Raymond felt panicked and extremely uneasy about Umbrella's great crisis. However, he had no other emotions besides these. Even the only thought in his mind right now wasn't how to save Umbrella, but how to escape from this big ship.
The moment he saw the new type of fighter jets in the files, Raymond guessed where this suddenly appearing force came from. Only a country could have such power.
Umbrella, as a world-leading enterprise, only had a hundred or so armed helicopters in this city it built itself. As for fighter jets, that was something one shouldn't even think about. No independent country would allow weapons of war to be in the hands of others. To do this could only be described as humiliating the country.
So, it was obvious these troops came from the United States government. Only they had the courage and determination to do this. And the moment he figured this out, Raymond chickened out.
He cautiously looked around. Several of his confidants and some other people were standing nearby. He secretly made a gesture, and his confidants quietly moved behind those people. Then, a few crisp gunshots rang out.
Looking at the people lying in a pool of blood, Raymond showed no mercy or sadness on his face. He had become cold-blooded enough after so many years at Umbrella. No matter how miserable these guys planted around him were, they couldn't move him.
He just clapped his hands a few times, attracting the attention of his confidants, and said.
"Everyone, we can't stay at Umbrella anymore. They can't tolerate us, and we don't need to die with it. There are government people involved outside, and they are clearing out Umbrella's forces. And the guys at Umbrella still don't know this. They are still thinking of throwing a nuclear bomb here, using a nuclear power plant explosion to cover up everything here. Regardless of the outcome, Umbrella is completely finished."
"I don't want to be a rat chased by everyone, and I don't think you want to end up that way either. So, we must find a way out."
Speaking of which, he pointed at Jill on the screen.
"This is our way out. Using her as leverage, we can get what we need. Once we leave this city before the nuclear bombs fall, any country in the world will invite us to join them. Because we have what they need the most."
The Super Soldier Project had become his last ambition. Losing the power he had cultivated in Umbrella for years already cut him to the core. If he had to give up his wealth as well, he'd rather die.
He wanted a life of luxury and enjoyment, so he had to have the capital to strive for it, no matter what. And he had taken Zhou Yi's Super Soldier Project, which was compiled based on guesswork, as his only lifeline.
He had to get it, even if it meant risking everything. Because if he didn't want to have nothing, he could only rely on this.
"Now, tell me what you think," Raymond said, drawing his gun. He needed people who would share his hardships, not those who would stab him in the back. This was why he had eliminated the spies planted around him in the first place.
Someone hesitated, quietly taking two steps. This movement immediately triggered attacks from those around them. At this moment, no one would show mercy; letting one person go was handing their own lives over to others.
So, the unlucky guy quickly collapsed to the ground.
Raymond, who had witnessed everything, finally exhaled in relief.
"Alright, everyone. Let's move out. There's a mountain of cash waiting for us!"
The black Panther was ultimately no match for the Hunter. It wasn't that its physical attributes were lacking, but rather that no matter how strong its body was, it couldn't withstand the damage from modern weaponry without reaching a qualitative change.
The Hunter's Vulcan cannon could easily tear through its muscles and fur, despite the Panther's agility and superior strength. However, it couldn't win. The gap in equipment was too great for an animal to overcome.
After a series of dense bursts of fire, it fell to the ground. Its heaving chest indicated that it wasn't dead yet, desperately trying to survive.
Its strong vitality allowed it to linger, but that was all it could do.
Jill stood in front of the Panther, and she didn't look optimistic either. A ghastly wound appeared on her arm, and the wriggling flesh buds indicated the result of a viral infection.
She held Zhou Yi's large-caliber revolver, aiming it at the approaching Hunter, but she didn't fire. It wasn't that she didn't want to or dare to fire; the gun was out of bullets. This was the only weapon she had that could harm the Hunter. She had seized every opportunity, but it had only been enough to wound it.
And now, she had no more chances.
The giant Panther lifted its head, letting out a threatening roar at the approaching Hunter. However, neither the weak roar nor its body, which couldn't even stand, posed any threat anymore.
