The so-called betrayal before was merely Ada and Kevin discussing and formulating action plans using veiled language.

Fortunately, the two had finally exchanged coded messages during their tentative cross-server chat, and their ideas for action were somewhat in sync.

After some haggling, the commander had no choice but to personally take the risk and control the standby Alice.

Finally, the female agent Ada seized the opportunity, took aim at the spot Kevin indicated with the electromagnetic interference gun, and pulled the trigger, destroying the electronic components within.

Everything went surprisingly smoothly. The two conspirators, having lowered everyone's guard, succeeded with ease.

"Bastard!"

Dr. Isaacs, realizing he had been tricked, lost his composure and immediately grabbed the remote device on the metal table, preparing to activate the guardian of Eden.

However, it was too late!

Alice's skin at the back of her neck grew hot and flushed crimson. Then, stimulated by the strong electromagnetic interference, the electronic components embedded in her cervical spine were all burned out.

The "doll" with vacant eyes instantly collapsed into Kevin's arms, unconscious.

The others, snapping back to reality, excitedly got to their feet. Just as they were preparing to capture the culprit, Dr. Isaacs, and seize the concentrated antidote, a new development occurred.

Six members of the Ghost Unit, wearing octopus-faced respirators and black combat suits, poured out from a hidden door behind the control room, occupied the high ground, and suppressed the entire scene.

"Thank you all for saving us a lot of time. Unfortunately, the party ends now..."

Wolf Mom Ruper sneered at everyone present, declaring their final victory.

Under Kevin's leadership, the people in the hall wisely raised their hands in surrender, showing no aggressive behavior, as docile as a flock of sheep.

"Get lost! You sewer rats, don't touch my things! Let those people talk to me!"

Dr. Isaacs, his face grim as he looked at the hidden door that appeared in the control room, tightly clutched his last resort.

Clearly, he was not fully trusted by the Umbrella Corporation's higher-ups. Those capitalists were always wary of their own kind who were skilled in infighting.

However, Dr. Isaacs, with his arrogant tone, had forgotten a crucial element.

He lacked the armed force by his side to guarantee his negotiations, and the guardian of Eden had already been paralyzed...

Thus, the cold-faced commander of the Ghost Unit casually shot Dr. Isaacs through the skull and easily took the concentrated antidote from his grasp.

Watching Dr. Isaacs' shocked, uncomprehending expression, Kevin felt a chill run down his spine and exchanged glances with his teammates.

These guys probably weren't here to rescue them or uncover the truth...

They were here to silence them!

ps: I personally think the protagonist and Ada make a great couple. Neither of them are good birds, right? Wink

Section 44 Chapter 42 Dr. Isaacs, what a good person!

"Prepare for concealment!" The commander's subtle tactical hand signals were secretly passed to the group, who felt a chill creeping into their hearts.

As these executioners skillfully copied data and destroyed evidence, the Black commander James, ignoring Kevin's gaze, stood up to inquire.

"Is the company planning to dispose of us all?"

Even in death, he didn't want to die without understanding. Some things ultimately needed to be clarified.

The commander of the Ghost Unit smiled, shrugged, casually picked up the remaining half bottle of red wine on the metal table, poured it into another cup, and raised his glass to James.

"No, no... the higher-ups aren't that heartless. You died in the line of duty for Umbrella, and your direct family will receive a large sum of compensation."

The three surviving members of the Umbrella Squad's faces immediately turned grim. Although Kevin had persuaded them, a sliver of hope still remained in their hearts.

"Alright, send our dear colleagues on their way. Remember to be gentle..."

Under the commander's orders, Victor, the scout from the Wolf Pack, and "Four Eyes," the virus collection expert, stepped forward with M4 carbines.

"Wait, I suggest you take a look at Dr. Isaacs. He might still be salvageable."

Kevin raised his hand helplessly, his gaze drifting to the corpse still warm in front of the console.

"Don't try to stall for time. It's time to visit hell..."

Just as Wolf Mom Ruper disdainfully dismissed Kevin's clumsy delaying tactic, Bertha, the medical rescue personnel, suddenly exclaimed from behind her.

"Captain... he... he's moving!"

The six members of the Wolf Pack scattered around immediately stopped what they were doing and turned to stare blankly at Dr. Isaacs, whose head wound had healed, struggling to get up from the floor.

As expected of a schemer! I underestimated him...

Seizing the opportunity, Kevin led his team to take cover behind nearby obstacles. He looked at the empty double-helix glass tube under the console and the wine glass Dr. Isaacs had used, feeling a sense of emotion.

Although this guy cherished his life, when it came to making a decision, he could be ruthless even to himself. He was definitely a heroic figure.

Kevin hadn't expected him to mix the Modified T-Virus and the new neutralizer into the wine and drink it beforehand.

This way, no matter the outcome, Dr. Isaacs would have a final safeguard for himself.

It was obvious he had gambled correctly!

Now, it was time for this heroic figure to return from the dead and exact his revenge!

He couldn't forget to benefit the masses even in death. Dr. Isaacs, what a good person...

Someone smacked his lips, trying to squeeze out a few crocodile tears, but ultimately failed.

"Not right! Open fire!"

Wolves are naturally cunning and sensitive, possessing an extraordinary perception of danger.

Therefore, at Wolf Mom Ruper's command, the six members turned their guns, aiming at Dr. Isaacs' head and torso, and opened fire collectively.

Under the barrage of submachine gun fire, Dr. Isaacs, who had struggled to sit up, had his head riddled like a beehive, and his body trembled and swayed from the impact of the bullets.

