Screaming?
Fast running...
Such a familiar feeling.
William rubbed his chin while looking at the screen of the electronic table, pondering what kind of anomaly had appeared this time.
At this moment, after the audio finished playing, Serana said to William in a calm voice:
Boss, at the beginning of the incident at Lemonier Camp, I notified the nearby Kenya Base and had them launch drones.
We should be able to observe the current situation at Lemonier Camp from high altitude now.
As she spoke, Serana waved her hand, connecting the screen to the drone in real-time.
Soon, the drone's signature black-and-white thermal imaging appeared on the big screen, allowing everyone to look down at Lemonier Camp from an aerial perspective.
The Base was engulfed in raging Fire, and most facilities had collapsed due to explosions and brute force impacts.
Armored vehicles, troop carriers, and aircraft parked on the ground had also failed to escape the fate of being torn apart.
Most chilling of all... the ground was covered in corpses, a whole ground full of Soldiers' corpses.
Some were lying in a circle, suggesting that they had wanted to take down the enemy in the center of their formation, but were killed one by one by the latter at extreme speed.
There were also piles of corpses in front of the barracks doors.
This indicated that when the Base fell into alarm and chaos, those Soldiers who were already asleep woke up, but were wiped out the moment they stepped out the door.
However, the culprit behind such a tragedy did not appear on the thermal imaging screen at all.
Disappeared?
Or hiding?
Serana walked up to William, hands clasped in front of her, and said with a hint of regret:
Boss, due to the suddenness of the event, they lost network support before I could hack into Lemonier Camp's internal surveillance cameras.
Cameras?
Wait...
This is probably that shy guy, 096.
William, associating the screaming, had a sudden flash of insight.
Boss.
Kent, who had already put on his bio-armor nearby, volunteered:
No matter what anomaly we are facing this time, we, Ares, can carry out the containment.
William just waved his hand, dismissing Kent's request, and said:
Major, Ares does not need to handle this anomaly for now; I have my own arrangements.
Yes.
Kent nodded without hesitation.
Then William walked to the electronic table, carefully watching the footage transmitted back by the drone, and analyzed how to contain that shy person.
If it really was 096.
Then there must be some trigger, like photos and videos, that caused it to go berserk and rush into Lemonier Camp.
Straightening out the general cause.
William asked Serana, who was standing at the screen: Serana, where is the bunker mentioned by the Captain? What is its status?
Boss, the bunker is built directly below the Base's command building; it is impossible to determine the status of Major General Holt and the remaining Soldiers.
Furthermore, based on the drone's observation and the recorded audio, I believe the anomaly is still inside the command building.
Hmm.
After obtaining Serana's analysis, William pondered for a moment, then looked up at everyone and ordered:
Kent, lead your Mobile Task Force to blockade the surroundings of Lemonier Camp and don't let those curious guys come here to die.
Yes.
Kent saluted William, then turned and left the Command Center, ready to execute William's order immediately.
Immediately after.
William turned his gaze to John and asked tentatively: John, if this containment operation is handed over to you, are you confident in completing the containment?
John looked at William's confident gaze and immediately promised: Yes.

21:57
The bright moonlight spilled onto the peaceful and clear sea.
In Africa, where there is no large-scale air pollution, one can truly feel the dazzling galaxy in the night sky at close range.
Beautiful.
However, the scene slowly glided to the west.
A jarring scene appeared.
On the flat land on the west side of the strait, there was a Base burning with raging Fire.
Lemonier Camp.
This Base, which controlled oil transport routes for the United States and ensured the smooth implementation of maritime routes, was now shattered and destroyed by the anomaly.
Even more heartbreaking was that those dutiful Soldiers who obeyed orders also died tragically at the hands of the anomaly.
Whoosh~—
The unique sound of the hydrogen engine echoed over this sea area, and a pelican flew rapidly toward the burning Base.
Inside the cabin, which was lit with dim red lights;
Five Spartans wearing mjolnir armor sat in a uniform posture on the seats on the left side of the cabin.
The numbers were...
Three,
Four,
Five,
Seven,
Ten.
Each Spartan held the weapon most suitable for themselves.
The gauss sniper rifle in Karl's arms was a model she had personally tuned, and she had also made small modifications to its appearance.
The oversized machine gun in Myron's hands was a Gauss machine gun specially made by the Hive for the Spartans.
And the remaining John, Daisy, and Krieg used generic gauss rifles.
In the center of the cabin in front of them, there was also an elongated and widened containment box, used to contain the anomaly this time.
Spartans.
Cortana's voice sounded in the five Spartans' helmet communications: According to the information and guesses provided by the Boss, what we are facing this time is a humanoid, immortal creature.
Once someone sees the face of this anomaly, it will be immediately enraged and try to kill the viewer.
But if one does not see its face, the anomaly usually remains docile.
Therefore, its codename is Shy Guy.
So, the main force for the containment operation will be Number Five and Number Ten, who cannot see the character's face.
The operation Commander is the Sergeant Major (John).
After finding and successfully containing the Shy Guy, the bomber squadron will drop White Phosphorus bombs on Lemonier Camp to completely destroy the reasons that caused it to go berserk, such as videos, recordings, photos, and other items.
Yes. (x5)
Hearing this, the Spartans deeply believed in the Boss's words; after all, William had provided information about anomalies many times.
They didn't want to delve into how the Boss knew; they were only responsible for action.
Then, John, with a calm tone, asked: We may still have to fight the Shy Guy, right?
Yes, this emergency situation cannot be ruled out.
Cortana did not deny it and continued: But according to the Boss's guess, if you can find the Shy Guy's vital point and use the destructive power of the gauss sniper rifle, it should be able to directly make it lose resistance.
gauss sniper rifle?
John looked at Karl to the side, then nodded: The Spartan squad has confirmed the target of this operation.
Everyone.
It happened that at this moment, the pilot flying the pelican reminded in the communication: About to arrive at the landing site, please prepare.
Received.
Tap, tap. (x5)
Following John's reply, all the Spartans stood up in unison.
They lifted the huge containment box together, turned to face the rear of the cabin, looked at the gradually opening hatch, and waited for the containment operation to begin.
Just as their Boss said, Spartans are blades coming out of their sheaths; while revealing their sharpness, they are bound to cut throats.
