Chapter 258: Explaining the Reason: The Leech Queen Unwilling to Leave
"I want to know the truth." After opening the door, there is a huge lifting platform. The space here is so huge that it is impossible to install a closed-circuit television.
So when the lifting platform started running, Rebecca couldn't wait to know everything.
Xie Yuan had no need to hide it. After he knew that Rebecca was not the mole he imagined, he took out an earplug device from his ear.
Rebecca really didn't expect Billy to hide it so deeply. She knew about this device: a concealed wireless communication earbud.
"How did you..."
"These are not my earplugs, but they belong to the Delta team. I secretly took them to monitor." Xie Yuan explained the source to Rebecca.
In fact, Xie Yuan took this after seeing it in order to have a reasonable source after exposing some information.
"Through this, I heard two behind-the-scenes monitors discussing our origins when we first arrived at the research center. One of them, a calm middle-aged man, said, "You are just a rookie at Stars."
At the same time, after Marcus switched monitoring control, he briefly communicated with two middle-aged men...so I also guessed some clues."
But when Rebecca heard this, she felt that she had been concealed, and felt very aggrieved and uncomfortable: "Can't you share such important information with me? We are partners, but you concealed very important information from me.
If I had known earlier, I could have alerted Enrique and I might even have been able to save something."
"I'm sorry, Rebecca, but I'm not telling you for the time being to protect you... Because until you choose to stay," Xie Yuan turned around and said in a nihilistic tone, "I have always doubted your position.
"
"What?!" Rebecca was shocked and angry.
But before Rebecca could say anything, Xie Yuanxian comforted her: "Listen to me first, then you will know my concerns."
Fortunately, Rebecca still remembered her previous comradeship, calmed down her anger a little, and looked at Xie Yuan to see if she had any reasonable concerns.
"First of all, the sudden crash of your helicopter was not an accident," Xie Yuan analyzed it from beginning to end for Rebecca. "From the sudden flameout of the helicopter, it looks like a bird strike on a jet engine at high altitude."
"Actually, this is unreasonable. Your engine suddenly failed. You didn't hear it hit any suspicious target. It's more like a time bomb was inserted into the engine."
"So someone arranged the device in advance and planned to destroy the helicopter, but what does this have to do with my position?" Although she also doubted this, Rebecca was still very unhappy when she was accused of being the mole.
"Second, your equipment is too weak. It is not used to explore this place. The firepower and protection are not enough!"
"Our mission is to explore here! It's a light reconnaissance mission..." Rebecca originally wanted to argue that it was because of the mission requirements, but she realized something as soon as she said the words.
If you look at the two things together... wouldn't it mean that they lacked heavy firepower and lacked means of retreat, and were lost in this mountain forest?
Coupled with these mutated creatures that are not enough to look at with light weapons, and an unknown number of zombie dogs... someone wanted them to be unable to come back from the beginning!
"What made you think there was something wrong with me?" Now that she knew the problem might lie with the mole, Rebecca calmed down and decided to cooperate with Billy to eliminate her own suspicions and find the confirmed mole.
However, Billy's answer made her feel very helpless: "I don't know what suspicions you have. In fact, everyone in your team has suspicions, and you just have two special circumstances that make me more concerned."
"What is it?"
"Why would a talented 18-year-old female student your age condescend to work as a special police officer in a small central and western police station?"
"You are sexist and ageist, why do I have a problem with this?!!"
"If you can go to any big city, you can find a better job, but why here? Why would a person who can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month come here?" Xie Yuan thinks this is a doubtful point.
"I want to be a police officer, and the salary offered to me in Raccoon City is not low. Besides, this is not what I have decided to do for the rest of my life." Rebecca retorted one by one, "Your suspicion is not valid!"
"Then the question arises?" Xie Yuan asked Rebecca, "Where can Raccoon City get so much money to pay you high salaries?"
"Of course it's...investment," Rebecca realized now why Billy thought there was something wrong with everyone.
Anyone with a little intelligence can find out that Raccoon City has been receiving investment from the Umbrella Corporation for a long time.
The S.T.A.R.S department, which was originally stagnant due to lack of funds in the 1970s, was brought back online two years ago due to the injection of large amounts of funds.
It is self-evident who the source of the funds is.
Enrique, as a veteran of the Raccoon City Police Department, could not compete with Albert Wesker, who was younger than him. Although he was capable.
But more importantly, he missed out on the captaincy because he was appointed by the financial backers behind the scenes. On the contrary, Enrique was chosen because of his ability and qualifications when he was able to become the deputy.
And a team that eats, uses, and listens to the person sent by the umbrella as the leader, is there any insider?
It’s better to say that there is someone who is truly dedicated to serving the public good!
"What's the other one?" Rebecca had to admit that Billy's caution was justified, and she didn't want to show it, so she could only talk to him left and right.
"You also know now that the second wave of monitors includes Wesker. You also know that we are in the research institute. Wesker introduced you to Birkin as she is just a rookie in Stars."
Looking at Rebecca who didn't understand the connection, Xie Yuan directly copied Wesker's tone at the time: "She is just a rookie in Stars."
"Hoo!" Rebecca never expected that Billy could imitate Wesker's voice so closely, it was directly Wesker himself!
But this also illustrates that Captain Wesker himself is in this place, because Billy Cohen has never met Albert Wesker.
But what does this have to do with her?
"When Wesker introduced your identity to Birkin, he tried his best to downplay your identity, but focused on me. If Marcus hadn't disrupted the situation midway, I, at least I, would have died when Birkin deliberately opened the
on the agency."
"And you, you may die here, or you may be led to join Enrique." Xie Yuan told the truth completely now, "So do you think there is any problem here?"
The lifting platform was still running slowly, but Rebecca's heart could not calm down for a long time.
"Captain Wesker is... actually interested in me?
So… so disgusting!”
Seeing the complicated expression on Rebecca's face, Xie Yuan also decided to give her some time to digest. It might be a bit too much for a real man to accept so many things that subvert his outlook on life at once.
Not to mention a little girl.
But it seemed that Wesker or Birkin didn't have time for her to digest it, and an alarm suddenly came on the radio:
"Please note, please note that the self-destruction system has been activated, all personnel please evacuate immediately; repeat, please note, please note, the self-destruction system has been activated, all personnel please evacuate immediately; repeat..."
As the red signal light began to flash continuously, the entire base began to slowly shake.
"Who activated the self-destruct system?" Rebecca asked herself anxiously, but looking at Billy's shrug, she realized who it was and said bitterly:
"I hate him very much now!"
However, it may be that the darkness is the thickest before dawn, or it may be that the house leaked and it rained all night, or maybe "Marcus" discovered that the base was in a self-destruction state and was unwilling to die.
"Boom!!!" A loud noise suddenly came from the bottom of the lift!
"What's wrong!!!" Rebecca was almost collapsed.
"It's okay," Xie Yuan comforted him cheerfully, "This play is almost over, but some people still want to perform a little more."
Xie Yuan, who had excellent eyes, looked at the giant leech below that had completely enlarged and said meaningfully:
"If you don't take the curtain call when it's time, it's a pity that you won't have the chance to perform in the future!!!"
