Containment control starts with the umbrella

19:55.

The originally scarlet sky in the barrier area became even darker because of the night.

Nevertheless, the northern sky is still illuminated by the huge cracks in the original Cairo city.

If you stand on the top of the sand dunes and look up, the scene is the same as the apocalyptic in various myths and legends, and everything seems dead and silent.

But if you calm down, you can still vaguely hear screams and miserable howls.

"Om-."

At this time, the low noise of a large number of hydrogen engines resounded in this desert.

I saw a convoy composed of the Warthog, traversing the desert on the east bank of the Nile, moving fast in the direction of Suez.

Its target is Israel, which borders Egypt to the east.

The straight-line distance between them and Suez is still forty kilometers, but when you look southwest from here, you can see a bloody scene.

The convoy is only more than ten kilometers away from the original Cairo city center.

In this position, if the giant Anubis stationed on the outskirts of Cairo wants to observe carefully, theoretically, the existence of the convoy should be found.

Especially at the rear of the convoy, Myron controlled the Gauss cannon, aiming motionless in the southwest direction.

The same was true for Carl, the co-pilot. She stood up and put the Gauss sniper rifle on the frame of the car, also aimed at the southwest.

After all, they have manipulated the divine body, but they know the super distant vision of the divine body.

Like a convoy of more than thirty Warthogs, in a vast desert, there is absolutely no way to ignore it.

Focusing on driving, John didn't glance to the back, but asked quietly: "A-004 report."

Through the observation of the Gauss sniper rifle, Carl reported in a calm tone: "The one closest to us is watching the convoy, but it did not take action."

"Well, A-004 continues to monitor the movement in the direction of Cairo. If they try to chase and then fire, there is no need to alarm them." John said.

"Yes." Carl nodded.

"A-003." Then, John ordered Melan again: "Be aware of the surrounding movement, Cairo has A-004 attention is enough."

"Yes." Mellen immediately controlled the Gauss cannon to swing to the other side, following John's instructions.

Afterwards, the communication fell into silence again, and only the heavy breathing could be heard clearly.

After a long time.

When the convoy was far enough away from the outskirts of Luo City and the boundary of the barrier could be seen with the naked eye, the stone hanging in everyone's heart finally fell.

For the Spartans and Hell paratroopers, it is not fear of death, but fear that they will encounter the blockade of those giant Anubis, which will result in the inability to transmit the information inside the barrier in time.

However, the accompanying UNSC and civilians were thankful that their lives were saved.

"Sergeant Chief." At this moment, Cortana reminded John:

"I scanned the boundary of the barrier and compared it with the data before our airborne. I found that it was expanded by several kilometers."

?

Hearing this, John said quietly: "It seems that this barrier that can disable the flight vehicle and communication is not static. The disaster must be resolved as soon as possible."

Cortana, who appeared on the helmet screen, also nodded in agreement.

Then he said: "I think the boss and Dr. Halsey should have noticed this phenomenon earlier than us. Now we only need to share the information we have."

"Ok."

"Sergeant!"

While John and Cortana were talking, Michelle was a little excited in the communication: "You are about to cross the edge of the barrier, please be prepared."

The voice just fell.

The convoy passed through the thick'cloud wall' in turn, and finally passed through this barrier to the outside world.

"Hey...hey...this is...the end...Kota...please answer."

John's communication also heard intermittent Serena's voice, as if trying to establish contact with Cortana.

Simultaneously.

Outside the barrier border is the town of Sdebok in Israel, and the UNSC army wearing mechanical skeletons and unified dark green uniforms is also gathered in the town.

The UBCS to which Umbrella belongs is also stationed near the border to prevent any abnormal phenomena from rushing out.

There are also a large number of UNSC versions of the'thumping' siege tanks, which become cannons and are placed on the rear front.

As if to completely blockade this land, no entry or exit is allowed.

Of course, except for the investigative team led by John and Michel.

All the people in the convoy, especially civilians, UNSC soldiers and policemen, were very excited after seeing such a large army.

For them, it's just an afterthought.

Upon seeing this, Michel and the paratroopers were also relieved, after all, they completed the reconnaissance mission.

"Endless." And Cortana also contacted Serena after the communication was completely restored:

"This is Cortana. We have successfully obtained the details of this anomaly and are uploading."

"Received, we are arranging for the Pelican to assist you in returning to the Endless." Serena said.

"Also." Cortana did not forget to remind Serena: "Sergeant Chief and I think it is best to have Athena's support for this containment operation."

"Okay, I will inform Athena of Minos that six Pelicans are expected to arrive at your place in ten minutes."

"Thanks a lot." Cortana thanked.

After the dialogue between the two artificial intelligences, the Warthog fleet also stopped in the front line formed by UNSC and UBCS.

The civilians and policemen were taken away by Umbrella technicians wearing white uniforms. After checking their bodies, they would be amnesticized.

The surviving UNSC soldiers also need to be checked. As for whether the memory needs to be erased, a decision will be made after the containment operation.

…

Time: April 15, 2015.

Location: The large combat meeting room of Infinity.

20:40.

Seated in the conference room were hell paratroopers, school and lieutenant-level officers from the reloaded Marines, and the captains of the four Spartan teams.

Sitting in the center of the first row were William and Athena, who also wore military uniforms.

And standing at the forefront of the meeting room is Serena with a prosthetic body.

She used the holographic projection in the conference room to present a schematic diagram of Egypt and the barrier area in front of everyone, and a large number of coordinates were also circled on the map.

These include towns where ghost soldiers gather, and deserts on the outskirts of Cairo.

She raised her hand and explained: "Everyone, we know from the investigation data of the Spartan Blues that there are a lot of abnormal phenomena in these areas.

We have to face the god of underworld in Egyptian legends and myths, and it still exists in the plural... Anubis.

In view of the interference with communications and flight vehicles in the barrier area, Infinity is responsible for airdropping paratroopers and reloading marines, and is mainly responsible for ultra-long-range artillery coverage.

The ground forces are under the command of General Ostrovsky (Andrei), leading the UBCS and UNSC armies, entering the barrier area from the borders.

Once ground forces enter the barrier area, the construction of wired communication will be carried out as soon as possible to ensure smooth communication.

The estimated time for the containment operation is 21:30."
