From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 87 "Future City" (4000)

"you!"

The motherland man walked towards the motionless soldier boy, his eyes shining brighter and brighter in the dim space.

"If I kill you, I can become a real hero!"

Ri~——咻——! !

The moment the words fell, the interior of the warehouse was suddenly lit up with red light.

Two high-power laser beams were emitted from the eyes of the motherland, directly hitting the soldier boy's face.

boom! !

A powerful impact erupted, and the dazzling red light engulfed the soldier boy's head.

On the other hand, the man from the motherland continued to increase the power of the laser and moved forward slowly. The corners of his mouth were also raised, convinced that he had gained an absolute advantage.

trap?

The people of the motherland now have the confidence to solve all problems. No matter who they are, he can easily kill them!
  "Ta~Dang...Dang..."

However, at this moment, the soldier boy pulled off the ring and safety of a slightly larger grenade, threw it beside him, and rolled down to his feet.

Grenade?

ridiculous.

boom! !

A low-intensity explosion erupted at the feet of the people of the motherland.

? !
  But this low-intensity explosion directly interrupted the laser attack of the motherland, and even shocked the motherland to stagger and almost fall.

This…

This is impossible? !

His childhood was closely linked to abuse and torture. Walt used all means of attack to test him, but he survived.

But it was obviously just a grenade! Why would it hurt him? !

The people of the motherland were shocked.

He turned to look at the soldier boy, only to find that the first-generation "star" product launched by Walter International was still standing there, expressionless and still.

However, the soldier boy's head was hot and red due to the high-temperature laser. It seemed that the defense was close to the limit. As long as he worked harder, he could complete the breakthrough.

But why was it repelled by a grenade?

And why is the soldier boy's state tending towards...dementia and stupidity?
  Huh~huh-!

Before figuring out these problems, the people of the motherland noticed a gust of air coming from behind.

?

Turning around, I saw an "angel" waving a pair of white wings, descending not far away from the gap above.

Having wings is not unusual in the eyes of superhumans, but what caused a visual impact to the people of the motherland was that the opponent's height was actually close to two meters.

In addition, the opponent's appearance is extremely handsome, and his body proportions are approaching perfection. He wears special protective clothing and armor that are mainly black, which forms a sharp contrast with the white wings.

The most puzzling thing for the people of the motherland is that when he saw the other party, he also felt a trace of... calmness?
  "Hey! Are you..."

Swish-!

Just as the motherland was about to ask something, the silent "angel" launched a swift offensive and turned into a white afterimage to attack him.

! !
  The speed was so fast that the people of the motherland almost couldn't react... No, it should be that his speed has slowed down!
  He barely dodged Angel's right straight punch, but Angel's left swing fist had already reached the motherland's right cheek.

Bang! !

After receiving a heavy punch, the body of the motherland was no longer controlled and was sent flying. Finally, it collided with a pile of metal scraps and finally stopped.

"Forehead…"

The motherland man lying in the scrap pile was ringing in the ears, blood was flowing from his left nostril, and the world was spinning in front of his eyes.

Very confused and in pain.

The motherland man struggled to climb out, and at the same time he realized that it was the grenade just now, which greatly weakened his superpowers.

Then he can be killed at this time!

And that angel has obviously been professionally trained, and he can't compete with him in physical combat, let alone a soldier boy with a brain that is "down".

Should we continue to fight?

Or run for your life?

After forcing himself to regain consciousness, the motherland people saw the angel kicking his legs on the ground again and rushing towards the scrap pile.

!

The motherland man quickly turned to his left, and the moment he dodged the attack, his eyes flashed red.

Phew~——!
  Two low-power but extremely fast laser attacks went straight to the right side of the angel's body.

Buzz~——Boom——!
  But a looming barrier helped the angel offset the two laser attacks, which also caused a low-intensity explosion between the two sides.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the motherland quickly escaped from the scrap pile, successfully distanced itself sufficiently from the opponent, and levitated into the air again.

Using clairvoyance to see through the smoke and dust, he saw that the angel was also affected by the laser and the explosion and was "bounced" several meters away.

His Cyclops works!
  Then he only needs to keep the distance and continue to use high-power lasers, and he still has a very high chance of winning.

The people of the motherland firmly believe that no one can match his speed and agility in the air.

call!
  Just as the people of the motherland were about to take practical action, the angel flapped his wings violently, and when the thick smoke and dust dissipated, he took off the telescopic spear hanging on his side.

