Finally, the front of the car pierced the entrance to the kitchen next to the front desk, stopping the car from recklessly crashing and destroying the car.
Wait until the movement stops.
Pedestrians outside stopped to watch, while the guests who were dining in the restaurant were gasping for air with lingering fear.
Next to the collapsed gap.
The male customer who was lying on the ground slowly stood up, and at the same time he helped the female waiter up and asked her:
"Is there anything uncomfortable? Or something doesn't feel right? Tracey."
"No...it's okay..." The red-faced waiter shook his head gently.
"It's okay."
The male customer, who looked as usual, breathed a sigh of relief, looked around again, and after confirming that no one in the restaurant had been injured by the car, he finally felt relieved.
Blonde hair, parted hair, car accidents and rich women.
The combination of several major factors pointed to the true identity of this secretly happy male customer as Umbrella's former legendary intelligence agent, Leon S. Kennedy.
The reason why it is called once is not because he was "fired and fired" from Umbrella...
Although Lyon directly caused Umbrella to lose a Mammoth, twelve Warthogs, two Yuou and countless other transport vehicles during his mission, the company was not stingy enough to kill this
Legends with outstanding achievements were unilaterally dismissed.
In fact, as early as thirty years ago, in 2056, in accordance with Sui Bian's transfer order, Leon was transferred from the Intelligence Department to the Department of Alien Space and Demon Supervision, serving as one of the supervisors of field agents.
He is on vacation these days, so he stays at home in New York, sleeping until after nine o'clock and then waking up naturally, and then always has breakfast at this restaurant.
What Lyon didn't expect was that just a few days after arriving, he would encounter a rare traffic accident in which the vehicle lost control and left the street and rushed into the restaurant.
I don't know if it's caused by his special physique or just a coincidence...
"By the way, the boss is still behind you, boss? Are you okay?"
At this moment, the waitress suddenly thought of the restaurant owner, and immediately ran towards the kitchen.
However, the boss with a bald head and a chef's outfit climbed out of the kitchen on the hood of the car and came to the right side of the car.
Shaked his head.
The boss looked into the car with the airbag deployed, and frowned at the driver who looked confused: "Young man, why are you so worried so early in the morning? Look, this step..."
Said.
When the bald boss saw that the guests were just frightened and no one was injured, he immediately raised his voice and said:
"Today there was an accident in our store. I'm really sorry. As compensation, I will waive your order for everyone."
Then he looked at the approaching waiter and said, "Tracy, I'll give you five days off to have a good rest. I'll give you a raise after the store is renovated. Ha...ahem, the police are here, so I won't tell you now."
After saying that, the bald boss walked out of the store through the gap created by the car.
On the street outside the store, many onlookers have gathered.
Aircraft from the New York Police Department, trauma team, fire department and other emergency agencies have also arrived.
Police officers wearing simple armors and mechanical skeletons began to evacuate the crowd and blocked both sides of the one-way street, temporarily prohibiting the entry of ground vehicles to avoid traffic jams.
Firefighters and trauma teams entered the restaurant, extracted the liquid hydrogen fuel from the car, and then rescued the driver.
At this time, two more police officers walked into the restaurant and guided Lyon, the waiter and everyone to leave the scene in an orderly manner.
Come outside the store.
Leon leaned against the seaside guardrail and watched as the pilot, who was not seriously injured, was transported into the airship by the trauma team on a stretcher with some kind of suspension technology.
See this.
Leon couldn't help but mutter to himself: "Young man, I hope your insurance limit is enough."
If it is a problem with the quality of the car, the driver can feel more relaxed. If it is a problem with its own operation, then Lyon can only say in his heart that he will be lucky.
But no matter what, the restaurant owner can get a huge amount of compensation, which is why the bald boss suppressed his laughter, waived the order, and gave the waiters a raise.
Just when Leon was about to find a fast food restaurant to make ends meet for brunch, a waiter named Tracy approached him and asked bluntly:
"Mr. Kennedy...are you free tonight? I heard that there is a steak restaurant with good reviews over there at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Do you want to come together..."
"Beep-!Beep-!"
However, the urgent ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted the waiter's invitation.
