The Research Base had been completely overrun by Redfield.
No one could withstand even a single exchange with him. Even the strongest agent had been easily killed.
After briefly reading a researcher's memories, Redfield knew the entire base inside out.
Only then did he realize how important this base was. After all, it was researching the Longevity Agent.
Of course, Red himself did not care. Having obtained the Vampire Fruit, he had already gained eternal life.
That did not mean he could not die, but there was practically no one on these seas who could kill him.
Still, Red had no intention of sparing these researchers. Even if they were defenseless, that did not change what they had done to his people.
He still had his reservations about Hades. Who could guarantee that he would not covet the Longevity Agent?
Especially with a force as vast as the Kronos Kingdom behind him.
So Redfield intended to leave nothing behind—not these researchers, not the research data inside the base, and not even the base itself.
But the most pressing matter was rescuing his people.
With no one left to stop him, Redfield ventured deeper into the base.
Even the sturdy doors could not withstand his terrifying destructive power.
At last, he found his people inside a secret chamber.
Their ankles and necks were shackled. They seemed to be in decent physical condition; after all, they had to be kept healthy for their blood to be drawn continuously.
But their eyes were vacant, as though they were dead. Only a few children were somewhat better. At the sudden disturbance, they looked at Redfield as he burst in, fear showing in their eyes.
Redfield had seen this familiar sight before.
At God Valley.
That was precisely why he felt a sense of duty.
