Chapter 13: The Choice

Ever heard of a rat bogey?

Faced with the rats that he wanted to exterminate, he didn't dare to act because of the precious porcelain. When safety cannot be guaranteed, patience is necessary, even if it is reluctant.

"You know, there are some things that can be discussed, but some things that can't be discussed – plan before you make an offer, or you're just wasting everyone's time. ”

Along the passageway, you pass by the corpses of the team members. Wesker paused slightly, he lowered his head, stared at the broken masks, and then grinned coldly at the corners of his mouth.

"Really? I'll make a long story short. ”

Klute laughed too.

"Leaving alive, it's as simple as that. ”

"Yes. ”

"So let's start talking about the details. ”

"Ambrera is saying yes, are you questioning our credibility?"

"Does that sound like that? I'm sorry, that's what I meant. ”

Klute didn't mean to come out of the corner at all, instead continuing to talk to Wesker behind the wall.

In contrast to this caution, Wesker is not too close. He continued to speak from a 'proper distance', without even letting the operatives keep closer.

"That's terrible, so, what do you say?"

"It's very simple, I'm going to leave the insurance. ”

"Huh?"

"You want the research results there. Well, I'll have to keep some hands on it. ”

“……”

"Do you prefer a 1,000 and 24-byte kanji key, or a small and reliable ignition device?"

"Are you serious?"

"Or let's take the directory hard drive, and you choose. ”

Some of them have a choice, of course they don't have to choose.

Wesker glanced at the time and decisively admitted 'defeat'.

"I'll give you fifteen minutes. ”

"That's generous. ”

Without hesitation, Klut turned around and left, running in the direction of the elevator. And Wesker, who had negotiated the conditions, did not pursue, but just waved his hand calmly, allowing his subordinates to speed up their actions.

"You all heard that, didn't you? Fifteen minutes. ”

What is 15 minutes enough?

The answer is to kill all the tourists.

After all, Ambrera's actions are unsightly, so it is 'right' to clean up the witnesses.

This is a veritable evil, a slaughter with a pure purpose. Both Wesker and Klut knew what was going to happen, but nothing could change that. So the two of them didn't even mention it.

Wesker doesn't like to kill, but he doesn't averse to killing either. If killing is his task, then he will do it dutifully.

And Kluet's side is even simpler.

He is willing to do justice, but for now he has to be patient.

Not because of fear, but because of incompetence.

This is not a situation that can be solved by 'doing his best', and no matter how much he threatens, Wesker will not be able to accept a new escapee.

Releasing Kluet and Alice is already the limit of Ambrera's ability - it also has to do with who they are.

And an innocent person with no background? Wesker will not let go of such an 'inconsequential' person.

Because they're going to do bad things.

They can't keep it a secret – it's not their will. Some people are just capable of doing whatever they want, and if they want to hear something, then these unfortunate people have to say something.

Whether you want to or not, you can or can't.

While it's a pity, Kluet did give up on them. This will become a scar in the old man's heart, and he will continue to be tormented in the years to come.

The brutal killing began.

Heavily armed operatives began to clear the cabins of tourists. Regardless of gender, age or child, as long as these soldiers find them, they will be greeted with a bullet.

From the third floor to the first floor, all visitors were quickly cleaned up in order to dispose of the evidence. Pieces of high-energy explosives were also glued to key locations.

At the flip of a switch, the entire underwater park explodes in an instant. The shock wave spreads along the central axis, tearing each section of the chamber to shreds.

By this time, Klut had already taken the elevator to the undersea laboratory.

The moment the elevator opened, Klute was greeted by the muzzle of a gun pointed at him—and the faithful figure of 590 appeared. She breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of Klute alone, before she stepped forward and lowered her pistol.

“boss？”

"Keep the radio silent...... What's the situation now?"

He patted 590 on the shoulder and looked back at the elevator: everything was fine there, none of the elevators were running.

"We've pinned down the lab and found the submersible escape pod. But boss, they seem to have found something amazing in Chicago, so you'd better go and check it out. ”

"Something terrible?"

How big will it be?

Kluet, as he walked inside, pondered. But with the departure of the elevator hall, into the main part of the research room. His attention was drawn to the room's setting.

“…… It's really a biological laboratory. ”

It's obviously underwater, but the layout of the research room is quite spacious. Entering the main entrance from the elevator hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the breached reception hall - the fingerprint lock used to verify your identity has been broken by a pistol, and the gate made of tempered glass has been pushed open by brute force. Rubber tires that were forcibly locked were forced across the floor, and the white tiles were rubbed with a few rubber-wiped marks.

The desk behind the door was unattended, and Klute walked over to see only a diorama of the lab on the projection screen.

"How many people are here?"

"About one hundred and forty people. ”

"So little?"

Klute checked the size of the lab. There is a new understanding of the 'spaciousness' of scientific research.

While Griffin's southeast base is undoubtedly more 'wasteful' than it is here in terms of size, that's what it's like to know - Klut knows what's in the base, so he thinks it's all necessary. And he doesn't know about scientific research, so he doesn't know what these spaces can do.

But those things have nothing to do with him.

After only a slight distraction, Kluet immediately turned his attention back to business.

Compared to what this laboratory does, it is more important to have good insurance now.

Wesker only gave him fifteen minutes to prepare, which was not at all too much room for waste.

"Where's the PPK?"

"I'll lead the way. ”

The first priority is to lock the server and install a destructive virus. If the Umbrella Company intends to reverse itself after Kluet's party leaves, then these preparations can destroy all the data and make the Umbrella Company's operation completely unsuccessful.

It's a lot harder than outright destruction, after all, there are complexities like power outages to account for — and in order to ensure the effectiveness of deterrence, Klut must ensure that the combination lock functions so that the umbrella company has nothing to do with it.

Can he do it?

No.

But ppk can.

PPK is Kluet's most important assistant, in order to solve various puzzles. Klut has expanded the PPK with a large number of modules.

And one of them is the 'information warfare module'.

And of course, that's not the end of it.

Klut also wanted to know what the lab was working on.

The Umbrella Company is a notorious biochemical company, and both the underworld and the white industry regard it as a scourge.

What kind of research will pique their interest?

There is no doubt that it must be a very dangerous topic.

Along the transparent passage with a strong sense of technology, Klute moved quickly under the guidance of 590. While passing by one office after another, Klut also learned about the information from 590's mouth.

This is the deep-sea research institute of the Rabili Pharmaceutical Bureau, and there is only one phenomenon where research is carried out.

That's a wonderful virus called 'Eternal.'

Beyond T and G, even beyond the existence of biological essence.

Humans infected with the virus will either fall into an uncontrollable collapse and die within minutes. Either they will be safe and sound, and they will receive the 'blessing' of immortality.

"God......

A strong sense of fear crept over Kluet.

Faced with such a terrible unfolding, the old man fell into chaos.
