Human Light Umbrella

At the main entrance on the north side of the hall, hundreds of residents dressed in pajamas or casually dressed gathered.

"What the hell happened..."

"War? Alien race?"

"I don't know, there is no official announcement."

There was a panic scene outside the street, causing the confused residents to discuss with each other.

Two security guards armed with pistols squeezed through the crowd, and one of them, wearing a peaked cap, walked towards the terminal hanging on the right wall.

Another security guard who seemed to be the captain stepped forward, turned around and reminded the residents: "Please stay away from the main entrance! We are going to manually block the entire building!

besides!You'd better go home first, lock your doors, and wait for the situation in the metropolitan area to stabilize! "

Looking at the intensifying turmoil outside the glass door, the residents also stopped discussing and adopted the suggestion of the security captain, preparing to leave here and return home.

"Boss!"

The security guard wearing a peaked cap, just opened the interface of the blocking program, and said loudly: "A team of security officers is coming towards us!"

?

Hearing this, the security captain and the residents looked out the glass door.

Two transport boats painted black were found parked on the street in front of the door. The moment the hatch was opened, dozens of security officers poured out.

Half of them are wearing mechanical skeletons and armor, holding military-grade pulse guns, and belong to the special squad of the Public Security Department that specializes in dealing with major incidents.

"Great, with the sheriff here, the security of our building should be fine."

"Yes."

The arrival of the sheriffs, especially seeing the heavily armed special teams, has doubled the sense of security for the residents.

"Wait first." The captain signaled to the cap security guard not to execute the blocking procedure yet.

As soon as he finished speaking, the glass door opened automatically, allowing the sheriffs to walk into the hall unimpeded, and they were quickly divided into eight groups.

The six groups immediately dispersed and walked towards the upper residential area, while the remaining two groups stayed in the hall, surrounding the hundreds of residents gathered in the hall with guns.

A special team also forcibly pulled away the peaked security guard standing next to the terminal, and then pushed hard towards the crowd, causing the security guard to almost stagger and fall.

? ?

Seeing that the sheriff's attitude was very tough, the residents and the two security guards realized that something was wrong.

So the security captain asked: "Excuse me, sir, what is outside..."

But the gunshot of "Tap!" and the "Puff!" of a broken arm interrupted the security captain's questioning.

The captain showed an unbelievable expression, looked at the sheriff who was standing with a gun in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the missing left arm...

"Ah! My arm! Arm!" the security captain yelled.

"Tattoo!"

Immediately afterwards, the sheriffs surrounding the area fired threats at hundreds of residents.

!!!

"what!"

"Don't! Don't kill me!"

"Shut up!" The security officer who shot first yelled, "Anyone who doesn't want to die, hug your head and squat!"

The successive abnormal actions of the sheriffs completely frightened everyone, and their fear drove them to obey the order of the sheriff and squat down.

Being robbed, the security guard wearing a peaked cap also wisely threw his gun aside.

"Help me... save me..."

The security captain who didn't take the initiative to disarm, immediately lost his ability to move and resist. At this moment, he collapsed on the ground, moaning feebly.

And under the watchful eyes of the uncharacteristically guarded security officers, no one dared to step forward to provide assistance to the security captain.

See the situation is under control.

Another four members of the special team carried out two large equipment boxes from the flying boat that was about to leave, and then came to the hall through the glass door.

Put down the equipment box.

Open the lid.

What is in full bloom in it is the stinky "big soup".

"vomit...!"

The moment they smelled the smell, some people couldn't help vomiting.

"Everyone." A pale-skinned sheriff said with an approachable smile:

"Drink the nectar given by my lord, and you will become our companions, and you will no longer have to worry about illness and death.

Come..." As he said that, the security officer looked at the security captain who was gradually losing his mind and said:

"Help this friend out of pain."

After the words fell, the two special teams jointly lifted the security captain and walked towards the equipment box. It seemed that they wanted to feed him a strong soup with a strong taste.

"..." The people who witnessed this scene had rejection written all over their faces.

But they couldn't change anything, they could only watch as the two special teams approached the equipment box with the security captain.

However, a loud noise of "Boom!" interrupted the actions of the two special teams and made everyone present look up.

I saw a violent explosion in the area of ​​the 25th and [-]th floors.

"what-!"

Accompanied by the miserable cry, a special team performed a free fall from top to bottom.

"Crack!"

In the end, he fell heavily on the floor of the lobby on the first floor. Even with the protection of individual equipment, he still couldn't avoid being bloody and bloody.

! !

Seeing this, the pale-skinned magistrate shouted: "Warning! All police..."

"Pong—!"

But this time, before the sheriff could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the sharp sound of a large-caliber sniper rifle.

"Boom~!" The magistrate's head was also blown to pieces.

Even if he was blessed by a certain evil god in a different space, the body that lost its head, after shaking weakly, finally fell to the ground, completely motionless.

Only the dark green stinky blood remained, flowing out continuously through the wound.

Next...

"There are snipers! Be careful to avoid them!"

"The fourth team was ambushed!!"

