Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

Outside the bridge.

In the low-earth orbit of Earth 04, the guns have been aimed at the defensive guns of the Prayer of Wrath, and energy storage has started just as the crew said.

R~! ! !

Turquoise light filled the tip of the muzzle.

Phew~! ! !

After accumulating energy for ten seconds, all the defensive cannons finally fired densely packed plasma cannons that also emitted turquoise light at the Prayer of Wrath who was willing to wait patiently.

It's just that the moment the artillery regiment is about to come into contact with the Prayer of Wrath...

boom! ! boom! !

The artillery regiments exploded uncontrollably, and the turquoise plasma flames quickly enveloped the entire Prayer of Wrath in a short moment.

But if you observe frame by frame, it is not difficult to find that the artillery regiment was offset and blocked by a layer of pale golden energy shield before it touched the Prayer of Wrath.

now.

Zero Four Earth's surface, North America, the underground fortress of the White House in Washington DC...

Madam President! After confirmation, all the plasma artillery regiments have hit the target!

The orbital defense gun is charging, and it is expected to continue firing in fifteen minutes!

Madam President, the Warriors, Rockets and Rocky Squadrons have broken through the atmosphere and are expected to make contact with the target in two minutes, ready for close observation!

In the emergency command center of the underground fortress, the reports of the civilian soldiers resounded continuously, and the real-time status was displayed on each screen.

As the most important leader on the scene, Patricia Langford had a dignified face, looking at the screen that was cut off by Gabriel and flickering with white no-signal star flowers, lost in thought.

It is true that they have different nationalities in the 04 universe, but in 1996, all mankind experienced a common resistance against the invasion of alien forces and won a difficult victory. Humans around the world realized that their universe was full of dangers, and they had no choice but to give up. Prejudice, conflict and civil war, choose to shake hands and make peace, the rest of mankind will have a future.

Therefore, the United Nations, which was originally a vain name, has become more and more important, and human beings have reversely cracked the crashed spacecraft known as the Reaper civilization, thereby achieving explosive technological progress.

In 2004, the government of all mankind established the Space Defense Agency. Since then, although soldiers have nationalities, the military has only obeyed the Space Defense Agency.

The Space Defense Agency's immediate boss is the United Nations...

However, these are all viewed from the perspective of Langford and the United States. In fact, as long as the world still has nationalities, no matter how bright the surface is, it cannot resist the undercurrents in private.

The unity of Earth 04 is forced, because there is a greater threat in the universe, unlike the human beings in the main universe, under the steady guidance of Umbrella, they have raised their ideological and spiritual levels to a higher level.

You must know that although humans in the main universe are extremely xenophobic, they are still very friendly and welcome to races that are willing to merge and integrate into society.

However, it cannot be said that the zero-four humans are useless. Just looking at the spirit of refusing to surrender, it is still very worthy of recognition.

Now Langford was waiting patiently, waiting for the plasma flames to dissipate, to see if their attacks were effective against the Prayer of Wrath.

Their orbital artillery can easily penetrate the shields and hull armor of the destroyer destroyers of the Reaper civilization, and there is no reason why they cannot destroy a small warship that is only about eight kilometers long.

(In Independence Day 1, the giant disc-shaped warship with a diameter of more than 20 kilometers descending on each city is the destroyer destroyer.)

It's a pity that everything in reality will not change because of her personal thoughts, let alone follow their gangster logic of everything should listen to me.

Suddenly, a civilian soldier in charge of surveillance shouted: The target still exists! Repeat, the target still exists!

? !

It was said that all the staff in the command center, including Langford, focused their attention on the large central screen.

I saw that after the turquoise plasma flame dissipated, the Prayer of Wrath was not only as simple as the target still exists, it was completely intact and unaffected in the slightest.

Sir! Another civilian soldier also reported loudly: The target also has some kind of energy shield, and our rail guns don't work at all!

What's the situation of the three squadrons?! Langford, who was relieved, asked quickly.

The latest news from Major Calgar said that they can already observe the target with the naked eye and ask for permission to fire!

