When Nova detected the "portal", Sui Bian, who heard what the system said, did not immediately negotiate with her, but focused on dealing with the public's reaction to the incident.
Even though it was confirmed that Elizabeth City had been attacked by abnormal creatures, he still issued an order to the White Queen that "no information needs to be blocked" and asked the Red Queen to pay close attention to the UNSC's emergency mobilization.
There is no need to block it because there is no way to block it.
Star ports, beaches, and exclusive sanctuaries are all the hallmarks of Elizabeth City, which has a permanent population of tens of millions.
Immediately after the attack, nearly 50,000 photos and videos related to animal bodies were circulated on the Internet, and then the number increased exponentially.
In today's world where Internet communication is extremely fast, this means that tens of millions or even nearly 100 million netizens have "witnessed" the existence of beast bodies for the first time.
If we really want to block it, it will be an unimaginable and almost impossible to complete a huge project.
Moreover, Sui Bian secretly unified the entire human race and established the UEG and UNSC. The original intention was to allow humans to have the ability to solve anomalies other than those in alien spaces.
In the Hell's Gate incident in 2012, the Plague Doctor injected the first version of the vaccine into 112 D-class personnel involved in the incident.
After testing, it was known that the first version of the vaccine could effectively assist D-class personnel in resisting the whispers of the hell plane. After later observation, it was found that the side effects of the first version of the vaccine on humans were only mild fatigue, dizziness, etc.
Therefore, in September 2012, Umbrella began large-scale mass production of this first version of the vaccine, using various influenza outbreaks that occur every year and UEG's publicity to vaccinate humans with the first version of the vaccine.
The plague doctor has never given up research. After all, this first version of the vaccine cannot completely make humans immune to the erosion of other dimensions.
As for the various original anomalies on the earth...
Almost extinct.
After exchanging the Fire Spirit and the planetary environment modification device, Sui Bian only has 33,600 points in his hand. Excluding some necessary consumption such as psychic protection and plunder, it means that the points have only increased by more than 40,000 in ten years.
From 1998 to 2022, twenty-four years have passed.
On the surface, mankind has undergone earth-shaking changes, but secretly, most of the "wild" anomalies on the earth have either been eliminated or imprisoned in Rockford.
Anomalies that were judged to be impossible to eradicate and destroy now no longer pose a threat.
For example, the anomaly of the Nyx (second) class, numbered AP-1134, also known as "Lina Kabell".
AP-1134 is an evil spirit that likes to possess dolls.
Once a family purchases a doll possessed by AP-1134, the members of the family will encounter bad luck and eventually die tragically in various accidents.
Even if the doll is physically destroyed, AP-1134 cannot be truly eliminated. It can still possess new dolls and wait patiently for the next innocent family.
However, as a spiritual creature, AP-1134 was eliminated on the spot by a ghost agent responsible for the investigation.
Relics that are often full of anomalies are handled by an intelligence department headed by Lara Croft to prevent private archaeological organizations from being involved in unnatural events.
It can be said that all kinds of weird things on the earth will never be as "unbridled" as before.
Internal stability, the rest is external...
"Sir, the situation in Elizabeth City has stabilized." At this time, the Red Queen reported to Sui Bianhui: "However, the on-site technicians reported that the beasts and the blood of giant beasts seem to be extremely polluting to the natural environment.
Requesting more support from the technical team."
"Approval request."
"yes."
'System.' Seeing that the situation was under control, Sui Biancai asked in his heart: 'Explain the portal opened by the colonizer race.'
[According to testing, the colonist race is extremely sensitive to wormholes. Using their racial talents and unique understanding of wormholes, they can build portals similar to small wormholes.
The colonist race used this technology to begin exploring and colonizing Earth-like planets in the same universe or even different universes.
The portal located in Elizabeth City is connected to the surface of the earth in another universe.】
After hearing the systematic explanation, coupled with the appearance of the beast body and the giant beast, as well as the report just given by the Red Queen, the first thing he thought of was "Pacific Rim".
The main reason is that the colonist race is very similar to the pioneer race in "Pacific Rim". Both have mastered the technology that can open small wormholes, and the overall technology tree is also very crooked.
