Room of the Hall of Democracy.

"Your Excellency, what happened when you summoned us all here?" A short, fat old man who was close to the age of sixtieth and was old and dignified asked when he saw that everyone in the council was almost there.

As soon as he spoke, the other councillors around him, who were whispering in private, stopped their voices and turned their eyes to Mihawk.

"Rest easy, Councillor Joy, the situation is urgent, but we have to wait until Generals Bruce, Rommel, and Gaeda arrive." Mihawk was very respectful of the councillor and patiently explained.

Joy's eyes flashed with a sparkle when he heard this.

"Military operations?!"

In the originally quiet conference room, there was a buzzing discussion again.

Joey didn't ask any more, crossed his hands in front of him, and began to close his eyes.

Soon, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the conference room, and a group of soldiers came to the front of the conference room door to stand guard, two of the soldiers opened the door of the conference room, and three soldiers with an iron-blooded aura rushed in.

The first soldier to walk in was tall and burly, with a majestic countenance, and a sense of power in his gestures, as if he wanted to, ready to cause a storm.

The soldier who followed him was of medium stature, looking shrewd and capable, and what was hidden under his cold face was the explosive power that suddenly gave the opponent a fatal blow.

The soldiers who walked last were also of medium height, but they were more blessed, and their murderous aura was slightly lower than that of the first two. Only those who have fought with him know that this is a disguise, a seemingly unremarkable layout, and when he shows his hideousness, you will realize that you have fallen into a Jedi.

After the three generals were seated, Mihawk spoke: "When the people are all here, I will get straight to the point." I got information from Secret Service Director Kings tonight that just last night, there was a Resident Evil in Hurricane Town, Titan Town, and Pudding Town for unknown reasons. ”

As soon as the words came out, all four were shocked.

"Quiet!" The sturdy-looking Bruce snorted disdainfully at some of the panicked councillors, then turned to Mihawk and said. "Mr. President, please continue."

Mihawk adjusted his mood and said, "According to Kings, the inhabitants of these three towns have mutated, turning from normal humans to huge monsters, bloodthirsty and very aggressive. At the moment, government personnel are evacuating the residents of Greentown, but it seems that the monsters are still moving eastward, so I need the army to immediately deploy in the city of Deszin, and we must not allow the area of influence to continue to expand. ”

The surrounding councillors looked at each other, but this time they tacitly did not say anything, but their eyes completely revealed their inner thoughts: it was incredible! Originally, I thought it was an incident where a weapon similar to biochemical poison gas caused a large number of deaths, but now the president actually said that those people have become huge monsters?! Still attacking people? Are we in a sci-fi movie?

"Mr. President! If I'm not mistaken, do you mean that those people don't just lose their minds and attack others indiscriminately, but mutate into monsters? Joey raised everyone's doubts.

After receiving Mihawk's affirmative reply, Joy continued: "With all due respect, Mr. President, what you are saying is a bit out of the normal realm of perception. It is really ...... to apply for the transfer of troops on such grounds."

"Councillor Joy, I know these words are unbelievable, but even if you think that such a thing as mutation is hard to believe, then a Resident Evil of this scale needs to be dealt with with by the military immediately." Mihawk is noncommittal about Joey's questioning, and in fact he is skeptical of such claims, but he chooses to believe Kings and believes that it is not unfounded.

"I think it's too early to characterize the sudden incident you are talking about." Joey pestled the ground with his cane and said to Mihawk.

As soon as he heard this, Mihawk suddenly changed color, and said in a cold voice: "Captain Joy, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Mr. President, I don't mean anything about you, state affairs are important. You summoned us late at night, and we knew the urgency of it, but the rules are the rules, and what is the real situation of the matter, we can't just make a hasty conclusion based on anyone's words or two, we must see the basis, otherwise how can we convince the public! Joey was not afraid of Mihawk's questioning, and his face was righteous.

Mihawk was silent, knowing that he had overreacted.

Gaida, who seemed to be amiable, also said: "Councilor Joy is right, until the facts are clear, we can't give our soldiers an order to prepare for battle, vague monster statements will cause panic to ordinary soldiers, and the morale of the battle will be over before it starts; But you can't keep them in the dark, otherwise they will suddenly encounter this kind of monster and there will be a lot of casualties. So our detailed information is very important to us. ”

At this moment, the door to the conference room was pushed open again, and an old man with a grim face strode in, followed by two staff members.

The person who came was the old kins who had called Mihawk before.

Old Kings walked over to Mihawk and looked around at the crowd, then finally looked at Joey and snorted coldly.

When Joey saw Kings like this, he smiled. "I knew that as the person who knew the most about the current emergency, he had not appeared, and he must have been preparing to give me an answer."

"After so many years of working together, is it still unclear about your rigid personality? Sooner or later, it will be because of conformism. Kings scolded angrily.

As the two spoke, the staff activated the large screen in the conference room, and Kings then walked up to the console and directly called up the satellite imagery.

