Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Wazefaq..."

When Hudson saw something that was obviously not naturally formed, he shook his head and couldn't believe it: "This anomaly... is it something artificially created by aliens?"

"It doesn't matter if it's artificial or not, it must be contained." As for Gina, she showed the sturdiness of a fighting nation and didn't care about the source of the abnormal phenomenon.

As the person with the highest authority on FC336, Hicks remained calm and asked Jones who was standing aside:

"When did you discover it?"

Jones, who had gradually regained his composure at this time, explained to the three marines: "It was three days ago, and in just three days, it caused the current situation of FC336."

Having said that, Jones played another video material.

The content is a group of chief corporate miners in protective gear who were originally on a digging mission, but inadvertently came to the hollow of the asteroid.

Due to the difference in air pressure, several miners were injured to varying degrees.

Then, the double helix-shaped 'beacon' appeared in the video screen.

One of the miners who was swept into the cavity by the air pressure flow happened to drift to the side of the beacon, and the marines who watched the video also estimated the size of the beacon in their hearts.

The height is about twenty meters and the width is five meters.

After the video was played, Jones continued: "Our scientific team found that this item seems to be continuously emitting some kind of carrier wave, so we call it a 'beacon'.

And such a large-scale collective suicide in the colony should be affected by this carrier wave..."

Speaking of this, Jones' forehead oozes cold sweat, and his eyes are a little dazed.

After a while, he said: "As for the decision to close the communication... it is the order of the supervisor, he knows that sooner or later you will discover the existence of the 'beacon'.

So I am going to discuss with you personally today, hoping to buy you off, or…”

"Or deal with us, right." Hicks answered with a heavy face.

"Yes..." Jones was a little embarrassed, but didn't deny it: "If it is according to the agreement signed with Umbrella, the 'beacon' will definitely be handed over to you.

But... the supervisor didn't want to do that. After all, I don't need to tell you the value of the 'beacon'. Of course, you are unwilling to give away the items you have. "

"Pooh!"

Hudson spit on the floor, walked quickly to Jones, used the robotic arm to pick him up, and said extremely angrily:

"Buying? This is his biggest insult to me!

and also! Because of your own selfish desires, you have actually caused the deaths of so many people, is he? I really want to bang you now! "

"Cough... corporal... we agreed..." Jones was so caught by his collar that he couldn't breathe.

"Hudson." Hicks raised his hand to stop Hudson's actions, and signaled the latter with his eyes, now is not the time to break up.

"Bang!" Hudson had no choice but to let go.

"thump!"

"Phew! Ha!" Jones, who fell to the ground, took a deep breath, and his flushed face was relieved a lot.

And quickly said: "That's what the director meant, I... I and many people are opposed to it, and now I just want to live... Live..."

Hicks stretched out his hand to help Jones up, and said coldly: "Don't worry, since I promised to keep you safe, I will let you live."

"We're not like you." Gina, who was guarding the door, echoed.

Hicks didn't want to be verbally insulting, but pointed to the center console and asked, "Mr. Jones, how is the communication?"

"Communication? Oh, yes...communication!"

Jones recovered from the trance, walked to the center console with a staggering pace, checked it and frowned:

"This... In addition to the password, the supervisor's ID card is also required, and all the escape boats have been destroyed! This"

Hicks frowned slightly and continued to ask, "What about your supervisor?"

"I guess, don't be next to that 'beacon'." Hudson shrugged.

However, Hudson's complaints just fell, and Jones, who operated the center console, said to Hicks:

"Sergeant, the location chip implanted in the supervisor shows...he's in the mine where the beacon is."

"Beautiful!" Hudson snapped his helmet and said with an embarrassed expression:

"Today, my mouth is really amazing, grass."

"Shut your crow's mouth." Gina glanced at Hudson angrily.

"Sergeant!" Jones looked flustered at this time, pointed to the giant screen on the center console, and stammered in fear:

"Beside the beacon...and...and..."

"What else?" Hicks got a little impatient and stepped forward to check the content on the screen for himself.

I saw hundreds of red dots flashing next to the location of the beacon, and on the right side of the screen was a series of names and employee number information.

It seems...

Those red light spots are the miners and employees who implanted the positioning chips.

"Sergeant Mary was there too. I saw her kill herself." Jones said mentally.

Then the chief employee stepped back again and again, pinched his head with both hands, crouched in the corner and began to go crazy, and said to himself:

"They. They got Mary's body and now want ours too"

"Sir, this guy is crazy too." Gina pointed the M56 at Jones.

"Hicks, what to do?" Hudson asked.

Hicks looked at Jones, who was gradually going mad, and said softly: "It seems that we are the only ones in the entire colony who are not affected by the beacon.

Not sure if the beacon's effects are permanent, but let's not just let him kill himself

(looking at Hudson) Tie his hands and feet and stuff him in his mouth. "

"it is good."

Hudson hung the M41A over his chest, took two plastic ties from his waist pocket, and bound Jones, who was completely delirious.

As for stuff in the mouth.

Hudson took Jones' shoes off, pinched the corners of his socks and pulled them off, clenched them into a ball, and forced them into Jones' mouth.

And smiled: "Hmph, enjoy yourself, bastard."

"Marines." Hicks walked to the door of the central control room, looked at his only two men, and ordered:

"The mission objective is updated, go to the location of the beacon, recover the identity card and contact the Mars base, understand?!"

"Haha!" (x2)

"Set off!"

Then the three marines left the central control room and returned to the original way, ready to change into the airtight clothing and enter the mine.

But when passing through the living area, the corpse that had committed suicide was long gone, replaced by bloody footprints.

"Isn't there a monster?" Hudson's face collapsed.

"Monster?" Gina, who was beside him, mentioned the M56 and said indifferently, "The Marine Corps only kills monsters."

"Oh, that's right." Hicks also laughed.
