In the universe of the asteroid belt.
Assis was quickly swallowed by a "sun" with a diameter of twelve kilometers.
In the artificially excavated living areas, entertainment areas, mining areas, and even the mining areas, the unknown spacecraft that was the source of everything was instantly "vaporized" and "evaporated."

…
at the same time.
District 09 of Kogler City in the early morning.
Near the space door.
In the exclusive cabin of a large transport boat...
[The intelligence agent Lin Shunsheng under the host was detected and the last remaining "Thing" species in the main universe was destroyed.
At the same time, based on analysis and judgment based on its abilities, this species is classified as an abnormal creature between the "Hera (third)" level and the "Isifantis (fourth)" level.
Therefore, the host is given 35,000 points. 】
?
Sui Bian, who was sitting behind his fixed desk, was busy reviewing and approving documents related to Zero-One Universe when he suddenly heard a reminder from the system.
The Thing? ?
After hearing the reminder clearly, Sui Bian stopped focusing on the various screens on the desktop and looked at the Red Queen who had just "devoured" the machine and took over the supervision, transfer and other tasks again and asked:
"Help me retrieve the files of an intelligence agent named Lin Shunsheng."
"Yes." The Red Queen nodded.
After waiting for a few seconds, one of the screens on the fixed table displayed Lin Shunsheng's detailed file.
The file shows that this intelligence agent was born on April 14, 2045. His birthplace is Mars, and his parents’ ancestral home is Northern Hebei, Asia.
From 2045 to 2062, Lin Shunsheng spent his teenage years on Mars with his parents. It was not until 2063 that he left Mars and went to Earth to enter college after being admitted to the Third Military Academy jointly invested and built by Umbrella and the UNSC.
In 2064, due to his excellent performance, he was noticed by the person in charge of the company. The following year, he was transferred by the company to Minos Island to receive intelligence agent training.
Officially graduated in 2067. In the same year, Lin Shunsheng and four graduates of the same class were transferred to the newly developed Kalisto colonial system in accordance with the company's order to start a one-year internship period.
The internship will end in mid-2068.
In 2072, a war broke out between humans and the Covenant Empire.
After that, the remnants of the Covenant Empire tried to infiltrate and destroy all over the human territory.
It was during this period that Lin Shunsheng gradually revealed the qualities and abilities of a top intelligence agent. He secretly destroyed many infiltrations and terrorist attacks from the remnants of the Covenant alone or in cooperation.
Therefore, the files also show that Lin Shunsheng was called the "Judge of the Night" by his local colleagues.
In 2081, Lin Shunsheng registered his marriage to a woman named Ji Ruth von Brown, who was also a C-level employee of Umbrella and served as the director of the emergency department at the company's general hospital in District 19 of Calisto City.
However, due to their special status as intelligence agents, the wedding was not held.
"Chairman..."
Before Sui Bian had finished browsing Lin Shunsheng's files, the Red Queen spoke to him:
"In the Calisto galaxy where Lin Shunsheng is located, there is an asteroid mine called Assis, which is managed by Horner Mining. It was destroyed by an artificially overloaded nuclear fusion reactor.
In accordance with the orders of the local intelligence department, Lin Shunsheng secretly sneaked into the Assis mine eleven hours ago to assist intelligence agent Elena Charles in the investigation.
Later, the Assis Mine was deliberately blocked twenty-two minutes ago, causing the local intelligence department and two intelligence agents to lose contact.
Chairman, based on the information I have and my judgment, I can confirm that Lin Shunsheng and Elena Charles, as well as all the people living on Assis, are dead.
And based on the existing information, it is impossible to analyze the whole story of the Assis incident. However, Joel Miller, director of the local intelligence department, said that they will investigate as much as possible and give the company an answer. "
die?
Sui Bian blushed, then looked at the screen, and swiped down with his left hand to bring the files displayed on the screen back to the top.
Looking at the half-length photo of Lin Shunsheng, who was wearing Umbrella's black uniform and always looked lifeless, Sui Bian was silent for a while and said:
"Okay, I understand. There is no need to interfere too much with the local department's investigation, but there is only one thing. The company will be personally responsible for the aftermath of Lin Shunsheng and Elena Charles, and convey this order to Director Joel Miller. .”