At this moment, in the control room on the second floor, blood and shattered bone splattered everywhere. The entity known as "Dr. Isaacs" was barely recognizable as human.

However, what was even more horrifying was that less than ten seconds after the wolf pack squad ceased firing, the mass of shredded meat began to writhe and grow.

"Blow this ghost thing up!"

Demolitions expert Beltway, hearing this, immediately threw the adjusted C4 onto the writhing mass of minced meat and detonated it from a distance.

But in just a moment, the strange thing before them began to grow again.

Moreover, even with concentrated fire, the speed at which bullets destroyed it couldn't keep up with its healing speed!

Soon, the bloody and mangled mass transformed into a monster with long, narrow arms and ten fingers that became sharp beast claws.

Not only had it lost its basic human form, but a large eyeball had also squeezed out of its right shoulder, compound eyes began to appear on its chest, and its entire skin turned black and swollen.

"Initiate the Hive self-destruct sequence, evacuate quickly!"

Seeing this, Wolf Mom Ruper made a decisive move, preparing to lead her team to escape through the emergency lift shaft and bury this complete monster with the self-destruct device.

This was because it was no longer something that ordinary weapons could handle.

"Dr. Isaacs! These people killed you! What are you waiting for, get revenge!"

At this moment, Kevin, who had temporarily taken cover behind a barrier, saw the wolf pack squad preparing to flee immediately, burying them along with the mutated Dr. Isaacs in the Hive, and immediately incited them.

Due to severe head trauma, even though Isaacs had mutated and resurrected, his intelligence was clearly not functioning.

Helplessly, Kevin could only place his hopes on his instigation to awaken Dr. Isaacs' instinctive hatred.

"Bang!" The mutated Dr. Isaacs, with astonishing leaping power, arrived first and blocked the path to the emergency elevator, his ferocious gaze fixed on the wolf pack squad.

Seeing the unexpected complication, Wolf Mom Ruper harbored great resentment and immediately ordered "Ghost" and "Four Eyes" with a cold face.

"Deal with them first!"

Since they want to drag us down with them, let's send these bastards to hell first! Dense bullets continuously bombarded the occupants' hiding spot.

However, having followed dangerous individuals like Leon and Kevin for a long time, these teammates had transformed and sublimated.

They might not be the most skilled fighters, but they were definitely the ones with the keenest sense of danger.

Therefore, as soon as Kevin finished speaking, they calmly found cover and retreated into the blind spots of the firing range.

Even the slowest to react and most psychologically fragile computer expert, Kaplan, cleverly hid behind Kevin, not daring to show himself.

"Roar!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

At the same time, Dr. Isaacs, suffering from brain damage, driven by instinct and hatred, lunged towards the wolf pack squad.

Under the tight barrage of fire, Dr. Isaacs actually held his two-meter-long right arm in front of him, and the submachine gun bullets couldn't completely penetrate it.

"Scatter!"

Seeing that concentrated fire was ineffective, and without even needing Captain Wolf Mom's orders, the alert team members scattered in all directions to avoid being wiped out by this thing.

Of course, when wolves hunt in packs, high-mobility harassment and mutual cooperation are the tactical soul of this unit.

Therefore, even in a dispersed retreat that resembled an escape, they did not forget to cooperate and counterattack.

For a time, the bombs thrown by demolitions expert Beltway, the strange injections fired by virologist "Four Eyes," the surgical knives thrown by medic Bertha, and the combined efforts of the other team members' various weapons kept the mutated Dr. Isaacs busy.

While the wolf pack squad and Dr. Isaacs were locked in a life-or-death struggle, Kevin leaned against the cover, panting heavily, his forehead slightly hot.

"The T-Virus in him is about to act up..."

Ada noticed that the commander's face was flushed, and several blisters had appeared on the back of his neck. Her words carried a hint of helplessness.

"Damn it! There must be a T-Virus neutralizer or an antidote upstairs!"

The anxious policewoman snatched Barry's handgun from her teammate and immediately prepared to rush into the control room to search for medicine under the noses of both warring factions.

However, before Kevin could stop her, Ada pulled back Jill, who had poked her head out. Then, a tube of green liquid was tossed into the policewoman's hand.

"Don't forget, you owe me a favor..."

The female spy's lips curved slightly, her smile alluring.

The commander nodded perfunctorily. He hadn't expected this last tube of antidote to end up back with him after all the twists and turns.

However, Ada, facing Kevin's response, charmingly rolled her eyes and pointed her fair index finger at Jill.

"I'm afraid I can't accept your favor; she's the one who has to repay it..."

"Okay!" Jill injected the antidote into the commander's vein without hesitation, readily agreeing to Ada's request.

At this moment, Kevin read Ada's words from her moving lips, and his face darkened.

"Darling, you're welcome..."

Clearly, this cunning vixen knew she wouldn't get any reliable promises from her own kind, so she shifted her focus to the female officer, Jill.

The commander thought resentfully, his wariness of Ada's sly intelligence growing.

Unfortunately, some clueless fellow probably didn't realize there was such a thing as a helpful "assist."

Section 45 Chapter 43 Teammates Must Die! (Seeking recommendations, favorites, monthly passes, critiques, etc.)

During the rare moment of respite, everyone briefly bandaged their wounds. Afterward, their attention was once again drawn to the two sides fighting on the second floor.

At this time, the mutated Dr. Isaacs looked even stranger. The bone growths extending from his shoulders, covered by membrane, formed wing-like structures.

From the two pairs of compound eyes on his abdomen, a fishy yellow liquid flowed. His limbs had extended into sharp claws, and his physique had doubled in size.
