Chapter 137 Queen Prepares for Miracles and Reopening

"Jonathan! Take your people to block the right wing, and don't let those zombies escape later!"

"Horst, Nona! Your platoon is responsible for sweeping this neighborhood!"

On the communication channel, the order of a company commander resounded.

Among the deserted streets under the scorching midday sun, more than a hundred Emergency Response Soldiers (AECS) wearing dark green camouflage combat uniforms, equipped with semi-covering mechanical skeletons and face-covering helmets were quickly dispersing in platoon units. open.

Then, the AECS began to use their respective tactical teams as a basis to sweep the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street one by one.

One of the standard tactical teams of nine people gathered outside an apartment building.

The captain holding the AMWS Commander type pressed against the left wall and moved his right hand forward, seemingly giving some kind of order through gestures and their team communication.

Immediately afterwards, two machine gunners armed with .30cal smart machine guns came to the main entrance and pointed their guns at the apartment building with broken glass and peeling paint on the walls.

Da da da…

During this period, sporadic gunshots were heard all around.

The captain, four riflemen, and two blasters also quickly rushed to the main entrance and cooperated with their comrades to build a fan-shaped fire line.

Buzz—!

Then, they used individual equipment to release a low-decibel noise that could not be heard by human ears, and waited patiently for a few seconds...

"Roar!!"

With beast-like roars, countless "walking corpses" poured out of the apartment building.

Their muscles were withered, their bones were skinny, and their clothes were in tatters. They ran at extremely fast speeds through the stairs and the front door and rushed outside, or they jumped directly out of the window and smashed themselves on the road outside.

"Da da da!!"

However, the moment they appeared within the sighting range of the AECS team, they suffered concentrated fire attacks from 6.2mm rifle rounds, 20mm conventional shotgun shells and .30cal explosive shells.

Bang!

Bah!

With just one encounter, the zombie's torso was shattered and limbs were torn apart. He instantly lost his ability to move and fell to the ground, completely losing his threat to the AECS.

In less than fifteen seconds, this team killed nearly a hundred walking corpses.

At this moment.

A rifleman's helmet screen displays various detailed information, including her name "Maggie Shaw", her team number "7", and "Main Universe Time: 2000" /03/27, 11:36".

"All riflemen and demolitioners, follow me into the target building to confirm whether the threat has been truly eliminated."

Hearing this, Maggie and her comrades followed the captain into the apartment building.

Alternating and covering each other, quick checks through close combat formations swept through the entire apartment building.

After confirming that no zombie was missed, they retreated outside the building and continued to sweep the remaining area.

12:44.

More than an hour later.

This AECS company completed the neighborhood sweep mission very smoothly, and quickly returned to the base in the east on a Black Falcon assault boat that looked like a Black Hawk helicopter but used a jet engine.

The rifleman named Maggie Shaw sat on the right side of the open door, put her legs out of the cabin, and locked and fixed the mechanical skeleton to avoid being thrown out of the cabin in a sudden accident.

She unfolded her mask, revealing her distinct, heroic face, as well as her short brown-red female hair.

Being at a high altitude, she could have an unobstructed view of the town below...

It is a small town with a rather Greek architectural style.

When the assault boat formation carrying them reached the designated height and prepared to close the hatch and speed up, Maggie saw the still blue Aegean Sea and the city of Athens located on the east side of the Aegean Sea.

Take your legs back.

The hatch is closed.

Maggie, who returned to her seat, leaned back on the chair, closed her eyes and took a nap.

Her real name is Maggie Shaw. She just completed the military academy founded by Atlas last year. In early 2000, that is, at the beginning of this year, she joined AECS as a quasi-officer and real recruit, and was then transferred to Earth 05 (World War Z) conducts various "military exercises" with live ammunition.

After all, there is not much threat from the walking dead on Earth Zero-5, and our fellow human beings need to regain their lost territory step by step, so for them, it is the most suitable place to exercise courage and improve their military literacy.

Before she entered college, she actually had the identity of a "freelance vigilante", that is -

Queen Maeve.

At that time, Walter had not yet collapsed, and Maggie did not know that she had been continuously injected with No. 5 compound as a child, thinking that she was born with super defense and strength.

In addition, she greatly admired the Queen of Connaught in ancient Irish mythology. She longed for her to be as valiant as she was, good at using strategy and force, and she was also the protector of her heirs and people.

Therefore, Maggie started wearing a mask when she was 14 years old, secretly assisting the police in dealing with gunmen, and also helping firefighters rush into fires to rescue trapped people.

Her "vigilante" career lasted until her 17th birthday.

Walter International sent an invitation to Xiang, saying that she could join a new superhero team led by the people of the motherland and have the best stage to carry out the spirit of punishing evil and promoting good.

