Chapter 30: Surprise!
The Beta Hunter was blown into pieces of flesh, and the room was now filled with green blood.
"Um, go in and find the tape. I'll keep watch outside for you." Long Yuan glanced at the room with disdain, then looked at Carlos with a look of good for you.
"No, no, it's more dangerous outside. Let me do it, boss." Carlos waved his hands quickly, looking very loyal.
"Go quickly and stop talking nonsense. Are you the boss or am I the boss?" Long Yuan glared at Carlos and said impatiently.
He had to finish it quickly to meet Aunt Wang.
"Yes." Carlos went in dejectedly to look for the tape.
After a while, Carlos came out with a disgusted look on his face, holding a tape filled with green juice.
"Um, boss, do you think it can still be used after this?" Carlos found two pieces of paper on the ground and wiped the tape clean.
"Well... it should probably still be usable." Long Yuan said uncertainly.
Then the two of them returned to the door of Dr. Bud's office and put the tape into the player.
The tape clicked for a while before it began to play.
"I just want to know, what happened to those files in your office in the first place?"
"Who do you think you're talking to? I'm Nathaniel Budd. I'm the most amazing biologist you've ever met, and you're a nurse who can only change urinals."
As soon as the tape played to the point where Dr. Bud said his name, a cold, robotic female voice came over the intercom , "Voiceprint matches. Welcome back, Dr. Bud."
Seeing the door open, Carlos walked into the room first with guns in both hands, cautiously, and Long Yuan followed closely behind.
"Boss, there's no one here." Carlos walked around the room and saw no one.
"Search this room and you should find some clues." Long Yuan said as he picked up an opened letter from the table.
Dear Dr. Budd:
You are cordially invited to a banquet at the Grand Central Hotel on September 10th to discuss Raccoon City's new Specialized Medical Zone (SMZ). In attendance will be Mayor Mike Warren, Officer Brian Irons, and other distinguished members of the community.
September 10, 1998 (Thursday) 6:00 PM Oriental Restaurant
Central Hotel II
Your participation is our honor
Yours sincerely, U.S. Senator Greg Tester
[Handwritten notes]
Nate, I'll be introducing your new drug bill in mid-August. Bring cash.
As usual, we've booked a suite for after the party. You like brunettes, right? I'll tell Irons.
"Tsk tsk, this old man is really good at having fun." Long Yuan shook his head and threw the letter casually.
"Boss, come and take a look." Carlos seemed to have found something on the computer in the room.
This is an email that says:
To: Greg Tester Subject: Please reply immediately
Greg, I know you're watching the news. This virus will consume this country, and the dead will flood the Capitol like a tsunami. You are not safe now. But because you have always been my friend, I am willing to show you a way out.
I have a vaccine for this virus. It's the holy grail! It's not for my family, or the women around me.
No, Greg, it's for you. You're the key to America's survival, and I know that better than anyone. But if you want this, you need to get me out of this place now, without Umbrella finding me.
Put pressure on the Pentagon for me. I know this won't be a problem for you. See if anyone can get a search and rescue team here without the involvement of the biological countermeasures team. You help me, and I'll help you. This will be a piece of cake compared to what we used to do at banquets. Hurry, I don't have much time left.

As soon as the email reached the last page, Carlos subconsciously clicked it, the email disappeared, and a video appeared in the center of the computer.
Dr. Budd appeared inside.
"I am Nathaniel Budd, director of the Center for Viral Research , September 29th. I sincerely hope that this video will help the public understand the truth."
"It's still possible for me to salvage a little bit of my reputation. The disaster that happened in Raccoon City this time was all due to... the leak of a biological weapon called the T-Virus."
"My employer... Umbrella Corporation created this virus, and under his orders, my team developed this vaccine."
"I have some samples of the vaccine in my office and the rest are in the basement."
Having said that, Dr. Bud suddenly looked up at the gate nervously, as if someone was attacking it.
Long Yuan smiled. If his guess was correct, it should be him who attacked. It seemed that Dr. Bud was still in this room.
Seeing that the door had not been breached, Dr. Bud turned back and continued speaking.
"But those bastards at the top of the company actually want to destroy the vaccine. They want to hide what they did. They plan to destroy all evidence of the virus..."
Dr. Bud glanced up again. "But I'm not that stupid. I know they won't let me..."
Dr. Bud suddenly stopped talking. From the video, we can see that he nervously ran to the cabinet opposite the computer and hid there. Then he seemed to remember that the computer was not turned off, so he quickly ran out and turned it off. The video ended here.
Long Yuan and Carlos smiled at each other.
"Ah! Boss, it seems that Dr. Bud is not here. Let's look for him somewhere else." Carlos said loudly as he walked towards the cabinet.
"Oh, it seems that Dr. Bud is really not here. Let's go." Long Yuan did the same as Carlos.
They walked to the cabinet and each of them grabbed a handle.
At this time, Dr. Bud in the cabinet heard the conversation outside and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then felt a little proud.
"Humph! Umbrella Corporation, no matter how powerful you are, you are still fooled by me."
After saying this, Dr. Bud was about to go out. The two people outside felt the cabinet door tremble slightly, nodded at the same time, and suddenly pulled the cabinet door open.
"Surprise!" they both shouted at the same time.
"You, you, oh my!" Dr. Bud first pointed at Long Yuan, then at Carlos, and suddenly rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Uh." Long Yuan and Carlos looked at each other. They originally just wanted to scare the old man, but who asked him to be so troublesome?
If the door had been opened at the beginning, they wouldn't have had to spend so much time looking for the tape there, but they didn't expect the old man to be so easily frightened.
"Boss, what should we do?" Carlos stood aside, not knowing what to do.
"What should we do? You scared the person, so you are responsible for waking him up. I give you two minutes." Long Yuan said unreasonably.