"Yes." The Red Queen promised again.
After the conversation ended, silence returned to the cabin.
Next, the eyes of the red and white queens kept flashing, indicating that the two of them were busy rebuilding another earth, as well as various supervision and company affairs.
Sui Bian used his absolute authority to retrieve all the information about the Assis incident for review.
But everything is as the Red Queen said. If we only look at the existing data, it is indeed impossible to analyze the whole story.
But Sui Bian could hear the reminder from the system.
Since there are troublesome species like the Thing raging, Sui Bian can boldly guess that the internal situation in Assis is already quite serious, and in order to curb the spread of the Thing, Lin Shunsheng had no choice but to use an overloaded nuclear fusion reactor to prevent it. future trouble.
At present, human beings are already familiar with the application of "nuclear".
In terms of using relatively "green" and "environmentally friendly" nuclear bombs to explode mines, or using nuclear fusion to provide energy, after all, as early as the 1960s, the Soviet Union had used nuclear bombs to build reservoirs and "extinguish fires" with nuclear bombs. .
In addition to overloading the nuclear fusion reactor...
In fact, Umbrella is fighting anomalies, demons and alien forces all the time, so there are many excellent intelligence agents, agents and soldiers who are paying their precious lives every moment.
Sui Bian will feel regretful and sad when these employees sacrifice themselves for the sake of humanity, for relatives and friends, or for employees who just want to complete their tasks.
And all he can do is say "thank you" in his heart and use the company's financial resources and influence to protect the families that employees care about.
As for the "special care" given to Lin Shunsheng, only Sui Bian himself understood the efforts of this intelligence agent, and this intelligence agent had killed one of the most troublesome and difficult races for humans to deal with——
The Thing.
This thing is also the most "weighty" childhood shadow in Sui Bian's previous life.
Although they both share the word "shape" with Alien, and both have "parasitic" attributes, these two species are not on the same level.
Take controllability as an example. After the Antarctic Pyramid incident, Umbrella began to study aliens, and now, it has also developed various weapons and tools using the acidic blood of aliens.
It's not that the aliens didn't try to escape, it's that they couldn't escape from Umbrella's base.
What's more, when the Plague Doctor was using alien samples to research vaccines, he "conveniently" developed a tranquilizer for aliens, making it easier for Umbrella to control it.
On the contrary, it is a strange shape...
Each cell is an individual, possessing all the memories and wisdom of the race they have assimilated.
When they are gathered and combined, they can perfectly imitate and replace the assimilated race. It is impossible to distinguish them based on their appearance alone, and they can only be tested with blood.
Even though they are as afraid of extreme environments as ordinary creatures, if they are allowed to escape Assis, they will spread rapidly and become more difficult to deal with than the Flood.
Until now, Sui Bian still clearly remembers that in the movie "The Thing", there is an assimilated doctor who can "make" a small aircraft by just relying on tools in the utility room.
As for the source of the "strange" that ravaged the Assis mine, Sui Bian didn't know. It might be a survivor of the halo matrix activated by the manager, or it might be a suppression from another space.
But with the result that they were completely exterminated and could no longer threaten humans, there was no need to investigate the past.

…
July 15, 2089.
The Callisto system, the second orbital colonial planet, the city of District 19 in the northern hemisphere.
Noon time.
In one of the green parks in District 19, there are many residents wearing light and breathable clothing.
Either take a walk, lean against a tree trunk, sit in the shade, take a nap in the warm breeze, or come to this park for a picnic with your relatives.
I saw a mother with a high ponytail and rare silver-white hair, wearing a dark purple dress, carrying a handbag on her left shoulder, holding her two children with both hands, walking towards the edge of the vast lawn.
The children are young, only five or six years old.
The boy has short black hair, while the daughter has the same silver ponytail as her mother. The two children have similar faces. They seem to be twins. They are also quite delicate and handsome. It seems that they have perfectly inherited the advantages of their parents.
They came to a deserted place under the shade of a tree.
The moment my mother let go of her hand...
"Mom~! The two of us are going to play first!"
The children said in unison, and then ran to the lawn impatiently, preparing to play with other children of similar age.
"You two, watch it!"
"I know~!"
