"Ignorance is the mother of evil." Cortana repeated the sentence half-understanding.
Then she showed a sad expression, clasped her hands in front of her chest, and sighed like a prayer:
"Boss, Marine Corps doesn't have the AAES of UBCS, but they are still at the forefront, with the highest casualty rate... no, the death rate is also the highest.
The first generation Intelligent AI developed by me as Dr. Halsey can easily understand human... emotions.
I feel it's not worth it for those soldiers who died. Wasn't their Dreadnought sacrifice just to rescue Manhattan? But they were still smeared by netizens and the government."
Hearing this, William stood up and left the guardrail, walked towards Cortana and said with a smile, "It is indeed a pity, but their efforts are rewarded."
"Repay?"
William just smiled and said nothing.
If Containment Operation is successfully completed, then the nearly 20,000 Marine Corps under Mike's command will all become Umbrella's 'own sons'.
It can be equipped with individual weapons that transcend the times, and it also has a high welfare policy for Umbrella employees. It is more comfortable than working under USA.
That is, the enemies that Marine Corpss have to face have to be changed. They are no longer the terrorists, but Terror Creatures.
Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem that comfortable...
Forget it, no problem.
Immediately afterwards, William went straight through Cortana's 'body', sat on the sofa prepared for him by the technician and said quietly, "Where is Total Disinfection Plan?"
Cortana's projection feinted, then turned around and walked in front of William, his pupils shimmering and replied:
"1.7 million vaccines will arrive at Long Island Fortress at noon tomorrow, enough to vaccinate all soldiers and Manhattan citizens.
The doctor has also stepped up the research and development of Antivirus Agent and Steam Sprayer Device. Using the local resources of Hiroshima, Total Disinfection Plan can be implemented simultaneously tomorrow."
William drank the coffee in the paper cup in one gulp, leaned on the sofa cushions, looked at the roof of the terminal and said in a deep voice:
"Predict the results."
"It is expected that by tomorrow evening, except Plaza Hotel and Red Mist Zone, all Yellow Zone and Red Zone will be cleared."
"Very good, then launch the bombing while the disinfection is in progress, blow up the eggs before they hatch, and not give the abnormal phenomenon code-named Green any chance to react."
"Already contacted Bombing Squadron in Troy."
"Very good."
William put the empty paper cup on the low table in front of his knees, picked up the suit on the sofa, got up and walked down, and ordered with a teasing tone:
"Cortana, collect the specific addresses of spreading rumors, and plan in advance a large-scale Memory Wipe Measures after the end of Containment Operation.
Although we Umbrella can brainwash people, we can't 'wash' away some mentally retarded people with hydrocephalus."
Listening to his boss's unabashed ridicule, Cortana raised his hands and said with a smile, "Yes, boss."
.
Walk off the platform.
William, who had already put on his suit, left Terminal 6 surrounded by a group of Alphas and headed to a hangar not far away.
When the security outside saw the visitor, it was William. They didn't say much, they just stood up and saluted him, and opened the Security Door they were guarding.
Enter.
The huge hangar has also been transformed by Engineering Team, with bright incandescent lights and reflective floors, highlighting Umbrella's unique style.
Look inside.
Then I saw Biochemical Power Armor being set up one after another, and there were even several technicians who were busy assembling a prototype of Herendine.
The person in charge here is the supervisor who is over forty, has a Mediterranean bald head, and wears a white coat.
Seeing that it was William who walked into the hangar, he quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Boss."
"Hmm." William smiled at the other party and asked, "The colonel said that he has brought all the weapons mass-produced by the Hive. Please introduce them to me."
"Yes." The supervisor walked side by side with William, and then said respectfully:
"Boss, as you can see, after the Hive obtained sufficient funds, Biochemical Power Armor has produced a total of fifty-seven sets from mid-October to now.
Our expected goal is to put its mass production on schedule and replace it with the USS's main combat equipment."
"Yes." William nodded with satisfaction.
Just in time, he was led by his supervisor to the Herendine that was being assembled, and wondered, "Did the Hive take a year to build just this one?"
"This..." the supervisor explained with some embarrassment, "Yes, boss.
The final cost of Herendine was 8.5 billion, far exceeding our expected cost, so the Hive shifted the focus of work to Thor's Hammer."
William narrowed his eyes slightly and agreed with the supervisor's words in his heart.
Eighty-five billion...
The only advantage of Herendine is that it can be driven by ordinary people, but the cost...
It's more expensive than the 'god' ones, and the gain outweighs the loss.
At this time, after the supervisor brought William and others to the weapon rack, he could not hide his pride and said excitedly:
"Boss, you will definitely like the next two things!"
?
"Oh?" William looked at the other party's expression, which made him slightly interested and said, "What is it."
"Boss, although Herendine cannot be mass-produced, but...!"
As he spoke, several technicians pushed two weapon racks with pulleys in front of William and the supervisor.
What I saw hanging on the left side was a silver-gray, highly technological Sniper Rifle, and the supervisor also introduced it with his left hand:
"Our the Hive scientific research team used Dr. Halsey's Electromagnetic Accelerator Cannon concept to successfully shrink it!
Sniper Rifle, which can shoot a warhead more than 40,000 meters by consuming only one Hydrogen Battery, was born, Gauss Sniper Rifle.
The whole process is an independent research by the scientific research team, without the participation of Dr. Halsey!"
The supervisor then said the words "no" and "participation" and deliberately emphasized the tone.
After all, Halsey is like a great god standing above every researcher, and it is too difficult to surpass her.
It's not easy...
"Oh."
And William looked at the Sniper Rifle and also couldn't hide his joy and praised, "Not bad."
The supervisor at this time did not stop the introduction. He moved his hand to the right again and said to the rough-looking ACR rifle that looked like an enlarged version:
"Boss, this 8 mm caliber Gauss Rifle is the Standard Weapon developed in response to the USS equipped with Biochemical Power Armor.
Of course, it is also the first choice for the more powerful Spartan Force.
Each Caseless Ammunition warhead can easily tear and penetrate the armor of light vehicles. If it hits the human body directly..."
Even if the supervisor did not continue to explain, everyone knew the result of this bullet hitting a person...
I'm lucky to have preserved the whole body.
