Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Chapter 224: "Haunted", attacked

It didn't take long.

A shape like "concave" is reversed, and a consignment boat belonging to the municipal administration arrives over the street.

The consignment boat came to the top of the old car, aimed at it, and landed, successfully absorbing the car in the "concave" gap.

Then the consignment boat took the old-fashioned car and slowly lifted into the air under the unwilling and complaining gaze of the Afro driver.

It took less than an hour to buy the car from the expansive head to the road until it was towed away by the municipal government.

Due to the fact that parents do not support buying a car, their own funds are not rich, and other factors.

Afro bought this second-hand car with cash from a car dealer who guaranteed "carbon emission compliance", "complete procedures", and "absolute entry system".

Since the advent of Umbrella hydrogen engine vehicles, they have gradually replaced traditional vehicles due to their reliable performance and low energy costs.

At the end of 2019, UGE official data showed that the market share of hydrogen-engined vehicles reached 89%.

So on November 1, 2021, UGE promulgated a "Carbon Emissions Law" prohibiting the sale of traditional vehicles that do not meet carbon emissions standards.

The promulgation of the carbon emission law is a matter of course. After all, this is a choice made by the public.

Following this, the price of traditional vehicles has plummeted, but for car dealers who are interested in business opportunities, it has ushered in a short "spring".

Now, it is the "late spring".

Until today, February 4, 2022, in just three months, through the cooperation and efforts of the police, customs and other departments, the phenomenon of buying and selling has been effectively controlled.

Due to a fluke, he blindly trusted the car dealer’s explosive head, and had to follow the police officer back to the police station to make a transcript, and then accept the punishment for dangerous driving.

However, the car dealer who cheated for money fraud entered the police station half an hour earlier than the explosive head.

When the police flying boat lifted off, the streets returned to normal, and tourists continued to enjoy the southernmost summer in Africa.

This extremely modern city is the second largest city of Elizabeth in Africa, Port Elizabeth by the sea, and the second largest Star Harbor in Africa.

All kinds of engineering ships, mining ships and large cruise ships hovering over the coastline are one of the reasons why there are so many tourists in Elizabeth City.

The desert plain 20 kilometers northwest of Elizabeth City has a UNSC base large enough to accommodate 30,000 people.

At the base’s airport, there are a large number of dark green painted Pelican, dagger bomber and other transport boats and attack aircraft, as well as many small assault boats in the atmosphere.

Overlooking the entire base from the sky, in addition to a complete range of aerial vehicles, ground vehicles are mostly off-road vehicles and light armor, but there are several Scorpio main battle tanks.

At this moment, in the open space and playground to the east of the base, a large number of soldiers wearing black short-sleeved and desert-colored combat pants are undergoing high-intensity training.

I saw soldiers in groups of five or five on one of the playgrounds, carrying a solid log together and running around the playground.

On the three flagpoles in the middle of the playground, there are UGE and UNSC flags, as well as an inverted dagger flag printed by fire.

The words "UNSC Ninth Airborne Division" are also printed around the dagger.

The UNSC Ninth Airborne Division has a total of more than 36,000 people, including ground crews, civilians, and various personnel.

However, the actual number of people in the base is about 21,000, most of which are "recruits" who have failed to meet the standards, and the other 15,000 are deployed to UNSC naval vessels.

Although they are recruits, their physical fitness and reaction speed far exceed those of ordinary Marines or Army.

After all, the duty of the paratroopers is to take the airborne cabin that can accommodate four people, leave the naval vessel directly to break through the atmosphere, and perform rapid strikes on ground targets.

Essentially, the same as Umbrella's Hell Paratrooper Company.

Therefore, the nine airborne divisions under UNSC are elites second only to the special command.

The office building in the center of the base.

Inside an office on the fifth floor.

An officer with gray hair, in his early fifties, with the rank of colonel, sits behind his desk.

It seems that I don't like high-tech, so I read the paper documents to understand the current situation of the airborne division.

"Huh~—."

At this moment, the opening and closing of the automatic door resounded in the office.

Hearing the movement, the colonel didn't look away from the file and said, "Is there anything important, Lieutenant."

However, the voice fell for a few seconds, and the "second lieutenant" did not reply.

?

The colonel, who sensed something was wrong, raised his head, but never saw the second lieutenant who helped with his daily work. He was still alone in the office.

See here.

The colonel frowned and became vigilant. He didn't bother to consider his personal preferences. He directly called up the holographic screen on his desk and contacted the ensign.

When the second lieutenant's figure appeared on the screen, the colonel said: "Second lieutenant, let the maintenance staff come to my office."

"Yes, sir."

There is no two minutes after the end of the communication, and the automatic door opens again.

But this time, it was not as "haunted" as before. Instead, the second lieutenant led two maintenance personnel who also wore military uniforms into the office.

"Check the door of my office," the colonel said.

"Yes."

Two maintenance personnel began to check the automatic door and the terminal installed on the wall. Finally, a maintenance worker reported:

"Colonel, the automatic door wiring is indeed a bit aging, do you want to replace it with a new one now?"

"Well, change it."

The colonel nodded in response, and felt ridiculous about the nervousness of making a fuss just now because of the sudden opening and closing of the automatic door.

But in fact, a "ghost" that could not be observed with the naked eye, took advantage of the gap between the ensign and maintenance personnel to open the automatic door and left the colonel's office.

If the “ghost” can be outlined, it will only highlight the figure of almost perfect proportions, and she is the first group of ghost agents who have been taught by Sui Bian personally——

Nova.

The purpose of her coming here is to help the Red Queen thoroughly grasp the detailed information of the UNSC's newly formed 7th Airborne Division, all officers at the lieutenant level, and officers above the lieutenant level.

For example, whether the mood is irritable, whether the behavior is cautious and so on.

The Red Queen can use big data for analysis, but field investigations confirmed that ghost agents with psionic perception like Nova are still needed.

After getting accurate information, once the abnormal incident was detected near the place where the abnormal event occurred, there were fighters from the Ninth Airborne Division...

Then the Red Queen can rely on the personality of each officer and give them different instructions to help Umbrella deal with the incident more efficiently.

Such "investigation" tasks are equivalent to relaxation and recreation for Nova, who possesses extremely powerful psionics.

She came to the central hall on the fifth floor and used the walking stairs to avoid the officers who were also walking on the stairs, preparing to leave the office building.

"Beep—! Beep—!"

"Attention everyone! Elizabeth City is under attack!"

But suddenly, the entire base sounded an alarm and broadcast reminders, which made Nova no longer in a leisurely mood.
