Chapter 37 ·Ninth Night
Jiang Yu had a dream.
In the dream, I did not succeed in getting the first pot of gold in the hive. Naturally, he couldn't create Xia to provide assistance to him. And he failed to persuade Zheng Zha to change the exchange. Instead, it was because of his self-defeating words that everyone did not trust him enough.
Instead of taking the shortcut, he became a clown. Even if he exhausted the only reward points in his hand, he still could not complete the snowballing of power accumulation. And when World Two opens, a fate even more tragic than Li Xiaoyi's will befall his body.
When the aliens saw themselves as the target of hunting, no one extended a helping hand to them. Even if it was Li Xiaoyi, at least Zheng Zha tried to rescue him when he was taken away by the alien in the original world.
How sad.
When he woke up in the alien's lair. The flesh that has been drained of nutrients is sending out signs of exhaustion, and when the chest breaker's life breath is constantly expanding in his body, the whole world in front of him seems to be calling out to him.
——You are just a mortal, relying on luck to get here.
——How dare you...think that you are above everyone else! ?
…………………………
Jiang Yu opened her eyes.
It's day nine, afternoon. The final decision at dusk was still hours away. The reincarnations of the Central Continent team are each resting or doing daily preparations. Regardless of whether the next step is to fight to the end or give up early, as long as the discussion reaches a consensus, everyone will fight to the end for the same goal.
The situation has not changed much in this city, compared with the day before, and the day before that. Not much has changed except that there are fewer people.
Jiang Yu gently pressed her chest - her heart was beating vigorously, not urgently or slowly.
"Ayu, haven't you slept well?" Xia's voice came from beside him - he turned his head, and the pink-haired beauty was sitting on the chair beside the bed, casting a worried and concerned look at him. "It's still a while before the agreed time. You can take a rest."
Her hand held Jiang Yu's hand. There is gentle heat under the slightly cool skin - America has indeed begun to cool down on a large scale at the end of September. But some weak infuriating energy circulated, soothing his nerves and the body wrapped around them.
"I'm fine." Jiang Yu said. He thought his voice would be hoarse and his chest would be heavy, but it wasn't. "I was just a little nervous when the last day came, so I had a boring dream."
A boring dream indeed. Because the past is not worth assuming, the future is only in your own hands. The trembling, frightened emotion is of no use to me. On the contrary, if you start to question your past, your own decisions and abilities, you rely on everything you have grasped with your hands, and attribute them all to 'luck'. Then, sooner or later, everything you own will be lost in self-pity and self-abasement.
Only weak people do that - Jiang Yu doesn't know if he can become a strong person, but he doesn't want to become a weak one.
So he got up from the bed. Change the armor that needs to be equipped during battle.
"Is everything still normal?" he asked Xia while dressing.
"There haven't been many changes in Raccoon City. But the security at the checkpoint has become tighter. About two hours ago, the police officers in Raccoon City evacuated from the police station and went to the checkpoint to cooperate with Umbrella's work. People are carrying out the evacuation of citizens at the beginning of the second part - one of the heroines, Jill Valentine, is also among them. This may be a sign that the first part is about to end and the second part begins."
"What about Ashford Villa and Raccoon City Junior High?"
"There are no significant changes yet. But I did observe the appearance of Umbrella's pick-up and drop-off convoy. They arrived at the research center half an hour ago - but there was no movement after they entered. At the same time, the sentries around Umbrella are still maintained. Operation and maintaining high vigilance, it is very likely that they have completed the transformation experiment on the heroine Alice in the original plot.”
Jiang Yu nodded.
According to time calculation, the Umbrella Research Institute should have almost completed its work at this time. And when daylight comes tomorrow, the research center will be emptied, leaving only the 'heroes' and heroines of the second part. Tracker Matt, and Fusion Alice - Alice will wake up in the afternoon, near dusk. The time when Matt was awakened should be late in the plot, late at night in Raccoon City.
In other words, before the research team evacuated. This is the last and best time for the reincarnators to launch an action to seize the T original solution.
everything is normal.
The reincarnators’ Plan A and Plan B do not seem to have any impact on the world because of their different choices.
——But even if the bodies are cleared away. The fact that the entire squad was wiped out will not disappear. As long as we choose to confront that team head-on instead of passively escaping from their pursuit. This choice will have a chain reaction on the world... They will know that there is a powerful force in this city. They will feel the crisis. And then... they act accordingly.
What is the action? have no idea.
Jiang Yu's intelligence is not enough to complete this level of deduction and calculation.
