Chapter 27: Doctor

Note in advance:

The author first brings up this abnormal phenomenon, which is somewhat similar to the setup in the previous book, but the author needs this abnormal phenomenon with extensive medical knowledge to give this book's Umbrella the 'Astate' and 'Sparta' (his screen time will increase).

After all, this book no longer has the original female lead, plans to develop technology steadily, and has greatly reduced the so-called daily life.

Old readers should be able to notice that this book is actually quite different from the previous one, and moreover this book has just begun.

Finally, thanks everyone for your support and tips~!

Room 407.

One bedroom, one living room.

The lighting is bright, the tables and chairs are neatly arranged, and even the aged, yellowed white floor tiles are kept clean.

Only in the center of the living room there is a homemade operating table, as well as various blades hung on the wall, plus some indelible bloodstains, and furthermore a person wearing a black robe…

There's an indescribable eerie feeling.

This 'person' stands beside the operating table, about 1.9 meters tall, wearing white plastic gloves stained with blood, and also wearing the robe's hood.

At this moment, this 'person' is holding a scalpel, performing some kind of surgery on the corpse lying flat on the operating table.

Beside this 'person' are eight Alphas aiming guns at 'him', Hank among them.

Due to limited space in the living room, the four Alphas of Team C are on guard outside the door, thereby supporting Teams A and B inside.

"Put down the scalpel, raise your hands!"

The Alpha standing beside Hank shouted loudly at that 'person', trying to make them stop what they were doing.

However, after the muffled roar due to the mask, that 'person' continued with their own procedure, completely ignoring the Alphas with live ammo around.

Seeing this, the Alphas stopped shouting at that 'person', instead gripping their MA5B rifles tightly, awaiting Hank's next order.

"Alphas, prepare the sedative gas." Hank ordered in a calm voice.

Upon hearing this, the two Alphas in the rear hung their MA5Bs on their chests and reached to take off the gas grenades hanging from their belts.

But…

"Lesjeunessontcalmes, attendezquejefinissel'opération (Young people, stay calm, wait for me to finish the surgery)."

That self-assured 'person' suddenly spoke, pausing the two Alphas' action of pulling the grenade pins.

Can we communicate?

Moreover, they spoke French, with a magnetic voice that gave a pleasant feeling, even making the Alphas think this 'person' was quite learned.

"Huh? You don't understand French? How about English?" Seeing Hank and the Alphas not responding, that 'person' switched to an archaic English with a 17th-18th century accent and said:

After saying that, the 'person' raised their hand and turned to look at Hank and the Alphas.

Now everyone finally saw the other's appearance; to be precise, it was the appearance of the 'mask'.

That 'person' not only had an accent leaning toward medieval, but also wore a 'beak' mask like that of a medieval doctor.

The mask's lens area disappeared, replaced by a pair of eyes with blue pupils, their gaze deep as if able to read others' hearts.

This medieval doctor's attire and mask seemed to be part of his body, except for the pair of white gloves stained with blood, which seemed like external clothing.

As the person in charge of this operation, Hank, who had seen all kinds of B. O. W. s, also did not expect such an abnormal phenomenon.

But the Grim Reaper is still the Grim Reaper; Hank merely showed surprise for a moment, then lightly shook his left hand to signal the Alphas to stay on guard, and then tried to communicate with that 'doctor':

"Hello, please raise your hands and remain still in cooperation with us, otherwise we will resort to force."

"Hehe." The 'doctor' gave a light chuckle, ignoring Hank's 'threat', turned back and continued the surgery, and said:

"Child, be patient, you need patience; completing this surgery will help me perfect the vaccine, so you and your colleagues will not suffer from the plague, children, absolutely do not disturb me now."

Watching the 'doctor' still doing as they pleased, even the Alphas, no matter how cultivated or disciplined, felt a slight urge to pull the trigger.

Understanding his subordinates' feelings, Hank did not issue a harsh order, but instead spoke softly into his throat mic: "Sir… yes, understood."

After saying that, Hank then surveyed the Alphas and ordered: "Continue to stay on guard, wait for this doctor to finish the surgery first."

"Yes, sir." Although the Alphas didn't understand, they still followed Hank's order.

Meanwhile.

Umbrella's Paris Headquarters.

The control center on the middle floor of the building.

The Paris Police have cooperated with us to seal off Chálándùn Street.

Paris's major media have also received our notice and will temporarily not pay attention to the situation in Chálándùn.

The follow-up troops have already arrived at Apartment 26 and are currently assisting technical personnel with the 'cleaning' work.

Inside the control center there is a constant stream of reports.

Just look at the employees in black T-shirts and work pants sitting at their computers, watching their screens and reporting in real time.

Above the control center hang several large screens, showing the situation on Chálándùn Street from multiple angles, and one screen displays the footage of that 'medieval doctor's' surgery.

Meanwhile, Sui Bian, wearing a dark red shirt and dark gray suit, furrowed his brows slightly, propped his right elbow with his left hand, and lightly pinched his chin with his right hand as he stared at the upper screen.

'049.'

Sui Bian, via the Alphas' helmet cameras, saw those zombie-like abnormal phenomena, and upon seeing the 'medieval doctor' at that moment, guessed it was the 049 recorded by a certain foundation.

He was still somewhat familiar with this strange doctor 049.

Although possessing the 'instant death' ability and also the ability to create pseudo-zombies, it can be calmed using lavender.

Moreover, as long as 049 does not detect a 'plague', it remains quite friendly toward researchers of that foundation.

Since 049 is willing to communicate with the Alphas, it seems 049 also wishes to cooperate after the so-called 'surgery' ends, so Sui Bian ordered Hank to wait a moment.

But what worried Sui Bian was that discovering 049 meant this world also contains items, phenomena, and spaces from that foundation.

Good fellow, he exclaimed 'good fellow'; originally he thought this world was 'Purgatory' difficulty, but now it has directly become 'Unmatched Shura'.

He slowed.

Sui Bian said calmly to the employee at his left, "In Colonel Fula Jimier's name, dispatch UBCS to the headquarters."

"Yes, sir."

"Also, send another team of technicians to Apartment No. 26, have them collect fresh lavender and lavender‑scented spray from the plant specimen room…"

"In short, bring plenty of lavender‑related items to help Alpha control the anomaly called 'Plague Doctor'."

"Plague Doctor…? Sir?" The employee was a bit puzzled, but seeing that Sui Bian ignored him, he simply nodded without further comment and said:

"Yes, sir."
