Human Light Umbrella

Of course, it is also possible that Sanguinius is still a child at heart and wants to swim in the sky to his heart's content.

...

afternoon after a day.

Surface airfield at Göbekli Research Center.

Leads to a hangar next to the underground facility.

Chris, who was wearing a sand-colored combat uniform, took a simple folding chair and sat by the north door of the hangar.

Yesterday, Sui Bian held a video conference with the company's top management, and Chris, the deputy captain of the Charon task force, also participated in it.

After that, the Charon task force was called to the Göbekli Research Center, and Chris was required to stand by on the surface except for rest.

Sui Bian didn't tell the reason, but Chris didn't like to be too imaginative like Leon, but stayed here according to the order.

?

Chris, who had nothing to do, squinted his eyes and looked at the northern sky. He always felt that there was a vague silhouette there, which was rapidly approaching the airport.

Aircraft with optical camouflage on?

But it looks much smaller than Yugull.

While thinking about it, the outline gradually became clear, it was a short shuttle-shaped aircraft.

When the aircraft reached the sky above the airport, it took the initiative to release the optical camouflage effect.

Under the afternoon sun in the Middle East, the outer wall of the aircraft reflected a dazzling silver light. The style was quite different from that of Umbrella's vehicle, and it did not look like a product made by humans.

? !

Seeing this, Chris got up immediately, put his right hand on the holster at his waist, and looked wary of the aircraft that landed not far in front of him.

With two sounds of "Qi~!", the aircraft opened the hatches on the left and right sides.

When the familiar and distant figure appeared in the field of vision, Chris relaxed a little.

It turned out that the one who stepped out of the aircraft was a Celtic who was quite tall and wearing a "丿乀" engraved mask.

The one who got off the aircraft with Celtic was another Predator who was smaller than Celtic but whose mask was engraved with unknown symbols.

Chapter 156 Locust-Like Civilization

"Friend...come...help."

Celtic, who approached Chris, did not use the translator that came with the mask, but said the above words with his own voice.

"Help?" Chris was taken aback.

But combined with the meeting held yesterday, Chris instantly understood the intention expressed by Celtic.

At this time, Celtic looked back and was still standing beside the aircraft, and observed the thin iron blood around him, then continued using the masked translator:

"My mentor and I will help you stay away from plunder. You can walk with us and leave as soon as possible."

"Leave..." Chris frowned.

Although it was a little hard to hear, Chris understood.

"Thank you, but..." Then I was about to say something.

"Captain Redfield." He was interrupted by the armed security guards who rushed over.

"Roar…"

Seeing a team of security guards wearing mechanical skeletons and fully armed, Celtic instinctively let out a vigilant growl, ready to deploy the double-edged wrist knife in his right hand at any time.

On the contrary, Iron Blood, whom Celtic calls a mentor, has remained calm, not as impetuous as Celtic.

Eight security guards came behind Chris, and the first one said to Chris in a deep voice: "The higher ups need more information."

"Okay, I see." Chris collected his thoughts, looked at Celtic who was not far in front of him, and suggested:

"Big guy, you talk about plundering when you come up, and you talk about leaving. It's really a bit messy. Why don't we have a good talk?"

"Ga...ga..." Celtic looked at his mentor and communicated in their iron-blooded language.

"Gah."

The elder Tie Xue replied briefly, as if he was saying "your own business, you can handle it yourself", without wanting to get involved too much.

"..." Celtic, who was wearing a mask, stared at Chris and remained silent for a few seconds before reusing the translator and saying:

"Yes, you are mine, friend."

"Then come with me." Chris said.

Next.

The elder Sangvis controlled the wrist computer, sealed the hatches on both sides of the shuttle-shaped spacecraft, and then Celtic, who had a relationship with his apprentice, followed Chris and others to leave here.

10 minute later.

basement one.

A large conference room.

Celtic and Lone Wolf didn't choose to sit down, but stood at the front of the conference room. After all, the human chairs were really narrow for them.

In view of the close relationship between Chris and Celtic, Chris acted as a diplomatic person to negotiate with the two Sangvis.

Through the headset worn in his left ear, Chris can convey the company's senior management's questions.

"You think, know, what." Celtic said first.

"First of all, why did you take me away? Could it be that we humans are about to face some disaster?" Chris asked.

"Yes." Celtic did not deny it: "You humans have been targeted by an unreasonable... locust.

(Kelt points to the scar on Chris' left cheekbone)

And you once saved my life and gained the approval of the elders, so I took you away. I also hope to fight side by side with you again. "

"Thank you for your kindness. To be honest, I also hope to fight side by side with you." Chris said gratefully.

The tough guy didn't expect that he would be regarded as a true friend by the other party after only a brief escape cooperation, and Chris was a little flattered.

However, Chris quickly restrained his emotions and asked the key point: "Locusts? What are they?"

