Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"Ok."

After hearing William's plan, Halsey nodded in deep agreement and said:

"And even if the god-level civilization abandons the act of war, it doesn't mean they won't use it. For example, the pioneers have touched the bottom line of the pioneers.

With the purpose of testing whether we humans have the ability to inherit the mantle and destroy the forerunners, the pioneers created the flood to sweep the entire galaxy.

William, this is just a means for the pioneers to punish the pioneers, and it is even a biological weapon that "racked our brains" for us humans. "

"It should be." William also agreed with Halsey's guess.

"Beep~!"

At this moment, the entire battleship sounded a harsh siren, and the warning lights everywhere also flashed red.

The employees at the bottom of the corridor were stunned for a moment, but they quickly realized that they stepped up their pace to prepare for the battle at their respective posts.

? !

Disturbed by the sudden intrusion, William and Halsey no longer entangled in the matters of the third-level and god-level civilizations, but looked around with solemn faces.

"Boss." Immediately afterwards, Serena's voice appeared on the broadcast: "We have detected an enemy situation, please return to the bridge quickly, boss."

heard the words.

William turned his head to look at Halsey with a wry smile and said, "It seems that the trip to the Ark is not as simple as we imagined. Let's go, ma'am."

"Yeah." Halsey also had no doubts, and nodded to William with a smile on his face.

Then the husband and wife quickly left the air corridor and rushed back towards the bridge not far away.

…

Shortly after.

William and Halsey returned to the bridge and took the elevator to the second floor of the bridge.

Seeing Serena operating something next to the center console, William didn't say much, and quickly walked to the center console with Halsey.

Shen Sheng asked: "Serina, where is the enemy?"

Hearing William's inquiry, Serena did not rush to answer, but manipulated the holographic screen of the center console.

William turned his head and glanced at the multiple floating screens, his expression suddenly became more serious.

Because the video content presented on these floating screens comes from the perspective of the drone released by the Star Destroyer, and it also shows that there are living rhizomes, twisted creatures, and spore haze on the surface of the Ark.

flood.

William did not expect that the Ark was invaded by the Flood.

'But the problem is...without a host, the Flood Demon would not be able to achieve effective development at all. Could it be that someone came to the Ark earlier than us? '

Seeing the raging flood on the surface of the ark, William couldn't help raising the above doubts in his heart.

"Boss." Seeing that William didn't speak, Serena, who was standing on his right hand side, continued to report:

"When you and the doctor left the bridge, I released a large number of drones to investigate the center of the ark's surface.

As a result, as shown in these videos, the surface of the Ark has suffered a large number of Flood invasions, and the initial estimate of the infection level is between 5% and 7%. "

"Five percent, seven percent..." Hearing Serena's report, William also recovered from his surprise, raised his left hand and gently pinched his chin and said:

"It seems that the defenders of the temple on the ark are quite strong, and the flood has not yet spread on a large scale...

Serena, have you found out how the Flood developed to this scale? After all, they need a host to develop quickly. "

"yes."

Serena also nodded her head without denying it, and she also lightly waved her left hand to change the content of the holographic screen.

Just looking at the video content presented in front of William, it turned out to be a "Star Alliance" fleet with a number of more than a thousand ships.

However, this fleet has changed beyond recognition. The shell of the battleship has been squeezed from the inside to the outside, and thick, disgusting long tentacles have grown.

Even though they are deep in space, these battleships are still surrounded by a large amount of spore haze, which looks extremely corrupt.

All kinds of characteristics mean that this fleet, which originally belonged to the Star Alliance, has been completely infected and assimilated by the Flood.

Halsey, who was standing on the left side of William, saw the fleet that had been assimilated by the Flood, and raised her left hand to gently pinch her pointed chin and said:

"According to the various relics of the forerunners we have searched, except for the relics on the outskirts of Mombasa on our planet, the other relics have no mention of the Ark.

Besides, judging from the current situation, the Ark is more than 100,000 light-years away from the outer edge of the Milky Way. In theory, only we should be able to find the Ark. Then how did these Covenants come to the Ark?

Hum... a bit strange. "

"Ok."

Seeing Halsey express her doubts, William nodded in deep agreement. There must be something strange about it.

Take it easy.

William also put away his dignified expression before, but put his hands behind his back, looked around at the second daughter beside him, and said softly:

"No matter how unreasonable this matter is, the facts are before our eyes. This Covenant fleet arrived at the Ark before us, and was infected and controlled by the Flood.

And I need Catherine to master the core technology of the Ark, so our immediate goal is to eliminate the Flood fleet. "

With that said, William looked at Serena who was standing opposite him and ordered: "Serena, tell Ivan to lead the divine body troops to prepare for the battle.

Let the two children, Shia and Nova, take their mobile suits and lead our Star Destroyer mobile suit formation to assist the divine body troops.

The rest of the carrier-based aircraft are on standby in the hangar. After all, facing the Flood Fleet, ordinary carrier-based aircraft are of little use, and there is a very high possibility of being infected and assimilated. "

"Yes." Serena immediately conveyed William's order to Ivan, Shia and Nova.

"Also." At this time, William smiled at Serena again: "I give you the authority to control the Dreadnought Battleship, and attack the Flood Fleet as you wish.

Do not let me down. "

"Yes, boss."

Serena, who had obtained William's authority, nodded to him again, and then her pupils emitted a faint blue light, and began to control the six dreadnoughts around Star Destroyer.

Seeing Serena enter the state, William turned to look at Carmen not far away, and continued to order:

"Captain Ibanez, let the Star Destroyer prepare for salvo fire, and wait for my order before fully firing. I want to see the power of the dreadnought battleship."

Carmen, who was sitting in the captain's seat, nodded without thinking: "Yes, boss."

…

outside the ship.

Just look at the hundreds of kilometers above the surface of the ark, and the distance between the two fleets is thousands of kilometers.

And with just a glance, it can be seen that the Flood Fleet clearly has the upper hand. After all, they are all kinds of CAS, CCS, and CRS-class Covenant warships that have been searched for by more than a thousand.

but…

Phew————~!

I saw a 'lightning' emitting blue light, cutting across dozens of Flood warships in the blink of an eye.

The moment it came into contact with the 'lightning', the bodies of the Flood demon parasitic on the exterior and interior of the battleship were instantly evaporated or gasified, and then the body of the battleship was smoothly cut.
