Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Chapter 388: The First Confrontation

In the channel of the junction point.

Thirty-two people including Hicks, Hudson, and Yulia decided to go to the laboratory of Hozett Enterprise in the seventh city after hearing the piercing alarm and repeated emergency notifications.

The group of people still turned on the optical camouflage function and ran towards the civilian rail train station.

On the way forward, the crowd did not find any soldiers from the UNSC Army or Hozett Enterprise.

"Crack! Crack!"

"what…"

Instead, they heard gunshots and screams from a distance.

A group of people who heard such movements suddenly realized that this sudden incident might be much more serious than they had imagined.

Hicks, behind the helmet, glanced at the thumbnail in the upper left corner out of the corner of his eye, and followed the planned route to the site.

But soon, a large number of yellow cursors flashed on the thumbnail, which meant that there were a large number of 'people' or 'things' at the site ahead.

"Stop." Seeing this, Hicks immediately stopped the running team.

And this is the dedicated channel for employees, who can directly reach the platform on the east side of the station only through the left turn corner in front.

"Go forward slowly, there may be abnormal creatures ahead."

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel."

After hearing Hicks' order, everyone also slowed down, relying on the stealth strength of the RPA power armor, and almost silently passed the corner to the entrance of the passage.

! ! !

It's just that after seeing the scene on the site, everyone was shocked.

At this time, they happened to see a group of aliens surrounding the isolation gate, yelling at each other as if they were discussing countermeasures, and then dismembered a smaller alien.

What surprised Hicks and the others was that this group of aliens actually used the body parts and blood of their companions to corrode a gap in the isolation gate to pass through.

"Fuck..."

Hudson, who was squatting halfway beside Hicks, couldn't help sighing in a low voice on the internal communication of the helmet after seeing such a scene:

"This group of creatures that look like beasts actually know how to work as a team?"

"Cruel teamwork." Hicks said in a deep voice: "Their blood is still strong acid, and it is extremely corrosive, even the gate made of this composite alloy can be easily corroded."

"hiss!!"

While the group was secretly observing the group of aliens, dozens of aliens sprang up from the stairs on both sides of the platform, rushing towards the gap of the isolation gate.

Because Hicks and the others were still in the tunnel, coupled with the excellent invisibility of the RPA power armor, they were not discovered by these aliens with a mission.

Soon, most of the dozens of aliens that appeared later passed through the gap, but they still left two aliens waiting here, as if to prevent survivors from escaping to city six through this gap.

"Lieutenant Colonel." Yulia looked at the two aliens standing in front of the gate, and asked Hicks: "What should I do? Do you want to kill these two aliens?"

"Wait a minute." Hicks said lightly:

"This group of abnormal creatures seems to have advanced intelligence. I wonder if they can find us who have turned on the optical camouflage."

Speaking, Hicks ordered Hudson: "Hudson, you go out first, and be careful not to make noise."

"Ah...why me?" Hudson complained slightly.

"Don't talk nonsense, go quickly." Hicks said.

"Hey... okay."

Hudson didn't complain anymore, but stood up, clenched the Gauss rifle in his hand, and slowly left the passage to the platform on the east side.

"hiss!!!"

When Hudson came to the center of the platform, the two aliens immediately howled at Hudson and were about to start attacking him.

"Grass! These beasts can see!"

After seeing the alien attack, everyone, including Hudson, pulled the triggers and unleashed special spike bombs on the two aliens.

"Puff puff!"

"Crack! Crack!"

Cooperating with a special suppressor, the Gauss gun fired with extremely low noise, immediately blasting the two aliens.

"Hey...!"

The sprayed green acidic blood began to corrode the surrounding rails and ground.

"Hui~" Hudson walked slowly to the edge of the platform, looked at the smoking rails and the ground, whistled and sighed:

"The bodies of these beasts are really brittle, they will collapse if you hit them."

"." Hicks also came to Hudson's side, looked at the two strange-shaped corpses, and guessed:

"I feel that their body structure seems to be that when they are injured to a certain extent, their bodies will self-destruct, spraying the strong acid blood in their bodies to carry out one-sided killing."

"It feels like they're the perfect killing 'machine'," Yulia interjected.

"And their perception ability is also very strong. Even the most advanced optical camouflage function can be spotted by them once they get close." Hicks said solemnly.

"Okay buddy." Instead, Hudson replaced a new magazine and said to Hicks:

"The work of analyzing these biological characteristics is left to the nerds (researchers) in the company, and I think it is time for us to move on."

"Hudson is right." Hicks nodded lightly, led the crowd to the stairs, and ordered:

"According to intelligence, the underground laboratory is built directly under the Huozett Enterprise Building in City 7. Since there is no information about the other party's underground passage, we have to go to the surface of the Huozett Building.

But if we find surviving citizens on the way forward, the task will be changed to protect the lives of citizens as a priority, waiting for the arrival of the Amber.

Did you hear that? "

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel!"

"Very good, let's go!"

Following the orders and responses, the thirty-two people walked quickly through the stairs and arrived at the security checkpoint on the upper floor of the site.

Moreover, the movement of them while running was also discovered by several aliens staying at the security checkpoint, and then...

"Poof! Poof!"

"hiss!!"

"Crack! Crack!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone took a fan-shaped position and began to shoot precisely at the aliens guarding here.

Thirty-two people are all lieutenant-level officers and agents with rich experience. Together with the shooting calibration of the RPA power armor, just a round of salvo will solve the few aliens left here.

However, the faces of everyone under the helmets became more solemn, because after this battle, they also found that these aliens were extremely vigorous and agile.

If they encountered dozens or hundreds of 'alien army', then they, Umbrella's elite, would not be able to withstand the impact of the aliens at all.

"Go ahead, the mission is changed to find the surviving citizens and contact the UNSC who are staying here."

"yes."

After hearing Hicks' order, the group of people still acted towards the surface without hesitation, and Hicks also canceled the mission to Hozett's underground laboratory.

After all, the underground laboratory must be the center of this incident. The number of aliens there is unpredictable. Sending them to investigate is undoubtedly an act of death.

Therefore, it is better to save the citizens as much as possible, wait for the arrival of the Amber, and then contact Umbrella's fleet through the Amber, requesting more troops for support.
