Colorado, Raccoon City.
Luke and Ada Wong walked along the bustling street. Just by looking at the exterior, one could not tell that this prosperous city would eventually become a zombie playground.
Ada Wong introduced the situation of the city to Luke, having already prepared the details in her mind.
"Starting in the 1960s, the Umbrella Corporation invested heavily in Raccoon City to assist in its modernization, transforming this desolate town of only tens of thousands of people into a fully equipped industrial city."
"To this day, every industry in this city is under the jurisdiction of Umbrella. Even the mayor and the Police Department Director are, to a certain extent, directly controlled by Umbrella."
"Raccoon City is nominally under federal jurisdiction, but in reality it has become the private reserve of the Umbrella Corporation, practically a state within a state."
Luke said thoughtfully, "It sounds a lot like the Ten Rings organisation."
Ada Wong nodded slightly, "They even have their own private armed forces, including attack helicopters and heavy firepower."
Speaking of this, Ada Wong joked, "If Umbrella wanted to revolt, Raccoon City would immediately respond."
"I'm not surprised by that at all. This is the natural state of affairs by the government."
Luke said with a smile.
Ada Wong took a phone call, then turned and said delicately, "I have confirmed through informants the small actions of Umbrella you mentioned earlier. Umbrella is preparing to conduct a special operation in Raccoon City."
"It is said that Umbrella and the Roxxon Energy Corporation have reached cooperation on certain levels, hoping that the latter can provide political support and legal assistance to the former."
"Roxxon Energy Corporation?" Luke murmured, finding the name somewhat familiar.
Ada Wong introduced, "This is a notorious international energy giant with a history spanning over a hundred years. Since the current Chairman and CEO, Dario Agger, took office, it has embarked on a frantic expansion model."
"The energy industry is its foundation, but it is also involved in arms, high-tech weapons, biochemistry, and other areas. In terms of reputation and capital strength, it subtly shows a trend of surpassing the Osborn Group."
"It is said that this company was also one of the early sponsors of S.H.I.E.L.D. Although it cannot compare to Stark Industries, it is still a transnational conglomerate that cannot be underestimated."
"Moreover, in order to expand frantically and without limits, this company specifically maintains a huge team of lawyers dedicated solely to handling lawsuits related to environmental pollution."
"A saying circulates within the industry: You can question Roxxon's morals, but you absolutely cannot question the strength of Roxxon's legal team."
Hearing this, Luke thought of some details.
It seems... the Roxxon Energy Corporation is a villain in the Marvel Universe?
This company not only continued to expand later on but even went into space to mine energy from planets like Jupiter and Vanaheim.
It is a mining company that would sell the Earth for energy.
"Pay close attention to this company, and also check if they have any connection with HYDRA."
Luke casually instructed, planning to have Thor and Sharon Carter investigate later.
Actually, the best candidate would be Tony Stark, but since Tony seems to have some issues, Luke is uneasy about him.
Ada Wong nodded, keeping it in mind.
"Right, is your intelligence organization trustworthy?" Luke asked an extra question.
Ada Wong lifted her face and said confidently, "Absolutely no problem. At least the sources of information are trustworthy. Of course, intelligence personnel are all motivated by money, so facts need to be filtered to distinguish truth from falsehood."
"My biggest source of intelligence is the Autobot organization led by the three sisters, Arcee, Clover, and Arcee. They are constantly collecting global intelligence, making it easy for me to determine the authenticity of the information."
"Hmm, not bad."
Although Luke didn't have high demands for intelligence, since Ada Wong liked it, he let her be.
And sometimes Ada Wong could provide some surprises.
"Tell me what you need. How about this: I'll transfer ten billion to you first. You can use it however you like."
Upon hearing about the ten billion in pocket money, even Ada Wong couldn't help but get heart eyes.
She patted her chest and promised, "Leave it to me! I will definitely put together the strongest intelligence agent force for you!"
Ada Wong was already thinking about what equipment to buy. Heavy firepower, missiles, everything must be included.
Later, she would also buy battleships and submarines.
"Everything matching S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
"According to intelligence, Umbrella's experiments in the Arklay Mountains area were obstructed due to certain irresistible reasons, and the biochemical virus is suspected to have leaked."
"In the past month, Raccoon City has repeatedly reported incidents similar to ghouls and serial murders, leaving the entire city in a state of panic."
"At the behest of Umbrella, the Police Department and the hospital jointly defined these similar cases as terrorist incidents and attempted to use the pretext of a serial killer to have the Police Department summon the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.) to the Arklay Mountains area to carry out combat missions."
"My informant told me that the Umbrella Corporation also dispatched a special operations team into that area, and at the same time the Roxxon Energy Corporation is also suspected of conducting special operations in Raccoon City."
"In addition, organizations including S.H.I.E.L.D., the FBI, and the CIA have also begun to infiltrate Raccoon City to collect evidence regarding the Umbrella Corporation's research into biochemical weapons."
Since the outbreak of the Busan biochemical crisis, South Korea's biopharmaceutical industry was suppressed by the United Nations, which obtained evidence regarding numerous biochemical weapons.
But the Umbrella Corporation was extremely cunning and left no evidence, and the few insiders who did exist were assassinated by unknown forces after the Busan crisis.
Therefore this huge blame was completely shifted onto South Korea's biopharmaceutical industry.
Although many details pointed toward Umbrella, when S.H.I.E.L.D. and other forces prepared to investigate further they were blocked by a large network.
Countless mysterious forces dragged their feet, organizations pulled against each other, and people within the organizations deliberately caused trouble.
In recent days, although the Umbrella Corporation has been greatly affected in various aspects, with some branches even being strictly monitored, it generally remains stable.
Under such dire circumstances it is reasonable that Umbrella would seek cooperation with the Roxxon Energy Corporation to gain assistance from the power behind it.
After all, the direct employees under these two giants number hundreds of thousands globally.
And the people who rely on them for their livelihood number millions.
The slightest mistake could trigger large-scale protests.
Without conclusive evidence, it would be difficult to directly condemn Umbrella.
Through this incident, Luke once again recognized the efficiency of the government.
It's almost the biochemical apocalypse, yet you people are still obsessed with rules and regulations.
It is precisely because of this situation that Raccoon City has clearly become the center of contention for all forces.
Luke had no doubt that the subsequent development of Raccoon City would completely deviate from the original plot due to the intervention of so many forces.
"Forget it. If things get out of hand, I'll just have the Shadow Legion execute all relevant personnel. Better to kill a thousand wrongly than let one guilty person escape."
Luke secretly shook his head. Just as he was thinking, a beautiful figure in a uniform appeared ahead.
"Rebecca, assemble immediately!"
