Coordinates:4°S,55°E(British Indian Ocean)
Name: Minos Island.
Viewed from the sky, Minos still looks like a tropical island.
It covers a large area of virgin forest area for Spartans to survive in the wild, and there are training facilities such as barbed wire fences on the white sandy beach.
Surrounded by blue ocean.
If it weren't for the base buildings on the west coast, the island would look more like a resort.
At this time, Minos has been re-planned by Halsey, and it is no longer as "shabby" and "disorganized" as it was half a year ago.
There are more laboratory-like facilities, and a freezing room dedicated to storing T-Virus and serum.
The Osprey carrying Spartans has landed firmly on the high platform of the apron and is being maintained by ground staff.
Within Command Center of Minos Island;
The layout here is similar to that of Command Center in other Umbrella military bases, but the number of people and equipment is smaller.
And the personnel responsible for operation and contact are all selected from the USS and UBCS on the island.
In the center of Command Center, there is an electronic table with a giant screen.
Halsey, wearing a white coat, is debugging something at this table.
She...
It seems that he has returned to his original 'sloppy' appearance.
She casually tucked the black short-sleeved shirt under her white coat into loose black pajamas.
My long, light blond hair, which I took good care of before, was just tied into a ponytail.
Maybe she only dresses up in front of William.
.
"Shua--"
"Excuse me, Doctor, is there anything important?"
As the automatic door opened, Kent's voice came from behind her.
Turning around, she saw Kent rushing into Command Center with fourteen Sparta, surrounding her.
"Yes."
Halsey Without further ado, just use the touch screen pad to open the electronic table.
The screen lights up.
What is presented to everyone is a satellite plan.
In the center of the picture is an extremely backward desert city, which is also the hub of three highways in the east, west and north.
There is also a description of the file on the far right side of the display.

Time: October 12, 2007.
Location: Dadaab(Dadaab)
Content:
At 06:17 today, the Umbrella military base stationed in the Kenya grassland sent a transport convoy to Lamu Port to obtain supplies and food.
The target is the border between Kenya and Somalia for regular humanitarian assistance.
The fleet consists of 20 security personnel, 20 drivers, and 20 medium-sized trucks.
At 07:45, the convoy is ready to load the goods.
At 08:31, the convoy's only route to the border encountered an unexplained blockage.
After reporting the situation to the base, the convoy changed direction and tried to find other routes.
At 08:55, a convoy passing through Dadaab City was attacked by no less than 6,000 refugees, including a large number of armed personnel.
At 08:59, the last security guard lost contact with the base.
It has been confirmed that all personnel in the transport convoy were killed.
.
.
After reading the contents of the document, Kent frowned slightly, looked at Halsey across the electronic desk and said doubtfully:
"Doctor, Africa refugees often rob food.
Another point is that Kenya Base's convoy was attacked and they should send troops to solve it.
What does this have to do with us Minos?"
"Of course it does matter."
Halsey walked slowly to John, looked at Super Soldier that he had made by himself, then looked at Kent and asked softly:
"Major, let me ask you, what is Sparta's current combat capability?"
"Combat capability?"
Kent Vision circled Sparta and replied after a little thought:
"Now Sparta already has endurance, physical strength and strength beyond ordinary people.
If he had more actual combat experience, he would be a perfect killing machine...
Wait..."
Without waiting for Halsey to explain in person, the major guessed her intention and said:
"Doctor, do you mean to let Sparta participate in this incident?"
"That's right."
Halsey patted John's right forearm and asked with a kind smile:
"John, if you are asked to assassinate the leader of the militants, then... are you confident in completing the task?"
John first looked down at Halsey, then looked up at the teammates around him.
Karl smiled and nodded lightly, Mylon grinned and gave a thumbs up, and the other Sparta also expressed their support.
Then John deliberately raised his chest and said calmly, "We are confident, Madam (Ma'am).
As you taught us, nothing can stop Sparta."
"Good boy."
Halsey's answer to John is not surprising at all.
Immediately afterwards, she came to the electronic table again, and her slender hands slid on the touch screen.
The content on the display screen was replaced by Halsey.
Switch from the original satellite thumbnail to a close-up image taken by a drone from a high altitude.
Dadaab There are only a few high-rise buildings in the city center, and most of them are brick houses or simple houses made of iron sheets and wooden sticks.
Trash heaps and weedy streets can be seen everywhere.
In the suburbs, there are a large number of tent-like tent-like tents.
The people here are so skinny that it looks like they could be broken with just one kick, and even their clothes are just pieces of cloth to cover their private parts.
Compare with that.
The city center is called affluent, and that's not an exaggeration.
After all, people in the city center have all kinds of clothes, and there are even many cars from the 1960s and 1970s.
"Everyone."
Halsey put away his smile and said seriously, "Dadaab city has a population of about 490,000, of which 350,000 are refugees.
In Dadaab, whoever controls the food and water sources controls the right to kill here."
Halsey said, sliding his finger on the touch screen pad.
The screen is updated.
The content shown in the new pictures is a luxurious manor with swimming pools, villas, Garden of Nurgle, and a large number of militant handlers.
It is in sharp contrast to the dilapidated simple houses and brick houses outside the wall.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are twenty trucks with Red and White Umbrella Logo printed on them neatly parked in the manor.
See this.
John held the table with both hands, leaned forward, carefully observed the manor and asked, "Madam, is this our goal?"
"Yes." Halsey explained to everyone:
"I learned this through various information collected by Kenya Base.
A warlord named Grad Mahmud fled from Somalia to Kenya with his troops four months ago, and took complete control of Dadaab half a month ago.
The reasons for the escape and attack on Umbrella are unknown.
Kenya Base speculated that it was due to the food shortage caused by the continuous battles that Mahmud set his sights on Umbrella.
Hoo~"
Halsey smiled contemptuously and said, "The reason is unknown, well... it seems that this little warlord still has some secrets.
However, I really want to thank him.
You can give my Spartans a chance to practice."
