Chapter 67: Eruption
He turned on his flashlight and carefully illuminated the room. After confirming that there was no one, he walked straight into the hall. No words, no hesitation. He walked over to the control panel in front of the elevator, entered the password, and opened the elevator to the underground tunnel.
As he descended the elevator to the pitch black, he walked across the platform with a flashlight, bypassing the puddle of blood on the ground that had belonged to the licker, and the body had long since been dragged away by Ambrera's research team. He jumped into the abandoned tunnel. Walk slowly inside.
After a few minutes of walking, he came to the site of the previous tunnel collapse, looked at the structure, and took a pile of explosives out of the big bag. It took him more than ten minutes to mark the appropriate blasting point, then he spent about the same amount of time placing the explosives at the marked blasting points and attaching them to a timed detonator, and after confirming the detonation point, he turned on the timer. Set the time to a 4-hour countdown.
After doing this, the man left with a flashlight, leaving only the detonator and a dozen kilograms of ** waiting for the explosion. He left the mansion the way he came, through the woods. Returning to the car he had parked on the main road, he relaxed and moved his limbs, and there was a clicking sound at the joints.
He then took off his mask, smiled confidently, and showed a pair of eyes that were anything but human. The terrifying red light in his eyes only flashed, and he put on his sunglasses again.
"Thank you, William. Now, I don't owe you anything. He muttered to himself, and then drove away from the neighborhood quickly. At this point, the countdown in the tunnel is 3 hours and 49 minutes. It was still late at night outside the mansion. But the dawn is not far off......
The next morning, Jill came to the police station's office as usual. She made herself a cup of strong coffee and leaned back on her desk in a daze. Even her partner calling her next to her didn't respond.
"Jill, Jill......" Chris shouted from the side, he had encountered this treatment several times in the past few days, and since the two of them were disarmed by Shen Chao that night and revealed the truth, Jill had become a little different. For example, staying in front of the phone every day, waiting for the person to call once in a few days.
As a man, Chris certainly understood what was going on, but he was helpless. After all, he also knew that a woman in this state was irrational.
These days, Shen Chao also called the two of them several times as agreed, on the one hand to inform them of the progress of the matter, and occasionally teased Jill on the phone. Although Chris was still very angry about Shen Chao's attack on the police that night. But he also knew that this was the only way to defeat Ambrera.
After all, looking at the current situation, Ambrera has already entered bankruptcy proceedings anyway. Perhaps in a few months, this former industrial giant will completely disappear from the face of the earth. This good news can also somewhat dispel some of the frustration that Chris got from Shen Chao.
"Jill, Jill, did you see the captain today?" Although he didn't want to disturb her, Chris reached out and patted Jill directly on the shoulder and asked.
"Captain? Jill looked at him puzzled.
"Did you see Wesker, I searched everywhere and didn't see him." Chris held a piece of paper in a helpless manner.
"I didn't see him, maybe he's late." Jill replied absent-mindedly.
"Late? He was always as punctual as a clock. Chris exaggerated. He has a strange clue in his hand and wants to ask Wesker's permission to investigate.
"What are you taking?" Jill asked, taking a sip of her coffee.
"A very strange clue, I received a call yesterday from my former best friend, who was a former employee of Ambrera, and he said that he was under house arrest by the company. During this time, the company's management was lax, and a large number of security personnel left, and he finally managed to escape...... "Chris, share his clues with Jill." …,
"Isn't it strange that there have been several similar incidents on the news this time? Jill doesn't see what's strange, as the momentum of Ambrera's downfall has become clearer, and news of many senior executives and scientists leaving the company has been reported. Ambrera is also being exposed more and more black materials. People are no stranger to such things.
"You don't understand, this old friend of mine was officially declared dead last year, and I went to his funeral. Chris whispered.
"What? Are you sure. So what did he say? Jill was a little incredulous.
"We met last night, and he said that Ambrera has a scientific research facility under the police station, and is still developing biological and chemical weapons, and that there have been some major breakthroughs in the past two months. Chris said cautiously, because if his friend hadn't lied, it meant that there must have been a lot of people in the police department who had been bribed by Ambrera.
