November 1, 2011.

It was supposed to be a very ordinary day a year after the end of the world, but with the Umbrella Corporation arranging it, the day has become a special holiday for all Georgia survivors.

News of the harvest festival was widely spread and was received by almost all survivors living in Georgia, and in peacetime the day is known as Thanksgiving.

This may be the first major celebration for survivors after the apocalypse, during which every employee at Umbrella will receive two days off from work, in addition to the necessary security guards and patrols.

During the festival, in addition to all the drinks and food in the base are provided for free, you can also participate in a variety of interesting entertainment competitions hosted by the government, the prizes are not only contribution points, brand-name cars, high-end luxury goods, all kinds of powerful firearms, and Lyon even took out a private helicopter as the first prize of the event.

Moreover, this festival is not limited to the Umbrella Company, as long as you are a human survivor, as long as you are a person with good intentions, after handing in your weapons and registering, you can join in the carnival of the celebration.

Who can not love something free, Lyon's propaganda brought a large number of foreign survivors, according to the statistics of those involved, at least 5,000 survivors, who participated in the celebration.

On this day, the school also had a three-day holiday, and 10-year-old Carl carried his sister Judith, who had not yet been weaned, to accompany his father Rick to participate in the festival.

It's a pity that her mother Lori's eyes can't see, and it's not safe to stay at home in such a crowded place, otherwise, Rick's family will be able to enjoy a rare family fun.

With this in mind, Carl Jr. was taken to the place where the celebration was held by his father Rick.

This is the largest park in the base, the terrain is flat, there are gardens, there are fountains, and there is a huge performance stage, after the professional dress-up, balloons, streamers, flower baskets, everywhere is full of laughter crowds, the elderly and children happily gather together, laughter, frolic, from time to time there are pleasant songs from nowhere, at a glance, full of festive atmosphere.

The moment he entered, Carl fell in love with it, and he pulled Rick left to take a look around, and in a few moments his arms were filled with all kinds of delicious snacks, with a delicious chocolate in his mouth, and the smile on his face almost never stopped.

At this moment, a rough voice came from the side.

"Hey, Captain Rick, you're here too."

With this shout, a strong black man with a height of more than two meters walked over, holding a large bucket of popcorn in his hand, a large box of fried chicken on the popcorn, and a bottle of iced Coke in his right hand, with a smile and a simple face, like a huge chimpanzee.

Rick turned to see him, and with an affectionate smile on his face, he hugged the black man.

"Hey, O'Neal, you're here too."

"Did you start eating so quickly?"

O'Neill took one sip of the Coke in his right hand, threw the bottle into the trash can on the side, walked over to Carl, touched his head with a smile, took out the largest piece of his fried chicken and handed it to Carl, and smiled at Rick:

"What a couple of lovely little kids, and you have a happy family, Captain Rick."

"You're a brave man, O'Neill, and you'll soon have a virtuous wife."

Karl looked at his father's face, and seeing that he did not refuse, he happily took the delicious fried chicken and ate it.

Later, when he was hanging out with his father, he ran into some of his father's acquaintances, who were said to be members of his team, including Abraham, a strong white man like a bear, and a pair of black siblings who looked tough, Tersi and Sasha.

However, the girl named Sasha just said hello to everyone and left the team, and she heard that the female team members also made an appointment to go to the festival together.

A few strong men took Carl Jr. and Judith to participate in several games together, including shooting, weightlifting, and games like parkour to test their flexibility, and with the strength of these strong men around them, they had a lot of fun along the way and won a lot of prizes.

When it was time to play until lunch, a strong black man named Tercy suddenly realized something, turned his head and asked Rick:

"What about that guy Sean, why didn't you see him?"

Rick was a little emotional when he heard this, and a sincere smile appeared on his face, and he said:

"Sean went on a solo date with her girlfriend, and you should all know that person."

Seeing that everyone showed interested expressions, Rick did not sell it, but also said with a smile of surprise:

"It's Ms. Andrea, the leader of the personnel team, I don't know when, the two of them became in a relationship."

Although the crowd was a little surprised, they were not familiar with Andrea, but they had only vaguely heard that he was the sister of Miss Amy, the assistant to the big boss Mr. Custer.

Everyone chatted and hung out, everyone had a good time, and there was a lot of food today, and many of the foods that used to cost a lot of contribution points to buy are now free.

Carl even heard the nagging of the uncles and aunts passing by, and on the last day of the celebration, a large amount of alcohol and food would even be donated to everyone for free, but the shelf life of these foods was not long, and it was not suitable for large quantities of storage.

While strolling to a stall selling trinkets, Carl suddenly bumped into his classmates, Sophia and Claymanting, holding hands, picking out various accessories next to the jewelry store.

The two little girls also seemed to be very happy, with innocent and bright smiles on their cute faces.

