Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Ivan, Nova, and Megan left the large lecture hall.

And while walking, Ivan called Shia, who was in class, and asked her to 'skip class' to help William deal with the current situation.

After all, if the opponent is really some kind of alien force, rather than an abnormal phenomenon, then this attack is likely to be the beginning of an interstellar war.

More importantly, the other party can also deceive the layers of surveillance and defense systems in the solar system, and directly attack Europe on Earth...

It shows that the other party has certain 'characteristics'.

Afterwards, Shia and Ivan joined together.

When the four of them walked out of the church and came to the main entrance, it happened that a Pelican painted by the Zero Fleet arrived at the parking lot at the school gate.

The hatch at the rear of the cabin opened, and the four of Ivan saw William and Serena standing in the cabin.

When he learned of the attack on France, William immediately notified Carmen and asked her to send a Pelican to pick him up and Serena.

After boarding the Pelican, William ordered the pilot to go to the main gate of St. Mary's to pick up Ivan.

The four of Ivan boarded the Near Pelican, closed the hatch, lifted off, and quickly returned to the Infinity in low-earth orbit.

…

Inside the bridge of the Infinity soon after.

William and Serena, who had already changed the uniforms of the commander and secretary, walked into the bridge with Ivan, Nova, Shia and Megan who were still in casual clothes.

And following behind William and the others were Rui Ge and Tizzy who had changed into lieutenant and non-commissioned officer combat uniforms.

After studying at St. Mary's for a year, the couple was "dissuaded" by the school. The first reason was that their grades were really worrying.

Especially Rui Ge's grades, any compulsory courses related to mathematics are 'must fail'.

In the final analysis, Rui Ge and Tizzy served in the Federation for nearly a year, and the high-intensity battle made the two scumbags...

It has become more 'scum'.

In 2025, William directly let the couple end the torture of going to school, and transferred them to the Marine Corps of Infinity, under the command of Hicks and Hudson.

The bridge at this time.

Carmen with a serious face sat on the captain's seat, commanding the crew meticulously.

Next to the large center console.

It was Hicks, Hudson, and Pruss who had already gathered in combat uniforms, and John, Karl, Myron, Corax, and Robert in power armor.

It can be said that more than half of the high-level officers on the Infinity have gathered in the bridge.

William also had a dignified face, and walked to the center console with his hands behind his back.

The holographic screen of the center console presents a 3D map of the town of Fiac in south-central France, as well as a large number of marked red flashing points.

From the 3D map, it can be found that there are large areas of forests and mountains near Fiak Town, and the number of residents is relatively sparse.

And William stared at the red flashing spot in the center of Fiak Town, and said in a deep voice: "Selina, explain what these are."

"Yes." Hearing this, Serena stepped forward from behind William and explained to everyone:

"The news media reported that these meteorites were a fire strike by an alien force, but this was not the case.

According to satellite scans and local video data in Fiak Town, these meteorites are actually some kind of 'spacecraft' of alien forces.

And these 'red dots' marked by me are actually the members of these spaceships.

Otherwise, they would not evade our fire defense network and landed in the town of Fiac without any air defense facilities. "

talking.

With a wave of her hand, Serena revealed a new holographic screen above the 3D map and played a video.

From the perspective and picture of the video, one can tell at a glance that it is the surveillance of a store.

The time shown is 06/09/2026/13:59 French time.

During this period of time, the surveillance video just captured the meteorite swarm hitting the entire town, but the store was fortunately not affected, and the surveillance still had power to continue recording.

14:01.

The fall of the meteorite group caused the entire town to be filled with a large amount of dust, causing people in residential buildings and various buildings to pour out onto the streets out of curiosity and panic.

14:06.

Immediately afterwards, the streets suddenly began to vibrate again, and a large number of houses collapsed and roads collapsed.

Moreover, the monitoring was still in the smoke and dust, and it captured the outline of some kind of creature. In the end, the monitoring seemed to lose the picture because the mall lost power.

End playback.

see.

Everyone present, except for the two artificial intelligences Serena and Megan, all had a more dignified look on their faces.

The current event is that the Earth itself has been invaded by alien forces.

Even if the reaper civilization invaded the solar system, it was blocked by Umbrella's troops within the orbit of Saturn, and the group of reapers did not directly witness the earth at all.

As for the 'aliens' in the video just now, whether it is the meteorite spacecraft they are on or their appearance, they give people the feeling that they are far inferior to the Reapers.

But the other party still successfully arrived on the earth, and directly began to invade the human home planet, indicating that they must have some kind of advanced technology or characteristics.

"."

After William saw the outline of the alien in the video, he began to try to recall all the movies and novels he had seen before the time travel, and even the games he had played.

Attempt to find the alien force that matches the footage.

But it only took a few seconds before William shook his head helplessly.

Can't find it.

Besides, he has been in this world for twenty years, and most of the plots of movies and games have been forgotten.

If it had obvious features, he might still be able to recognize it, but the outline of the alien in the video is too 'ordinary', just like a humanoid beast.

Afterwards, Serena flicked her left hand again, zooming in on the 3D map of Fiak town.

Among them, the marked alien forces are still gathering and operating in the entire town of Fiak, and have not spread towards the surrounding mountains and villages.

At this time, a large number of 'green dots' appeared on the map.

And Serena also said in a timely manner: "Everyone, the UNSC Army Front currently deployed in France has assembled troops to surround the town of Fiac.

(looks at William)

Boss, the supreme commander of the unit has applied for permission to attack, is it approved? "

"Hum..." William raised his left hand and pinched his chin lightly, thought for a moment, nodded and said:

"Also, you can test whether the army's weapons are effective against these unknown alien forces.

I approve. "

"Yes." Serena, who had received William's instruction, had a light blue light flashing in her pupils, as if she had notified the commander of the French front.

Synchronous.

A large number of green flashing points on the 3D map are also the French army, and they began to slowly close the encirclement circle, preparing to encircle and suppress the alien forces in the town of Fiac.

Within a few minutes, the UNSC army had arrived at the outskirts of Fiak Town and was about to fight the alien forces.
