Chapter 6: The Umbrella Arrives, Artillery Fire Unleashed
Chapter 6: The Umbrella Arrives, Artillery Fire Unleashed
After Fang Heng and Alice finished talking, Claire noticed the group of people walking over.
"Carlos, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Fang Heng. Then this matter is settled. Claire, let's go. There are some things I need to tell you."
Fang Heng's goal is the North American base, while Claire and others want a safe and uninfected habitat; their goals do not conflict.
After all, although the Umbrella Corporation's base was underground and uninfected, as a giant multinational corporation, it would naturally not allow its branch to be occupied by others.
Therefore, the Umbrella base was not within Claire's options.
Therefore, Fang Heng also told Carlos that he could let Claire know, but it was better not to tell the other survivors.
Judging from Fang Heng's attire alone, Alice and the others knew he was powerful, so they didn't want to antagonize him and lose an ally.
After Carlos told Claire these things, she didn't say anything.
After all, everyone has their own choices, and she couldn't interfere with Fang Heng's thoughts.
However, Claire was also somewhat angry about LJ's situation.
For her, the safety of the convoy was the most important thing. LJ was bitten but didn't say anything. If he turned into a zombie later, he would definitely be a ticking time bomb.
Fortunately, the virus is now much weaker, and the time it takes to turn into a zombie has changed from a few hours to several days.
LJ was quickly locked up, and a time bomb was thus defused.
Immediately afterwards, the convoy set off again, heading towards the gambling city.
Meanwhile, after Isaac synthesized the command voice of rotating chairman Wesker, the protective umbrella forces of the North American branch were also mobilized.
The tampered zombies were loaded into shipping containers and lifted off by helicopter.
Aboard the helicopter, Isaac watched the live footage transmitted from the satellite, filled with anticipation.
Soon, Isaac and his group arrived at the rooftop of a building in Las Vegas.
With everything ready, the scene quieted down as everyone waited patiently for Alice's arrival.
Soon, the silhouettes of vehicles came into view in the distance, and Isaac became somewhat excited.
"Sir, Alice has entered the signal range, and we can see her image now."
"Turn around immediately."
At this moment, Alice also saw the shipping container placed next to the building.
"Alice, it's full of zombies inside. Carlos, Claire, get everyone ready. The Umbrella people are upstairs. I need ten minutes."
"Alright, Fang Heng, it's up to you now."
On the way here, in a location not detected by satellite, all the non-combatant survivors were left there, but the vehicle still drove over normally. Now, everyone present is a combatant.
With Claire's order given, everyone was ready.
"Bang!"
As the container door opened, there was a moment of silence, and then a large number of mutated zombies rushed out.
Compared to other zombies, these zombies move faster than normal, can run, possess simple intelligence, and have already developed a basic ability to cooperate.
However, unlike in the movie world, the convoy back then was unprepared and was basically defeated one by one. Now, the group, who had already organized a defensive line, immediately held off the zombie attack.
However, this situation is somewhat different from that in the movie.
Just as everyone was about to eliminate these mutated zombies, many more mutated zombies rushed in from two other directions.
"Damn it, Carlos, there are still zombies here!"
Seeing the similar attire, Claire immediately realized that these zombies were also deployed by the Umbrella Corporation.
"Fang Heng, how much longer?"
"It'll be ready soon, in 5 minutes!"
Seeing this, Alice immediately stepped forward to fight as well.
With Alice joining the battle, the previously precarious defenses were instantly stabilized.
On the rooftop, Isaac looked at Alice in the picture and was very excited.
"She's perfect!"
After making a remark, Isaac immediately issued the order.
"You need to act quickly after she dies; I need fresh blood samples."
"Yes, sir."
"Is the satellite in place?"
"We're in position!"
"Good, turn it off."
As soon as the operator sent out the command, Alice, who had just dealt with the last zombie in the vicinity, immediately received the command.
[Beep, new command received, in progress, judgment complete, insufficient permissions, starting screen simulation, activating deception mode]
As an electronic notification sounded in her mind, Alice immediately realized that the Umbrella Corporation wanted to control her.
But there's no need to worry now. On the Umbrella Corporation's computer, it shows that they have been shut down and will not be detected by satellites.
"Fang Heng, Umbrella Corporation has made its move."
"Alice, I need you to find a way to disable their satellites and cut off their connection with the White Queen."
