Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Sergeant."

Soon, Cortana completed the scan, looked at John and said:

"The end of the passage ahead of us also appears to be a huge open space beyond my scan range.

Moreover, the environment here is also very different from the guesses of those experts.

The temperature is maintained at around 27°, and the oxygen content in the air is also slightly higher than the surface, making it a very friendly environment for humans. "

Having said this, Cortana turned to face the screen, looking at the people with wooden expressions:

"Master Chief, these people's physiological functions are normal, there is no abnormality, they are living people.

As for their unresponsiveness to the things around them, I speculate that they may have been hypnotized or mind-controlled. "

Listening to Cortana's report, John frowned slightly and said nothing.

Then he controlled the divine body to return to his standing position, removed the Gauss gun behind his waist, and started the thruster to continue flying towards the hole.

Then he said to Cortana in a low voice, "Cortana, what is the route back to the surface."

"I'm not sure yet, but if we want to retreat, we only have the option of going back the same way." Cortana turned to look at John, and waved:

"After the company acquired the technology of the Reapers, their race's anti-gravity system was broken, and our gods were equipped with anti-gravity capabilities.

So with thrusters and antigravity, an altitude of forty-five kilometers is no problem, but I'm not sure if we can actually get back to the surface. "

"Okay." John nodded and said, "Then continue to monitor and scan the environment here, and provide research materials for Dr. Halsey."

"Yes."

.

Then John began to concentrate on driving the divine body, increasing the power of the thrusters, and using the anti-gravity function as an aid, to quickly go to the huge tunnel that was five hundred meters high and wide.

Enter the tunnel.

On both sides of the bottom of the tunnel, there is scarlet magma similar to the outer space, which provides lighting here.

During the flight, John looked down through the screen and found that the group of dull humans were still lined up in an orderly manner towards the end of the tunnel.

"..." But John didn't say anything.

From the moment he became a Spartan, he encountered all kinds of weird creatures, events and objects.

And the group of human beings under the god body are still 'normal' to some extent

After all, it will not suddenly mutate, or there will be extremely high hostility.

It didn't take long for the light at the end of the tunnel to get closer and closer, and finally the Divine Body carried John and Cortana through the tunnel.

At the moment of rushing out of the tunnel, the divine body made an emergency stop under the operation of John, and again raised the suspension to observe here.

I saw that there is a world of difference between this space and the previous space.

The term 'open' is no longer appropriate.

John used the vision of the divine body to look into the distance, and he couldn't see the edge at all, it was almost endless.

And there is also a blue sky, a 'scorching sun' in the center, and several white clouds floating.

The ground has a large number of hard-leaved green trees, palm trees, olive trees and other vegetation.

The landforms range from grasslands to small patches of sand and mountains, as well as rivers, lakes, ponds, and more.

Animals also walk, hunt, or play in this vast green.

In the open space in the center surrounded by trees, there are civil houses in ancient Greek, Egyptian and European styles, as well as buildings such as auditoriums, squares and temples.

It is a huge ancient city.

In the center of the city is a pyramid-shaped building that is taller than the Pyramid of Khufu.

And a huge temple at the top of the pyramid.

On both sides of the entrance to the temple, there are the 'Anubis' who were executed by the formation of the divine body before. It seems that their duty is to guard.

see.

Cortana, who was in the driving bolt, floated to the front of the driving bolt. Seeing everything in front of her, she couldn't help but sigh:

"This...John, it's amazing here!

The temperature is constant at 24°, and humidity, oxygen, and various conditions are the most pleasant.

Contrary to the hellscape we've speculated before, it feels more like... more like heaven. "

On the contrary, John still maintained a calm appearance, turning a blind eye to the beautiful scenery displayed on the screen, instead looking directly below the divine body.

I saw those originally dull humans, after passing through the tunnel to the platform at the end, seemed to have regained their consciousness.

The facial expressions vary, most of them are surprised and excited.

Then another group of hoplites dressed in ancient times came to the crowd who had just walked out of the tunnel and led them off the platform to the city in the center.

And even if the soldiers noticed John's divine body, they didn't show any hostility, but chose to ignore it.

Saw all kinds of strange phenomena.

John twisted his neck, moved his shoulders, and gripped the lever with both hands.

Looking at the temple at the top of the pyramid in the distance, he said in a deep voice: "Cortana, if those giant 'Anubis' attack, help me control the floating cannons to solve them together."

Cortana also put away her shocked expression and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Master Chief."

After the brief conversation was over, the divine body hovering in the air began to accelerate suddenly, rushing towards the super-giant pyramid.

"Click-!"

Before the temple was approaching, John pulled the bolt of the Gauss burst gun and aimed the muzzle at the nearest giant Anubis.

"Di-! Di-!"

At the same time, on the auxiliary screen on the left, there was also the sound of Cortana marking the target.

All kinds of weapons are ready, as long as John pulls the trigger, then Cortana will also control the float gun to attack.

but…

"young people-."

Suddenly, a steady and solemn voice came from the entire driving bolt.

Hearing this, John immediately stopped pulling the trigger, looked at Cortana with a frown and asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Cortana also said softly with a puzzled face, "Uh... um..."

And that voice didn't give them more time to react, and continued to use an echoing voice: "Don't look at everything with hostility.

Come-. "

The voice just fell.

The giant Anubis at the front of the divine body stepped down the pyramid one after another, away from the entrance of the temple.

The intent was clear, and something within the temple pulled its defenses and invited John and Cortana inside.

Seeing this posture, Cortana turned her head and said to John: "Master Chief, I found that there is only one huge heat source inside the temple... at least twice the size of our driving god body.

Are we sure we want to go in? "

"Of course." John said without hesitation: "Even if there is an ambush inside, as a Spartan, I will continue to move forward."

Seeing that John still maintained absolute confidence, Cortana also smiled and said: "Well, then we will meet the mysterious person in the temple for a while."
