Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

!

After hearing Halsey's words, everyone present was shocked and even doubted the accuracy of this information.

And Corax didn't wait for William's order, and quickly walked to the edge of the gate, looked at the water elf at the top of the water column and asked, "Are you sure you saw an army of giant beasts?"

"."

The water elf looked at Corax and nodded again and again, then signed to Cartby next to Corax, as if talking about the detailed scene she saw underwater.

And Carter, who understood the meaning of the water elf, also explained for everyone present:

"She said that when she reached the bottom of the trench, she saw at least a few giant octopus-shaped beasts, as well as various abnormal creatures of different shapes.

More importantly, there are a large number of new gullies at the bottom of the trench, which extend all the way to the coast, so she infers that a large number of giant beasts have already rushed to the coastal city. "

"..."

After confirming that the words of the water elf were true, the faces of all the people present became more gloomy, and they all looked at William.

William, on the other hand, had already started thinking about countermeasures after hearing Halsey's words, and never thought that the water elf would tell lies.

After a few seconds of silence, William looked around at the crowd, and raised his voice and said:

"Everyone, since there is no news of giant beasts attacking the coastal cities, then we still have time to prepare and defend."

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head to look at Serena standing behind him and said in a deep voice, "Let the platform return to Infinity."

"Yes, boss."

Following William's order, the giant platform that was hovering above the sea began to rise slowly under Serena's control.

The water elf also returned to the platform before the central gate closed.

Within a few minutes, the platform returned to the fourth area of ​​the hangar of Infinity, and William looked at the people standing in front of him.

Finally, his eyes fell on Corax, and he ordered: "Corax, lead your team back to the First Fleet immediately, and notify the First Fleet to prepare the divine body."

"yes."

After being instructed, Corax saluted William, then left here with the four shadows accompanying him, and boarded their Pelican to return to the First Fleet.

Then William looked at the rest of the people and continued to order: "Carter, you and the water elves are temporarily on standby on the Infinity.

Hicks, Hudson, you two get the Marines aboard the Infinity ready for battle. "

"Yes." Everyone present saluted William one after another, and then acted according to William's instructions.

"Lieutenant General." After most people left, William turned to face Mike and said:

"The command of the Marine Corps of the Zero Fleet and the First Fleet will be handed over to you. Although the next battle may be dominated by the gods, you need your Marine Corps to assist the UNSC in evacuating the citizens of the coastal cities."

"Don't worry, ground combat is my strong point."

Mike, the veteran, still solemnly agreed, and he also lit a cigar, took a puff and exhaled the smoke ring, waved his hand and walked towards the bridge.

"Hehe." Seeing that Mike didn't show any panic, William also shook his head and smiled.

Umbrella has these veterans left by his grandfather, and he must be able to calm down most of the scenes.

Then he looked at John and said, "John, inform the Spartans on the Infinity that they are also ready to drive the God Body to fight."

"yes."

John nodded lightly at William, and took Myron, Carl, and Cortana out of here, heading for the hangar where the divine body was parked.

Now, only Halsey and Serena are left beside William.

And he walked towards the nearest conference room, and said to Serena: "Serena, send relevant materials to the UNSC leaders, and inform them that Umbrella is preparing to hold a projection meeting."

"yes."

"Catherine." William asked Halsey as he walked:

"Just now Carter said that the water elf saw giant beasts with other images besides the octopus. Do you have any idea about what they are?"

"hum..."

Halsey, who had been thinking deeply since just now, groaned for a moment after hearing William's inquiry, and then looked up to William and said her conjecture:

"Remember the Loch Ness monster I told you before? There have been a large number of witnesses from the last century to the present, but the government and enthusiasts have organized many searches, but they have not been able to find it or their traces.

And human beings can't drain the entire lake, so the search for water monsters is so futile.

Looking at it now, I think there is an intricate network of channels between the continent and the ocean, which can also explain why people can see giant beasts inland, but when they want to search for them, they have no way to start. "

"If your guess is correct, then it's not just the coastal cities that may be attacked, but also the inland areas?" William frowned.

"Hmm." Halsey responded lightly without denying it.

Then she continued: "Two months have passed since Corax killed the giant beast, which means they are waiting for the opportunity to attack together.

Since the water elves said that she saw the situation in the Mariana Trench, I felt that they might be planning something. "

"Tsk..." Hearing Halsey's words, William only felt a headache.

He raised his right hand to gently touch his temple, and sighed heavily: "It seems that we can't hide the existence of abnormal phenomena this time..."

As he said that, William ordered Serena who was following him: "Notify all artificial intelligences that when the giant beast attacks, you must do your best to delete all information about the giant beast."

"yes."

At this moment, the three of them came to the conference room where they had met Mike before.

And with Serena's assistance, there are already quite a few UNSC officials holographically imaged on the seats in the meeting room.

Seeing this, William also put away his worried expression, walked slowly to the center of the U-shaped table and sat down.

The two daughters, Halsey and Serena, also consciously waited outside the meeting room.

"Shua-."

"Everyone." After the automatic door closed, William, who had already sat down, looked at the senior officials and generals, and said in a serious tone:

"I hope you don't mind that this meeting was called due to urgency.

I won't say too many polite words. My secretary should have passed on the relevant information to you, and everyone must know the seriousness of this incident. "

"Mr. Russell." The former U.S. Secretary of Defense, who was sitting in the second position on William's left and had signed a non-disclosure agreement, asked solemnly:

"If this information is conclusive, what do you want our UNSC to do?"

"Assemble all the fleets in the solar system, deploy them in the coastal cities of the earth, and use firepower to annihilate these behemoths." William said his proposal.

"What about ... a geomagnetic accelerator array in low Earth orbit?" asked a new Canadian defense minister.

"The array uses dense electromagnetic barrage to deal with the fleet of the fake enemy. If it attacks the ground, it is easy to cause large-scale accidental damage, which is not advisable." William shook his head.

"No matter what..." Then William looked around at the crowd, leaning his elbows on the table, clasped his palms against his chin, and solemnly said:

"We humans have officially entered a 'world war' with prehistoric giants."
