You must know that the current timeline is in 1996, and the reward given by Zero has greatly exceeded the market price.

Hank and the others made a mental calculation, and in the end they agreed that there was hardly anything in the "Ant Hive" Institute that was worth more than five million dollars.

If you compare it to the black market commissions issued by the underworld, the bounty price of a "T-virus" sample is even less than half of the cost of Zero's mission...

(PS: Both the U.B.C.S. and the U.S.S. troops are actually a group of outlaws who repeatedly jump sideways on the line of life and death, and they will more or less pay attention to the bounty price and the latest news in the underworld, and if they are bought by other organizations one day, they will not be slaughtered as fat pigs...) ）

Even if you take 10,000 steps back, protecting Zero's life is one of the contents of their mission, and it doesn't conflict with the bounty of up to 1 million!

After a long wait, the lights in the lab were finally back on, and after a few seconds, the surroundings were bright again.

"Gear up and move on!" After Hank checked the status and equipment of several people again, he gave an order, and the high-spirited team of four prepared to continue towards the target area!

"Captain, I've found something useful for you to see." As soon as Hank's words ended, Team Member B, who was operating the laptop computer, transmitted a set of data to everyone present for them to review.

"On this floor? Looks like we're going to have to get around. After reading the information, Hank thought for a moment and decided to change the direction of his travel, but Zero frowned secretly after seeing this information.

Let's rewind the clock a little bit and go back to the minute before the White Queen restarted...

In front of the metal gate of the "White Queen" switchboard at the bottom of the "Ant Nest" research institute.

At this time, six figures were leaning against the gate, shooting the zombies that kept rushing at them, and there were even a few lickers with their mouths wide open and roaring on the ceiling and walls!

The man at the head of the six-man squad had time to glance at the monitor of the portable computer on his arm in his spare time while shooting.

Just when there were less than twenty seconds left in the countdown on the radio, the metal door behind them suddenly opened with a soft "click"!

The men who were fighting in the heat of the battle immediately alternated to cover the fish, and only when the countdown was about to end did they narrowly close the metal door again, until the sturdy safety pin inside the door was firmly bolted, and the six of them breathed a sigh of relief.

These six people are the Delta team that came to the West African Research Institute to carry out the reconnaissance (clearing) and investigation (sweeping) task one day before the Alpha team, and they are also called the "wolf pack team" by the company's senior management because of their excellent strength and excellent performance!

After the six people entered the main room, they immediately dispersed to search for possible sources of danger, and after confirming that there was no danger in the surrounding environment, they reassembled and waited for the captain to give a new order.

"Rest in place, count your ammunition reserves, and get ready to continue the fight!" Calm, capable, the magnetic voice of a middle-aged woman came from the squad leader's gas mask.

She is the one who created the "Wolf Pack" team and served as the captain, the legendary figure of the U.S.S. unit - "Wolf Mother" Lupo!

After hearing this, the five members around them began to find a place to rest, even in a relatively safe environment, the weapons in their hands did not loosen, and their bodies were in a state of readiness to fight at any time.

"The air in the room is fine, you can replenish the food here." A female team member with Asian looks said to Ruper after glancing at the environmental detector in her hand.

However, Ruper looked around and reconfirmed the nearby environment before nodding to the female team member.

After a few seconds, everyone took off their gas masks, took food and energy drinks from their tactical backpacks, and began to eat in silence.

The internal area of the "White Queen" main computer room is not small, almost equivalent to a circular area of about 60 square meters and about 4 meters high.

Normally, the "White Queen" mainframe in the center of the room is hidden underground, only rising when the user needs to operate it, and there are two metal partition doors on the symmetrical walls that serve as entrances and exits to the room.

Ruper gave the order to recuperate and went straight to the center of the room, where she crouched down and seemed to be observing something on the ground.

After a few seconds, Ruper suddenly turned his head and shouted at one of the team members, "Victor! Come here! ”

A young man with an Asian face who was squatting sideways on the ground and nibbling on compressed biscuits immediately stuffed half of the food in his hand into his mouth when he heard this, and then he quickly came to Ruper's side and stared at his captain with a puzzled expression...

"Scout this area!" Ruper gestured to a small area in front of him, then stepped back two steps to remove his gas mask.

Victor is a scout of the "Wolf Pack" squad, with extremely strong detection ability and extraordinary fighting skills.

Ruper, who noticed that there seemed to be signs of an invasion inside the computer room but was unsure about it, immediately called the professional to come and help.

Victor, who had carefully checked the surroundings in less than a minute, came to Ruper's side, nodded at her, and then said, "There were indeed two people who stayed here for a short time just now, and the main floor where the 'White Queen' was hidden also had traces of being opened!" ”

As he spoke, Victor raised his hand and pointed to the metal door opposite the corner when they entered, and continued, "Judging by the footprints, the other party should have left through that door." ”

Ruper nodded and let Victor continue to rest, while she reached the center of the room and pressed her hand to the octagonal logo of the company "Raincoat" on the floor.

Seconds later, the Raincoat logo flashed twice on the floor, and a notebook-sized authentication device rose from the ground in front of her.

After entering a series of cumbersome authentication such as access password, fingerprint verification, iris recognition, etc., a "Allow access!" voice is issued from inside this authentication device. and then it resets.

Then, with a "click" of moving metal, the four pieces of the floor slowly slid away in front of Ruper, and a computer interface the size of a dresser gradually rose from the ground.

Looking at the "White Queen" in front of him who was restarting, although Ruper wanted to investigate, he was also powerless, and he could only wait for the supercomputer to be completely restarted before he could do anything.
