Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

November 27.

Shield world surface.

At this time, the landing area where the alien first touched the ground in a one-time airdrop pod had already been built a surface base by the engineering team of the Zero Fleet.

It has a complete airtight building complex, and also has an airport for parking various types of transport aircraft, carrier-based aircraft or MS, and…

From the 21st until now, Keisha has continuously cast the holy barrier to prevent the flood from the shield world from entering the barrier area.

After all, no matter how strong the infection ability of the Flood Devil is, it still needs physical contact, so it is a physical attack, not a more mysterious spiritual attack.

So the most effective isolation solution at present is the sacred barrier cast by Kaisha.

Fortunately, Keisha can also use her barrier while sleeping, just need to replenish the heat needed by the body in a timely manner.

Otherwise, she would not be able to persist until now.

As for the Flood, who was blocked by Kaisa's barrier at the edge, after confirming that he could not enter the barrier, he canceled the unnecessary attack on the barrier, and just hovered on the edge of the barrier to monitor.

It seems that in the face of Kesha's barrier that can reject physical attacks, even the corpse-brain beasts that are aggregated from races such as million ghost-faced beasts, grunts, and jackals cannot be solved in a short time.

It may also be that the intelligence quotients of these Star Alliance races are not high enough. Otherwise, why would the flood demons in the wild stage like to use humans to aggregate them into primitive ghouls?

Like Captain Keith in Halo: CE, or the Flood in Evolution: Mona Lisa in the dynamic comics, dragging the pilot who will drive the Pelican and throwing it into the original gravemind middle.

Of course, this is just a joke.

After all, according to the Chinese proverb, Three stinky generals are the best Zhuge Liang, not to mention that this corpse brain beast is composed of millions of brains.

Facing the sacred barrier that can defend against any physical attack, even the most primitive ghoul made by the pioneers, Primordial may not have a solution.

During this time.

Rebecca and Halsey, who have been staying on the Star Destroyer, are also studying the technician's report on the clone.

Finally, it was learned that the Graveminds had used their neurological attainments to deceive Elizabeth Green, who had brood consciousness.

At the beginning, the clone's spinal cord was instantly emptied by the Flood, the infected body, and then the infected body parasitized the Flood's spores in the spinal cord, but the Gravemind did not mutate the clone, and let the Flood, the infected body, collapse on its own .

In this way, Gravemind successfully deceived Elizabeth Green.

It can be seen that if there is no reminder from Halsey, once the seemingly innocent clone is recovered, the consequences will be disastrous.

but…

The Flood spores parasitic in the spinal cord of the clone still couldn't escape Kesha's barrier purification.

However, judging from the parasitizing incident of the clone, William and the other leadership clearly realized that this mature corpse-brained beast must not be underestimated.

…

27th.

10:20 o'clock in the Atlantic Ocean.

The area of ​​the surface base is exactly the state of the shield world falling into the afterglow of the setting sun.

A sealed building located in the center of the base, on the second floor, a combat conference room with holographic projection.

The various unit commanders sitting in folding chairs wore black combat short sleeves and combat trousers instead of ceremonial officer uniforms.

Sitting in the back were the four Primarchs sitting on a mazar, Sa'om who was also dressed in black, and commanders of many elite races.

In order to be able to communicate smoothly, everyone wears a headset in their right ear, which is used to translate the languages ​​​​of humans and the Star Alliance.

At this time, standing on the podium at the front of the combat conference room were William and Serena.

Just seeing Serena glanced around at everyone, then stepped forward and waved her hand to control the holographic system in the combat conference room.

Immediately afterwards.

The holographic imaging of the shield world is presented at the front of the combat meeting room, and it is enlarged under Serena's control.

Finally, 40 kilometers to the north of the surface base, a huge turbid lake appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone. Serena waved her hand towards the giant lake, and said softly to the officers of the two races:

Through the data stored in the city of fraternity, as well as the fleet's comprehensive scan, we can know that in the center of this huge lake, there is an entrance that can go below the surface.

Carl was a little confused: Below the surface?

That's right.

Serena nodded slightly, and manipulated the holographic system in the combat conference room to generate another holographic image.

This image is exactly the 3D version of Shield World.

The 3D imaging map first rotates, and then turns into a blue and white analytical map, so that everyone present can understand that there is still a huge space under the shield world.

Serena took this opportunity to continue explaining: According to Dr. Catherine Russell's interpretation of the ruins, I learned that the center of the shield world is an artificial sun built by the forerunners.

There is some kind of Dyson sphere-like device outside the artificial sun to provide energy for the entire shield world.

Moreover, according to the data stored in the City of Fraternity and the scanning results of the fleet, the Covenant and the Flood have not yet been able to invade the shield world.

This means that we can preemptively gain control of the Forerunner's Dreadnought.

Be the first? Hearing this, Myron suddenly asked with some doubts:

Serina, we have wiped out the Star Alliance in this galaxy, who else can compete with us for control?

The Flood. At this time, William walked forward slowly, and glared at Myron with a little anger, and explained for Serena:

In the detailed information about the Flood I released to you earlier, it was clearly mentioned that the Flood will have four stages, namely wild, mutual aid, interstellar and super galaxy.

The current Flood on Shield World has completely passed the wild stage, and has evolved into a highly intelligent Gravemind Beast.

The Flood at this stage will not only infect creatures, but also buildings and vehicles of any kind. They can also infect and manipulate them, allowing them to enter the interstellar stage.

The Flood Fleet that fought against the Star Alliance Armada a month ago was the Flood Fleet controlled by the Primal Gravemind.

Now, the Gravemind is fully grown and fully capable of invading the Forerunner's dreadnoughts.

So currently there are two solutions.

One is to find the location of the Gravemind Beast, and send elite troops to kill it, so that the Flood in the shield world can return to the wild stage.

But after several days of comprehensive scanning, our artificial intelligence still couldn't lock its location, so we had to abandon this plan.

The second is to use our special identity as humans to enter the shield world through the entrance of this lake and control the Dreadnought Fleet.

Control the dreadnought fleet to sail out of the shield world, then withdraw the troops on the surface and near earth orbit, and finally launch quantum bullets to completely destroy the shield world.

In this way, the corpse brain beast will be directly annihilated in the 'white light' of the quantum bullet.
