Chapter 33 ·Seventh Night
One day passed.
And what follows is a new day and a newer day.
The situation in Raccoon City is still deteriorating in the eyes of ordinary people. It is different from the original world line because of the indirect influence and interference of the reincarnations. Before reaching the ground zero, a large portion of Raccoon City citizens had already fled the city. And the news that could have been suppressed by Umbrella also spread in the surrounding towns. Even if the American authorities were blind led by a group of deaf people, they should have been aware of the changes in the city.
They must have known.
But they choose to pretend they don’t know.
Although the people of America have freedom of speech, they also have the freedom to commit suicide. As for the world view of Resident Evil, which is mainly based on movie settings, Umbrella's forces are deeply rooted in the entire territory, have abundant funds, and are also a behemoth of the super-transnational Concern... It is really difficult to be like in the game settings. It was forcibly divided and erased because of a mere crisis in Raccoon City.
They can't.
But they may not want to do it.
Outside of Raccoon City, Kasumi learned a lot of information by hacking into Umbrella's relatively primitive network system of this era - she knew that there were military mobilizations in many areas outside of Raccoon City. . America's stock market is also beating up and down strangely like the electrocardiogram of an epileptic patient. In addition, various personnel changes, political turmoil, and even global diplomatic conflicts are emerging in endlessly.
This means a conflict, a war, a disaster, and a huge storm that, combined with the subsequent plot, will inevitably sweep across the entire Resident Evil world. At this moment, Raccoon City is the calmest eye of the storm.
How many forces are watching Raccoon City? --have no idea.
How many forces are trying to destroy Umbrella? ——Countless.
Huge creatures are always an eyesore, and there are always ambitious guys waiting to enjoy them. However, they were destined to suffer painful failure because they did not expect that Umbrella would be so crazy as to destroy and reshape the human world. I don’t even know that Umbrella can really do that.
Umbrella really has irresistible weapons of super-mass destruction in his hands, and has used them unscrupulously. Even if Raccoon City has not yet reached the ground zero, it has already been leaked into nature and created a T that does not know many types of derivatives. It is destined to make the world run in the direction of overthrowing and starting over.
The Samsaras have done a lot, but in fact, the members of the Central Continent team who are still in a weak growth stage have not really changed anything. There may be some people who should have died because of this, but it should be useless for the overall situation.
Should it be useless...?
……………………
"There is something wrong inside Umbrella. I received intelligence that there was a small-scale, but high-intensity firefight in the original hive - that is, the area where the mansion is disguised outside. There are very few people who know about it, and Umbrella Ra's control over Raccoon City also declined during the same period of time - I don't know if this is the Lord God's independent adjustment of the plot. But if nothing else happens, when the tenth day is over, the situation in Raccoon City should It starts off pretty much the same as the second movie.”
On the afternoon of the seventh day, the reincarnators had cleared several dangerous gathering places before that. Garbage dumps, power stations, water purification plants... these areas should all have a role in the Resident Evil game. There are many powerful mutant creatures with different specifications, but they can barely be regarded as regional bosses. Unfortunately, the reincarnators basically only encountered some ordinary biological monsters there that were not much of a threat.
Zombies, mutated zombies, young lickers - these are the things that reincarnators encounter. It doesn't take much effort to deal with them, and of course, there won't be much gain.
So, at the approaching dusk of the seventh night. An action meeting was temporarily held in the stronghold.
"Dr. Kane is still in his residence, and little Angela is still in school. However, there have been several confrontation-type battles near the area where they are. Obviously, whether Alexia exists or not, we can It is determined that Umbrella's current internal personnel issues are related to the Ashfords. This means that if we try to get close to those two areas, we will be involved in the internal changes of this giant company."
Jiang Yu said as he drew the distribution of power on the map on the wall of the stronghold. Of course, this information was secretly gathered by Xia during the rest time of the reincarnations. And Kasumi's credit was his credit, so he took them all for his own use without any scruples.
He drew a circle on the church next to the stronghold, and another circle on the Umbrella Research Center. Next was the slightly distant Ashford Villa and the area where Raccoon City Middle School is located. He placed two huge crosses at the corresponding locations on the map.
Umbrella's control over Raccoon City has indeed declined. The decline is because they have used their new strength to accumulate the two coordinate points of the confrontation, so that other places have been relatively ignored. Even the originally heavily guarded Raccoon City Research Center had its security strength reduced due to the redeployment.
"We have nowhere to go." Jiang Yu clicked on the two circles. "In the next three days, we can only go to the church and try to get the branch line of the priest's family. Then before the last day comes, we go to the research center in Raccoon City to get the items we want or solve the triggered branch line. mission. And keep fighting after that until we can leave this world."
This is a commonplace argument. Others have nothing special to say about this overall arrangement. Therefore, the next thing to talk about is the corresponding details.
"So..." Zheng Zha frowned first. "We're going to deal with the church today. And then before the deadline on the tenth day comes... we just wait?"
