Containment control starts with the umbrella

Chapter 142 Martian Fortress

When William gave the order for the transition, reports from the crew members also came from the bridge.

Soon after, the transition portal emitting blue light appeared at the front of the Phantom.

Enter gently.

Another sparkling blue light spilled into the bridge.

But everyone has long been accustomed to this strange and beautiful scene, and it is no longer the same excitement as before, it seems that it is a bit of aesthetic fatigue.

Within half a minute, the Phantom sailed out of the transition space and came to Mars' low-Earth orbit.

Still looking out the porthole with his hands behind his back, William said to the two ladies standing beside him: "Let the Phantom hover over the Mars base."

"Yes, boss." (x2)

As the order was issued, they coordinated to operate the Phantom descending, passing through the Martian atmosphere that is not thick.

William also left the center console and went to the porthole at the end of the bridge.

Just look at the Sidonia Plain "underfoot" getting closer and closer, and when it completely entered the Martian atmosphere, it also completely lifted the veil of Mars City.

Unlike the small city clusters protected by domes in the Wine Sea Colony, the Mars City area occupies a larger and wider area, and also appears more magnificent.

After all, even if the atmosphere of Mars is thinner, it still has an atmosphere, which can slow down the impact of meteorites to a certain extent.

When the small meteorite enters the atmosphere, it is wiped away and becomes a dazzling meteor in the night sky. Even if it successfully enters the atmosphere, the dome that has been heavily researched and manufactured can withstand it.

Large, threatening meteorites will be directly and remotely destroyed by the Ares and Hades stationed above.

But the moon...

The dome can only be used to resist those small and unremarkable meteorites, so the wine sea colony cannot be expanded to the fearlessness of Mars.

As for the Mars base, it is located in the north of Mars City.

The military base did not use a dome composed of pieces, but instead used the hardest core method to build——

Steel, iron, titanium alloys.

From a distance, it is a huge steel fortress.

In terms of weapons, there are artillery of various calibers, anti-aircraft guns, missile launching bays, and near-anti-aircraft arrays with bewitching gunshots.

As for the Pelican, FX and B-65, as well as new types of siege tanks and support boats, they are parked inside the fort and cannot be spied on.

The scale is more than ten times that of the Troy base, and it is the largest base in Umbrella and the base with the most investment.

Codenamed'fortress'.

Within a few minutes, the Phantom, under the control of two artificial intelligences, steadily docked directly above the base.

Upon seeing this, William turned and prepared to leave the bridge.

While passing by the center console, she pulled out Serena's chip and put it in her pocket, and whispered to Cortana:

"Cortana, inform Colonel Victor that I am going to enter the fort and inspect.

The Phantom is temporarily managed by you. If Dr. Halsey has any needs, please remind me as soon as possible."

"Yes, boss." Cortana nodded.

Leave the bridge.

Coming to the deck corridor, just putting on the small earphones, William heard Serena's voice saying: "Boss, do you need all Alphas to gather in the hangar?"

"No." William shook his head slightly and said:

"Hank and the others also need to rest, besides, all the colonies are Umbrella's territory. Let the blue team kids go down to me."

"Yes, I have notified the Spartans to go to the hangar."

"Very well, let me report the details of Mars."

"Yes, Mars..."

During the conversation between William and Serena, he walked through the corridors and came to the hangar under the Phantom.

I saw a group of Marines and paratroopers wearing black short-sleeved shorts, under the leadership of Hudson and Hicks, shouting neat slogans, running around the deck for training.

And the three Spartans in Umbrella's black officer uniforms were also standing by the Pelican waiting for William's arrival.

Myron still looked carefree, looking around.

Carl, who has long white hair, has a quiet look, and he is just waiting.

As for John...

Still a cold, unsmiling state.

When everyone saw William entered the hangar, they stopped their work and prepared to salute him.

"Okay." William took the lead and said loudly: "I don't need to salute every time I come, there are not so many rules on the Phantom."

"Yes." (xN)

"Haha." Hudson whispered to Hicks just after the words:

"What am I talking about, the boss must be approachable, come on, give the money, you lose the bet."

After speaking, Hudson stretched out his hand with a smirk.

"Hey... here you are." Hicks looked helpless, reached out from his trouser pocket and took out a wrinkled banknote and handed it to Hudson.

William, who has excellent hearing, can hear the conversation clearly even if the Marines are far away.

However, he didn't say much. Only by having more marines on the Phantom could make this place more alive.

Then he took the blue team trio into the Pelican, let the Spartans sit in the cabin and wait, and he walked into the cockpit.

The Pelican has a large cockpit space, good visibility, and stepped seats.

The gunner sits at the front end, and the pilot sits behind it.

And William stood by the pilot's side, squeezed the handle on the right hand side, and whispered: "Take us down."

"Yes."

Following a brief conversation, the pilot controlled the Pelican, guided by the ground crew holding red glow sticks in both hands, and came to the elevator.

decline.

Enter the decompression chamber.

Decompression is complete.

To deliver.

call-!

After completing a series of procedures, the Pelican shook slightly and left the decompression chamber of the Phantom.

The alien scene in the Martian atmosphere came into view.

But the pilot did not appreciate it, but controlled the Pelican to descend, and soon hovered to the top of the fort.

He also reported in a low voice: "Fort, this is Yigo One, request to land, it's over."

"The fort received it, please go to Valve Seven."

"Roger that."

When the communication was over, the Pelican slowly flew towards the valve with the number 7.

Hover.

The valve opens.

decline.

The valve is closed.

Supercharge.

A regular flight mission was completed cleanly.

Through the window of the machine, I saw that the elevator platform where the Pelican was located was moving and entered the huge warehouse inside the fort, and then the elevator platform descended and stopped.

Upon seeing this, William returned to the cabin and said to the three Spartans who had already got up: "Come with me."

"Yes." (x3)

The rear hatch opens.

The four were greeted by a group of lieutenants in neat uniforms, and the commander-in-chief of the fort, Colonel Mikhail Victor.

Victor led a group of lieutenants to salute, and smiled boldly at William: "Boss, long time no see."

"Hehe, it's been a while."

William also walked out of the Pelican with a slight smile, came to Victor's side and said: "Take me to the fortress and Mars City."

"Yes."
