Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Chapter 196 'Ghost of War'

Date: April 17, 2011.

Name: Multinational Alliance Air Force Base.

Coordinates: 47°N, 28°E

Narration:

The air base is located on the eastern plains of Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, and is the main air base of the multinational alliance, with a permanent population of about 2,000 people.

With the assistance of the multinational coalition, government forces recaptured a large area of ​​the capital in early 2011.

But to this day, the rebels in the capital are still guerrilla fighting with government forces and the multinational coalition, and the situation is deadlocked.

.

Hours after Sergeant Davis was killed, at 22:54 local time in Moldova.

A huge Um-255 transport plane flew in the night sky of Chisinau towards the air base in the eastern plains.

Extend the landing gear and make a slow descent, then land firmly on the runway, taxiing for a while and then stopping.

Seeing that Um-255 was stationary and standing beside the hangar for a long time, Colonel James Orland, who had been waiting for a long time, led several fully armed deltas towards the hatch at the rear of the Um-255 cabin.

The hatch is open.

The first to walk out was the task force wearing AAES II and also fully armed, followed by the USS wearing biochemical armor and a large number of technicians.

And Umbrella's operational commander, Captain Karina Les Pruss, also wore biochemical armor, but she didn't let the armored helmet cover her face.

With short black female hair, although she has a beautiful face, her slightly wrinkled brows and her chilling eyes make no one think she is a 'vase'.

As for Captain Prouss, the advisor sent by Umbrella, Rebecca Chambers.

Rebecca is only in the early stages of pregnancy and will not affect her normal work, and she is also one of the few researchers with practical experience.

More than 400 people got off the Um-255 transport plane, and under the guidance of the crew, prepared to move boxes of weapons supplies out of the cabin.

The Colonel Orende approached Prouss and Rebecca, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm the head of this air force base, Colonel James Orende."

"Hello." Pruss reached out and shook hands with Orend, and said in a low voice in English with a French accent:

"Umbrella's Private Unit, Commander of Mobile Task Force Gamma, Captain Karina Les Pruss."

Saying that, Prouss looked at Rebecca beside him and introduced together: "She is the consultant for this operation, Dr. Rebecca Chambers.

Hope the Colonel will listen more to her advice, after all Umbrella is much better at dealing with anomalies than your regular army. "

"No problem." Orend had no objection.

"All right."

Because her husband is Li Mu, Rebecca's state when she was performing the task was no longer the "little white" she used to be. Instead, she waved her hand and said bluntly:

"There is no need to say more, Colonel, I think you should have more information."

"That's right." Orend nodded, swung his hand to a building inside the base and said:

"For the specific situation, let's talk about it with us when we enter the base."

"it is good."

.

Immediately, the Gamma contingent was organized outside under the order of Prouss, and she led Rebecca and several USS to follow the colonel and entered the base to discuss together.

——————

Conference room in the main building of the Air Force base.

Orend signaled to the staff at the base to turn on the multi-screen projection equipment in the conference room, and introduced Rebecca and Pruss to the seats:

"Because Delta Force uses your Umbrella Soldier System, the helmet's visor and holographic glasses provide multiple visions for our soldiers.

In the past week, the glasses and face shields of six soldiers have been photographed with this kind of thing. "

As Orend said, the projection screen at the front of the conference room played five video images at the same time under the operation of the staff.

I saw that the videos are all first-person perspectives, and most of them are thermal imaging and night vision functions.

There are dynamic reminders in the audio of each screen, dialogues with soldiers reporting to the base that their individual soldiers may be broken, and so on.

And when the dynamic alert peaks and makes a screeching sound, there's a 'contour' of something flashing across the video.

After that, the dynamic reminder returned to normal, and the soldiers and the base also believed that the system was malfunctioning, so they did not continue to investigate.

see.

Rebecca looked at Orend and said softly, "Then the sixth video is from Sergeant Davis."

"Yes." Orende said solemnly: "Davis is the elite in the Delta, but he was killed by something, an invisible thing."

"I can't see." Rebecca frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the autopsy results?"

Instead of answering in a hurry, Orend waved his hand and signaled the staff to continue playing the autopsy data of Sergeant Davis.

And said: "The cause of death is also very strange. His internal organs were instantly frozen, but his skin seemed to be burned and eroded."

Rebecca browsed the data, and the word 'chuan' between her eyebrows became more and more obvious. It seemed that she didn't know what she was going to face this time.

At this time, Orend added: "In fact, in the past week, we have also found bodies with similar causes of death to Sergeant Davis.

The locals are still spraying the words 'Aratare' at the scene of the accident, and with Davis' death, I think it's very likely that some kind of supernatural creature caused it. "

"Aratare?" Rebecca asked suspiciously.

"It's a legend here, which means 'like a demon, a ghost of war'," explained Orende.

"Ghost?" Purus, who was always silent, was stunned, and tried to ask Rebecca beside him, "Is it something like Wendigo?"

"No." Rebecca shook her head and said, "Wendigo is invisible and possessed, and since the so-called 'war ghost' can be dynamically detected this time, it means that it is an entity."

"If it's an entity... Then why did Sergeant Davis' firing have no effect?" Orend asked rhetorically.

Rebecca shook her head slightly, closed her eyes slightly and said softly: "The entity does not necessarily mean that it can be killed by rifle ammunition. To find out what it is, you need clearer images and more detailed data."

Speaking of which.

Rebecca opened her eyes, stood up, looked at Orend and said, "Our company does not have a scanning function in the individual soldier system sold to you."

"Scanning function?" Orende was a little confused.

On the other hand, Prouss, who also got up, explained to the slightly gray-haired colonel: "The scanning system, combined with the motion detection function you know, can clearly see the situation even when the visibility is zero."

Hearing this, Orend said with a smile on his face: "That's great, as long as the 'war ghost' can be resolved."

"Yeah." Prous nodded and said, "Then please send the Colonel to send the elites under your command to act as a guide for our reconnaissance team into the city."

"no problem."