"My intelligence agents first encountered the mutants this afternoon in the dense forest between Hurricane, Titan, and Pudding, and later discovered that both Hurricane and Pudding had a large number of mutated residents. This is a satellite photo of the situation in the three towns last night, each town has multiple fire points, so it is inferred that the situation in Titan Town is mostly the same as the other two towns, as for the extent of the development, it is not yet clear, because contact with the three towns has been lost. There are still twenty minutes left for the satellite to bring these three towns into the monitoring range, and transmit the images for tonight, I will take this time to talk about the information I have about the mutants, the mutants have been transformed from normal people, most of them are between two meters and two meters five, and the beasts have sharp instincts, and will attack and devour humans; It has a strong ability to resist hits, and ordinary bullets have limited damage unless they hit the head, eyes and other vital points, and they need to be compensated for by quantity; Hard bone spurs will grow from the upper limbs as a means of attack, and the force is enough to easily overturn the car, and it is estimated that it can run at full speed up to 150 kilometers per hour, but it does not seem to last long......"

"Wait a minute, Old Kings, I'm sorry to interrupt you, I want to know where you got this data, it sounds like my trained soldiers are nothing more than fresh food in front of these townspeople, do you mean the army is going to fight a group of 'Brista Sheriffs'?" Bruce raised questions about Gins' description.

"General Bruce, this is the information that my elite squad under my command has been completely defenseless, and after a sudden attack, it has almost wiped out the whole army, it can make your soldiers bleed less and avoid unnecessary sacrifices, so you better remember them for me, instead of selling your self-righteous humor, which is an insult to the fallen national defenders!" Kings poked the console's table with his right index finger and said in a fierce voice.

As he spoke, Kings' phone rang, and Kings pulled out the phone and quickly answered it.

"What?! Take the image right away! After Gins, he hung up the phone and quickly operated his hands on the table.

Soon, the large screen in the conference room showed a new satellite pattern: several buildings were burning, and there were many black dots moving in the streets between the buildings, and among the many black dots, black shadows that were significantly larger than the others were attacking them.

"Which town is this?" Bruce asked, because he found that the layout of the picture that appeared on the screen did not match the satellite image of the three towns he had just seen, and that it had been less than twenty minutes from the time Kings started to answer the phone just now.

"This is Greentown, a large town to the east of the three towns, and it should have been the time for the remaining members of the 'Watchmen' to organize the local police to prepare for the evacuation of the local population and the deployment of troops on the edge of the city of Deszin. It was expected to take at least an hour for the mutants to arrive in Greentown, but now it seems that the situation is deteriorating much faster than we thought. "Kings' face was very ugly.

"Pay attention to the movements of those mutants, it seems that there are not many people who go deep into the town, but more of them are rushing towards the edge of the town, right? Hum! Greedy beast! If so, the situation is not as pessimistic as Kings thought. Rommel saw something and spoke up.

Bruce and Gada listened, glanced at the screen again, and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Mihawk asked Rommel, "Why did the general say this?" ”

Rommel said, "Mr. President, based on the current movement of this group of mutants, they do not want to spare any of the inhabitants of Greentown. So while it feels like the mutants are advancing quickly, they are bound to slow down next. Enough time to deploy troops in the city of Deszin. ”

Mihawk's face didn't look much better after listening to Rommel's explanation, which was clearly exchanging human life for time.

Gaida knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw Mihawk's face, and said: "Mr. President, if there is still strength left after mobilizing the army to deploy the defense line of Deszin City, we will send troops to rescue the citizens of Green Town, but if the time is too late, we can only focus on the overall situation, and sacrifice is inevitable." ”

"How can there be no spare energy? Isn't there a military base near the city of Deszin? Mihawk was puzzled.

"To be precise, it was a training base, and there was usually only one mechanized infantry regiment stationed there. There is no shortage of armaments, but there is no surplus in numbers. Gaida said.

"Then airlift soldiers from the nearest other military base! Do you want to see the lives of the inhabitants of a town? Mihawk said angrily.

At this time, the picture on the big screen changed again, and it turned out to be a satellite image of the three towns of the hurricane.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and when they saw the scene on the screen, there was a gasp in the conference room, and some of the councillors couldn't help but say, "Oh God! ”

The three towns on the screen are devastated, like abandoned empty cities. At the intersection of the road out of town, there is an endless traffic jam. Many vehicles can be seen colliding together, and occasionally one or two cars are burned to scrap metal, or deformed and overturned on the street.

"I propose to send troops immediately!" Seeing this scene, Mihawk couldn't bear it anymore and shouted emotionally. Then he faced Joey and asked Joey, "Councilor Joey, what about your council's decision?" ”

Joey looked back at the other councillors present and said in a low voice, "Take a stand, everyone! ”

The military operation was unanimously approved.

"Who is in charge of the base next to the city of Deszin?" Mihawk asked.

"It's Major Pippen, Mr. President." Gaida replied.

