"Hostage."
At this time, Mike, who was listening to the conversation between William and Halsey, laughed at himself, "Even abnormal phenomena know the American tradition."
"Ho ho..." William followed with a wry smile.
Free America, Nuclear Peace every day.
This joke is not for nothing.
Even though Elizabeth Green knew nothing about this world, she devoured everyone in Plaza Hotel in an instant, so of course she would learn about nuclear bombs.
If she infects the entire Manhattan Island population, then dropping a nuclear bomb is inevitable.
Contain, control, protect.
Protection is the main theme of all actions.
Abnormal phenomena that threaten human safety must be destroyed before they cause extinction.
Immediately afterwards.
William said to the supervisor in one breath, "Manhattan and how many agents are there on Long Island? When will the Colonel's troops arrive? Where is Major Kent's?"
The supervisor was also unambiguous and answered immediately:
"Manhattan has fifteen agents in the south of the city, five in the north, and twenty-five on standby in Kennedy Airport.
(operate the computer)
The supplies and troops led by the colonel will arrive in two hours.
Major Kent, who is escorting important assets, still needs five hours."
"Well..." Kent held his slightly stubbled chin and ordered to the supervisor:
"Tell the five agents in the north of the city to ensure their own safety as much as possible, and ask the fifteen agents in the south of the city to go to Washington Square Park on the edge of Yellow Zone to be on standby.
Then ask all the agents in the airport to take the bird to Washington Square Park to meet the agents there."
"Yes."
"Yeah." William turned to look at Mike who was standing aside and said softly:
"Lieutenant General, we don't know the true purpose of that anomaly, but we can't sit still and wait for death.
Umbrella Agent's combat equipment is fully sealed.
Red Zone and Plaza Hotel, we need detailed information inside.
Then Lieutenant General, please send your Marine Corps into Manhattan to establish a safe zone to protect citizens.
Then send a feint attack force to attract the attention of the infected and buy some time and space for our agents."
"No problem, leave it to Marine Corps." Mike readily accepted William's instructions.
The lieutenant general, who was about the same age as Andre, took out another cigar and cigar cutter from his pocket.
Cut off one end, light it, put it in your mouth and take a sip.
"Huh~"
While turning around, he exhaled smoke, waved his hands and ordered to the elite Marine Corps who was on guard outside, "Follow me."
With that said, Mike and a large number of Marine Corps left the hall, making the place much emptier.
As for Halsey.
He glanced at the back of Mike who was gradually moving away, and then looked at Hunk who was standing not far away, fulfilling his duties.
She always feels...
The behavior of these people is so similar.
Is she worried?
Halsey closed his eyes and shook his head, no longer thinking about those things, then opened his eyes and walked to William's side, smiled and said:
"Boss, I didn't expect that the old lieutenant general is also a member of the family. So the success rate of Containment Operation this time... can barely reach more than forty."
A success rate of 40% is already very good.
But William still looked serious.
"Hey." He sighed and looked at Halsey, and said slightly sadly:
"There are still two hours until Andre arrives. During this period, we hope that the agents who have gone deep into Red Zone can bring us the specific situation."
Halsey could see what her boss was worried about, so he tilted his head and encouraged William and said:
"Okay, I have personally upgraded the equipment of the agents. The survival rate is guaranteed."
"I hope so." William said with a bitter smile.
Time: December 2, 2007
Location:
Manhattan Lower City.
Forty-eight minutes have passed since the large-scale chaos caused by the abnormal phenomenon.
This area is marked as a light Yellow Zone area, which means that there are a small number of infected people and ordinary citizens who are panicking.
However.
As a large number of Marine Corps wearing Gas Mask entered, the citizens' nervousness was controlled, and the citizens extremely obeyed the soldiers' instructions.
This is rare.
After all, USA people have some IQs...
When the Marine Corps members stabilized the situation in Yellow Zone and dispatched a large number of armored and air troops to advance deep into Yellow Zone, they actively launched an attack on the infected Zombie Horde.
In Washington Square Park, which has the most famous Fountain Square in New York and a Roman triumphal arch.
At this time, the sound of the slowly flowing water from the fountain in the square seemed much peaceful compared with the hustle and bustle on the streets.
suddenly.
"Tap-tap-."
The sound of military ranks stepping on the floor tiles broke the tranquility of the park.
Fifteen Umbrella agents are coming here to wait in accordance with the instructions from Kennedy Airport.
I saw that the equipment they wore was completely different from the version two months ago.
A uniform black and purple one-piece combat uniform with Exo-type Exoskeleton on the limbs, shoulders and back.
The improved type Fast Helmet can perfectly fit the respiratory mask and combat uniform worn, thereby forming a confined space.
The most distinctive feature is that their helmets are equipped with binocular optical sights that emit blue light.
This is the upgraded combat equipment of the agent.
When Halsey handed in the final design draft, William was directly shocked by its appearance.
Because the agent's equipment is simply the "power-enhanced version" of the Blackwatch soldier in <Prototype 1>.
The difference from UBCS's AAES is that the outer protective material of the combat uniform is not titanium fiber, but Kevlar Fiber.
There is no air conditioning or air pressure adjustment device, so you cannot fight in a vacuum environment.
Therefore, the cost is much lower than AAES.
Who would have thought that Elizabeth Green would actually come to the real world.
Originally, Halsey wanted to be a "milk" agent, but now it seems that it has become a "poisonous milk"
"Hu-hu-"
Within half a minute, the engine sounds of six Little Birds also rang over the park, and they landed on the square relying on their small size and flexibility.
Twenty-five agents who came to support from Kennedy Airport unbuckled the safety buckle the moment they landed and left from the passenger board.
Then the six pilots waved to the agents one after another, flew the bird into the air quickly, changed direction and returned.
An agent with a green three-eye optical sight, a white combat uniform, and the rank of sergeant gathered everyone.
Vision glanced at it and said in a deep voice:
"Everyone, the temporary group established this time is codenamed 'Vulture', and I am Commander Patrick Hogan.
Since the center of Manhattan is covered by red mist, all kinds of drone imaging cannot peek into it.
Therefore, we need to go deep into Red Mist Zone and collect as many samples as possible while conducting investigation.
Dr. Halsey needs those samples to study this abnormal phenomenon, and the company can implement containment as soon as possible.
Otherwise..."
Hogan paused for a few seconds before continuing, "What is the ending of Manhattan Island? I don't need to remind you anymore."
