Chapter 144: Euro Manufacturing Plant
In the midst of intelligence officers like Leon and Buleiya and Europe's aftermath teams contacting victims' families one by one, a Yuyou with its optical camouflage deployed was flying eastward over Europe.
Inside the cabin.
Sui Bian, seated on the left side of the cabin near the cockpit, operated a paper-thin folding tablet, handling recent company affairs.
After Alekxia assisted Paris in completing the analysis of vampires and werewolves, she immediately returned to the Gobekli Research Institute to continue the god-making project.
With the analysis done, these two species no longer posed a threat, and the Red Queen accordingly downgraded the file rating to "No Threat".
As for the file of the Blood Demon Griffin, the Red Queen directly changed its status to "Eliminated".
Setting aside the plague that would fully descend in thousands or even tens of thousands of years, this incident is nearing its end.
The remaining capture work and aftermath for the victims no longer require Sui Bian's excessive attention.
Also in the cabin with him were his ten OriginalBody sons.
The OriginalBodies were sitting together whispering about something, occasionally uttering "Hmm, possible" or "What you said makes sense".
After all, Sui Bian had said five days earlier that he would take them to see something interesting.
The OriginalBodies had been itching for five days, so as they neared their destination, they fully exercised their imagination discussing what "that thing" actually was.
After approving the recent application, Sui Bian stowed the folded tablet into his suit pocket, yet saw a group of kids huddled and muttering softly; he merely chuckled and said nothing.
After all, they were just a bunch of underage kids.
Afterwards, Sui Bian closed his eyes to rest a moment, while the previously steady-flying Yuyou began to descend.
Sensing imminent arrival, the OriginalBodies fell silent and sat upright, while Sui Bian remained with eyes slightly closed, resting appropriately.
Soon, the sound of the landing gear deploying was heard inside the cabin.
Then came two "thud~" noises from below, indicating the Yuyou's landing gear had touched ground and stabilized.
Sui Bian opened his eyes and rose from his seat.
All the OriginalBodies also stood up, following their father to the waiting area at the cabin's rear.
With a "Qi~", the tightly sealed cabin door slowly unfolded.
"Hoo~"
As the cabin door opened just a thumb's width, the cold wind outside rushed in, causing the cabin temperature to plummet.
However, Sui Bian and the OriginalBodies did not mind the sudden temperature change.
Once the door was fully opened, the group stepped outside and the OriginalBodies realized they were now in a large military airport surrounded by mountains.
Looking westward, the airport's edge buildings connected with the mountain.
Such a structure gave the OriginalBodies a feeling that they could use the airport to enter the mountain's interior.
The mountain's interior?
Could there be a secret base inside the mountain?
Before the OriginalBodies could speculate further, a black shuttle bus drove toward their position.
The shuttle bus stopped in front of them and opened its right-side door.
Sui Bian stepped forward and entered the shuttle bus.
Seeing this, the OriginalBodies bent their knees and entered the shuttle bus, each occupying a row of seats.
Afterwards, the shuttle bus carried the group westward to the airport.
During the ride, Sui Bian, seated in front, turned his head and noticed these kids were sitting somewhat uncomfortably.
But this was unavoidable.
The shuttle bus, or most ground transport vehicles, are far less spacious than the Yuyou.
Turning back, Sui Bian felt a bit worried.
Being overly tall and sturdy is indeed troublesome in daily trivial matters.
"Looks like I need to prepare dedicated vehicles for them." Sui Bian thought.
Five minutes later.
The shuttle bus arrived at the airport, stopped, and opened its doors.
Sui Bian and the others disembarked, entered the airport, and took the elevator to the second floor.
The airport's second floor still bore Umbrella's typical decoration style.
The white floor tiles, polished by cleaners to mirror-like shine, had a row of huge glass windows on the east side, allowing sunlight to fully pour indoors.
The staff here were bustling, as if something major were about to happen.
Meanwhile, Sui Bian and the others moved through the airport's second floor heading westward, toward the mountain's interior.
"Father." Robert glanced around at the hurried scene and asked, "Which base or research center of the company is this?"
Robert and his brothers had visited most of Umbrella's bases and research centers, but this was their first time here.
"Euro Manufacturing Plant." Sui Bian did not deliberately conceal it.
Euro Manufacturing Plant?!
Having their doubts cleared, Robert and his brothers all wore expressions of "Now I see".
The Euro Manufacturing Plant can be said to be Umbrella's most mysterious facility and also its most outstanding in performance.
It has produced two Ghost Sky Carriers for the company, sixty-four Yuyous, and various derivative next-generation attack fighters, interceptors, and aerial support gunboats.
It is said…
It also oversees the construction of Umbrella's latest-generation Sky Carrier.
!
Upon thinking of that last point, Robert and his brothers' eyes lit up with great interest.
A few months ago, they had boarded the Ghost personally overseen by Carlos and spent a week living at high altitude.
The sense of novelty has not faded to this day.
"Father, could the interesting thing you mentioned earlier be the new-generation space sky mother ship the company is building?" Robert asked.
"It's already completed space sky mother ship." Sui Bian replied with a light smile.
!!
Already completed?!
After receiving Sui Bian's personal confirmation, the OriginalBodies became a bit uneasy.
You should know they are at the age that is exactly the most "otaku" stage.
In their usual downtime, the OriginalBodies are also part of the "otaku male" crowd, enjoying surfing the web, watching movies, playing games, and reading manga.
No matter how mature they get, they still can't escape the law that "men remain boys until death."
Cannons, warships, and mechs are what the OriginalBodies are currently most interested in.
"Hey, John, do you think the new mother ship can go into space?"
"You dare ask John? He only ever says 'uh'."
"I guess… it should be able to go up." John, however, replied with that.
"Brother! You're not giving me face!"
"Hahaha!" The group of OriginalBody brothers burst out laughing.
About to see a bigger, stronger new mother ship, this directly maxed out the OriginalBodies' anticipation; each of them could hardly hide their excitement as they discussed it, even joking around.
Walking ahead, Sui Bian gave a slight, helpless shake of his head, as if wondering when these kids would grow up.
Soon.
The group arrived at the end of the spaceport.
This is a rail train station built inside the mountain.
Not long after, a train made of three carriages arrived at the station.
After the train unloaded its original passengers, the father-and-son party, together with the employees waiting on the platform, entered the carriage; then the train carried everyone into the tunnel, speeding toward the construction factory inside the mountain.
