Chapter 36: Storm

The woods were quiet, but this quietness revealed a kind of weirdness.

The Beta team of the team took another helicopter to another plane crash site. Now everyone in the Alpha team could not guarantee whether they had been attacked.

Pierce reported the situation to the follow-up support police through the intercom. After confirming that they had received it, he led the members of the Alpha team to go deep into the forest.

They are the police of Raccoon City, and such things are what they should desperately take care of.

Jill felt a little uneasy in his heart. Now it has been confirmed that this is a premeditated attack, and the attackers are still staying in the same place and have not left.

The enemy's firepower is unknown, and they may face attacks if they go deep rashly.

In the forest not far from the Alpha team, a group of ten armed men are searching on the wreckage of the helicopter.

They are an international mercenary organization composed of free men. Two months ago, they received a big order!

Kill Duncan Aremus, the current leader of the Umbrella Company, and bring back his body or 500 grams of body tissue.

The employer offered a price that no one could refuse. They tried to assassinate Duncan many times, but every time Duncan left Raccoon City, he would bring a large group of armed security guards with him. Before going out, he would also have people explore the road in advance. The security level was frighteningly high. Until today, their informant provided them with excellent intelligence.

Duncan would take a helicopter to inspect the construction of the industrial park!

The captain of the mercenary action team decisively took action and successfully shot down the three helicopters that were sailing with a rocket launcher. After that, they only needed to take the target's body back to get the reward.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

The captain next to the wreckage of the plane was very anxious. Even though their firepower was not weak, they could not match the Raccoon City Police Department with hundreds of police officers, not to mention that there were thousands of Umbrella private soldiers in Raccoon City. The thirty people here could not beat them with any weapons.

Umbrella may not have reacted yet. Because of the threat of the rocket launcher, they may not use helicopters. If they drive close, it won't take long for the security forces to easily surround them.

Seeing the urging, the team members also stepped up to put out the fire and searched for the target's body in the pried open helicopter.

The employer paid a high price for them to kill the boss of a giant enterprise. This behavior of breaking the unspoken rules can easily be collectively condemned by capitalists. They had a long psychological struggle before taking this business. After the business is completed, they will be financially free, and they don't want to mess it up.

"Captain, no body was found!" Several mercenaries said this answer helplessly after turning over the wreckage of the plane.

After listening, the captain pressed the headset and asked: "Cheetah, Eagle, did you find it over there?"

"No!"

"Shit, I don't have it here either!"

The response came quickly from the headset, and the answers were very consistent.

Intelligence error?

As soon as the captain had this bad idea in his mind, dense bullets were fired from the woods on their side.

Da da da!

Two mercenaries who were not in a good position fell directly, and the others hid their bodies behind the trees the moment they heard the gunshots. A few seconds later, the mercenaries fought back in the direction where the bullets were flying.

For a while, bullets and wood chips flew in the woods!

The Alpha team came cautiously and wanted to catch them off guard, but after the real fight, they found that the people on the other side were well-trained. Even if they were ambushed, they did not lose their composure. They were obviously professionally trained and even fought on the battlefield.

"Madfak!" After the mercenary captain replaced the magazine on his rifle, he gestured to retreat to several companions beside him. They did not want to fight with the police in Raccoon City.

The mercenaries set up booby traps nearby, used smoke bombs to blur the battlefield, and used the complex forest terrain to cover the battlefield, and quickly disappeared from the scene.

After being blocked by the smoke, the Alpha team tried to chase.

Payton rushed forward and did not notice the situation under his feet at all. When passing by a bush, his keen hearing made him hear the sound of the grenade ring falling, and he shouted in shock: "Grenade!!!"

After that, he fell to one side.

Bang!

Shrapnel from the grenade explosion flew, and Payton, who fell to the ground in time, was lucky enough not to be injured. The others were reminded and fell to the ground in time. They were not injured by the booby trap, but they did not dare to continue chasing.

"Ahem!" Jill waved away the smoke in front of her eyes, carefully paying attention to her feet, and pulled up Captain Pierce who was lying on the ground.

Just as they were about to say something, the sound of helicopter propellers came from the sky.

Looking up, a large number of armed helicopters with umbrella logos were flying in the sky between the branches.

There were also several side-rotor aircraft similar to Osprey helicopters. These aircraft passed by the woods and projected a large number of jamming bombs in their astonished eyes, and then fired a round of rockets at the distant woods.

The Alpha team below was stunned. The eye-catching umbrella logo on the side of the aircraft was too eye-catching. These aircraft are already military models, right?

Their police did not have such strong firepower configuration. A private company security team needs such exaggerated equipment?

In any case, the three plane wreckages were quickly taken over by the Umbrella Company, and the police were only responsible for maintaining order at the scene, especially not letting the reporters get close.

Most of the internationally renowned mercenary team were killed or injured in the bombing, and only seven people escaped through the tunnels dug in advance.

…

Perhaps it was deliberately spread by someone with ulterior motives. The news that Umbrella CEO Duncan Aremus was attacked quickly made headlines in the world in the next two days. The discussion was hot and there were obvious signs of human manipulation.

Duncan's second-hand secretary Susan was forced to accept an interview with reporters. She acted reluctantly in front of the camera and insisted that Duncan was just missing. Her answer was basically led by the nose, giving people the feeling that the cover-up was more obvious.

Netizens basically didn't believe it. The direction of the discussion gradually shifted from the attack on the CEO of Umbrella to whether Umbrella should be split up, and whether the private armed forces owned by Umbrella were too exaggerated?

The company was surrounded by wolves outside, and the company was also in panic.

Susan sat haggardly in the secretary's office, mechanically handling documents according to the instructions of the Red Queen, and temporarily shelved the problems she couldn't handle.

Now she was very confused. She didn't believe that Duncan would die so easily after seeing him travel through the world, but she hadn't seen her boss for two days, and it was difficult for her to confirm the facts.

Coupled with the complicated and exaggerated work, she seemed to have aged a few years.

Originally, Susan was just a vase, and had no experience in handling these major emergencies. After only two days, she began to miss the days when she could spend a lot of money just by lying down.

"Miss Susan, I received it again..."

The office door was pushed open at this time, and a brown-haired secretary in the secretarial group put the letter she had just received on Susan's desk with a tangled expression.

Staring at the bald eagle pattern on the envelope for a long time, Susan covered her head with a headache and waved to let the brown-haired secretary leave.

She ruffled her hair, raised her head and scanned the simple and luxurious office. She felt that this was a place that made people breathless. The current pressure made her want to resign.

Even if some people enter society, they may not really represent independence.
