Leg 18: Protocol

The convoy headed for a temporary stronghold in Ambrera.

Shen Mu originally thought that it would be a well-defended office building somewhere, but the result was beyond Shen Mu's expectations, and the place they went to was only in a residential area.

There doesn't seem to be anything abnormal on the periphery of the residential area, and there is no defensive force exposed, but the interior is heavily guarded, the monitoring is intensive, and there are hidden firing points on rooftops and windows everywhere, once a large-scale zombie approaches, they will be divided and eliminated by these firing points.

In an ordinary house, more than a dozen computers are densely arranged, and a group of staff members are working in front of the computers with serious expressions.

"Welcome!" A researcher in a white coat stepped forward and stretched out his palm towards Shen Mu with a formulaic smile.

Shen Mu glanced at him and didn't stretch out his hand: "When can the video meeting start?" ”

The man didn't feel embarrassed, and naturally took his hand back: "It's ready, the director can meet with you by video at any time, please come with me." ”

Shen Mu followed the man into a room next door. The dΓ©cor of the room looks like a bedroom, but some of the furniture inside has been emptied, leaving only a computer in place.

The computer was turned on, just waiting to connect, just like he said...... Everything is ready.

Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~

The video was connected, and a white-haired old man appeared in the picture, the old man was sitting in front of the computer in a handmade suit, with a serious expression, and a sense of power and oppression from the superiors.

"I heard you want to see me?" In the video, the old man looked at Shen Mu with a smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

Shen Mu sat in front of the computer, and the man in a white research uniform stood beside him: "I want to make an agreement with Ambrella!" ”

In the video, the old man showed a look of interest on his face: "Tell me what you think." The old man's hands were crossed and his eyes looked at Shen Mu, as if he was listening to his subordinates' annual reports in the office.

Shen Mu said: "I want to become stronger, so I need Ambrera's technical support!" ”

"We've done Project Alice on you......"

"Not enough, your Alice project did help me to a certain extent, but it was not enough for my goal! I need to get stronger! ”

"I'm sorry, but Ambrella's use of the T-virus can only do so at the level of Project Alice, and if you're not satisfied, I'm afraid we won't be able to give you more ......."

The old man shook his head, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes, which made it impossible to see through his true thoughts.

"You don't need to worry about technical problems, I can provide it to you!" Shen Mu sat there and stretched out his finger to point at himself: "For example, those techniques that have transformed me before!" ”

Shen Mu's words made the face of the researcher standing next to him change, revealing a trace of excitement, and the hands crossed in front of his chest were slowly rubbed, and some sweat oozed from his palms.

"Why should I trust you?" The old man's face was still the same through the video, and he did not reveal his inner thoughts because of Shen Mu's words.

"Because it's not bad for you, I provide the technology, you provide the equipment and personnel, and everyone cooperates with each other." Shen Mu said.

The old man sneered: "Sounds very attractive...... But I'm a businessman, so why should I believe that you would give me such a generous gift for no reason? ”

"Even if this gift is enough to make your heart flutter?" Shen Mu looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Whether it's honey or poison, you have to screen it first, if you put a poison in your mouth as honey, isn't it stupid to die?" The old man sneered: "Do you say that's the truth?" ”

Shen Mu said: "Then I can hand over some of the information to you first, and then we will talk about the next cooperation after you have identified it?" ”

"Time!" The old man didn't doubt it this time, and asked directly.

"It's definitely not now, you've all cut my stomach open, and you should know that there can't be any information on me that interests you." Shen Mu's face was gloomy.

"I need a definite time, not an illusory promise." The old man shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but it seems that an agreement between us is not possible, because there is a fundamental difference in our demands."

Shen Mu stood up and walked towards the door, directly ignoring the unwilling look on the face of the researcher next to him.

Shen Mu's footsteps did not slow down at all, but his fists were unnaturally clenched together...... He was gambling that the enhanced science and technology in his body would be enough to arouse Ambrera's covetousness.

"I agree to your terms!"

When Shen Mu's hand touched the doorknob of the room, behind him, the voice of the old man compromising came from the video.

Shen Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "The time I said is definitely not as simple as a few days, after all, you should understand the importance of these materials." ”

"It doesn't matter, it's up to you to decide whether it's a few months or a few years, as long as you get these materials in your hands and make sure that the first person to contact you is me." After the old man said this, he directly turned off the video.

The researcher next to him stepped forward and showed that formulaic smile on his face again: "You keep this number, it is the personal satellite phone of our director, and this phone will not be replaced until the last resort." As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper from his pocket, wrote down a number and handed it to Shen Mu.

"I'm looking forward to working with you!" The man bowed slightly, turned to open the door and walked out.

Shen Mu looked at the number on the note, silently remembered it in his heart, and then held it in his palm hard, and his fighting spirit burst out, directly burning the note into ashes in his palm: "Time, it's almost over!" ”

Outside the room, the apparently well-placed researcher gestured to several armed men, then walked into another room, pulled out a satellite phone and dialed it.

"Director, I've left him your private number!"

"Yes, based on my observations, he found no surveillance equipment installed inside his body."

"Understood, I have been instructed to go down and start raising funds and researchers, and privately carry out research on mechanical modifications, and the name of the plan is tentatively set - Hurricane Project!"

"Director, do you need me to send someone to send the research target out of Raccoon City? After all, he didn't know that the company had already begun to prepare to use nuclear bombs to completely clean Raccoon City. ”

"After 10 minutes, the valuable personnel in the company will leave Raccoon City by helicopter one after another, and it is expected that all the evacuations will be completed within half an hour."

Bang!

The door slammed open, and an armed man rushed in with an anxious look on his face.

"What for?" The researcher frowned, looking at the subordinate who had broken through the door with displeasure.

"Target...... ...... in the room Gone! ”

Bang~

The satellite phone fell from his hand and slammed into the ground.
