Today, I took my son to the hospital, and after we returned, I had to comfort him for a long time because he was still feeling unwell.
I can only update once today, I hope everyone understands.
However, the book has been successfully signed, so you don't have to worry about it being abandoned.
So, everyone, please support it with peace of mind!
Bookmarks, recommendations, rewards, and so on, none of them can be missing!
...
After about ten minutes, Alice and the others, who had enjoyed food, water, and treatment, finally began to believe that the person indeed had no ill intentions.
With the addition of food, water, and fruit, the group, who had just survived a life-and-death ordeal, finally relaxed a bit.
"Liu, how is Carlos?" Alice, who was waiting outside, quickly walked up to ask as the person came out of the medical room in the vehicle.
After carefully throwing the blood-stained gloves into a special trash bin and washing his hands, Liu said with a serious expression:
"Alice, his condition is very bad. If he doesn't get the antiviral serum, I'm afraid..."
"What should we do then?" Alice asked anxiously, looking through the door of the medical room at her friend, who was being guarded by two armed robots.
"The simplest way is to give him a bullet, but I know you definitely won't choose that option," Liu continued before she could speak:
"So the only remaining method is to find a way into Umbrella's laboratory and get the antiviral serum."
"You mean..." Alice quickly understood and said.
"Exactly, since there were Umbrella people present just now, there must be their laboratory nearby."
"I had someone check the computer left by Umbrella and found the coordinates of their laboratory."
As Liu explained, the display on the wall of the vehicle quickly showed the location of Umbrella's nearby experimental base.
"You mean this is Umbrella's base?" Alice asked, looking at the abandoned building on the screen.
"Yes, to be precise, it's deep underground," Liu nodded and said.
"What about Carlos?" Alice, who had experienced the Hive, naturally had no doubt about this answer.
What she was most concerned about now was not only how to obtain the antiviral serum but also how to keep her friend Carlos Oliveira alive until then.
"Don't worry, although I can't treat this viral infection, I can delay its onset," Liu said and then led her into the medical room.
"Alice, I heard there's food. Can you get me some?" Carlos Oliveira, whose shoulder had been bandaged, forced a smile as he greeted her after their long separation.
"Carlos, you'll be fine," Alice said with red eyes, sensing the sadness and despair in his words.
Liu, standing to the side, had to shake his head and remind her:
"Alice, the longer we delay, the worse it is for Carlos. You can talk to him later after we succeed."
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Alice nodded, suppressing her sadness.
"Alright, Carlos, I know what you're thinking," Liu said, not giving Carlos Oliveira a chance to speak, and pressed a button on the wall.
"Stop talking nonsense, lie down here quickly."
As the smooth wall opened to the sides, a semi-cylindrical transparent pod soon slid out.
"Lie in it?" Carlos Oliveira asked hesitantly, looking at the pod that had opened automatically.
"Yes, if you don't want to turn into one of those things outside before we get the antiviral serum, lie in it," Liu urged, rolling his eyes.
"Carlos," Alice nodded at her friend.
"OK," Carlos Oliveira, realizing he had no choice, lay down obediently.
After the pod closed and sealed, a layer of frost quickly formed on the transparent cylinder as Liu operated it.
"What is this?" Alice couldn't help but ask, watching her friend lose consciousness and become frozen.
Liu, who had put the cryo-sleep pod back into the wall, said without hiding anything:
"This is a cryo-sleep pod, which uses low temperatures to almost halt bodily functions."
"Currently, this technology is not very advanced, but for now, this is the best we can do."
"Not advanced? What side effects will there be?" Alice asked, worried.
"Compared to the T-virus, these non-fatal side effects are nothing," Liu said teasingly, knowing what she was worried about.
Looking at the wall that showed no sign of a seam, Alice fell silent for a moment before shifting the topic to how to obtain the antiviral serum.
"What's your plan?" Alice asked, walking out of the medical room and looking at the screen.