Seeing the children running further and further away, the mother shook her head helplessly, and then she took out the folded light white picnic cloth from the hand basket.
Spread it out and lay it out.
At this time, the mother slowly squatted down, first kneeling on the picnic cloth, then tilted her body to the left, and sat completely.
Looking at her son and daughter who were bathing in the sunshine and already playing with other children, she couldn't help but smile.
only…
"Is this Mrs. Lin?"
The smile disappeared with a low voice asking.
?
Hearing this, the mother, or rather Lin Shunsheng's wife, Ji Lusi Lin, turned around and looked back, and found two men in suits and sunglasses standing on the sidewalk not far away.
Someone from the company?
Judging from the way he was dressed, Ji Lusi instantly understood that he was a member of the Umbrella Armed Forces.
As for the original surname of "Von Braun", it was changed to "Lin" because it was their custom to take her husband's surname. Although times have changed, no one will be forced to abide by it, but she personally insisted on adding "" to all kinds of documents. "Lin" word.
After all, Lin Shunsheng's work content is kept secret from the outside world, and even his closest family members have no way of knowing, and once the mission is carried out, he will completely lose contact with his family.
As a C-level employee of Umbrella, Ji Lusi naturally knew these matters, so she chose to change her surname to make her husband's presence more visible.
"Yes, it's me."
Ji Lusi responded to the inquiries of the two men in sunglasses, got up and left the picnic blanket, walked to the sidewalk, and said with a bad premonition: "Is it about my husband?"
A man in sunglasses glanced into the distance, and then said: "Let the children stop playing first, and then come with us for a walk."
"okay, I get it."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of helping her resolve her doubts now, Ji Lusi stopped saying anything more.
Next.
Ji Lusi and the others left the park, boarded a black airship, and drove away from the 19th District of the city.
During this period, the two children became playful and asked questions to the men in sunglasses sitting in the front and passenger seats, and the men in sunglasses patiently answered them one by one.
Ji Lusi, on the other hand, was worried and increasingly felt that something had happened to her husband.
About thirty minutes passed.
The airship took them to Area 01 of the city, then approached the Umbrella Building in the bustling area, and finally landed in the special parking area for the airship on the middle floor of the building.
Leave the airship.
They continued to follow the two men in sunglasses deep into the building and came to a large, spacious and bright conference room, and then...
"Wow!! Mom! It's the original body Russ!!" The two children couldn't contain their excitement and cheered.
In the conference room, I saw Joel Miller, several senior employees affiliated with the Intelligence Department, and Ruth, who was wearing a custom-made oversized formal suit with blond hair and a beard.
The automatic door of the conference room opened. The moment she saw Ruth, Ji Lusi couldn't help but look surprised, but the children became even more excited.
You must know that in today's children's animations and games, there are a large number of storylines that use the Primarch and the Astartes as the main characters.
To children, the Primarchs and Astartes were heroes and role models.
"Hahaha~!"
Seeing that the children were not afraid of him at all, Ruth smiled heartily, squatted on the ground and spread his arms and said: "Come! Children, come here, uncle will give you a gift each!"
"Mother…?"
The son and daughter all looked at Ji Lusi, as if asking for their mother's approval.
"Go." Ji Lusi forced herself to smile and nodded.
"Yeah~!"
Seeing their mother's approval, they quickly ran to Russ and hugged the carefree original body.
As soon as he let go, an employee handed Ruth a mahogany box.
Ruth took the wooden box, opened it, and took out two five-pointed star medals that seemed to be made of pure gold, and pinned them on the boy's and girl's clothes in turn.
Then he stood up, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it suits you two very well."
"Thanks Uncle Ruth!"
While Ruth was coaxing the children, Ji Lusi also walked into the conference room and sat behind the table.
Miller first put a paper contract and a confidentiality agreement on the table, pushed it to Ji Lusi, and said with a sad face:
"Mrs. Lin, you are also a member of the company. I won't explain what contracts and agreements represent."
As he spoke, Miller took out a thick pile of paper files with a large number of "■■" black bars and black blocks, and said sadly:
"These are just a few of the missions Lin performed. His sacrifice and dedication for humanity, for the colonies... and for you, should not and must not be forgotten, especially his children."