"'Mad Man' Pippen?" Mihawk was surprised.

"I can't imagine that the president still remembers this person, yes, it's him, after receiving the meritorious service, he violated discipline, and as a result, he was transferred to this base, and has been in charge here, first, to sharpen his temperament, and secondly, to have new recruits and enough ammunition for him to vent, so that he will not make any more trouble." Gaida mentioned this Pippen, and there was a slight helplessness in his tone.

"Good! This person is properly used, and with his leadership, the combat effectiveness of his soldiers must be no different. If he successfully completes the task this time, he will be transferred out and reinstated! Mihawk suggested.

Gaida was overjoyed when he heard this: "Then I will thank Mr. President first!" ”

Bruce was unhappy when he heard Mihawk's words, but Rommel didn't react.

"For the matter of transferring troops and supporting from other bases, Bruce and General Rommel will command their respective bases, and they will be quick and simple, anyway, there is no shortage of equipment in Pippen's base, and Pippen will command this operation after the soldiers are in place."

"Understood, Mr. President."

"Okay, I got it!"

Bruce and Rommel stood up at the same time in response.

"By the way, Councilor Joy, I also need to get Marshall, the mayor of Deszin City, to cooperate with the military management and start evacuating the people of the western district of Deszin City now, and we have to sign this order together." Mihawk made another request to Joey.

"It's expedient, call him directly, and the order that needs to be signed will be said later." Congressman Joy said.

"Alright, let's get started now, and remember to update me on the progress of the matter in a timely manner!" Mihawk finally ordered.

Everyone left the conference room, leaving Mihawk and Old Kings alone.

"Old Kings, do you have anything to say to me?" Mihawk, who was about to leave, asked after being stopped by Kings.

"This matter, we need to get some things into account, and this incident is not completely clueless." Kings whispered.

"What do you say? What the hell is there that I don't know yet? Mihawk exclaimed.

"There are indications that this incident may have been caused by the accident of Will Pharmaceutical's biological and chemical weapons development, and it is likely that the military is behind the scenes, but I don't know who it is now, and there is no solid evidence, not to mention that the military is still needed to solve the problems faced, let alone startle the snake, so that he or they have other thoughts at this time." Kings explained. "So don't think I'm hiding anything from you."

Mihawk sighed, "You're doing the right thing!" Everything will be discussed after this incident is resolved. ”

As the two finished their conversation and walked out of the conference room, a general who had left the government building and was riding in his car was on the phone.

"What did the 'Night Stalker' and the 'Lone Wolf' do? Let the movement be so big? I immediately contacted them to find out, and it was ridiculous that I found out that something had happened in my own 'backyard' through someone else's mouth. Giving you five hours to deal with this, I hate trouble, and if things really get out of hand, you know what to do. With that, the general hung up the phone.

On the outskirts of Deszin, Pippen is responsible for the training base.

A shrill alarm pierced the sky, and the entire base was instantly lit up, and all personnel quickly gathered in the open field.

"Damn, there's a battle going on! In addition to being in bed, it's time to prove that you're gentlemen! Give Lao Tzu spiritual points! A sturdy man with dark skin, a small head, a face full of insolence, and bulging muscles like pieces of iron was shouting at the soldiers in front of him. Needless to say, this person must be Pippen.

"Boss! You are not mistaken! Do we still have a war to fight here? Said a lieutenant who seemed to have a good relationship with Pippen. Don't bluff, just let us put down a few weak chickens and we'll be done. ”

was rejected by his subordinates, Pippen didn't care, and scolded with a smile: "Tell you, Leddy, this time it's really a tough battle, don't be scared and pee your pants!" ”

The crowd laughed.

"That's it! Everybody's on orders! Pippen's face suddenly darkened. Now go and get your equipment in order, standard, live ammunition; firepower strike squads, heavy weapons configuration; Tankmen, fire out your 'pets' and arm them to the teeth for me. By the way, there is also a logistics team, and then prepare a regimental weapon to come out, and the configuration is the same as above. Twenty minutes later, we set off, and we all understood! ”

Everyone realized that it was true, and began to carry out Pippen's orders meticulously.

Pippen tore the map from the adjutant's hand, glanced at it roughly, and drew three circles on it with his pen. Then he said to the adjutant: "You are responsible for arranging the people who come to support the base, so that they can assemble on my left and right flanks after receiving their weapons. ”

"Yes! Sir! ”

Soon, the first people in the base to set up the defensive line set off under the leadership of Pippen.

When the entire main road was deployed and the subsequent reinforcements began to assemble on his flanks, Pippen ordered two helicopter gunships to take off and sail in the direction of Greentown to reconnoiter the situation along the way.

In Green Town, Ren Wei and his entourage naturally did not know that in the past few hours, the government had begun to react to this incident. Even if they knew, it is estimated that they would not be easy. Because when they went to several street intersections on the edge of Greentown as planned, they found a large number of mutants closing the road at the intersection.

Suddenly they had no way to escape.