Teacher Carol and Teacher Li were staying not far from the two girls, with an intimate attitude, as if they were chatting about something.

Carl handed his sister to his father, Rick, and was about to go up to say hello to Sophia and Claymanting.

As soon as he stepped out, he suddenly accidentally bumped into a strange survivor, and the survivor didn't seem to notice the short child, and instantly lost his balance and knocked Carl over.

In a hurry, Karl reached out to grab something, and couldn't help but reach into the arms of the survivor in front of him, and when he fell to the ground, there was somehow a silver-white metal jar in his hand.

The jar has a silvery-white metal round head at both ends, and a transparent glass cylinder is connected to the middle, through which you can see the fluorescent purple solution in the jar.

The funniest thing is that there is also a hideous skull painted in red paint on the transparent glass cylinder, and the English letters "AZ-018 Poison Gas" are written in English underneath.

Rick and the others were about to help Carl up, when they suddenly saw the jar, the scene seemed to be quiet for a moment, and the strange survivor seemed to get up from the ground unconsciously, showing an ordinary but kind smile to Rick and the others, and said:

"This is the prank prop I bought for my son, it's his birthday, and he likes this kind of gift the most."

After saying that, he wanted to reach out and take back the silver jar in Carl's arms, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was blocked by Rick beside Carl.

Just as Rick was about to ask something, he suddenly saw the strange survivor begin to convulse and foam at the mouth, and only a few seconds later, he fell to the ground trembling all over.

Behind him, Carol was holding a large electric stunner back from his neck, and in the face of Rick's somewhat puzzled eyes, Carol reached behind the waist of the survivor lying on the ground, and unexpectedly reached for a black pistol.

You must know that in this harvest festival celebration, except for those soldiers who participated in the defense mission and patrol mission, basically everyone was not allowed to carry firearms, and this article alone was enough to arrest this strange survivor.

Linked to the silver metal canister with the word poison gas that Carl had accidentally taken out of his arms, Rick suddenly felt that this matter was not so simple.

However, he was a professional worker with more than 10 years of experience as a county policeman, and he guessed that this person might still have accomplices, so it was not appropriate to make a noise and expand the situation, so he whispered to his companions around him:

"Abraham, you disguise this guy as a drunken survivor and take him to the strongholds around us for Colonel William to interrogate him."

"Carol, please take the children to a safe place, and don't alarm the people around you for a while."

With that, Rick said to the rest of the people:

"You just disperse, hide in the crowd, watch carefully, if there are still accomplices of this guy, be careful, don't expose yourself, startle the snake, everyone contact by radio."

"I'll go and inform Mr. Custer and Vice Captain Jasmine, the specific plan, and listen to Mr. Custer's arrangement."

A few minutes later, Leon was backstage preparing a speech for the harvest celebration when he suddenly received a radio communication from Rick, and after listening carefully to his message, his face, which was still smiling, immediately became gloomy.

Leon thought about it for a while, and he didn't think that at this time, there was any other organization with such great energy that would secretly stumble on him and want to deal with the umbrella company.

However, no matter who the enemy is, it is in vain to think about it now, and the most important thing at the moment is how to prevent the poison gas from breaking out among the survivors, and find those who are hiding among the people.

Thinking of this, he turned to Avril who was following him and asked:

"Avril, as planned, how long before I go on stage?"

When Avril heard this, she lowered her head and took out a delicate pocket watch from her suit pocket, looked at the time, and said:

"Mr. Custer, according to the original plan, you probably have half an hour left to speak on stage."

Leon looked into Avril's eyes and said:

"I have urgent business to do now, and I can delay my speech on stage, but don't make it too obvious, can I do it?"

Avril's eyes flashed, and she nodded at Leon and said:

"No problem, Mr. Custer, is there anything else I can help with?"

"No, you just have to do it now."

Walking out of his own lounge, Leon took off his conspicuous high-end suit, found a tall employee in charge of cleaning, changed the clothes of the two, and quietly rushed to Professor Marlock's research center as fast as possible.

When he arrived in the hall of the research center, he saw Colonel William ripping the fingernails of a middle-aged man with a vice.

The middle-aged man was kidnapped on a wooden chair with many bruises from beatings, his mouth was taped shut, and he couldn't make any sound.

At this time, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, the exposed muscles on his body were protruding, and the expression on his face was very distorted, and he was struggling desperately.

Seeing Leon enter the experimental center, Colonel William immediately greeted him with a serious face and respectfully saluted him.

Leon waved his hand and hurriedly asked:

"Colonel, did you ask for any information?"

William shook his head a little ashamedly, and said:

"I'm sorry, General, this guy is a hard-boned, professional spy, trained in anti-interrogation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break his will by physical pain alone."

"If you can give me a day or two, I can get him to speak by other means, but according to Captain Rick, it should be too late."

