Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

The area of ​​the ruins that William and Halsey surveyed was very large.

Due to the fact that the ground was covered with giant bricks, the place was not submerged by plants such as bushes and grasses, and only some tenacious weeds were drilled from the gaps of the stone bricks.

Most of the buildings are one-storey houses. The stone walls of the houses have never-before-seen pictographs and murals expressing different meanings.

The drainage system in the ruins is perfect, and even in this rainy, wet jungle, no excessive moss or silted rainwater has been found.

According to the measurement of the escort machine (strike MS), it is concluded that the area of ​​the relic area is about 120,000 square meters, and the buildings are arranged in an orderly manner.

Located at the center of the entire area is a pyramid similar to the Mayan civilization.

And this pyramid is also the focus of this investigation. At this time, under the protection of the blue team and a large number of marines, the research team led by Halsey is conducting an investigation.

As for William and Serena and others, it is the southern location of the pyramid for investigation and research.

.

William, holding a pulse rifle, walked slowly on the stone-brick square of the ruins, looking at the murals and hieroglyphs.

He couldn't help but sighed to Serena who was following behind him: "It seems that the alien civilizations on this planet should be very similar to us humans, and have developed their own languages ​​and characters."

"Well, and I also compared the text with the Mayan text and found that there is a 43 percent similarity.

I think the civilization of this planet should have had contact with the ancient civilization of our earth, at least with the Mayan civilization in the Americas. "

Serena, who was copying the murals and text, also gave her opinion after hearing William's exclamation.

"Ah, who let the Spanish gang burn up the Mayan books, otherwise we should learn more about the ancient civilization."

William must be a little annoyed when he thinks of the colonists of the sixteenth century, especially the bishop of Spain, Dinago de Landa.

The only remaining frescoes and texts of the Maya can be difficult for modern scholars to study, not to mention that the Maya had a large number of books before.

It is a pity that the Mayan books were burned in large numbers in 1562 and can never be reproduced again.

"boss!"

At this time, a paratrooper in charge of escorting reported to William Hui in the communication: "We found a very suspicious entrance."

While reporting, the paratroopers also shared their locations and marked them on the map on the helmet screens of nearby personnel.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

William used the communication to reply, and took Serena to the paratrooper's position.

According to the route calculated by the individual soldier's computer, the two left the spacious street of the complex and passed through an alley, and finally came to the location of the paratrooper.

Just looking at the paratrooper who was reporting, there was a gate that four people could enter side by side, which should be the entrance to the underground of the ruins.

Subsequently, the other paratroopers in charge of William and Serena also arrived here one after another.

William walked to the entrance, and without turning on the night vision function, he could only see darkness.

Upon seeing this, William shared the location here to the Mammoth, and said to Halsey in the communication:

"Catherine, we found a suspected underground entrance, would you like to come and take a look?"

"I also have a new discovery here. I can't get away for the time being, eh, by the way, isn't Serena following you? It would be nice to have her copy the data for me."

"Okay." After hearing Halsey's words, William turned on the night vision and scanning functions, walked into the entrance and ordered:

"Everyone, come with me."

"Yes."

Relying on the external lighting provided by the soldier's equipment, and the night vision function of the mask, William can clearly see the steps extending downward.

After walking down for about half a minute, everyone came to the underground of the ruins.

Through the pulse scanning function, it was found that it was extremely spacious, and the central position of this underground space seemed to correspond to the pyramid on the surface.

There is a long bridge directly in front of the entrance where they are located, and the water pool that covers the entire underground space is tested under the bridge.

On both sides of the bridge there are 'human' statues in equal proportions and in equal numbers. This is also the first time Umbrella found a human statue on Kepler 22-b.

William approached a statue and looked at it through the mask's night vision system.

The 'man' of the statue is standing, holding a spear similar to the earth, and has armor that covers the whole body.

Due to the occlusion of the helmet, William could not see the face of this 'person' more clearly, but he vaguely felt that the other party's facial features were similar to those of humans.

It seems that the higher creatures on this planet really have some kind of origin with their human beings.

William used his personal camera to record what he saw, and then continued to lead the crowd in depth.

When they came directly below the pyramid, they found that it was a large platform with some kind of weird 'ring ○' in the center.

What surprised everyone present was that the 'circle' was not standing on the stone bricks of the platform, but floated at the center of the platform as if it had some kind of anti-gravity stand.

Just as William refuted the words of UNSC researchers before, he cannot rely on building materials, and he arbitrarily believes that the other civilization does not have "high technology".

At least in the major ruins of the earth, no technological devices with the same 'ring' have been found yet.

"Boss, the opponent's anti-gravity system is very different from the Reaper civilization we have adopted."

At this time, Serena, who was standing beside William, walked slowly to the edge of the platform and looked at the pool, and said:

"The waterhole is connected to a river in the jungle, and the platforms we're standing on seem to be able to generate enough electricity through the current to make their anti-gravity devices work."

"Only by the flow of water?" William also walked slowly to Serena's side, looking at the bland pool of water and fell into contemplation.

"Click!"

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from behind the two of them, as if someone had triggered some kind of mechanism.

Turn around and look.

I saw a paratrooper who was looking around, his left foot stepped on a stone brick, and the stone brick sank instantly after feeling the force.

"Om~Om--Om~!"

Immediately afterwards, the ring in the center of the platform began to rotate clockwise, and its speed gradually increased.

When the speed reaches its peak, it emits a dazzling blue light, illuminating the entire underground space.

The sudden change forced William and all the paratroopers to turn off the night vision function to observe the ring.

"Boss, this, I..." The paratrooper who accidentally touched the mechanism looked at William and Serena and said, "Did you do something wrong?"

"No." Serena slowly approached the radiant ring and whispered to the paratrooper:

"This device is not some kind of weapon, the mechanism you just touched just activates it."

When the ring remained stable, Serena, whose pupils were emitting a faint blue light, said to William, "Boss, this seems to be a teleportation device."
