From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 257 Terraela Dawn Moon Flower Sea "Instructor Valentine, walk slowly!" (two-in-one)

Universe Zero 7 - Terraira.

The outskirts of the imperial capital.

At noon in the northern plains of Terraira, the sky is clear and the sunshine in March is warm and pleasant.

On the edge of the dense forest on the outskirts, a sea of ​​colorful flowers bloomed, and a large number of local creatures swam among them.

There is an insect that looks like an ordinary bee, but is the size of a falcon, collecting nectar and pollen.

"Haha~"

"Wow~"

There are also "female" goblins who wear loose clothes and have transparent butterfly wings on their backs, chasing and playing.

The appearance of goblins is basically the same as that of humans, but their body size is not even as good as those of bees.

I saw a tall, well-proportioned female elf wearing a white gauze dress and a golden olive branch on her head pushed open the wooden door and walked slowly into the office.

The royal capital is still so classical and solemn, with towering walls protecting the people living inside.

Although Dorn is not as good as his brother Guilliman in terms of governance ability, he is still superior to mortal politicians.

Then, he looked at the female elf who walked to the solid wood table and asked:
"What's wrong, Aoyi, is there something that cannot be reported according to the procedure and requires you to come to my office in person?"

Especially among the pedestrians, there are humans, dwarves and elves.

Towering giant buildings stand in the bustling streets of the capital.

The bright silver paint, the red cloak hanging behind them, and the faint red light emitted by the helmet monitor make the imperial soldiers stationed in the capital look like "villains".

It won't be long before we have the first Terran Astartes, so this is something worth reporting face to face. "

"I'm used to it." Dawn smiled.

Very modern apartment buildings, large shopping malls, as well as old-fashioned houses, hotels and pubs make the capital look "nondescript".

The smooth and clean roads extending in all directions connect towns and villages located in the suburbs, as well as cities that are hundreds or thousands of miles away that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Hearing this, Dorn nodded lightly.

What's more, he and Vulkan are the two heirs who have been with their father for the longest time. They even fought side by side with their father, so they naturally learned a lot.

And located in the core area of ​​the capital is the Imperial Palace, which can be described as magnificent.

If you go through the automatic checkpoint equipped with scanners with a maglev truck carrying enchanted weapons and armor, drive through the city gate and arrive inside the royal capital, you will see——

But the military fortifications used for defense are not those "old-fashioned" magic arrow towers and turrets. Instead, they are close-range defense cannons with red and white "Λ" logos printed on them, and large-caliber plasma cannons.

The female elf glanced at the hinge at the source of the sound and complained in a cold voice:
"Mr. Governor, why don't you replace the biometric sensor door? It will avoid annoying noise and save me from having to knock and push the door every time."

"Um"

As for the imperial soldiers standing on the city walls and at the left and right of the city gates, responsible for patrolling, although they all looked like heavy-armored knights, they were holding Gauss firearms produced by Atlas.

At this moment, in the governor's office in the palace;

?

After spending time with his father for a long time, he was more or less influenced by it, and he prefers some more traditional items.

squeak - ah -

"Dong-dong."

And looking ahead from their perspective, they saw an imperial capital comparable in size to New Accra.

At this time, when someone knocked on the solid wood door of the office, Dorn raised his hand to dissipate the holographic screen and said:

Signs, advertisements and traffic lights put up using holographic technology, as well as pedestrians wearing "medieval" costumes, give visitors who come here for the first time a strong sense of isolation.

"really."

Towers that can generate magic barriers are also located behind the city wall every kilometer.

A race of demi-humans with cat ears, cat tails, or dog heads and bodies also live in the capital.

However, the residents showed no fear at all and continued to accept inspections by the soldiers while entering or leaving the royal capital, talking and laughing.

Today, he is no longer the handsome young man he was before, but a primarch with short white hair, a resolute face, and an extremely strong physique.

At this time, two fairies flew across the sea of ​​flowers and came to the vast grassland.

"Nothing special." The female elf named Aoi's eyes flickered, but her expression remained indifferent as she said:
“I just want to tell you that the Astartes adaptors have deployed the ruins base, and Director Angela Ziegler Cage of the Biological Department is responsible for the follow-up arrangements.