Liu enlarged the image and pointed to the abandoned building on the screen:
"The plan is simple. First, drive the vehicle close to the target, then use the electronic equipment on my vehicle to block the electronic signals in that area."
"Then send my subordinates to break through the front door, gain access to the base as quickly as possible, and clear out the Umbrella personnel in the laboratory."
"However, before that, we need to find a way to get past the zombies outside and avoid alerting the people inside the base."
"What do you plan to do about that?" After some thought, Alice asked, admitting she couldn't think of a better plan.
"Follow me," Liu said and walked out of the vehicle.
Soon, the two of them were outside the vehicle. The closer they got, the more they could feel the towering and imposing presence of "Optimus Prime," especially since this was an enlarged version.
Liu and Alice's actions naturally caught the attention of K-Mart and the others.
"What's going on?" K-Mart asked, walking up to Alice.
"Let's see first," Alice said, shaking her head.
After Liu operated the mini-computer on his left forearm and pressed the confirmation button, the sound of a sealed container opening was heard.
Soon, one of the top sections of "Optimus Prime's" vehicle began to open slowly.
Then, a mysterious and imposing object floated out of the opened section.
"What is this?!" Though she knew it was likely some kind of aircraft, Alice couldn't help but ask.
"Bugatti Veyron luxury transport vehicle, but I modified it a bit," Liu said with a smile, watching his carefully prepared weapon slowly land on the nearby ground.
"Transport vehicle?" Alice asked in surprise, unable to associate the object with a transport vehicle.
The other survivors standing nearby also had similar expressions.
"It's just a name, don't worry too much about it," Liu said seriously, not intending to explain further:
"Later, you'll ride this transport vehicle directly into the base. I'll send five of my subordinates with you."
"I'll handle the hacking of the base's computer system from the vehicle."
"However, even with my subordinates, this plan is still very dangerous. You should consider it carefully."
"I'll go!" Alice nodded firmly, without any hesitation.
As for the person who seemed to be avoiding the danger, Alice didn't mind.
After all, he wasn't idle; he still had to hack into the control system of the Umbrella base.
In terms of importance, it was no less significant than her leading the team into the base.
As for whether the mysterious person would do anything improper, Alice naturally had her precautions.
"Alice, where are you going?" K-Mart asked, worried, not knowing what was happening.
"Alright, I'll leave this to you. I'll go and make some arrangements to avoid any problems."
Liu, not wanting to explain further, returned to the vehicle alone.
Actually, in Liu's original plan, he didn't intend to go to the world of "Resident Evil 3: Extinction" so soon.
After all, this world was almost extinct.
But who could have predicted that the research on "Divine Blood" had reached a critical stage, and the real Umbrella in this world had excellent biotechnology.
Cloning, memory transfer, biological weapons, and even artificial intelligence—these areas were valuable even to Liu, who had been to "Elysium."
However, the most crucial part was the research on "Divine Blood."
If the effects of "Divine Blood" could meet the expected results, Liu would be able to escape the grim situation of having to "fear for his life" in every world he entered.
A few minutes later, Alice, who had finished her arrangements, walked into the vehicle.
"Decided?" Liu asked, not turning around, as he was trying to hack into Umbrella's satellite through the computer.
"Decided," Alice nodded and said.
"What do you plan to do with K-Mart and the others? I can ensure their safety for a while, but not forever," Liu asked, turning around after handing the hacking task to the AI.
"If this mission fails, I hope you can take them to Alaska," Alice said, prepared for failure.
Liu looked at her for a while before nodding:
"I can't promise anything, but I'll do my best to ensure their safety."
"That's enough," Alice nodded, knowing she couldn't ask for more in this situation.
Liu, somewhat surprised by her trust, suddenly smiled and said:
"Alice, aren't you afraid that I might have some ulterior motives like Umbrella?"
"Afraid!" Alice answered straightforwardly, then pointed to her temple and said with a bitter smile:
"But we have no choice, and this tells me that you indeed have no ill intentions."
