It was like an afterimage, speeding through this metal corridor.
And there were many researchers wearing white coats on the way. They seemed to be used to it and were not too surprised by the "after-image". They continued to move forward on their own, or read the holographic tablet in their hands.
soon.
The young man came to the bedroom at the end of the corridor...
It is said to be a dormitory, but the interior space is very spacious. The first thing that catches the eye is a living room with holographic floor-to-ceiling windows that simulate the seaside, beach and clear noon.
The blond boy walked into it at a slower pace, and then opened a metal gate on the right. When he was about to move forward, he heard "ding! ding!", the rhythmic sound of forging.
I saw that the room the blond boy had just entered had a complete set of blacksmith equipment, such as a furnace, an oven, an iron pier, etc., and the weapon racks on both sides were filled with all kinds of cold weapons.
The source of the forging sound is located in the center of the blacksmith room. It is a young man with a physique of more than two meters, or even close to three meters, with stronger muscles and darker skin. He is holding a giant hammer in both hands and is hammering continuously.
A piece on the iron pier burned red.
He is young but strong, has dark skin, likes to forge weapons, and other characteristics point to this young man holding a giant hammer as the third generation original body of Umbrella——
Wokan.
The blond boy who calls Volkan his brother, who is so handsome that he could be the twin brother of Sanguinius, is another third-generation Primarch, Anakin.
To this day.
Wokan is no longer the three-year-old child he once was, but a thirteen-year-old "teenager".
Anakin has also gone from being a toddler in a petri dish and relying on nutrient solution to survive, to a ten-year-old boy who is curious about everything.
The specific date of "today" is April 14, 2227.
A full ten years have passed since the Human Empire defeated the First Empire with the help of the Emperor, Artemis, and part of the Custodes and Gray Knights, and took over half of the galaxy in Universe 101.
During this period, the territory of the human empire continued to expand steadily in the main universe and the multiverse.
As expected, the different dimensions gradually began to fall into chaos. After all, the Cursed Legion on the Isle of Heroes had begun to launch an active attack on Slaanesh and the realm of the great demons who believed in Slaanesh.
Other evil gods who don't know why naturally won't get involved in this muddy water and choose to stay away from Slaanesh. They don't want to provoke the curse that is several times, or even dozens of times more powerful than the Astartes in the physical universe.
Legion.
There is no way, most of the members of the Cursed Legion are "heroes", but for various reasons, they finally died in hatred, but under the blessing of the emperor's spiritual energy, they gained "immortality" in a different space, and their combat power is naturally far beyond their reach.
Super ordinary devil.
However, the Cursed Legion alone was not enough to plunge the alien space into chaos. The really crucial turning point was that some Khorne demons actually began to attack some low- and mid-level demons who liked extreme indulgence, enjoyment and killing for no reason.
It was a proactive attack.
Although it is a common phenomenon for demons to kill and devour each other in different spaces, it happened at the time when the Cursed Legion attacked...
This led to more high-level demons who didn't know what was going on, and began to set their sights on Slaanesh and the Great Demon of Slaanesh, hoping to get a piece of the pie.
It can be said that the chaos in the different space at this moment is getting more and more intense, and even parts of the physical universe are beginning to be implicated.
However, for the human empire, which has been well prepared, whenever a different space storm breaks out in any star region or space, the imperial fleet and legion battalion headquarters will rush there immediately, followed by the Gray Knights and the Supervision Department.
Of course, these are not what Anakin and Wokkan need to consider. They are only vaguely aware of the restlessness in the different space, and they have no way of knowing exactly.
The two of them spent most of these years in Luna Base, receiving the teachings from their father, Rebecca, Alexia and others, and became elites far beyond ordinary people.
They also accompanied their father, the Red Queen and the White Queen to New Krypton, and even participated in a resistance war to overthrow the theocratic government. Their heroic bravery was recorded in the history of New Krypton...
But the New Kryptonians don't know that Volcan and Anakin are the blood children of their creator. After all, who would have thought that two children of about ten years old could grow to a height of almost two meters?
