Chapter 141 The Outskirts of Forbidden Areas

Umbrella's people scattered a large number of people around the hotel, and they carried out a carpet-like search like crazy, not even letting go of any corner. But they never found what they were looking for.

Zhou Yi seemed to have disappeared completely, not to mention his trace, not even the slightest clue about him.

This made Raymond extremely anxious. He was worried about Zhou Yi's safety, or that Zhou Yi encountered things in this city that he couldn't discover. Once that kind of thing appeared in front of Zhou Yi's eyes and caused him harm, let alone investment, even Umbrella's high-level punishment and revenge from Zhou Yi were enough to make him feel better.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his bones. Umbrella's cruelty to losers is enough to make even the most ruthless people dread, and he is no exception.

"Let the security department assign personnel to completely block all passages from the suburbs to the city. Don't let anything of that kind slip into the city. In addition, clean the city and clean up the infected as quickly as possible. And give me Monitor satellite footage 24 hours a day and find him for me before he sees the problem."

He quickly issued orders, making the entire Umbrella branch operate. Beside him, his deputy began to suggest.

"Sir, maybe we can start with his secretary and find a reason for the secretary to contact her, so that his position can be determined."

"And then, tell him we're monitoring him and let him leave in a rage. And the higher-ups threw fire on me?" Raymond said with a cold face. "Don't take other people for idiots. We can't measure a guy who can do this from scratch."

"Don't give me extra branches at this time. If I am planted because of this, then you don't want to be able to go back alive. Understand?"

"I understand, sir," the deputy replied in a cold sweat, knowing that Raymond was serious, and that made him even more frightened. However, for the sake of his own life, he still had to mention another important thing.

"Sir, do we have to suspend the request from the headquarters to open the hive. If there is an accident at this time..."

Hearing this, Raymond couldn't help but twitch on his face.

The hive is Umbrella's top secret here, and it is also the highest-level research institution in Laken. But a huge accident happened to this research facility, and the entire underground laboratory was blocked by Umbrella's artificial intelligence Red Queen. And the highest-level crisis message was sent to the headquarters.

This means that the hive has completely fallen, and it also means that all the researchers inside have been killed. After receiving this message, the headquarters immediately issued the highest priority order to him, requiring him to restart the hive and the red queen, and take out the research results inside.

As Umbrella's top executive, he naturally knew what was in the hive. Umbrella's masterpiece, a biochemical weapon capable of changing the world. But this weapon is very dangerous, dangerous to the extent that they are already out of control. If one is not careful, it can lead to a huge disaster.

Originally, he was fully prepared to open the hive according to the order of the high-level officials. But now, because of Zhou Yi's reasons, he had to transfer the already arranged manpower. This made his plan completely unable to proceed normally.

"Slow down the hive for a while, and focus on what I just said." After thinking about it, Raymond finally made a decision.

With his authority, he could drag the hive affair for two days, and no matter how bad the situation was, it was nothing but a reprimand. But if there is a problem with Zhou Yi. He's completely screwed.

In this case, the choice is already obvious.

While Raymond was still worrying about Zhou Yi's affairs, Zhou Yi's figure had quietly appeared in the place where Raymond didn't want him to appear, in the forest on the outskirts of Laken City.

This place has now become a forbidden place in Laken City, and even those loggers and those who often hunt here dare not appear here again. Because there are terrifying beasts here.

There have been no less than twenty cases of beast attacks in this forest, and there are even rumors that the recent outbreak of madman bites in Laken City came from here. Almost overnight, the forest became the subject of a terrifying urban tale.

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no mischief by some people with intentions. But since such rumors can spread, there will still be some suspicious situations. Zhou Yi even suspected that some of Umbrella's experiments were hiding here.

After all, it has been a long time since Alfred passed the news to him, presumably the guys he mentioned last time have done some shameful things.

Thinking of this, he began to scan the forest, hoping to find something useful. And soon he found something strange.

A group of walking carrion, wandering aimlessly in the forest. It is clear from their appearance that they have been rotting for a long time, and must have been attacked by something strange before they became like this. Because most of this group of corpses can only be described as wreckage, and even the few ones that are relatively healthy still look like they lack arms and short legs.

