Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

When William issued the order to jump, the reports of the crew members also came from the bridge.

Not long after, the transition portal emitting blue dim light appeared at the front end of the Phantom.

Enter gently.

Another sparkling blue light spilled into the bridge.

But everyone has long been accustomed to this strange and beautiful scene, and they are no longer as excited as before, and seem to be a little tired of aesthetics.

In half a minute, the Phantom drove out of the transition space and came to the low-Earth orbit of Mars.

William still looked out of the porthole with his hands behind his back, and said to the two women standing beside him: "Let the Phantom hover over the Mars base."

"Yes, boss." (x2)

As the order was given, they coordinated the Phantom to descend through the not-so-thick Martian atmosphere.

William also left the center console and went to the porthole at the end of the bridge.

Just look at the Sidonia Plain "underfoot" getting closer and closer, and when it completely enters the atmosphere of Mars, it also completely lifts the veil of the city of Mars.

Different from the small urban agglomerations protected by domes in the Wine Sea Colony, the Mars City area covers a larger and wider area, and it looks more magnificent.

After all, no matter how thin the atmosphere of Mars is, it still has an atmosphere, which can slow down the impact of meteorites to a certain extent.

Small meteorites are wiped away when they enter the atmosphere and become dazzling meteors in the night sky. Even if they successfully enter the atmosphere, the dome that has been researched and manufactured with a lot of money can resist.

Large, threatening meteorites will be directly and remotely destroyed by the Ares and Hades stationed above.

But the moon...

The only way to resist those small and inconspicuous meteorites is to take the dome's hard resistance, so the wine sea colony cannot expand to Mars as fearlessly.

As for the Mars base, it is located in the north of Mars City.

The military base did not use a dome composed of pieces, but was built in the most hard-core way——

Steel, iron, titanium alloys.

From a distance, it looks like a super-giant steel fortress.

In terms of weapons, there are artillery of various calibers, anti-aircraft guns, missile launchers, and close-range artillery arrays with dazzling gunfire.

As for the new siege tanks and support craft such as the Pelican, F-X and B-65, they were parked inside the fort and could not be spied on.

The scale is more than ten times that of the Troy base, and it is the largest existing base in Umbrella and the base with the most investment.

Codenamed 'fortress'.

Within a few minutes, the Phantom was firmly docked directly above the base under the control of two artificial intelligences.

Seeing this, William turned around and prepared to leave the bridge.

While passing by the center console, he pulled out Serena's chip and put it in his pocket, and whispered to Cortana:

"Cortana, inform Colonel Victor that I am going to enter the fort to inspect.

The Phantom is temporarily under your control. If Dr. Halsey has any needs, please remind me as soon as possible. "

"Yes, boss." Cortana nodded.

Leave the bridge.

Coming to the deck corridor, William just put on his small headphones when he heard Serena's voice saying, "Boss, do you need all Alphas to gather in the hangar?"

"No." William shook his head slightly and said:

"Hank and the others also need to rest. Besides, all the colonies are Umbrella's territory. Let the boys of the blue team let me go."

"Yes, I have told the Spartans to go to the hangar."

"Very well, tell me the details of Mars again."

"Yes, Mars..."

During the conversation between William and Serena, they walked through the corridors and came to the hangar below the Phantom.

I saw a group of marines and paratroopers wearing black short-sleeved shorts, led by Hudson and Hicks, shouting neat slogans, running around the deck for training.

The three Spartans wearing Umbrella's black officer uniforms also stood by the Pelican waiting for William's arrival.

Myron still looked carefree, looking left and right.

Carl, who has long white hair, has a quiet appearance and is waiting obediently.

As for John...

Still a cold, unsmiling state.

After everyone saw William entering the hangar, they all stopped their work and prepared to salute him.

"Okay." William was the first to say loudly: "I don't need to salute every time I come, there are not so many rules on the Phantom."

"Yes." (xN)

"Haha." Just after he finished speaking, Hudson whispered to Hicks:

"What am I saying, the boss must be approachable, come, give money, you lose the bet."

After that, Hudson stretched out his hand with a mean smile.

"Hey...for you." Hicks showed helplessness, reached out and took out a crumpled note from his trouser pocket and handed it to Hudson.

William, who has excellent hearing, can hear the conversation clearly even if the marines are far away.

But he didn't say much. The more "flowing" marines on the Phantom, can make this place more alive.

He then boarded the Pelican with the Blue Team trio and let the Spartans wait in the cabin while he walked into the cockpit.

The Pelican has a large cockpit with good visibility and stepped seating.

The gunner sits at the forefront, the pilot behind.

William stood beside the pilot, clenched the handle on his right hand, and commanded in a low voice, "Take us down."

"Yes."

Following a brief conversation, the pilot steered the Pelican, guided by the ground crew with red glow sticks in both hands, to the elevator.

decline.

Enter the decompression chamber.

Decompression is complete.

to deliver.

call-!

After completing a series of procedures, the Pelican jiggled slightly and exited the Phantom's decompression chamber.

An alien scene in the Martian atmosphere comes into view.

But the pilot did not appreciate it, but controlled the Pelican to descend, and quickly hovered over the upper end of the fort.

And reported in a low voice: "Fortress, this is Eagle No. 1, request to land, it's over."

"Fortress received, please go to Valve No. 7."

"receive."

After ending the communication, the Pelican slowly flew towards the valve with the number 7 printed on it.

hover.

The valve is open.

decline.

The valve is closed.

supercharged.

A routine flight mission was completed neatly.

Through the window, I saw that the lift platform where the Pelican was located was translating and entered the huge warehouse inside the fortress, and then the lift platform descended and stopped.

Upon seeing this, William returned to the cabin and said to the three Spartans who had already stood up, "Follow me."

"Yes." (x3)

The rear hatch opens.

The four were greeted by a group of lieutenants in neat uniforms, as well as the commander-in-chief of the fort, Colonel Michal Victor.

Victor led a group of lieutenants to salute, and said to William with a bold smile: "Boss, long time no see."

"Oh, it's been a while."

William also walked out of the Pelican with a slight smile, came to Victor's side and said, "Take me around the fort and the city of Mars."

"Yes."
