Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

When: October 5, 2018.

Baghdad Time: 02:14.

Location: The bridge that houses the fleet flagship.

The center console shows a holographic image of the Middle East, and there is a large area marked red, then yellow, and finally blue.

with a string of numbers;

Infected: An estimated 970,000.

Potentially infected: an estimated 900,000.

Asymptomatic patients: an estimated 7.9 million.

Affected civilians: Estimated 12 million.

Andre, who was standing beside the center console, frowned as he watched the imaging and data. After all, the current situation had become 'somewhat' serious.

Two minutes after the UNSC launched a full-scale raid with Umbrella, serious divisions arose within the rebel chief.

Most of the warlords and politicians want to surrender, and in the face of the absolute superiority of the UNSC and Umbrella, defeat is inevitable.

Moreover, this group of leaders are also a group of people who cherish their lives. They say that they will die and die together. They just hope that UNSC can pay the 'ransom' well.

Buying 200 billion barrels of oil for $70 is a fantasy no matter which side you are on, but the price in the minds of the leaders is about 10 trillion.

It was just to bluff the UNSC before.

But the warlords also look down on the UNSC too much. Ten trillion is also a fantasy, so the UNSC will cooperate with Umbrella to carry out the raid.

In just a few minutes of the war, the rebels were divided into two groups, surrendering and fighting to the end.

The group of thoughts that perish together is simple, that is, let the old beauty pay the due price.

Obviously, the group of leaders who fought to the death won and released some kind of ancient biochemical weapon directly in the underground facility.

The 'biochemical weapon' was excavated from the Gobekli stone formation.

The virus spreads terribly through the air and relies on a large number of agile infectors, throwing the whole of Iraq into complete chaos.

Fortunately, the activity of the virus in the air decreases after an hour, and humans exposed to the air will not become diseased in a short period of time.

But in Iraq, even ordinary people and UNSC soldiers in the surrounding area have become asymptomatic infections.

That is to say, there is a virus in the body, which looks no different from ordinary people in appearance, and can be infected with this virus by contacting and talking with it.

Umbrella's troops possessed nanoserum, coupled with powerful disinfection technology support, so that the troops in the war zone could be safely withdrawn.

UNSC's peripheral troops also temporarily stopped entering the infected area, and assembled heavy troops to blockade in Jordan, Israel, Riyadh, Medina and other countries and regions.

Make every effort to prevent the spread of civilians, infected people, and asymptomatic infected people in the blocked area.

In the face of this unknown virus, Umbrella's nanoserum is very effective.

But even if Umbrella was on Earth and the pharmaceutical factory in the colony started at the same time, it would not be able to prepare tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of unit doses of nanoserum in a short time.

At least several months of production time are required.

However, with the existing UNSC and Umbrella military forces, it is impossible to completely block areas such as the Middle East.

Unlike Manhattan, which is an island, the Middle East can be described as inland, and it is also connected to Europe, Asia and Africa, and it is impossible to achieve a complete blockade.

And with the speed at which this unknown virus spreads, half a month alone is enough to infect hundreds of millions of humans with this virus.

Until the final promotion of nanoserum, the number of human deaths will be around 300 million according to artificial intelligence such as Tina.

Indeed, as the rebels said, this is really a 'world-destroying virus'.

.

Looking at the estimated 300 million deaths and the more than 20 million 'refugees' within the blockade area, Andre's brows tightened even more.

Hey…

In the end, the veteran sighed helplessly, and thought about whether to take the saturation bombing of the fleet and sacrifice a small number of people to save the majority of people.

General. At this time, Tina, who was standing behind Andre, reminded:

The boss and the doctor are about to reach the bridge.

William?

Katherine?

Hearing Tina's reminder, Andre also put away his sorrow and nodded: Okay, I see.

Shh-.

As soon as the words fell, the bridge's automatics turned on.

William, who was wearing a suit, led Halsey, who was wearing a white coat again, and John, who was equipped with Thor's hammer, into the bridge.

William. Andrei looked at William who was slowly approaching, and couldn't help but blame himself:

The failure of this military operation was caused by me. It seems that it is time for me to retire at this age.

Hey. William quickly waved his hand and said, Don't say that, Andrea, you are in your prime now! And you are highly respected in the company's army.

The failure of this operation was mainly due to the fact that the rebels who insisted on perishing together would actually hate the old beauty so much, which led to the leak of the virus.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, in the face of completely crushing strength, the rebels should have long since disarmed and surrendered.

Haha. Andre said with a wry smile: Okay, you don't need to say these words to comfort my old man, I would rather retire and live with Shia.

After speaking, Andre said to William again: You can see from your expression that you have a solution, right? Let's hear it.

That's right. William nodded without denying, looked at Halsey beside him, and then explained to his old father:

The severity of this outbreak is more than ten times that of Elizabeth Green, and time is not an ally on our side, so the spread of the virus needs to be contained as soon as possible.

In other words, eliminate all infected people in a short period of time, and distinguish those civilians as asymptomatic patients.

It's almost impossible. Andre shook his head:

I have no objection to the elimination of infected people, but detecting asymptomatic patients requires a lot of manpower and material resources. When an asymptomatic infected person is screened, more asymptomatic patients will emerge.

According to our human technology, it is true. William still smiled lightly: But for abnormal phenomena, they can be easily distinguished.

Anomalous phenomenon? Andre was taken aback.

Yes. At this moment, William no longer had a faint smile, but said with a gloomy face:

For example, Elizabeth Green, who was taken in by us, can sense every patient infected with the virus, and she must be the best to distinguish asymptomatic patients.

More importantly, if she can infect those 'zombies' that are raging in the Middle East, she may be able to assist the troops to eliminate them in a short time.

According to the Chinese idiom, 'fighting poison with poison'.

As for controlling the spread and defense of the virus, I believe the 049 doctor should give us a lot of valuable advice.

William... are you sure you want to use them?

Andre didn't object, but his tone was full of worry. After all, using abnormal phenomena to deal with abnormal phenomena is a bit risky.

Don't worry, these two anomalies will definitely cooperate with our actions, and they are already on their way. William said to himself.
