The huge temporary base built by Dianka's local engineering team and the engineers who came with the Spartan battleship group is responsible for receiving injured soldiers and civilians and helping to share the pressure on hospitals in the metropolitan area.
Among the medical staff gathered in this base, most are medical officers and nurses from the Spartan Auxiliary Army and the UNSC Fleet, and their level is absolutely first-rate.
In a cabin on the easternmost side of the base, there were no imaginary sounds of "Ah... it hurts...", "Uh... uh...", or "Doctor! Save me, doctor! I don't want to die yet!"
roar.
The reality is completely different from the imagination. Instead of groaning, roaring, and pungent smell of medicine or blood, there is cool air conditioning and comfortable beds.
The wounded lying here are all auxiliary troops of the 16th Spartan Battalion, and there are very few injured with intact bodies. Either their arms or legs are missing, or their bodies are severely burned, and some have even turned into "human beings".
"Stick" look.
You must know that the enemy the auxiliary army faces is the Chaos Astartes blessed by the power of the evil god. Once the shield is lost and the explosive bomb penetrates the power armor, usually they will be killed directly, but there are also a few lucky "big ones"
, for example, the auxiliary troops lying in this cabin survived by chance.
With the most advanced nanotechnology and professional medical staff for examination and treatment, the patient has long been out of danger, and even the most excruciating pain and itching have been eliminated.
After complete recovery, Umbrella will also reimburse the cost of biological prostheses and prosthetics.
As for biological prostheses, Umbrella naturally uses the blood and genes of the injured to recreate the missing parts, which is much better than mechanical prostheses. There is no rejection at all, so it won't take long for the injured to "recover as before."
However, no matter how comfortable the environment of Ark is, and no matter how generous the benefits and subsidies provided by the company are, the interest of the injured patients is not very high.
After all, no matter how advanced the medical technology is, it is always difficult to be injured, whether it is physical or psychological, and the most important point is that they will not be able to catch up with the large army to go on an expedition to the parallel universe.
Although the superiors have not yet sent any information about the expedition, according to the past human style of revenge, the expedition is inevitable.
But they were injured! It was really... extremely uncomfortable not being able to teach the traitors a lesson personally.
In addition to not being very high-spirited, the injured in the temporary cabins were also full of doubts and confusions. That is, the person who stopped their injuries immediately was not a professional medical team, but a powerful "psychic person"
", and while receiving the psychic treatment from this "psychic person", they felt a...
A radiance of motherhood?
There is always a kind of long-lasting memory of being hugged by my mother in her arms to comfort her and stabilize her mind after she burst into tears due to being naughty, naughty or accidentally injured, plus the pain.
At this moment, the psyker is in the main building facility in the center of the base, continuing to use "her" psychic powers to assist medical personnel, treat seriously injured civilians and soldiers, and relieve the pain of these injuries.
And this psyker is Hera who single-handedly released the barrier to protect the Dianca metropolitan area.
At this moment, four Spartan auxiliary troops wearing CMC commander type power armor walked into the facility unimpeded and waited silently outside the intensive care unit.
Seeing this, without the nurses stepping forward to ask, Hera, who has extremely strong perception, already knew the intention of the four auxiliary troops here, so she turned and left directly, and continued to release psychic energy to relieve severe injuries.
suffer from physical and psychological pain.
Just after leaving the observation room, one of the auxiliary soldiers reminded Hera in a very cold tone: "Please come with us."
"Okay." Hera nodded and responded with a slight smile, not caring about the other party's attitude at all, and "her" eyes inadvertently revealed some expectations, even...
Miss you?
Next, four auxiliary troops with a height of about 2.1 meters, supported by the CMC commander type, protected the 1.77 meter Hera in the center, and walked out of the facility silently.
Immediately afterwards, Hera and the auxiliary troops boarded a special atmospheric transport boat and flew away from this temporary base to an altitude of a thousand meters.
Finally, the transport boat entered a Zeus-class flagship belonging to the 1st Battalion of the Spartan Legion. Among the many giants standing on the hangar deck of the flagship, Hera had been "thinking"
of John.
