After William received Confidentiality Agreement's "Loyalty Lock" reward and successfully took Athena under his wing, he considered letting 049, Elizabeth Green, and other humanoid Containment Object also sign Confidentiality Agreement.
(096 is not considered at all.)
When the construction of Space Containment Center was completed and Containment Object was ready to be transferred, all the humanoids Containment Object signed Confidentiality Agreement under various "coercion and inducements".
Like 049, William only guaranteed that it would have "endless" experimental materials after signing the agreement. The wise Plague Doctor signed the agreement without hesitation.
049, who was under restraint, was more cooperative with the company's various actions, although his tone of voice was still a bit strange.
William knows about Confidentiality Agreement, but Andre does not.
"William, you have to think carefully. I have no objection to 049 coming to assist, but Elizabeth Greene, who caused hundreds of thousands of casualties... is a walking bomb at any time."
The veteran raised his concerns.
"Don't worry." A smile appeared on William's face again, "Elizabeth Green has been able to fully obey the company's instructions after being debugged by Catherine, right, Catherine?"
As he said that, William looked at Halsey who was standing beside him.
"That's right." Halsey nodded without changing his expression. "The vast majority of humanoids Containment Object can indeed cooperate with the company's various actions."
"Really?" After hearing Halsey's assurance, the worried look on Andre's face dissipated a lot.
This rigorous old man, compared to William who said the same thing, I would rather say Halsey who is like a genius doctor.
After all, Halsey's qualifications and knowledge are there.
In fact, the "debugging" mentioned by William does not exist at all, and Halsey just gave her husband a step down, which perfectly explained what "the husband sings and the wife follows".
"Alright general." Then, William said to Andre:
"With the assistance of Containment Object, Umbrella should be able to end the epidemic caused by Rebels as soon as possible, but before they arrive, the company and UNSC forces must try their best to curb the expansion of the scope of infection."
Seeing William put away his smile and give the order, Andre no longer worried about Containment Object's problems, but saluted towards his 'son':
"Don't worry, boss. Although we have no idea how to eliminate the virus, destroying and controlling 'zombie' is Containment Unit's specialty."
Time: October 5, 2018.
Baghdad Local time:04:14.
Location: Hillah City, seventy kilometers south of Baghdad.
Narration:
Within one hour of the outbreak of the unknown virus in Baghdad, its scope covered almost the entire border of Iraq, which had a great impact on the remaining Rebels, as well as the UNSC and Umbrella's 'United Forces'.
Rebels, the one with the largest number of casualties, encountered the situation of "resurrection of the dead". Facing his former comrades and brothers, the remaining Rebels had no way to deal with it, which also led to the complete destruction of Rebels within an hour.
The Union Army is also facing the same problem.
However, Umbrella's method of dealing with the resurrection of dead bodies is simple and crude, which is to use physical means to completely ascend to heaven for the fallen comrades and brothers.
Moreover, the Umbrella troops that raided Baghdad were all UBCS, Helljumpers, Heavy Soldier, and Second Batch Spartans that conducted orbital airborne landings, so they had good airtight protection.
Therefore, in the face of virus erosion, we did not suffer much losses.
But the regular troops of the UNSC are not so lucky. The vast majority of soldiers have become asymptomatic patients and carry a large amount of viruses in their bodies.
Coupled with the shortage of Nanite Serum, these asymptomatic soldiers will get sick sooner or later and transform into zombies who only know how to absorb calories. Dede
Moreover, when the UNSC and Umbrella leaders issued orders to withdraw from the war zone, Combat Troops was already facing zombie attacks, the resurrection of dead soldiers, and other phenomena beyond reason.
The communication, ordering and other systems between Combat Troops were disrupted, which also resulted in most of the teams being trapped in the war zone.
Among them was a Corporal named Ryan Klose.
In a residential building on the north side of Hilla City, Corporal Ryan was sitting paralyzed in an abandoned apartment, his breathing becoming rapid due to nervousness.
"Ho-ho-!"
Outside the broken glass window, the faint roars and howls of zombies could be heard.
I saw that Ryan is the standard UNSC army, with a dark green combat uniform, outer Mechanical Skeleton and armor, and a small holographic mirror on the left eye of the helmet.
Well, a standard 'big-headed soldier'.
Since the nature of the Army is to defend Earth-like Planet suitable for human survival such as the Earth and Reach, as well as various asteroid colonies, there is no need for airtight combat uniforms like Marine Corps.
It also saves the UNSC a lot of overhead.
From then on, when humans entered Interstellar Age, the status of Marine Corps, originally 'Ma Run', was greatly improved and became the main combat force of humans in the interstellar space.
As a result, the Army's equipment became vulnerable to zombie and virus attacks.
Ryan originally followed his company to attack the suburbs of Baghdad, but when faced with the incoming zombie attack, especially the agile zombies, the company fell into chaos for a time.
Once bitten or scratched, the injured comrade will transform into a zombie in just ten seconds.
Ryan's company was defeated by the wave of zombies before they could make arrangements to retreat, while Ryan took advantage of the chaos to follow his squad while fighting and escaping.
After more than ten hours of escaping and fighting, Ryan was the only one left in the class of six.
Thanks to the fact that the Army is also equipped with Mechanical Skeleton, the speed and strength of the Army can be significantly improved, otherwise Ryan would not be able to persist now.
But now...
Mechanical Skeleton's battery can only last for half an hour at most, the M41A only has one full magazine left, and the grenades have long been empty.
"Huh... ha..." Ryan was leaning against the window, listening to the zombies outside the window, trying to steady his breathing.
Then he opened the communication and reported softly, "This is Corporal Ryan Klose, requesting evacuation. Please reply when you receive it."
"Bah... bah..."
However, communication is just a series of electrical tones.
"Made." Ryan cursed in a low voice, extremely unhappy. "Communication is the most unreliable thing in the world."
"Ah!! Oumi(mom)!!"
Just when Ryan was complaining, a childish girl's call came from the fourth floor of the apartment where he was located.
"Roar!!!" This movement instantly caused the zombies inside and outside the building to roar.
Ryan immediately pulled down the holographic lens of the helmet and turned on functions such as night vision and shooting calibration.
At the same time, he half-crouched and held the M41A in his hand, pointing the muzzle at the closed apartment door, with an extremely tangled facial expression.
But he still closed his eyes, then opened them suddenly, and growled in a low voice with an expression as if he was looking forward to death:
"Forget it, you will die sooner or later anyway! It's better to die in a more meaningful way! Made!"
With that said, Ryan quickly rushed to the apartment door, preparing to check the girl's condition and then fight the zombies to the death.
