Chapter 38·Ninth Night·External Line of Defense

fighting.

It's not accurate to call it a battle.

When the reincarnators quickly went to the top of the bell tower and looked at the area covered by the dusk night with their vision far beyond normal people's eyesight, what they saw in their eyes was undoubtedly a war.

Fierce war.

Dozens...even nearly a hundred heavy armed helicopters came across the airspace, and a large number of elite troops, armored units, and biological weapons fell from the sky like water. Explosions, roars, accompanied by distant shaking of the earth. The Samsaras even saw a small gunboat protruding from the clouds, using its carrier-based cannon to pour fire crazily at the buildings on the ground!

Personnel changes within the company have become a life-and-death struggle. America, who was clearly 'free', was actually like a battlefield in the Middle East at this moment - able to mobilize such weapons. You don't need to think about it to know that the conflicts within the company have now become external, and even the American national forces are attacking or even liquidating the behemoth Umbrella. Regardless of the direction of this war, this means that Umbrella does not have many troops available in Raccoon City at the moment!

Jiang Yu and Zheng Zha's eyes suddenly collided in the air. Each other's eyes were filled with disbelief and ecstasy.

Their sights are instantly wrong.

They spoke in the same voice, but described the same thing at the same time.

"Don't miss the opportunity, the time will never come again." - Zheng Zha.

“If you don’t take what God has given you, you will be blamed for it.” ——Jiang Yu.

The two of them first looked at Zhan Lan and Mou Gang. Then it finally converged on Zhang Jie. Finally, Jiang Yu completed the last step of the operation.

"Brother Zhang Jie, we are a team. We advance and retreat together."

The decision-making power fell into Zhang Jie's hands.

This is a meaningless move, because Zhang Jie hides his identity as a semi-leader. He will only go to great lengths to conceal his information and power. Reduce the sense of presence, even if Zheng Zha or Jiang Yu make a decision without asking for his opinion at all. He would not stand in the way at critical moments, but would speak at most insignificant meetings.

This was a very necessary decision, because both Zheng Zha and Jiang Yu decided to give Zhang Jie enough attention. No matter how secretive he is, he must become very important in the Central Continent team - because only in this way can the explosion of his semi-leader's thunder be delayed as much as possible.

The means are not very bright, but only sincerity can gain sincerity. Neither of the two insiders showed the slightest malice toward Zhang Jie, the real big brother. Whether Zheng Zha or Jiang Yu, they all just want to do their best to enable themselves to grow faster and gain more resources through more training. So that when Zhang Jie detonates, he can have a chance to save it.

Save yourself and him. Regardless of whether he succeeds in the end, at least at this moment, his desire to help Zhang Jie so that his newly acquainted friends in the Zhongzhou Team can start and end well is not false.

Zheng Zha didn't know that at least there was no falsehood in Jiang Yu's heart. Because he could only do this, because he couldn't think of any other way to go.

So……

Zhang Jie gritted his teeth. The strategy worked.

"Damn it, done it!" The fist in his hand hit the fence at the top of the clock tower hard. There was a hint of relief and relaxation in his tone. "It doesn't matter if it's a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, I'll just break in with you!"

very good.

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes - of course he expected it, Zhang Jie would not stop them without any reason. He can be sure that the risks hidden in the research center are definitely more serious than he, or Zheng Zha, expected.

But, the dice have been thrown.

No, no hesitation!

…………………………

A few minutes... seven minutes and fifteen seconds later, to be precise.

The fighting in the distance continues. The winner may be decided soon, but at least not yet. However, this research base did not sound the alarm, because deep inside the base, there is a top-secret scientific research project that is about to be completed.

There was no alarm and the guards were not worried. Because since there was no attack here in the first place, there should be no attack next - internal personnel changes, and force will only be deployed in the most critical areas. Big shots will not target hard-working scientific research backbones. Because no matter which party or parties win in the end, the company's scientific researchers will be an important boost to their careers.

——There are six open sentinels and two hidden sentinels outside the research center. They communicated every five minutes. Let’s not discuss the open sentinel for now, but the hidden sentry must be removed first.

With a 'Crack--', Jiang Yu quietly broke the neck of a sniper hiding high up. The other party actually discovered him at the last moment. But Jiang Yu's speed was faster than his close range reaction ability.

A grenade slipped from the corpse's hand, and Jiang Yu, who had turned on the gene lock, caught it after seeing that the plug had not been pulled out. He sent an 'all is well' signal on Kashezin's internal comms channel. Zheng Zha, who was in charge of another secret sentry, gave the same response.

The most basic first step is achieved. Kasumi hacked into the communication system that was not connected to the super AI and confirmed that the last cycle of the communication cycle was only a few seconds ago. In addition, she was able to temporarily deceive the monitoring system.

This deception cannot last long, because there is a larger central control computer room inside the research center. There may be another super AI connected there, and in a few minutes at most, this disguise will be revealed.

