Containment control starts with the umbrella

Spartan A-007, inside John's airborne warehouse.

Through the few observation windows in front of him, John could clearly see the'flame' gradually burning outside the window.

Because it was passing through the black barrier area, the communication in the Thor's Hammer helmet contained only slight electrical noise.

At this time, Cortana's face appeared in the upper left corner of the helmet screen and reported to John Hui:

"Sergeant Chief, it is estimated that communication can be resumed in 30 seconds. We are about 40 kilometers above the coordinated location and 35 kilometers from the entry barrier."

"Ok."

John was still a face without emotion, and nodded lightly after hearing Cortana's report.

Thirty seconds later.

"Hey...Senior...Chair...Please..." Michelle's intermittent voice came from the communication.

It took a few more seconds before communication was completely restored: "Sergeant Chief, you are the commander of this operation. What should we do after we enter the barrier area?"

Hearing that, John whispered without thinking: "The moment we enter the barrier zone, Cortana will test our individual communications.

If everyone fails to hear Cortana's voice, we will conduct wired communication after the airborne cabin lands.

As for the investigation plan, wait until we enter the barrier area and see the actual situation before making it."

"Hehe, it's Sparta, I can't hear the nervousness at all." Michelle laughed and teased.

"Yeah." John still replied briefly.

"..." This put the communication into a brief silence for a while.

suddenly.

"I'm going... everyone, look out the window!" Mellen's unique voice sounded through, breaking the small embarrassment caused by John.

Immediately, the sighs of Karl and Madtooth shark came from the communication:

"Gosh..."

"This time maybe a few hundred million will be gone."

"Haha! In order to cover us, the boss really took a lot of money."

Hearing the increasingly lively communication, John also looked away from the display screen beside him, and then looked out of the observation window of the warehouse door.

Just look at the countless missiles just skipping their airborne bays, with white'tails', quickly rushing towards the red barrier visible to the naked eye below.

"Shoo! Shoo!" At the same time, four'strong orange light beams' flashed.

This is a salvo of Yamato guns from battleships, used to strike unmanned desert areas in Egypt, and confuses the missiles together.

Tens of seconds after the Yamato Cannon salvo fired, Cortana reported to John Hui: "Sergeant Chief.

The UNSC troops stationed on the Egyptian border reported that, except for the smoke and dust of the shock wave, there were no abnormal phenomena or creatures running out of the barrier area."

Speaking of this, Cortana's tone sank and said: "No data can be measured for such a large-scale bombing...

Maybe the humans in Egypt have completely lost their signs of life."

But John replied quietly: "It may also be an anomaly, and I don't care about the attack on the Yamato Cannon."

"Don't care at all?" Cortana on the screen was taken aback and surprised:

"Although the penetrating power of the Yamato Cannon is not as good as the electromagnetic acceleration cannon, four low-power salvos are enough to make the whole of Egypt suffer."

"Okay." John said through the observation window on the bottom side of the cabin door, seeing the barrier getting closer and closer:

"Analysis out there is no result. Don't forget that our mission is to investigate. It's up to you to work later."

"Yes." Cortana also put away her surprised face, waiting for the airborne cabin to penetrate the barrier.

Huh-!

In an instant, John's airborne warehouse was the first to enter the barrier.

And outside the window seemed to be filled with blood-red smoke, and from time to time, dark red currents flashed through.

Immediately after that, the communication channel of the Yamato artillery and missile was still being discussed, but after entering the barrier, it fell completely silent.

Soon, there was no longer a bloody'dark cloud' outside the window, and the field of vision became wider.

John saw that other airborne tanks also passed through the barrier clouds and entered the territory of Egypt.

Visibility outside is moderate, but everything seems to be covered with red and it looks very dim.

"Sergeant Chief." Cortana said in John's ear:

"I tried to connect with the endless number, but besides the noise, it was noise. It was completely expected."

"Boom-boom-"

As soon as Cortana's voice fell, a series of small explosions came from below, which seemed to be caused by a salvo of missiles.

John looked at the display on the left and found that his airborne bay was only about one kilometer away from the ground, and the distance between it and the ground was rapidly shortening.

About to hit the ground...

"Hoo-!" The ejector at the bottom of the airborne tank was opened manually by John.

Accompanied by a violent vibration from the warehouse, the speed instantly dropped to a low point.

then…

With a muffled noise, John's airborne cabin crashed into the ground, splashing a lot of dust.

"Huh-! Hah-!" And more airborne warehouses smashed nearby.

Despite the high volume of movement, it is nothing compared to the aftermath of thousands of missiles and four-shot Yamato guns.

"Click-! Click-!"

An endless stream of bounced warehouse doors resounded through this medium-sized oasis.

John took out a plasma rifle and a large number of battery magazines and grenades, jumped out of the airborne bay, and ordered Cortana:

"Cortana, try the individual communication connection.

Also, monitor the presence of harmful substances in the air."

"It's already being done." Cortana replied.

And Carl, Myron, and the Madtooth Company led by Michel, who walked out of the airborne cabin, gathered their weapons and equipment near John.

"Sergeant."

At this moment, Cortana said in a pleasant tone: "The composition in the air is as usual, and the individual communication is not disturbed."

"Very good." John nodded lightly, and used the communication to order everyone:

"Major Michel, the four classes that vacated the madtooth shark are responsible for guarding, and the remaining people stay here to assemble the Warthog.

The blue team, follow me to the nearby sand dunes for reconnaissance operations."

"Yes." (x4)

The people who were given instructions began to split up.

Four classes of wild tooth sharks, holding standard pulse rifles and smart machine guns, scattered around the landing site and maintained high alert.

As for Myron and Carl, who were armed with a rotating Gauss gun and a Gauss sniper rifle, they followed John to leave the oasis and walk towards a higher sand dune outside the oasis.

Using the vision system provided by the helmet and Cortana's assistance, the three confirmed that there were no abnormal phenomena around them.

When the Thor's Hammers automatically adapted to the sandy environment, they speeded up and rushed towards the dunes.

The three of them came to the top and squatted down to look north.

I saw a scarlet gleam in the direction of Cairo.

Using the farsighted function of the helmet, I found that the entire Cairo seemed to be "cracked", and there were still huge figures in the outskirts of the city.

Upon seeing this, Myron couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "John... Carl... don't you think it is like...

Is it like an entrance to hell?"