Zheng!
  With a flick of his right hand, he threw out the tip and tail of the spear that shone with cold light, and quickly stabbed at the location of the motherland.

! !
  Seeing this, the people of the motherland immediately evaded.

But the next angel did not fly over his head as the motherland expected. Instead, he quickly adjusted his posture and attacked him again with his spear.

Rou—— Rou!

The roar of the sharp blade cutting through the air echoed in this spacious warehouse.

The motherland man above the warehouse struggled to dodge, only to see that his left cheek and left forearm were cut by sharp blades, leaving several wounds.

"no no…"

He was extremely panicked now.

He had no chance to distance himself, and he had no advantage in close combat. In addition, with the initial grenade, he lost the absolute defense he relied on most.

If he is stabbed through the chest by that spear, he will die...

Really will die!

escape!
  The desire to survive took over, and the people of the motherland completely lost the courage to fight against the angels. They raised their heads and accelerated upward.

What's more important than pleasing Madeleine or becoming a "real" superhero? !
  But at the moment when he raised his head, the angel seized the fatal gap and stabbed the left waist of the motherland with all his strength.

"Bah!"

The body was pierced by the tip of a spear, and blood spread out along the gap.

"Uh... no..."

After being hit by this blow, the people of the motherland seemed to be discouraged and could no longer use their strength, and their whole bodies became limp. The angel raised his left foot and kicked the motherland man in the belly.

Bang!
  While the angel kicked the man back to the ground, he also pulled the war spear away from the opponent's body, shook off the blood stains, then contracted the spear tip and handle, and placed the war spear on the magnetic adsorber on his side.

When the angel's feet touched the ground and looked at the people of the motherland who collapsed aside...

"Don't...don't kill me...please...!"

The "superhero" had long lost his majestic side, and instead cried bitterly and begged for his life.

Seeing this scene, the angel, or rather Sanguinius, couldn't help but frown slightly.

After receiving psychic training for six months, he was able to release psychic barriers and sense emotional fluctuations around him.

The information given by the sensory feedback to Sanguinius is that the people of the motherland are indeed scared to death, but they are slightly different from the fear of normal people.

"."

Sanguinius sighed silently.

He walked to the side of his motherland, looked at the other person with tears streaming down his face, and said, "I'm sorry I can't satisfy your request, but my father once said that if you grow up in a relatively normal environment, you may He will be a hero who yearns for justice and pursues peace.

Unfortunately, reality does not exist, but I can guarantee that you will die painlessly. "

"Normal environment...?"

The first thing that comes to my mind is "The Simpsons" which he likes to watch recently.

He couldn't understand Homo's behavior, but he longed for a father like this and a mother as tolerant as Maggie.

The last scene the people of the motherland saw was Sanguinius half-crouching beside him and slashing his neck with his sword. Then darkness fell and everything became extremely quiet.

At this moment, Sanguinius used the headset to report: "This is Sanguinius. The mission has been completed within the time limit. The scene can be cleared and the target's body can be removed."

"This is Hunter 001, got it."

Hearing the answer from the communication, Sanguinius stood up again. Looking at the people of his motherland who had lost their breath due to severe damage to the back of their heads, he couldn't help but sigh secretly.

He learned from his father and Dr. Ashford (Alexia) that the people of the motherland were "experimental subjects" born through unnatural pregnancy. They had lived in a never-ending research institute since childhood and suffered torture.

And although he and his brothers could not be considered as normal human beings, without a father...

Sanguinius wasn't sure what would happen to them as adults, but he was certain that his and his brothers' personalities would become more extreme.

Not long after, several hunters with optical camouflage turned on arrived at the warehouse and transferred the bodies of the motherland into black sealed bags.

After completing the encapsulation, Sanguinius and the Soldier Boy, who had ended their standby state, left the warehouse with the hunters.

Come outside.

The setting sun reflected the sea, but the "sea breeze" in front of the warehouse seemed a bit strong and a bit "cool".

In fact, a medium-sized transport boat that also maintained stealth mode was parked in the open space in front of the warehouse.

As for the "cool sea breeze", it is a by-product of the rapid cooling and cooling of the engine's heat dissipation system.

This transport boat with a rotary wing structure is a next-generation troop transport aircraft that Atlas started researching as early as 1994, code-named "Silver Gull".

Equipped with two nuclear fusion engines, it has the ability to enter orbit alone. However, in a vacuum environment, it can only maintain a flight status of 60 minutes.

