Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Boss, Master Chief."

As Serena said that, she shared the footage captured by the drone and displayed it on the screens of William and John's helmets.

I saw on the street not far from the convoy, a man in ragged clothes was running hard with his hands covering his bloody abdomen.

And behind the man, there are four 'black shadows' that look similar to humans, chasing after it...or him.

The four 'black shadows' didn't seem to be in a hurry to catch up with the man, but kept a stable distance from him.

When the person with severe abdominal wounds escaped into a subway entrance similar to a human city, these 'shadows' stopped chasing.

Immediately afterwards, the 'shadows' just surrounded the subway entrance and communicated silently.

Seeing this, William frowned slightly, and he always felt that the 'black shadow' on the screen was somewhat familiar.

After thinking for a moment, he could only helplessly shake his head.

"Boss!" At this moment, a paratrooper who was in charge of guarding the back of the convoy reminded in the communication:

"An abnormality was found."

"Boss, we have it here too!"

Soon, the paratroopers in other directions also reported loudly in the communication.

Hearing the sudden change, William, John and the others also looked around.

I saw the 'dark shadows' photographed by drones walking out of the shadows that could not be illuminated by the sun, and waving their arms and rushing towards the convoy.

Seeing this, William immediately ordered: "Fire!"

"Yes!"

"Tatt! Tack!"

After getting approval, the three Spartans and four classes of paratroopers pulled the trigger and launched attacks with various weapons in their hands.

William also immediately protected Serena behind him, and the M41A in his hand also aimed at a black shadow and spit out a dazzling 'fire snake'.

Although William is leading a reconnaissance team, he has all kinds of firepower, especially a Warthog with a 90mm gauss gun.

What's more, the members are superhuman Spartans, and the elite of the elite, the Crazy tooth shark paratrooper squad.

but…

Everyone's Gauss thorn bullets and shellless blasting bullets are completely ineffective against those shadows, like a punch on cotton.

Just look at the thorn bullets that emit blue light, going straight through the body of the shadows, and the shellless blasting bullets also pass through their bodies, hitting the wall and the ground before they explode.

"Boss!" Serena, standing behind William, quickly reminded her boss:

"These things are like invisible existences, our physical attacks are ineffective, we need to retreat as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" William had no objection at all, and waved his hand: "Everyone boarded the car!"

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, everyone also gave up the attack on Sombra and began to quickly return to the Warthog.

As everyone boarded the Warthog in an orderly manner, within seconds the convoy began to move again, all turning around and making their way back.

It was originally the lead car driven by the Spartans, but turned into a tail car due to a U-turn. This gave Myron, who was holding a rotating Gaussian gun, a chance to vent.

I saw Myron aimed the six-barrel gun at the group of shadows that followed, and roared extremely unhappily:

"It doesn't matter what kind of monsters and monsters you guys are, I'm not afraid of Sparta! Besides, we are still blessed by the goddess of victory, so let me die!"

"Tattoo!"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

However, with the crisp sound of the rotating Gauss gun, the shadows who were attacked by the thorn bullets froze, as if they were really attacked.

"Hey~!"

Carl, who was sitting in the co-pilot position, pulled the trigger of the electromagnetic sniper rifle after seeing that Myron's attack seemed to be effective.

"Boom--!"

However, the blue light ball with a thick wrist went straight through the shadows, and then hit a building behind the shadow, causing a violent explosion.

? ? ?

Carl couldn't believe her eyes. Even though Myron's attack was effective, her attack still seemed to hit the air.

"Is it really that stupid people have stupid blessings?" Karen couldn't help asking himself.

"What's wrong?" John, who was focused on driving, wondered.

"It's okay." Carl shook his head slightly and continued to observe her somewhat "magic" brother.

Although Myron's attack couldn't kill those shadows, it could still block their chasing pace, making the distance between them and the convoy worse.

In the end, when the convoy came to the vast desert, the group of shadows completely disappeared from the sight of the Spartans.

William, who was sitting on the third Warthog, also received Halsey's communication:

"William, what's going on with you?"

"We had a brief exchange of fire with...a thing I'm not sure if it was a living thing, and physical attacks didn't seem to be effective against them at all," William replied.

"hum... I have received the video message from Serena."

Halsey was silent for a few seconds, seemingly thinking briefly.

Then he said: "It seems that the disappearance of civilization on Kepler 22-b is related to the enemies you encountered, William, you should evacuate from that space first."

"it is good."

.

In less than half an hour, the convoy returned to the pyramid that was about to be engulfed by yellow sand.

William also let the marines who stayed here, as well as the technicians, return to Kepler 22-b with them.

This kind of thing that cannot be solved by firearms can be regarded as an abnormal phenomenon found outside the earth, and it is very likely to be an abnormal phenomenon that leads to the destruction of advanced civilizations.

…

After the reconnaissance team led by William came into contact with the anomalous phenomenon code-named 'Shadow', the Zero Fleet suspended the development of the ruins on Kepler 22-b.

Due to the fact that 'Shadow' cannot be physically attacked, and also has very strong hostility and other characteristics, it is temporarily rated as Euclid.

The Zeroth Fleet went into combat mode and discussed how to deal with the 'shadows' and whether it was necessary to contain them.

After all, the location of their planets is unknown, and they may even be in galaxies beyond the Milky Way.

…

The mobile base station next to the ruins group.

Small meeting room.

William, Halsey, John, Carl, and Myron sat behind the U-shaped table, while Serena, who was wearing a prosthetic body, stood in the center of the U-shaped table.

Serena used the holographic projection in the conference room to explain the situation to everyone present.

I saw that the projection video was playing, and it was Myron's single-soldier camera, as well as those 'shadows' who suffered setbacks.

Seeing the abnormality, Halsey asked, "John, Carl, you were on a Warthog with Myron, did your attack not work?"

"Yes." Karl nodded immediately and said, "After I saw that Myron's attack was effective, I also attacked them, but the result... It still penetrated directly."

"That's weird..." Halsey became even more puzzled.

"Haha~!" Myron said with a naive smile, "Maybe I really have some kind of luck."
