Chapter 250: James Marcus Appears to Explore the Cadre Cultivation Center
Although the train derailed, luckily it finally stopped.
The violent impact made Xie Yuan a little confused.
However, after taking a short rest, Xie Yuan still met Rebecca, who was following behind. The little police officer had also just been injured in the waist.
Fortunately, it was just a minor injury such as a soft tissue contusion, and it didn't look like it would particularly affect her movement.
Xie Yuan also wisely did not ask what Rebecca arranged for Edward in the end. This was not a scar that was easy to be opened again.
The last station the two arrived at was the cadre training center. After all, the final order Delta Team received was to destroy the train—but unfortunately, it was killed by the mutated James Marcus before it was carried out.
Therefore, the train still followed its original direction and entered the goal set by the second batch of investigation teams - the cadre training institute.
The official name is also called the Umbrella Research Center.
Asked why Xie Yuan and Rebecca finally knew the name of the man in white robe?
That's because Xie Yuan took Rebecca through the long sewer and opened the manhole cover, and then came to the large living room of the so-called cadre training center.
On the floor of the living room on the ground, the red and white umbrella logo of the large protective umbrella is clearly visible.
In the middle, facing the door, was a floor-standing portrait of his old form. Rebecca, who had an excellent memory, recognized him at a glance.
This old man was the mimicry of the old man she saw in the dining car, which was made up of leeches gathered together.
Xie Yuan compared the head portrait of the man in white robe taken with his multi-purpose recorder and the form of the old man and found that the similarity reached 99.99%.
This has completely exceeded the similarity between father and son. This is James Marcus himself!
"You are a thief if you are too old to die!" lamented a 70-year-old man who was fused by a virus and turned into a super-powerful sub-human creature. More importantly, he regained his youth!
However, it can be seen from the fact that a large number of people infected with the T-virus are rejected and turned into zombies because they cannot coexist with the virus.
James Marcus's fusion this time is really dangerous and very lucky.
"I just don't know if there are any sequelae?" Looking at Marcus's high-spirited portrait, Xie Yuan had an idea.
"The first director of the institute, Dr. James Marcus." Xie Yuan read the inscription on the portrait, and then confirmed it to Rebecca, "that is, the man in white."
"This... he looks over 70 years old?!" Although Rebecca confirmed that Billy was right, looking at the old man in the portrait in front of her, she couldn't connect it with the handsome man in white robes.
.
"Who are these two people?!" The monitoring earbuds in Xie Yuan's ears once again heard the question of the middle-aged man with a sharp voice.
"She is just a rookie member of the S.T.A.R.S. team," the voice that answered her was still the calm middle-aged man, who seemed to know the Stars team very well.
"No, it's not just understanding, this person is interested in Rebecca!" Xie Yuanneng could hear that he was trying his best to downplay little Rebecca's existence.
Is it a work partner?
"Hmm, what about that man?" The middle-aged man with a sharp voice talked about Xie Yuan.
"I haven't seen him." The calm middle-aged man replied.
Xie Yuan suddenly realized that he seemed to be just a sudden intruder, but it was Rebecca...she might be part of a certain plan.
But the next conversation between the two behind-the-scenes monitors was interrupted by a broadcast!
In fact, in the hall of this research center, the lectures of the so-called Dr. Marcus can also be clearly heard:
"Quiet! This is Dr. Marcus here. Please be quiet and understand our company's motto as follows:
Obedience breeds discipline!
Discipline breeds unity!
Unity breeds strength!
Power is life!"
As soon as the broadcast finished, Xie Yuan heard a third voice in his earbuds: "Hmph hum hum."
"It's unmistakable, it's the voice of the young version of Marcus now." Xie Yuan predicted that Marcus might have a platform to switch control channels.
"Who are you?" The calm middle-aged man spoke up in advance.
"I was the one who spread the T-virus to the mansion," Marcus said with a sudden thunderbolt. "Needless to say, you can guess that I also released the virus on the train."
"What!" The middle-aged man with a sharp voice was completely spartan.
"This is my revenge on Umbrella!"
After Marcus announced his purpose, he immediately started another mezzo-soprano aria.
The song was melodious and melodious. Because the video signal could not be remotely connected to the universal tool, Xie Yuan could only guess that Marcus had summoned a large number of leeches.
Then Xie Yuan heard the sharp middle-aged man exclaim: "Dr. Marcus?!"
