Chapter 14: Mobile Task Force

Seeing the crowd ready, Sui Bian lifted his left hand, lightly tapped his Bluetooth earpiece, and said softly to the Red Queen:

"Lift the lockdown, let that old guy James Marcus out."

"Yes."

As the Red Queen's words finished, the sealed gate took a few seconds to unlock, then slowly opened.

The gate opened, and everyone's hands on their weapons tightened again, for, according to the data Sui Bian released, Marcus was the hardest B. O. W. to deal with.

Soon, a handsome long‑haired man in a white, flamboyant long dress stepped out of the control room, spread his arms, and said with a smile:

"Welcome, everyone. Hehe, the whole world will fall into my wrath…"

Suddenly!

A gun cracked, "Pong!!", cutting off the man's rambling.

And the man's face… even his head was shattered, yet despite that, his head began healing at a visible speed.

The man eventually regained his original appearance, his expression filled with disbelief and extreme anger.

This flamboyant man was James Marcus.

The shooter just now was Sui Bian, standing behind the crowd.

"Pong! Pong!"

Just look, Sui Bian's right hand held a Beretta M92F aloft, and he fired a few more shots at James.

"Da-da-da!"

Hank and the other Alpha members fired almost in sync with Sui Bian, their index fingers pulling triggers, pouring various rounds at Marcus.

"Guys! Open fire!"

"Yes!"

Next came the STARS-B Team and SWAT.

"Puff! Puh!" In an instant, Marcus was riddled, dark black blood splattering everywhere.

Under the barrage, Marcus's whole body trembled uncontrollably, and his flamboyant clothes were shredded by the fire.

In the game, Marcus could turn into an extremely viscous, disgusting leech man, but now he has no chance to transform.

At this moment, Hank voluntarily ceased fire, reached with his left hand for the aluminum thermite grenade hanging at his right waist, pulled the pin, released the safety, and tossed it at Marcus.

Six other Alpha members also stopped firing, and each threw an aluminum thermite grenade at Marcus.

After that…

"Hoo! Hoo—Sizzle—!" Seven aluminum thermite grenades detonated sequentially around Marcus.

The grenades' detonation didn't produce a violent blast; instead, they sparked like Chinese firecrackers, scattering sparks.

The sparks clung to the still‑attacked Marcus, igniting rapidly, and the flames grew stronger, showing no sign of stopping.

"Roar!!! Ah!!!" The Marcus, scorched by nearly three‑thousand‑degree heat, let out a sickening scream.

The wail also contained a female timbre, confirming the system's claim of a hermaphroditic name.

In the end, before he could change form, Marcus became a charred corpse.

"Cough… cough cough!"

The thick smoke from the burning grenades made many STARS-B Team and SWAT members cough incessantly, but it didn't affect the Alphas wearing 'Octopus Head'.

Even Sui Bian, whose body already possessed super‑soldier qualities, was the same; meanwhile, the system reminded him in his mind:

【Detected abnormal phenomenon: James Marcus's death.

Congratulations, host, for completing the challenge mission, you have earned the reward for this mission, 200 points.

Host's current points: 360.】

Hearing the system's report, Sui Bian could be certain Marcus was dead for good.

Immediately, he contacted the Red Queen via his earpiece: "Let RPD escort our technical staff into the mountain area, contain the bodies, and retrieve all data from the two underground facilities."

"Yes, sir." The Red Queen's voice remained cold as she replied.

After ending communication with the Red Queen, Sui Bian sheathed his Warrior Blade back into the gun holster at his waist, then withdrew from the underground facility escorted by a group of Alphas.

Although, under the Red Queen's guidance, all zombies and B. O. W. s inside the facility had been cleared, for safety Hank still led the remaining combat personnel for a final check, providing the technicians a 'green' working environment.

Next.

The more than two hundred police officers sealing the mountain area began to shrink the quarantine line, ensuring no remaining zombies or Zombie Dogs in the mountains.

The nest's technical staff, equipped with masks, respirators, gloves and protective suits, were escorted by thirty police officers as they drove to the manor and the Cadre Training Institute.

The technicians began to contain all B. O. W. and T‑virus by‑products (zombies) corpses, as well as the charred Marcus, and retrieve paper files and local hard drives from the two facilities.

When combat personnel exchanged fire with zombies, Zombie Dogs, and various B. O. W. s, the Red Queen used the surveillance of the two facilities to record all combat data.

In the game, Wesker wanted to hand over the experimental data of STARS fighting B. O. W. s to Umbrella's rival company to boost its own value.

The combat data can effectively reveal B. O. W. strengths and weaknesses, allowing researchers to perform targeted upgrades, which is extremely costly.

However, Sui Bian has no intention of selling it; he plans to let the nest's researchers use this combat data to refine the Tyrant T‑103 model.

This way, when encountering anomalous phenomena of unknown properties in the future, they can dispatch a superior Tyrant as a vanguard, minimizing human casualties.

The cleanup will take at least three days; Sui Bian first returns to Raccoon City to discuss the STARS ownership issue with Eliot.

In the game, STARS members except Wesker, Chris, Jill, Rebecca, and Barry all received lunchboxes, but that doesn't mean the other STARS members are weak.

According to the setting, STARS is an elite hand‑picked force, and through Sui Bian's close observation, B‑Team members' skills and shooting accuracy far surpass SWAT.

Yet compared to the Alphas, there's still a considerable gap.

Even so, STARS remains a rare elite, not to mention the two 'protagonists' Chris and Jill.

According to his plan, after fully controlling Umbrella, he will reorganize the UBCS, discarding the dregs and keeping the essence.

He intends to select from the UBCS members loyal to the company and rich in combat experience and ability, then absorb the entire STARS to form a new unit.

The unit's nature will be like the MTF, and Sui Bian will also establish multiple MTFs to handle anomalous phenomena worldwide.
