Chapter 90: The long-awaited phone call
Chapter 90
The eleven members of the special tactics team looked slightly relieved, and then looked at each other with the help of the faint light coming from the alley.
They may have been aware of the attrition for a long time, but they all tacitly did not bring it up, and some sadness could only be temporarily put in their hearts and turned it into strength......
A few zombies, with the skills of Lin Chen and the others, naturally solved the battle before making any sound!
The slightly congested cars on the street undoubtedly explained to Lin Chen and the others that they had begun to approach the Meimen Bridge again!
The wandering zombie is probably the previous car owner, who was trapped in the car when the T virus infection spread to this side, and after becoming a zombie, he was also restricted by the crowded cars, so he was not attracted by the battle in the city center.
And the keys found in their pockets also prove this from the side.
Most of the cars here were undamaged, it was easy to find a suitable car, and the keys that Lin Chen and the others had found could easily open the doors of several of them.
The skilled Special Tactics team members quickly inspected the six cars they had acquired, and all but one of them had a broken engine, while the other five were able to start normally.
"Jingle bells! Jingle bells! ”
Just as several of the team members were checking the fuel tank, the mobile phone in a car suddenly rang!
The crisp and rapid ringing of the bell suddenly sounded in the midst of the busyness, startling most people, and their eyes focused on this mobile phone with a flashing marquee.
There are patches of zombies floating in the silent night sky, and the mobile phone ringtones that ring at this time are, of course, all kinds of discordant and weird, veritable midnight bells!
Lin Chen's heart moved, his eyes flew from the heights around him like an eagle falcon, and sure enough, he found the three cameras installed on the street lamp.
Two of them were slowly spinning to bring everyone into the camera, while the other was motionless and focused on the car where the mobile phone was located, seemingly damaged.
"Hello?"
Before Andrew approached, Lin Chen took the lead in picking up the old-fashioned mobile phone and pressed Answer.
Fortunately, the buttons of the mobile phone are all universal, otherwise Lin Chen, who is used to using large-screen smart phones, really doesn't know how to use this thing to connect.
The time when Resident Evil broke out was in the nineties, and the mobile phone at that time only had the function of calling and texting, and the screen was still black and white, so Lin Chen was really awkward to use.
"I think you need help."
In the middle of the phone, a deep and intelligent male voice came.
"No, we're fine."
Lin Chen replied reflexively.
"There are fourteen of you, and the weapons must have been depleted, and I can help you escape."
Lin Chen's gaze wandered over the two cameras, and through them, there seemed to be a confident gaze slowly turning over everyone.
"Let's make a deal."
The voice on the phone tried to make himself appear calm, so that people could not perceive his emotions.
"Do we still have a choice?"
Lin Chen's eyes flashed, and he asked self-deprecatingly.
"If you want to survive tomorrow morning......"
The voice on the phone paused, "Then there is no choice." ”
The conversation between Lin Chen and the phone did not lower the volume, although Jill and they didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but the ancient and mysterious abyss lingua franca in Lin Chen's mouth, through the translation of some special rules, became pure and fluent English in their ears, which was extremely clear.
Lin Chen raised his arm, signaled Jill and the others to be calm, and temporarily suppressed the doubts in their hearts.
"Okay."
Lin Chen nodded helplessly, and the camera produced by the umbrella company clearly captured his expression and presented it on the computer screen.
"And where is your daughter now?"
Lin Chen paused, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with an incomprehensible smile.
"She's ...... at Raccoon City Junior High School"
The voice on the other end of the phone said, paused suddenly, as if someone had choked his neck, and strangled all the words he was about to say next in his throat!
"You...... How do you ......"
Lin Chen could even feel at this time what kind of shocked voice the owner on the other end of the phone would have.
"Not only that, but I also know that a nuclear bomb will be purged tomorrow, no, the city will be purged when it comes out today, and you should be in a hurry than I am. Now, is it time to start our trading? ”
Dr. Ashiford looked at Lin Chen's smiling face through the computer screen in his wheelchair and was silent for a long time, as if he was in a stupor, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette butt in his hand was about to burn and carbonize his fingers!
After a long time, Dr. Ashford, who wore tiny round-rimmed glasses, sighed heavily, as if he didn't know the pain, and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, the scorching pain releasing his violently fluctuating emotions.
"Name your terms."
Lin Chen waited for a while, and Dr. Ashford's voice came out again at noon, he knew that in this transaction, he had fallen into passivity, and he was indeed extremely worried about his daughter.
Therefore, even if he had made deals with several waves of people before, he did not use them as bargaining chips. He had a hunch that if he wanted to rescue his daughter, he would probably have to rely on this former employee of the umbrella company named Lin Chen.
As long as you can save your daughter, why not agree to all his conditions?
Dr. Ashford simply put on a low posture of being slaughtered.
"Do everything you can to contact all the armed men in the city who are still capable of fighting to join us at the school, and we will set off with your daughter at three o'clock in the morning, and you will need to provide a safe escape route when the time comes."
Lin Chen said the words that had been prepared for a long time.
"And then?"
"It's gone."
"Gone?"
Dr. Ashford couldn't believe it, he originally thought that Lin Chen was some kind of commercial spy who would take the opportunity to ask him for the secrets of the umbrella company. But he never thought that Lin Chen's request would be so simple, isn't this what he has been doing?
"Watch the time, three o'clock in the morning. In addition......"
Lin Chen paused and said, "Help me pay attention to a beautiful woman with blonde hair and a shawl, her name is Alice, and she used to be the head of the hive's security department. I'll always have the phone with me. ”
"I've been working hard and it's a pleasure to work with."
When he learned that Lin Chen still needed to rely on himself, Dr. Ashford breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.
Lin Chen stuffed his mobile phone into his pocket, met more than a dozen puzzled glances, and said with a wry smile: "The original plan remains the same, let's go to the nearest gun shop to replenish weapons first, and then go to Raccoon City Junior High School, where there will be surviving armed personnel gathered." ”
Seeing that everyone's gaze at him did not have the slightest intention of leaving, Lin Chen subconsciously wanted to turn the short sword in his hand, but found that his fingers were just stirring the air in vain and stiffened in the air, and sighed helplessly.
"All my arrangements are for a smoother escape, so you don't have to look at me like that."
"Who's that on the phone?"
Andrew's expression was a little gloomy.
"A senior employee of Umbrella Corporation, who knows a lot of top-secret information, that his daughter had an accident during the evacuation and is now hiding in the school waiting for rescue and rescuing her, and this employee will help us escape."
Lin Chen explained, his hands in his pockets.
"Okay, let's go, we won't wait for anyone."
Jill said, getting into a car filled with gas, Lin Chen's explanation was barely acceptable, and Jill's sentence of not waiting for others made people suppress his emotions.
The nuclear bombs were all laid out, and even if the other special tactics team members had more doubts and doubts in their hearts, they had to endure it first, and each of them allocated a little, and after filling the fuel tanks of the five cars with gasoline taken from the other cars, they also carried some spare parts.
Five cars were enough to easily fit twenty people, so except for Jill, Lin Chen, Claire, and Andrew, the rest of the team drove away in twos and threes.
Lin Chen said that there would be other survivors coming to converge, and five cars might not be enough by then.