Maggie was briefly confused about this.

Because her hometown is in the South Central, there is a certain resistance to the East Coast, especially New York.

But being able to join the top team and become a real superhero is also Maggie's dream.

But before she made her decision, Soldier Boy exposed various scandals on the Internet, causing the image of Water International to plummet, the stock price to collapse directly, and even the so-called strongest people in the motherland disappeared in an explosion.

This unexpected turn not only broke Maggie's dream of being a superhero, but also tore apart the illusion of "natural power".

After knowing that she was just an accidental product of biological weapons, she was on the verge of collapse.

After all, when she was unconscious, she was handed over to Water by her parents on the grounds of "wanting children to become better".

However, the information and files exposed by Soldier Boy clearly recorded that the probability of successfully obtaining "superpowers" is extremely low, and most children will end up with lifelong disabilities.

Fortunately, Atlas issued an announcement in time, indicating that they have the means to remove Compound No. 5 in the body, can provide low-cost treatment services to the masses, and can also assist the official to solve the super scum who completely "let go of himself".

Then, her family welcomed an Atlas agent.

In addition to providing her with an admission letter to the military academy, the other party also let her know that Atlas has been secretly observing all superpowered people and knows which "people" are worth saving.

Then, in order to continue to realize her ambitions and prove the value of her existence, she resolutely joined the military academy founded by Atlas in New Accra City to receive formal instruction and military training.

At the same time, the company clearly required her and some trainees who retained superpowers not to use superpowers without authorization unless they were executing the orders of their direct superiors or in an emergency situation that was unavoidable.

At first, she and the trainees who retained superpowers were not very adaptable.

But as they mastered more military knowledge and tactical actions, they found that obeying orders was the right choice, and always put the team first at all times.

And today is the 52nd day since Maggie came to Earth 05.

I don't know how long I flew.

"How long do you think we need to train? Another month?" Suddenly, a question came from the communication.

"Yes, usually three to four months." A comrade replied.

"It is said that you will fill out a second intention report at the end of the training. If you want to apply to ARS or ODST, you have to train for at least another half a year... The premise is that your physical fitness must be up to standard," another comrade added with a smile.

"I am not very interested in ARS and ODST. What I really want to go to is the Investigation Department."

The guy who asked the question shook his head, then looked at Maggie, who had opened her eyes and emptied her mind and body, and continued to ask:

"Xiao, what about you?"

Hearing this, the comrades in the cabin all focused their eyes on Maggie.

"Me?"

Maggie, who had recovered from her shock, raised her hand and pointed at herself. Seeing that her comrades were nodding and expecting, she put her hand down, thought carefully, and said:

"It should be the Investigation Department. I feel that investigators and the special operations team of the Investigation Department are more suitable for me."

"That's right." The guy who also wanted to go to the Investigation Department immediately said: "You have a much better physical fitness than ordinary people. Investigators are indeed suitable for you."

As soon as the voice fell, a comrade laughed and scolded: "Xiao has absolute strength, but when I heard what you said, why do I always feel that you are praising yourself in disguise? Come on, who will wake him up? I'll buy him a drink!"

"I'm not bad in all aspects, okay!"

"Two meals!"

"Two meals?! I'll wake him up!"

"Hahaha!!"

For a while, the cabin was filled with laughter and verbal playfulness between soldiers, and even Maggie joined in.

Four years of military school life and two months of military career have made most soldiers no longer prejudiced against these superhumans who have Compound No. 5 flowing in their bodies but maintain their bottom line.

Superhumans like Maggie also have a sense of belonging, thinking that she is a soldier who obeys orders and commands, and has become more determined in her human identity.

At this moment, the scenery outside the cabin has long changed from the blue ocean to an endless desert.

But before long, a "new oasis city" first appeared in the pilots' field of vision.

There are towering megastructures here, green plants are scattered between the streets, and there are hundreds of flying boats shuttling and patrolling in the sky.

The most eye-catching facility is the nuclear fusion power plant that keeps a certain distance from the city and provides energy for the entire city.

As for the predecessor of this city that looks like a desert oasis, it is Dubai, located near the space gate.

However, after the Atlas armed forces cleared the zombies, this place was renovated and rebuilt by the engineering department and became the base city established by Atlas on Earth 05.

Next.

The assault boat transport formation carried everyone across the desert, bypassed the edge of the city, and finally landed on the vertical apron of the military base outside the city.

The hatch opened.

The engine shut down.

The AECS company where Maggie was located crossed the apron and prepared to go to the equipment preparation room of the base to hand over their weapons and equipment to the logistics management.

