Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Twenty-six hours later.

Inside the bridge of the Spirit of Fire.

Captain Carter sat on the main seat of the bridge, listening to various reports from the crew and commanding the various operations of the Spirit of Fire.

Mike was around the center console with his colonel and lieutenants, watching the dynamics of the earth displayed on the screen.

Now Umbrella's Marines, in addition to supporting agents and containment operations, also need to stabilize the situation in the Middle East and Africa with the United Nations to promote the integration of military forces around the world.

"Lieutenant General, the French 3rd Foreign Infantry Regiment stationed in Africa, hopes to cooperate with the Kenyan base to carry out a clear-up campaign."

An officer with the rank of major reported.

Mike, biting an unlit cigar, listened to the major's report with microscopic eyes.

Then nodded and said, "Let the Kenyan base dispatch a heavy marine platoon equipped with CMC power armor to assist the most capable troops in France, just to show off the existence of new equipment."

"Yes, Lieutenant General."

"Um."

"Lieutenant General!" Suddenly, Serena's face appeared on the screen of the center console, and hurriedly said:

"Please send hell paratroopers to the multi-national joint scientific research station at coordinates 74°S, 89°W, where a highly threatening anomaly has occurred.

As for the agent who sent the distress signal, it was far away from the sub-research station, and considering the particularity of this anomaly.

I suggested sending a Pelican carrier technician to do a blood test on that agent, and I'm now forwarding her individual video and communication requests to the Spirit of Fire. "

Mike immediately took the cigar from his mouth, put away his casual face, and said solemnly, "Okay."

Subsequently.

On the screen of the center console, multiple video recordings of Rebecca in the scientific research station are played at the same time.

For example, Li Mu executed the two survivors, and the survivors mutated and screamed.

There is also blood everywhere in the scientific research area, etc., as well as Rebecca's self-talk, the introduction of this kind of thing (Thing).

And her intermittent pleas for help: "This... is... Agent Um-0414-7, the rank is... Soldier, I need the support of... Hell... Soldiers."

After a short period of time to understand the abnormal phenomenon to be faced.

Mike immediately responded to Rebecca: "Lieutenant General O'Donahue of the Spirit of Fire here, the support request has been received, and the Pelican will come to your location later, please stand by.

There will also be hell paratroopers at the research station, please rest assured. "

Immediately afterwards, Rebecca's communication gradually became clear and said, "Yes! Lieutenant General!

Please let the paratroopers going to the scientific research station ensure the sealing measures! This kind of thing can almost perfectly replicate the creature! "

"I already know, please be patient."

After the lieutenant general cut off contact with Rebecca, he first said loudly to Carter: "Carter! Let the Spirit of Fire go to the South Pole!"

"learn."

Then he ordered the officers next to him: "You have all heard and saw the abnormal phenomenon you are going to face this time, prepare various measures and carry out a clearing operation."

"Yes, Lieutenant General."

Time: June 24, 2010.

Location: Multi-national joint scientific research station.

03:12.

At this time, the scientific research station is no longer its original appearance, but is now fragmented, and there is no complete building.

There is even an artificially excavated snow pit in front of the main building of the scientific research station, where hundreds of 'corpses' that have been burned to black coal are piled up.

These corpses are of various shapes.

Some of the heads disappear, but the body has four arms and four legs.

Some have only the head, but the sides of the head have articulated limbs similar to spiders.

What is even more frightening is that some corpses have gaps in the abdomen, extremely long neck joints grow out of the abdomen, and there is a head on the top of the joint.

The dozens of red fuel tanks next to the snow pit indicate that someone used a large amount of gasoline to burn these 'weird-shaped' things into charcoal.

Judging from the corpse pile still emitting thick smoke, that person should have put these corpses into the corpse pile for incineration when the blizzard was about to end.

Sudden.

In the dark night sky that has gradually become clear, nearly a hundred 'meteors' have passed by, and these meteors are descending faster and faster.

Finally showed their true colors - individual airborne warehouses.

"Shh!"

"Boom! Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, the airborne warehouse 'landed' around the scientific research station.

"Boom—"

With the sound of the warehouse door popping open, the paratroopers jumped out of the warehouse one after another, squatting on the ground and guarding the surroundings.

At the same time, the communication also came with the command of their company commander:

"Guys, this anomaly has a strong ability to assimilate, always pay attention to the airtightness of their respective clothing.

And according to the information, there should be an agent left in the research station, but Serena could not detect his status.

May be dead or assimilated, so be careful. "

"Yes, Captain."

Then the paratroopers just started to split up.

Groups of six entered the ruins of the research station, looking for agents who may have died.

The paratroopers who were searching outside quickly found the snow pit where many corpses were piled up.

.

"Sir..." the paratrooper standing beside the captain sighed, "If these are the corpses of anomalies, does that mean that the agent is still alive?"

"I don't know." The captain was also shocked by the scene in front of him.

After all, judging from the data and intelligence, the anomalies faced this time are not comparable to the usual containment operations.

"Captain!" Another paratrooper's loud report came through the communication: "Our agent was found in the ruins, but we can't be sure whether he was assimilated by anomalies."

"receive."

Hearing that, the captain led several paratroopers into the ruins and rushed to the location of the surviving agents.

In the lobby of the main building of the former scientific research station.

Li Mu, who was covered in bruises and bruises, was leaning against the wall. His helmet and mask were long gone, and his face was covered in blood.

It seems that because the individual equipment is still working, he was not frozen to death by low temperature.

But he has multiple wounds on his body, and even if there are traces of the use of biological foam, it still causes him to lose too much blood and fall into a state of shock.

Since it was not certain whether Li Mu was assimilated, the paratroopers could only wait for the arrival of the technical troops and let more professional people handle it.

Item: The Thing.

Grade: Keter → Exafanistei.

Narration:

It was first discovered in a multinational joint scientific research station in Antarctica.

The individual cells of the project are both part of their life form and distinct separate entities.

Single cells/cell collections, two forms.

Each cell can act as an independent 'organism' and infect, assimilate, and imitate when deemed necessary by the creatures disguised by the project.

Project creatures are always focused on one goal, absorbing and imitating other life forms.

Once normal creatures are assimilated by the project, the project will have all the memories and abilities of the original creature, even emotions.

It has been demonstrated that the project cannot revive dead organisms, nor assimilate life in plant form.

{The species 'The Thing' comes from The Thing.

For those who haven't seen the movie, remember not to watch it alone at night, at least pull another pad to watch it together. }
