Chapter 165 - Chapter 165: Creatures that Absorb Civilization

File continued.

Senior Agent Jame, who discovered 'The Thing', and Junior Agent Rebecca Chambers both survived the containment operation.

Agent Jame is also the first employee since Umbrella's inception to have been injected with both the 'Black Tyrant' serum and the nanoserum, and it is the first time the company has obtained combat records for the 'Black Tyrant'.

The following content is an excerpt from Jame's personal video:

First-person perspective.

Jame, holding a rifle with a grenade launcher attached, sprinted at an extremely fast pace through the hall, and the bottom left of the screen showed his magazine loaded with delayed-detonation rounds.

The rifle, equipped with a holographic sight, was aimed at the nearest 'person'.

"Bang!"

"Thud!"

The moment the bullet entered the 'person's' left knee, it exploded, scattering blood, flesh, and bone fragments.

"Bang bang bang!"

In an instant, Jame had emptied his magazine, pulled out an incendiary grenade, and threw it.

At the same time.

The 'people' who had been shot and fallen to the ground showed no signs of pain; instead, they immediately grew limbs of other creatures to replace their lower legs.

What made the viewers of the video even more disgusted was...

The lower legs, blown off by the explosive rounds, actually grew dense, small leg-like appendages on both sides, transforming into centipede-like creatures.

Although the ammunition couldn't kill them, it successfully made them cluster together.

"Boom—!"

"Roar—!"

The scattered flames from the incendiary grenade directly covered the group of creatures, and various ear-piercing screams erupted one after another.

Jame, however, relied on his extreme agility to move freely among these 'grotesque' creatures.

His target was a'security guard' whose head and limbs he had blown off, leaving only the torso.

This'security guard' had a complete flamethrower strapped to his back, and Jame needed a flamethrower to deal with these fire-fearing creatures.

During this time, 'The Things' also realized that they couldn't do anything to Jame if things continued this way.

They changed their strategy, each growing long, slender tentacles with sharp bone blades.

Only the sound of "whoosh! whoosh!" echoed through the video.

Those tentacles pressed towards the video screen like a net.

"Splat! Splat!" and the sound of flesh being pierced.

"Cough!" and the sound of Jame coughing up blood.

Finally, before the security guard, who was just a torso, could grow new limbs, Jame successfully obtained the flamethrower.

He then used the extreme physical prowess granted by the Black Tyrant to instantly 'escape' the main hall of the building, playing hide-and-seek with 'The Thing' creatures.

The darkness not only provided an advantage to 'The Thing' but also made it a home-field advantage for Jame, who was a scout by profession and equipped with agent gear.

141 'Things' were successfully eliminated by Jame, who was resource-limited and fighting alone, and then incinerated with gasoline by Jame.

Of course, as for the residual cells and blood, they needed to be disinfected and processed by Umbrella's cleanup crew and technical personnel.

Furthermore, Jame's right shoulder, abdomen, thigh, and both arms all sustained injuries of varying degrees, and the simultaneous injection of both nanoserum and 'Black Tyrant' serum caused irreversible damage to his body.

Final result:

Completely severed tendons in the right hand,

Permanent muscle tissue damage,

Kidney failure, requiring immediate transplant surgery.

And various other injuries of different severities.

No 'Thing' cells were confirmed in his body, proving that the nanoserum can effectively resist the erosion of various microorganisms.

Rebecca Chambers was transferred to the Phantom after this incident to assist Dr. Halsey in biotechnology research.

Appendix File: 'Antarctic Structure'

A disc-shaped structure discovered by a multinational joint scientific expedition at ■°S, ■°W, confirmed to be the spacecraft used by 'The Thing'.

Tests showed it crashed in the Antarctic region at least 100,000 years ago and has been frozen until now.

This indirectly indicates that after 'The Thing' completely absorbs a planet with life and civilization, it will travel through the universe to continue searching for life, propagating its civilization in this manner.

Because 'The Thing' can cause the disappearance of hundreds or even thousands of civilizations, Umbrella has elevated this creature from Keter class to Exafanistei class.

Furthermore, the company does not intend to study 'The Thing's' spacecraft to advance its own technology, as any form of activation could potentially trigger signal propagation.

The final result was that this spacecraft was completely destroyed on ■/■/2010, ensuring no one could study it.

In addition, the fact that 'The Thing' can survive for 100,000 years in frozen conditions reminded the company that when colonizing other planets, the first to be excluded are ice planets.

Even if the possibility of 'The Thing' existing is extremely low, for safety's sake, all ice planets beyond Jupiter's moon Europa in the solar system were abandoned.

...

Date: July 1, 2010.

Location: Umbrella General Hospital in Hafah City Center.

As a cover for the Hive's existence, the General Hospital has become a landmark building in Hafah City, boasting the world's top medical team and technology.

At the same time, it is also one of Umbrella's best tools for siphoning money from critically ill wealthy individuals.

The General Hospital provides free treatment to Umbrella employees, and Hafah city residents also enjoy extremely high welfare policies.

But for the wealthy from other regions and countries...

They are charged as much as possible, and everything is done at the highest price.

Don't pay?

Then die.

After all, Umbrella's medical technology, no exaggeration, is absolutely two centuries ahead of its time.

So, critically ill and elderly wealthy individuals would rather spend tens of millions to come to Hafah City General Hospital for treatment.

At this moment.

A large number of Alphas, dressed in suits, wearing earphones and sunglasses, gathered outside the recovery room on the second floor.

William, usually dressed in suit pants and a white shirt, was sitting by the bedside in the recovery room.

Lying on the bed was Jame, with multiple bandaged injuries.

As a senior agent of Umbrella, Jame naturally received the highest standard of treatment.

The Hive used Jame's blood for cloning, and then extracted the necessary kidney organ for his transplant surgery.

Today was the third day after the surgery, and Jame, who had been unconscious, also opened his eyes today.

Upon hearing this news, William immediately rushed to the General Hospital.

When the awakened Jame saw William, he weakly asked, "Boss... were those things... eliminated?"

"Don't worry," William said with a slight smile, comforting him. "The research station has been completely 'disinfected,' and that kind of thing has completely disappeared."

"That's good..." Jame even showed a hint of a smile.

But soon, sadness overwhelmed his face.

He sighed, "Boss... I can't continue fighting anymore. I... I've become useless, sigh..."

"You single-handedly prevented an Exafanistei anomaly; don't think of yourself that way."

While encouraging him, William also lightly patted Jame's left hand and said, "The company will not abandon talent like you. I will tell Dr. Halsey about your condition; she should have a way to help you recover."

"Boss? Is... is that true?" Jame said in disbelief.
