Manhattan, New York, on the rooftop helipad of Umbrella Corporation.
Under the cover of night, Matthew Lawrence was dressed in a black combat uniform, fully armed.
In front of him, the members of Alpha Team stood not far away, hands behind their backs, their expressions serious.
“Everyone, due to the fact that your Captain, Hank, has been injured, I will be leading this operation.”
“The objective of our mission this time is very simple: we need to secretly infiltrate the research facility, retrieve confidential company files, eliminate anyone who poses a threat to the company, and destroy any evidence that is unfavorable to the company.”
“Is that clearly understood?”
“Understood!”
“Very well! — Board the aircraft!”
“Yes!”
Upon the order, Alpha Team quickly boarded the aircraft.
In the night, the sound of the helicopter cutting through the sky seemed so insignificant that it drew no one’s attention.
Who knows how much time passed.
The helicopter landed in a remote area in the suburbs.
After landing, the group did not stop for a moment, quickly merging with the night and rushing toward the underground research facility located in Raccoon City.
Before setting off, Matthew Lawrence had already sent the map of the underground research facility to everyone in Alpha Team and had explained early on how to proceed.
Therefore, their operation went very smoothly, and they arrived outside the Base above the underground research facility without any effort.
Matthew Lawrence looked up at the five-meter-high perimeter wall covered in high-voltage electric fencing, then looked at the gate not far away guarded by only two people, and quickly made a decision.
“Hunter, you and the equipment stay up here and use the network to hack into the research facility’s internal network. Once the intrusion is complete, shut down all surveillance devices inside the facility.”
“After you finish all this, stay where you are for now and await my orders at any time.”
“The rest of you, follow me.”
“Yes! Officer!”
The team member named Hunter was an expert at hacking into enemy networks, and handling surveillance was a piece of cake for him.
Not long after, a response came through Matthew Lawrence’s walkie-talkie.
“Intrusion complete.”
“Move out!”
As soon as he spoke, two bullets instantly took the lives of the two guards at the door, without causing any splash.
With the death of the guards at the door, the group did not hesitate at all, rushing into the research facility like a pack of wolves in the night.
At this moment, the surveillance room was in chaos. The source of this chapter is g.com.
The personnel responsible for monitoring were already busy and drenched in sweat.
“Fuck! You bunch of trash! Why haven’t you found out what is causing the surveillance screen anomaly yet!! Why have all the surveillance screens turned into scenes from inside our own surveillance room!! Why are you people so useless! Whenever there is real work to do, you can’t be counted on for anything!! Fuck, fuck, fuck!!” A manager roared loudly at the personnel in the surveillance room.
Listening to the roaring in his ears, a middle-aged man with thinning hair quickly explained: “Supervisor, please don’t be angry…”
“Don’t be angry? Should I be angry at you instead?!” the supervisor retorted.
“I am giving you thirty minutes to restore the surveillance screens, otherwise, after today, you can all pack your bags and get out!”
The middle-aged man, who wanted to offer comfort but was snapped at, said no more upon hearing this and began to bury himself in his work.
However, this scene did not last long.
Soon, the originally bright surveillance room flickered twice and then plunged into total darkness.
The puzzled surveillance supervisor walked out of the room.
What met his eyes was a pitch-black corridor.
The power was out.
Or rather, the power supply had been cut off by someone.
Power supply room.
The team members looked at Matthew Lawrence, who was holding a gun and destroying the fuses, feeling very confused.
“Officer, what are you doing?” a team member asked.
“Destroying the fuses, can’t you tell?” Matthew Lawrence fired a shot and blew up a fuse.
“Only if we destroy the fuses will the people coming after us have the task of ‘finding fuses’ and ‘restoring power’.”
“…” It seemed this Officer had played too many puzzle games and had lost his mind a bit.
“Just kidding, destroying the fuses is just to create a little ‘malfunction’ to trigger their emergency protocols and distract their attention.”
After a few shots, Matthew Lawrence destroyed all the fuses in the fuse box.
The mission continued.
The power supply was cut, and the area above the Base was suddenly plunged into darkness.
The red alarm lights hanging in the corridor spun endlessly, the red light casting the corridor in a blood-red hue, and the continuous alarm sound made a sense of fear rise in people’s hearts…
Meanwhile, a team of armed security personnel, after Matthew Lawrence and his team cut off the power, began to rush toward this location!
Unfortunately for them, they ran straight into Matthew Lawrence and his team.
“Drop your weapons! Otherwise, we have the right to execute you on the spot!”
“Drop — Bang!” Gunfire erupted!
A bullet pierced through the speaker’s head…
Immediately after, the corridor turned into chaos!
But this chaos did not last long before Matthew Lawrence and his team stepped over their corpses and continued toward the mission objective. This story is hosted at g.com.
Inside the underground research facility, William Birkin looked at the message transmitted from above, his expression extremely ugly.
“Bastards! I didn’t expect this group’s operation to be so fast!” William Birkin cursed inwardly and turned to look at his wife, who was also a researcher.
“Annette Birkin, I have some bad news to tell you…”
“My premonition was correct; the people sent by Spencer have arrived… If I’m not mistaken, their mission this time is to take away all our experimental results regarding the ‘G-Virus’.”
“This is our life’s work; we cannot let them snatch it away just like that!”
“So, go quickly to the laboratory on the other side and destroy the experimental data.”
“And what about you?” Annette Birkin looked at her husband.
“I…” William Birkin hesitated slightly, then said decisively: “I am responsible for taking the G-Virus stock solution and samples. Remember, after destroying the data, take Sherry and leave immediately; this place is no longer safe!”
“But…”
“No buts! Go, Annette Birkin! Remember, I love you.” After saying that, William Birkin ran toward the laboratory where the G-Virus was kept without looking back.
‘Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!!
Spencer!
Do you think you can just snatch away the fruits of other people’s labor as you please?!’ William Birkin roared internally!
No!
Impossible!
The G-Virus is the result of years of my dedicated research; I cannot let you take it away just like that!
Rushing into the laboratory, William Birkin quickly packed the G-Virus samples into a briefcase.
But just as he was about to leave, the locked laboratory door suddenly unlocked with a “beep,” frightening William Birkin into quickly drawing his pistol from his waist and aiming it at the door.
Outside the door, scarlet light representing the alarm filled the corridor.
Against the backdrop of the flashing red light, a figure in a black combat uniform walked into the laboratory with his head held high.
“Let me introduce myself; I am Matthew Lawrence, the head of the Umbrella Corporation security department, and the Commander of this operation.”
“Dr. William Birkin… I’ve heard so much about you. If not for this mission, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet you.” Matthew Lawrence said, gently clapping his hands twice.
Immediately, two figures with panicked expressions and their hands tied behind their backs were pushed into the laboratory by other team members.
— It was none other than Annette Birkin and their daughter, Sherry.
Under the pale light, Matthew Lawrence looked at the pale-faced William Birkin and asked calmly: “Now, are you interested in talking?”
