Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Chapter 16 Appearance

Listening to the system's words, William's whole person is not well.

And Halsey, who was still smiling, stopped joking when she saw that her boss seemed to be a little different, but asked worriedly:

"Are you OK?"

"It's alright, my stomach is a little uncomfortable, you'll be busy first."

William casually said, turned around and ran away from Halsey's office.

Although Halsey was confused, he didn't care too much.

On the other hand, William's side.

In the men's toilet at the end of the honeycomb corridor, he chose the innermost single room.

Open, close, lock, close the toilet lid, sit on it, all in one go.

And said to the system in his heart: 'I'm ready, let's talk. ’

[From now on, various abnormal manifestations begin to appear one by one.

When this system detects abnormal things, it will conduct investigations by means of subconscious guidance through the agents arranged by the host around the world.

Reported by the agents to the host, where the anomalous things are. 】

Hearing this, William frowned slightly and said: 'In other words, I won't know the specific information of those abnormal things, right? ’

[Yes, but when the host's employees report, this system has a chance to detect which world those abnormal things come from.

That's all, this system is only auxiliary, not omniscient. 】

'Fine. ' William shrugged helplessly.

Although I can't know the details of what I'm facing, if I can know where it comes from, I'm almost mentally prepared.

"Crash--!" The flushing sound sounded.

He pressed the button on the lid and pretended to finish using the toilet.

He walked out of the single room to the pool and washed his hands carefully.

"Tap!"

William, who had just walked out, heard the sound of neat running.

Turning his head and looking to the right, he saw Hank as the head, and a group of USSs in special suits were rushing towards him.

Soon, Hank led the USSs to William and saluted:

"Boss, Colonel Andre has something urgent to discuss with you."

"I see."

William nodded and followed Hank and the others to the control center on the second floor of the hive.

Passing by Halsey's office, the female genius also followed the trend of curiosity.

———————————

The second floor of the honeycomb;

Compared to other levels of the hive, the space here is more spacious.

The light is also not that bright incandescent, but a soothing warm light.

There are even windows with virtual street projections, and artificial airflow is slowly blowing in.

If you don't watch it carefully, it will give people the feeling of being in a high-rise building, and it will not make people who work underground for a long time feel depressed.

William and Halsey, escorted by the USS led by Hank, rushed across the corridor towards the Hive Control Center in the center of the second floor.

…

in the control center;

Dozens of technicians operate various instruments here to keep the sprawling hive building functioning properly.

And on the big screen hanging in the center, it was Andre wearing Umbrella's black officer uniform.

The old and strong colonel said with a slightly angry expression:

"The signal shielding of your hive is really troublesome!"

"I'm sorry, major." The technical director of the hive immediately explained with a smile:

"This is what the boss and Dr. Halsey mean, so that we can study and work here with peace of mind, and guard against commercial spies."

"Come on, the military situation is tense!" Andrei no longer asked, but his facial expression was still bad.

As for everyone present, they did not dare to complain at all, after all, the colonel was a member of the Olympus board of directors.

"Shh-"

With the sound of the automatic door opening, William and the others also rushed into the control center.

Upon seeing this, all the technicians stood up and said respectfully, "Boss."

"Well, let's all sit down." William showed a kind smile and motioned everyone to work as usual.

"Yes!"

Compared with the attitude of the colonel, everyone has more respect for the boss of this corporate giant.

However.

Andre showed the appearance of a grumpy soldier, but it was William who asked for it on purpose.

William himself played a "good man" and won the sincere respect of the company.

Of course, Andre wouldn't have any complaints, and he was very cooperative with all of William's demands.

…

"Boss." Andrei didn't delay when he saw William's appearance, and said straight to the point:

"An agent in Alberta sent an emergency message to our armed services not long ago and has since lost contact.

After confirmation, the first abnormal situation has occurred. "

[Monitoring this abnormal phenomenon comes from the world of ****. 】

Hearing the reminder from the system in his ear, William did not show too much surprise.

However, judging from the clear Chuan characters on his brows, it means that he is in a very heavy mood now.

After a few seconds, William looked at the screen and said softly, "Okay Colonel, I'll go to the Troy base now to talk to you in detail."

"Yes, boss." Andre, who was instructed, cut off the video communication with Hive.

And William turned around and ordered Hank: "Go to the suburbs."

"Yes."

Hank gestured to leave the two to protect William, and then took the lead in leaving the central control room with a large number of USS, and went to the ground to prepare for the convoy.

William eased his anxiety and, under the protection of the two USS, was also preparing to leave the hive.

"Eh."

Instead, Halsey grabbed the corner of William's shirt with one hand and asked with a rare serious expression, "Would you like T-103 to cooperate with your actions?"

"?"

William, who was absent-minded, lit up when he heard the reminder from the female genius.

He almost forgot about the tyrant.

Then he nodded sharply and hurriedly asked, "How many T-103s do we have that can be put into use?"

"Well..." Halsey tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "There are three, and the others have not been fully debugged."

Depressed swept away!

William couldn't hide his excitement, he put his hands on Halsey's shoulders and said with a smile:

"Fortunately you are here, Catherine!"

"Forehead…"

Halsey was suddenly touched by William's body, and when he thought of the scene where the other party saw him in a mess, his cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

She didn't know what to say to herself.

As for William, who did not notice her abnormality, he ordered the technicians in the central control room: "Send the three T-103s that Dr. Halsey said to the ground, please everyone."

"Yes, boss." The technicians responded respectfully.

"Let's go." Seeing that everything was ready, William also asked two USSs to escort him to the ground.

…

When William left, the technicians in the control center were relieved.

No matter how good-tempered the boss is, he still has the absolute right to life and death, but any mistake may be reduced to a D-level personnel.

And what about Halsey?

"whee…"

For some reason, she stood there with a red face and smirked, and whispered:

"Catherine? He called me Catherine..."
