Chapter 61: Send a Dream
Ethan has always believed that if you give something, you will get something in return, no one will help a stranger or even an enemy for no reason, and Annette doesn't look like a warm-hearted good old person, her previous behavior is obviously asking for Ethan.
She didn't know if she could have enough leverage to impress or convince Ethan to help her, so she sold it first: since Ethan was going to collect all kinds of viruses, then she would hand over all the virus samples to Ethan, and the next thing would be to see how the person's character was.
If it succeeds, Annette gets what she wants, and that is naturally the best outcome.
Even if she doesn't succeed, she has nothing to lose, even if those virus samples are not taken by Ethan, she can't take them with her, and with the current state of Raccoon Town, this secret research institute will definitely be abandoned and destroyed.
"You say you're from another world, which means you have the technology or ability to travel between different universes. ”
"Yes. ”
Ethan suddenly understood what Annette wanted.
"You want to leave this world?"
Annette was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly.
Ethan was not surprised that Annette wanted to leave, in this world she had nostalgia for Ethan did not know, he was sure that even if Annette could escape from Raccoon Town smoothly, the next days would not stop.
As a member of Ambrera, Annette, who helped William Birkin create the G virus and understood the entire production process of the G virus, almost imagined what kind of ending would come after escaping.
As for the federal council to send someone to protect it, Ethan believes this, because such a valuable researcher, federal officials will also attach great importance to it, whether it is to let her continue to develop a modified model of G or to study the serum vaccine of G, Annette will pay attention to it.
Of course, this attention is not necessarily a good thing, and it almost means that Annette will spend the rest of her life in captivity. She had no choice at all, because she was more or less responsible for the disaster in Raccoon Town, and any charge that federal officials could arrange for her to walk around.
Freedom? No kidding.
Even if she can escape the federal want, she may not be able to escape Ambrera's pursuit, Ambrera and their family have completely turned against each other, and the so-called conglomerate of a group of crazy people will not allow her to continue to live a dashing life outside.
It can be said that Annette is in a very bad situation now, and neither side will give her a good ending: maybe she can give up her life and die here, but she has to think about her daughter.
What about Shirley?
She was only twelve years old, could she have been allowed to lose her parents like this and grow up as an orphan?
Annette couldn't think of a solution, she wanted to exchange her freedom for Shirley's freedom at first, but she doubted that this would work, Shirley's presence was almost the best way to control her, she didn't believe that those officials were so humane that they would give up such a good handle.
And even if Shirley is really given a free life, there is no certainty that Ambrella's gang of lunatics will do anything, and Shirley may soon be in danger without federal protection.
Annette seems to be in a mortal dilemma, and it is only after Ethan realizes that she is from another world that she begins to think that escaping to another world might be a good option.
To another world, to be an ordinary person where no one knows who they are, she and her daughter can start a new life.
"No, no. ”
For Ethan, this is not a difficult thing to do, it can be solved with a handful, and he really can't get used to the behavior of those guys who have locked up a little girl for more than ten years and conducted various experiments like white mice.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with doing so from those people's perspectives...... But why should Ethan think about those people? He's not in the same league as those guys.
Hearing Ethan's promise, Annette breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know what Ethan would ask, but since it was good to agree, she was afraid that Ethan would not let go at all, and would not be happy to say anything, so it would be troublesome.
Because she didn't have much time to waste haggling, she could have a hunch that once she left Raccoon Town, her miserable life would begin, and she couldn't be sure what the next path would be until she solved it sooner.
"Can you send us away as soon as we leave Raccoon Town?"
"No, I'm going to be in this world for about a year. ”
Ethan was here to collect viruses, but he didn't want to waste the year. Now the energy he consumes through the world has been compressed to a very low level, and most of it is consumed when he travels, and it will not consume too much space-time energy to stay in the current world.
In this case, the longer he stays in a single world, the more cost-effective it is, and time is also an important resource for him now.
"One year ......"
Annette frowned again, but she hadn't forgotten to show the way to the others, she had mentioned before that there was a special train inside the institute that allowed everyone to leave Raccoon Town directly, or even directly to a nearby town.
"But it's better not to go there, because this is the train inside Ambrera, and that station is also the property of Ambrera, from the equipment to the personnel, all of which belong to Ambrera, and we go there to send ourselves to Ambrella's hands.
Everyone remembered this, they just had to leave Raccoon Town by car, and as for what to do after leaving, they hadn't thought about it yet.
"It's enough to be able to get out of this hellish place. ”
Embrera's problem Ethan didn't think about it because he didn't need to waste that time and energy at all.
In this world, Ambrera is not as powerful as in the movie world, after the Resident Evil event broke out in Raccoon Town, and then the entire city was wiped out by a nuclear bomb, the Ambrera Group slid into the abyss at a rapid pace, and was soon completely crushed and disintegrated.
It won't be long before Ambrera will go from a well-known multinational conglomerate to a street rat that everyone shouts at, although there are still many remnants active everywhere, but they have to put on a vest on their faces to dare to come out and make trouble.
In short, the next journey is still uneventful, although there are many more powerful mutant zombies and strange monsters in the depths of the institute, not to mention Ethan, even Leon and these people can easily deal with these monsters.
Along the way, this group of people has basically honed their rich combat experience, and they all know clearly what monsters they should deal with, and more importantly, with Ethan, a powerful otherworldly mage, they don't have to worry and be scared at all, and can face all kinds of monsters with a relatively relaxed mentality.
You can even complain and joke a few words, this kind of behavior that seems to go out to play games in the suburbs makes an elite agent very uncomfortable, especially when she is still thinking about how to steal the G virus sample.
But even after boarding the train and returning to the surface from the ground, Ada didn't find a chance, and she was already sure that Ethan had stored the virus sample in another dimension, perhaps a magic like exclusive and personal storage, and she couldn't do anything about this ability.
She's an elite agent, not a magician, so how does she know how to crack a magician's spells?
After looking at the rapidly falling backwards and feeling that it was far enough away from Raccoon Town, Ethan told Annette to stop the train, and then they walked to a nearby town. At this time, the problem in front of everyone is no longer how to escape, but how to solve the problems accumulated before.
There is no one here who has the feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and when Ethan first showed his extraordinary, taking a group of people to play casually through the monster group, they no longer have the tension of dying at any time, and there is no surprise at all to be able to escape in the end.
This feeling is like watching a suspense movie that already knows the ending, and naturally there will be no special feeling.
Without the pressure of survival, there is no way to suppress some of the backlog problems, and it only erupts at this time, which is completely the reason why Leon has good enough control.
"I can't let you take them. ”
Leon is a police officer, and although the Raccoon Town Police Department where he works is no longer in name, the current place where everyone is not in Raccoon Town is not strictly speaking, Leon has no authority to arrest anyone.
However, Annette's involvement was too important, and he really couldn't sit back and watch Ethan take the two of them away like this.
"I was already expecting that. ”
Ethan was not surprised that Leon would stop him, and he found that Robert and Claire were also on Leon's side and expressed their support for him.
As for Ben, the reporter and Ada, who had always pretended to be just a passerby, they quietly stepped aside with an attitude that they didn't care about themselves.
"But like I said, you don't have the power to stop me. ”
Ethan snapped his fingers casually, and then Annette, who looked very nervous, found that Leon and the others were standing there motionless in a daze, as if they had become statues.
"What did you do to them?"
"It just triggered an illusion and plunged them into the illusion I had weaved...... This illusion doesn't really hurt them, it feels like a dream to them. ”
"Dreams, what kind of dreams?"
"Dreams of how they should escape from the monster-infested Raccoon Town without my presence and help. ”
