Chapter 142 Powerless Hive Command
A terrible roar came from the depths of the forest, the voice between two different creatures.
One of them was a large feline, with well-proportioned and well-built muscles under the glossy fur, and a graceful figure like a noble dancer. There is no variegated color on its whole body, only pure black like the night. This makes it the perfect killer in a dark night.
A rare black jaguar. But compared to its brethren, aside from its rare black fur, it has a weirder physique. Almost five feet tall at the withers, making it look almost indistinguishable from a full-grown bull. From this point of view alone, it has become a giant of its kind.
It is almost impossible to have a jaguar bigger than it in this world, not even a cat larger than it. Even the Siberian tiger is just a dwarf in front of him.
And now, this huge black jaguar is pressing a figure to the ground in a weird posture, it is roaring at the figure, and the figure is also roaring at it. Another terrible roar came from his mouth.
It was a well-built adult male. Shaved head and full of explosive muscles. The tall stature and those tangled steel-like muscles make him look more impactful than the so-called bodybuilder. But he was a mad beast.
From just now, he has been roaring, desperately trying to attack the jaguar on him. Use both hands and feet, and even want to bite with your mouth. You can't see any sense of intelligent creatures in his eyes, crazy, bloodthirsty, and extremely aggressive. It's no different from those zombies.
And he's actually a zombie. A healed zombie.
Invisible thoughts concentrated on his head, smashing everything there. This guy who was struggling suddenly stopped his madness, his huge body twitched a few times, and soon lost his movement. And after the movement under his feet disappeared, the big black cat started shaking his big head and looked at the person standing beside him.
Zhou Yi, who had done all this, shook his head at the corpse with a regretful expression on his face.
Originally, he pinned his hopes on his own power, hoping to turn zombies back into human beings with the healing power of the sun. But he found himself a little too optimistic.
Although the gift of the sun can make a life into the healthiest state, it is only physical. In essence, zombies are not just physically broken, but more of their brains. The moment they become zombies, it actually means that their brains have died, and even the power from the gods cannot bring them back to life.
At most, it just makes them stronger zombies.
To be honest, Zhou Yi was a little disappointed by this result, but not unexpected. He had already been mentally prepared for this, and the current situation was nothing but a bad estimate that had become a reality. What's more, there are still some surprises.
With a whistle, the huge black jaguar moved gracefully and quietly came to Zhou Yi's side. Its huge head pressed against Zhou Yi's chest, and then rubbed it softly. Like a coquettish house cat.
Zhou Yi gently scratched the big cat's chin, making it purr comfortably.
For Zhou Yi, this big cat is today's surprise. Like the zombie just now, it was also an animal infected with a virus, but before it was completely transformed into a zombie animal, Zhou Yi rescued it and used the gift of the sun on it.
The virus was stopped before it destroyed its will. And a miraculous mutation has occurred in its body. The virus did not destroy it, but instead prompted its body to undergo changes like evolution.
Its body is bigger, its muscles are stronger, and its brain seems to have been developed.
Zhou Yi could clearly feel that it was far smarter than a beast. Because it can not only understand the meaning of Zhou Yi, but also very willing to accept Zhou Yi's orders. That feeling, as if the big cat was his pet for years.
This means that his powers can cure the virus, as long as he can cure those guys who are infected with the virus before they are completely transformed. It's not easy, but it's better than being incurable. Because it's a hope anyway, a hope that saves lives.
The big cat was still rubbing against Zhou Yi's chest, as if hoping that Zhou Yi could scratch harder. But Zhou Yi did not continue, he pushed the big cat's huge head and said to it in its puzzled eyes.
"Sorry, good girl. Now is not the time to play with you. I have more important things to do."
The big cat stared at a pair of brown-yellow eyes, and a low whimper came out of his throat very humanely, just like a child who was wronged.
Since being rescued by Zhou Yi, it has instinctively developed a feeling of dependence on Zhou Yi. It's like a child's affection for a parent. This feeling is very pure because it is born without any impurities. Completely from the most primitive instinct.
That's why, when Zhou Yi expressed his intention to leave, it immediately felt a huge disappointment. And express it instinctively.
