The medical conditions in the wild were too poor.
Rebecca, as a combat medic and healer, couldn't provide much effective treatment for Javier.
She could only pry open Javier's teeth, take out a tube of painkiller, and pour it down his throat, then help loosen Javier's thick clothes to dissipate heat, trying her best to wake him up quickly…
After hearing that Javier was not in too much trouble,
Billy Coen nodded.
This was already a blessing in disguise; as for the unconsciousness… they hadn't rested for a long time either, so they decided to let Javier sleep well this time!
Taking advantage of this time,
Billy didn't waste it.
Instead, he meticulously searched the underground Institute.
In some rooms, Billy encountered a few zombies and Leech Men, but Billy easily dealt with them.
Because he now had the M1911 Handgun and the large-caliber Desert Eagle, these usually troublesome monsters became much simpler to handle at this moment.
Not only that,
In this underground Institute,
Billy found a lot of evidentiary data.
The underground Institute was sufficiently confidential, so the information here was also straightforward.
Most of it was Umbrella Corporation's research projects on Resident Evil BOWs.
It recorded the research and experimental processes of various Bio-weapon BOWs, including the dosage of T-Virus used in the experiments.
Even the experimental process of Hunters, which combined human and animal embryos, was clearly documented, and there were even handwritten approval signatures from some Umbrella Corporation executives.
Some black and white experimental photos and X-ray transparencies were also present, all showing images of grotesque monsters.
Although there were no video tapes, if these documents and films were leaked, as long as the Raccoon City Police Department noticed something unusual and investigated Umbrella Corporation slightly, they could uncover its wicked deeds!
Therefore,
In Rebecca and Billy's view, these were the best pieces of evidence to pull the Umbrella, the former world pharmaceutical company, down from its pedestal.
As long as these evidences were made public, Umbrella Corporation would be immediately overthrown and receive the punishment it deserved!
But unfortunately…
Rebecca and Billy didn't realize
how far Umbrella Corporation's reach extended.
While it appeared to be an international pharmaceutical company on the surface, its private assets behind the scenes were ridiculously vast.
Colluding with officials and governments everywhere was a common tactic, and it could even privately hoard its own armies and firearms.
Such a pharmaceutical company,
could no longer be eliminated merely by exposing its crimes.
The entire United States… apart from the United States Government, there was nothing that could sanction Umbrella Corporation itself.
In fact… if Umbrella Corporation was willing to hand over all its experimental results and cooperate with the United States Government, it could even undergo an even more absurd second whitewashing.
All the past sins would be erased…
This was the power and foundation of Umbrella Corporation.
Once the evidence Rebecca and Billy found was leaked, it would only cause them trouble and be in vain, especially since even the Raccoon City Chief Brian had been bribed.
What good would this evidence be?
As the saying goes, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
These documents and films could not reach the United States Government; they would be like a mud ox entering the sea, a resistance without a ripple.
Javier understood this truth, but unfortunately… he still couldn't wake up—
…
And after an unknown period of time,
approximately an hour and a half,
Javier, who had rested for half a day, finally started to slowly twitch his eyelids.
Although he had taken painkillers, Javier still felt as if his body had fallen apart, completely devoid of strength.
"Ugh…"
A painful, hoarse murmur escaped his throat.
Javier, with a splitting headache, then struggled to open his eyes.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment of the arsenal around him, Javier initially thought he had been reborn and transmigrated again, but when he saw the big heads of Rebecca and Billy Coen, Javier realized that he hadn't died.
However,
Looking at their worried expressions,
Javier couldn't help but pretend to be confused and asked:
"Wait…"
"Who am I? Where is this… and who are you?!"
Three questions in a row,
Rebecca and Billy Coen's joyful expressions changed.
They thought Javier had suffered severe memory loss due to a violent head impact and a serious concussion, but they hadn't expected… this was just a joke from that heartless scoundrel, Javier—
Chapter 52: James Marcus
The sudden words
caught Rebecca and Billy Coen off guard.
Their expressions instantly changed, immediately becoming very flustered.
They quickly shook Javier's shoulders and asked anxiously:
"Wait!"