"I personally think this is better. But my opinion may be one-sided." Jiang Yu spread his hands and asked, "That's why we have this small meeting. It determines our next action strategy."
"Maybe we really can only do this." Zhan Lan said, she looked at what Xia had found out. There is information about armed forces currently entrenched near Ashford Mansion and Raccoon City Middle School. "The fact that Dr. Kane and his daughter are here means that the forces behind them are at a disadvantage. And the two are separated, but they are only under house arrest, which means that the party with the advantage does not intend to completely break up...
...The righteousness within Umbrella has not collapsed yet, and it is still only fought but not broken. And this means that if we really launch an attack on the research center, as long as the time is not right enough, we are sure that it will inevitably become a compromise window to ease their internal struggles. "
"The planned attack on the ninth night...may not be feasible. We may have to postpone it until the tenth day, close to the time of return, before we can go into battle."
Returning to the world of past reincarnations is different from returning to the 'real world'. The former does not have as stringent confidentiality requirements as the latter, but it still requires returning to the main god's space in a limited area. Coming from the stronghold means having to turn back from the stronghold. And if the Samsaras are attacked by a large group of pursuers with heavy firepower when they attack the Umbrella Research Center and are still some distance away from the return node, they will escape back to their stronghold and hold on until the end... will Very painful.
But there's a problem.
"The plot of Alice's awakening started on the afternoon of the tenth day, and before that, she must have been asleep for a while. If we are really stuck at the last time, then the other party's research may have been completed. We Even if we obtain side plots through hard battles, we still can’t get the goal we want.”
Silence, everyone is considering and thinking.
"Perhaps...we can consider giving up this battle?" Zhang Jie, whose sense of presence had been at a low level, finally couldn't help but said: "We have already made a lot of gains and gained enough training. And we When we first planned to attack the Raccoon City Research Center, wasn't Umbrella's security here different from what it is now? We can come back to get the original T solution next time, instead of getting it from somewhere else. But taking the risk of taking chestnuts from the fire... I don't think it's necessary .”
He is indeed qualified to say that.
Because Jiang Yu promoted this return to Biohazard under the guise of helping Zhang Jie to replenish the T stock solution that he alone lacked. And if he insists on refusing, then it is indeed not necessary to carry out this round of actions.
Jiang Yu didn't speak, and neither did Zheng Zha. Zhan Lan pursed her lips, Mou Gang had always been reticent and silent.
There was another round of silence...and this time the silence lasted for ten seconds longer than the previous one.
"Let's put this topic aside for now." Jiang Yu finally made the decision. "It's going to be night soon. Next, let's get rid of the church priest's branch line first."
He said. His proposal was not refuted by anyone.
There was still some time before night, and soon the reincarnators separated and went to their respective areas, using their own methods to prepare for the night battle.
Jiang Yu came to the top of the rooftop. He wanted to get some air because he felt a little stuffy down there. The current Central Continent team really has no reason to take risks at the Umbrella Research Center. After all, the Lord God did not issue mandatory tasks, and although the previous battles had sharpened the skills of the reincarnations, they also made them aware of their own weaknesses.
——But if you don’t push yourself...how can you grow?
Jiang Yu thought, feeling the wind flowing outside Kashejin's armor. He felt that he could still work harder, he just needed some suitable words...
A message suddenly appeared on the tactical terminal built into the helmet. The famous one is Zheng Zha. Text message, not voice.
Zheng Zha: [Jiang Yu, is it convenient to say something now? The more personal kind. 】
Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows and remained calm. He just made a slight gesture, and Kasumi quietly appeared in a position where he could have an overview of the surrounding area, and then gave him a sure signal with his eyes.
Jiang Yu: [Convenient, there is no one near me. 】
Zheng Zha: [Do you feel... Zhang Jie is a little strange? 】
Jiang Yu's fingers shook slightly.
strangeness? Ha, this person cannot be described as strange. He is a semi-leader, and in the current world of reincarnation, he is probably the strongest in combat power.
Jiang Yu: [Are you referring to Brother Zhang Jie’s proposal just now? Well...it is indeed a bit conservative, but from the perspective of the overall interests of the team, it is not incomprehensible. 】
He thought that he felt that the secret in his heart was far from being exposed. So what if it's exposed? Even if he had a butterfly effect and increased the strength of the Zhongzhou team in advance, if he bumped into the hands of Zhang Jie, who may not be very affectionate... I'm afraid the consequences would not be good.
He was just about to prevaricate.
However, the next moment, he was so shocked that his eyes fell from their sockets!
Zheng Zha: [A few days ago, we met those two crocodiles in the sewer. When I subconsciously turned on my bloodthirsty sense during the battle... I caught a glimpse of Zhang Jie for a moment. 】
Zheng Zha: [The feeling he gave me at that time... was as strong as a Tyrannosaurus rex! 】
