At the beginning of the 21st century, Umbrella has become the largest for-profit organization in the United States and a world business giant.

The behemoth's economic and political tentacles reach to all corners. On the surface, it is an international super-monopoly enterprise, involving most of the high-tech industries such as drugs, medical hardware, and defense industry products, and is the world's leading supplier of computer technology and health care products. However, even if many of its employees do not know, its real source of profit comes from unknown secret industries such as military science and technology, life genetic engineering, and biological weapons.

July 1998

Raccooncity, located in the Midwest of the United States. It is a modern city with a population of 100,000. And its predecessor was a small country town. Because of the intervention and support investment of the umbrella, it has been transformed into a modern industrial city. The strong influence of the umbrella company makes it a part of people's daily lives. Fully 50% of the citizens are employees of the umbrella company. This is despite the fact that 50% of the citizens are ignorant of the illegal activities of the umbrella company.

Little did they know that just below the city lies a huge underground laboratory called Hive, a giant underground laboratory for bioengineering.

Hive - Experimental storage room

This is a storage platform for the latest T-virus and pathogen vaccines.

A figure in a heavy white biohazard suit stood in front of the console, controlling the robotic arm on the opposite platform through the transparent window, and slowly but carefully placing several spiral-shaped test tubes shaped like DNA on the platform into the silver metal suitcase next to it.

The figure broke away from the console, took off its heavy hazmat suit and tossed it aside, pulling out the silver suitcase and stuffing it into the backpack it had brought in.

The figure stopped as he walked to the door of the lab, pulled out a spiral-shaped test tube with a blue liquid inside from his backpack, and threw it into the corner of the lab. At the same time, open the heavy metal sealed door of the laboratory and leave quickly.

This is a reed

The spiral-shaped test tube swirled in an arc in mid-air, slammed into the corner of the table, shattering the outermost layer of fragile glass, and then falling to the ground, scattering fragments. The blue liquid in the tube flows out.

It appears that an invisible gas has evaporated from the test tube and entered the ventilation duct......

In the corner of the room, the monitoring probe suddenly turned automatically and aimed at the spiral-shaped test tube on the ground that was broken into several sections.

……

"Umbrella employees must wear their ID cards at all times. All radioactive material must be recovered by 5 p.m. ”

A young white man with a coffee, a shirt and tie, and a blazer carrying coffee in the crook of his arm walked through the hallway where female voices repeated the announcement.

As he walked around the corner, a man in a black jacket and a backpack scurried into his shoulder. The coffee in the cup spilled all over me.

“Thankyou!” (Thank you!) )

Adam looked at the figure of the jacket that had just hit him, and couldn't help but complain loudly. It's just that the other party didn't respond at all and walked away quickly. Adam looked back at the man's back dissatisfied, walked to the elevator hall where there were already several people waiting, looked down at the coffee stains on his shirt, and even his flaxen hair was splashed with some coffee, and the smell of coffee emanated from his body. It smells good, but it's sticky. He couldn't help but complain: "God ......"

"Got it?" A Latino woman waiting for an elevator asked.

"yes." Adam restrained his negative emotions and smiled shyly in reply.

At this point, the elevator doors open. After waiting for the people inside to come out, Adam and several people who were waiting for the elevator walked in one after another.

Warehouse - An area for storing experimental organisms.

More than a dozen Dobermans hounds, who were locked alone in metal cages, suddenly raised their heads and barked wildly through the ventilation ducts above their heads, as if they had noticed something unusual.

The entrance to the laboratory

"Don't show me this."

"Why?"

"Because I'm busy."

Two men and one woman, three young white men in white coats, returned to the laboratory with coffee in hand, talking and laughing. A bald white man in the back closed the metal-sealed door.

"Drip-Drip-Drip-"

They had just put their coffee on the table when the sudden sound of an alarm made them look up in a daze.

At the same time, shrill sirens resounded throughout the underground research institute.

"It's nothing, fire police acting." In the office area, a white female supervisor with long soft blonde hair said indifferently to the phone on the phone. The other staff members were very cooperative and walked to the exit of the office area. But just as they were about to walk out of the office area a few steps away, the tempered glass door had been closed in advance.

"What's going on?" Adam turned to her and asked.

"Fire acting." The Latino woman replied, looking calm. Adam nodded thoughtfully.

laboratory

"Damn it!"

The three people in the lab were wondering when the fire sprinklers were suddenly activated. A large amount of firewater sprayed out of the sprinkler head above, and everything in the laboratory was quickly drenched by the rain.

"What the hell is going on!"

"Cover the computer!"

"Experiment! Remove them! ”

The three of them frantically looked for something to cover their computers and documents. These are important test records for Umbrella Corporation. If damaged, the damage is not incalculable.

Warehouse - An area for storing experimental organisms

"Hey! Guys, be quiet! Be quiet! The administrator yelled at the dogmanic and barking dogs, and these well-trained Dobermans were somehow manic and manic.

"Isn't the door supposed to be open?" Adam had just joined the company for a few days, and the first time he encountered this situation, he was a little panicked and squeezed to the front and kept pressing the door button.

"It should stop on the next floor." Latino women leaned over to him and told him not to be so nervous. As soon as the voice fell, the elevator suddenly stopped and the power went out.

Several people in the elevator looked around blankly, and the Latino woman picked up the emergency phone in the elevator and fed it a few times, only the sound of Didi's busy sound was inside.

"The line doesn't work."

Adam's throat moved, and he always had a bad premonition.

"I hope I'm thinking too much......"

Office area

"What's wrong?" The white female supervisor followed the group to the closed glass door.

"The door won't open."

"Locked." The employee replied with a rambling voice.