"Javier, do you really not remember us? I'm Rebecca, he's Billy!
We just fought side by side; please don't scare me!
Even a concussion couldn't cause such severe amnesia.
Quick, tell me this isn't true!"
Rebecca's slender arms,
were gripping Javier's shoulders, shaking him vigorously and excitedly.
Her small face was full of worry, because Rebecca was genuinely concerned about Javier's head suffering any mishaps.
After all, as a medic, Rebecca knew that concussions could cause amnesia, but such severe amnesia was something Rebecca couldn't believe.
Even Billy Coen's face instantly darkened,
looking very grim,
because he also couldn't accept such a fact.
Uh…
It seems I've taken it too far.
On the other side, Javier looked at Rebecca and Billy Coen, whose expressions were terrifyingly grim.
Javier then realized that his playful joke had gone too far.
After all, Rebecca and Billy were almost convinced, and if he continued to act, he would likely be subjected to a beating.
"Cough, cough…"
"Well, I'm actually fine.
I was just joking.
Sorry… I didn't think you two would actually believe it.
I apologize!"
Very sincerely,
facing Rebecca and Billy, whose faces were so dark they looked like they could wring water out of them, Javier said with an extremely awkward expression.
His voice was trembling, fearing that these two might suddenly act on their anger and directly beat him, the scoundrel who loved to joke around.
Rebecca: "…"
Billy: "…"
Ah… take my Ultimate Rising Dragon Punch—!!!
However,
even so,
Javier still couldn't escape a good beating from Rebecca.
Soon, a series of scolding shouts echoed throughout the entire Bio-factory.
It was a pity that there were no surviving zombies left here, otherwise, they might have poked out their rotten, hideous heads one by one to watch the show.
…
Ten minutes later—
Rebecca, the little girl, clapped her hands with satisfaction, indicating that the recent stress release felt very good.
At this moment, Javier was covered in several footprints, and his handsome face also bore a few punch marks.
Although Javier was in a sorry state, Rebecca stated that he deserved it.
Who told this scoundrel to love joking so much, especially such dangerous jokes? It was simply unforgivable, and this bit of physical punishment was a small price to pay!
"Cough, cough…"
"Let's talk about serious matters, Rebecca, Billy, have you two found any useful clues in this Bio-factory?
Is there no exit here yet?"
Feeling his body, which was about to fall apart, gradually recovering under Rebecca's massage techniques, Javier slowly got up, patted his dirty butt, and scanned the surroundings with his eyes, asking in confusion.
This underground Institute,
was no different from the previous facilities.
It was a huge factory, filled with various instruments and equipment, piles of all kinds of data.
In the corners, there were also some container materials, etc.
This should be a secret Institute specifically set up by Marcus in the early days, requiring a cable car and a lift platform device to reach it.
Just this point alone,
could deter countless intruders.
If you weren't an insider, you simply couldn't enter this secret underground Institute, which explains why, apart from the Prototype Tyrant, which was an existing boss, there were hardly any other zombies down here.
Because when the virus leaked,
there were very few personnel hiding in the underground Institute.
Therefore, apart from the massive amount of documents, there were only a handful of ordinary zombies.
"I'm not sure either,"
"But Rebecca and I found a lot of documents here that can be used to prove Umbrella Corporation's heinous crimes of researching Bio-weapons.
Once we take them out, they will definitely expose Umbrella Corporation's ugly true face."
"As for the exit, I found what appears to be a lift tunnel over there, a lift platform specifically used for carrying people and transporting materials, but I'm not sure if it leads outside.
We can go check it out later."
The person who answered was Billy Coen.
While Javier was unconscious, Billy Coen had roughly explored the entire underground Institute, casually clearing out some of the remaining zombies.
This also allowed him to discover many secrets of the underground Institute.
Among them was a tunnel lift platform,
much like the entrance to a mine used for mining.
The lift platform could ascend diagonally to the upper position, but whether it led to the surface was something Billy Coen didn't know.
They would need to investigate it themselves.
"Oh, right,"
"Besides these… I also picked this up, a new large-caliber handgun.
Now our firepower is much more sufficient."
