Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Chapter 215 'Ghost Army'

Cairo city.

It is the capital and largest city of Egypt, as well as the largest city in Africa and the Arab world, across the Nile River.

On the outskirts of the city there is the Pyramid of Cheops, one of the seven wonders of the world, as well as various unsolved mysteries of the Sphinx.

But now in Cairo…

It's like 'cracked'.

To be precise, the entire city of Cairo seemed to have disappeared because of the collapse, and a huge gap was split open in the ground.

The fissure emits a scarlet light that reaches the sky.

In addition, there are huge humanoids on the outskirts of the city, too far away to see clearly.

Obviously, this anomaly is not something that can be explained by science at all.

.

John's face sank behind the helmet, and he asked Cortana with a frown:

"Cortana, can you directly investigate the current situation in Cairo?"

"Master Chief..." Cortana, who appeared on the screen, shook her head bitterly:

"Impossible, unless I get close to the outskirts of the city, it will be possible to scan the cracks and the material inside."

"it is good."

Hearing the answer, John immediately got up and was about to turn around and leave the dune to discuss countermeasures with Michelle and other hell paratroopers.

"Huh? Wait a minute."

At this time, Karl, who had the best eyesight, seemed to have found something, and used the sniper scope to look at the road northwest of the dunes.

Armed with a rotating Gaussian gun, Myron squatted on the ground and asked, "What's the matter, Carl?"

"Look." Carl pointed his hand to the road.

Hearing this, John slowly came to Carl's left side, and also half-squatted down to maximize his farsightedness.

What I saw on the screen were ordinary humans and the 'soldiers' who were escorting them.

The group and the 'soldiers' gathered on the road are heading for the crack that can be seen from no matter how far.

Although the farsightedness function can't see everyone's appearance clearly, they can still be found in ragged clothes, and some people walk with a limping appearance.

And the 'soldier' ​​can tell at a glance that they are not human.

They vary in shape.

Most of them are skeletons with a strange red light all over their bodies, holding machetes and round shields.

And commanding these skeleton soldiers is a mummy wrapped in white cloth and holding a spear.

"My goodness…"

Myron, who also saw the road scene, couldn't help but wonder: "Is it really telling me to be right? That crack is hell, or where would the ghost soldiers come from?"

"We don't need to worry about whether it's hell, we just care about the mission."

John replied in a low voice, and then ordered Cortana: "Cortana, record everything we see, and upload it to Dr. Halsey immediately after the withdrawal from the barrier area."

"Yes, Master Chief."

"Yeah." John nodded, turned and left the dunes.

Then Myron and Karl looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, picked up their weapons and followed John to leave together.

.

Go back to the landing area.

A four-wheeled off-road vehicle painted in dark green was assembled.

Some have two, with a fort at the rear.

The turret is equipped with a large-caliber Gauss gun, or a rotating Gauss gun, or a missile launcher.

In addition to this attack variant, there is a six-seater transport variant that provides highly maneuverable transfers for the Blue Team and the Razor Shark.

This type of off-road vehicle has a uniform name, 'The Warthog'.

(picture)

The Warthog is a multi-purpose light vehicle developed by Halsey himself. It can transport troops, fight, reconnaissance, and air defense. It can adapt to various terrains and is extremely fast.

What makes the Warthog more 'light' is that it can be easily assembled and disassembled.

The components contained in every two special airborne compartments can form a Warthog, which can provide good ground 'service' for the hell paratroopers.

.

Michelle, who had just finished assembling the Warthog convoy under his command, saw the returning Spartan Blue Team.

Then he stepped forward and asked, "Master Chief, what is the situation we are facing?"

"Not optimistic." John said solemnly:

"The anomaly has an army of corpses of skeletons and mummies, and Cairo is gone, replaced by a hell-like rift.

Cortana, share the video you just recorded. "

"Yes."

At the same time as Cortana replied, she also shared the 'hell crack' that she saw just now, the ordinary humans who were escorted on the road, and the ghost soldiers like hell messengers.

Soon, what was just detected appeared on the helmet screens of Michelle and the Mad Tooth Sharks.

Upon seeing this, Michelle's tone became more serious, and asked, "Then Master Chief, what is your order?"

Hearing this, John looked at the Warthog convoy on the side and thought for a while.

Said: "This anomaly has an entire army, which is really eye-catching with our scale, so...

(looking at Michelle)

We'll head down the road to engage them first, give Dr. Halsey some combat stats, and then get some useful intel

Then we split up.

Major, you lead a company of Teeth Sharks, taking advantage of the Warthog's high mobility and anomalous phenomena.

And I led the blue team 'on foot' to Cairo to get more detailed data on the anomaly. "

"Just the three of you? It's too risky, and if there is no Warthog, how can you charge quickly? It's just going deep alone, no!" Michelle immediately refused.

"Don't worry, Major." Myron, who was standing behind John, helped explain:

"With the physical quality of our Spartans, coupled with this set of Thor's hammer armor, the running speed is no less than these iron lumps."

Saying that, Myron also raised his hand and knocked on a Warthog.

"Hey." Michelle could only sigh: "The boss once said that your Spartans are comparable to gods in combat power. To be honest, we may still be your burden."

"No, you are also elites." John waved his hand.

Then he turned around and boarded the gunner's seat on a Warthog, and ordered, "Major, get ready for action."

"Yes."

Michelle saluted John and raised her voice in the communication: "Paratroopers! You all heard the Master Chief!

Cover your airborne compartments for me. After the anomaly is contained, the fleet will help us recover it!

Twist your fat ass! Get moving! We are going! "

"Wow!"

Under the "inspiration" of Michelle, a group of mad tooth sharks shouted the Marine Corps' favorite slogan in their helmets, and then began to move quickly.

Not too long.

As the elite hell paratroopers, the Crazytooth Sharks packed up according to Michelle's orders and quickly boarded the Warthog.

Start the engine.

The convoy of thirty-four Warthogs drove out of the oasis, driving on the desert as if walking on flat ground, and rushed to the northwest road.

Everyone is ready to fight those "ghost soldiers" and provide Halsey with an effective actual combat record.