Leon took out his flake crystal-style mobile phone, glanced at the screen, took advantage of the situation and showed a "pity" look, and politely declined:
"I'm sorry, the company has an urgent matter and I need to travel. Let's talk about it when we get back."
"That's it..." the waiter said regretfully: "Then you go ahead and do your work, Mr. Kennedy."
"Enjoy your vacation and see you another day."
Leon said as he walked forward, then turned left completely off the one-way street and began to carefully read the text message from the company.
But the content is simple and clear:
Director Kennedy, please rush to the New York branch before 14:00. The colony needs investigation by the Supervision Department.
——2086/08/14/10:37.
"Alas..." After seeing the content, Leon put the phone lock screen back into his pocket and couldn't help but sigh:
"Vacations are always so short...Forget it, eating is the main goal now."
He quickly adjusted his mentality and muttered to himself, preparing to deal with the problem of hunger.
After having brunch at a fried chicken fast food restaurant, Lyon took the SkyTrain to the East Side of Manhattan and returned home to his giant apartment.
Unlock and enter the house.
Put on slippers.
Leon first walked to the cloakroom and changed into a brown loose waterproof long-sleeved shirt and black multi-pocket overalls.
Immediately afterwards, he took a black travel bag filled with clothes to the west side of the living room, entered the password into the terminal, performed biometric sensing, and then entered the "utility room" with the door closed.
Turn on the lights.
In the neatly arranged "utility room", on the left and right sides and on the wall opposite the door, there are a dazzling array of firearms, grenades, lightweight armor and all kinds of Umbrella's cutting-edge weapons and equipment.
Take off the belt that contains the quick-draw holster, pistol magazine pouch and small tactical bag, fasten it, select a customized laser pistol and put it into the holster, put the battery magazine and corresponding tools into the magazine pouch and
In the tactical bag, use a shirt to cover these.
Then I took some grenades, magazines and other equipment and put them into my travel bag, packed them up carefully, and headed out on time at 1:30 in the afternoon.
Take a pre-booked air taxi and fly through the bustling urban area lined with high-rise buildings. Within ten minutes, you arrived at the Empire State Building, which had been acquired by Umbrella and converted into the New York branch.
———————
…
The mid-rise area of the New York branch building.
Leon handed the travel bag to the staff, walked to the end of the corridor, and entered a combat conference room.
The automatic door just opened.
The agents in their casual clothes, who were talking with their colleagues or sitting on folding chairs, stood up one after another and saluted Leon:
"Director Kennedy."
"Yes." Leon raised his hand in return, lowered his hand and said, "No need to be restrained."
"Yes, supervisor."
After receiving the order, the agents continued as usual, but the volume of conversations between them was obviously much lower than before.
After all, no matter how young and "unreliable" Lyon seems to be, he is still a senior executive with a corresponding military rank equivalent to brigadier general or major general.
Leon didn't care what these young people thought and went straight to the front of the conference room, sat down and waited.
Soon, the conference room became quiet.
When two o'clock arrives, the holographic device placed in the conference room will generate a real-time image of the infrared scene at the front end.
She glanced at Leon and all the agents, and said in a deep voice with a cold face: "Everyone, this emergency gathering is due to the shortage of intelligence agents and supervisory agents in the Border Fortress sector, and your support is needed to conduct investigation operations."
Hear the words.
Leon, who frowned slightly, asked: "Investigation operation? Is it an investigation about different spaces and demons?"
The Red Queen first shook her head lightly and said, "There is insufficient information to confirm whether it is a different space."
Then she moved her left hand to create a holographic star map of humankind's current territory beside her.
Compared with more than ten years ago, its territorial scope has actually not changed much, but the galaxies developed and colonized by humans within the scope have become much denser.
Moreover, the territory is divided into seven star regions, and the solar system in the center is particularly conspicuous.
At this time, the Red Queen debugged and enlarged the star map, locking in the "Border Fortress" sector that contained a total of thirty-two colonial planets, including the Harvest Star, as well as a large number of asteroid colonies and mines.
The edges of the star map are brief data, such as;
Garrisoned legions: Umbrella Second Legion, Spartan Legion.
UNSC: 5th, 9th, 017th, 026th Fleet.
For example, the Red Queen did not list relevant data such as the reserves of the Spartan Legion, Krieg, and UNSC ground defense strength for everyone.
