Inside the steel fortress of Mars.

　　 William and Serena walked slowly towards the station, speechless all the way.

　　 After William declined Serine, she remained silent with a full face, even her pupils shining brightly from time to time.

　　 made William a little nervous.

　　 Don’t cause a situation like \\ in "Terminator" or "The Matrix" because he refuses an artificial intelligence ‘pursuit’.

　　 Especially Microsoft also released the virtual reality game called "World". Its content and senses are almost the same as reality. Playing for a long time may even make players short, and it is impossible to distinguish between reality and game in time.

　　 Finally, when the two got on the rail train and sat by the window, William asked curiously:

　　 "Selena, are you... okay?"

　　"..."

　　 "Ahem." Seeing that Serena was still silent, William deliberately coughed slightly and said in a commanding tone:

　　 "Selena, report on the security convoy in Mars City. Have they arrived at Central Station now?"

　　 "Yes..." Sure enough, Serena couldn't resist William's order and replied: "The convoy has arrived at Central Station, waiting to pick us up."

　　 "Haha, it's the cutest look when you work."

　　 After seeing Serena finally speaking, William couldn't help but smile, and praised the other secretary with a little temper.

　　 And Serena realized that William was'playing' with her. Although she still had a grudge on her face, she finally vented:

　　 "Thank you for the boss's compliment. Actually, I didn't deliberately ignore the boss just now, but to calculate and solve the problems between you and me."

　　 "The problem?" William asked puzzled.

　　 "Yes." Serena said solemnly:

　　 "Actually, based on your boss's attitude towards me, as well as your words and deeds, 67% of the chances are that you want to have a relationship with me... Um..."

　　 "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

　　 After confirming that the other soldiers didn't care, he let go of his hand and said, "I said, Serena, don't always worry about the relationship between you and me.

　　 Even if I want to, I can’t do that, understand? "

　　 "This..." Serena looked at her incontrovertible face, and finally said helplessly:

　　 "Yes, boss, I know, I will bury the feelings of you in my heart, and it will not affect my work anymore."

　　 "This is my good secretary." Hearing Serena's answer, William nodded in satisfaction.

　　.

　　 Then, the two arrived at the central station of Mars City, and under the **** of a security-driven convoy, they went to the ‘Umbrella Hotel Complex’ located in the prosperous area of ​​Mars City.

　　 William’s room is in the deluxe single room on the top floor. It is also an exclusive single room reserved for him by the hotel. No one else has permission to stay here.

　　 The first thing he did when he came to the single room was to take off his flying suit, throw it away and go to the bathroom to take a hot shower.

　　Relieve the fatigue of these days, waiting for Halsey to come to Mars, and discuss with her the treatment plan of Kepler 22-b.

　　 As for Serena...

　　 This slightly scheming artificial intelligence originally wanted to use his own convenience to prepare to ‘sneak attack’ William’s room late at night.

　　 But because of William's explicit refusal on the rail train, she gave up this idea and stayed in a normal room honestly.

　　 Of course, as an artificial intelligence, Serena does not need to sleep and rest.

　　 But she still took off her flight suit and lay on the bed, trying to invade all the hidden cameras in William's room, and then...

　　 Then you also need to take a ‘good’ shower.

　　.

　　 During the rest period, when Andre, the old father, learned that William had appeared on Mars, he quickly came to Mars without saying a word.

　　 Seeing that William is safe and sound, Andre, a veteran with all white temples, was completely relieved.

　　 And rarely, in an elder's tone, he slammed William severely, and the general content was that William was not allowed to participate in any containment operations.

　　 Even if there are no challenging conventional military operations, Andre will not allow William to participate.

　　 After all, the life and death of William is related to the safety of Umbrella, and the more important thing is that Andre does not want to "give a person with white hair to a person with black hair".

　　 After this ‘one day trip to hell’, William deeply agrees with Andre’s irresistible suggestion.

　　 Although with his current physical fitness, and possessing an exclusive divine body and mobile suit, the death threat is not that serious, but being teleported to other planes and extragalactic galaxies, it is more insoluble than death.

　　 Soon after, the frigate that Halsey was on arrived in the low-Earth orbit of Mars on September 19th, Halfa time.

　　 William and Serena also left the hotel in Mars City and rushed to the steel fortress on the edge of the city.

　　———————

　　...

　　Fort Hangar.

　　 William and Serena, who had changed their fitted military uniforms, stood not far from the gate of a decompression chamber under the **** of a group of marines.

　　 The gate opened.

　　 A black-painted Pelican exclusively for the Zero Fleet, with the assistance of a robotic arm, arrives in the hangar and stops at the designated position.

　　 The hatch door opened.

　　 First I saw Halsey, who was full of worry, and the Spartan Red and White teams guarding Halsey's safety.

　　 Seeing William herself standing in front of her, Halsey put away her worried expression, and only went to a meeting room with William and others.

　　 And with the help of Serena, the holographic projection broadcast Halsey's proposal to deal with Kepler 22-b.

　　.

　　Project: Kepler 22-b.

　　 Level: Temporarily ~lightnovelpub.net~ Description:

　　 As the home planet of the ‘Pathfinder’ race, in addition to the well-preserved ancient ruins, the project also has natural gravity anomalies as a portal.

　　 These portals, which are called ‘boundaries’, will bring too many unknown dangers, so it is forbidden to open and explore the world behind the boundary gates.

The 　　 project requires the long-term guard of two Paris-class heavy frigates.

　　 Colonial ships and merchant ships not related to the company strayed into the scope of the project. The frigate must be warned twice. If the unrelated ship does not leave, the frigate will be approved for destruction.

　　Indigenous people discovered from the extragalactic galaxy, Umbrella will give them some help, but will not interfere with their technological process.

　　It is expected that on September 30, 2018, all personnel will withdraw from the extragalactic planet with indigenous inhabitants and permanently close the gate to the extragalactic planet.

　　Because there may be anomalous phenomena that may cause the disappearance of the ‘pioneer’ civilization among many gates, its level is likely to be at the ‘Exafanistei’ level or the ‘God’ level.

　　 therefore stopped exploring and researching all gates, and the entire planet of the project was temporarily classified as a ‘Keter’ class.

　　 Moreover, the location of the project is erased from the civilian navigation, and the company's artificial intelligence will also clean the network.

　　 Strive to make the keyword "Kepler 22-b" gradually disappear, and let ordinary society slowly forget the fact that the project exists, so as to achieve the purpose of containment.