When the transport boat landed and stopped, opening the hatches on both sides for the auxiliary troops and Hera to leave the cabin, John led a group of warrior guards to approach the Olympian goddess whose intentions were unknown and whose side was uncertain.
“…”
On the other hand, Hera, who had always kept a calm smile and was always calm and peaceful, gradually raised her jaw as John got closer and closer. Her eyes suddenly became moist, and tears seemed to start to accumulate in the corners of her eyes. Her expression was also filled with sadness.
.
What's happening here?
Seeing the other party showing such an appearance, John, who came closer and stopped, looking down at Hera, was deeply confused.
Even a group of warriors and the four auxiliary troops responsible for the escort were puzzled for a while, wondering whether their original body had killed a relative of the God Queen in the past battles, or who.
Heir?
But, it doesn't make sense.
The auxiliary army may not know it, but the Warrior Guards, whose average age is over a hundred years old, know that their original body only killed the fallen goddess Pallas Athena, and that Hera's "husband" Zeus was killed by their father's sword.
Their primarch and this goddess should...
There's no deep grudge.
Hera's tears were like a torrent of dams, flowing downwards unstoppably, across her flawless white cheeks, dripping directly onto the metal deck, and the tears of the Olympus gods were still faintly emitting a faint golden light.
Then, "she" slowed down and gradually walked towards John, who was very close at hand. She slowly raised her arms and called in a visibly trembling voice: "My child...my child..."
child?!
After hearing Hera's words, everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment, and some were unable to react.
Fortunately, the warriors all wore helmets, otherwise a group of giants who were stereotyped as being cold, calm, and unfazed by anything they encountered would actually look like they had their mouths wide open and their eyes wide open.
However, the most surprised person should be John, whom Hera called her child.
“…”
At this moment, the original Spartan also showed a little shock, but his facial expression quickly returned to its original state. He quickly took two steps back, avoiding Hera who wanted to get close to him, and asked in a low voice.
:
"Child? Please explain why you call me that."
As he spoke, John was still restraining his anger. If his father hadn't reminded him that Hera might be a potential ally of mankind, he might have really couldn't help but shoot Hera.
After all, who would have thought that the other party would call him a child??
Seeing John dodge and sensing John's angry mood, Hera realized that "she" had gone too far, and then quickly regained her composure and calmed down her sad expression.
"Ahem...I'm sorry." After clearing her throat again, apologizing and trying to alleviate her previous gaffe, Hera regained the aura that a god queen should have. She looked John up and down and couldn't help but praise him:
"He is worthy of being the second son of the Lord of Humanity. Regardless of his appearance or ability, he can be called the God of War of mankind..."
As she spoke, Hera's eyes inadvertently glanced at the Spear of Fear and the fiery red cloak behind John, and finally met John's eyes and explained:
"John, your appearance, your supernatural power (spiritual power), and especially your unsmiling demeanor, all remind me of my sacrificed son."
"The son who has been sacrificed..."
Hearing this, John's anger dissipated a little, and he immediately understood what the other party meant. It was obvious that Hera thought he was Ares.
But what still puzzled John was that the goddess of hunting, who was very close to his father, never said anything about him and Ares.
However, Hera may have become ill because of longing for Ares, plus the Spear of Fear he owned, and decades ago, his father also gave him the complete God of War armor. These two items represent Ares.
Rhys.
A moment of silence.
John still had a cold expression, but his tone was no longer hostile and defensive, and he said in a deep voice: "I understand how you miss me, madam, but I am not Ares. I hope you can keep this in mind."
"It was my fault just now." Hera also shook her head and apologized, and before John could continue the topic, she took the initiative to express her intention and said: "Also, please rest assured that you and your father, I saw Dianka in crisis.
Only then did he choose to take the initiative to help Dianka tide over the difficulties.
I also know that Artemis and Hephaestus are now assisting you and your son to consolidate the great cause of mankind. As for me...I am very grateful to your father for "helping" Zeus and all the fallen gods to be freed."
