Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

"what…"

The Gravemind in the holographic window spit out a mouthful of disgusting breath, opened its petal-like mouth like a cannibal flower, and said in a thick nasal voice:

"Humans... let's have a good talk, don't come up and veto everything, maybe... we can still cooperate."

"Huh?" William, who had already walked to the center console, couldn't help raising his left eyebrow and asked back after hearing the corpse brain beast's words:

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation can there be between us? You are a species that can devour all intelligent life, and we humans dare not cooperate with you."

"Hehe..." Gravemind let out a deep laugh, and continued:

"It is true that we can devour everything, but... until now we have not devoured you humans, or your allies, the Sangheili.

On the contrary, it is the species created by you humans that slaughtered many of my compatriots.

Since we didn't hurt you, or your allies, I think we still have a chance to talk. "

"Hey, there's a fart." William replied in Chinese, and then continued:

"I can connect to your communication, even if it is to give you, the Flood with millions of brains, a face, to talk about cooperation? No need."

After speaking, William looked at Carmen sitting on the captain's seat from the corner of his eye, and raised his voice and said:

"Captain Ibanez, please help me throw four quantum bullets at the shield world, and annihilate this Mr. Gravemind who wants to live."

"No problem, boss." Carmen also responded with a smile on her face, and then said loudly to the crew on the first floor of the bridge:

"Prepare to fire tactical missiles and destroy targets as ordered by the boss."

"Missile pods four, five, six, and seven have been opened."

"The launch authorization has been obtained, the tactical missile has been launched, and it is expected to hit the target in four minutes."

Since the bridge is above the rear side of the Star Destroyer, it can clearly overlook the entire hull of the battleship

And following the report of the crew, everyone could also see four tactical missiles with white tail flames launching into the air through the huge porthole at the front of the bridge.

Immediately afterwards, the four tactical missiles made a 90-degree turn, accelerated and shot towards the shield world in an instant.

The Gravemind in the holographic window also heard and saw the launch of the tactical missile, and then his tone became a little anxious and anxious and said:

"Listen up, human! I know the existence of the 'Eternal Life', and I know its location!

Cancel the missile launch if you want to know about it! "

"Haha! I didn't expect that a corpse brain beast with millions of wisdom would have a moment of anger, tsk tsk."

William laughed and mocked at first, and then he restrained his smile, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said to Halsey beside him:

"Eternal... Well, where did I hear this name... Catherine, it seems that you mentioned it to me."

"Hmm." Halsey, who was standing on William's left hand side, nodded lightly without denying it, and then said:

"The Immortal is a Gravemind born from a pioneer who voluntarily became a 'material', and is also the first Gravemind recorded in Göbekli Tepe.

The forerunners called it 'primordia', and we ancient humans call it the immortal. "

Hearing this, William raised his left hand and squeezed his chin, looked at the corpse brain beast in the holographic window, and said in a deep voice:

"Original...? Hum... For us now, this is indeed a valuable message."

"Then..." Seeing that William seemed to be very interested, Gravemind continued as if he was chasing after the victory:

"Humans, we are no threat to you now, on this forerunner's fortress planet, there is no aircraft that can let us leave here.

So please cancel the launch of the missile, let us continue to live peacefully in this galaxy, how about? "

"Peace?" William raised his left eyebrow lightly, then clapped his hands and smiled again:

"That's right, we humans are the most 'peace-loving' race, but...

You are the complete opposite.

Anyway, I believe that you will never keep your promise, and it is absolutely impossible for you to tell the location of the primordium. After all, whether the primordium exists is still a problem.

As long as you Hongmo want to live together in peace, the ghosts will believe your words, so... accept the baptism of 'nuclear peace'. "

"No! You can't...how can you humans not be able to communicate?! This is impossible!!"

After hearing William's words, the Gravemind, which was composed of ghost-faced beasts, could no longer maintain its calmness before, and opened its petal-like giant mouth and roared:

"Without the acknowledgment of the immortals, you humans are destined not to be able to obtain the mantle of pioneers!! You..."

"Boom~——————!"

A loud noise interrupted the roar of the Gravemind Beast.

Just look at the Gravemind on the holographic window, engulfed by the white light when the quantum bullet exploded, and immediately after, the window displayed 'no signal'.

Seeing this, William turned and looked towards the giant porthole.

The detonation of the four quantum bullets successfully destroyed the shield world built by the forerunners. The four dazzling white lights completely engulfed the universe around the shield world, creating a space distortion visible to the naked eye.

After a few minutes.

The white light gradually dissipated, and the space returned to normal again.

Except for the pitch-black space domain, the previous planet-like shield world can no longer be seen, not even a speck of dust remains.

Seeing such a scene, Halsey folded her hands in front of her chest, and said softly to William:

"William, I think after the detonation of four quantum bullets, not to mention the Flood spores, even the Flood cells have disappeared completely."

"Ok…"

Looking at the completely clean universe outside the porthole, William just nodded perfunctorily.

Because he was trying to recall the 'primordial' that Gravemind said before.

Nearly 30 years ago, when he had not time-traveled and was still in high school, William would often read novels in the dormitory using his mobile phone bill.

Among them, he forgot which "Halo" novel it was, but it used to mention primordia.

"It seems that the ancient humans understood the knowledge and essence of the Flood Demon through the Primordial..."

William whispered in his heart, then turned his head to look at Halsey on his left, and asked:

"Catherine, is there any record of the location of the primordia in Gobekri Stone? Or more information about the primordia?"

"Huh?" Hearing William's inquiry, Halsey no longer looked out of the porthole, but replied after thinking for a moment:

"Rarely, Stonehenge only records that ancient humans obtained the way to fight against the Flood from the immortals or primordia.

Why, do you regret killing that corpse brain beast? "

"That's not true." William immediately shook his head and said:

"Anyway, I will never discuss cooperation with a creature like Gravemind, otherwise I will definitely be ripped off by it.

Eh? By the way..." William said as if he suddenly remembered something:

"Catherine, after we return to Earth, you organize the company's scientific expedition team to conduct a large-scale archaeological operation in Africa, especially Kenya."
