"The power to become a god is now mine."
With those words, Albert Wesker broke free from the shackles that Spencer had imposed on him. He snapped Spencer's neck. Having done all this, he stood in place, unmoving.
Spencer said he was the future, but Wesker didn't think so. He never knew what the future was. He'd been lost for a long time, ever since Spencer had controlled his life from the very beginning. He was just a puppet, and even when the puppeteer died, he didn't gain what was called freedom.
At that moment, the study door was kicked open. Alice, who had been waiting, charged in with fully armed soldiers.
Seeing Spencer lying on the ground, her eyes narrowed. Then, she spoke to Albert with a fierce expression.
"You killed him?"
"Do you think he had any reason to live?" Albert saw a familiar face and responded with a cold laugh.
He knew Alice, or rather, anyone who had been a high-ranking member of Umbrella knew this woman.
He was a weapon Umbrella had high hopes for. But with Umbrella's collapse, this weapon had fallen into the hands of others, and was now targeting its former masters.
"It's not up to you to decide whether he lives or dies. He is the culprit behind Umbrella. He will face judgment from the world. You are not qualified to make that decision for him."
"I'm not qualified?" Albert sneered, his laughter growing louder until his face became contorted with a vicious expression. "Besides me, who else is qualified to decide his life or death? You?"
Alice, her face cold, pulled out her gun and aimed it at Albert. Her eyes were filled with barely suppressed fury, which gave Albert immense satisfaction. Being hated was also a form of existence.
"You've gone mad, Albert Wesker. I'm arresting you now on charges of crimes against humanity. You can choose to resist, but I think you should know what the consequences of resistance are, right?"
"Of course!" Albert slowly raised his hands in front of the fully armed soldiers. "I surrender!"
Alice stepped forward and shoved him, pinning his hands behind his back and cuffing them. Although she hated the people of Umbrella to a certain degree, it was difficult for her to kill someone who had given up resistance. And she felt that rather than killing him, letting him enjoy two thousand years of imprisonment would be even more satisfying.
So she shoved Albert hard, and sneered coldly.
"A good choice. I'll visit you in prison every few years. Don't worry, if I die, I'll have my children continue the visits."
"That's great, isn't it! At least someone will remember I exist." Albert laughed as well. He didn't mind being mocked; victory and defeat, the victor has the right to do as they please. That was always his creed.
"Take him away!" Alice waved her hand angrily, and the soldiers immediately pushed Albert away.
Alice, however, didn't leave. She looked at Spencer's body lying on the ground. Only after a long time did she contact her superior.
"Sir, Spencer is dead!"
"Dead?" Coulson's voice immediately came through, filled with surprise and bewilderment, then it became urgent. "Alice, did you kill him?"
"No, sir. It was Albert Wesker, one of Umbrella's former high-level executives. He has been arrested and is being escorted back."
Hearing this, Coulson breathed a long sigh of relief. He was truly worried that his subordinate had lost control and done something so big. He wasn't worried about being held accountable for what Alice had done; he was used to taking the blame for his subordinates. He was worried that if Alice had done it, her future would be ruined. Agents who didn't follow the rules couldn't last long. He understood this very well.
"As long as you weren't involved, Alice. Umbrella is finished, and the culprits have already gotten their just deserts. So, I hope you can let it go. Your life is still long, and there's no need to waste it on revenge."
Coulson spoke earnestly, but Alice didn't seem to be listening carefully.
"Sir, I'll bring Spencer's body back. Also, if there are any other missions related to the T-Virus, I'd like to be involved."
Coulson opened his mouth, and after a long while, sighed and said, "Alright, come back first. I'll look into it."
"Thank you!" Alice said flatly. Just then, a loud explosion came from outside. She quickly looked out the window and saw a fireball bursting in the clouds, followed by countless debris falling from the sky with flames.
From the shape of the wreckage, Alice could clearly distinguish that it was a Quinjet. The Quinjet was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s exclusive weapon. So, it was obvious that the one that crashed was one of the two they had brought.
"Sir, we're under attack. The plane holding Albert Wesker has been destroyed. I suspect there's another group nearby, and they've rescued him. We need support, sir!"