The Hunter stepped forward, its thick gun barrel rotating, ready to tear these two lambs to shreds at any moment.
"Alright, stop." A voice came from behind. This voice immediately made the massive Hunter become as docile as a kitten, stopping in place. At this moment, Raymond and his confidants emerged from the shadows behind the Hunter. He looked at Jill, who was standing there with a face full of hatred, and laughed.
"Don't hurt the lady; she's our future security."
"It's you, Raymond Edward!" Looking at the figure who had emerged, Jill said through gritted teeth. As the head of Umbrella here, Raymond was very well-known, and it was precisely because of his fame that Jill had transferred her hatred of Umbrella onto him.
"Do we know each other, madam?"
"I wish I could kill you right now. Do you think we know each other?"
"Excellent. Ladies always need a little fantasy in their hearts. I don't object to you having this idea. However, now, I hope you will listen to my arrangements obediently."
Jill spat at him directly upon hearing this. She almost went up to fight him directly. But several burly men had already stepped forward and pinned her down, making it impossible for her to move.
Raymond wiped the spittle off his body with a handkerchief with a gloomy smile. He hadn't cultivated himself to the point of accepting insults. But thinking of what Jill represented, he didn't care about this little humiliation. Besides, Jill had already been infected with the T-Virus by the Hunter. Without an antidote, she was dead.
"Don't get excited. Actually, I'm finding a way out for you. Of course, also for ourselves. I need you to contact the respected Mr. Zhou, and then we'll make a small trade. If it works out, you will leave here with Mr. Zhou. And we will also break away from Umbrella and start a new life in a place where no one knows us. Listen, this is a good thing. So, why don't we do it?"
"Go dream on, you damn bastard. So many people are watching you in hell. It's simply wishful thinking if you want to live in peace."
"Whether it's wishful thinking or not isn't up to you, Ms. Valentine. Your and this beast's lives are still in my hands. If you don't want to die, I suggest you'd better listen to me!" Raymond, who didn't have much patience to begin with, grabbed Jill's neck. He turned her face towards him and said word by word.
"Don't provoke me, especially at this time. You can't bear the consequences."
Jill's response was to bite down hard on his hand. She bit so hard that she tore a chunk of flesh from Raymond.
This time, Raymond could no longer feign composure.
Jill wasn't an ordinary person; she was infected with the T-Virus by a Hunter. There was no doubt that she already carried the virus. Therefore, when she bit Raymond, it also meant she was spreading the virus to him.
This was like a bolt from the blue for Raymond. However, he still held onto a sliver of hope. After he forcefully pulled his hand from Jill's mouth, he quickly found a handkerchief and wrapped the wound.
His hand trembled ridiculously. Seeing him like this, Jill grinned and laughed.
"You still want to live? Dream on. You're only destined to become a zombie. Look at your wound. In a few hours, you'll be the same as those things outside. This is your retribution."
"Shut up!" Seeing Jill, her mouth covered in blood, Raymond revealed a ferocious face. These words struck a nerve. He slapped Jill hard, watching her swollen face and the ghastly appearance of her mouth full of blood. He issued an ultimatum.
"Contact him, immediately! I don't have the patience to play with you anymore, do you hear me?"
What answered him was Jill's insane laughter. She no longer cared about her own life or death.
Madness is contagious, especially when people are in despair. Raymond could no longer endure this searing mockery. He drew his pistol and pulled the trigger, aiming at Jill's abdomen.
The bullets tore into Jill's abdomen, the projectiles shredding muscle, bone, and fragile internal organs. Although Raymond's aim was precise and didn't kill Jill instantly, the pain of blood loss and ruptured organs would eventually claim her life.
However, perhaps there was another possibility. The T-Virus would delay her death and transform her into something else. And for Jill, this was the last thing she wanted.
Looking at Jill lying on the ground and the unfocused eyes of his confidants, Raymond growled.
"Contact those soldiers for me, and tell their leader I have a deal to make. If they don't want to die."
At this moment, Raymond didn't have many resources. But selling some information belonging to Umbrella was no problem. He wanted to live and didn't mind stepping on Umbrella's corpse.