Seeing the big cat complaining to himself like a child, Zhou Yi also felt a little regretful. To be honest, he really likes this big cat. If it weren't for the things here, he really wanted to keep it.
But now, he couldn't let this big cat follow him so willfully. The appearance of a monster-like jaguar in Laken City would surely cause panic. It's not a good thing either for humans or for it. Unless, wait until it's all over.
But at that time, it is estimated that this big cat has long forgotten this feeling. Like it forgets its own mother.
Ruthless, Zhou Yi still pushed the big cat away. His figure quickly shuttled through the forest and flew towards the city. At his speed, it was impossible for the big cat to keep up with him, so he left with confidence.
But he didn't think about the toughness of the big cat. Jaguars are natural hunters, and they can even track their prey through entire jungles. So when he left, the big cat acted immediately. This black beast jumped and galloped through the forest. It followed his scent all the way. This is the persistence of animals, and compared to humans, they rarely give up.
Zhou Yi didn't know that there was a big cat following him behind him. At this moment, he was in contact with Medusa, hoping to get the information he wanted with her help. Information about S.T.A.R.S.
Soon, Medusa gave him the answer. A set of confidential information appeared in front of his eyes. Seeing this information, Zhou Yi couldn't help but laugh. Everything was pretty much what he had estimated, and S.T.A.R.S was just miserably suppressed at this time.
The leaders of both groups were killed unexpectedly, and most of the members were in accidents. Only a few survived. And the few people who survived were not feeling well. They were accused and punished to varying degrees. Two of them were even suspended for investigation, and they were disclosed to the media in the name of mental problems.
As for the reason, it's very simple. It is because these two survivors spread rumors about the existence of man-eating monsters. And caused a certain amount of chaos in the city of Laken.
Clearly, this is what Umbrella does. And the person who can be targeted by Umbrella like this, no matter how you think about it, it can't be Umbrella's person. Then, at this time, they have the value of being attracted by Zhou Yi.
Just when Zhou Yi was still trying his best to push Umbrella and protect the human beings in this city.
Raymond, who has been desperately looking for Zhou Yi, stared at a document with a very ugly expression.
It was an order jointly signed by Umbrella's most core senior personnel. This order has the highest authority within Umbrella, and its content is very simple. It is to require Raymond to restart the hive within today.
What happened inside the hive had been characterized as a espionage intrusion, and executives who feared the theft of their greatest research couldn't bear Raymond's delay any longer, and they worded harshly. And repeatedly stated the deadline for this matter.
The restart of the hive is already irreversible. If Raymond continues to perfunctory like this, he will receive the most severe punishment.
Seeing this order, Raymond's whole person became gloomy and angry. He really wanted to scold them in front of the core, but it was just his fantasy, he didn't have the courage. The cruelty within Umbrella is enough to turn the bloodiest man into a shivering little quail. What's more, he's never been a bloody guy.
So in the end, he chose to compromise.
"The order goes on. At four o'clock this afternoon, the hive will be opened on time! Transfer our manpower as much as possible, and make all preparations for protection."
Hearing this order, his deputy was stunned for a moment.
"Sir, it's less than three hours before four o'clock, we are short of manpower, and it's too late to prepare now."
"If there is a shortage of manpower, it will be transferred from here. Anyone with experience in this area will be sent to me. In addition, if the preparations are made, start now. No matter what, restart the hive must start on time. This is the above order, the highest Level. I don't think I need to explain to you what that means."
Hearing this, the deputy also changed his face. He rushed out quickly to issue Raymond's order. The supreme command was like a knife hanging over his head, forcing him to do his best. Because he knows that if this thing fails, there is absolutely nothing good for them. He's Raymond's second-in-command, and they're tied together in a way.
Watching the deputy run out as if being chased by a mad dog, a haze appeared in Raymond's eyes again. He has been dissatisfied with the group of damn old guys at the headquarters for a long time. And now, these grievances are like explosives piled up in everything, just waiting for a little spark to set them on fire.
And in Umbrella, will there be less Mars?
Thinking of this, his face became more and more hideous. A low growl escaped from between his teeth.
"Don't let me find a chance, you goddamn old bastards. Otherwise, it will be your death."