"What about the doors in the back?" The female supervisor swept away the strands of hair that fell on her shoulders, and she didn't panic at all. In fact, it's often the case here. According to the company's top management, it is to make employees experienced. Except for the new ones who get scared, most people are used to it.

So far, everyone thinks it's just an ordinary exercise. They don't know anything about the impending catastrophe.

"There's no fire here! No fire! The soaking wet white young woman waved her arms and shouted angrily at the surveillance head at the top of the corner of the lab. At this moment, the water on the floor of the laboratory has reached the height of the calf. Some office supplies float in the yellowish water, undulating. The bald white man was hurriedly holding something important to cover it.

"The password doesn't work!" The young white man who was struggling with the sealed door shouted. Even if you enter the code, you will not be able to open the sealed door.

"No fire! What's wrong with you, the door won't open! The woman shook her fist at the monitor head and roared.

"The water doesn't flow!" The white youth walked over to the console and pressed it a few times.

The young woman said, "What? ”

"This is the sealed room, help me open the door!" He returned to the gate and tried to enter the code again. This type of metal sealed door for bank vaults does not allow air to circulate when closed.

"Fuck the door!" The bald white man, who had been protecting the data from being soaked in the blisters, suddenly scolded, he no longer bothered with the materials, but took out the fire axe from the fire hydrant, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window facing the corridor, and slammed it with a roar.

Choke!

The tip of the fire axe pierced into the tempered glass, and a piece of glass the size of a little thumb nail bounced out and landed on the ground in the aisle outside, rolling several times.

"We have to get out of here. Hair...... What happened? Has it happened before? We must get out of here! Sweating profusely, Adam frantically pressed the elevator button in an attempt to get it back up and running.

"Hey, don't be nervous." Another white man persuaded.

"Can you not be nervous!" Adam pushed him away.

"Quiet!"

The Latino woman suddenly stopped arguing. She looked up at the top of the elevator. Faintly, she heard something.

"Quiet......" she repeated in a low voice, and when the sound of breathing in the elevator had subsided, she slowly turned and looked up at the oblique upward direction from which the sound had come.

Adam also heard some noises and whispered, "What is that......"

"Ahh

The screams of men and women mixed together quickly amplified from far and near. This is another elevator. It brushed shoulders with the elevator Adam was in and sped down. A second later, there was a loud bang. This was followed by the crunch of the elevator cable pumping the air.

“ohmygod。” The Latino woman muttered dumbly. The words fell, and the elevator they were in fell sharply!

"Ahh

Several people in the elevator pressed against the wall and involuntarily screamed.

9F

6F

3F

The emergency brake of the elevator was finally turned on, and the metal friction burst out into bright sparks. The people in the elevator were driven by the recoil, and they all sat on the ground, pale with fright. It's good they're still alive.

Although only temporarily.

office

Everyone gathered at the door, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to do next. Suddenly, a large amount of white gas suddenly erupted from the ceiling. The female supervisor's face changed drastically, and she shouted: "Fire extinguisher!" ”

Everyone panicked and wanted to get out of here, but it was too late. The oxygen content in the air quickly decreased, and the employees fell to their knees and gasped for breath. The female supervisor struggled to shout into the monitor.

"Stop!"

It's just that it still doesn't help, and the fire extinguishers are still emitting a lot of money. She grabbed her throat in pain and collapsed to the floor like the employees around her.

Squeak-

The crowd worked together to open a gap in the elevator door. Only the part of the elevator that is more than 30 centimeters is on the third floor, and the rest of the elevator is blocked by thick concrete walls on the outside. The Latino woman leaned down and looked out with her eyes on the door.

"Let me see." Adam saw that her expression was wrong, and quickly squeezed her away. The target is a large number of employees who collapsed on the ground and did not respond.

"We're going to get out of here, we're going to get out of this building." Adam walked away from the gap, his voice trembling and turning his head.

Adam grabbed one side of the elevator and pushed it to the side, and said to the people behind him, "Help me this way." The other man grabbed the elevator door on the other side and Adam worked at the same time. The elevator door was propped open through a gap the size of a human head, and it was impossible to continue.

"That's all there is to it."

"I'm stuck."

The Latino woman looked at the height and width of the slit, took off her coat, and her voice trembled: "It's wide enough, I can squeeze it out...... Find a helper. ”

It's just that she kept asking herself in her heart, is there really a helper? Maybe they're the only ones still standing.

Handing the coat to the person behind her, she lay on the ground, her hand reached out to hold the outside of the elevator door, and her head squeezed out.

In the elevator hall, a surveillance head is facing the elevator door.

"I'm stuck." The woman only poked out one arm and head and got stuck. She found the gap too narrow and it was difficult to get out.

Ding――

Just as everyone was working together, a voice came into everyone's ears. They couldn't help but turn around and look up at the elevator. That's where the sound comes from.

"What's that?" Adam, who was covered in sweat, couldn't help but say.

"God! Brake! Get out! Another male who pulled the elevator door howled in horror.

Adam shouted incoherently, "We must get out of here!" ”

"I can't move!" The Latino woman cried out in pain, she was stuck.

Suddenly, the elevator cable suddenly operated, and the elevator braked urgently...... Loosened.

"Ahh

The Latino woman screamed and held her hands in front of her, and the ground quickly enlarged before her eyes.

Bang -

When the elevator came to a standstill, her hand was already on the ground. The cold touch seemed to pass through her hand and reach her cheeks.

"Ohmygod......" the woman's lips twitched.

"Push her out!" The people inside shouted.

"Pull me in!" The Latino woman turned to face up and shouted. She didn't want to stay any longer.

Squeak-

As soon as the voice fell, the elevator was back in operation. This time, it's up.

"Pull me in—" Before he could finish. She felt like the world was spinning. The last thing I heard was the frightened screams of everyone in the elevator.
