Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Due to the influence of an abnormal phenomenon code-named 'Shadow', the special plane driven by William and Serena disappeared on September 17th on an terrestrial planet in an extragalactic galaxy.

Caused the Zero Fleet to be in chaos for a short time.

However, as a member of the board of directors and Mrs. William, Halsey temporarily took charge of the command of the Zero Fleet.

Moreover, Halsey's prestige was only lower than that of Andre and William, so the Zero Fleet did not have any complaints and accepted Halsey's command very obediently.

The first thing Halsey did when he took charge was to immediately put Cortana in control of the quantum communication device on Infinity, so that the news of William's disappearance would not spread throughout the company.

Then Halsey used quantum communication to contact the Troy base that was also equipped with quantum communication devices, and had a secret conversation with Andre.

Halsey informed Andre William of the disappearance, hoping that the veteran would be ready, and if necessary, unite all the people loyal to the Russell family to deter by force.

Although all the employees of the company are extremely loyal to William, but William suddenly disappeared, coupled with many large enterprises coveting Umbrella technology, it is very likely that they will suddenly attack at this node.

After all, the previous Umbrella was too 'overbearing' and overwhelmed the rest of the company.

As the saying goes, while you are sick, it will cost you your life.

No matter whether it is a capital enterprise or not, interests always come first. Even if everyone is a cooperative 'friend' one second, the next second can become an 'enemy' who stabs them in the back.

Therefore, the information of William's disappearance was only known to a very small number of A-class employees, except for the Zero Fleet, two directors, and veterans and officials loyal to the Russell family who were involved in the containment operation.

Among them was Michal Victor, who was promoted from captain to colonel and one of William's confidants.

So when William and Serena appeared on Mars, Victor did not show too much surprise, but ecstasy and excitement.

As long as the boss comes back, the predicament the company will face will disappear, and those companies and organizations of the younger generation will not pose a threat at all.

And before William and Serena got the help of Doom and made their way back to Mars, the last thing Halsey had to do with the Zero Fleet was to deal with the indigenous people they had discovered from extragalactic systems, and What to do with Kepler 22-b.

First, with the assistance of Cortana and other artificial intelligences, a comprehensive search of the planets in the extragalactic system was carried out.

Analysis by Halsey and a number of researchers concluded that the planet's only remaining natives had a simple language, but no writing.

Through body composition and blood tests, it was found that the indigenous people were similar to humans, and they were genetically very similar to the Indians of the Americas.

It is speculated that the planet where the indigenous people are located was originally a colonized planet of Kepler 22-b.

However, it was attacked by the shadow anomaly, and the erosion of the unknown plane with the parent star Kepler 22-b caused the colony galaxy to completely lose technical support.

Eventually, the population of the colonized planet plummeted, the civilized society disappeared, and the accumulated knowledge and knowledge was only about how to survive the shadow attack.

Halsey asked the Spartan black team and its affiliated artificial intelligence, as well as a large number of researchers and shark paratroopers, to temporarily stay on the planet to assist these natives in rebuilding civilization.

It was during this time that she learned of William's appearance on Mars through Andre.

Knowing that William hadn't disappeared completely, and had somehow returned to the solar system, the demoralized Zero Fleet finally came out of the shadows.

Halsey then let the Spartan Blue team's artificial intelligence, Cortana, temporarily take over everything on Infinity and continue to supervise Kepler 22-b.

She was escorted by the red team and the white team, took a frigate to make a jump transfer, and immediately returned to the solar system to meet William.

…

Hafa time: September 18, 2018.

Location: Mars Fortress.

A few minutes after William, Serena, and Doom appeared, a Pelican, which was routinely patrolling nearby, came to the location of the three according to Victor's order.

Although Doom didn't say a word, he still cooperated aboard the Pelican.

Immediately afterwards, William and Serena drove a special plane and returned to the Mars fortress together with the Pelican carrying Doom.

In the cockpit of the special plane at this time.

William saw through the panoramic screen not far away, the 'Mars City' that had expanded several times in size, as well as the steel fortress on the edge of the city.

Boss. Serena, who was sitting in front, reminded him: The tower of the fortress, let's go to the seventh gate.

okay.

William's mind retracted from the spectacular city scenery, and he controlled the special machine to come to the sky above the steel fortress, and slowly descended into the seventh gate that had been opened.

The Pelican carrying the Doom Warrior entered the sixth gate.

The gate is closed.

supercharged.

And with the assistance of the robotic arm, the special machine and the Pelican came to the giant hangar of the fortress.

Opening the cockpit door, Serena and William successively landed on the ground using cables.

As soon as he landed, Victor, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward without revealing too much information about his disappearance, but said solemnly with a little emotion:

Boss, welcome to Mars inspection.

William, who is already an 'old fritters', had long guessed that Halsey or Andre had concealed the information of his disappearance through the reactions of the soldiers in the fort and Victor.

Yeah. Immediately, he showed a faint smile, and he turned his hand to the Pelican, which was opening the hatch, and said:

There was a little accident on Kepler 22-b, so I came to Mars with our important customer first.

client?

Victor and a group of officers and soldiers turned their attention to the Pelican, which had opened the rear hatch.

I saw the destroyer wearing the dark green consul armor, stepping out of the cabin and coming into everyone's sight.

And William brought Serena and Victor and other officers to the destroyer.

It's just that before William could speak, Doom seemed to have a crush on the M41A in the hands of a marine, and immediately wanted to reach out and take it forcibly.

Dude! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!!

Fortunately, William quickly blocked the destroyer and the marine, pointed to the passage not far from the hangar, and said, There is a shooting range there, and you have all the weapons you want.

. Doom still didn't say anything, and didn't intend to stop his rude behavior.

Seeing this, William could only helplessly order Victor: Colonel, bring all the individual weapons in the fort!

Yes.

Victor, who was instructed, hurriedly asked his soldiers to carry the equipment boxes with weapons.

William took the Marine's M41A and handed it to the Doom Warrior to explain: The M41A pulse rifle has caseless blasting rounds that can be 'dismembered' according to the user's preferences.