Only two prototypes have been produced for testing, one of which was delivered to the Hunter Company, the Herring Gull.

After confirming that Sanguinius and his party had completed boarding, the pilot closed the doors on both sides of the cabin and controlled the Herring Gull to lift off vertically and disappear into the darkening sky.

boom--!
  The warehouse where Sanguinius and the Motherlanders fought was engulfed in flames from the explosion.

Such movement can be clearly seen even from the other shore several kilometers away. However, if the police and fire departments want to quickly land on the island, they need to dispatch helicopters and ferry boats.

at the same time.

It’s late at night in Ghana, located in the southern hemisphere.

As the capital of Ghana, Accra looks completely new compared to what it was in 1993.

High-rise office buildings and apartments stand in the city center, and the absolute landmark building here is the Atlas branch building, which is more than 500 meters tall.

Outside the city center, there are commercial streets filled with large shopping malls, bars and various consumer venues.

Further outside, there is the main body of the city where residents live, study, and work, with buildings, blocks, and streets arranged in a regular manner.

Most of the buildings in the coastal area are resort hotels. Together with the surrounding tropical plants such as coconut trees and palm trees, as well as the golden beaches and clear ocean, it has become a veritable resort.

Through the Internet, people all over the world can understand the drastic changes in Accra more intuitively.

Accra has attracted a huge influx of tourists over the past year as a result of an overall improvement in the security environment thanks to Atlas' investment and intervention.

Even late at night, the city is still busy with traffic.

If you are at a crossroads, you can see signal lights and signs, navigation maps of bus stops, and even holographic projection technology between buildings.

Sometimes the aerial rail train located above will pass directly through the holographic advertisement. At first glance, Accra has a sense of "future city".

And this moment.

Atlas City Center Hospital.

Inpatient department, 28th floor, in a single room with a window facing south;
  "Boss, why are you here suddenly...?" A slightly weak voice echoed.

The speaker was an old man lying on a hospital bed, and the old man's pale hair could vaguely be seen as having a "Mediterranean" structure.

As for the visitor sitting next to the bed, it was Sui Yang, the founder of Atlas, dressed in casual business attire.

After hearing the old man's questioning words, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "I would like to ask you, old friend, why do you have to come to Accra for treatment?"

"This place is more beautiful than other places." The old man also smiled, turned to look at the night view of the city outside the window, and sighed: "Only here can we truly realize that the world is developing in the way we all expect... It’s really fascinating.”

"."

Hearing this, Sui Yang gradually stopped smiling.

After a long silence, he said: "Zhaofeng, you have reached the age of retirement a long time ago. Stop trying to be brave and have a good rest in the future. Your students will be responsible for projects such as Ark technology and nanorobots. They are no younger than you." Time difference."

"It's better to learn from someone who is better than someone who doesn't. It's because I've always been worried about them working alone, but it's really hard to refuse." The old man turned his head and saw that Sui Yang's expression was slightly solemn, so he said calmly:
  "Boss, everyone counts their years. The dead are never old. I may be an old antique. I prefer to accept death as it takes its course, rather than resorting to the method of transmitting consciousness to extend my life."

Speaking of the old man here, he deliberately raised his voice to argue: "I was too absorbed in reading at home not long ago, and it was just malnutrition caused by not eating well. Besides, I am only sixty-seven, so I am not old!"

"Compared to me, you are indeed not old." Sui Yang shook his head helplessly, then stood up and left the escort seat, saying:

"Okay, old friend, I respect your choice, but after you are discharged from the hospital, you must go to the biology department to make a copy of your consciousness and memory. When the world becomes what we expect, I hope "you" will still Have a chance to see it with your own eyes. "

　Everyone, the timeline of this book will be "long".

　　The pace will also be slowed down as much as possible.

　　The opening cycle of the space gate is 414 days, and the first few worlds are all "very useful" worlds.

　　But later there will be a "less useful" world, so the author may pass through a few strokes, or use other techniques to show that the space door has been opened in a certain period of time, etc.

　　(You can review some movies and games in this chapter, hahaha~)

　　At the same time, plots such as what changes have taken place in the main universe under the guidance of Atlas and the protagonist will also be interspersed.

　　Atlas currently focuses on the development of the main universe and universes Zero-1 and Zero-3.

　　In order to ensure the safety of all bases and successfully carry out large-scale construction campaigns, Motherland and Vought must be resolved.

　　And the threat to the main universe is not only Walter, after all, the colonies of the moon and Mars have not yet been developed.
