Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

An uninhabited desert.

Clear blue weather.

But there were no birds in the sky.

...

Two new recruits who were supposed to be part of the reserve team after participating in the trial, stood on a sand dune with blank faces, overlooking the abandoned city buried in sand and sand.

It's not completely buried either.

Through the farsightedness of the Astartes level, the two of them were able to find that, except for some buildings that were swallowed by yellow sand for several meters, many asphalt roads piled up with abandoned vehicles were still clearly visible.

Not only that, they also found a large number of bones inside and outside the abandoned vehicles, as well as on the road, alleys and some corners...

It's human skeletons.

? !

Seeing this, the two recruits raised their vigilance again, held the bolt rifles in their hands steadily, carried the small caliber plasma cannon, and walked steadily towards the abandoned city several kilometers away.

I said, Sui Yang, what's the situation with us? Sui Yue asked the brothers beside him while pointing the muzzle towards the city.

Maybe...this is the content of the new trial. Sui Yang was vigilant about the movement around the two of them, and replied.

New trial content?

Hearing what his brother said, Sui Yue also reacted immediately.

indeed.

The trials, which have remained unchanged for a hundred years, have suddenly undergone some changes this year, especially the permission to use bolt weapons with a caliber above .75cal in advance.

In addition, it is obviously just a strengthened titan and prehistoric dinosaur, there is no need to sign any non-disclosure agreement, so all this is the empire...

It should be a special trial that their father customized for them.

Moreover, my father didn't want them to tell about this change. What he wanted was to give them a surprise attack, so that future recruits would not be psychologically prepared.

For a brief moment.

The two twin brothers analyzed their father's general plan for the recruits.

As a member of the battle group, although he has not yet joined the legion, the bonuses given by the G gland make Sui Yang and Sui Yue's political smell far exceed that of their peers and ordinary people, even if they are Some imperial officials may also be unmatched.

No longer a mortal.

Moreover, due to the special requirements set by the original body, the Fallen Legion only allows youths and teenagers from the Sui family with the Huaxia surname to become suitable candidates. They must be martial arts and have a firm temper.

In layman's terms, it is the kind of young man who accepts death, and once he becomes an Astarte, he must be a young man who is loyal to his father.

This greatly increased the difficulty of screening the red queens and white queens, but it also made the elite of the fighters stronger than the freshmen of the same period.

The most important thing is that because the people in the battle all have the surname Sui, they all regard themselves as their father's real natural sons. When necessary, they will even take the initiative to help his father erase some negative information and things.

Generally speaking, the fighters are not only good at charging, but also gradually shifting their positioning towards father's executioner. Secretly, there is a tendency to compete with the Space Wolves.

So when Sui Yang and Sui Yue figured out their father's thoughts in a very short time, and that his father was most likely watching their every move, they immediately decided to pass this trial perfectly.

And after the trial is over, they will keep their mouths shut and help their father carry out this new trial model smoothly.

at this time.

Well...according to the angle of the stars, plus... Sui Yue weighed the plasma cannon connected to the battery box (cold fusion matrix) behind his hand, and said the analysis:

The weight of the cannon hasn't changed much. I think the two of us may have been transported by father's space and brought to Earth in a multiverse.

It's just that the environment no longer meets the conditions for eventual survival. It seems that the human compatriots on this earth seem to have been wiped out by some kind of abnormality?

Having said that, Sui Yue didn't continue to speculate whether it was artificial intelligence, alien miscellaneous, or a demon spirit similar to a different space.

After all, these can't be guessed by guessing alone.

Well, let's take a look in the city. Sui Yang also had the same opinion.

it is good.

So next, the two brothers quickened their pace a little, and it took only a minute to cross the desert and reach the edge of the abandoned city.

walk in.

Sui Yue, holding a plasma cannon, was in charge of vigilance, while Sui Yang came to the nearest pile of abandoned vehicles, observed for a while, and said:

Based on the corrosion traces of the vehicles and the current state of the bones, it should be fifty to seventy years ago when the mutation erupted in this city.

