Time: October 1, 2007
Location: The sea area near Minos Island.
.
"Wow-~Wow-~"
On the vast blue sea surface, water waves will splash from time to time, making a hypnotic and beautiful sound.
Clear skies.
Sparkling.
"Wow!"
"Plop~!"
Several white dolphins, unique to Indian Ocean, jumped out of the water playfully and drew a semicircle in the air before falling back into the water.
If you have an inflatable lounge chair and a glass of sugar-free Coke with ice...
Hmm~
Simply heaven on earth.
"Boom-! Boom-!"
Suddenly, the roar of two engines resounded over the area.
I saw a black V-22 Osprey with the Red and White Umbrella logo printed on it, passing by the sea area where dolphins had just appeared.
The twin tilting rotors are deployed diagonally upward, flying at low altitude and low speed.
inside the cabin;
Sitting on the opposite seat were fourteen "'Children" wearing desert camouflage, short sleeves and long trousers.
Their backs are straight, their eyes are sharp, their faces are expressionless, and they exude an absolutely elite temperament.
The young men have neat hairstyles, while the young women have short hair that reaches their ears.
They are the children of Halsey who selected the most genetically superior humans among six million people, and are called Sparta.
But...
Calling them children now is slightly inappropriate.
Because the average age of Spartans is twelve years old, and their height is over 180 centimeters.
The body proportions are excellent, and the bare arms have well-developed muscle lines.
It's hard to believe that these Sparta are only twelve years old.
However, from the day Spartan Program was implemented, more than half of the T-Virus and vaccines stored in the Hive were consumed.
The physical fitness of each Sparta was completely destroyed by Umbrella's money, and safely and stably surpassed the peak of ordinary people.
Such as William personal visible combat value.
30 for adult males.
50 for army soldiers.
70 for special forces.
90 for UBCS.
120 is USS.
Hunk's basic value reaches 150, which is close to the peak of human beings.
Unmodified Spartans...
But it has reached more than 200.
However, if a Sparta and Hunk fight with bare hands, Hunk can still play tricks on these little guys.
After all, experience cannot be replaced by value, and Spartans still needs the baptism of war.
The three people sitting at the rear hatch have obviously more firm eyes than others, and they have overwhelming self-confidence.
The three of them are John, Karl and Mylon summoned by William.
John is much more mature than before, resolute and has short brown hair.
Mylon...
Mylon's face is a bit square, with splayed brows. Unlike other Sparta, he always maintains a serious expression.
Karl, sitting next to John, has extremely rare natural silver hair and light yellow eyes.
"Tap-tap-."
The sound of military boots echoed in the cabin.
Kent, who was wearing instructor-style black combat pants and short-sleeved shirts, put his hands behind his back and looked at each little Sparta as he walked.
The major, who was supposed to be serious and unsmiling, nodded slightly unconsciously, as if he was very satisfied with the current situation of this group of students.
"Beep-!" There was a sudden ringtone.
Kent looked up and saw the warning light above the cabin door was on. He quickly walked to the rear of the cabin, grabbed the handle firmly, and pressed the button to open the cabin door.
"Huh~" The salty sea breeze rushed in.
Kent first looked outside the cabin.
Seeing that the 'moving' sea surface was getting slower and slower, he finally hovered at forty meters, turned around and looked into the cabin and reminded:
"Bastards, it's time for you to swim back to Minos.
Hurry up, hurry up, don't wait there, go back early and eat early!"
Sparta stood up neatly and responded in the same voice as before, "Yes, Major."
At this time.
Mylon, who was also standing at the stern of the cabin, saw the height of the Osprey and asked loudly and seriously:
"Major! I have a question!"
Kent couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Mylon next to him speaking, and said with a slightly impatient look:
"No. 3, if you fart, hurry up."
"Yes!" Mylon organized his words and said sonorously:
"Major! This is Sparta's first attempt at 40-meter diving. If I break the previous record first, can...
Ah-~!"
"Plop--!"
Before Mylon could finish his meaningless words, Kent kicked him down.
It freely fell in the air, rolled around, and crashed into the sea with its feet facing down, causing a huge splash.
Flapping a few times.
Mylon's head emerged from the sea. He opened his mouth and spit out water with a look of despair. He raised his thumb with his right hand towards the osprey in the sky and signaled loudly:
"Major! The height of forty meters is completely OK, there is no danger!"
"Pfft... haha!"
Spartans who were gathered around the rear of the cabin couldn't help but smile after seeing Mylon's innocent look.
"Hey!"
Kent looked helpless, sighed, and whispered to himself, "You bastard."
The major did not emphasize discipline, but joked with little Spartans.
Everything must be reversed.
Relaxing at the right time is also beneficial to training.
Moreover, after more than half a year of getting along, Kent will inevitably be more tolerant of this group of 'Children who have been forgotten by the world.
.
"No. 7."
Karl came closer to John and whispered in his ear, "No. 3... doesn't he speak without thinking?
Haha, it makes the major angry every time, so stupid."
Hearing this, John first turned to look at Karl, then looked at Mylon in the water and said deeply:
"He's not stupid.
He just wants to add some fun to our boring lives."
"Huh?" The white-haired Karl tilted his head and looked confused, a little confused.
"Ahem, okay!"
Kent cleared his throat, turned to look inside the cabin and ordered, "Sparta! Prepare to jump in sequence... (interrupted)"
"Sir."
A pilot opened the cockpit door and quickly came to the rear of the cabin and said to Kent:
"Dr. Halsey requires that Sparta's training be temporarily suspended and let us return to Minos immediately."
?
Kent was stunned, but still nodded in agreement. "Okay, just return to the base as the doctor said."
"Yes." After receiving the instructions, the pilot returned to the cockpit.
After a few seconds, the hovering Osprey began to rise, preparing to return as quickly as possible.
But...
"Eh?"
Mylon, who was swimming in the direction of Minos Island, found an osprey flying over his head.
Could it be that the training content has been changed?
But, no other Sparta jumped down...
Mylon floating on the sea changed from confusion to confusion, and finally panic.
He quickly accelerated his swimming speed and shouted:
"Hey! Wait for me! Come back quickly! And... Oulu (choking on the sea water)...
Bah! I'm still down there!"
Meanwhile inside the Osprey cabin;
"Sir."
John raised his hand to stop Kent from going to the cockpit, and reminded him quietly, "You forgot number three again."
"No. 3... hiss..."
Kent raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, shouting in the direction of the cockpit, "Turn around quickly!"