Under his management, Terraira gradually developed into an absolute "major town" that can provide stable resources and troops after Earth Zero One (Edge of Tomorrow).

But the local people in Terraira have long adapted to the transition period and fully accept this environment where "advanced" and "traditional" coexist.

If you look carefully, you can also find that the armor of the imperial soldiers is actually a fully covered mechanical skeleton.

Dorn, wearing an Atlas uniform, was sitting behind his desk, staring at the private emails on the desktop.

When the old wooden door was opened, it made a slight screeching sound due to the friction of the hinges.

"Please come in."

Although the student group, the Fist of Humanity, created from his genetic seeds, has reached the size of a thousand people, in the final analysis, those more than a thousand young people are the native residents of the "Doom" universe.

At the same time, his brother Leon was responsible for the gene seed implantation surgeries of all adaptors, as well as the military training before and after the surgeries.

Therefore, Dorn has no emotion at all towards the human fists that are physically his "sons".

It is even said that after the establishment of the Human Fist, Dorn only met those children once.

Immediately afterwards, the Human Fist was dragged to the "Avatar" universe by Horus to carry out a large-scale integration operation.

Later, because the "Halo" universe required the company to invest a lot of manpower and material resources, seven student groups, including the Human Fist, were deployed to the core base of Shield World 0459.

Fortunately, the company has announced the recruitment conditions for the second batch of young Astartes to jurisdictions other than the main universe and the "Halo" universe.

So Dorn asked Aoi, who had experienced fighting against the followers of the evil god and adventuring in the tomb with him, and was considered a best friend, and was also very thoughtful, to be responsible for the selection.

Of course, the selection of adapters is limited to human teenagers around the age of fourteen, and no matter how outstanding the young elves or dwarves are, they cannot become Astartes.

After all, only human adapters can carry out normal and safe physiological transformations with gene seeds.

A little silence.

Seeing that Dorn didn't reply, Aoi took the initiative and said, "Dorn, the sea of ​​dawn flowers in my hometown is about to bloom."

And this time, Aoi did not call Dorne "Lord Governor".

Although his tone was still indifferent, it sounded more like a personal topic.

"What, you want to invite me to watch?" Dorn replied.

"Yes." Aoi did not deny it. "Sister." Brother Luo stood up helplessly. His huge body was enough to cover the entire floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

Then he lowered his head and looked down at Aoyi, who was two meters shorter than him, and said with a smile:
"The way you invite people is like reporting on official business. It's very demotivating."

"Uh" Aoi didn't know what to do and looked away.

"Forget it, I'm used to your personality." Dorn waved his hand and walked out of the office.

"You agree?" Aoi hurriedly followed, with undisguised expectation in his tone, and explained:
"The sea of ​​dawn flowers will bloom at the moment of the full moon. It is a scenery unique to us in Lothrian. Only foreigners recognized by us will be invited to go."

Coming to the corridor outside the office, Donn said:
"I don't understand the language of flowers, but the sea of ​​flowers blooming under the moonlight... well, it's quite attractive.

It's a pity that I can't go. "

At the end of the sentence, Donne deliberately shook his head and sighed.

?

This made Aoi feel disappointed, but she did not show it. Instead, she asked:
"Does Universe 08 (Halo) need the Governor's support?"

"No, it's Lingjiu's side." Dorn said bluntly:
"Aoyi, mobilize five knights from the royal capital and an elf night owl commando team, and rush to the ruins base immediately.

Father ordered us to deploy to the frontline base of Universe 09 within five days. It seems that the 09 branch needs us to intervene in the dispute forcefully. If necessary, we may directly adopt forced integration. "

"Is this an order from His Majesty the Human Emperor?"

"Yes."

After receiving Dorn's affirmative reply, Aoi tilted his head slightly and recalled the information files about "Cyberpunk: 2077".

Then she looked serious and no longer considered personal issues:

"I understand."

After saying that, Aoyi quickened his pace and disappeared into the corridor almost silently.

