"hostage."

At this time, Mike, who was listening to William and Halsey all the way, laughed at himself: "Even abnormal phenomena know American traditions."

"Hoho..." William followed with a wry smile.

Free America, nuclear peace every day.

This stalk is not in vain.

Even though Elizabeth Green didn't know anything about this world, she swallowed everyone in the Plaza Hotel in a flash, and of course she would learn about the nuclear bomb.

If she infected the entire Manhattan Island, then a nuclear bomb would be inevitable.

Containment, control, protection.

Protection is the main theme of all actions.

An abnormal phenomenon that threatens human safety must be destroyed before it can cause extinction.

Immediately after.

William said to the supervisor: "How many agents are there in Manhattan and Long Island? When will the colonel's troops arrive? Where is Major Kent?"

The supervisor was also unambiguous, and immediately replied:

"Manhattan agents have fifteen in the south, five in the north, and twenty-five on standby in the Kennedy Airport.

(Operate the computer)

The materials and troops led by the colonel arrived in two hours.

Major Kent, who escorted important assets, still needed five hours."

"Yeah..." Kent pinched his slightly stubble chin, and ordered to the supervisor:

"Tell the five agents in the north of the city to ensure their own safety as much as possible, and let the 15 agents in the south of the city go to Washington Park on the edge of the yellow zone to stand by.

Then let all the agents in the airport take the bird to Washington Park to meet the agents there."

"Yes."

"Yeah." William turned to look at Mike who was on the side and whispered:

"Lieutenant General, we don't know the true purpose of the anomaly, but we can't just wait and die.

Agent Umbrella’s combat equipment is fully enclosed.

Red Zone and Plaza Hotel, we need detailed information inside.

Then Lieutenant General, please send your Marines into Manhattan to establish a safe zone to protect citizens.

Then send feint troops to attract the attention of the infected, and buy some time and space for our agents."

"No problem, hand it to the Marines." Mike readily accepted William's instructions.

This lieutenant general who was about the same age as Andre took out a cigar and cigar cutter from his pocket.

Cut off one end, light it, and squinted in his mouth.

"Huh~"

Turning around, he exhaled smoke, shaking his hands and commanding the elite Marines who were on guard outside: "Follow me."

With that, Mike and a large number of Marines left the hall, making it a lot more empty.

As for Halsey.

He glanced at the back of Mike, who was gradually moving away, and then at Hank, who was standing not far away, doing his duty.

She always feels...

The behavior of these people is so alike in reality.

Is she worried?

Halsey closed her eyes and shook her head, no longer thinking about that, then opened her eyes and walked to William's side with a smile:

"Boss, I didn't expect that the old lieutenant general is also a member of the family, so the success rate of this containment operation... barely exceeds forty."

A 40% success rate is already pretty good.

But William was still stern.

"Hey." He sighed and looked at Halsey, and said sadly:

"There are still two hours before Andre arrives. During this period, I hope that the agents who go deep into the red zone can bring us specific information."

Halsey could see what her boss was worried about, and tilted her head to encourage William to say:

"Well, the equipment of the agents has been upgraded by me personally, and the survival rate is guaranteed."

"I hope so." William smiled bitterly.

Time: December 26, 2007, 21:25.

location:

Lower Manhattan.

Forty-eight minutes have passed since the massive chaos caused by the abnormal phenomenon.

This place is marked as a light yellow area, which means there are a small number of infected people and ordinary citizens in panic.

but.

With the entry of a large number of marines wearing gas masks, the nervousness of the citizens was controlled, and the citizens also extremely obeyed the instructions of the soldiers.

This is hard to come by.

After all, the old and American people have some IQ...

When the Marines stabilized the situation in the Yellow Zone and sent a large number of armored and air forces to advance into the depths of the Yellow Zone, they took the initiative to attack the corpses of infected persons.

In the Washington Park with the most prestigious fountain square in New York and a Roman triumphal arch.

At this time, the sound of the water flowing slowly from the fountain in the square contrasted with the noise on the street, which seemed much quieter.

suddenly.

"Tread—step—."

The sound of army boots stepping on the floor tiles broke the tranquility of the park.

Fifteen Umbrella's agents are coming here to wait in accordance with the instructions from the Kennedy Airport.

I saw that the equipment on their bodies was very different from the version two months ago.

Uniform black and purple one-piece combat uniform, exo-type exoskeleton on the limbs, shoulders and back.

The improved Fast helmet can perfectly fit with the breathing mask and combat uniform worn to form a confined space.

The most distinctive feature is that they have binocular optical sight glasses that emit blue light on their helmets.

This is the upgraded combat equipment of the agents.

When Halsey turned in the final design draft, William was directly shocked by his appearance.

Because of the equipment of the agent, it is simply the "power-enhanced version" of the black watch soldier in "Prototype 1".

The difference between AAES and UBCS is that the outer protective material of the combat uniform is not titanium fiber, but Kevlar fiber.

There is no air conditioning and air pressure adjustment device, and it cannot fight in a vacuum environment.

Therefore, the cost is much lower than AAES.

Who ever thought Elizabeth Green would really come to the real world.

Originally, Halsey hoped to "milk" an agent, but now it looks like "poisonous milk"

"Huh-huh-"

Within half a minute, the sound of the engines of the six birdies also resounded over the park, and landed on the square with their small and flexible characteristics.

Twenty-five agents, who came to support from the JFK Airport, unfastened the safety buckle the moment they landed and left the crew board.

Afterwards, the six pilots waved to the agents in salute, and drove the bird to take off quickly, turning the direction and returning.

An agent with a green three-eye optical sight glass, white combat uniform, and the rank of sergeant gathered everyone.

Looking around, he said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, the codename of the temporary team established this time is'Vulture', and I am Commander Patrick Hogan.

As the central Manhattan is covered by the red fog, the drones can't see it inside.

Therefore, we need to go deep into the red fog area to collect samples as much as possible while conducting investigations.

Dr. Halsey needs those samples to study this anomaly, and the company can also implement containment as soon as possible.

otherwise…"

Hogan's tone paused, and after a few seconds of silence, he continued: "What is the ending of Manhattan? I don't need to remind you."