——The second step is to get the two towers within a five-minute cycle.

Six open posts, two hidden posts, and two towers.

No matter how many soldiers there are in the tower, there will never be more than five.

Jiang Yu breathed out gently, but he still kept the gene lock running. His hands and feet have sufficient adsorption power due to the concentration of electromagnetic energy. He can climb on the tower after placing them on the secret sentry, and under Xia's guidance, choose the path with the lowest possibility of exposure.

Forward, down, and jump over a ledge. Land as lightly as possible on the ground and, instead of opening the door, climb through the window.

A soldier stationed in the tower was drinking coffee right in front of him. And his eyes widened.

"Zi——" There was a soft sound, and the palms filled with electromagnetic energy pressed against his chest. Even if one has not learned martial arts skills such as the 'Heart-Destroying Palm', this single blow of pulsating electric current is enough to paralyze a strong heart.

The soldier turned pale and then slumped. Jiang Yu casually took the coffee cup and let the body fall down slowly. The coffee was silently placed next to the deceased.

A surveillance camera was watching him, but ignored the assassination that was taking place.

"Ayu, there are three people on the other side of the tower. One of them is about to leave the room on your left." Xia's voice rang in the communication channel. Jiang Yu nodded silently, stood on tiptoes, and walked quickly to the far side. The other side of the door to the corpse. The next moment, a figure appeared at the door.

The corpse caught his eye at the first moment, and he almost screamed - but before that, his throat was hit by Jiang Yu's hand knife.

He was wearing a helmet, but Jiang Yu struck hard. It was so heavy that it could kill a bison, so heavy that the thick leather on the lower part of the helmet seemed to be gone, and the protected spine was reduced to pieces.

The second man fell, and his body slid down a little against the door panel. And in Kashejin's helmet, Jiang Yu breathed out slowly.

After taking multiple lives of the same kind for the second time, the feeling of discomfort is still there. Even just slight chest tightness and nervousness. It can also play a slight delaying role.

Fortunately, Jiang Yu is strong.

"Ayu, there are still two people in the door on the right. I will try to distract them. Please also be careful not to damage the console in the tower."

Jiang Yu nodded slightly and injected a little electromagnetic energy into the dimensional ring. The next moment, the warhammer and a silenced pistol loaded with subsonic bullets fell into his hands.

The genetic lock is still in operation.

There was a soft sound in the far room. It should be that the electronic wall clock on the side wall had malfunctioned.

Then, count silently for three seconds.

Three, two, Jiang Yu heard a footsteps moving in the direction of the wall clock. took two steps.

‘Bang——’ The door was knocked open.

One soldier was sitting sideways on the console, while another soldier who was walking towards the clock turned back in shock.

‘Bah—! ’ The first shot hit the soldier in front of the console in the neck, and the second shot hit the soldier in front of the clock in the back of the head. Neither shot was fatal, because it was impossible for a subsonic bullet equipped with a silencer to penetrate the protective leather after hitting it.

It doesn't penetrate, but it hurts. The soldier who was hit almost lost his breath, and the next moment——

A lunge.

Hand up, hammer down. Red blood trickled down, but it did not cause any dirt on the operating table.

Jiang Yu gently exhaled another breath, and now less than half a minute had passed.

Then, he waited quietly for dozens of seconds.

"Huh... it's done. I almost messed it up, thanks to Brother Zhang Jie." Zheng Zha's breathy voice came from the communication channel. Apparently, he had just closed the genetic lock.

So does Jiang Yu.

Then, Xia's next instructions came from the communication channel.

"Ayu, Zheng Zha, please each stick the soldier's badge on the operating table in the blank space in the upper left corner of the operating table. Then, pull the second red lever to the bottom, and then press the button directly below the lever."

Jiang Yu did as he was told.

In the distance, the door directly in front of the research center slowly opened. The six sentinels on the surface subconsciously turned their heads.

They may have thought it was a normal material transfer. But they may also become alert and take actions that the reincarnators would not expect.

so--

‘Puff—puff—’

The two soldiers fell, and with Xia's help, they quietly lurked to Zhan Lan who was very close. He used telekinetic single-molecule flying knives to penetrate the chest armor and hearts of the two men.

The remaining four people were all killed by Xia's rapid sniping attacks within two seconds.

All external defense lines were stripped away.

Mou Gang drove a cargo truck slowly and slowly approaching the opening of the research center. The reincarnators also jumped or walked out from various places and joined the carriage of the truck.

There was still silence in the research center. It seemed that no one noticed the actions of the reincarnators.

"Ayu, I just hacked into the opponent's electronic system. The super AI in the base should have discovered me."

Very good, it's like catching a turtle in an urn. The other party plans to use peripheral defense personnel as bait in an attempt to lure the reincarnators into a trap.

And this means that the Samsaras can smoothly penetrate deep into the base before encountering an ambush.

Jiang Yu nodded, inside the carriage where he was. Full power Thundercloud EMP, ready to work at any time.
