Christmas in 2009 was more lively than ever, perhaps because people are getting better and better.

More and more cities are responding to gun bans, homeless people are no longer seen on the streets, prices are falling, wages are rising, sick people are no longer afraid of illness, and poor people are no longer worried about tomorrow.

Or perhaps it is the increased patrol force during the transition between the old and the new, which gives them a sense of protection and allows them to walk easily on the streets at night.

There's always something refreshing in the corners of a bustling business district, and on the edge of the Clinton district of Manhattan is a new supermarket next to a nondescript minimalist building with the Umbrella Company security force logo and the words: "Recruiting Office"

This is one of the recruitment points for the entire population of the community, similar recruitment points are available in various cities and rural areas, and during the opening hours, the recruitment office will recruit 10 young people aged 19-25 to join the umbrella security forces.

Although the Umbrella Company's security forces may sound like a tedious position for security guards, such as standing guard and patrolling, the Umbrella Security Force is actually a large military organization that is more professional than the average small country's military.

The soldiers recruited by the recruitment department will participate in expeditions beyond the earth together with the umbrella company in the future, and most of the promotional videos issued are mainly interstellar, extraterrestrial life wars and human supremacy, supplemented by various high-tech equipment and cool combat scenes.

Whether it's a propaganda video or a more practical welfare system, a full-time soldier in the Umbrella Security Force is a rare and good job, and there are some people who simply have a very high opinion of the umbrella company.

So there was a very ridiculous scene in front of this supermarket, a large number of young men and women crowded at the door of the supermarket to create a very lively scene for the supermarket, but only a handful of people really entered and exited the supermarket, most of them just gathered at the door of the supermarket.

The cold temperatures could not dampen the enthusiasm in the hearts of the young people, who talked to each other, expressed their nervousness to their peers, and constantly simulated the scene in their minds when they were about to be tested, often becoming excited by their imagination.

In addition to those who really want to join the umbrella company, there are also some people who simply hold up their cameras and wait for the recruitment office to open.

At eight o'clock in the morning, a first-generation Kun fighter flew in the sky and hovered five meters above the recruitment office, and then the tail hatch of the plane opened, and a man and a woman wearing black combat uniforms jumped out under the eager eyes of the underground masses.

The way this scene jumped out of the plane is really to understand the propaganda to the research!

Ordinary people just like to see this kind of uncommon thing on weekdays to satisfy their curiosity, and the scene of the plane jump alone is worth ten dollars for the onlookers.

After the ordinary gate was opened in this unusual way, the young people gathered at the gate consciously lined up outside the recruitment office, one for men and one for women.

No one is the first to take the lead because recruitment does not look at who is the fastest, but on all the overall qualities of the individual.

The Recruitment Office has by far the most advanced equipment to check the physical fitness of candidates, and some basic intelligence tests are also conducted.

The results are not public, and everyone will be able to go home after the test and wait for the final SMS notification.

Today's young people's moral cultivation has generally improved a lot compared with the previous generation, and the recruitment office rarely encounters accidents, but the entire earth has billions of people, and tens of thousands of recruitment offices will occasionally encounter a few accidents.

Unfortunately, there was such a small accident at the recruiting office here today.

"Sir, let me test again, I really want to work for the umbrella company!"

"Sorry kid."

"Give me a chance!"

"You've run six recruitment sites in the same week, tested four times, and you can wait for the last round of recruitment in six months, or apply for another department."

The sound of intense conversation made the crowd of people queuing outside the door look curiously, and they saw a young man naked and sturdy in a temperature close to freezing, trying to go to the designated machine for testing, but he was stuck at the first review level.

The male soldier in charge of maintaining order did not let the young man take the test, triggering the aforementioned conversation.

The male soldier sighed continuously, and said to the young man in front of him: "Most people with 3D vertigo are born, even if you test it many times in a short period of time, the result will be the same, it is difficult for you to join the space department!" Sorry, you've been occupied for a long time, if you still want to test, you can choose an army unit, if you don't do a test, then put on your clothes and leave. ”

Bieber lowered his head as if he had lost his soul when he heard this, and the unwilling bitterness in his heart washed over and over again in his nasal cavity.

Even the strongest heart, after the verdict came down, collapsed into a fragile state.

At the age of 19, at an age when people have reached adulthood in the past, in the current era when the average person is entering 200 years old, he is gradually considered to be a child.

This novel perception is most prevalent within the umbrella company.

The female soldier on the side saw Bieber's pitiful appearance and felt a little unbearable, so she gave him a suggestion, "You can join the ground force first, and if you can overcome the illness in the future, you can apply to join the space department." ”

This sentence is like a ray of hope in despair, but 3D vertigo still makes Bieber's test more difficult to make up for the shortcomings equal to that of ordinary soldiers.

After completing the test, Bieber left the recruiting office apprehensively, as the two soldiers watched.

God played a joke on Bieber, but did not ruthlessly seal off all his paths.

Three days later, the notification of the approval was sent to his mobile phone, which made Bieber so happy that he went to confess to the girl he liked on the spot, and then was rejected as expected.

The depression didn't last long, and after saying goodbye to family and friends, Bieber headed to the airport full of anticipation, and flew to the headquarters of Umbrella Corporation in Colorado with more than 200 people who had also passed the preliminary test.

and the 50,000 reservists who passed the test at the same time, participated in a big wave of training, and then decided which unit the soldiers would be assigned to.

Bieber, who has a dream, trains extremely hard, and he never forgets that his dream is to go to space and become a space fighter pilot.

This dream is traced back to the early science fiction movies that his childhood and parents watched, and the veil of the unknown starry sky is being lifted little by little, but his dream is still far away, and it is not until he discovers the promotional video of Umbrella that he realizes that the original dream can be so close.