Leon heard that it was a professional spy, and suddenly had a toothache, he thought about it, and suddenly thought of a thing that often appears in film and television dramas, so he asked:

"Is it okay to use a truth potion?"

Colonel William hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:

"It may work, but professional spies are generally trained to fight truth-spitting, so they may not get accurate information, and besides, there doesn't seem to be any truth-spitting agent available in our pharmacy."

Leon's expression froze slightly, and just as he was thinking about how to get information from the captive, Professor Mallock walked out with a report with a solemn face.

He saw Leon in the hall and immediately exclaimed:

"Mr. Custer, you must find the spies lurking in the crowd as soon as possible."

"The poison gas they carry is so dangerous that you can't imagine what's in it."

Leon grabbed Professor Mallock's shoulder with some anxiety and asked:

"It's all this time, Professor Marlock, you don't want to sell it, what's in the jar?"

Professor Marlock grinned at Leon's strength, but he spoke anyway:

"This jar contains a highly concentrated zombie virus, and it's a mutated variant of radiation."

"Once this poison gas is inhaled, the average person will die within 30 minutes and be transformed into a zombie."

"This poison gas spreads very quickly in the air, and judging from the capacity of this gas canister, it should be able to infect all humans within 300 meters at once within ten seconds of the gas canister being broken."

Professor Marlock pushed the glasses on his nose and said in a serious tone:

"However, this mutated poison gas also has a drawback, as long as they are exposed to the air and do not enter the living organism, they will die quickly within a few minutes."

Hearing the power of this poisonous gas, Leon immediately wanted to punch himself a few times, it was precisely because they held this harvest festival celebration that the population in the base was so dense now.

It is conceivable that once seven or eight cans of poison gas erupt in the crowd, in an instant, there will probably not be many people left in the organization that he has spent nearly a year and a half hard to establish.

Thinking of this, his eyes were a little red and he stared at the spy who had been tortured but silent, eager to dig out his brain directly to see what information was inside.

After thinking about it, he asked Professor Marlock with a hint of anticipation:

"Professor Marlock, I want to know some information about this man's brain now, but he is a professional spy, ordinary methods are useless to him, I don't know if you can help us."

Hearing the big boss's question, Ma Luo suddenly fell into a tangle, and held it for nearly a minute before he spoke:

"I have an idea, but it's not guaranteed to succeed, and once I use my method, it will take ten minutes at most, and the person will become a fool."

He looked at Leon with some confusion, not wanting to be punished by the boss after the failure of the matter, but this matter is indeed related to the safety of the entire organization, if you don't try once, you may regret it later.

"Do you want to give it a try? Mr. Custer. ”

Leon turned to Colonel William and asked:

"Colonel, do you have any other solution?"

Colonel William shook his head solemnly and said:

"It's hard for us to get information from a professional spy in a short period of time, and if time is enough, I have a chance to break their will."

Leon took a breath of disappointment, turned to Professor Marlock, and asked:

"Professor Marlock, what's your solution?"

Professor Mallock nudged his black eyes again and said:

"I have extracted a high concentration of stimulant from those seaweed-like plants you taught me, as long as it is injected, the human brain function will be destroyed, and the human brain will be in a state of numbness, and the thinking pattern is very simple."

"If it is combined with the truth elixir, it will basically be answered every question, and it is the most impressive answer in my heart."

Leon didn't seem to understand, but he said with some disappointment:

"We don't have truth vomiting in our pharmacy."

Professor Mallock smiled and said:

"It's very easy to make, I have a lot of them here, and I used it a lot when I was remodeling Tom before."

Without further ado, time was pressing, and Leon did not hesitate and immediately used Professor Marlock's method on the middle-aged man.

Fortunately, this method is very effective, after injecting two drugs, this middle-aged man no longer has the same calm and silent temperament as before, and has become a character with saliva, snot, rolling eyes, and like a fool with mental retardation.

Leon was a little apprehensive in his heart, but he still asked:

"What's your name and what organization do you belong to?"

The middle-aged man's eyes rolled when he heard this, his lips opened and closed a few times, and finally he stammered:

"I don't have a name, my code name is D0732, and I belong to the North American branch of Freemasonry."

Leon frowned when he heard the code name D0732, just from this one code name sequence, he could analyze a lot of information, and the power behind these information.

And the name of Freemasonry, although he is not enough to understand this organization at the level of human beings in his two lives, but in various film and television works and anime, the frequency of this mysterious organization is very high.

No one can say exactly what this organization is, but I have heard that this organization believes in prophecy, the end times, and religion, but if you look closely, you can't say why.

But what is certain is that this organization seems to have a strong power in all worlds, and some say that the logo of this organization is printed on the dollar, which is used all over the world.

Leon felt it suddenly, and a pressure pressed on his shoulder.