"Hehehehe, ten years ago, Dr. Marcus was assassinated by the Umbrella Company... You helped them, right!"
Next, Xie Yuan could only hear a long sneer, followed by endless silence.
At this moment, Xie Yuan is accompanying Rebecca to explore the entire research center. It must be said that the entire research center is full of wicked mechanisms and puzzles.
Just like the strange zodiac train, considering that James Marcus was the first director of this institute, this style was inspired by him!
This made him dislike Marcus even more.
Xie Yuan can help pick locks and open doors, but how to combine these strange key objects into a puzzle requires the help of the clever Rebecca.
And Rebecca was really helpful.
…
Perhaps because she discovered that Billy was really not good at solving puzzles, Rebecca worked hard to solve the puzzles left by the institute.
Otherwise, Rebecca would feel very uncomfortable being under Billy's protection all the time.
After Billy got his own partner, he changed his aggressive style and became cautious and subtle. He always acted as a pioneer and killed the insect-type zombies that he thought were more dangerous.
Then he would leave behind the easier-to-deal with humanoid zombies and seriously injured insect zombies for him to practice with.
Rebecca felt that Billy really wanted to teach her how to survive in this environment.
There are many things to pay attention to: the steps need to be light enough but not slow; you need to prepare a small mirror to survey the environment around corners or outside the bunker; always have a knife in hand ready for close combat.
In order to deal with emergencies, Billy not only gave her a submachine gun, but also a shotgun found on the train.
The shotgun was a common Browning O/U double-barreled shotgun, but Rebecca and Billy changed it back to the original shotgun after they found a Remington 870 in a room.
Rebecca, a police officer, couldn't let go of being cared for so carefully by a felon like Billy.
But it was precisely thanks to his care that Rebecca was able to grow rapidly in such a terrifying environment.
However, the longer she worked with Billy, the more doubts she had in her heart:
Billy seems to have a special interest in old-fashioned weapons... although he is more comfortable controlling modern weapons.
As for Billy, as far as she could see, he had been using the m1911 he had in the hands of the military police to fight against mutant creatures.
He can use his pistol to shoot into any vital part of the target very lightly: that is, the head, and try his best to kill an enemy with one bullet.
No more than three bullets at most, saving money!
"Are these still elite warriors trained by our army?" This question has never been clear to Rebecca since she accompanied Billy.
Why does Billy Cohen like saving bullets so much?
What’s even stranger is: Why is Billy Cohen so well prepared to deal with most situations here? And he has no fear at all from the terrifying environment in front of him?
Where is his confidence?
And the most important thing is: Why would a executioner who is so cold-blooded and ruthless in the information be so gentle to a stranger like her?
It doesn't make sense to have a good impression of him, because in Billy's eyes, he is just a kid who won't grow up... The funny thing is, he himself is only 26 years old.
The more contact she has, the more questions she has accumulated in her heart...
…
"Well, the bright environment is much better than the environment in the subway tunnel." Xie Yuan has been exploring the training center with the vigilance of exploring tunnels in the subway world.
During the exploration process, they also discovered many documents and materials left in the original space.
Some are educational and publicity documents that Marcus left to train his subordinates, such as "Experiences of Cadre Candidate Members"; some are coded notifications for meeting notifications, such as "Notice to Employees"
Especially this password notification, "The unlock password is set to "eight fifteen"." Is this the password as a wall clock?
In search of clues, the two men almost broke their legs.
Scurrying here and there, as soon as I found a crank handle in the cabinet, a large number of mutated crows suddenly broke the window and scurried inside.
Rebecca was so frightened that she turned around and ran away, but since she was running away from her, Xie Yuan had better kill these threats with knives and guns.
When Rebecca realized that he had not caught up and the gunfire stopped, she went back to check and saw Billy leaning against the wall, surrounded by the chopped-up remains of the crow.
Rebecca severely criticized Xie Yuan's adventurism, but Xie Yuan accepted it humbly and refused to repent.
At the same time in a boiler room, Rebecca found a strange black statue on a circular base.
Xie Yuan noticed that there was a Remington shotgun stored here, which was just right for Rebecca to equip. Shotguns are good at street fighting.
Xie Yuan had actually been worried that Rebecca, who was acting alone, would easily encounter mishaps in this place, so he moved forward in everything he did.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard Xie Yuan protected her, Rebecca still almost died... although the result was a near miss.
