Chapter 45: Capital Dominates
After getting the advanced bracelet, the two returned to the central iron pillar. With a sweep of the bracelet, the bridge leading to the west district was built.
As soon as he entered, he found another USS person lying in the corridor. There was a videotape at his feet. Leon picked it up, thinking he might find something in it.
Continuing forward, we arrived at the first room, the biological testing laboratory.
Inside they found William Platinum's computer and some emails he hadn't had time to delete.
William Platinum's Mailbox
From: Jenny Doerr
Subject: Stop the development of the G-Virus
Umbrella Corporation decided to halt all G-Virus research in its underground labs, completely halting funding for the project and dismissing William Platinum, the lab's director.
Sender: BE Subject: Untitled
Dr. Burken, thank you for your letter.
The top management is very interested in the evolving biological weapons you mentioned.
Don't worry about funding, as we are the best-funded company in the United States.
From: Richard Kosler
Subject: Congratulations
I heard G is almost done, that's great news.
It's strange that you never take the initiative to report to the experimental laboratory at Umbrella headquarters...
But I can let that go. Anyway, send the data over quickly, okay?
Don't worry, you did a great job on G, and we will take care of the rest .
From: Jenny Doerr
Subject: Warning Notice
You are suspected of violating your contract with Umbrella Corporation. It has been found that you claim ownership of the GJ project.
Please respond to the subpoena from the Investigative Committee within 24 hours.
"Why is the government involved in this? What do they want the G virus for? To start a war?" Leon was a little excited. After all, he worked for the government.
"Look at it this way. In this beautiful country where capital reigns supreme, there's nothing they can't do as long as there's enough profit."
Long Yuan said this with a sarcastic smile. A democratic country would drop a nuclear bomb on a city with a population of more than 100,000 people just to destroy the evidence. Haha, it's really democratic.
"No, I believe there are still righteous people in the government. When I get out, I will join these people and fight against biochemical viruses for the rest of my life."
Lyon quickly cheered up and made such a grand wish.
Long Yuan looked at Leon deeply. Although he hated him a little in his heart, this kind of ideal really made him hard to hate.
"I believe you will succeed." Long Yuan smiled and patted Leon's shoulder heavily.
"Thank you." Leon smiled and clapped back at Long Yuan, but Long Yuan dodged it and looked at the ceiling while whistling. Leon staggered because of this dodger.
Fortunately, he managed to steady himself in time and avoided falling. Standing up, Leon stared at Long Yuan with resentment.
Long Yuan couldn't stand being stared at anymore, so he quickly changed the subject, "Hey, there's a TV here, let's play that videotape."
When faced with serious matters, Leon put aside his resentment and walked over to put the videotape into the player.
After a burst of hissing sounds, the picture appeared on the TV.
Long Yuan pulled over a sliding chair and sat on it. He took out a bag of potato chips from his backpack and started eating them with a crunch.
Leon looked at Long Yuan with a dark face. Are they watching a movie? He shook his head, ignored Long Yuan, and focused his attention on the TV.
Judging from the shooting angle, this should have been taken by the camera on the wall. In the picture, William took out the G virus from a cylindrical storage device and put it in a suitcase with a panicked look.
"The G virus has been discovered." A deep male voice said.
Then the screen flashed for a moment, and the camera changed from the camera on the wall to the body cameras of the USS troops.
On TV, a USS soldier was squatting in a ventilation duct, looking through the iron mesh at his two comrades walking down below. When they walked below him, he also jumped down from the duct.
Three guns were pointed at William.
"Dr. Platinum, please cooperate and come with us." A man who looked like a captain said. If Long Yuan guessed correctly, he should be the Grim Reaper Hank.
"Do you think I didn't know you were coming? This is my life's work, and I won't give you anything."
As William spoke, he put his hand inside his white coat, as if he wanted to take something out.
"Dr. Platinum, we are just following orders." Hank slowed down his tone and comforted William, fearing that he would do something extreme, because their mission was to bring William back alive.
"I'll ask you again..." Hank walked forward slowly, and suddenly William took his hand out of his white coat.
Hank was startled by the action and pulled the trigger, causing blood to splatter all over William's body.
"Stop! Don't shoot!" Hank shouted anxiously.
But it was too late, William fell to the ground.
A team member went up to check and sighed.
Hank's gas mask face appeared on the camera, "What the hell were you thinking! Our orders were to capture him alive!"
Hank's voice was filled with anger. He wanted to kill the camera, but then he thought about it. His subordinates would have to cry and admit their mistakes no matter how treacherous they were. Besides, it was still unknown whether the camera could return safely. After all, he was Hank the Grim Reaper.
He still has to clean up the mess made by his subordinates.
"Sir, we're in, but the old situation happened again. The target is resisting, and we have to kill him," Hank said into the headset.
"That's right, sir. Got it, sir. We'll just take the samples back." Hank breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the superiors did not pursue the matter and just asked them to take the vaccine back as soon as possible.
"Let's pack up." Hank said and took the lead to leave.
A team member picked up the suitcase and began to retreat. The camera stared at William lying on the ground for a long time before leaving. He always felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
The picture ends here.
"I hope there are still vaccines left, otherwise it would be a wasted trip." Lyon looked grim.
"Yes, this government made people rebel but did not protect their safety. It's really... hehe." Long Yuan sneered.
Leon didn't say anything. He knew it was the government's fault, no, it was Umbrella Corporation's fault. If they hadn't studied the virus, none of this would have happened.
At this moment, Leon decided that the first thing he would do after getting out was to find a way to bring down Umbrella Corporation and bring the murderers to justice.
"Okay, let's go. Those people only took away samples. There should be one or two left in the laboratory." Long Yuan said affirmatively.
"Well, let's go. What if it's really as you said?" Leon nodded in agreement.
Long Yuan curled his lips and said, "What do you mean if it's just as I said? I have played games before, and there is a G virus lying in the laboratory waiting for you to marry it."
