Early the next morning.

07:12.

"Ivan, Yelena, hurry up and eat!"

William, who was preparing for the morning behind the kitchen bar on the first floor, yelled his probe towards the stairs at the end of the corridor.

"Here~!"

Having changed her school uniform, Yelena rushed to the corner of the stairs with her schoolbag, and then jumped easily to the first floor.

As she walked to the dining table in the living room, she asked William, "Dad, what are you eating today?"

William came to the living room with the large dinner plates in his left and right hands, put one of the plates in front of Yelena, smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry today, so I just do it casually."

Yelena looked at the dinner plate placed in front of her. On it was a sandwich made of vegetables, luncheon meat, cheese, fried poached eggs and soy sauce dipping sauce.

Although William said to do it casually, the appearance of the plate seems to be better than those of the servants who are still enjoying the holiday.

Immediately Yelena picked up the sandwich, opened her small mouth and took a bite. After chewing carefully, her eyes widened slightly, and she watched William who had returned to the bar and mumbled:

"Dad! It's obviously delicious~!"

"Haha." William took the share between him and Halsey, just smiled lightly, and was used to his daughter's sweetness.

At this time, Ivan and Halsey came to the living room together, and after sitting at the dining table, he noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere, and asked Halsey:

"Mother, have you encountered war or anomalies again?"

"Not sure yet." Halsey said to her son with a smile: "Today we are going to the Philippines to confirm."

"Really..." Ivan nodded lightly, seemingly used to his parents running around the world, and said:

"Then you pay attention to safety."

"Don't worry." William, who placed the dinner plate on the table, sat beside Halsey and interjected: "With John, they, and your father and me, things can't happen."

"Ah..." Yelena said in frustration, "I also hope my dad can pick us up from school today..."

"I'll pick you up from school after a few days, OK?" William comforted.

"Okay..." Yelena can only agree to nod.

After that, the family ate a simple breakfast and was responsible for picking up Yelena and Ivan's USS, and still formed a convoy to the two children's school.

While William and Halsey drove two SUVs to the Troy base on the outskirts of Hafa, accompanied by the Blue Team and Cortana.

09:45.

The two SUVs came to the Troy base unimpeded.

The current Troy base is already Umbrella’s largest base on the earth, and there is no one.

There is a defensive electromagnetic acceleration gun in the center of the base, and a large number of air defense weapons have been built on the surrounding walls.

At the same time, 20 assault-type mobile suits, a large number of Viking fighters and FX were deployed to ensure the safety of Hafa City.

After all, Hafa is the starting place of Umbrella, and there is one of Umbrella’s foundations, the Hive Research Center, underground.

As for the 100-meter-high Thor that was produced in accordance with Andre’s requirements, it is still placed in a prominent position on the base, and it has also been upgraded by the arsenal with an anti-gravity system and an energy shield.

William and the others greeted Andre, and took the Pelican to the Infinity, which was already parked in low-Earth orbit.

10:55.

Endless, in a conference room near the Hangar 4th area.

"Huh-."

With the sound of the automatic door opening, William walked into the conference room with John who was still only in military uniform.

I saw Mike, wearing a dark gray general uniform of the Marine Corps, sitting on the left side of the U-shaped table, frowning at the information displayed on the ultra-thin computer in his hand.

Mike, who is over 60, has paler hair and temples, and more wrinkles on his face.

But even so, Mike is still dangling the iconic lit cigar, as if he didn't care that he would get lung cancer.

In fact...

When Andre ate the fruit of life, William also gave Mike the fruit of life, so the lieutenant did not have to worry about lung cancer.

Mike saw William and John approach the conference room, put the cigar in his left hand and pressed it in the ashtray on the table to make it go out, and left the seat with a smile with his arms spread out:

"William, our uncle and nephew have not seen each other for a while."

"Yes." William also spread his arms and hugged Mike briefly, and said with emotion to the veteran:

"All regions of the earth can maintain relative stability, and the containment fleet can also deal with anomalies in an orderly manner, all with the assistance of the Lieutenant General and the Marine Corps of the First Fleet."

"Hehe." Mike shook his head with his hands behind his back, smiling:

"This is what I should do, and William, you have allowed me to live forever. Then I should spare this old life and continue to fight for Russell and for you."

"Oh, you are not old now, Lieutenant General. Compared to immortality, you are now a small meat." William joked with a smile.

"Haha, yes, Xiao Xianrou." Mike also followed with a smile.

"Boss." Just when the two "Uncle and Nephew" recounted the past, Serena's holographic projection was generated in the meeting room and reported to William Hui:

"According to your instructions, the zeroth and first fleets have arrived two hundred meters above the surface of the Mariana Trench."

"Okay." William just waved his hand lightly, indicating that he already knew.

Serena bowed slightly to William and Mike, and turned off the projection she had generated in the conference room.

Then William put his hand to the automatic door of the conference room and smiled at Mike: "Lieutenant General, go with me to breathe the fresh air on the Philippine sea, how about?"

"Of course you can, go."

Mike left the meeting room with William with his hands behind his back, and John followed behind them without saying a word.

Coming to the deck corridor, the three walked towards the fourth area of ​​the hangar of the Infinity.

"William, I just read the information Serena helped prepare." During the period, Mike said to William:

"If you think about it according to Catherine's speculation, then the anomaly that the company has to face is likely to be older than what we humans call God?"

"Yes." William did not deny: "More than 70% of the earth is covered by water. Not long ago, Spartan B-019 killed a giant octopus 300 meters long.

What makes the scalp numb is that this giant octopus is underage, so how old can it be?

And this is the first recorded killing of a behemoth in the sea in human history. Catherine was afraid that this action would break the delicate balance between humans and behemoths, so she asked the company to lock their positions in advance. And be prepared for defense.

As for the place where the giant beast lives, it is most likely the deepest place in the world, the Mariana Trench.

The environment there is too harsh, and only the containment item'Water Elf' can help us quickly scan this area."