Half or more than half a century... Sui Yue looked around at the desolate scene, and the dead silence except for the sound of the wind, and couldn't help sighing: Oh, I don't know if anyone is still alive.

There must be. Sui Yang responded without thinking.

What's more, he was still in the back seat of the abandoned vehicle, and found that they were hugging each other, one big and one small, which seemed to be the bones of the relationship between mother and child.

Seeing this scene, Sui Yang's mood suddenly turned sour.

Coupled with his own talent in psychic energy, by touching the bones, he could vaguely feel how desperate and painful the mother and son were when they were dying.

Then he said in a deep voice: I believe that no matter which parallel universe it is, as long as we have the strength to fight, our compatriots will not be able to give up easily.

... Sui Yue nodded silently.

next.

The two recruits began to scout the city one by one and quickly.

Even if they are not equipped with power armor, they don't even have antique-level mechanical skeletons, and they only wear simple armor made of titanium alloy, but the two have already begun to have reinforced iron bones and hard skin.

According to the current state, as long as the head and the two hearts are not attacked at the same time by Gauss spikes with super armor-piercing capabilities and a caliber greater than 12mm, they can run wild on the home planet of a first-level civilization.

(Note: Auxiliaries usually use 8mm Gauss rifles, with a chamber speed of 10% to 12% of the speed of light. With tungsten-iron spike bullets, they can cause serious damage to most light armor and energy shields.)

However, if the first-level civilized military continued to carry out conventional bombing on recruits like them, or directly dropped nuclear bombs, they would still be able to achieve their goal of killing them.

The premise is that the recruits are not equipped with any power armor.

At this moment, Sui Yang and Sui Yue, no matter whether they are recruits or not, they are already Astartes, so they carry out the investigation without fear.

Whenever they find any offal, they have absolute confidence to kill it.

Along the way, there was still a dead silence.

There are no animals, and the plants are sparse. It seems that this place has been completely abandoned and forgotten by humans.

However, the two of them judged from a few confused old world newspapers and various signs of this abandoned city that it should be located in the north and west of the Middle East. It was built by those oil tycoons and royal families with a lot of money. Oasis new concept city.

On a certain sign, the words recycling and renewable energy are a new starting point and a new chapter for mankind are engraved.

And accompanying the words, there is a family of three embracing side by side, with smiles that don't seem to be fake, and a schematic diagram of the bright weather.

It's just that this sign has long been yellowed and rusted due to years of wind and sun. It doesn't look like a new starting point.

But through these, Sui Yang and Sui Yue also judged more intuitively that the language and characters used by human civilization on this earth are almost the same as their main universe.

Not long.

They almost crossed the entire city and came to the northernmost suburbs.

When they turned over a towering dune and could see the other end of the dune, their expressions changed slightly.

Because it's like a cemetery.

Ship cemetery.

Countless ships that were too late to take off into the sky, similar in appearance to Umbrella's earliest pioneer engineering ship, but only about 100 meters long, were moored in disorder on the outskirts of the city.

Through extraordinary visual vision, it can also be seen that the words colonization-Mars are marked on these ships.

Sigh. Looking at the scene in the distance, Sui Yue said with emotion again: It seems that the compatriots on this earth have suffered a devastating blow before they have had time to completely walk towards the sea of ​​stars.

... Sui Yang nodded silently, and there was regret in his eyes.

Even though they have developed technology capable of carrying out large-scale colonization operations in the solar system, the mother planet Earth has become what it is today.

Either humans are extinct, or humans who have colonized Mars, or the moon, cannot return to Earth due to fear of some existence, and cannot save their fellow humans, which makes the decline scene they both found so dead.

What exactly is causing the exception?

This made them even more curious.

They are new recruits, and they are new recruits who want to participate in the trial. They instinctively want to crush and beat up all abnormalities.

However, since being teleported here by their father, two full hours have passed, and they have not been able to confront the anomaly.

Had they headed straight to the jungle of a prehistoric planet, they'd probably have finished skinning and grilling by now.

After all, young, itchy hands.

