Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Infinity's biological experiment area.

The alien creature captured by Shia had already been transferred to this area and held in a sealed cabin.

However, this alien creature is still in a state of being unable to move, because in the observation cabin on the side of this airtight cabin, Shia is still restraining it with 'magic'.

In addition to Shia, there are William, Ivan, Rebecca and Nova, as well as the two artificial intelligences Serena and Megan.

"."

William stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, observing the alien creature with a slight frown, trying to recall where he had seen it before.

"hum..."

Standing on the right side of the cabin, Rebecca, who was observing the data on the display screen, also looked at the data with a frown, thinking deeply about the characteristics of this creature.

And Rebecca looked again at a screen on the left hand side.

What was played on the screen was the battle video of Prussia, Ivan and Myron fighting alien creatures.

After thinking for a while, Rebecca walked slowly to William's side, looked at the alien creature in the isolation compartment and said softly to William:

"Boss, according to Colonel Pruss and Ivan's battle videos, I can confirm that these creatures do not have personal emotions.

There must be a 'head' on them to order them to carry out various instructions.

And the combat video of Colonel Pruss gave me a feeling that it didn't seem like a random ambush, as if they knew that Colonel Pruss would definitely go to the town of Ottoire.

Can they predict the future? "

"Fortune-telling?"

After hearing Rebecca's analysis, the word "Chuan" between William's eyebrows became more and more clear, as if he could recall the origin of the creature in front of him with a little reminder.

"Oh, that's right." Rebecca didn't notice William's expression, but continued:

"Boss, based on my observations and guesses, I don't think these alien creatures should have the ability to 'copy'.

That is to say, even if the ghost agent uses psychic power, or the Astartes show superhuman combat power, they cannot allow themselves to possess psychic power and super physical fitness.

But they can imitate, like the guns and artillery of our human technology.

Depending on the environment and the battle situation, different countermeasures can be simulated, like mimicry. "

!

After hearing Rebecca's words, William finally had a flash of inspiration to sweep away his sorrow.

Mimic!

That's right, the alien creature in front of William is a 'simulation'.

This is an alien creature from "Edge of Tomorrow". William only remembers that he and his dad went to the cinema to watch it together in 2010.

Counting the time after time travel, it is equivalent to watching a movie nearly thirty years ago, and he is thankful that he can still remember this alien creature.

William also remembers that they have the ability to mimic, and even more perverted, they also have the ability to reshape time.

There are two special bodies in the mimicry race, Alpha and Omega.

Omega is the 'brain' similar to the mimic race, and Alpha is the 'scout' on the front line.

In the combat video, those mouths emitting orange light are just soldiers, and they are mimics without individual emotions at all.

Alphas are similar in appearance to regular Mimics, but they are larger and have a blue glow from their heads.

The reason why alphas are called scouts is that alphas tend to follow large groups of troops, and once it or they are killed, the information will be passed on to omega.

And Omega will remember why Alpha was killed, and also remember the mistakes of their entire race, or the enemy's ambush, deployment, and so on.

To make a simple analogy, it is equivalent to playing a game to clear the level and restarting after death, but the player has already remembered what enemies and traps they will encounter.

William remembered that Tom Cruise, the protagonist of the movie "Edge of Tomorrow", was extremely lucky to kill an Alpha before he died. After his body was immersed in Alpha's blood, he also gained the ability to restart time.

When Omega was killed at the end of the movie, Cruise's time restart ability was improved, and the mimic race no longer had the advantage of time.

William didn't know what the original comics were like, but what he was sure of was that the alien creature he saw in front of him was definitely a mimicry in the movie.

Knowing what the enemy he was facing before him, William finally regained his previous self-confidence, and he immediately ordered Serena:

"Serina, inform us and the UNSC troops to focus on the establishment of the blockade for the time being, and not to initiate an attack on the alien forces.

If the opponent launches an attack, you must retreat immediately to avoid engaging the opponent. "

?

Serena didn't know why William gave such an order, but she nodded and said, "Yes, boss."

"Boss, did you...discover something?" Rebecca asked suspiciously.

"I can't say that I discovered something, I can only say that I guessed something, Rebecca..."

As William said, he turned his head to look at Rebecca and said, "What you just said about predicting the future woke me up.

What if, I mean, what if this mimicry alien race had the ability to reset time? "

"Time restart?!" Rebecca was taken aback.

"That's right." William looked at the isolation cabin again, and continued:

"If there is a special individual in their group of mimics, once they are killed, their brains will restart for the day.

However, the brain keeps track of everything that happened that day, thereby correcting the mistakes they made earlier.

Use this feature of time restart to continuously make up for their mistakes until they become perfect in the end.

Like why they can perfectly evade the low-Earth orbit defense network, successfully enter the atmosphere, and completely abuse the French front of the UNSC...

Although the combat power of French soldiers is worrying, they will not be completely abused.

Coupled with the fact that Pruss was ambushed later, it shows that the other party restarted time not only once, but hundreds of times are possible. "

"this…"

After hearing William's 'guess', Rebecca also recovered from her stunned expression, and then she said solemnly:

"I'm not very good at physics, Catherine should know more than me, but their race really has the ability to restart time...

Then it is almost unsolvable. If you want to break their ability, it is best to ask Catherine for help. "

"No, I don't need it for now." William waved his hands lightly and said:

"I think that only killing their special individuals will cause time to restart, but if you directly kill the brains of their race, it is difficult to directly destroy their entire race.

No matter how bad it is, it can also make them lose the ability to restart time.

As Catherine kept telling me, no one person or race is perfect, not even God.

So the aliens before our eyes are indeed tricky, but they can't be perfect. "

With that said, William looked at Serena again from the corner of his eye, and ordered:

"Serina, name this alien creature 'mimicry', and scan the town of Fiak to find their 'brain'."
