The Biohazard Fourth Platoon

July 24th, Night, Seaside Villa;

William, having just finished showering, lay on his bed.

His room was no longer garish like before; the pin-up posters had been torn down and thrown into the trash downstairs.

In their place were a clean floor, glass cabinets filled with books from various fields, and the latest model desktop computer from '06.

He had spent the entire afternoon today successfully selecting twenty people from the one hundred and twenty UBCS members to form the USS.

This was mainly because Andre had been too effective, making the one hundred and twenty recruits equally matched.

The moment the UBCS and USS were distinguished, the System informed William that the mission was complete.

However, he wanted to wait until he was alone to listen carefully, so he had put it off until now.

Staring at the ceiling, William said calmly in his mind, 'Alright System, tell me about the new permissions and rewards.'

[Received.

Detected that the Host has spent 256.8 million USD (remainder erased) within thirty-three days.

Remaining funds: [REDACTED] million USD.

As the Host has completed the mission, the funding cap has been expanded to 50 billion USD...

System Funds: 50 billion USD.

Host Available Funds: 500,000 USD monthly.]

'Wait!'

William sat up abruptly and asked the System, 'So... the previous funds won't carry over?'

[Yes, Host. Funds will reset, not increase.

Therefore, this System advises the Host to spend as much as possible before the reset.]

"Hmph~"

William shrugged and said self-deprecatingly, 'Normally, people should save money, but I have to spend like crazy. Fine.'

[Assimilation permission activated.

Host's current forces are UBCS and USS.

UBCS: 10,000 USD/person.

USS: 30,000 USD/person.]

'What does this assimilation mean?'

[Once an employee joins the UBCS or USS, the Host can spend System funds to assimilate that employee.

After assimilation, UBCS loyalty will permanently increase by fifteen, and combat power will permanently increase by fifteen.

UBCS will temporarily gain an additional five to ten combat power when dealing with humanoid creatures such as zombies, vampires, and ghouls.

After assimilation, USS loyalty will permanently remain at one hundred, and combat power will permanently increase by thirty.

USS members will, when dealing with all types of enemies, have their luck and combat effectiveness boosted depending on the situation, with no fixed value.

Furthermore, all USS members will completely obey the Host's commands, even if they are suicide orders, which will be executed immediately.

Note: Commands from the Host to kill the Host cannot be executed.

Detected Host's current employees:

UBCS: 100

USS: 20

Do you wish to proceed with assimilation?]

After hearing the System's explanation, William said without hesitation, 'Assimilate.'

[Received...

Deducting 1.3 million System funds...

Assimilation complete.

Host has four more chances to draw items or characters from the Resident Evil game series. Do you wish to draw?]

'Of course.'

[Received, drawing for the first time, please wait...

Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Tyrant Virus/Vaccine.]

As the System spoke, William saw two sealed spiral test tubes appear out of thin air on his bed.

He picked up the two test tubes; the left hand held a blue liquid, and the right hand held a green liquid.

Seeing this, William said with some confusion, 'Aren't these from the movie?'

[Reply to Host: The containers from the movie series have a classic design.]

As for its effects, they are no different from the game series, so please rest assured, host.]

'Alright.'

Hearing this, William carefully placed the two test tubes on the bedside table and said, 'Continue.'

[Received, conducting second draw, please wait...

Congratulations to the host for obtaining optical camouflage technology from Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.

This system has already implanted the design concept of this technology into Catherine Elizabeth Halsey's memory.]

"Not bad!" William couldn't help but exclaim.

It was the game he played in high school.

What was most memorable was Victor's 'stealth technology' from the Wolfpack.

With this, his USS forces would be able to carry out various covert operations.

[Conducting third draw, please wait...

Congratulations to the host for obtaining Hunk, the USS member codenamed Grim Reaper from the Resident Evil game series.

Selecting the highest-ranked USS combatant for modification...

Modification complete.

Grim Reaper Hunk;

Base Combat Power: 150.

Special Skill: Lone Survivor.

When facing extreme situations, luck will be greatly increased, and combat power will also increase by twenty.

When Hunk is the only one left in the team, luck will increase again, and combat power will increase by another twenty.

And this state will last until the mission ends.]

"Hunk... Hunk?" William's mouth slightly opened as he repeated the name of the character he drew.

He really wanted to shout out a certain streamer's famous line, "Wang Defa."

But he held back.

Because Hunk was too famous.

This Grim Reaper first appeared in the Fourth Survivor mode of the game Resident Evil 2.

William was very young when he played that game. He only remembered Hunk wearing a red-eyed octopus mask and a gas mask, along with a grayish combat uniform.

And he had never managed to beat the Fourth Survivor mode, neither the original nor the remake.

He was truly terrible at it.

If it weren't for the clear videos that became popular after the internet developed before his transmigration, William might never have seen the ending...

Getting back to the point.

Hunk was able to escape unharmed from the underground laboratory and police station filled with zombies, mutated spiders, zombie dogs, Lickers, and Tyrants.

This was not just a matter of luck, but a display of absolute strength.

The title 'Grim Reaper' was well-deserved.

[Conducting fourth draw, please wait...

Congratulations to the host for obtaining Umbrella's construction engineering team.

Implanted as Wang Zhaofeng's "Feiji Construction Company," now renamed "Umbrella Construction Company."

Special Skill: Rapid Construction.

Possesses absolute construction speed and quality, significantly shortening construction time.

Furthermore, any worker who joins the company will automatically have their loyalty increased to above eighty.]

"Oh ho!"

William felt incredibly fortunate. He had been worrying about confidentiality and construction issues before, and now a ready-made construction company had appeared.

Then, he could proceed to buy land all over Canada and build containment centers.

After all, there was less than half a year before the first anomaly would appear, and preparing its 'prison' in advance was the main objective.

As William was getting excited, the System spoke again:

[Since the host has completed two beginner missions, all system permissions have been unlocked.

After the first anomaly or phenomenon appears, this System will notify the host of its location.

Upon successful containment, this System will provide two draw opportunities.]

"Hmm..." William murmured and then asked:

'So, the system's funding limit is 50 billion?'

[That's correct, and it resets every one hundred and twenty days.

Note: Profits earned by the company will not be counted towards the system's funds.]