Revealing the Frontier Fortress sector.
The Red Queen continued: "This sector was harassed by a large number of remnants of the Covenant Empire half a month ago. The specific information will be sent to your personal mobile phones.
At the same time, when individual Jiralhani tribesmen were killed, they erupted with seemingly psychic reactions.
In order to determine whether it is related to another space, everyone here needs to rush to the Border Fortress sector to conduct a secret investigation.
If necessary, I will notify local staff and defense forces to assist you as much as possible. If necessary, the Spartan Legion and Gray Knights will respond to your request for support.
Any questions?"
After the words fell, Leon and all the agents remained silent, indicating that they had no problem.
So the Red Queen turned her attention to Lyon and conveyed: "According to the order of the chairman, Director Kennedy is responsible for the specific allocation."
"Understood." Leon nodded.
"Then I wish you all good luck."
After the Red Queen finished speaking, she took the initiative to dissipate her holographic image, but left behind the displayed star map.
Leon immediately stood up, used the star map to call up brief information on all the colonies in the star area, browsed for a while, and then based on his understanding of his subordinates, he ordered the agents present:
"Hoyt, Gossen, and Lin Jieyu, you three will be responsible for investigating the Harvest Star.
Aijia, Callisto will be left to you, Li Ran, you will be in charge of Haiyan Star, Zeldo..."
Next.
The agents were divided evenly among the colonized planets and asteroid colonies of the border fortress by Leon in pairs, groups of three, or singles.
Lyon chose the most fringe city of Pulton, which once belonged to the Covenant Empire and is now a "territory" of mankind, as the target of investigation.
After assigning their respective tasks.
Leon gave his final advice: "Remember to carry the water of the full moon with you to avoid being eroded and corrupted by demons.
I don’t want to wait until the mission is over and when I’m about to enjoy my vacation, I’ll hear that one of you lost his life due to carelessness. Do you know it clearly?”
"Listen clearly!" all the agents responded in unison.
"Very good. Time waits for no one. Let's go."
"yes."
meeting dismiss.
Everyone left the combat conference room, collected their temporarily held luggage, took company vehicles or airships, and went to the star port on the south side of Manhattan. They then used their special agent authority to board company ships and sail to their respective mission targets.
This time, Leon was not "thrifty" like the rumors among intelligence agents and agents, and also took the transportation provided by the company.

…
Fourteen hours later.
A cargo ship with a similar appearance to a pioneer engineering ship and a length of about 800 meters was sailing rapidly in the fault space.
There are red and white umbrella logos and the words "Silent Mary" printed on both sides of the cargo ship.
In a cabin in the upper living area of the cargo ship, Lyon, who took off his shirt and wore a black sleeveless vest and overalls, was lying on a fixed single bed in a daze with his hands on the back of his head.
It looked like he had taken a nap and just woke up.
Leon's appearance is almost the same as it was during the Arcadia incident in 2042. He still looks like he was twenty-eight or nine years old.
Injection delaying agents are one aspect. The nanotechnology led by Birken and Ziegler is actually still being continuously improved and improved.
Even for the general public who have no access to Xuemanhua and delaying drugs, the average life expectancy has been increased to 205 to 225 years due to nanomedicine.
The age groups of "young" and "old" have changed dramatically, the mortality rate has dropped significantly, and the total population has reached 174.5 billion.
There are seven star sectors, with an average of about 24.9 billion people in each sector, but the solar system as the parent galaxy has nearly 42 billion people, and the Frontier Fortress sector is below the average.
As for the social "happiness index", it has not declined due to population growth.
Since human beings are no longer bound by gravity and confined to the "small" blue earth, people no longer need to worry or worry about buying a place to live.
On the basis of the original technology, the technology of the Covenant Empire has been absorbed, allowing the cost of civilian and even private interstellar navigation to decrease year by year.
There are countless jobs to be done by reclaiming unexplored galaxies and mining mineral resources.
Of course, most things have two sides.
The reduction in the cost of interstellar navigation has also allowed the "robbery business" that originally only occurred on the earth and sea to develop into space.
Asteroid colonies in remote star fields,
smaller space station,
There is a certain probability that a ship that has just sailed out of the fault space will encounter "pirates" composed of opportunists.