"Okay, I understand."
"Claire, Carlos, you can get ready. I'll activate the battlefield signal jamming shortly, then you can start fighting freely."
"OK!"
After learning about the Umbrella Corporation's plans, it became much easier for Claire and her team to deal with them.
Moreover, on the way here, Fang Heng also made a few small items that can effectively deal with the current horde of zombies.
Fang Heng hadn't expected the Umbrella Corporation to be so cautious this time. In the movie, all he saw was an ordinary helicopter and a transport helicopter.
But this time, there wasn't just one box; there were at least three.
Meanwhile, zombies were constantly jumping out of the surrounding buildings and heading this way.
Although the flock of crows had already wiped out the zombies on the streets, there were still many inside the buildings that hadn't been cleared out.
Now, drawn by the gunfire, they are all beginning to gather here.
On the other side, Alice quickly arrived at Fang Heng's side. At this time, a huge signal enhancement transmitter had been set up. As soon as the power was turned on and the transmitter started, a notification sound immediately came from Alice's mind and Fang Heng's armor.
[Beep, signal connected]
"Alice, using this signal booster, along with the decoder that comes with the controller I gave you, you can quickly control Umbrella's satellites and use them for your own purposes."
"good!"
Without wasting words, Alice used her telekinesis to quickly locate the satellite, then modified the underlying permissions and controlled the satellite to change its position, flying towards another orbit.
When he lost control of the satellite, Isaac also sensed that something was wrong.
"Sir, our enhanced zombies are being rapidly eliminated. In addition, Alice has escaped our control, and the satellite has changed orbit and left this area."
"What's going on? Immediately connect to Alice's visual feed."
"Yes, sir!"
After a series of operations by the operator, the screen finally returned to normal, but Isaac was still a little confused as he watched Alice quickly going upstairs.
"Where is she going?"
"Bang!"
As a door opened, Isaac understood where Alice was going.
"Turn it off!"
"Sir, we don't have the authority!"
"Everyone, kill her!"
Before anyone could react, Alice burst through the door and took down the group with a few shots.
Unlike in the original story, Isaac wasn't bitten by a zombie while escaping; instead, he was directly captured by Fang Heng.
[Beep, information suppression has been initiated!]
With the burst of an electromagnetic signal, all signals here were suppressed, and no information could be transmitted.
After receiving the battlefield information suppression, everyone immediately boarded the vehicles and led the horde of corpses out of the city.
Once the horde of zombies reached a certain location, Carlos ordered the activation of the ultimate weapon.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Countless rockets streaked across the sky and landed directly in the middle of the horde of corpses.
"Boom boom boom!"
As a large number of rockets exploded, most of the zombie horde was instantly wiped out.
At the same time, Carlos and Claire each took out a grenade launcher and stuffed the two plasma grenades that Fang Heng had prepared into them.
"Bang! Bang!"
As the plasma bullet flew rapidly, it soon landed among the last horde of corpses.
"Sizzle!"
Countless electric currents surged, turning all the biological tissues inside into charcoal.
By this time, the remaining scattered zombies were no longer able to harm Carlos and his companions and were quickly dealt with.
Once everything had settled down, the entire convoy began cleaning up the battlefield.
After Claire and Carlos finished arranging things for the convoy, they also went up to the rooftop.
"Alice, is this guy a high-ranking official at the Umbrella Corporation base?"
"I'd say he's one of them, but his authority isn't very high. He's just a PhD, and his expertise is in research."
"But this guy is useless now. He mobilized Umbrella Corporation's armed forces this time by using forged audio files, and he has now been put on Umbrella Corporation's elimination list."
As he spoke, Fang Heng turned the computer around and showed it to the group.
Fang Heng successfully infiltrated Umbrella Corporation's servers using their satellites, without alerting the White Queen.
However, the North American base is currently connected to other bases via satellite, and the connection is only established during meetings. Therefore, the only base that can be hacked at present is the North American base.
Moreover, Fang Heng's armor's built-in intelligent program performance is not very good, and it may not be a match for the Red Queen.
"Fang Heng, have you found what you're looking for?"
"It's been found. Now, I'm ready to go. Alice, I think you'd better come with me. After all, you've seen the previous information."
"Yes, I'll be with you, Carlos."
"Claire, I'm afraid I can't go with you this time."
"It's alright, Carlos!"