Then he said: 'Is there a possibility that the portal will be closed by the colonists?'
[The portal will not be closed until the mission is completed. If the host completes the killing of the leader of the colonist race responsible for invasion and assimilation, the host will have the authority to close the portal.
Once the host chooses to close the portal, the system will consider the host to have completed the task.
At that time, all surviving humans will be transferred to the universe where the host is located, and their identities, jobs, residences, money, memories, etc. will be arranged appropriately.
According to estimates, 80% of the surviving humans will be transferred to sparsely populated colonial galaxies. In the end, except for the host, humans as a whole will not feel any abnormality.】
"..."
Sui Bian, who was accustomed to receiving point rewards, had never forgotten the capabilities of the system.
But after his doubts were clarified, his mood suddenly became heavy and he asked again: "How many humans survive on the other earth?"
【830 million, and continues to decrease.】
'What was the total population before the invasion of the colonized race?'
【About 8.8 billion.】
"Red Queen." Sui Bian immediately said: "Help me contact Robert, Sanguinius and John."
"yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, the holographic device installed on the bridge emitted many blue "light spots", and then gathered together, quickly showing Robert and the others wearing the original power armor.
For an instant, the three Primarchs seemed to be standing in the center of the bridge.
"Inform your legion to prepare for war. Soon, you will pass through the portal in Elizabeth City and go to the Earth in another universe to save your compatriots in another universe. At the same time..."
Without waiting for the primarchs to voice their doubts, Sui Bian slowly left the center console. He walked up to the holographic representations of the primarchs and said in a serious tone:
"On the premise of finding and killing the enemy's leader, kill all the alien garbage for me. Remember, I said all, no one will be left behind."
"Yes, Father," the three stern-looking Primarchs promised in unison.
"Yes." Sui Bian, whose tone softened, continued: "Robert is in charge of commanding this operation. I will let the Red Queen inform you of the specific arrangements. Okay, let's prepare first."
"yes."
For Sui Bian, exterminating all colonist races on another earth does not conflict with the task of killing the leaders at all.

…
"All passengers, please note that the train is expected to arrive at Dome City No. 27 in 5 minutes. Please be ready to get off."
After hearing the standardized female voice reminder coming from the radio, most of the people sitting on both sides of the carriage were still doing their own things.
Chatting with friends, indulging in mobile games, watching TV series or social media apps, only a few people who wanted to get off the bus got up and packed up.
Look out the car window.
You can see that the train is driving quickly on a plain covered with a lot of green short grass. If you continue to look towards the front of the train, you can also see the city protected by a huge dome.
At first glance, it will give people the illusion that the train is traveling on the earth.
But the slightly reddish soil and the "small" circle of the sun hanging obliquely in the sky mean that this is the equatorial plain of Mars.
After ten years of development, Mars has grown from a total population of less than five million to nearly 40 million, and even the environment has become increasingly terrestrial.
"Citizens of UEG,"
The broadcast installed in the carriage suddenly came out with a slightly old voice, but a powerful speech:
"I am Admiral Warrens Hood of the UNSC, and it is with a heavy heart that I announce to you today the specific death toll in Elizabeth City."
?
Hear the words.
All the passengers stopped talking in unison, put down their mobile phones and various electronic devices, and even the passengers who were about to get off the bus stopped and prepared to listen carefully to the lecture of Admiral Hood.
In the station of Dome City No. 27, people also gathered in front of the holographic screens throughout the station.
The screen that was originally used to play various advertisements was now switched to the central square of Geneva, the capital of UGE.
I saw many UEG officials and UNSC generals in the square. Standing in front of the camera was Warrens Hood, who was over sixty years old and wearing a white navy uniform.
“364,542 people were killed in the attack three days ago, including police officers, doctors, retired tourists, and ignorant babies.
Regardless of their previous identities or ages, they have all lost their precious lives forever." At this point, Hood remained silent.
The station was filled with emotions of sadness and regret. Some people's eyes were red and tears could not stop pouring out.
A moment of silence.
Hood continued: "From ancient times to the present, we humans have never stopped exploring the universe until we have the ability to leave our home star and the solar system to expand our territory.