The moment he saw them, Zhou Yi thought of the information he had seen before. Umbrella's evil experiment, only those deformed creatures can cause such wounds, and only that kind of virus can turn corpses into these walking carrion.

Something must have happened here, after making this judgment in my heart. Zhou Yi immediately ran towards the group of wandering carrion, he wanted to find more information from those corpses.

The wandering corpses operate according to their most primitive instincts. The only purpose of their activities is to eat, and their broken bodies provide more energy. Therefore, as long as it is alive, it is their target of attack.

So when Zhou Yi appeared in front of these corpses, they rushed up immediately. like a real beast.

Yet it hardly takes a second thought to know what is going to happen. After all, corpses are nothing more than what people have become, and even though they have become this ghostly appearance, their power will not change much. To deal with these corpses, Zhou Yi didn't even need to do anything.

The psychic force easily snapped their necks, lost the connection to the cervical spine, and they almost turned into real corpses. They have nothing to attack other people except their mouths that keep opening and closing.

Of course, just the head wriggling on the chin is enough to scare many people to death. Zhou Yi experimented on these corpses for a long time, only to find that only by smashing the brains of these corpses can they completely lose their kinetic energy.

This is very scary, because for ordinary people, it is difficult for them to cause an effective attack on these corpses, and it is meaningless if the bullet hits the head, and the sharpshooter who hits the head with a gun, how many in this world can there be Woolen cloth? It is almost conceivable what would happen to ordinary people if they faced such a monster.

What's more, the most terrifying thing about it is not its characteristic of mutating people into monsters, but its terrifying contagiousness. Bite, bodily fluids, and even through water and food are all possible human-to-human transmission, and the possibility of airborne transmission cannot be ruled out, which can be devastating once it erupts. Humanity's fragile social system could not withstand his onslaught at all.

Fortunately, before all this happened, someone had already started to prepare to stop it. S.H.I.E.L.D. has recognized its dangers, they will not let this kind of thing break out in the world, and naturally, neither will he.

Looking through the guys who have turned into real corpses, except for one or two guys in the SWAT uniform of S.T.A.R.S, most of the others are just civilian clothes. And it looks like it's either a lumberjack or a hunter. However, the name S.T.A.R.S was already the clue Zhou Yi wanted to get.

S.T.A.R.S, Special Tactics and Rescue Team. An elite SWAT department.

Although this elite fighting group apparently belongs to the local police department, it is actually affiliated with the US federal security department. Therefore, in terms of administrative power, they are independent from the police station. Every member of S.T.A.R.S can be said to be an elite, because they themselves are elites drawn from various departments.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, they will not be dispatched. Only when they encounter extreme criminal activities and terrorist activities will they take action to solve them. In nature, they are almost indistinguishable from the US Special Forces S.W.A.T.

Now that the corpses of S.T.A.R.S members are here, it is almost certain that they have already launched an investigation into the area. However, it seems that their operation ended in failure, and there were many sacrifices. These corpses are proof.

What happens next is completely woven by imagination. The people of S.T.A.R.S will definitely not be willing to let their companions live in such a strange place and die so tragically. They will definitely want to come back here and find the real killer behind the scenes to avenge it. But in Umbrella's city, even they can only be suppressed.

All actions are prohibited and all reports are intercepted. Mental problems may even be diagnosed. With Umbrella's ability, it is completely possible to do this. The rest of S.T.A.R.S have absolutely no other way but to complain. Even if they say such knowledge, they will be fabricated by Umbrella to spread rumors.

They have no ability to oppose Umbrella, and can only warn others by spreading this kind of news through the Internet.

I have to say that Zhou Yi is indeed a real capitalist. Because everything he thought matched exactly what Umbrella did. Of course, Umbrella did it more ruthlessly, because in their plan, S.T.A.R.S was originally an experiment. So what they experienced was far more complicated than Zhou Yi imagined.

However, this has little to do with Zhou Yi. He has already got the clues he wants, and the rest is much easier to do.

Find S.T.A.R.S, as long as they don't have too much ties with Umbrella, then they will definitely find ways to avenge their partners. If that's the case, Zhou Yi doesn't mind borrowing their strength. But before that, he has one more thing to do.
