Within Purus's line of sight, besides the half-dead 'people' lying in containers, there were also many armed personnel dressed as rebels.
The rebels' deaths were clearly caused by the condensed matter lifeforms.
When Purus received information from Rebecca on how to stop this anomaly, she immediately ordered the two USS teams beside her, "Set up explosives here."
"Yes."
Following the order, the two USS teams placed explosives in the eerie room.
Once everything was ready, Purus led the USS to quickly evacuate and rendezvous with the three USS teams stationed outside.
They arrived outside the nuclear power plant.
The USS personnel left behind were almost 'engulfed' by the condensed matter lifeforms.
However...
The bio-armor equipped with AT energy shields instantly activated when the lifeforms, which lacked friendly identification, tried to approach, directly blocking them.
Their impact would also cause them to disintegrate again, while for the USS inside the shields, it only made them retreat a few steps.
The three USS teams stationed outside, relying on their new equipment, were completely unharmed when facing the arrogant condensed matter lifeforms.
As Purus led the other two USS teams to assist, she loudly warned, "Fire in the hole!"
Upon receiving the warning, the USS immediately knelt down and maximized the AT shield's effectiveness.
"Boom!"
Shortly after her words, a violent explosion occurred inside the nuclear power plant, and shockwaves and billowing smoke spewed out from the internal passages.
Purus and the other USS personnel standing at the entrance of the nuclear power plant were instantly enveloped by dense smoke and shockwaves.
But with the AT shields, this explosion was completely harmless to them.
However, for the condensed matter lifeforms, this explosion directly halted their actions, and then they gradually dissipated, unable to re-condense.
As for the main body of the nuclear power plant, it suffered no damage from the explosion; it still maintained its original appearance from the outside, only the eerie room inside was completely destroyed.
Seeing this,
Purus immediately reported to Rebecca, "Doctor, it has been confirmed that this anomaly is under control."
"Excellent, I've already had the company dispatch more technical personnel for support. Now, please have the Captain remain at the nuclear power plant," Rebecca replied via communication.
"Yes."

Project:'Spectral'.
Level: Euclid.
Description:
This project was first observed in April 2011, progressively appearing within Chisinau, the capital of Moldova.
It was confirmed as an anomalous phenomenon hostile to humans after causing the death of a US Army Delta Sergeant on April 17th.
Morning of April 18, 2011.
Captain Karina Reyes Purus, leading the Gamma Mobile Task Force, conducted a raid on the nuclear power plant outside Chisinau under the direction of Rebecca Chambers.
The raid was successful and prevented the continued increase in fatalities caused by the anomaly.
.
When subsequent forces arrived at the nuclear power plant and conducted an investigation under the command of Rebecca Chambers, they discovered that this nuclear power plant was an experimental base from the Soviet era.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the experimental base came under the control of Tchaikovsky · ■ ■, who was also the supreme leader and financier of the Moldovan rebels.
Tchaikovsky · ■ ■ repeatedly incited anti-government sentiment within Moldova in secret, ultimately leading to the civil war in April 2009.
Furthermore, with the support of Tchaikovsky · ■ ■, the rebels were well-equipped with weapons, including a large quantity of black-market weapons discarded by Umbrella, which caused the multinational coalition's anticipated 'five-month war' plan to fail.
The main reason Tchaikovsky · ■ ■ plunged Moldova into chaos was that his research team successfully replicated the method of 3D printing Bose-Einstein condensate'soldiers' using equipment and data left over from the Soviet era.
It seemed he intended to use this technology to control most countries in Europe.
However, judging from the'Spectral' that appeared in April 2011 and the discovery of Tchaikovsky · ■ ■'s body in the control room within the nuclear power plant, an accident occurred at the experimental base, leading to a large-scale leakage and rampage of'Spectral' entities.
.
Special Containment Procedures: None / All anomalies codenamed'Spectral' have been eliminated.
Results:
Since Captain Purus led twenty USS personnel to quell the project's rampage, and subsequent forces completely took control of the nuclear power plant, Umbrella also gained mastery of the technology for 3D printing Bose-Einstein condensate'soldiers'.
Given that this technology requires complex procedures such as extracting the complete spine, brain, and nervous system from a living subject, which is equivalent to indirectly extracting the subject's consciousness, it is a technology of an extremely cruel nature.
Therefore, considering humanitarian and practical aspects, Umbrella does not intend to widely apply this technology.
However, this technology also provided much inspiration for the Hive Research Center.
For example, in terms of extracting human consciousness, if it can be improved, it could allow people on the verge of death to'survive' in another way.
Or for the development of virtual worlds, etc.

Date: April 22, 2011.
Location: Sea View Villa in Haifa City.
Afternoon.
William, dressed in suit pants and leather boots, with a suit jacket and white shirt, sat in the office chair in the villa's study.
After reading the'Spectral' archive data, he casually locked the A4 screen and tossed it onto the desk.
Then William turned his chair to face the French window on his right, gazing at the shimmering sea outside to relieve his eye strain.
When Rebecca initially applied to him for the newly developed plasma weapons, he had already guessed that the anomaly in Moldova was very likely from the movie'Spectral'.
After all, the location and the characteristics displayed were very similar to the'Spectral' that appeared in the movie.
When William learned of this, he immediately dispatched three Pelican transports to deliver new equipment to the Gamma Task Force, and then he didn't pay much attention to the containment of'Spectral'.
Because Rebecca had already discovered the characteristics of'Spectral', and besides, if such an anomaly required the deployment of large-scale forces...
Then Umbrella would not be qualified to maintain order in human society.
Even the system, which used to give missions every six months, had become 'less talkative' during this period; if William didn't actively converse with it, it wouldn't even make a sound.
The main reason, as the system explained when facing the Reapers, was that Umbrella's current strength hardly needed its help to advance technology.
The research team at the Hive, along with Halsey and Rebecca, were sufficient to allow the company to continue developing upwards.
The facts were as William expected;'Spectral' was no match for plasma weapons and bio-armor equipped with AT shields, and the Gamma Task Force completely controlled the situation with no casualties.
They even enabled Umbrella to master the technology for creating'Spectral'.
