Chapter 33 The Seventh Night
Chapter 33 ·Seventh Night
One day passed.
And what follows is a new day and a newer day.
The situation in Raccoon City is still deteriorating in the eyes of ordinary people. It is different from the original world line because of the indirect influence and interference of the reincarnations. Before reaching the ground zero, a large portion of Raccoon City citizens had already fled the city. And the news that could have been suppressed by Umbrella also spread in the surrounding towns. Even if the American authorities were blind led by a group of deaf people, they should have been aware of the changes in the city.
They must have known.
But they choose to pretend they don’t know.
Although the people of America have freedom of speech, they also have the freedom to commit suicide. As for the world view of Resident Evil, which is mainly based on movie settings, Umbrella is a force that has deep roots throughout the country, is rich in funds, and is a behemoth of the super-transnational Concern... It is really difficult to be like in the game setting. It was forcibly separated and erased because of a mere crisis in Raccoon City.
They can't.
But they may not want to do that.
Outside of Raccoon City, Kasumi learned a lot of information by hacking into Umbrella's relatively primitive network system of this era - she knew that there were military mobilizations in many areas outside of Raccoon City. . America's stock market is also beating up and down strangely like the electrocardiogram of an epileptic patient. In addition, various personnel changes, political turmoil, and even global diplomatic conflicts are emerging in endlessly.
This means a conflict, a war, a disaster, and a huge storm that, combined with the subsequent plot, will inevitably sweep across the entire Resident Evil world. At this moment, Raccoon City is the calmest eye of the storm.
How many forces are watching Raccoon City? --have no idea.
How many forces are trying to destroy Umbrella? ——Countless.
Huge creatures are always an eyesore, and there are always ambitious guys waiting to enjoy them. However, they were destined to suffer painful failure because they did not expect that Umbrella would be so crazy as to destroy and reshape the human world. I don't even know that Umbrella can really do that.
Umbrella really has irresistible weapons of super mass destruction in his hands, and has used them without restraint. Even if Raccoon City has not yet reached the ground zero, it has already been leaked into nature and created a T that does not know many types of derivatives. It is destined to make the world run in the direction of overthrowing and starting over.
The Samsaras have done a lot, but in fact, the members of the Central Continent team who are still in a weak growth stage have not really changed anything. There may be some people who should have died because of this, but it should be useless for the overall situation.
Should it be useless...?

"There is something wrong inside Umbrella. I received intelligence that there was a small-scale, but high-intensity firefight in the original hive - that is, the area where the mansion is disguised outside. There are very few people who know about it, and Umbrella Ra's control over Raccoon City also declined during the same period of time - I don't know if this is the main god's independent adjustment of the plot, but if nothing else happens, when the tenth day is over, the situation in Raccoon City should be. It’s roughly the same opening as the second movie.”
On the afternoon of the seventh day, the reincarnators had cleared several dangerous gathering places before that. Garbage dumps, power stations, water purification plants... these areas should all have a role in the Resident Evil game. There are many powerful mutant creatures with different specifications, but they can barely be regarded as regional bosses. Unfortunately, the reincarnators basically only encountered some ordinary biological monsters there that were not much of a threat.
Zombies, mutated zombies, young lickers - these are the things that reincarnators encounter. It doesn't take much effort to deal with them, and of course, there won't be much gain.
So, at the approaching dusk of the seventh night. An action meeting was temporarily held in the stronghold.
"Dr. Kane is still in his residence, and little Angela is still in school. However, there have been several confrontation-type battles near the area where they are. Obviously, whether Alexia exists or not, we can It is determined that Umbrella’s current internal personnel issues are related to the Ashfords, and this means that if we try to get close to those two areas, we will be involved in the internal changes of this giant company.”
Jiang Yu said as he drew the distribution of power on the map on the wall of the stronghold. Of course, this information was secretly gathered by Yuxia during the rest time of the reincarnations. And Kasumi's credit was his credit, so he took them all for his own use without any scruples.
He drew a circle on the church next to the stronghold, and another circle on the Umbrella Research Center. Next was the slightly distant Ashford Villa and the area where Raccoon City Middle School is located. He placed two huge crosses at the corresponding locations on the map.
Umbrella's control over Raccoon City has indeed declined. The decline is because they have used their new strength to accumulate the two coordinate points of the confrontation, so that other places have been relatively ignored. Even the originally heavily guarded Raccoon City Research Center had its security strength reduced due to the redeployment.
"We have nowhere to go." Jiang Yu clicked on the two circles. "In the next three days, we can only go to the church and try to get the priest's family's branch. Then before the last day, we go to the Raccoon City Research Center to get the items we want or solve the triggered branch tasks. And then continue to fight until we can leave this world."
This is a commonplace argument. For such a big picture arrangement, other people have nothing special to say. So, the next thing to talk about is the corresponding details.