Approve! Langford issued an order without even thinking about it: Also! In the name of the current President of the United States, I approve Major Calgar to use all the strategic weapons they carry!

Yes, sir!

As the conversation progressed, the central large screen and the small screens on both sides also switched from low-Earth orbit to the perspective of the pilots of the Warriors, Rockets, and Rocky Squadron.

There are sixty-six multi-purpose fighters that look like F-22s or F-35s, plus six bombers that look like equilateral triangles, and they are rapidly heading towards the Prayer of Wrath in the atmosphere.

However, just as the pilots of all the fighter planes and bombers were about to pull the triggers to attack the Prayer of Wrath, which even the orbital defense guns could do nothing about, it was the Prayer of Wrath that first released a blue-blue bondage stance, blinking. In less time, it quickly enveloped three and four human flying squadrons.

Then, to the astonishment of the pilots, their beloved plane actually started to fly autonomously, slowly approaching and entering the hangar of the Prayer of Wrath with the gates opened.

Immediately afterwards, the command center completely lost contact with the pilots.

.

Seeing that the screen fell into a state of no signal again, all the staff also fell silent, their expressions and demeanor were full of confusion, fear and bewilderment.

this…

How to fight this?

Their orbital defense chains, as well as the most advanced multi-purpose fighters and bombers, all looked like toys in front of the Prayer of Wrath.

After acknowledging the reality, there is only endless frustration in everyone's heart...

Why did they all walk out of the earth and travel all over the solar system, full of confidence, when they sharpened their knives and headed out of the solar system, did they encounter such a special enemy?

And the other party also said that they are compatriots from the main universe.

or…

Or choose the first item?

We are all human beings, why kill each other?

Some civilian soldiers have even begun to consider what they are doing now.

Finding something wrong with the atmosphere in the command center, Langford immediately said: Guys! We were able to defeat the Reapers twenty years ago! We can also defeat the so-called compatriots today! Who knows if what that person said is true or not? If We believe easily and choose to surrender immediately, so when the reality does not match what the other party said, we don't even have a chance to fight!

At least we try to resist! Go fight! We will not, and we will never be caught without a fight, we will tide over the difficulties together!

for freedom! !

for freedom!!

The atmosphere was immediately aroused by Langford's remarks, and everyone at the scene echoed loudly, and the remarks also broke through the key points. Indeed, all their understanding of the main universe came from what Gabriel said.

Who knows if it's true or not?

In fact, if they think it is fake, it is fake. Even if Gabriel provides enough evidence, they will call it synthetic.

At this moment, the large central screen that had just switched back to the real-time view of the low-Earth orbit showed everyone another supply ship belonging to the Blood Raven, which had just finished its jump voyage.

And as soon as the leap was over, this supply ship, which has multiple purposes of supply, maintenance, and transportation, immediately dropped a large number of airdrop pods on the surface of Earth Zero Four.

At the same time, the Wrathful Prayer, which had already approached the target orbit, also dropped an airdrop pod to the surface.

Not only that, there are more than 30 UNSC warships belonging to Gusteva, which are considered to be the UNSC warships affiliated to the Blood Raven. state.

Then, all the ships released a large number of flying formations carrying auxiliary troops, UNSC ground combat troops, and various armored vehicles. It seemed that the Blood Raven Battalion was preparing to carry out a very small-scale expedition.

Upon discovering such a situation, everyone in the command center could only overcome the fear in their hearts, and began to calculate and infer the orbits and trajectories of all airdrop pods and flight formations, and prepared to notify the Space Defense Administration to intercept them.

As Madam President said, twenty years ago, their ancestors were able to defeat the Reaper civilization, so couldn't they create another miracle? !

However, on the screen of their workbench, it shows that the Saturn, Jupiter and Mars bases and colonies are losing contact in turn.

Moreover, they also captured the main space ship that completed a simple encirclement of Earth 04, releasing an unknown waveband.

When they're confused about which band it's on...

Crack! Crack!!

The lights in the command center began to flicker violently and made harsh sounds.

The most important thing is that the workbench in front of them failed instantly, and the screen even lost its picture, making it impossible for them to understand and gain insight into the conditions of low-earth orbit and the outside world.