The New Kryptonians who participated in that battle could only regard Vulcan and Anakin as young heroes, and did not think about them as blood children of the Creator.
For the two newborn Primarchs, traveling to New Krypton was more like an "outing", and it was also the furthest journey they had ever taken.
Until now, the two of them have never left the solar system, let alone the main universe.
However, not long ago, when Anakin was admiring the starry sky in the central hall of Luna Base, Queen White's holographic projection appeared next to him, and conveyed the order to his father, asking him and Volkan to prepare first, and then arrange to go to Universe Zero-3.
Although Queen Bai didn't say the specific purpose and what she was going to do in Universe 03, Anakin was already very excited.
Because we can finally leave the solar system!
So he rushed back to the dormitory as fast as possible and quickly conveyed the news to his brother Wokan.
“…”
After listening to Anakin's description, Wokkan did not rush to reply, but he also stopped the forging action, placed the giant hammer on the side of the iron pier, picked up the iron tongs, picked up the red-hot metal, and put it into the molten metal.
In the vat.
"Boo!!!" sound.
The mist suddenly rose.
The water tank kept boiling.
After waiting for a while, Wokan used iron pliers to take out the flake-shaped and cooled metal from the water tank, placed it again on the iron pier, and squatted down to observe it carefully.
"Brother!" Seeing that Wokkan was unhurried and still focused on forging matters, Anakin hurriedly walked to the opposite side of Wokkan, "We can finally leave the solar system!"
"So?" Wokan raised his head and glanced at his younger brother, who had a somewhat impatient temper and lacked patience, and then continued to observe the half-forged metal.
"So?" Anakin was stunned.
yes…
Only then did Anakin realize that his father hadn't sent the arrangements yet and he didn't know what to do. There was really no need to worry about anything now.
Sensing that his brother's mood was gradually calming down, Wokan smiled slightly and straightened up, no longer trying to be arrogant. He picked up the orange-red bath towel that was obviously a bath towel, but to him it was just a towel, and wiped the sweat stains on his forehead.
, turned around and walked towards the living room, and warned Anakin who was following him:
"Brother, I told you a few years ago that you are very strong and have great potential, but you are too impatient in dealing with things.
You are still young now, and the consequences are not obvious, but if you still can't change this problem when you become an adult and become the Primarch of a Legion, then you will suffer a big loss sooner or later, do you understand?"
"Ah...ah...I know." Anakin nodded perfunctorily.
The two grew up together, so Anakin naturally knew about Wokan's good intentions and knew that this was his brother's concern, but Anakin always felt that his brother was too nagging.
Next.
Since Empress Bai did not confirm this trip to Universe 03, the two of them went to their respective bedrooms and simply packed their belongings.
Wokkan only took a few changes of clothes, and more of the forged weapons were stuffed into the equipment box customized for them at Luna Base.
Anakin, on the other hand, was the opposite of his brother. He had a lot of bright clothes, but only a "light saber" given to him by his father.
When the two brothers packed up and moved the boxes to the living room, a holographic communication prompt happened to come.
Seeing this, Anakin, who couldn't wait for a long time, immediately clicked the "Agree" button on the holographic screen.
Immediately afterwards, many gorgeous blue light points were released in the living room, and then circled and condensed, finally forming a holographic image with a solid texture.
As for the person who initiated the holographic communication, it was Sui Bian who was wearing "unchanged" black clothes and a red cloak, with his hands behind his back.
"Father."
Facing Sui Bian, Wokkan and Anakin immediately stopped their previous playful attitude and kept standing straight.
"Um."
Sui Bian also nodded lightly in response. He glanced at his two sons and saw the equipment boxes already arranged behind them. He couldn't help but shake his head and smile:
"Do you really want to travel and have fun?"
"It's okay...it's actually pretty good at Luna Base, especially with the teachings of Dr. Chambers." Anakin didn't seem to be as yearning for the outside world as before, but it was obvious that he meant what he said.
Wokkan remained silent.
See this.
"I have to deal with things in different dimensions these years, so I have less time to accompany you two." Sui Bian said a little apologetically, "And you are both grown up now, so I am going to let you two go to Zero Three alone.
