Chapter 11: The

Project: Chris Redfield.

Description:

The project is still in the development stage and has not yet reached its peak state.

When the project reaches its peak, it will master various weapons, martial arts, and combat techniques.

In a desperate situation, the body's attributes will increase dramatically, especially strength, far surpassing ordinary humans, and luck will also rise sharply.

However, humans sharing the same desperate situation with the project will see their luck drop to the lowest point.

"It really is kill‑you‑dead…"

After hearing the system's report, Sui Bian appeared calm on the surface, but he couldn't help sighing inwardly.

Teaming with Chris in a crisis, luck was as if it had been siphoned away, making death inevitable, and it seemed to disregard gender.

As a tough girl, Jier also almost got killed by Chris.

"Hmm… it's best to let him undertake the mission alone, to avoid unnecessary casualties," Sui Bian evaluated.

"Then…" At that moment, Ailongsi, who was delivering a speech, extended his right hand toward Sui Bian behind him and said:

"Mr. Sui, you may speak next."

After speaking, Ailongsi stepped back two paces to the left‑rear, giving Sui Bian space.

"Very well." Seeing this, Sui Bian moved to the podium, gathered his thoughts, and said in a deep voice to the officers:

"Everyone, I hereby, on behalf of the company, extend our deepest apologies to you and the families of the victims.

Our Umbrella slogan is 'Protect Your Family,' but we never imagined that one of the founders, James Marcus, became obsessed with creating viral weapons, leading to numerous tragedies in Akelei Shanqu.

Therefore, the company has sent me to assist you in handling this incident."

At this point, Sui Bian lifted the remote on the podium with his left hand and controlled the slide show.

Immediately after, the soft screen displayed a satellite aerial view of the mansion and the Cadre Training Institute.

Sui Bian glanced around the crowd and continued: "These two facilities, due to Marcus's madness, caused the death and mutation of internal researchers and biological samples.

Therefore, in this joint operation, our side will provide a sufficient quantity of vaccine to reduce or prevent casualties as much as possible.

Are there any questions?"

"."

Everyone furrowed their brows and fell into silence.

The officers could not imagine that the 'zombies' defined in Qiaozhi Romero's movies were actually real.

Being scratched or bitten leads to infection; the disease causes death, and after 'revival' they become walking corpses, losing consciousness and memory, only knowing to devour any living thing before them.

Living dead.

Moreover, the way to kill them is very 'simple': destroy their neural center, which translates to destroying their heads.

It feels very unrealistic.

However, this made the officers suddenly understand what those 'beasts' actually are.

"Mr. Sui." Shortly after Sui Bian's words, Chris stood up and asked: "How should we deal with James Marcus, who preserves human intelligence?"

"No need to worry about that; my assistant (Red Queen) will revoke all of his permissions… we only need to focus on dealing with those anomalous creatures," Sui Bian said with a smile.

Hearing this, Chris nodded lightly and then returned to his seat.

The officers showed no surprise at Umbrella's possession of a private armed force.

Because this is a very normal thing in the United States.

According to the U. S. Constitution, the Second Amendment states that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

Ordinary civilians own weapons, which is why policing in the United States is an extremely high‑risk profession.

However, civilian weapons are semi‑automatic; fully automatic firearms are prohibited for purchase.

To obtain permission to use fully automatic weapons, one must be approved by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and with Umbrella's capabilities, they surely have 'legal' access.

Therefore, the officers do not intend to probe whether Umbrella's private force is legal, especially since a large part of their salary comes from Umbrella.

Next.

Ailongsi took over from Sui Bian to continue speaking, beginning to arrange the sweep operation in Akelei Shanqu.

The Raccoon City Police Department has a total of 422 officers.

According to Ailongsi's plan, the sweep will officially commence at 12:30 that day; at that time, 120 officers will handle city security, and the remaining officers will be deployed to the northern Akelei Shanqu.

Ordinary officers will be responsible for sealing off the mountain area, ensuring citizens do not mistakenly enter, nor allow anomalous creatures to escape.

STARS' A and B squads, together with thirty Raccoon City SWAT officers, will cooperate with Umbrella's combat team to conduct a deep‑mountain sweep.

11:05.

A convoy of two black heavy‑duty trucks and seven black SUVs arrived in front of the main gate of the Raccoon City Police Department.

Moreover, the sides of the trucks' cargo bays and the SUVs' license plates bore conspicuous red‑white umbrella logos.

The refrigerated cargo bays of the trucks also carried a sufficient quantity of T‑Virus Vaccine.

Riding in the SUVs were Alpha Squad and the nest's technical staff.

Omicron is responsible for staying behind at the nest.

Alpha Squad, led by Hank, will be equipped with 5.56×45mm caliber and larger firearms, possessing armor‑piercing incendiary rounds and other special ammunition to handle various sudden situations.

At the same time, Alpha also dons black combat gear and the iconic 'Red‑Eyed Octopus Head' gas mask.

In Resident Evil 2, Alpha Squad was completely annihilated, mainly because they were ill‑prepared against the G Virus, still using the small‑caliber MP5 as their primary weapon.

With adequate preparation and the assistance of STARS and SWAT, they could sweep the B. O. W. s.

The technicians wearing white jumpsuits are prepared to, after the sweep, retrieve B. O. W. corpses and various data.

11:45.

All personnel participating in the sweep, including Sui Bian, have been injected with the T‑Virus Vaccine.

11:48.

Over two hundred police officers drove ahead to the northern mountains to carry out a lockdown mission.

The SUV convoy also carried technicians in tow, to enter the mountains after the sweep operation is completed.

Sui Bian, Alpha, STARS and SWAT rode police vehicles to the police helicopter base built on the western edge of Raccoon City.

11:57.

Sui Bian and his party arrived at the base.

Six UH-1204B Huey medium‑utility helicopters and six AS350 light multipurpose helicopters were parked here.

It must be said that the Raccoon City police department, or rather the whole of Raccoon City, is extremely wealthy.

For a city of about a hundred thousand, a police department having two to four light helicopters is already impressive, yet Raccoon City possesses twelve light and medium helicopters.

The frequent police‑helicopter crashes in the games Biohazard 0, 2, 3 alone show how wasteful the Raccoon City police department is.

12:02

Everything is ready.

The six UH-1s the group boarded lifted off, adjusted course, and flew northward in formation toward the mountains.