Boom...boom...

At this moment, at the end of the ship cemetery, there seemed to be a faint explosion.

? ? ! !

Hearing this movement, Sui Yang and Sui Yue suddenly regained their spirits, and even their eyes burst into a bright light.

When there is an explosion, it means there is a battle!

Walk!

it is good!

The twin brothers who finished the short conversation immediately started to run towards the source of the sound.

Without the strength and speed increase provided by the power armor, the two still reached a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, or even faster.

Phew~———————!

And the running of the two of them caused a burst of dust behind them.

Fortunately, in order to avoid premature exposure as much as possible, Sui Yang and Sui Yue chose to slow down at a location about two kilometers away from the sound source.

Boom! Boom!

Boom...! Boom...!

At this point, explosions and gunshots began to become clearly audible.

But for the two brothers, there is almost no change, because they have already distinguished the movement mixed with explosions and gunshots while running.

There are guns of different calibers firing together.

There are also human shouts, pleas for help and screams.

and also…

The roar of some other kind of creature.

Through these, the two of them can basically deduce that the location of the sound source should be the surviving human beings who are fighting against the anomaly that caused the decline of the earth.

But they still maintained a constant speed, and it took a full four minutes to shorten the distance by two kilometers, and came to the edge of the conflict between humans and anomalies.

This seems to be the edge of a town close to the Eternal Oasis.

And there is a colony ship that was supposed to take off and try to enter low earth orbit, but crashed on the edge of the town for unknown reasons.

The place where the conflict broke out came from the stern of the colonial ship.

up to this point.

Sui Yang and Sui Yue slowed down their pace like ordinary people, heightened their vigilance, and first came to a sloping low building opposite the stern of the ship.

The sixth floor rooftop.

Good visibility.

Here they finally saw living fellow human beings!

There are more than a hundred people on the other side, and they can be temporarily divided into soldiers and porters by wearing standard clothing and holding weapons, as well as simple and messy attire.

While all the soldiers were struggling to pull the triggers of live ammunition firearms, the cover porters hurriedly sent the supplies they searched from the colonial ship to the waiting transport convoy.

not only that.

They found that among the weapons and equipment used by the soldiers, there were several fully-wrapped heavy mechanical skeletons.

It's not called Power Armor, it's judging workmanship and energy supply, it's far from meeting the standards of their human empire.

As for the enemy that makes these compatriots nervous and fearful, it has a snake's head and a slender torso, but its six limbs are similar to human palms. .

And these snake dogs, whose numbers are constantly increasing, will retract their heads like turtles when defending and moving, so as to reduce the damage as much as possible.

The most important thing is that the snake dog's moving speed and attack range are very threatening, and ordinary caliber weapons have little effect on it.

Only those heavy mechanical skeletons equipped with gun-caliber machine guns and controlled by soldiers can effectively attack the snake dogs.

Boom!

At this time, another violent explosion occurred at the stern of the ship.

A man and a woman rushed out of the gunpowder smoke and ran towards the transport team, and behind the two, there were several snake dogs chasing after them.

The male is tall and mighty, with a height of more than 1.9 meters and extremely strong muscles, while the female has rare white hair, and her back is vigorous.

Seeing that this man and a woman are about to be surrounded by snakes and dogs...

Wow! Wow! Wow! The unique crisp and sweet sound of the bolt guns echoed throughout the area.

Puff! Puff!

Along with the firing of the bolt gun, there was the sound of the group of snake dogs chasing the man and the woman, each of which was smashed to pieces by conventional (diamond) bolt bullets.

Some of the snake dogs' bodies exploded, and at the same time that the meat shards and chunks splashed out, they also exposed shuttle-shaped crystal blocks that shone with faint blue light.

? !

However, the man and the woman didn't have the mind and energy to pay attention to the Crystal Block at the moment.

And the man keenly judged the source of the gunshots from the gunshots and the snake dog's state when it died, which was the low building opposite.

The moment he cast his eyes on the low building, the man happened to see Sui Yang stepping down the platform.