When we talk about the universe, we can't help but think of extraterrestrial intelligent races, that is, whether aliens exist or not.
Now, I can tell you clearly that alien races not only exist, they also tried to destroy Elizabeth City and brutally murdered more than 360,000 compatriots!"
The people who heard these remarks were not much surprised. They seemed to have been prepared for it, and their anger quickly spread among the crowd.
"If the two countries were at war in the past, the two sides would negotiate for their own interests and even sign a treaty to make peace, but this kind of rule does not apply to humans and them at all!
today!
On February 7, 2022, we humans will fight back! The most elite soldiers will go to their world!" Hood said impassionedly, raising his hand.
"Kill them all!"
"Revenge! Revenge!"
As soon as Hood finished speaking, the people in the station roared, all their long-suffering emotions bursting out.
Since the attack on February 4th, there has been constant debate from all walks of life, and the official has never deliberately concealed the situation in Elizabeth City. Therefore, people know the existence of the "portal", but do not understand the truth of the "another universe".
Coupled with the secret guidance of Queen Bai and UEG senior officials, people have long been prepared for the "invasion of aliens".
During this period, some people on the Internet made comments such as "We should negotiate with aliens first to find out their purpose", or "We should develop peacefully".
But the unified response from netizens to this statement is...
"Fuck peace!"
Today's official statements from the UNSC and UEG finally made netizens completely "at ease".
And Elizabeth City has attracted the attention of all mankind.
South of the city.
The shallow sea area near the portal has been enclosed, the sea water has been evacuated, and a large-scale temporary base has been erected.
Because it is shrouded in a giant shed-like facility, the outside world cannot directly peek into the real situation of the portal.
———————
…
Under a shed-like facility.
More than 10,000 elite members of the UNSC 9th Airborne Division are using the spacious passage built above the mud to approach the portal at the end of the front that emits a faint blue light.
One of them unfolded his helmet visor, and the airborne soldier with the rank of corporal followed his comrades and walked ahead.
He looked to his left.
I saw many containers marked with "ammunition" and "battery", which were continuously transported to the portal through large conveyor belts with magnetic adsorption functions.
In fact, before arriving at this base, their superiors told them that heavy weapons and equipment had been transported to the other end of the portal.
Their mission is to work with the 1st and 3rd Airborne Divisions, the 3rd and 7th Armored Divisions, and other UNSC forces to assist Umbrella and protect the engineering forces of both sides in the construction of frontline bases.
"Attention, all three rows, wear masks and check whether the air tightness of your respective equipment is good."
At this time, a reminder came from the communication.
Upon hearing the reminder, the corporal looked away from the teleporter, took off the metal mask that had been hanging on his chest, and wore it connected to his helmet.
My eyes went dark at first, and I found it difficult to breathe.
But the screen quickly lit up, allowing the corporal to regain his vision and breathe smoothly again.
Looking at the information feedback on the screen, the corporal could tell that there was no problem with his air tightness, and he and a group of comrades also arrived at the end of the passage.
The slope at the end of the passage reached the edge of a portal that looked like a pool of glowing mercury, allowing them to walk through.
The closer he got, the more nervous he became, but the corporal didn't flinch and stepped directly into the portal.
The first feeling is that of falling through the air. Once you have completely passed through the portal, the first thing you see is the dark night sky.
Immediately afterwards, the field of vision seemed to rotate 90°, and various scenes quickly passed by, and the last one stood staggering on the ground.
"move on!"
As soon as I stood firm, another reminder came.
The corporal shook his dazed head and continued to move forward. He waited until the discomfort subsided before observing his surroundings.
He discovered that a temporary base had also been built here, and the helmet screen showed that the air composition here was harmful to humans and the oxygen content was extremely low.
But the night sky without any stars in it still feels very familiar.
Walk through the base.
The corporal and his comrades could vaguely hear the sound of gunfire from time to time around the base, and saw many "soldiers" equipped with TPS and CMC power armor, and helmets styled like old gas masks.
The corporal and the others were not too surprised by this, and even knew that these silent "soldiers" were Krieg.
