Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

19:55.

The originally scarlet sky in the barrier area, because of the night, made the interior darker.

Despite this, the northern sky is still illuminated by the huge crack in the former city of Cairo.

If you stand on the top of the dune and look up, the scene is the same as the apocalypse in various myths, legends and fables, and everything seems dead and silent.

But if it is quiet, you can vaguely hear screams and miserable howls.

"Om-."

At this time, the low noise of a large number of hydrogen engines resounded in the desert.

I saw a convoy consisting of Warthogs, traversing the desert on the east bank of the Nile River, moving fast in the direction of Suez.

Its target is Israel, which borders eastern Egypt.

They are still 40 kilometers away from Suez in a straight line, but if they look to the southwest here, they can see the bloody scene.

The fleet is only more than ten kilometers away from the city center of the former Cairo city.

In this position, if those giant Anubis stationed on the outskirts of Cairo want to observe carefully, theoretically, they should be able to find the existence of the convoy.

Especially at the rear of the convoy, Myron, who controlled the Gauss gun, was motionless in the southwest direction.

The same is true for Carl, who was in the co-pilot. She stood up and put the Gauss sniper rifle on the frame of the car, also aimed at the southwest.

After all, they have manipulated the divine body, but they know the ultra-far vision of the divine body.

Like a convoy of more than 30 Warthogs, in a vast desert, it is an existence that cannot be ignored.

John, who was focused on driving, did not glance to the rear, but asked in a low voice, "A-004 report."

Through the observation of the Gauss sniper rifle, Carl reported in a calm tone: "The one closest to us is keeping an eye on the convoy, but it is not taking action."

"Okay, A-004 continues to monitor the movement in the direction of Cairo. If they try to pursue and then fire, there is no need to alert them." John said.

"Yes." Carl nodded.

"A-003." Immediately afterwards, John ordered Myron again: "Pay attention to the movement around, and it is enough to have A-004 in Cairo."

"Yes." Myron immediately controlled the Gauss gun to swing to the other side, following John's instructions.

Afterwards, the communication fell silent again, and only heavy breathing could be heard clearly.

It's been a long time.

When the convoy was far enough away from the outskirts of Luo City that the boundary of the barrier in the distance could be seen with the naked eye, the stone hanging in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground.

For the Spartans and the hell paratroopers, it is not the fear of death, but the fear that they will encounter the blocking of those giant Anubis, which will make it impossible to transmit the information inside the barrier in time.

However, the accompanying UNSC and civilians were glad that their lives were saved.

"Master Chief." At this time, Cortana reminded John:

"I scanned the boundary of the barrier and compared it with the data we had before the airborne, and found it expanded by several kilometers."

?

Hearing this, John said in a low voice: "It seems that this barrier that can make the flight vehicle and communication fail is not static. We must solve this disaster as soon as possible."

Cortana, who appeared on the screen of the helmet, also nodded in agreement.

Then he said: "I think the boss and Dr. Halsey should have noticed this phenomenon before us, and now we just need to share the information we have."

"Um."

"Sergeant!"

Just as John and Cortana were talking, Michelle said excitedly in the communication: "I'm about to cross the edge of the barrier, please get ready."

The voice just fell.

The convoy passed through the thick 'cloud wall' in turn, and finally passed through this barrier to the outside world.

"Bhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kota… please answer."

From John's communication, there was also the intermittent voice of Serena, which seemed to be trying to establish a connection with Cortana.

at the same time.

Beyond the border of the barrier is the Israeli town of Sdebok, which is also home to the UNSC Army in mechanical skeletons and uniform dark green combat uniforms.

The UBCS to which Umbrella belongs is also stationed near the border to prevent any abnormal phenomena from rushing out.

There are also a large number of UNSC versions of "thumping" siege tanks, which have been turned into cannons and mounted on the rear front.

It seems to be absolutely blocking this land, not allowed to enter, not allowed to go out.

Of course, except for the reconnaissance team led by John and Michelle.

Many people in the convoy, especially civilians, UNSC soldiers and policemen, were excited to see such a large army.

It's just the afterlife for them.

Seeing this, Michelle and the paratroopers were also relieved, and after all, the reconnaissance mission was completed.

"Infinity." Cortana also contacted Serena after the communication was completely restored:

"This is Cortana. We have successfully obtained the details of this anomaly and are uploading it."

"Received, the Pelican is being arranged to assist you in returning to the Infinity." Serena said.

"Also." Cortana didn't forget to remind Serena: "The Master Chief and I believe that this containment operation should be supported by Athena."

"Okay, I will inform Athena of Minos that six Pelicans are expected to arrive at your location in ten minutes."

"Thank you." Cortana thanked.

After the conversation between the two artificial intelligences, the Warthog team also stopped in the front of the UNSC and UBCS.

Civilians and police officers were taken away by Umbrella technicians in white uniforms and administered amnestics after physical examinations.

Surviving UNSC soldiers will also need to be examined, and a decision will be made after the containment operation as to whether the memory needs to be cleared.

…

When: April 15, 2015.

Location: Infinity's large combat meeting room.

20:40.

In the conference room sat the school and lieutenant officers of the Hell Paratroopers and the Heavy Marine Corps, as well as the captains of the four Spartan squads.

Sitting in the center of the first row were William and Athena, who were also wearing military uniforms.

And standing at the forefront of the conference room is Serena with a prosthetic body.

She used the holographic projection in the conference room to present a schematic diagram of Egypt and the barrier area in front of everyone, and a large number of coordinates were circled on the map.

These include towns where ghost soldiers gather, and deserts on the outskirts of Cairo.

She raised her hand and explained: "Everyone, according to the information of the Spartan Blue Team's investigation, there are a lot of abnormal phenomena in these areas.

We have to deal with the god of the underworld in Egyptian legend and mythology, and it still exists in the plural form... Anubis.

In view of the fact that communication and flying vehicles can be interfered with in the barrier area, Infinity is responsible for airdropping paratroopers and heavy marines, and mainly for super-long-distance artillery coverage.

Ground forces, commanded by General Ostrovsky (Andrei), led the UBCS and UNSC armies into the barrier area from all borders.

Once the ground troops enter the barrier area, the construction of wired communication will be carried out as soon as possible to ensure smooth communication.

Estimated time for containment operations is 21:30. "
