Chapter 22: The Plague

Built in the airport lobby above asylum No. 1;

It is both neat and bright, with a black and white distinct yet typical Umbrella decoration style.

A thin male researcher in his fifties, dressed in a white lab coat, was standing in a hallway and waiting.

Dr. Corson Dilson, is in charge of the No. 1 Containment Center, and has with him a wealth of knowledge and research experience.

And dozens of security personnel also stood guarding Dilson. They were wearing dark blue combat uniforms with a red and white umbrella logo, helmets and face shields, and a dazzling array of weapons and equipment hung on their body armour.

The equipment of security personnel is stronger than that of the standard armies of all countries in the world, but it is far from UBCS and USS.

You must know that UBCS's combat uniforms are semi-closed and have good anti-cutting functions, and the combat value of UBCS is above 90.

How does that compare with USS?

It's no match.

Every USS spends money to get it out, which is not comparable to a 'miscellaneous' such as security.

Similarly, Victor, who is responsible for escorting the plague doctor, and the other five UBCS, and the three tyrants are also waiting here.

Everyone stood behind the exit of the airport bridge, and an atmosphere of tension and excitement filled the hall. Because it is connected to the covered bridge, it is the private plane of Umbrella's business owner, William Russell.

*Tread*

Soon, the sound of numerous footsteps came from the covered bridge.

Alpha squad led by Hank walked out first, and they stood fan-shaped at the exit.

William in a windbreaker, and Halsey, who is dressed casually, are the last to come into the hall through the covered bridge.

Seeing this, the security and UBCS salute loudly: "Boss!"

"Hmm." William nodded and motioned: "At ease men."

"Yes!"

Then, William focused on Victor.

He saw that Victor had short hair, and looked to be over 30 years of age, a sturdy face, and a natural military temperament.

William then didn't talk to Dilson first, instead he came to Victor and waited in front of UBCS and praised: "Captain, it's true that I handed over the first containment mission to you. I am proud of you."

"Boss, this is our duty!" Victor and UBCS both straightened their chests in response.

"Ha ha."

William smiled slightly, reached out and patted Victor on the shoulder, then glanced at the UBCS and said: "In view of your company's outstanding performance, you are definitely not interested in bonuses. Then give your company the title of 'Wrecker'."

"Yes!"

Listening to what William said, the UBCS seemed to be more excited.

Indeed, they have been assimilated by the system and have not much interest in money, and have absolute loyalty to William. And being able to get a name from the boss for the company is enough for them to brag among all levels of personnel for a lifetime.

William looked at Victor again and whispered: "Captain, from now on you are the major and the commander of operations in the west. The three tyrants have also been handed over to you wreckers, don't let me down. "

"This…"

Victor was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly reacted and solemnly said, "Boss, please rest assured."

"Huh~"

At this time, Halsey covered her mouth and opened it, and said lazily in a urging tone: "Boss William, hurry up, I can't wait anymore~"

"You, you." William shook his head helplessly.

Then led her to Dilson and said, "Okay, Doctor, take us down."

"Yes, boss."

Dilson, who had been waiting for a long time, did not complain, and led the way for William, Halsey and others.

After receiving the reward, Victor and other UBCS commanded the three tyrants to leave the hall and head to the parked CH-53E super stallion to return to Alberta.

Due to the limited space of the elevator, only Hank and the other six members of the Alpha team were riding with William and others.

Soon after, everyone came to an underground shelter with a layout similar to a honeycomb.

When heading to the control centre here, Halsey, whose expression turned serious, asked Dilson: "The doctor is dressed up like they are from the Middle Ages, have you ever had a conversation with them?"

Dilson faced Halsey, who was more than 30 years younger than him, and replied respectfully: "According to the boss's instructions, we numbered him 049, nicknamed the plague doctor."

"049?" Halsey rolled his head and glanced at William behind him.

And William just shrugged and didn't explain much.

Dilson did not pay attention to the little movements of the two of them, and continued: "After learning that the doctor, you and the boss are coming, we did not interrogate them privately yet."

"Doctor." William succeeded Halsey and asked Dilson, "Is there anything in the containment centre that needs to be reported back?"

Upon hearing this, Dilson told William: "The D-class personnel who were escorted yesterday seem to have a strong sense of resistance. We tried to first persuade them by ensuring their food and clothing would be safe, and promised that if other D-class personnel are sufficient, they will not be used as experimental materials. But they still resisted violently and tried to escape, but they were easily subdued by security personnel. "

"Hmm." William said nothing.

In fact, he proposed to Halsey a plan to modify his memory a few months ago.

However, she has not been able to thoroughly study the technology of memory for the time being.

According to her explanation...

A clone is like a blank piece of paper, which can easily write various pasts.

But the memory of normal people is very messy scratch paper.

If you try to erase or modify....The best consequence of clone is it becoming a vegetable.

So William can only make those survivors become D-class personnel.

Sympathy?

Not allowed.

After a short while, everyone came to the control room of the asylum centre, Hank and Alpha stayed outside to be on guard.

Hanging on the central screen is the picture of the interrogation room, while the plague doctor is reading the notes, sitting on the side against the wall.

William and Halsey came to the screen side by side and ordered Dilson: "Okay, send some researchers to talk to him."

"Yes, boss."

...

The following content is the first interrogation No. 049:

(A researcher approaches the room and sits opposite 049.)

049: (Using a magnetic voice, speaking standard English) Oh, has it finally started.

Researcher: What started?

049: Haha, don't worry about it...

Researcher: Very good then, I'm Dr. (Data Redacted)...

049: (Interrupts, slightly excited) Doctor? Were you the one to try and cure those three patients? You must have very good medical skills, it is also very helpful to my own research if you could share your attempt at treatment of the plague.

Researcher: Three patients? Plague? I do not understand.

049: (In a tone showing a little lost) It seems that you are not the doctor, what a pity, what a pity....Well you see the Plague...Um... (the fingers of the left hand beat the table rhythmically), what's it called...I just...(sigh) Oh, forget it. It can be seen everywhere, and many people have already succumbed, and more people will succumb in the future. But me...And I have devoted all my life to finding a cure for it.