"But we work here every day, so there's probably an underground tunnel here, right?" Jill said incredulously. Just then, there was a chaotic sound at the doorway downstairs. They and the rest of the S.T.A.R.S. team, along with the other police officers downstairs, ran downstairs to check on the situation.
At the door of the police station, more than a dozen policemen ran up, several of them still covered in blood. They ran and shot backwards. Behind them were several lickers she had seen in Shen Chao's video, some of them running on the ground, some crawling upstairs next to them, chasing the dozen or so policemen.
Seeing this, a group of S.T.A.R.S team members and other police officers also took out their guns and joined the battle. With dozens of well-stocked comrades joining the fight, the pressure on the dozen or so police officers was greatly reduced, and they engaged in a fierce battle with these lickers at the entrance of the police station.
Two minutes later, Jill trembled and replaced her pistol with a magazine. Then a few more shots were fired at the feet. At her feet was a dead licker. After they started fighting with the lickers, it was smooth at first, and the 3 or 4 lickers couldn't withstand the fire of dozens of policemen, and they were all knocked down by the concentrated fire of the police.
But just as the policemen thought they had won and rushed around to examine the body, a licker who was not dead suddenly burst out and hurt someone, and with its huge claws gave a powerful blow to an old police officer who had gone to examine its body. It tore open the cop's body with its claws, and was knocked to the ground by a barrage of other nearby cops.
Looking back at the old police officer, he was scratched in the abdomen by the claws of the licker, his intestines flowed to the ground, and a large piece of blood flowed on the ground in an instant, and he couldn't live now. Jill knew him, a retired veteran police officer who had always said that he would move to Los Angeles to live with his baby daughter, who was a doctor, when he retired. As a result, when he was about to retire in half a month, he died at the door of the police station.
At the same time, a similar situation occurred with several other lickers who fell to the ground, and on top of that, 2 more policemen were knocked down. Jill couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this. In a place where numbers are superior and the terrain is open, the ratio of casualties between the police and the lickers is even one to one! This is again a situation where the police have an absolute numerical advantage.
"He" on the video is not like this kind of monster. Jill thought in his head. She looked at the corpse on the ground for a moment, and waited for her to come to her senses. The previous patrolmen had already begun to tell their stories.
It turned out that they had heard a police car calling for help while they were on patrol just now. Several police cars rushed to the scene together, only to see a puddle of flesh and a few lickers who were biting at the corpses next to them, and a small number of zombies nearby. Since they had been bombed by news reports for a month, the policemen were not very surprised or frightened except for their anger and grief. …,
They concentrated their fire on several lickers. Many bullets hit their targets, but their weapons were not powerful enough to kill the lickers. And since the cops barely have any automatic weapons, they can't always shoot when the licker is moving quickly. After paying two casualties, the most senior officer in the team retreated with the officers who arrived at the scene.
The policeman, who wanted to retreat in a car, looked at the few lickers who jumped into the police car, and decisively abandoned the vehicle and ran all the way to the police station. Then he quickly ran back to the police station, and then he was at the place where the police were swarming to help.
"Do you have any wounded?" Chris asked one of the languid patrolmen.
"No, Sherman said they would turn into zombies, so let's leave them behind and run back. The patrolman said, pointing to the old officer who had been licked before, and who had been clawed by the previous one. At this time, the policeman next to him had already covered the old officer with a white cloth. Jill looked at the scene in front of him and felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, he pushed Chris away from him. Quickly run over to the corpse and push away the other mourning policemen. Jill even fired a gun warning the other police officers next to him not to approach the body.
"What are you doing, Jill?" Chris ran over and asked.
"He's already infected, and he could turn into a zombie at any moment." Chris, we need to tie him up here. Jill said as he pulled the shroud from the corpse's feet, revealing the corpse underneath.
The other police officers also woke up when they heard her words and immediately checked to see if they were injured. The vast majority of people were fine, except for a few who were overwhelmed by blood and didn't know if they would be infected.
