Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Hafa time: September 17, 2018.

At this time, six Earth days have passed since the reconnaissance force led by William came into contact with the abnormal phenomenon code-named 'Shadow'.

The Ordnance Engineering on the outskirts of Halfa was instructed to begin mass production of silver ammunition, which was transported by Athena on a frigate of the First Fleet.

The frigate arrived in low-Earth orbit of Kepler 22-b on September 14 and transported silver munitions for ground forces.

As a person who needs to participate in the war, Athena was ordered by William to stay in the operation base station, waiting to participate in the containment operation soon.

The frigate responsible for transporting ammunition made another jump jump on September 15, returning to the First Fleet stationed in the solar system.

During the period from the 11th to the 17th, the engineering team belonging to the Zero Fleet was not idle either.

The engineering team dismantled four Pelicans and a large number of Warthogs, passed through the narrow tunnel of the gate, and came to the planet that is considered to be a desert for reorganization.

At the same time, the engineering team also dismantled three assault MSs and a specially equipped MS and transported them to the desert planet for reorganization.

This is one of the reasons why the ammunition has been arriving for three days, but William has not yet issued a containment operation.

——

…

Location: 'Desert Planet'.

At this time, the pyramid that had the exit of the gate and was about to be engulfed by yellow sand had been transformed into 'beyond recognition' by the Umbrella engineering team.

The engineering team used their unique stunts to simply transform the nearby landforms and build a mobile base station around the half of the pyramid.

There are assembled Pelicans, Warthogs, and four MSs in the base station, as well as several simple buildings for fighters to garrison and rest.

The combat conference room of the mobile base station;

Dozens of lieutenant- and colonel-level officers in Umbrella uniforms, three members of the Spartan Blue Team, and Athena, who was specially invited, were sitting on folding chairs and following the next operational instructions.

William, the boss, and Serena, his secretary and assistant, stood at the front of the battle room.

Although this mobile base station is too simple compared to other bases, it is still equipped with due equipment, such as a holographic imaging device.

An image of a planet emitting a faint yellow light 'suspends' in the combat conference room.

Serena put her hand to the planet and explained: After the launch of the four Pelicans, it is concluded that the boundary we are in is still a terrestrial planet.

It is located in the habitable zone of the star system, with an ocean area of ​​about 64%, a large amount of algae to produce oxygen, and a large area of ​​rainforest landforms on the southern continent.

As for the star system where it is located, it is not in the Milky Way, it belongs to an extragalactic galaxy, and it is a location that the transition engine cannot reach.

Having said that, the image of the rotating planet was stagnant and focused on the large desert area in the northern hemisphere. The green dot marked by Serena was the area where they were located.

The black framed area on the south side of the green dot is the abandoned city that the reconnaissance team entered before.

Continue to look to the south, and you will see an area marked in red.

Everyone, after the Pelican's scanning and reconnaissance of the entire planet, an apparently abnormal phenomenon...'building' was found.

Please see.

The holographic imaging gathers the red area, enlarges it, and finally presents another city that has been abandoned.

In the center of the city, there is a 'meat ball' that occupies nearly one-third of the city's size.

This is why when Serena said the word 'architecture', her facial expression was a little uncomfortable.

Through the reconnaissance equipment carried by the Pelican, you can clearly see the street scene in the city and what the 'meat ball' is.

I saw a large number of 'shadows' gathered in the city, and they seemed to wander aimlessly.

Of course, there are many 'human beings' in tattered clothes, dragged by these shadows to that giant 'meat mass'.

The humans after that were pressed to the ground by a large number of shadows, and then the shadows took out the hearts of those people out of thin air.

Out of thin air, without cutting a person's chest cavity or digging out with brute force, it was completely taken out of thin air.

The heart was thrown into that 'meat mass' by the shadow, absorbed, and fused.

While the shadow took out those human hearts, the 'meat ball' was still producing new shadows.

It seems that as William had guessed, this anomaly is somewhat similar to ***1983, using the heart and light to reproduce.

Despite seeing such an incomprehensible and unbearable scene for ordinary people, the facial expressions of the officers, Spartans and goddesses present hardly fluctuated.

Because they guessed more or less that the giant 'meat mass' was the source of the abnormal phenomenon.

Then just destroy the source.

This is the first thought of everyone here

Playing the document of the full video, Serena continued:

According to the information provided by the boss and the doctor, destroying the giant meat mass can completely eradicate this abnormal phenomenon.

All of you here are elites in the company and have beliefs that ordinary people do not have, so...

(looking at Athena sitting behind)

Therefore, one of the first conditions for combat is to pray to Athena devoutly in the heart, so that the 'shadow' can be killed.

Everyone nodded silently.

This condition is very simple for everyone.

It may be difficult to make them resemble an ethereal god, but Athena, who is also a god, is sitting behind them alive, and is still a 'colleague'.

Immediately afterwards, Serena took out a spiked bullet from her uniform pocket and said:

Because of the nature of these anomalies, only physical ammunition made of silver can effectively kill those shadows.

Therefore, the use of plasma and beam weapons is not recommended.

Having said that, Serena looked around at everyone and said, Is there any problem?

Yes. A lieutenant colonel looked at the A4 computer in his hand and asked:

Our ground forces are responsible for containing those 'shadows' and trying to rescue the indigenous people on this planet as much as possible, so what's the source of the anomaly?

You don't have to worry about this. William, who has not spoken, answered the lieutenant colonel's question for Serena:

I've been on standby these days just so that the engineering team can assemble and deploy the MS.

So the source of that thing is solved by me and the blue team driving MS, and the goddess Athena, you just need to ensure the safety of the natives as much as possible.

Any question?

. Everyone shook their heads.

Very well, now pass the order to your subordinates and prepare for action in half an hour.

Yes. All the officers stood up and saluted, and then left the combat conference room.

John also led Carl and Myron to leave the combat conference room to change the combat uniforms of the assault MS.