"They devour, they...uh..., in short, they plunder!" Celtic expressed unclearly, and his emotions gradually became irritable.

"They're called predators." Seeing that Celtic couldn't speak fluently, the old iron blood who had been silent all the time explained to Chris smoothly:

"We know that you call your home planet the Earth, but the Earth is just a hunting planet for us to try out for our teenagers. There are 36 hunting planets belonging to our family alone, including your mother planet. star.

And the predators...

Even the elders of my clan don't understand their origin.

They are very different from our race and from you humans.

They use their own bodies to sail between the stars, devour and plunder any planets with living creatures, and cannot communicate, let alone negotiate. "

heard.

Chris has a serious face.

Originally thought that the incoming alien force was the kind in sci-fi movies or comics, who looked similar to human beings, just like the two iron-blooded people in front of them.

It is completely unimaginable for Chris to be able to navigate the universe with flesh and blood.

At this time, the reminder from the earphone made Chris stop thinking, and looked at the old iron-blooded man and asked:

"If you encounter predators, do you have the ability to resist or wipe them all out?"

"In the past, my family had a large number of people, and I regarded the hunting planet as my family's territory, and would destroy any enemy who dared to invade, until a hunting planet was targeted by the predators."

The elder Iron Blood paused, and continued:

"At the beginning, our family only paid a small price and easily wiped out the predator fleet that was trying to invade, but later, it was discovered that it was just one of them.

Calculated according to your human time unit, within 300 years after our clan destroyed that fleet, war broke out between our clan and other clans.

In the midst of the quagmire of war, an almost endless fleet of predators arrived at the hunting planet once again.

The elders of my clan judged that they were inexhaustible, so they were forced to abandon the hunting planet. At the same time, due to the war and the sharp decrease in the number of people, they no longer regarded the hunting planet as their territory. "

Speaking of it.

The elder iron blood changed the subject of Chris: "Because you are a human being, the patriarch of our clan has changed his view of human beings, but unfortunately, your home planet has been targeted by predators.

Even if our family wiped out a fleet of predators again, after a hundred years, your home planet still cannot escape the fate of being swallowed, assimilated and plundered.

Moreover, the small price our family paid at the beginning is an unbearable loss for our family now.

Providing you with information about the predators is the last assistance my race provides to you humans, and you humans can only rely on you humans for the rest. "

"Friend, let's go." Celtic echoed.

"Thank you, but this is my hometown." Chris immediately refused.

Seeing this, Celtic stopped persuading, after all, custom made Celtic fully understand Chris's decision.

Thinking in their shoes, Celtic would also make a corresponding decision, so he felt ashamed of Chris's suggestion to escape.

If, on the other hand, it was Chris who proposed to Celtic to escape, Celtic might not be able to bear the temper and beat Chris violently.

It's just that he couldn't repay the life-saving grace, which made the already irritable Celtic fall into an extremely unhappy state.

and many more…

"My friend, I will fight side by side with you again!" Celtic suddenly excited for some reason.

at the same time.

[Detected Chris Redfield's "good luck" activation.

Affected by "good luck", Celtic, who has long regarded Chris as a close friend, believes that fighting side by side with a close friend in the face of certain death is a supreme honor that cannot be refused. 】

Chapter 157 The Lone Wolf, Fleet, and Glory

The same as the basement floor.

A small conference room.

Here only Sui Bian was sitting at one end of the long table, with his elbows resting on the table, fingers crossed, looking at the small holographic screen in front of him.

He also heard the system's words, but there were no waves.

It is expected.

Celtic has a bad temper and is conceited, but he is straightforward, and when he meets Chris, who is an anomaly in human beings, he will naturally stay and help Chris.

And he got a lot of useful information from what the old iron blood said.

Among them, according to the description of the predators by the elder Iron Blood, Sui Bian can determine that they belong to some kind of "Zerg" civilization.

Sailing with flesh and blood, unreasonable, unable to negotiate, swallowing and plundering, endless quantities, all of which are in line with the characteristics of the Zerg.

' is a bit tricky. ' Sui Bian commented.

If Umbrella solves this scouting fleet, Earth will have a hundred years of buffer time without being harassed by predators.

With the guidance of him and Umbrella, and giving human beings a hundred years to develop, Sui Bian believes that mere predators are definitely not a threat.

The tricky thing is, with Umbrella's current strength, can the scouting fleet be intercepted outside the earth.

The battlefield must not be placed on the earth. After all, once the opponent with the characteristics of devouring and assimilating descends on the earth, the result of human beings will still be extinct.

Finally, the attitude of the elder iron blood clearly shows that the iron blood will not provide substantial help to mankind.

However, Sui Bian had no expectations for this, so he was not disappointed.

Isn't this a surprise for Celtic?

Something is better than nothing, no loss.
