Chapter 407 Madness and Conscience
boom!
A pale head fell to the ground with a crash.
Blood spattered, adding a strange color to the white walls.
He no longer knew which mutant zombie he had killed, so Lu Qi just raised his hand and waved forward, raised his leg to step over the corpse, and continued walking forward.
Jill and Bud, who were traveling together, followed closely behind.
Along the way, both ordinary zombies and pale heads with extremely strong regeneration abilities were killed by Lu Qi and Jill together.
In front of the extremely powerful Lightning Eagle, the pale head is just a matter of one shot...
Because they didn't know how long the blast-proof door could resist the pursuers, Lu Qi and the others, under the guidance of Bud, rushed non-stop towards the emergency treatment room deep in the nest.
The huge threat of the pursuers, like the Sword of Damocles hanging high above their heads, still hangs over the hearts of the three of them.
Only by finding the infantry electromagnetic gun as soon as possible and completely killing the pursuers behind them could the three of them relax their tense spirits and stop their hurried pace.
Because of this, even if the three of them passed by the laboratory where the vaccine raw materials were located, they did not go in. Instead, they just passed by as if they didn't see it.
Their goal is only one, and that is the emergency room!
...
The entire No. 2 Mother Nest has four floors. It is divided into two floors above ground and two floors underground.
The location of the emergency treatment room is on the second underground floor, the deepest part of the nest.
When the virus leaked on a large scale, the researchers in the Brood certainly did not expect that the situation would deteriorate so quickly and become so difficult to prevent.
In addition to the zombies that filled the nest, the three of them also found a bloody human corpse in the corner.
In the hands of the corpse, in addition to a revolver with one bullet missing, a note of last words left before death was also found.
The note explained that as soon as the virus was leaked, Bud, who was the director of the Virus Research Center, asked this researcher to produce a large number of vaccines.
However, due to the poor conditions in the brood, it was unable to obtain another adjuvant for the synthetic vaccine.
Ever since, he also wrote the storage location of the vaccine adjuvant and the general synthesis method of the vaccine on the note, so that anyone who sees this "suicide note" can complete their unfinished business and bring the vaccine to the world.
A virus vaccine is created to save this city overrun by zombies.
After leaving his last words, in order to prevent himself from becoming one of the walking dead, the researcher committed suicide so that he could retain the last bit of humanity before his death.
When he saw the contents of the suicide note, Bud recognized the corpse whose appearance could not be identified. It turned out to be his assistant.
With a heavy expression on his face, he squatted beside the body of his assistant, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said to himself:
"Edward, you did very well...very well..."
Seeing the deep sadness on Bud's face, Lu Qi and Jill looked at each other and fell into silence.
Although he had just arrived in this world for only two days, Lu Qi had already seen too many people and things in disasters along the way.
Among them, he deeply felt that when disaster strikes, only a few will fall into madness.
Most people still adhere to their inner conscience and make the right decision.
This is true for Jill, who is willing to put herself in danger if she wants to expose her protective umbrella; this is true for Bud, who chooses to turn from darkness to light in order to save his life and reputation; and this is also true for the researcher in front of him who hopes to save the situation before committing suicide!
The existence of these people is in sharp contrast to the high-level protection officials who want to destroy evidence and bury the truth.
Bard slowly took off the wedding ring on his assistant's left ring finger and put it into his trouser pocket. After standing up, Bud said in a deep voice:
"Let's keep walking..."
The three of them walked forward for a while without saying a word. Bud suddenly said in a hoarse and deep voice:
"I know that in your eyes, I am just a timid guy who is afraid of death."
Hearing this, Lu Qi and Jill looked at each other and didn't know how to answer.
"Indeed, I did this to save my own life, and also to save myself... even a little bit of reputation."
After a pause, Bud raised his head slightly, and at some point, a hint of perseverance appeared on his weathered face!
"However, now that things have happened, this is no longer a matter of one or two people..."
"Not only for myself, but also for Edward and countless citizens of Raccoon City, we must also make the truth public and let the whole world know what those bastards of the Umbrella did."
"Only then can I tell Edward's wife and daughter that their husband and father are not bad people who help others do evil, but a good man who knows his mistakes, can correct them, and tries to save others!"
Judging from Bud's words and expression, Lu Qi felt that it was only at this moment that Bud had truly made up his mind to stand on the opposite side of the umbrella and become its enemy.
Perhaps it was Bard who felt so sad after seeing his familiar assistant in the past committing suicide that he made such a statement.
No matter what the reason is, Bud's firm attitude is definitely a good thing for Lu Qi and Jill who want to take down the Umbrella Company.
As long as Bud, a tainted witness, is willing to appear in court and testify, with conclusive evidence, the Umbrella Company will definitely be sanctioned by both law and public opinion, and everyone's efforts will not be in vain...
...
Time keeps passing by.
When Lu Qi and the others arrived at the entrance to the underground floor, it was already one o'clock in the morning on the 29th.
In order to unlock the use of the electromagnetic gun, the three of them must first go to the incubation laboratory on the underground floor and get the identification card that Bard left in the drawer.
Under Bud's guidance, Lu Qi pushed a large pop-up battery back into the power area, and was able to open the temporarily blocked isolation door.
With a "snap" sound, the black and yellow explosion-proof doors receded to both sides, revealing the scene inside.
What comes into view is a somewhat special cultivation area.
I saw multiple cylindrical culture cabins placed on both sides of a corridor that led directly to the room. The cabins full of culture fluid were the products of two T viruses.
"these are?!"
The training cabin on the left was filled with the predators that Lu Qi and Jill had encountered in the hospital; while the training cabin on the right was filled with bald men who were all pale and with kinked muscles.
It is the outstanding crystallization of the T virus - the tyrant!
After Bard's introduction, Jill on the side also gained a better understanding of the mass-produced biochemical weapon "Tyrant" and the relationship between the Tracker (Nemesis) and the Tyrant.
"So, these tyrants are the basic models of the Furies that have not yet been implanted with parasites?"
"You can say that..."