"The fifth group lost contact!!"

The sheriff and the special teams rushed to respond, but the communication was still coming out one after another, which team suffered serious losses, or which team lost contact and the whole army was wiped out.

Moreover, there were loud gunshots in the entire apartment building, and the glare of gunfire was everywhere.

The terrified people no longer squatted with their heads in their hands, but lay on the ground with their heads in their arms, and some curled up to protect themselves as much as possible.

However, the security guard wearing a peaked cap took out a small can of biological foam from the first aid kit on his waist.

Then choose to crawl and crawl, venture to the side of the security captain who is about to be unconscious, and use the foam to help the captain deal with the bloody broken arm injury.

After doing all this well, the security guard in the peaked cap lay on the ground with his head in his arms and remained motionless.

soon.

In less than 3 minutes, the gunfire ceased, and the whole building returned to tranquility, except for the faint gunshots and explosions from outside the building.

Everyone who noticed the ceasefire slowly got up and found the bodies of the sheriff and the special team all around, as well as the two foul-smelling equipment boxes.

The peaked security guard covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and closed the lids of the two equipment boxes with his feet, allowing everyone to breathe freely.

Followed by.

More than a hundred "civilians" with gray hair and sideburns, wearing dark clothes that are easy to move, wearing simple civilian armor, and holding firearms that are also civilian versions, rushed to the lobby on the first floor one by one through the stairs and elevators.

In fact, since the establishment of UEG, the sales of firearms and armor have not been completely restricted.

However, it is necessary to provide identity documents, mental health certificates, and other documents that need to be updated regularly in order to have a chance to be eligible to legally purchase firearms.

It's just that the probability of this is very low, and among those who are eligible to purchase, soldiers retired from the UNSC account for [-]% or even more.

After all, retired soldiers can still serve as the backbone of a city or even a colony planet in times of crisis.

Like now.

The hundreds of "civilians" gathered in the lobby are all retired veterans with an average age of around 65.

After coming to the hall, the veterans replenished the guns of the dead sheriff and the special team, and searched for useful weapons and equipment along the way.

And the leader who didn't join the gun-replenishment team was Andrei, who had pulled Leon and Ida earlier, was strong and had a Russian accent.

The old major carried a shotgun on one shoulder, led a few veterans through the crowd, came to the two equipment boxes, and looked at the security officer whose head was blown off, and said disdainfully:

"Don't worry about illness and death? I'm living a good life now, and I worry about when I will live to the end! I don't worry about it! Suka is not listed!"

"Major."

A veteran wearing an old-fashioned blue beret approached André, straightening his back. Hui reported:

"The sniper team said that they found an armored convoy belonging to the Krieg 087 Regiment, which had just turned into Third Street. According to the traffic conditions on the road, it is expected to drive past our side in 5 minutes."

"Krieger, hehe, it's been a while since I've worked with those taciturn fellows."

Andre turned around with a sigh of emotion, and said in a loud voice to the hundreds of residents who were surrounded by circles:

"Neighbors! You have also seen that this is an extraordinary period, so everyone go back to their respective homes! Lock the door and stay honest. We, the veterans, will be responsible for the security work!"

After finishing speaking, Andre looked at the two security guards and said, "Medical soldier! Take that guy to the emergency room on the sixth floor for treatment!"

"Yes, Major!"

A veteran who used to be a medical soldier helped the security guard wearing a peaked cap, and helped the security captain to the elevator.

"Thank you for the help!"

"Then it's hard work for you."

"Go home, go home!"

The residents who were relieved also expressed their gratitude to Andre and the veterans, and hurriedly left the hall and returned home.

"Lieutenant." Andre ordered the veteran wearing a blue beret: "You and your subordinates stay here to ensure the safety of our family."

"Don't worry, Major." The lieutenant nodded.

"Of course I don't worry, well, the rest of you will follow me to educate the scum who dare to start a riot, what is a fucking war!"

Andre waved his hand, held the shotgun in his hand, and walked towards the street outside the glass door.

"Sir! Yes, sir!"

The veterans responded enthusiastically, and before leaving, they threw the two equipment boxes containing "big soup" outside.

After Andre led a hundred veterans out of the hall, the lieutenant walked to the terminal and continued to complete the blockade of the entire building.

Subsequently, metal gates were lowered at the various entrances and exits of the building, and even the roof where one could look up at the night sky was closed.

In fact, this apartment building is the residence of Andre and more than 150 veterans belonging to the UNSC [-]st Airborne Division.

After retiring from the military, this group of veterans followed the former chief Andre and led their families to immigrate to Arcadia.

The combat literacy and individual equipment of the sheriff and the special team are indeed completely crushing the existence of civilians, but they are in charge of corrupting this apartment building. Unlucky, they actually met Andre and a group of airborne veterans who lived here. ..

The result was completely abused.

Outside the closed apartment building, on Third Avenue.

Andre and the veterans quickly dispersed with the most classic four-member team of the Airborne Division, killing believers and sheriffs who showed abnormal behavior, and assisting normal civilians to escape.

"Oh!"