Speaking of this, Billy seemed to have remembered something and quickly handed the large-caliber revolver tucked into his waistband to Javier, speaking calmly.
Taurus "Raging Bull" Revolver—
It was a silver revolver, generally similar in appearance to Javier's M500 Revolver, equivalent to a smaller barrel version.
Both had rubberized black grips and thick, cold silver muzzles, but the actual barrel was not as long as the M500 Revolver.
It was a high-power handgun that could be tucked into a pocket rather than a waistband.
A large-caliber, powerful revolver developed by the Brazilian company Taurus, it used.35,.44, and.45 caliber ammunition.
Its power was only slightly inferior to the M500 Revolver.
It was considered a divine weapon in the early Resident Evil games.
In the game, it was the Magnum that could ultimately defeat Marcus, the Leech Queen, the final boss.
Because of its immense noise and power, it was also known as the "Raging Bull"!
Compared to the M500 Revolver, the barrel of this gun was significantly shorter.
If a young hero had astonishing arm strength, it was indeed possible to achieve the ultimate stance of dual-wielding like Swallow Double Eagle!
Billy found this weapon in a corner of a container in the Bio-factory, as if someone had accidentally lost it there.
It contained three rounds of ammunition.
Billy Coen had just tested its power and found it to be very good, much stronger than the M1911 Handgun Javier had given him from the cable car corpse.
After all, their purposes were different.
The firing power of a revolver is definitely much stronger than that of a traditional semi-automatic handgun; this is unquestionable!
And looking at the silver revolver before him,
Javier was also very emotional.
This gun was probably the divine weapon used to finish off Marcus in the game, but unfortunately… it probably wouldn't be needed for that guy this time, because he had already brought Marcus a big, thick, black, and hard African banana.
That's right,
it was the kind of black African banana Javier specifically hired African Old Bureau to transport, requiring a 28-inch bicycle to travel at high speed on asphalt roads, then transferred to a discarded truck that had been scrapped for ten years but was still in its breaking-in period, finally reaching Javier's hands.
One big banana down the throat,
would definitely choke Marcus to death—!
…
Meanwhile,
just as Javier and the other two were preparing to regroup, pack their things, and head to the lift platform Billy had mentioned, Marcus in the secret monitoring room watched all the images on the monitor with a grim expression.
He had thought that by sending Mutated Leeches to bite through the Prototype Tyrant's nutrient solution glass tank and completely releasing the Tyrant, he could perfectly eliminate these three rats.
But what Marcus had completely unexpected was…
Javier and these three rats not only didn't die at the hands of the Prototype Tyrant, but they even counter-killed the Prototype Tyrant.
At this moment, Javier and the other two were like having eaten expired rat poison but still jumping around provocatively in front of Marcus, making Marcus, as the Leech Queen, incredibly furious!
As the master of the Institute's territory,
he would not allow Javier and the other two to challenge his dignity in such a manner!
"Heh heh…"
"You damned stinking rats, just you wait.
I will definitely make sure you die here completely.
You learned my secret, and yet you want to escape as if nothing happened?
There's no such good thing in the world.
Just you wait and see!"
"I will let my most precious little darlings gnaw away at your flesh and blood little by little, leaving nothing behind, including all your bones!"
Clenching his pale fists tightly,
looking at Javier and the other two on the screen, Marcus in the secret monitoring room muttered with a ferocious and indignant expression.
Then, a cold glint appeared on his feminine face, and his pale, slender hand violently smashed the monitoring screen.
"Pfft—!"
Sparks and white smoke rose,
and the monitoring screen was instantly destroyed.
At this moment, the Leech Queen Marcus turned around furiously, and with a swirl of her flaxen long hair, her white-robed figure silently disappeared within the secret monitoring room.
Following closely behind… was a large mass of densely packed, pitch-black Mutated Leeches, leaving large puddles of viscous liquid stains in the monitoring room.
…
Tunnel Lift Platform—
After a short while,
Javier and the other two arrived at the place Billy had mentioned.
There was indeed a lift platform set up here, surrounded by concrete tunnel walls, truly resembling the entrance to a mine.
This lift platform ascended diagonally, so Javier and the other two were unsure of the situation above and could only proceed one step at a time.
