Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

in the vault;

"Lieutenant, there are twenty-two survivors, and there are no injuries."

"En." Listening to the report of a group of sergeants, Corax nodded lightly, and slowly approached the waiter who had attacked him before.

Asked: "How much do you know about the creatures that kill the travelers here?"

!

Seeing the 'giant' soldier who was over 2.6 meters tall, the waiter seemed to be a little bit hard to believe his eyes, but he eased his nervousness, and then replied:

"I don't know, I only know that because of the weather, the captain only let us move around inside the cruise ship, and then... then the cruise ship suddenly seemed to hit something.

Everyone may think that it has hit the rocks, but then the whole cruise ship was shaking, and then a large number of snake-like tentacles attacked us!

They are pervasive, coming in from ventilation ducts, tunnels, water pipes and everything that has holes!

Because I work in a casino, I know that the vault has its own oxygen supply system and is stronger than other places, so I hid here with a group of travelers. "

"."

Listening to the waiter's report, Corax didn't say anything, keeping silent as if thinking.

Then he turned and turned on the communication built into the helmet, and contacted the Darwin:

"This is B-019, our search team just entered into a battle with abnormal creatures, eight marines were killed, but twenty-two survivors were found.

I speculate that this abnormal phenomenon is likely to be a giant creature with a large number of snake-like tentacles, and the nerve tissue of the tentacles is extremely developed, even if it is cut off, it can still move.

Based on the descriptions of the survivors, I judge that it is very likely that there are no other survivors on the cruise ship.

But to be on the safe side, the Shadow Team will continue to carry out the search mission, but before that, we will escort the survivors and the remaining marines to the top deck.

So please send a Pelican to help. "

"Eight killed?!" Hearing Corax's words, the communication officer exclaimed in disbelief, and then the communication fell into a brief busy tone.

It seems that the female communications officer is reporting the matter to the captain of the Darwin. After all, the death of eight marines is not a trivial matter.

"Lieutenant..."

Immediately afterwards, the voice Corax heard was no longer the female communications officer, but a middle-aged man with a steady voice.

"I am the captain of the Darwin, Coz Holder, the patrol boat's investigation has ended, and no survivors have been found.

The survivors you found, Lieutenant, are likely to be the only people left in this incident, so be sure to escort them to the top deck.

As for the continuation of the search mission you proposed, I approve it, and I will send all the marines on the Darwin to land on the cruise ship to assist you in carrying it out. "

"No, Captain, this time the abnormal creatures are extremely aggressive, and we can't cause casualties to the brothers of the Marine Corps. We, Sparta, are enough."

"This..." The captain knew that the abnormal phenomenon this time was beyond the scope of ordinary people's ability to deal with it, so he stopped refuting and said:

"Okay, it is estimated that the Pelican will reach the sky above the Agona Rica in three minutes."

"Thank you." After confirming that the Pelican is about to arrive, Corax walked outside the casino and ordered in the communication:

"Prepare to escort the survivors to evacuate together."

"yes."

The people who received the instructions started to act. The marines of the first and second classes protected the survivors and came outside the casino with Corax.

Afterwards, the remaining ten marines were mixed together to protect the survivors together with the first and second squads, while the five shadows were outside to protect the marines and the survivors.

Since this return trip is an 'escape', there is no need to search, so the speed of the team is much faster than before.

But after all, there are still twenty-two civilians, and the overall speed of the team is still relatively slow, and when they came to the second deck, the last thing they wanted to encounter still happened...

"Boom!!" With a bang, the deck corridor on the rear side of the team was broken by brute force, and a large number of tentacles gushed out.

It seems that the anomalous phenomenon sensed that the humans were about to run away, so it came to attack again, and its target was the unarmed survivors.

"call out-!"

"Buzz!"

"Stab!"

A tentacle rushed towards a female waitress at the back of the line with the sound of breaking through the air, but before the tentacle could taste the human flesh, it was cut vertically by Corax at the back with a beam saber.

"Crack!" A large amount of viscous blood gushed out and splashed on Corax and the waitress.

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Realizing that the 'tentacle monster' was attacking again, the crowd panicked again, rushing upwards regardless of pushing and shoving each other.

After all, without training, asking ordinary people to remain calm in extreme situations is just a luxury.

But the marines and the shadows didn't complain, and responded immediately. Half of them escorted the civilians and continued to retreat towards the top deck, while the other half attacked the group of tentacles.

But all around the corridor was twisting and deforming. It seemed that the anomalous body used other tentacles to bypass the marines and the shadow team and eat the panicked civilians first.

"Go! The shadow team protects the marines and civilians, hurry to the top deck! Let me stop here!"

As Corax spoke, he flicked Gauss who had emptied his magazine, gripped the most powerful lightsaber with both hands, and rushed towards the 'root' of the group of tentacles.

"Yes!" (x4)

The four shadows knew what their captain was capable of, and now that the situation was tense, the marines and civilians without their protection would undoubtedly die.

Corax's rear was really effective, I saw that his beam saber, which was nearly 1.5 meters long, cut off these tentacles with ease.

Feeling the heat of the wound, the torso at the base of the tentacles shrank suddenly, and even started to retreat again, as if he was really afraid of Corax holding a lightsaber.

But Corax hated this 'guy' who killed hundreds of civilians at once, especially the marines in front of his eyes.

Without the worries of the marines and civilians, Corax followed the receding tentacle and jumped directly from the hole in the deck it broke.

With this jump, Corax went straight to the position between the tenth and eleventh decks.

"Step! Step!"

The PIA armor fell on the ruins of the broken deck, and the weight of half a ton made the deck sink inward.

But Corax didn't care about the deck, because he finally saw the whole picture of the abnormal phenomenon, or a part of it.

I saw that the abnormal phenomenon was huge in size and occupied a large area of ​​the bottom deck of the cruise ship, and its shape was similar to molluscs like octopuses.

The 'tentacle monster' they encountered before was just one of the countless 'beards' with abnormal phenomena, and it also had a large number of thick limbs that were several meters or tens of meters thick.