Alice reported the situation in a timely manner. Only two vigilant soldiers were with her at the moment. Her manpower was completely insufficient. If those hidden guys attacked them, Alice wasn't confident she could protect the few remaining subordinates.
"Understood. Stay put. I'll send reinforcements immediately. Remember, safety first." Coulson said, then the communication went dead. Alice knew he was arranging a rescue, so she hung up directly and joined the ranks of the vigilant.
All they could do now was wait. But for Albert, he had a choice to make.
He was currently in the cabin of a plane, which was swiftly moving through the clouds, heading in a direction he didn't know. In front of him, a man was looking at him and smiling.
"Hello, Mr. Wesker. I believe this is our first meeting. I apologize for the shock."
Albert touched his hands, which had just been freed from handcuffs, and glanced at the soldiers standing on either side of the man. These two soldiers had previously worked for S.H.I.E.L.D., represented by Alice, but in the blink of an eye, they had killed their comrades and brought him onto this plane. This made him very curious. He wanted to know which organization had the ability to go up against S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Who are you? It's not an ordinary organization that can penetrate S.H.I.E.L.D."
The man smiled, inviting Albert to sit down. He courteously poured a glass of wine for Albert, and then slowly explained.
"Our organization has a long history and a very close relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., and like them, we've always been hidden behind the scenes. You don't need to delve too deeply into our history; you just need to know that we share the same goals as S.H.I.E.L.D., but we have different ideas."
"S.H.I.E.L.D. is foolish and blind. We, on the other hand, are very clear-sighted. Humans are pathetic creatures; they need a strong figure to stand before them, to lead and protect them, so that they can feel happiness and live better in this world. They need a protector, a guide. And our purpose is to act in that role."
"Cut off one head, and two more will grow. That is our slogan. We take Hydra as our symbol, so you can call us Hydra!"
"Hydra?" Albert, as the representative of the New Humans chosen by Spencer, naturally possessed extremely high intelligence. From the man's words just now, he recalled some very secret information. "Weren't you defeated by Captain America? Why?"
"My friend, have you forgotten what I just said?" The man's smile was full of pride. "Cut off one head, and two more will grow. Hydra will not die; we only declined for a period of time with Hitler's demise. And now, it's time for us to make a comeback."
A super organization that once served under the warmonger Hitler was revived, and it had even extended its tentacles into the body of the behemoth that was S.H.I.E.L.D. This kind of energy made Albert a little speechless. Compared to Hydra, Umbrella was simply not on the same level.
"So, what do you want from me?" Albert asked, he had already guessed the intentions of this group of people. But he still needed to confirm it.
"We know that Mr. Wesker is a very rare talent, and talents like you are exactly what we urgently need. So when we knew you would encounter some small troubles, we took the liberty of coming to help you, and at the same time, to let you see our sincerity."
He pointed to the soldiers beside him, their uniforms still stained with the blood of their fallen comrades.
"We need your help. Mr. Wesker, your abilities, and your research on the T-Virus. These are what we require. And if you join us, we'll give you rewards beyond your wildest dreams. Power, wealth. These are not a problem. Hydra never mistreats its own, especially those with talent!"
"Of course, we won't force you. We just hope you'll make a careful decision!"
At this point, the man crossed his legs, his fingers clasped together as he looked at Albert with a smile, seemingly waiting for his response. Behind him, two soldiers had silently raised their guns. His meaning was clear. Cooperation, or refusal. Naturally, the consequences would differ depending on the choice.
Albert watched everything silently, and after a moment, he smiled and raised his glass.
"Why not? I'd be happy to join you."
"Excellent, Mr. Wesker!" The man clapped his hands with a laugh. "You won't regret this. Hydra never lets people down! Welcome to Hydra!"
The two ambitious men clinked their glasses together, signifying that a long-hidden behemoth had finally revealed its claws. And no one knew about this situation.
The world is changing, and it's changing fast. No one knows what kind of darkness lies hidden beneath this raging storm. By the time it reveals itself, it's often too late.
