"What beautiful legs." Watching Ada's retreating figure, Shen Fei muttered to himself. Ada was the person who had left the deepest impression on him in the Resident Evil game series. As for the reason, everyone knew it in their hearts.
Unfortunately, given the current situation, Shen Fei had no energy to pay much attention to Ada. His life was on the line, so what was the point of looking at beautiful women? "To die beneath the peony blooms is to die a happy ghost" was just something men said to sweet-talk women.
"Sigh." Ada's appearance also made Shen Fei lose interest in going to the Police Station. Up to now, although Shen Fei seemed to have made many preparations, he had actually prepared nothing at all. Everything was merely in his imagination.
Restricted by his age, and with this city under Umbrella Corporation's control, he had no way to make any advance moves. He could only wait for the great upheaval to arrive and adapt to the situation.
"Wesker, you bastard." Inside the Mansion's underground research lab, Chris and Jill stared at Wesker before them, their expressions filled with fury.
They had never imagined that everything had been a conspiracy, and that their own Captain had been one of its masterminds.
Wesker was the Captain of Alpha Team within STARS. He was a captain respected by all his team members, including Chris, Jill, and even Rebecca.
Unfortunately, it had all been an act put on by Wesker.
"You're quite capable. Let me use you to test the power of this new biological weapon." As Wesker spoke, he opened the device containing the Tyrant nearby.
This had been the best moment to stop Wesker, but Chris and Jill still remembered their former friendship and did not shoot to stop him.
Pfft.
But what happened next went beyond Chris and Jill's expectations. The Tyrant directly stabbed Wesker to death with its claws.
The sight left Chris and Jill completely stunned.
"Run." Chris quickly came to his senses. He fired at the Tyrant while leading Jill toward the exit.
As the Tyrant hunted Chris and Jill, a groan suddenly echoed through the empty laboratory. Wesker, who had supposedly died, stood up again.
"It seems the plan succeeded. Heh heh heh heh." Clenching his powerful fist, Wesker removed his sunglasses and stared at his blood-red eyes as he let out a triumphant laugh.
It had to be said that Wesker's success was not without reason. To make the virus fully merge with his body and gain tremendous power, he had actually dared to gamble with his own life.
He had used death and resurrection to completely fuse with the virus's power.
Even Shen Fei, who possessed the abilities of the Op-Op Fruit, would not have dared to do that. One wrong move, and it would have meant real death.
But Wesker had won the gamble.
"Spencer, I'm ready." Hearing the alarms sounding around him, Wesker moved his feet and instantly appeared before the computer at the front of the laboratory. His speed was astonishing.
"Damn it." Seeing the access-denied message on the screen and hearing the alarms around him, Wesker had no choice but to leave the research lab in frustration and escape the Mansion, which was about to explode.
"Did something happen?" Watching helicopters in the distance fly into Raccoon City, Shen Fei could not help muttering quietly. Over the past few days, he had already seen helicopters several times.
"What did you say?" Inside the Police Chief's office, Chris furiously grabbed the Police Chief by the neck and pinned him against the wall.
The reason was simple. After Chris and the others returned to the Raccoon City Police Station, they immediately found the Police Chief and told him everything Umbrella Corporation had done. Yet the Police Chief claimed Chris was joking.
As for Chris's demand that Umbrella's High Command all be arrested, the Police Chief ignored it entirely.
It was not just the Police Chief. Even the other officers at the Police Station did not really believe Chris. Viruses, biological weapons—no matter how they looked at it, such things could not possibly have been done by Umbrella Corporation.
The Police Chief even demanded that Chris provide sufficient evidence to support his claims. Naturally, Chris could not, because all the evidence had already been destroyed.
Whether it was the location of the Training Facility provided by Rebecca or the Mansion's location, both had already become ruins.
Under such circumstances, Chris, Jill, and Rebecca, the last three survivors of the STARS team, had no choice but to leave the Police Station. If most of the officers had not spoken up for them, the Police Chief would have arrested all three.
"How did you handle this? Didn't I tell you to arrest those three?" After Chris and the other two left the Police Station, the Police Chief soon received a call.
"I had no choice. If I forcibly arrested him, it would arouse the suspicions of even more officers." Police Chief Brian wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke in a humble tone.
"But don't worry. No one will believe what they said." Brian continued.
"Hmph." The person on the other end snorted coldly and hung up.
"Sir, we've received intelligence that they contacted the military." Inside a secret underground base on the outskirts of Raccoon City, someone suddenly called out from a room filled with computers.
"Damn it. They must be eliminated. Deploy the Strike Team. We cannot let them live." The STARS unit had been established by the US Federal to deal with increasingly rampant terrorist activities and large-scale urban crime. Most of its members were elite personnel drawn from various departments.
For example, the police, the military, security companies, and so on.
Chris had once been an elite soldier in the military, and he had even served in the Air Force. Tired of war, he had left the military and joined STARS. Because of that, he still had contacts within the military.
Because its funding mainly came from sponsorships by major corporations, those corporations also had considerable influence over STARS.
This was a world ruled by capital. As long as you had enough capital, you could obtain the corresponding power. It was hardly surprising that a unit like STARS could be influenced by corporations.
Even prisons in this country could be privately operated. Because prisons were overcrowded, it was perfectly normal for prisoners to be released early.
Why could Stark keep his Iron Armor for himself? Was it not because he was the chairman of Stark Group, one of the people at the very top of this country?
Likewise, as one of the world's leading corporations, Umbrella Corporation naturally had its own private security forces: UBCS and USS.
That was, the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service and the Umbrella Security Service.
In a world dominated by capital, private security companies had naturally emerged as well. The most famous were Blackwater and Silver Sable.
Umbrella Corporation's private forces consisted of top mercenaries hired from around the world. Only after undergoing training at Umbrella Corporation's Training Facility and passing could they officially join. Their strength was naturally beyond question.
Umbrella's private forces were organized much like STARS, with Alpha Team, Beta Team, and other squads. Every member was an elite.
Because they were willing to use any means necessary, they were elites even more formidable than STARS.
"Yes. Beta Team will carry out this mission immediately." Someone promptly went to issue the order.
