Time: April 17, 2011.

Name: Multinational Alliance Air Force Base.

Coordinates:47°N,28°E

Narration:

The air force base is located on the eastern plain of the Moldova capital Chisinau. It is the main air force base of the multinational alliance and has a permanent population of about two thousand people.

With the assistance of a multinational coalition, government forces retook large areas of the capital in early 2011.

But to this day, the Rebels in the capital are still engaged in guerrilla warfare with the government forces and the multinational alliance, and the situation is in a stalemate.

.

Several hours after Sergeant Davis was killed, Moldova was at 22:54 local time.

A large Um-255 transport aircraft flew in the night sky of Chisinau, flying towards the air force base in the eastern plains.

Expand the landing gear and descend slowly, then land firmly on the runway, taxi for a moment and then stop.

Seeing the Um-255 parked and waiting for a long time by the hangar, Colonel James·Orend led several fully armed Delta Force towards the door at the rear of the Um-255 cabin.

The hatch opens.

The first one to walk out was the Task Force member wearing AAES2 and also fully armed, followed by the USS and a large number of technical personnel wearing Biochemical Power Armor.

The operational commander dispatched by Umbrella, Karina Rice Captain Prus, was also wearing Biochemical Power Armor, but she did not let the armored helmet cover her face.

She has short black hair. Although she has a beautiful face, her slightly frowned brows and her chilling eyes make no one think she is a 'vase'.

As for Captain Prus, the consultants sent by Umbrella were Rebecca·Chamboss.

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

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

Colonel Orend approached Prus and Rebecca, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I am the person in charge of this air force base, Colonel James·Orend."

"Hello." Prus stretched out his hand to shake hands with Orend and said softly in English with a French accent:

"Umbrella Private Force, Commander Gamma Mobile Task Force, Karina Rice Captain Prus."

With that said, Prus looked at Rebecca beside him and introduced, "She is the consultant of this operation, Rebecca·Dr. Chambers.

I hope the colonel can listen to her advice more, after all, Umbrella is much better at dealing with abnormal phenomena than your regular army."

"No problem." Orend has no objection to this.

"Okay."

Because her husband is Li Mu, Rebecca's state when performing tasks is no longer the 'novice' it was before. Instead, she waved her hand and said straightforwardly:

"There's no need to say anything more, Colonel. I think you probably have more information."

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

"For the specific situation, it's better for you to enter the base with us and discuss it later."

"Okay."

.

Immediately, Gamma Task Force was ordered by Prus to tidy up outside, and she led Rebecca and several USSs to follow the colonel and enter the base for discussions.

The conference room in the main building of the air force base.

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

"Since the Delta Force troops use your Umbrella individual soldier system, the visor of their helmets and Holographic Glasses can provide our soldiers with a variety of vision.

In the past week, six soldiers were filmed wearing glasses and masks."

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

I saw that the videos were all from a first-person perspective, and most of them were thermal imaging and night vision images.

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

And when the dynamic alert reaches its peak and makes a harsh sound, there will be an 'outline' of something in the video flashing past.

Afterwards, the dynamic reminder returned to normal, and both the soldiers and the base thought it was a system failure, so they did not pursue the matter further.

See the situation.

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

"Yes." Orend said with a serious tone, "Davis was an elite member of Delta Force, but he was still killed by something, something invisible."

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

Orend did not answer in a hurry. Instead, he waved his hand and signaled the staff to continue playing the autopsy data of Sergeant Davis.

He added, "The cause of death was also very strange. His internal organs were instantly frozen, but his skin seemed to be burned and eroded."

Rebecca was browsing the data, and the word "Chuan" between her eyebrows became more and more obvious. It seemed that she was not clear about what she was facing this time.

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

Local people also spray-painted the words 'War Ghost (Aratare)' at the site of the accident. Coupled with Davis's death, I think this is likely to be caused by some kind of supernatural creature."

"Aratare?" Rebecca asked doubtfully.

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

"Ghost?" Prus, who had always remained silent, was stunned, and tried to ask Rebecca beside him, "Is it the same thing as Wendigo?"

"No." Rebecca shook his head and said, "Wendigo is invisible and possessed. And since the so-called 'War Ghost' can be reached by Dynamic Detection this time, it means that it is an entity."

"If it's an entity... then why does Sergeant Davis's fire have no effect?" Orend asked.

Rebecca shook his head slightly, closed his eyes slightly and said softly, "An entity does not necessarily mean that it can be shot by rifle ammunition. If you want to figure out what it is, you need clearer images and more detailed data."

Speaking of which.

Rebecca opened his eyes, stood up and looked at Orend and said, "The individual soldier system our company sells to you does not have a scanning function."

"Scan function?" Orend was a little confused.

However, Prus, who also stood up, explained to the slightly gray-haired colonel, "Scanning System, combined with the Dynamic Detection function you know, can see the situation clearly even when the visibility is zero."

Hearing this, Orend said with joy on his face, "That would be great, as long as we can solve that 'War Ghost'."

"Yes." Prus nodded and said, "Then please colonel send your elite troops to act as guides for our reconnaissance team into the city."

"No problem."
