aya."

In fact, Aya Brea is the full name of this acquaintance of Lyon.

It was because of Leon, who was on the investigation mission, that Brea was involved in the strange human model incident, which made her, who used to be a Venice police officer, resolutely choose to join Umbrella and become an intelligence officer.

At this moment, Brea still has blonde hair that is no more than shoulders, and is similar to Lyon in terms of dress, all dark overalls and shirts.

But Brea's shirt is a slim fit. After all, she doesn't need a loose fit like Leon to completely cover the weapons and equipment around her waist.

The greeting is over.

Brea let go of her right hand, turned and walked towards the black-painted Warthog, and said to Leon, who was following her, "You are still as heroic as ever."

"It's okay." Leon spread his hands.

The two got into the car.

Brea was in charge of driving the Warthog, took Leon through the base, and continued: "How about, besides those six humanoid aliens, what else did you find?"

"They seem to have a tendency to form alliances, but my first impression is that they should like to engage in some riddles... Forget it, let's report the rest to the superiors."

Speaking of Leon here, he turned his head to look at Brea, who was focusing on the road conditions, and asked, "I'm curious about how you came to Puton."

"It's nothing." Brea controlled the Warthog to turn right and said, "Back then, the frontier sector needed experienced intelligence officers, so I came here. Isn't it the same for you, you haven't stopped running until now?"

"Not exactly, because I have quite a few vacations," Lyon quipped.

"Okay... You really haven't changed from before." Brea, who didn't like jokes very much, shook his head a little helplessly.

The two were talking.

They drove into the base of the 503rd Division, which was part of Umbrella's temporary garrison area.

The information and files provided by the Red Queen to Leon and the agents included the intelligence director for each colony, as well as the reservist, Krieg, and UNSC locations.

Like Pulton.

On the ground were nine UNSC divisional units, four Krieg combat regiments, and two reserve companies whose parent regiments were Wreckers.

Aside from the 313th Regiment of Krieger, which has been stationed at the quantum communication relay station for a long time, and a reserve company, the rest of the troops are distributed near the main city of Pulton.

Hundreds of thousands, or even more, ghost-faced beasts are lurking in the Pulton Rainforest now, and coupled with their psionic responses, the main force needs the support of the Intelligence Department, which is good at analysis.

And Lyon's luck is really good. Because of the recent situation, Brea just led his subordinates to temporarily stationed in the 503rd Division, and was able to respond to his support as soon as possible.

The Warthog came to a standstill.

The two got out of the car, walked into a three-story command center, and then walked towards the control room on the top floor.

to the control room.

The civilian intelligence officers were sitting in front of their workbenches, monitoring the rainforest near Budapenny, trying to track the six elves, and at the same time continuing to pay attention to the movements of the ghost-faced beasts.

The "unmanned reconnaissance aircraft" that transmits the picture back to each screen is a bionic robot that is not afraid of humidity and heat, and can almost perfectly integrate into the natural environment.

It is similar to the "ant" used by Lyon, but it is mostly a medium-sized bird, and it also uses living skin technology.

Just looking at the appearance, it is impossible to tell the difference between them and real birds. In a complex environment like the rain forest, it can be regarded as a very efficient detection method.

"What was the result?" Brea asked.

heard.

An intelligence officer reported to her: "Sir, as long as our reconnaissance plane successfully captures the humanoid figure, it will be destroyed by the other party, and there is a high probability of a psionic attack."

"I see." Brea walked to the center of the control room and responded according to the intelligence officer's report:

"Suspend the tracking of the humanoid aliens, let the emergency team recover the damaged reconnaissance plane, and the current focus of work is to assist the 503rd Division in searching and eradicating the Jirahani tribe.

Finally, a communication request was sent to the Sector Governor, stating that Director Kennedy had discovered important information. "

"Yes, sir."

The intelligence officers began to process orders from Brea.

Leon, who was standing beside Brea, glanced around at the picture on the holographic screen, waited for a moment, and saw many blue light spots emitting in front of them, and then condensed the Primarch John who was not wearing power armor.

The governor of the sector that Brea spoke of was the Primarch of the Second Legion.

John is wearing a black uniform, with dark green tassel hanging on his left shoulder, and a red and white umbrella and a button with the Spartan "Λ" logo on the neckline.

Although the Primarchs seem to be giants who can only slash and slash, in fact, most of them have extraordinary management skills, and Robert is at the "human ceiling" level.

If he devotes himself to the study of sociology, physics, architecture and other disciplines, his attainments will definitely far exceed those of the great men in history.

It's just the piles of government and military affairs, as well as understanding the situation facing humanity, that these Primarchs have little time to study their own interests.

After John's hologram was generated, he lowered his head and looked down at the two men of normal height, and said indifferently, "What information is there?"

heard.

Leon immediately said: "We found six humanoid aliens with psychic powers, the other party has the intention of forming an alliance, and the other party also mentioned the word "Evil God Pallas", so the Kirahani tribe raging in the fortress sector, There may be a connection with the different space."

"Cthulhu?" John, who learned this information, replied as usual: "I will report this matter, and support will also make arrangements. If there is nothing else, then please continue to carry out the investigation mission and provide more information. "

"Understood (yes)." Leon and Brea nodded.

See here.

John just nodded lightly, and without saying anything, the holographic image was dissipated, and the control room was restored to its original state.

"Evil God..." Brea muttered to himself and said to Leon, "You said, since when did we start to feel unfamiliar and reverent with the word "God", but became accustomed to it?"

"Let's start with the chairman." Leon didn't study it carefully, then raised his hand and patted Brea's left shoulder, reminding:

"What I need to consider now is how to complete the task. My intuition tells me that those elves are also chasing the Jirahani in the rainforest. If they launch an encirclement and suppression operation, they may encounter them by accident. ."

"I hope so."

…

Shortly after.

In the Harvest Star Universe, the main fleet of the Second Army is stationed.

More than 40 warships and ships of all levels are scattered and parked in orbits about 400 kilometers away from the ground, which are consistent with the rotation speed of Harvest Star.

And located directly above the ground city of Ordega, is an Olympus-class aircraft carrier with a sharp shape and a regular body that is nearly fifteen kilometers away.

This is also the flagship of the Second Corps, the Hope.

The Olympus class is the flagship of the Legion after the Reach Shipyard absorbed the core technology of the Covenant Empire, and then condensed the cutting-edge technology of mankind, and improved it on the basis of the original project fourteen years ago.

Moreover, after fourteen years of rapid development, Reach and many construction worlds have further enriched the "family tree" of the human fleet.

After all, the competition for orders is still fierce.
