Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

21:32

At this time, in the West Coast base building complex, there was no one but a few marines on duty, because most of the employees were enjoying barbecue and wine.

So there are only a few unlucky, dedicated marines left in the base.

.

The staff accommodation area on the north side of the base.

Street lights illuminated.

I saw that William was running wildly with Halsey in his arms, and Halsey was snuggling in William's arms and buried his face in his chest.

After all, the two of them were excited and curious about what was going to happen next, and they were a little timid.

It's all 'first time'.

Soon, the 'disturbed' two arrived at their destination - Halsey's bedroom.

William freed his hand to open the door, walked in, and closed the door with a kick, creating absolute privacy for the two of them.

It's dark inside.

But it was obvious to William's vision.

Halsey's bedroom is a standard single room, one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. Fortunately, there is a double sofa in the living room for the two of them to "use".

But just entered the room...

"Di-! Di-!"

There was an emergency gathering alarm from outside the base, and Serena's reminder through the broadcast: "Anomalous phenomena have been detected, please take the place of armed personnel.

Repeat, detected..."

This change can be regarded as completely extinguished the desire in the hearts of the two.

Halsey hurriedly tidied up her clothes, propped up William who was on top of her, and panted softly:

"This... wait until the abnormal phenomenon is resolved... let's do it again."

"Hey..." William knew that it would be no fun to do it reluctantly, so he could only say helplessly:

"Well, work is urgent."

The place is right and the people are different.

William never expected that abnormal phenomena would suddenly appear at this time, or when he was about to 'become a real man'.

There are thousands of words in his heart, but William feels that only the words that condense the most essence and culture of China can represent his feelings.

'Grass. ’

…

Time: 21:45

Location: Command Center on Minos Island.

The smell of cumin and barbecue fills the high-tech Umbrella command center, and the originally smooth and bright floor also carries some sand.

It's just that the relaxed and entertaining atmosphere of the bonfire party was not brought in by the employees, but immediately entered the working state and waited for it.

central.

William, Halsey, Kent, John, and Hank surrounded the electronic table.

Cortana and Serena, the two female artificial intelligences are also 'standing' on the electronic table, discussing the situation with everyone.

Holding his chin in his hand, William, who frowned tightly, looked at the screen on the table and asked Serena:

"Selina, what exactly happened to make you pull the alarm?"

"boss."

Serena said, and then controlled the system to present the satellite map of Africa in front of everyone, explaining:

"The United States has 29 military bases in Africa. I usually monitor their communication channels to more easily control the detailed information of Africa."

Serena said here, zooming out the map of Africa and focusing on the northern regions, and continued:

"In order to control oil resources, the U.S. military has built the largest military base in Africa in Djibouti, which is located next to the Strait of Mandeb facing Yemen."

The picture on the screen zooms in again until it shows a 500-acre military base with a tarmac, operations center, training ground, and recreational facilities.

and general data.

Sign: Camp Lemonnier.

Number of people: About 2,000 people.

Commander: Major General Orles Hoot.

.

Immediately afterwards, Serena stood in the center of the screen, looking around the crowd and said solemnly:

"Everyone, Lemonier's force is a joint task force, and its personnel are the elite from the sea, land, air and marine corps.

It is used to protect the shipping lanes of the strait, carry out operations such as infiltration and anti-terrorism, and is also commanded by Major General Holt, who participated in the Iraq War.

In terms of equipment and experience, it can support a small and medium-scale war.

But not long ago, the Pentagon completely lost contact with Lemonier.

It was initially determined that Lemonier had been attacked by some abnormal phenomenon and had fallen. "

"."

Hearing this, everyone's faces became more solemn.

Those are the elites of the 2,000 US troops, not the scumbags of the 2,000 warlords and militia.

"Selina." William, who remained calm, said to Serena:

"Since you usually monitor their communications, did you happen to be listening to a call about an anomalous phenomenon?"

"Yes."

Then, Serena played the communication she copied down.

——————

…

first paragraph.

It was the guard at the north gate of Camp Lemonier, reporting between them and their command building (HQ).

Guard: "HQ, there is movement at the north gate."

HQ: "What's the situation?"

Guard: "From the smoke and dust, it looks like a truck moving at high speed... I took a look at it with thermal imaging."

HQ: "Received."

after a few seconds.

Guard: "(in a puzzled tone) HQ, it's so strange that the thermal imager can't see anything, but that thing is still charging straight at us."

HQ: "A car with an improvised explosive device (IED)?"

Guard: "Not sure it's IDE, wait, the visual distance is about 200 meters... 100 meters... 50 meters... Fake! Then he is a person! Fire! Fire!"

"Papa! Papa!" A loud and dense noise of rifles and heavy machine guns came from the communication.

"Ah-!" and the screams of some kind of person or creature.

Guard: "HQ! Enemy attack! Enemy attack! We have been attacked, let everyone... (the sound of bones being crushed from the communication)."

Communication failed.

Second paragraph.

According to Serena, there was no more than five minutes between the time of the first audio and it came from the command building of Camp Lemonier.

Holt: "(In a hoarse and excited tone) All units report the situation!"

There were intermittent gunshots and explosions in the communication.

A certain captain: "Sir! We have suffered heavy casualties! Please lead the remaining troops to the bunker to escape!"

Holt: "The bunker? Go to his bunker, give me a gun, my subordinates died inexplicably, so I can't just hide!"

A certain captain: "(Whispering in a low voice) You guys, hurry up and take the major general away, we will stay here for the rest."

Soldiers: "Yes, Captain."

Holt: "(Doubt and anger) What are you doing? What are you doing! Release me! Are you going to disobey the military order (the voices are getting farther and farther away)."

After half a minute.

"what--!"

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

In the audio, there are the screams of unknown creatures, and the sound of bursts and strafes of various firearms.

A certain captain: "(trying to issue a warning) This is Camp Lemonier, we have... sho (busy sound)..."

Communication failed.

And Camp Lemonier has completely lost contact with the Pentagon and the outside world.