"So..." Zheng Zha frowned first. "We go to deal with the church today. Then before the deadline on the tenth day... we just wait?"
"I personally think this is better. But my opinion may be one-sided." Jiang Yu spread his hands and asked: "So we have to hold this small meeting, which determines our next action strategy."
"We may really only be able to do this." Zhan Lan said, she looked at the information that Xia had found out about the armed forces currently entrenched near Ashford Mansion and Raccoon City Middle School. "Dr. Kane and his daughter are here, which means the forces behind them are at a disadvantage. The two of them are separated, but they are only under house arrest, which means that the party with the upper hand is not going to completely tear each other apart...
... The righteousness within Umbrella has not collapsed, and it is still fighting but not breaking. This means that if we really launch an attack on the research center, as long as the timing is not right, we will definitely become a compromise window to ease their internal struggle."
"The original plan to launch an attack on the ninth night... may not work. We may have to delay until the tenth day, when we are close to the return time point before we can engage in battle."
Returning to the past reincarnation world is different from returning to the 'real world'. The former does not require as much confidentiality as the latter, but it still needs to return to the main god space in a limited area. Descending from the base means that you must return from the base. And if the reincarnations are behind a large group of heavy firepower pursuers when attacking the Umbrella Research Center and are still some distance away from the return node, then the time of escaping back to the base and holding on to the end... will be very painful.
But there is a problem.
"Alice's awakening storyline began on the afternoon of the tenth day, and before that, she must have been asleep for a while. If we really go at the last time point, then the other party's research may have been completed. Even if we get the side storyline in the hard battle, we can't get the goal we want."
Silence, everyone was considering and thinking.
"Maybe... can we consider giving up this battle?" Zhang Jie, whose presence has always been low, finally couldn't help but say: "We have already made a lot of money and have gained enough training. And when we first planned to attack the Raccoon City Research Center, wasn't Umbrella's security here different from now? We can get the T fluid next time, or go to other places. But taking risks to get chestnuts from the fire... I don't think it's necessary."
He is indeed qualified to say so.
Because Jiang Yu promoted this return to the biochemical crisis, the banner was to help Zhang Jie and make up for the T fluid that only he lacked. And if he insisted on choosing to refuse, then it is indeed not necessary to carry out this round of operations.
Jiang Yu didn't speak, and Zheng Zha didn't either. Zhan Lan pursed his lips, and Mu Gang has always been taciturn.
Another round of silence... and this time the silence lasted for more than ten seconds longer than the previous one.
"Let's put this topic aside for now." Jiang Yu finally made a decision. "It will be night soon. Next, let's finish the branch of the church priest first."
He said. His proposal was not refuted by anyone.
There was still some time before night, and soon, the reincarnations separated and went to their respective areas to prepare for the night battle in their own ways.
Jiang Yu came to the top of the rooftop. He wanted to blow the wind a little because he felt a little stuffy down there. The current Zhongzhou team did not have a reason to go to the Umbrella Research Center to take risks. After all, the Lord God did not issue a mandatory mission, and the previous battle certainly honed the skills of the reincarnations, but also made them know their own weight.
——But, if you don't push yourself... how can you grow?
Jiang Yu thought, feeling the wind flowing from the outside of the Kashejin armor. He felt that he could still work hard, just some appropriate words...
A message suddenly appeared on the tactical terminal built into the helmet. Famous, it was Zheng Zha. Text message, not voice.
Zheng Zha: [Jiang Yu, is it convenient to talk about something now? Something more personal. ]
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, without making any noise. He just made a slight gesture, and Xia quietly appeared in a position where he could have an overview of the surrounding area, and then gave him a positive signal with her eyes.
Jiang Yu: [Convenient, there is no one near me. ]
Zheng Zha: [Do you feel... Zhang Jie is a little strange? ]
Jiang Yu's fingers trembled slightly.
Strange? Ha, this person can't be described as strange. He is a half-guide, and in the current reincarnation world, he is probably the strongest in combat power.
Jiang Yu: [Are you referring to the proposal made by Brother Zhang Jie just now? Well... it is indeed a bit conservative, but from the perspective of the overall interests of the team, it is not impossible to understand. ]
He thought that he felt that the secret in his heart was far from necessary to be exposed. After all, what if it was exposed? Even if he had a butterfly effect and increased the strength of the Zhongzhou team in advance, if he ran into Zhang Jie, who might not be very ruthless, the consequences would probably be bad.
He was just about to prevaricate.
However, the next moment, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out of their sockets!
Zheng Zha: [A few days ago, when we encountered those two crocodiles in the sewer. When I subconsciously turned on my bloodthirsty perception during the battle... I glanced at Zhang Jie for a moment. ]
Zheng Zha: [The feeling he gave me at that time... was as strong as a Tyrannosaurus Rex! ]
