Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Well, indeed.

After hearing William's words, Hokzer also agreed with his point of view.

Boss. At this time, Serena walked to William's side and whispered, The data has been copied all over.

Okay. William nodded lightly, looked at Hawkze and smiled:

Colonel, until we can determine whether this civilization is really gone, your colonial ships will stay here temporarily, and Umbrella's fleet will be responsible for your safety.

Hehe, don't worry, we won't leave until it's over.

As the commander of a UNSC fleet, of course Hawkze knew about the 'abnormal phenomenon', so he agreed very cooperatively.

Thank you.

William still responded with a smile, and took Serena and the USS off the bridge of the other's flagship, ready to return to the Infinity.

When William and the others left the bridge, an officer with the rank of major walked up to Hokzer.

Looking at the automatic door of the bridge, he wondered: Colonel, the secretary beside the boss... The pupils can actually glow? Is it some kind of black technology from Umbrella?

Who knows, Umbrella has too much technology beyond the current era, and the boat you are stepping on now was bought from them by the UNSC.

Having said that, Hokze returned to the captain's position and ordered all the crew members:

Everyone's attention, from now on we must fully follow Umbrella's schedule to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

Yes, Colonel.

…

Half an hour later, Infinity's combat readiness cabin.

William, Halsey, Serena, and a large number of technicians and fighters are changing airtight clothing and equipment here.

Although more detailed data has been obtained from the UNSC, Halsey still needs to lead her research team and land directly on the surface of Kepler 22-b to survey.

And William, who was already wearing the individual equipment of the hell paratroopers and was debugged by the technicians, also chose to land on the surface with Halsey and others.

While protecting Halsey himself, William also hoped to witness those ruins with his own eyes.

There are many people in this operation, not only the exploration team on the Infinity, but also the accompanying researchers of the entire Zero Fleet will land on the surface under the protection of the fighters.

After all, there are a lot of relics on Kepler 22-b, and multiple teams need to be surveyed and researched together to save time and improve efficiency.

The fleet's battleships remained in low-Earth orbit and were responsible for long-range fire support, as well as protecting the UNSC's colonial fleet.

When William and others returned to Infinity, the rest of the warships entered the atmosphere in formation and hovered over the continent of the northern hemisphere of Kepler 22-b.

Each warship went to the corresponding ruins, and the Infinity went to the larger complex of ruins, and was studied by the most experienced Halsey.

Speaking of Halsey.

She had put on a white sealed protective suit and a dark yellow engineering mechanical skeleton, and came to William's side.

The group of researchers who followed her, and Serena were also dressed like this.

In fact, Serena, who is equipped with a prosthetic body, is not afraid of any biological infection at all. The reason why she wears protective clothing is to prevent the human beings from feeling uncomfortable.

Immediately afterwards, a group of hell paratroopers, marines, and heavy armored soldiers who were ready to continue gathered in front of William.

Among this group of combatants, the Spartans in Thor's hammer armor are indispensable.

Seeing this, William didn't say anything unnecessary, just turned around and walked to the gate of the combat readiness compartment, waved his hand and said in a low voice: Let's go.

Yes.

Along with the reply from the communication, the ground crew also opened the gate from the combat readiness cabin to the fourth area of ​​the hangar.

The gate opened, and ten Mammoths with engineering shovels at the front of the hull were seen, which had already started their engines and waited for the crew to board.

At the same time, there are ten assault-type MS units, equipped with air combat backpacks, standing in the hangar as the escort aircraft for this reconnaissance operation.

A large number of people poured into the hangar and boarded their respective Mammoths.

After the boarding was completed, the Mammoth drove to the designated location in turn, and was sent into the lift cabin by the giant robotic arm.

As for the assault MS, there is no need for the assistance of the robotic arm. The pilots just use the anti-gravity system to 'float' to the platform of the elevator.

The gate connecting the lift cabin to the hangar closed, and a white mist-like disinfectant began to be sprayed in the cabin.

Since the atmospheric environment of Kepler-22-b is similar to that of Earth, no decompression or pressurization is performed in the lift cabin.

When the emerald green light was emitted, the platform of the elevator was separated from the hull of the Infinity, carrying the Mammoth and the Assault MS, and was exposed to the environment of Kepler 22-b.

The platform continued to descend, directly ignoring the trees and bushes at the bottom, and pressing out an area under its own weight.

When it stopped, the pilots immediately let the Mammoth and the Assault MS leave the platform and come to the surface of Kepler 22-b.

The platform rises, returning to the Infinity and being fully sanitized by the technicians.

Afterwards, the formation with a Mammoth and Assault MS set out to move towards the group of ruins that each needs to be surveyed and researched.

The Mammoth, carrying William and others, traversed this rainforest similar to the earth under the condition of storming the MS to clear the way and using the engineering shovel.

Not long after, the Mammoth and the Assault MS arrived at their destination.

Remnants of alien civilizations.

The Mammoth opened the hatch on the rear side of the car for William and others to leave the carriage.

The assault MS equipped with an air combat backpack turns on the anti-gravity system, cooperates with the thrusters to fly over the ruins, and is responsible for monitoring the entire area.

Gu~! Gu~!

唦~! 唦~!

Beside the dense shaded woods, there are unknown birdsong, and some small stuffed animals jumping in the grass.

William, who was wearing a pitch-black individual armor, was standing on the square made of flat stone bricks, looking at the rainforest behind the Mammoth.

Through the various functions of the mask, it is found that the jungle is full of life, and the appearance of many animals is similar to the species on the earth.

‘Otherwise, when NASA announced Kepler-22-b, someone called it Earth 2.0. ' William thought to himself.

I saw that the researchers and fighters in front of him were moving all kinds of testing equipment out of the carriage, and using the Mammoth as the base platform, they began to build an outpost.

As for Halsey, who had recovered to a 'scientific madman' again, under the escort of John and others, he went deep into the ruins and began to investigate.

Standing beside William was Serena, as well as several hell paratroopers belonging to the Madtooth Shark Company.

Boss, let's also enter the interior of the ruins. Serena said.

Okay, let's go.

William, who was admiring the planet, heard Serena's proposal, and turned around and took her and several paratroopers to continue to go deeper into the ruins.