But what he can be sure of is that there will definitely be changes in Umbrella, and they will be big. What he was betting on was that this huge news would be revealed before the tenth day.
He didn't know if Alexia really existed - but he knew that behind Dr. Ashford there must be forces within Umbrella that supported him. And since there are, then they will feel confused, nervous, and even anxious because of the sudden disappearance of the troops.
Yes, he used the laws of the Lord God...or the laws of mathematics. The path he chooses is destined to be challenged by fate, and this challenge cannot happen without reason. So just clean up the monsters along the way before taking action and lure the Umbrella forces in Raccoon City away from the tunnel area. At that time, what he and others would encounter would most likely be forces from the Ashford faction.
It was a bit adventurous, and in the end I found out that I really hadn't encountered a single monster. Before joining the enemy, he actually had some regrets in his heart.
But regrets are regrets, and actions are actions. And now...
——I'm waiting for changes, changes within Umbrella. If not, then use other, more risky ways to promote this operation. And if there is, then... we may have a reason to act.
Jiang Yu rubbed the dimensional ring on her finger. The still ample ammunition reserves gave him full confidence. And in his perception... well, it was actually Kashezin's intranet terminal display. All members of the team were already physically and mentally active at this moment.
It’s also good to prepare a little more in advance.
…………………………
Dusk soon reached the city. When the final pre-war meeting was held, the Samsaras moved to a new base. The place of conversation moved from the hidden building to the vast and gorgeous interior lounge of the church. The Samsaras even spent some time setting up a small position here.
The reincarnators have a weakness - the weakness is that they must return to the small building as the landing point on time. This weakness must be disguised, so a new, attention-grabbing one is needed. Bunker positions exposed at critical moments will receive priority strikes.
The church in Raccoon City is such a great place. The church bell tower can be reached quickly from the internal lounge. It also provides a good view of most of the city. While Kasumi was on guard there, the reincarnations of the Central Continent team held their final meeting - or in other words, they threw the detailed structural diagram of the Raccoon City Research Center on the table, waiting for someone to come up with a valuable unique idea. suggestion.
That ‘someone’ doesn’t exist yet. So the reincarnators just looked at each other there. Around the table, you look at me, then I look at you.
Zhang Jie coughed lightly.
"Umbrella... seems to have strengthened the security of the research center." He emphasized the suggestions he made very hard and with a low presence. "Is it because we killed so many zombies that Umbrella's forces that would have been dispersed were concentrated?"
There was silence.
Jiang Yu and Zheng Zha looked at each other, and the former spoke first.
"But we can fight." Jiang Yu said, which was the foreshadowing of his eventual non-appearance of 'change'. "The battle a few days ago has proven that Umbrella's troops are not as powerful as we expected. As long as we remain in the dark and are caught by surprise, the possibility of completing our goals and escaping unscathed is very high."
"But we don't have to..."
"We have to take this risk." Zheng Zha took over Jiang Yu's words. "None of us can tell what the next reincarnation world will be. So before that, I want to enhance the combat effectiveness of everyone in the team as much as possible on a more familiar battlefield. Umbrella's research center is very important to us. It’s not strong. What’s more, we don’t necessarily have to deviate from the original path.”
He pointed to a certain point on the map on the desktop, which was an edge warehouse in the underground area of the research center. Then a subway layout map engraved on tissue paper was superimposed on it. If the two intelligence drawings provided by the Lord God are completely correct, then the edge of the warehouse is only five meters away from an abandoned underground railway tunnel.
Five meters is considered a thick enough distance in terms of modern construction technology. but……
"That bottle of alien biological acid is still more than two-thirds full." Zhan Lan murmured. She was the first to react and realize Zheng Zha's intention.
"We can have a way out." Zheng Zha nodded, with some natural pride in his tone: "I also thought of it on a whim, but it was also thanks to Jiang Yu that he exchanged the key terrain drawings of Raccoon City. Now, I feel that we actually We have already reached a consensus on whether we can capture the Raccoon City Research Center. And we also have backup means to smoothly escape after obtaining the T original solution."
He looked at Zhang Jie sincerely, and his voice was full of sincerity.
"Brother Zhang Jie, I owe you a share. I want to pay it back, please give me a chance."
He said, his words made Zhang Jie a little stunned. And just as Zhang Jie was preparing his reply, a huge roar suddenly broke out in the distance!
The dusk and light night outside the window were lit up instantly.
At this moment, a general communication from Xia came out from the communication channel.
"Everyone! There is a battle in the direction of Ashford Villa and Raccoon City Middle School!"
The last night of Resident Evil has begun.