Dorn, on the other hand, continued to move forward, preparing to rush to the throne room to discuss recent projects that required him to personally handle with the officials and generals who cooperated with him in managing Terraira.

The dwarf Thorjan, who had adventured with him and Vulkan, and the human veteran Pietro Bomir all joined the new Human Empire founded by Atlas after the war.

So Dorn wanted to hold a meeting with his confidants, quickly resolve the matters at hand, and then go directly to the "Cyberpunk" universe.

at the same time.

"Cyberpunk: 2077" universe, the Westbrook neighborhood of Night City, the middle-floor training room of the Atlas branch building;

Rou~! Uh-huh!

When the fist was waved rapidly, the roaring sound echoed in the huge training room.

Bang!Bang!
And the dull sound of the boxer hitting the body also resounded in this training area.

More than thirty teenagers wearing black training uniforms were seen sitting cross-legged on the soft plastic floor, watching the one-on-one duel between their classmates and their instructors.

The instructor is Jill Valentine, who has short hair.

The elite investigator's lower body was also wearing black loose training trousers, but his upper body was wearing a white sports bra and a blue sleeveless vest.

On the other hand, the student who had a simulated fight with her was David Martinez, who replaced the nose of an airplane with a board.

"what!!"

At this moment, David, who was standing on Jill's right side, threw a straight punch at Jill's ribs.

Rou——!
The fist wind howled.

If this punch were received forcefully, an ordinary person would definitely suffer broken ribs and damage to the heart and lungs.

However, the genetically enhanced Gil easily dodged the direct punch and flipped his head back to get behind David.

Then, Jill quickly stretched out her left arm, strangled David's neck, and then held the inside of her right forearm with her left hand, directly completing the standing naked choke.

"Forehead!"

The locked David couldn't breathe, but he still struggled desperately, and even tried to break the naked choke by cracking his fingers and turning around with brute force.

It's a pity that David is a rookie after all, so Jill, who saw through his intention, dragged him to the ground, and then let Jill's legs clamp his waist, completely fixing the naked choke position and making it impossible to break.

Lasted for a while.

Bang!Bang!
David, whose face was red from suppressing the pain, couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to free his right hand and slap the ground hard, actively admitting defeat.

Seeing this, Gil released his legs and hands, then stood up and said:
"Everyone remember that in close combat, do not expose your back to your opponent under any circumstances, and do not take the initiative to attack unless you are sure of victory."

As he spoke, Jill turned to look at David, who kept coughing, and continued to explain:

"Martinez is a typical negative example, so please keep this in mind."

"jingle!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the training room sounded like a school bell.

Gil turned and looked out the window. Seeing that it was getting late, he warned David and the teenagers who had already recovered:
"Today's class is over. When you go home, go over the key points of knowledge. Okay, let's all dismiss."

After saying that, Jill turned and walked towards the biometric sensor door of the training room.

"Instructor Valentine, walk slowly!"

David and all the students also responded in unison.

"Don't forget to collect today's salary and food."

Gil waved his hand behind his back, then walked through the open sensor door and left the training room.

Afterwards, all the students packed up their belongings, some went to the shower room, and some went directly to the restaurant, ready to eat as much as they wanted.

David, on the other hand, sat on the bench to rest and listened to his classmates saying things like "I don't know if Instructor Valentine has a boyfriend" and "Even if he doesn't have a boyfriend, Instructor Valentine can't be with you!" Small talk.

He and the teenagers around him were all "intern security guards" in the same period.

However, after participating in the training every Saturday and Sunday, he discovered that Atlas said it was teaching, but in fact it was like building a school.
And it is a school hundreds or a thousand times stronger than Arasaka Academy.

At least here he won't be squeezed or bullied for no reason.

The instructors treated everyone equally and were impartial, which made David's desire to quit Arasaka Academy even stronger.

It didn't take long.

In the already empty training room, he was left sitting alone on the bench.

Then, David shook his head helplessly and put the idea of ​​dropping out of school behind him.

I picked up my travel bag, walked out of the training room, and was about to take the elevator when I heard:
"Hey, boy, do you have time to chat?"
