Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

next morning.

07:12.

"Ivan, Yelena, hurry up and eat!"

William, who was preparing for the morning behind the kitchen bar on the first floor, raised his head and yelled towards the stairs at the end of the corridor.

"Here we come~!"

Yelena, who had already changed into her school uniform and was carrying her schoolbag, rushed to the corner of the stairs quickly, and jumped to the first floor with one easy leap.

As she walked towards the dining table in the living room, she asked William, "Dad, what are you eating today?"

William came to the living room with large dinner plates in his left and right hands, put one of the plates in front of Yelena, and said with a smile, "I'm in a hurry today, so I just made it casually."

Yelena looked at the dinner plate in front of her, which contained a sandwich consisting of vegetables, luncheon meat, and cheese, as well as fried poached eggs and soy sauce dipping sauce.

Although William said he could do it casually, the way the dishes were arranged seemed to be better than those of the servants who were still enjoying their holidays.

Immediately Yelena picked up the sandwich, opened her small mouth and took a bite. After chewing carefully, her eyes opened slightly, and she looked at William who had returned to the bar and muttered:

"Dad! It's obviously delicious~!"

"Hehe." William took his and Halsey's share, just smiled slightly, and had long been used to his daughter's sweet lips.

At this time, Ivan and Halsey came to the living room together, and after sitting at the dining table, they noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and asked Halsey:

"Mother, have you encountered wars or abnormal phenomena again?"

"Not sure yet." Halsey said to her son with a smile on her face: "Today we are going to the Philippines to confirm."

"Really..." Ivan nodded lightly, as if he had long been used to his parents always running around the world, and said:

"Then you all pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry." William, who put the dinner plate on the table, sat beside Halsey and interjected, "With John and the others and your father and me, nothing will happen."

"Ah..." Yelena said in frustration, "I hope dad can pick us up from school today..."

"I'll pick you up after school when I come back in a few days, okay?" William comforted.

"Okay..." Yelena could only nod her head in agreement.

Afterwards, the family quickly finished a simple breakfast, and the USS responsible for picking up Yelena and Ivan still formed a convoy to the school of the two children.

Accompanied by the blue team and Cortana, William and Halsey drove two SUVs to the Troy base on the outskirts of Haffa.

09:45.

The two SUVs arrived at the Troy Base unimpeded.

The current Troy base is already the largest base built by Umbrella on Earth, bar none.

There is a defensive electromagnetic accelerator gun in the center of the base, and a large number of anti-aircraft weapons are also built on the surrounding walls.

At the same time, twenty assault mobile suits, a large number of Viking fighters and F-X were also deployed to ensure the safety of Haffa City.

After all, Haffa is the starting place of Umbrella, and there is one of Umbrella's foundations underground in Haffa City, the Hive Research Center.

As for the 100-meter-high Thor produced according to Andre's request, it is still placed in a conspicuous position in the base, and it has also been upgraded by the arsenal, adding an anti-gravity system and an energy shield.

William and the others greeted Andre, and then took the Pelican to the Infinity already parked in low-Earth orbit.

…

10:55.

Infinity, in a meeting room near the fourth area of ​​the hangar.

"Shua-."

With the sound of the automatic door opening, William walked into the meeting room with John, who was still only wearing military uniform.

I saw Mike, wearing a dark gray general uniform of the Marine Corps, sitting on the left side of the U-shaped table, frowning slightly looking at the information displayed on the ultra-thin computer in his hand.

Mike, who is over sixty years old, has pale hair and temples, and more wrinkles on his face.

But even so, Mike still smoked his signature lit cigar and seemed completely unconcerned that he would get lung cancer.

In fact...

After Andre ate the fruit of life, William also gave Mike the fruit of life, so the lieutenant general really didn't have to worry about getting lung cancer.

Mike saw William and John approaching the conference room, put the cigar in his left hand and put it in the ashtray on the table to extinguish it, and left his seat with a smile with his arms outstretched:

"William, we haven't seen each other for a while, uncle and nephew."

"Yes." William also spread his arms and hugged Mike briefly, and said with emotion to the veteran:

"All regions of the earth can maintain relative stability, and the containment fleet can also deal with anomalous phenomena in an orderly manner, all thanks to the assistance of the lieutenant general and the Marine Corps of the First Fleet."

"Hehe." Mike put his hands behind his back, smiled and shook his head and said:

"This is what I should do, and William, you let me live forever, so I should risk my old life and continue to fight for Russell and you."

"Hey, Lieutenant General, you are not old now. Compared to eternal life, you are a fresh meat now." William teased with a smile.

"Haha, yes, little fresh meat." Mike also smiled.

"Boss." Just as the 'uncles and nephews' were talking about the old days, Serena's holographic projection was generated in the meeting room and reported to William Hui:

"According to your instructions, Fleet Zero and Fleet One have arrived two hundred meters above the Mariana Trench."

"Okay." William just waved his hand lightly, indicating that he already knew.

And Serena bowed slightly to William and Mike, and also turned off the projection she generated in the conference room.

Then William moved his hand to the automatic door of the meeting room, smiled at Mike and said, "Lieutenant General, how about going to breathe the fresh air off the Philippine Sea with me?"

"Of course, let's go."

With his hands behind his back, Mike left the meeting room with William, while John followed behind them without saying a word.

Coming to the deck corridor, the three of them walked towards the fourth area of ​​the Infinity's hangar.

"William, I just read the materials Serena helped prepare." During the period, Mike said to William:

"If you think about it according to Catherine's speculation, then the abnormal phenomenon that the company has to face is likely to be older than our so-called gods?"

"Yes." William didn't deny it: "Over 70% of the earth is covered by water. Not long ago, Spartan B-019 killed a giant octopus with a length of 300 meters.

What's even more tingling is that this giant octopus is still underage, so how big can an adult be?

Moreover, this is the first recorded killing of giant beasts in the sea in human history. Catherine was afraid that this move would break the delicate balance between humans and giant beasts, so she asked the company to lock them in advance. And be prepared to defend.

As for the location where the giant beast lives, it is most likely the deepest place in the world, the Mariana Trench.

The environment there is too harsh, so we can only let the containment object "Water Spirit" help us quickly scan this area. "
