Zhou Ye spoke, his voice transmitted through the loudspeaker in the control room, echoing in the slightly oppressive space, sounding exceptionally clear and calm.
"He wanted to use this method to confirm the true nature of our base."
"Use the lowest possible cost to test the limits of our current defense system and the configuration of our core personnel."
Zhou Ye tapped his fingertips quickly a few times on the virtual keyboard of the control panel in front of him.
In an instant, a detailed three-dimensional structural diagram of the station's interior, as well as real-time status data of each key defense unit, was clearly displayed on the main screen in front of him.
"Those mechanical soldiers destroyed on the periphery are probably not even appetizers in his eyes."
The "cleanup" he promised the survivors is now truly beginning.
The arrival of Doma, this uninvited guest, officially signaled that dealing with the pursuers had become even more difficult.
Chapter 75: The truth comes out, the pretense is over.
Nami moved her wrist, and her joints made a slight cracking sound.
She curled her lip, a hint of disdain on her face.
"Hmph, what a cunning fellow."
“They’re not like those idiots at Umbrella who only know how to create monsters with brute force.”
This assessment was naturally directed at the uninvited guest on the ground, Doma.
She turned to look at Zhou Ye, her amber eyes questioning him.
"Boss, what should we do now?"
Saeko Busujima's grip on the hilt of the sword did not loosen in the slightest. Her senses were sharper, and she could perceive that Doma's unsettling power was gradually seeping in.
Zhou Ye's expression, however, was unusually relaxed, as if the threat on the ground was just a trivial interlude.
"What to do? Just leave it as is, of course."
He shrugged, speaking casually.
"There are no outsiders here, and I'm not going to pretend anymore. I'm coming clean."
"Anyway, we've got everything of value in Raccoon City."
Before he finished speaking, the gate to the [Imaginary Space] behind Zhou Ye, where the train had disappeared earlier, began to fluctuate again, but it did not fully open.
Immediately afterwards, several spaces nearby rippled like water, and several squads of fully armed mechanical soldiers marched out in orderly steps.
They appeared silently, still carrying the scent of battle.
Unlike before, these mechanical soldiers were dragging heavy metal boxes, while others were carefully carrying gleaming objects.
The box was opened, and a dazzling golden light mixed with the brilliance of jewels instantly spilled out, making it hard to open one's eyes.
Gold, diamonds, and all sorts of gemstones whose names I don't know (like 647) were piled up like mountains.
After buying Gao Cheng's gold and silver jewelry from Raccoon City for free, Zhou Ye set his sights on several other stores.
In addition to these hard currencies, there were stacks of sealed stocks and bonds, as well as bundles of brand-new cash.
What surprised Jill and Nami even more was that some of the mechanical soldiers were carrying exquisitely packaged designer handbags for women, as well as mobile clothes racks filled with fashionable garments.
Those styles were from the luxury brands that Shizuka Marikawa was most fond of.
Jill stared at the sudden appearance of gold, silver, jewelry, clothes, and designer bags, speechless for a moment.
Her mind went blank for a moment. She pointed at the piled-up valuables, then at Zhou Ye, her voice trembling.
"You, you actually dared to openly offer free purchases in front of me, a police officer?"
"This...this is robbery!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye raised an eyebrow, revealing an expression of utter certainty.
"if not?"
"Where did the $20,000 given to the survivors come from?"
He pointed to the valuables.
"It can't really be something I conjured up out of thin air, although I can certainly do that."
"Since Raccoon City is going to be destroyed anyway, these things will just turn into ruins if left here, so we might as well reuse them."
"Besides, Umbrella Corporation has been plundering the people's wealth for so many years, and I'm just helping the citizens of Raccoon City get back a little interest in advance."
Nami's eyes lit up as she looked at the jewels, a pleased smile curving her lips.
"The boss is right."
“These were originally unclaimed items; we simply redistributed the resources reasonably.”
She has already started considering which gemstones would be suitable for making jewelry.
Jill opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found that Zhou Ye's words seemed to have a bit of a fallacy.
Raccoon City is beyond saving.
Whether it's to erase evidence or to prevent further spread of the virus, this city is destined for destruction.
These riches, left here, will ultimately only be buried.
Instead of that, using the money to help survivors start a new life doesn't seem... unacceptable.
She shook her head, trying to temporarily suppress her ingrained police mentality.
Even so, this is still too much...
"too exaggerated."
She could only manage to squeeze out this one sentence.
Zhou Ye smiled and didn't dwell on the matter.
He walked toward a mechanical soldier carrying a metal briefcase.
"Alright, now that the spoils have been inventoried, it's time to deal with the aftermath of this city."
His tone shifted, becoming somewhat cold.
“We’re here to tell Umbrella that times have changed.”
"The biological weapons they are so proud of and have painstakingly pursued are, in my opinion, nothing special."
The mechanical soldier opened the briefcase, inside which lay a syringe filled with a pale blue liquid.
A cool aura emanated from it.
"This is antiviral serum for the T-virus, found in William Birkin's underground laboratory. A battle took place there, during which William Birkin..."
A mechanical soldier reports in a completely emotionless electronic voice.
"His wife, Annette Birkin, and daughter, Shirley Birkin, have been safely put on the train that just left; they will be properly cared for. This is the G-virus serum that Shirley Birkin was wearing on her waist, and this is a data report about Dr. William's research in collaboration with the demon, which mentions research on demon blood and the T-virus and G-virus, as well as research on demon blood itself."
Zhou Ye nodded in satisfaction.
He picked up the vial of serum and examined it closely.
[Herrscher of Reason Fragment + Mumu Fragment] were quietly activated.
The pale blue serum began to undergo a visible change in his hands.
The color gradually deepens, from light blue to dark blue, and then from dark blue to an almost black color.
Countless tiny runes seemed to flicker inside the liquid, emanating an aura more ominous and deadly than the T-virus itself.
The originally cold serum now had a strange "activity".
"The original antiviral serum is too slow and incomplete."
Zhou Ye weighed the "improved" medicine in his hand.
"If we want to restore peace to this city, we must do it all at once."
"T-Virus Death Agent, Enhanced Version, Freshly Released."
He handed the potion, which exuded an aura of destruction, to the mechanical soldier next to him.
"very good."
"Then, let's use drones to completely rid this zombie-infested city of its hustle and bustle."
With his words, the Imaginary Space opened once more.
This time, what emerged was not combat units, but rather rows of uniquely designed drones.
These drones are not products of existing technology; their bodies are also covered with complex patterns constructed by Zhou Ye using fragments of the Herrscher of Reason and Talking Tom, shimmering with a faint energy glow.
They were so numerous that they quickly filled half of the underground platform.
Each drone carries a specially designed container on its abdomen, containing the lethal agent that can instantly kill all T-virus infected individuals.
"The ability of the [Herrscher of the Void Fragment] is surprisingly useful in this situation."
Zhou Ye murmured to himself.
No complicated launch procedures or long flight paths are required.
With a thought.
As if they had come to life, the drones silently started up one after another, transforming into streaks of light that pierced through the dome of the underground station and flew to every corner of Raccoon City.
They appeared precisely above every street, in every square that had once been teeming with corpses, and in every building complex shrouded in death.
Then, the death potion fell evenly, like fine raindrops.
Silently.
Raccoon City, ground level.
The neighborhood, which had been somewhat deserted due to the evacuation of survivors, is now still teeming with tens of thousands of zombies.
They roared aimlessly, dragging their broken bodies, chasing after any trace of life.
Sudden.
A zombie that was staggering forward suddenly froze.