"What you mean is that you are willing to cooperate with us humans." John said indifferently.
"Yes." Hera did not deny it, and said: "In this current situation, you humans really need more power to maintain the stability of the territory."
"Thank you." John nodded, then turned and walked towards the bridge, with his back to Hera and said: "Please follow me, my father will talk to you directly."
"Okay." Hera responded happily.

…
Forty-two hours later.
Dianka local time is July 15th, 07:16.
In the past two days, there have been no large-scale actions on the part of the traitors. They only dispatched a small fleet, supported by the power of chaos, to try to sneak through the whirlpool space gate.
However, these small fleets were all destroyed by three thousand Spartan battleships and the Leodani.
Although psychic stealth is extremely effective, humans are even more proficient at "playing" with optical camouflage effects. Although the two types of stealth are essentially different, humans can easily detect this with existing technology.
A stealth-like battleship.
In fact, there are no large-scale actions, which is also related to the subspace navigation technology used by humans in "Warhammer 30 and 40k". Even if the traitors are blessed by the power of chaos, they cannot complete various arrangements in two days.
In contrast, humans in the main universe...
At this moment, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of jump exits appeared one after another within the cosmic domain of the Whirlpool Space Gate.
I saw a corresponding number of "steel behemoths" of different lengths, widths, and specifications driving out of the fault space. This scene is absolutely unique in human history.
There are seven jump exits over 300 kilometers, four of which are to facilitate the home worlds of Glory Iron Fist, Raven Guard, Wrecker, and Blood Angels to reach the Vortex Space Gate.
The diameter of the other three reached an astonishing 4,400 kilometers, allowing three "ring" shapes and different kinds of celestial-level "ships" to blend into the human battleship group.
These three "rings" are exactly the large devices 001, 002 and 003 mentioned by Sui Bian and Bai Hou. They are also the aura of Umbrella's restoration of the administrator's civilization.
It is a halo that only belongs to humans.
When Robert, Leon and other Primarchs brought back the Shield of Terra for their father after resolving the crisis between the Titanium Empire and the Green Skins, its memory storage contained complete technology on how to build the Halo and the Ark.
After Umbrella fully mastered these two technologies, Ferus's casting sector was responsible for manufacturing them. After six years, humanity currently has a total of nine rings with a diameter of four thousand kilometers.
However, the progress of Ark is somewhat slow.
Although the Human Ark is a replica of the Administrator's civilization, a fake, smaller in every aspect than the "original" one, it is still an Ark that can swallow an Earth-like planet and then independently build a halo, or various celestial-level buildings, and battleships
.
The diameter of the Human Ark is one-half that of the Administrator's Ark. Even so, the diameter has reached 70,000 kilometers. It is a "space lotus" that still takes six years to complete.
Moreover, when Umbrella launched the Halo and Ark plans, she did not forget to take corresponding defensive measures.
Humanity has long mastered the complete technology of the shield world. As for the diameter of the home world, which is "only" a hundred kilometers, it is because there is no need to build a thousand-kilometer level one, and the firepower can be kept the same.
In addition to their immense firepower and considerable self-sufficiency, Shield Worlds are resistant to the cross-phase pulse waves emitted by the Halo Matrix.
You must have both a spear and a shield.
Therefore, the Umbrella Engineering Department is working day and night to install a sufficient number of "protective stance" generating devices in the low-Earth orbits of colonized planets such as Earth, Mars, and Venus.
For example, today's Earth has initially deployed sixty-four generating devices, and continues to develop an invisible protective stance.
Numbered and licensed airships, space shuttles and ships can enter and exit freely. If they are unknown objects without permission or extremely fast asteroids, they will directly "collide" into the protective position and cannot harm the surface at all.
Moreover, this kind of protective attitude technology originates from the administrator civilization. It can not only be used as a planetary defense mechanism, but also can resist the "extinction flash" released by the halo, preventing humans from ending up in the same fate after fully activating the halo matrix in times of crisis.