Seeing this, Langford's expression was extremely solemn, and he didn't need to let his subordinates try it out to know that their communication had been unilaterally cut off by the blood crow.

Sir. The old Minister of Defense, who is over 60 years old and experienced the war 20 years ago, remained calm, came to Langford's side, and suggested: We can try to restore contact with various bases using short-wave, and we also need to invite Ambassadors from various countries participated in the deliberations.

Well, do as you say.

Langford didn't have any objections, and he raised his left hand and kneaded his temple vigorously to relieve the nervous tension caused by various emergencies.

Boom~...! Boom~...!

However, one after another, everyone heard and felt the sound, as if heavy objects were hitting the ground above the fort one after another, which made Langford's headache intensify.

Then she ordered to the minister behind her: Send someone up to check what's going on.

Yes, sir.

The Minister of Defense nodded, and immediately arranged for two teams of Secret Service elites who were fully armed, equipped with plasma rifles and advanced armor, to take the elevator to the White House on the surface.

When the twenty-four elites felt a setback, and then heard the warning sound of Ding~! from the elevator, and the safety gate opened to both sides...

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Tack!!

Unidentified large-caliber rifles or machine guns, as well as small-caliber but extremely fast-firing crisp gunshots, spread around the White House.

Boom! Poof!

what!!

Help!

What followed was the muffled sound when the human body was subjected to a strong blunt blow, as well as screams and calls for help from human beings out of fear and panic.

! !

Hearing the news of such a fierce battle, all the special service elites became more vigilant, and quickly launched an indoor battle formation, divided into two teams, and marched towards the left and right corridors separately, preparing to quickly withdraw to the underground fortress after detecting enough information.

Shortly after.

When the team on the left left the narrow and dim corridor with narrow vision and came to the reception hall with floor-to-ceiling windows to the south, they found the shivering civilian staff hiding under the table and beside the sofa.

In addition, there is a secret service agent in a suit, holding his head in his hands, squatting in the corner, muttering to himself: Giant...they are giants...a giant more terrifying than the Reaper...

?

giant?

The secret agents were taken aback.

What kind of giant can make an agent of the Secret Service look like this?

However, the elites did not get entangled, but immediately expanded their formation, scattered in favorable corners and bunkers for defense, and separated two people to start asking the survivors in this hall, trying to figure out what happened to the surface.

As for the captain in charge of this elite team, he stood on the right side of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the lawn garden outside the White House, trying to search for traces of the enemy.

However, outside the White House, there is a thick white mist everywhere, like some kind of alternative smoke bomb that is extremely difficult to dissipate released by the humans in the main universe. It is impossible to see anything clearly with the naked eye, only a vast expanse of whiteness.

At this time, Wow! Wow! Two bursts of large-caliber rifles fired, smashing the floor-to-ceiling windows and making a Wow! Wow!, and hit the chest of the captain and another elite.

The expected explosion of the body did not happen, but the breastplates of the captain and the elite were directly dented, and the two were also knocked into the air by the force of the two guns, and their bodies rolled unstoppably.

Pfft!! At the same time, blood spurted from their mouths and noses unstoppably.

Plop!! In the end, they all fell to the ground, or fell into a coma, or died instantly, no matter what, they all lay paralyzed and motionless.

? !

Fire! Fire!

Seeing that the captain and a teammate were lost in an instant, the deputy captain quickly took over the command and ordered the remaining special service elite to fire a salvo towards the lawn garden outside the window.

Shhhhhh!

Dense, small turquoise plasma cannons shot out, shot through the glass, and streaked through the white mist.

Buzz~! Buzz~! However, the elites only heard the feedback sound of the artillery regiment hitting the energy shield.

Huh! Huh! Huh! and the continuous burst of large-caliber firearms.

puff!

what!

Afterwards, all the remaining special service elites ended up like their captain and teammates, collapsed on the ground and lost their combat capabilities.

Boom, boom.

At this time, the deputy captain heard heavy footsteps again, and raised his head with the last of his strength, and happened to see a group of figures over three meters approaching them.
