Chapter 29 Antarctic Research Institute
Rockford Island.
The facilities on the island have been almost completely destroyed, with only a few major buildings remaining.
In the sea outside the island, a speedboat came and stopped under a cliff outside the island.
A man in a green STARS uniform climbed up the cliff and came to the entrance of a cave.
"Just be okay, Claire."
"I'll come rescue you right away!"
……
This side of Antarctica.
As the plane gradually descended, some buildings gradually appeared on the white snow outside.
"Those are the bombers we saw on the island earlier?!"
Claire saw several planes that had also made emergency landings on the snow below, and they seemed to have been abandoned.
"So, this is also the Umbrella base?"
"Umbrella actually has a base in Antarctica?"
Steve sighed, trying to pull up the joystick.
But it was of no avail, the plane's altitude continued to drop.
"Hold on tight!"
Steve lowered the landing gear and opened the cargo door.
The three of them entered the warehouse and found a place to sit down.
Yang Ren extended a large number of tentacles to act as additional safety belts to secure the two people.
To prevent the two of them from being thrown into the air by the huge impact force during the emergency landing.
Soon, the plane landed on its belly.
While taxiing, the wing hit the building next to it.
Both wings were broken off, leaving only the main fuselage.
A cylindrical building appeared in front of them. The nose of the plane broke through the concrete outer wall and buried itself in the building.
"Is everyone okay?"
Yang Ren retracted the tentacles that were holding down Claire and Steve and asked.
"It's okay. It feels like riding a roller coaster and a bungee jump."
Steve shook his head, and then the three of them came into the cockpit together.
The entire nose part of the plane was severely deformed, sparks flashed in the cockpit from time to time, and the windshield was almost broken into pieces.
Yang Ren kicked the plane door, jumped down first, then turned around and stretched out his arms to welcome Claire.
As for why not dance with two people?
On the one hand, the width of the cabin door is not enough to accommodate three people.
On the other hand, I'm a little hungry and want to eat something...
Claire saw the right moment and jumped down.
Yang Ren lost his balance and was knocked to the ground by Claire.
Of course Claire could see that Yang Ren didn't catch her on purpose.
He gently patted Yang Ren's chest and whispered:
"What are you doing~Ouch~"
Someone's evil plan succeeded again, I won't say who it was.
As for Steve?
Yang Ren stretched out his tentacles and rolled him down.
When he came down, his expression was still weird.
"Damn, it's so cold!"
As soon as he came into contact with the outside environment, Steve, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, made a sharp explosion on the spot.
Even though it had been strengthened by T+NE-γ, Yang Ren still felt that the temperature was a bit too low at the moment.
Cells throughout the body are protesting.
Fortunately, I brought a windbreaker with me, otherwise it would be really difficult to move in this extremely harsh environment.
The windbreaker was only worn by Claire, while Yang Ren was wearing a black nightgown and long boots.
It's exactly like Wesker in Resident Evil 5 without his windbreaker.
Steve? He could only bear with it.
"Wu~Is this also an Umbrella facility?"
"It looks like it has been abandoned for a long time."
Steve said, shivering as he looked at the bottomless darkness beneath the facility.
"Maybe a virus from ancient times has been found in the melting ice of Antarctica?"
Yang Ren was talking nonsense in a serious tone.
Of course, this is not impossible.
Although Yang Ren has never played Veronica, he has read some of the Chronicles.
Alexia's real body is at the Antarctic base, fusing with the Veronica virus for 15 years.
But the time has not come yet. If she completes the fusion, she will still be considered a premature baby.
The abilities in all aspects are definitely not as strong as after the perfect fusion, but it is already terrifying enough.
The large number of Veronica ecosystem plants and virus-infected insects under the Antarctic base have completely turned this place into Alexia's home ground.
You never know when a big hole might suddenly appear under your feet or on the wall, and then a plant root several tens of meters long might reach out and hit you to death.
In this regard, Yang Ren's little tentacles seem not so impressive.
But as long as he could get close to Alexia's real body, he was sure he could pin her to the ground... and beat her up.
After all, the strength of the Veronica virus lies in the fact that it can burn blood.
If you compete with her in ranged attacks and infection abilities, you will lose.
But if you fight her in close combat, at best you'll be like an enhanced version of the T virus.
The three of them walked along the passage inside the building and went down to a spiral staircase.
On the floor, on the walls, on the ceiling...everywhere were corpses wrapped like silkworm pupae.
Even on the exposed wounds of some corpses, there were white things like insect eggs trembling.
From time to time, large moths fly around overhead.
"Is this the lair of some creature?"
Three people felt sick at the same time.
After shooting down all the fluttering moths above their heads, which were as big as a person's upper body, with a few shots, the three men came to an office opposite the spiral staircase.
There was a photo of three people on the table, with Alexia and Alfred on the left and right.
In the middle is a middle-aged man sitting.
Next to it was a dusty diary, also written by Alfred:
----
"That incompetent father, we were actually bred by him using his ancestors' DNA and cloning technology..."
"Alexia has started a human experiment plan... That incompetent father should be satisfied that he has done his best for the Ashford family..."
"The last experiment failed. Not only was my father useless, he also turned into a horrible monster..."
"For safety reasons, we can only lock him up in a cell underground..."
"But Alexia seemed to have discovered something during the experiment and even proposed to use herself as a test subject..."
"For this, Alexia must sleep for 15 years...
"It's all because of that man that I haven't seen Alexia for 15 years..."
----
After reading the above content, Claire and Steve were both shocked.
"What kind of crazy people are these Umbrella people..."
William injected himself with the G virus.
Later, the Ashford siblings experimented on their father, and then on themselves.
And the two of them are in a brother-sister relationship.
unbelievable.
"Listen, is there any movement?"
Yang Ren's keen hearing came into play.
Through the wall, it seems like something is constantly hitting the iron sheet?
"There seems to be a secret passage here!"
There seems to be some gaps in the bookcase next to it.
Steve called Yang Ren and Claire over and pushed the bookcase.
A small passage was revealed behind the wall, with a row of cabinets at the end.
The cabinet door in the middle was shaking constantly.
It seemed like something was trying to get out from inside.
Yang Ren walked to the cabinet and was about to check it out.
Clang!
The cabinet door was suddenly pushed open and a little white mouse jumped out.
"My grass!"
Even though Yang Ren was prepared, he was still shocked.
The tentacles reflexively stretched out and rolled up the little mouse.
The rat was immediately frightened and started struggling frantically amid the tentacles.
"Ah? Rat?"
Since it's not a zombie, just let it go.
The tentacles retracted and Rat dropped to the ground.
He looked up at Yang Ren, then called out twice and ran away.
The two people behind him were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
He had great fighting power, but was frightened by a little mouse.
"There seems to be a button in the cabinet?"
Steve pointed to the cabinet that Rat had just jumped out of.
Yang Ren walked forward and pressed the button.
no response.
So he did something that Steve would never forget.
A sharp tentacle stretched out and pierced the cabinet.
Then he expanded and tore the metal cabinet open in the middle.
Steve's pupils trembled on the spot.
Since you can't open the door, you just tear it apart, right?
There was nothing behind the cabinet, but there was a grille panel underfoot.
Through the grille, the three of them could clearly see a humanoid creature sitting in the corner below?
The man's upper body was naked, but his skin was pale.
There was a big hole in the chest, and it seemed like something was beating.
It was tied to an iron chair, tied up and blindfolded.
As if hearing the noise, the silent monster began to struggle violently and roared continuously.
"It doesn't seem to be moving."
Steve crouched down and watched carefully.
"That's great. Let's leave quickly. This scream is really driving us crazy."
