Containment control starts with the umbrella

"Boss, Chief Sergeant."

As Serena said, she shared the footage captured by the drone and presented it on the helmet screens of William and John.

On the street not far from the motorcade, a man in ragged clothes was struggling to run, clutching his bloody abdomen.

And behind that person, there are four'dark shadows' that resemble humans, chasing it...or him.

The four'dark shadows' didn't seem to be anxious to catch up with that person, but kept a steady distance with him.

When the severely injured person in the abdomen escaped into a subway entrance similar to a human city, these "dark shadows" stopped chasing.

Immediately afterwards, the'dark shadows' just circled the entrance of the subway and communicated silently.

Upon seeing this, William frowned slightly, and he always felt a sense of familiarity with the'dark shadow' on the screen.

After thinking for a moment, he could only helplessly shook his head.

"Boss!" At this moment, a paratrooper who was in charge of guarding at the back of the convoy reminded in the communication:

"Found abnormality."

"Boss, we have it here too!"

Soon, the paratroopers in other positions also reported loudly in the communication.

Hearing the sudden change, William, John and others also looked around.

I saw the'dark shadows' shot by the drone, coming out of the shadows that could not be illuminated by the sun, and waving their arms towards the convoy.

Upon seeing this, William immediately ordered: "Fire!"

"Yes!"

"Da! Da Da!"

After being approved, the three Spartans and four classes of paratroopers pulled the trigger one after another, using all kinds of weapons in their hands to launch an attack.

William also immediately guarded Serena behind him, holding the M41A, and spit out a dazzling "fire snake" at a black shadow.

Although William led the reconnaissance team, he had all kinds of firepower, especially a Warthog equipped with a 90mm Gauss cannon.

What's more, the members are the superhuman Spartans, and the elite of the elite, the mad tooth shark paratrooper class.

but…

Everyone's Gaussian spike bullets and shellless blasting bullets were completely ineffective against those dark shadows, like a punch on the cotton.

Just look at the spiked bullets that emit blue light, passing straight through the body of the black shadow, and the shellless blasting bullets also pass through their bodies, hitting the walls and the ground before they explode.

"Boss!" Serena, standing behind William, quickly reminded her boss:

"These things seem to be invisible, our physical attacks are invalid, we need to retreat as soon as possible!"

"Good!" William had no objection at all, and waved his hand: "Everyone boarded the car!"

"Yes!"

After getting the order, everyone gave up their attack on Sombra and began to quickly return to the Warthog.

As everyone boarded the Warthog in an orderly manner, within a few seconds, the convoy began to move again, all turning around and returning to the same path.

Originally the lead car driven by the Spartans turned into a chaser due to a U-turn. This gave Myron, who was holding a rotating Gauss cannon, a chance to vent.

I saw Myron pointed the six-barreled gun at the group of black shadows that followed, and roared extremely uncomfortably:

"No matter what demons and monsters you are, Lao Tzu Sparta is not afraid of it! Besides, we still have the goddess of victory to bless me, let me die!"

"DaDaDa!"

"Puff! Puff!"

However, with the crisp sound of the rotating Gauss cannon, the shadows who had been attacked by the spiked bullets took a while, as if they were really attacked.

"Shoo~!"

Carl, sitting in the co-pilot's position, saw that Myron's attack seemed effective, and he also pulled the trigger of the electromagnetic sniper rifle.

"Boom---!"

However, the blue trajectory with the thick wrist went straight through the shadows, and then hit a building behind the shadows, causing a violent explosion.

???

Carl couldn't believe her eyes, it was obvious that Myron's attack was effective, but her attack still seemed to hit the air.

"Is it true that stupid people have stupid blessings?" Cardian could not help asking himself.

"What's the matter?" asked John, who was concentrating on driving.

"It's okay." Carl shook his head slightly and continued to observe her somewhat'magical' brother.

Although Myron's attack could not kill those shadows, it could still stop them from chasing down, making the distance between them and the team bigger.

In the end, when the convoy came to the vast desert, the group of dark shadows completely disappeared from the Spartans' vision.

William, who was sitting on the third Warthog, also received Halsey’s communication:

"William, what happened to you?"

"We had a brief exchange of fire with a...a thing that I am not sure if it is a living thing. The physical attack seemed to be completely ineffective against them." William replied.

"Hum...I have received the video message from Serena."

Halsey was silent for a few seconds, seeming to think briefly.

Then he said: "It seems that the disappearance of civilization on Kepler 22-b has something to do with the enemy you encountered, William, you should withdraw from that space first."

"it is good."

.

Within half an hour, the convoy returned to the pyramid that was about to be swallowed by yellow sand.

William also asked the Marines and technicians who stayed here to return to Kepler 22-b with them.

This kind of thing that cannot be solved by firearms can be regarded as an anomaly found outside the earth, and it is very likely to be an anomaly that led to the destruction of higher civilizations.

…

After the reconnaissance team led by William came into contact with the anomaly code-named'Shadow', the Zero Fleet suspended development of the remains on Kepler 22-b.

Because the'shadow' cannot be physically attacked, coupled with its very strong hostility and other characteristics, it is temporarily classified as Euclid.

The Zero Fleet went into combat and discussed how to deal with the'shadows' and whether it was necessary to contain them.

After all, the location of their planet is unknown, and they may even be in a galaxy outside the Milky Way.

…

Mobile base station next to the ruins group.

Small meeting room.

William, Halsey, John, Karl, and Myron sit behind the U-shaped table, while Serena, wearing a prosthetic body, stands in the center of the U-shaped table.

Serena used the holographic projection in the conference room to explain the situation to everyone present.

I saw the projection video playing, it was Myron’s individual cameras, and the “shadows” who suffered setbacks.

Halsey, who saw this abnormality, asked: "John, Carl, you were on a Warthog with Myron at the time. Could your attack be ineffective?"

"Yes." Carl nodded immediately: "I also attacked them after seeing that Mellen's attack was effective, but the result... still penetrated straight."

"This is strange..." Halsey became more confused.

"Haha~!" Mellen said with a nonchalant smile: "Maybe I really have some blessing."