The Captain Sector of the Universe.
I will let Empress Bai upload the specific planetary coordinates to your mailbox later. Anyway, just arrive before the 24th. Take advantage of this time to browse the territory of the empire."
Heading to the Flying Star Area of Universe Zero-3 alone?
this…
Volkan and Anakin were unable to react for a moment.
But soon, Anakin looked confused and said: "Father...you mean, as long as we arrive at the designated place in ten days, we can go wherever we want before then?"
"Yes, literally." Sui Bian did not deny it, and then he added:
"But don't forget, you can relax as much as you like before the 24th, but after the 24th, you will accompany the Man-Eating Shark Battalion who arrived first to help Leon Kennedy and Lara Croft visit their graves.
task force.
By then, you will have to participate in military operations in advance, and it will no longer be a small uprising or overthrow of the theocratic dictatorship.
By the way, one last reminder, although you are my descendants, it does not mean that you also have privileges that far exceed those of the residents of the empire, do you understand?"
As he spoke, Sui Bian also deliberately cast his gaze on Anakin.
There is nothing better than a father who knows a son.
Anakin is smart, but sometimes he tends to show off. Although he and Wokan have been patiently guiding him, Sui Bian believes that sometimes it is better to put some words in plain sight.
"Yes, father." The two original bodies responded in unison.
"Well, you two can set off at any time, but I suggest you go to the Raccoon City Star Port. After all, it is the Empire's first and largest ground star port so far.
Okay, I won’t say any more. As for what to be more careful about, you two know for yourself. In the end... have fun."
After saying that, Sui Bian ended the holographic communication first, restoring the living room of the two original bodies to its original state.
Slowly.
"Brother, are we "free"?" Anakin still couldn't believe it.
"It depends on how you define freedom." Wokan answered the question and turned around and walked out of the dormitory, "Let's go to Raccoon City first."
"Okay." Anakin made no sense.
after.
The two left the dormitory they had lived in together for nearly ten years and walked through the metal corridor patrolled by many researchers, Imperial soldiers and Glory Iron Fist.
The equipment box filled with luggage and even weapons will deploy the suspension device according to the established procedure, automatically follow the two people forward, and will also avoid and accelerate according to the road conditions.
Of course, this kind of technology is not limited to the upper echelons of the empire. On the contrary, it is very popular in the entire imperial society and can be regarded as one of the most "cheap" products.
It won't take long.
The two came to the central hall of Luna Base.
Compared with two hundred years ago, the changes here are generally not too big. There are still artificial lakes, artificial grasslands, woods, and even birds can be seen vaguely in the woods. This also means that the sweet cries are not voices.
Play.
The most obvious change is probably the holographic floor-to-ceiling windows placed on the edge, which are more realistic than two hundred years ago. The scenery presented gives people a realistic and impactful feeling of standing on the back of the moon.
In addition, the original metal gas valves have been replaced by particle gas valves (like light curtains), making the space more open.
The two continued walking.
Take the Astartes-specific rail train and go to the station where the teleportation elevator is located.
When they arrived here, as soon as the two original bodies stepped out of the rail train, they encountered several battalion veterans equipped with cavalry-type Terminators, with helmets decorated with olive branches and red capes hanging behind them.
These battalion veterans did not stop routine inspections because Vulkan and Anakin were the originals. Instead, they used armor scans to ensure that everything on them and their equipment boxes was normal before they were given the pass.
Because this site allows people to travel directly between Raccoon City and Luna Base, it has to be treated with a higher security level.
In the center of the site, which is similar to a small waiting hall, there are several giant glass tube-shaped "matrices".
Wokkan and Anakin walked into one of them with their equipment boxes, and then they saw cyan-blue light spots similar to holographic devices starting to float around.
But the next moment, the blue light intensified, seeming to fill their entire field of vision.
call out!!
With a silent pause, the light instantly dissipated.
The scene outside the glass tube was "switched" from the previous site to the high-rise lobby of the Umbrella Building.
