Chapter 283: Prepare for war

Halfa time: on the 17th.

At this time, it has been six earth days since the reconnaissance force led by William came into contact with the anomalous phenomenon code-named "Shadow".

After receiving instructions, the military engineering in the outskirts of Hafa began mass production of silver ammunition, which was transported by a frigate of the First Fleet led by Athena.

The frigate arrived in Kepler 22-b low-Earth orbit on September 14 and transported silver ammunition for ground forces.

Athena, as a person who needs to participate in the war, was ordered by William to stay in the operation base station, waiting to participate in the containment operation soon.

The frigate responsible for the transportation of ammunition made a jump again on September 15 and returned to the first fleet stationed in the solar system.

During the period in Japan, the engineering team belonging to the Zero Fleet was not idle either.

The    engineering team dismantled four Pelicans and a large number of Warthogs, and passed through a narrow tunnel through the gate to the planet considered to be a desert for reorganization.

At the same time, the engineering team also disassembled three assault MSCs and a special MSC and transported them to the desert planet for reorganization.

This is also one of the reasons why the ammunition has arrived for three days, but William has not yet issued a containment operation.

------------------------

...

Location: ‘Desert Planet’.

At this time, the Pyramid, which has a gate exit and is about to be swallowed by yellow sand, has been transformed by the Umbrella engineering team to be'unrecognizable'.

The    engineering team used their unique ‘stunt’ to make a simple transformation of the nearby landscape and built a mobile base station around the half of the pyramid.

Inside the base station are the assembled Pelican, Warthog, and four mSs, as well as several simple buildings for combatants to garrison and rest.

The combat conference room of the mobile base station;

Dozens of lieutenant-level and school-level officers in Umbrella’s uniforms, three of the Spartan Blues, and specially invited Athena were sitting on folding chairs, obeying the next combat instructions.

William, the boss, and his secretary and assistant Serena, are standing at the front of the combat meeting room.

Although this mobile base station is too crude compared to other bases, it is still equipped with necessary equipment, such as holographic imaging devices.

An image of a planet emitting a pale yellow light, ‘floating’ in the combat meeting room.

Serena put her hand to the planet and explained: "After the four Pelican lift-off reconnaissance, it is concluded that the boundary we are in is still an earth-like planet.

It is in the habitable zone of the star system. The ocean area is about 64%. It has a large amount of seaweed to produce oxygen, and the southern continent has a large area of ​​rainforest landform.

As for the star system it is in is not in the Milky Way, it belongs to the extragalactic galaxy, and it is a position that the transition engine cannot reach. "

As he said, the image of the rotating planet stagnated and focused on a large area of ​​desert in the northern hemisphere. The green dot marked by Serena was the area where they were.

The area framed by black on the south side of the green dot is the abandoned city that the investigation team entered.

continued to look to the south, and saw an area indicated in red.

"Everyone, after the Pelican's scanning and reconnaissance of the entire planet, an apparently abnormal phenomenon...'building' was discovered.

please see. "

holographic imaging gathers the red area, zooms in, and finally reveals another abandoned city.

In the very center of the city, there is a ‘meat ball’ that occupies nearly one-third of the city’s size.

This is also the reason why Serena's facial expression was a little uncomfortable when she said the word ‘architecture’.

Through the detection equipment carried by the Pelican, we can clearly see the street scene in the city and what the ‘meat ball’ is.

I saw a large number of'shadows' gathered in the city, and they seemed to wander aimlessly.

Of course, there are many "human beings" in dilapidated clothes, dragged by these shadows to that giant "meat ball".

Those humans after    were pressed by a large number of shadows on the ground, and then, the shadows took out the hearts of those people out of thin air.

out of thin air, did not cut a person's chest, and did not use brute force to dig it out, it was completely taken out of thin air.

The heart was thrown into that ‘meat ball’ by the shadow, absorbed and merged.

While the shadows take out those human hearts, the'fleshball' is still producing new shadows continuously.

It seems just as William had guessed, the anomaly this time is somewhat similar to ScP1983, using the heart and light to reproduce.

Despite seeing such scenes that ordinary people cannot understand and endure, the facial expressions of the officers, Spartans, and goddesses present hardly have any fluctuations.

Because they guessed to some extent, that giant ‘meat ball’ was the source of the anomaly.

Then just destroy the source.

This is the first thought of everyone here

Playing the document of the complete video, Serena continued and everyone said:

"According to the information provided by the boss and the doctor, destroying the giant meatball can completely eradicate this abnormal phenomenon.

All of you here are the elites of the company and have beliefs that ordinary people do not have, so...

(Look at Athena sitting behind)

So one of the first conditions for combat is to pray to Athena in your heart so that you can kill the'Shadow'. "

Everyone nodded silently.

For everyone, this condition can be described as simple.

It may be difficult for them to look like an ethereal god, but Athena, who is also a god, is sitting alive behind them and is still a ‘colleague’.

Immediately afterwards, Serena took out a spike bullet from her military uniform pocket and said:

"Because of the characteristics of these abnormal phenomena, only silver physical ammunition can be used to effectively kill those shadows.

Therefore, plasma and beam weapons are not recommended. "

Speaking of this, Serena glanced around at the crowd and said, "Are there any questions?"

"Yes." A lieutenant colonel looked at the A4 computer in his hand and asked:

"Our ground forces are responsible for containing the ‘shadow’ and rescuing the indigenous people on this planet as much as possible, so what is the source of the anomaly?"

"Don't worry about this." William, who has not spoken, answered the question of the lieutenant colonel for Serena:

"These days I have been on standby, just to allow the engineering team to assemble and deploy to bring mS.

So the source of that thing is solved by driving the mS with the blue team, and the goddess Athena. You only need to ensure the safety of the natives as much as possible.

Any question? "

"..." Everyone shook their heads.

"Very well, now pass the order to your subordinates, and prepare to act in half an hour."

"Yes." All the officers stood up and saluted, and then left the combat meeting room.

John also led Carl and Myron, leaving the combat meeting room, and changing the combat uniform for driving the assault mS.