The winter of 2010 seems to be much more lively than usual, and Bieber has been trained in the training camp for nearly two years, and he has gone from a sturdy young man to a qualified soldier.

Although he is always trying to move towards his dreams, talent has always been a shackle that haunts ordinary people and is difficult to break free.

It's like it's hard for a person who is naturally short to be an athlete, and it's hard for a person with a physical deformity to live like a normal person.

Bieber, who suffers from 3D vertigo, is naturally insulated from the fighter pilots who need to gallop on a multi-dimensional plane, and most of the one-man fighters under the umbrella are already unmanned or remotely controlled, and the price of equipping a one-man aircraft with a life-sustaining system in the universe is quite expensive.

For a long time in the future, it is impossible to have a picture of individual fighters fighting in space like aerial dogfights in space.

During the training, Bieber's commander mercilessly ridiculed his idea and poured cold water on the young man with his dreams.

"Space is much better than the earth, if there are really aliens driving space warships to hit us, in space I don't know how far away, we may be discovered, there is no need to get close and fight with fighter jets, even if it really crashes together inexplicably, isn't there a drone!"

Bieber had a skeptical expression on his face, and the temperature of minus three degrees was not as cold as this sentence.

The commander seemed to think this was too shocking, and patted Bieber on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, at least you can work hard to get into the special operations unit, your talent is very good, if you join that unit, you may be able to see something you never imagined!" ”

This is the first time Bieber has really learned more about this special operations force, and the first appearance of this force is during the war on drugs, thousands of special operations force soldiers cooperated with security forces to carry out anti-drug operations around the world, killing a large number of drug dealers and seizing a huge amount of contraband.

During that period, various battle reports could be seen on the official website of the Umbrella every day.

However, it was not long before the functions of the special operations forces were revised, and some of the soldiers were subsumed into mercenary companies set up specifically for the purpose of fighting gangsters and evil.

The other part of the soldiers of the special operations forces disappeared and gradually came out of the public's field of vision.

This winter, Bieber participated in the selection test for special operations forces, and he was not really interested in special operations forces, but his comrades-in-arms were all happy and encouraged that he passed the preliminary review.

Because he couldn't live up to the expectations of those people, Bieber did his best, and finally snatched only 300 places out of 2,800 top soldiers and officially joined the special operations force.

After joining the army, Bieber was assigned to a veteran named Kevin for one-on-one quick start.

Teaching by word and deed is a kind of learning, some people have a wealth of knowledge but it is difficult to teach it to others, and some people, even if they are not educated, can involuntarily impart a lot of valuable knowledge to others through their own personality that cannot be understood through normal means.

Kevin is such a person, his face has been in the killer world for more than two years of continuous assessment tasks, because he has seen too many outrageous things, his mentality is not as arrogant as he was young.

This kind of peace with a calm aura that belongs to a veteran is not light, and Bieber, a newcomer who has just entered the workplace, is not lightly shocked, and under the influence of Kevin, he gradually accepts some ideas.

Now that the functions of the special operations forces are being reformed, veterans like him have a lot to learn every day, because he has just returned from the killer world and has not yet received knowledge training, so Kevin is sent to take the recruits and learn and progress with the recruits.

Every day, Bieber follows Kevin on the NZT-48, learning all kinds of theoretical and combat knowledge, and skillfully operating various new weapons, often immersed in special scenarios built by virtual networks, and completing various outrageous combat missions.

Fight with strange-looking aliens, fight with a lot of monsters that look like large beasts but have to say they are bugs, and fight with robots.

A variety of battle scenes made Bieber, who had just joined the army, very uncomfortable.

These trainings always made him feel that there were a lot of inconsistencies, but because of the heavy courses and assessments that strengthened his brain, Bieber never had time to think about what was abnormal.

It wasn't until the spring of 2011, when the entire Umbrella Company's military units were mobilized, and Raccoon City, the City of Tomorrow, was subject to a mandatory curfew, that he learned about ......

Bieber put on the exoskeleton equipment, followed Kevin's big brother, boarded an armored personnel carrier, and was looking out the small window at the night with several members of the same team, and the convoy of thousands of meters, moving in the direction of Raccoon City.

Holding the heavy rifle in his hand and looking at the large transport planes and helicopters passing by the sky outside the small window, Bieber always felt unsure.

Although he has undergone arduous training that is not much easier than becoming a scientist, he lacks the training of actual combat after all, and has less adaptability to this kind of scenario.

The scene of a large-scale march is always a personal shock, and when the troops march to the Meimen Industrial Park, which has been cleared ahead of schedule outside Raccoon City, Bieber is shocked by some of the things he has only seen in the open space when he has only seen in hologram games.

For example, the AMP++ mecha, which has gradually moved to mobile fire platforms, and the cyborg that is crouching on the ground and wrapped in mechanical metal......

In addition to the ones he had already seen in the linkage virtual operations, there were some strategic weapons that he had never seen before.

Strangely shaped, exaggerated heavy tanks, square-shaped launchers, and gold-red humanoid robots......

In addition to these steel monsters that dazzle Bieber, there is another formation that catches his attention, and that is an army composed entirely of "giants".

Saying that they are giants is because of the average height of two meters two, coupled with the exaggerated dimension of the muscles that are difficult to hide even in combat uniforms, making them like muscular men with equal proportions.

Because the proportions are too normal and natural, it looks like a new species......

The strongest human Bieber has ever seen is Big Brother Kevin, but compared to those "giants", Big Brother Kevin is a head lower.

When the order was given, the silent large procession began to move slowly, and one car after another drove forward.

Bieber, who stayed in the armored personnel carrier, didn't know until the moment he passed through the portal that they were about to embark on a tragic battlefield.