However, as soon as everyone entered the facility, the company commander's words came over the communication:

"Everyone, please pay attention. You have five hours to pack your personal belongings. After five hours, we will take the rail train through the space gate and go to the ruins base in the main universe to stand by."

After the voice fell, the guy who had asked the question in the cabin immediately said:

"Go to the ruins base and wait? Are we going to participate in a large-scale military operation?"

"Calculate the time, the space gate will be opened soon. If the situation in the 07 universe is too complicated, more soldiers will be needed to deal with it, so we should be the reserve force...

Of course, I am just speculating based on the files released by the company, which may not be true."

"Wow!" Hearing the explanation of his teammates, the guy raised his hand and patted Maggie on the shoulder, and said with anticipation:

"Xiao, it's time to earn military merits together. Maybe we can transfer directly to the investigation department!"

"..." Maggie looked at the other person speechlessly.

——

...

At the same time.

The ruins base, on the second floor of the command center;

The center console shows five holographic screens, and shows five original bodies in black uniforms.

Robert (Guilliman), Sanguinius and Lion all have golden hair, but the hairstyles of these three Primarchs are short hair, long hair and slicked back hair respectively, reflecting their different aesthetics.

There is also Horus with short black hair, who may not be as good-looking as Sanguinius, but has a different temperament.

There is also Magnus who has started to grow dark red long hair, and his appearance is more and more like a scholar.

As for the people standing next to the center console, they are Sui Yang in a black windbreaker, and Dorn and Vulcan who are one year and two months old.

Less than one and a half years old is a child for ordinary humans, but it is a teenager for the Primarchs, so Dorn is now 1.3 or 1.4 meters tall.

And it may be the first time that he met his brothers from other universes with his father in a formal occasion, which made Dorn look serious and nervous, for fear that he would not perform well enough.

As for Vulcan...

It seems a bit special.

Although he is the same age as Dorn, he is already 1.8 meters tall and has a strong physique that can support the black clothes on his body.

Although he is also nervous, Vulkan is not too restrained. He just stands silently on the right side of the center console.

Not long ago, Sui Yang ordered Jack Krauser, the commander-in-chief of AECS, to dispatch AECS without defense tasks to the ruins base to stand by to deal with possible emergencies.

After all, the date of opening the sixth space gate is February 9, 1999, and 414 days later, it will be today, March 27, 2000, which is the time when the seventh space gate can be opened.

At this time, Sui Yang was giving some verbal instructions to the five Primarchs:

"You are all excellent, and you have managed the branches of the company in different universes very well. To be honest, you have helped me share a lot of affairs and shared a lot of pressure.

Although we are father and son, I still want to say thank you.

I will not say anything else. Finally, if you encounter some phenomena that cannot be explained by physics, I believe you all know what to do and what to say.

Okay, let's get busy."

"Yes, father."

The five Primarchs responded respectfully in unison, and then took the initiative to dissipate their respective screens.

After saying "wait for me here" to Dorn and Vulcan, Sui Yang also turned around and left the command center.

Seeing this, the two young Primarchs came to the edge of the second floor and saw their father again through the observation window.

"Hey." Dorn looked at Sui Yang walking towards the altar and asked Vulcan beside him:

"Who do you think is the most easy-going among all the brothers?"

"Horus." Vulcan said without hesitation: "He is the first brother who gave us birthday presents. He also recorded a video himself, saying that we can go to Universe 05 to play with him when we are free."

"I think so too." Dorn had no objection.

At this time, Dorn saw Sui Yang had stepped onto the stairs and was about to reach the top of the altar with a skull engraved on it, so he continued:

"Then...brother, do you think father is really a god walking on earth as rumored?"

"I don't know." Vulcan didn't care that Dorn took advantage of him, and blurted out again: "I only know that father is father, there is no need to entangle anything. What is the difference between being a god and not being a god? Right."

"What you said...seems to make sense." Dorn thought.

Sui Yang outside the window had already used his psychic power to cut his palm, allowing blood to fill the skull mark and causing the golden light to appear.

!

Dorn and Vulcan, who witnessed this scene for the first time, could not help but show surprise on their faces, and slightly closed their eyes, trying to adapt to the overly dazzling golden light.

When the light faded;

They found that the seventh space gate appeared at the end of the ruins base.

Then, more than a dozen hellhounds that had been fully prepared passed through the silver mirror like wild horses, performing the first reconnaissance for the fully armed vanguard team members.

"Brother..." Dorn sighed: "Do you think this is a miracle?"

"..." Vulcan shrugged and did not answer.

There is still one chapter, 1,300 words have been written, and there are still 1,000 words left. It will take some time, at least two hours.

This chapter is about 4,700 words. Finally, thank you all for your support~
