Chapter 293:

Affected by the anomaly code-named ‘Shadow’, the special plane piloted by William and Serena disappeared on September 17 on the terrestrial planet in the outer galaxy.

caused the Zero Fleet to be in chaos for a short time.

As a member of the board of directors, and Mrs. William Halsey, temporarily in charge of the command of the Zero Fleet.

Besides, Halsey’s prestige was only lower than that of Andre and William, so the Zero Fleet did not complain, and he accepted Halsey’s command very obediently.

The first thing Halsey took over the power was to immediately let Cortana take control of the quantum communication device on the Infinity to prevent the news of William's disappearance from spreading throughout the company.

Then Halsey used quantum communication to contact the Troy base, which was also equipped with quantum communication devices, and talked secretly with Andre.

Halsey informed Andre William of the disappearance, hoping that the veteran would be able to prepare, and if necessary, unite all those loyal to the Russell family to use force as a deterrent.

Although all the employees of the company are extremely loyal to William, but William suddenly disappeared, coupled with many large companies that are eager to acquire Umbrella technology, it is very likely that they will suddenly have trouble at this node.

After all, the previous Umbrella behaved too ‘dominant’ and overwhelmed the rest of the enterprise.

As the saying goes, "Take your life when you are sick."

Regardless of whether it is a capital enterprise or not, interests are always the top priority. Even if everyone is a cooperative ‘friend’ one second, they can become an ‘enemy’ stabbed in the back in the next second.

Therefore, the information about William’s disappearance was only known to a handful of A-level employees except for the zero fleet involved in the containment operation, the two directors, and veterans and officials loyal to the Russell family.

Including Mikhail Victor, who was promoted all the way from captain to colonel and one of William’s confidants.

Therefore, when William and Serena appeared on Mars, Victor did not express too much surprise, but ecstasy and excitement.

As long as the boss comes back, the difficulties that the company will face will disappear, and those companies and organizations of the younger generation will not pose a threat at all.

And in the time before William and Serena were helped by the Dooms and successfully returned to Mars, the last thing Halsey had to do with the Zero Fleet was to deal with the indigenous people they discovered from the extragalactic galaxy, and How to deal with Kepler 22-b.

First, with the assistance of Cortana and her artificial intelligence, a comprehensive search of the planets in the extragalactic system was carried out. Sparta and the wild tooth shark contained all the surviving natives.

After analysis by Halsey and a large number of researchers, the only remaining natives on this planet have simple language, but no words.

According to body composition and blood tests, the natives are similar to humans, and genetically they are very similar to the American Indians.

It is speculated that the planet where the natives are located was originally a colonized planet of Kepler 22-b.

But it was attacked by the ‘shadow’ anomalous phenomenon, as well as being eroded by an unknown plane with its parent star Kepler 22-b, causing the colonial galaxy to completely lose its technical support.

eventually led to a sharp decline in the population of colonized planets and the disappearance of civilized societies. The accumulated knowledge and learning were only about how to survive the attack of the ‘shadow’.

Halsey let the Spartan Black Team and its affiliated artificial intelligence, as well as a large number of researchers and paratroopers, stay on the planet temporarily to help these indigenous people rebuild their civilization.

During this time, she learned about William's appearance on Mars through Andre.

After knowing that William had not completely disappeared and had returned to the solar system in some way, the low morale of the Zero Fleet finally came out of the shadows.

Halsey let the Spartan Blue team's artificial intelligence, Cortana temporarily take over everything on Infinity, and continue to supervise Kepler 22-b.

Under the **** of the red and white teams, she took a frigate for a transitional teleportation, and immediately returned to the solar system to meet William.

...

Hafa time: on the 18th.

Location: Martian Fortress.

A few minutes after William, Serena, and Doom appeared, a Pelican, which was routinely patrolling nearby, arrived at the place where the three of them were in accordance with Victor's orders.

Although the Doom didn't say a word, he was very cooperative and boarded the Pelican.

Then, William and Serena drove a special plane to return to the Martian fortress with the Pelican carrying Doom.

In the cockpit of the dedicated aircraft at this time.

William saw through the panoramic screen not far away, the "Mars City" that had been enlarged several times, and the steel fortress on the edge of the city.

"Boss." Serena, who was sitting in front, reminded him: "The tower of the fortress, let us go to the seventh gate."

"okay."

William withdrew his mind from the magnificent city scenery, controlled a special machine to the sky above the steel fort, and slowly descended into the open seventh gate.

The Pelican carrying Doom entered the sixth gate.

The gate is closed.

Supercharge.

With the assistance of the robotic arm, the special aircraft and the Pelican came to the giant hangar of the fortress.

opened the cockpit door, Serena and William landed on the ground using the cable in turn.

As soon as he landed, Victor, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried forward without revealing too much information about his disappearance, but he said in a deep voice with emotion:

"Boss, welcome to visit Mars."

William, who is already ‘Old You Tiao’, had long passed the reaction of the soldiers in the fortress and Victor, guessing that Halsey or Andre had concealed the information of his disappearance.

"Hmm." Then he smiled slightly, and put his hand to the Pelican who was opening the hatch and said:

"Kepler 22-b encountered some small accidents so I came to Mars first with our important customers."

Customer?

Victor and a group of officers and soldiers cast their eyes on the Pelican who had opened the tail hatch.

I saw the Doom soldier in the dark green archon's armor, stepping out of the cabin and coming into everyone's sight.

And William took Serena and Victor and other officers to the front of the Doom.

Just before William could speak, the Doom seemed to have caught the M41A in the hands of a Marine, and immediately wanted to reach out and take it forcibly.

"Man! Wait a minute! Wait a minute!!"

Fortunately, William quickly blocked the Doom and the Marine, and pointed to the passage not far from the hangar and said, "There is a shooting range, and you have everything you want."

"..." Doom still didn't say anything, and had no intention of stopping his rude behavior.

Seeing this, William had no choice but to order Victor: "Colonel, bring all the individual weapons in the fortress!"

"Yes."

Victor, who was instructed, hurriedly asked his soldiers to carry the equipment box with weapons.

William took the Marine’s M41A and handed it to Doom and explained: “The M41A pulse rifle has shell-less blasting rounds, which can be ‘dismembered’ according to the user’s preferences.
