Chapter 145 - New Virus, Panic Spreads

Dr. William Birkin was an outstanding researcher at Umbrella, outstanding to the point of being almost unparalleled. In a sense, there were few people in all of Umbrella who could compare to him, especially in the field of virus development.

He and his partner, Albert Wesker, had worked at Umbrella for many years and had achieved many accomplishments. He got what he wanted from Umbrella: money, status, and his beloved scientific career. Umbrella, in turn, gained even greater benefits from him. He was Umbrella's cash cow, and few would deny it.

But now, it was time for them to say goodbye. Because Dr. Birkin had created a new, terrifying virus, something even more frightening than the viruses Umbrella had developed. If it were only that, their relationship should have been even closer. However, William didn't want to hand this virus over to Umbrella; he considered it his masterpiece and wanted to use it to seek greater profits. Because of this view, he brought about his own demise.

A certain research institute under Umbrella's Raccoon City branch, a tall building, majestic and magnificent, was resplendent. It allowed people to recognize at a glance the strength of the multinational corporation. However, it was only a cover for the underground laboratory. There was nothing secret in the empty building. The real secrets were hidden underground. That was Dr. William Birkin's experimental base, the place where he developed the new virus. As Umbrella's cash cow, Dr. Birkin received the most comprehensive protection measures.

However, these meticulous security measures sometimes meant the strictest surveillance. Dr. Birkin didn't know that his every move was being monitored, including his rebellious plans and his research results. At this moment, he was still in the underground laboratory, fully immersed in his experiments. The newly developed virus had not been completely perfected, but it had already demonstrated superior abilities compared to the original virus.

The virus developed by Umbrella was named the T-Virus. And he named the virus he developed based on the T-Virus the G-Virus. Although it was not perfect, William believed that in a short time, the G-Virus would replace the T-Virus and become the most powerful character in the history of viruses.

Under the dim light, Dr. Birkin picked up a test tube from the experimental table. The liquid inside presented an eerie violet color, and gently shaking it would even produce a mercury-like texture. The surface of the liquid kept churning, as if boiling. Several large cell nuclei, visible to the naked eye, floated up and down inside.

Looking at this virus reagent, William sighed.

"Too bad. If I could get that perfect experiment from the Hive, the G-Virus would be perfected immediately. But it's okay, I got her DNA sample. Making a clone in a few months will achieve the same thing! I've surpassed everyone, even that so-called genius girl from the Ashford Family!"

Thinking of this, Dr. William Birkin became more and more excited. His pale skin, caused by excessive fatigue, looked even more ghastly under the dim laboratory lights. However, he was only engrossed in his inner ambitions, without noticing the danger that was drawing near.

While Dr. William was still marveling at the results of his experiments, a group of soldiers wearing Umbrella company commando uniforms had arrived at the laboratory door. Then, with a swoosh, the laboratory door immediately opened. The soldiers swarmed in, surrounding Dr. William, who had turned around sharply after hearing the noise.

"Dr. William, the board of directors requests that you and your new virus be brought back. We hope you won't resist, or some unpleasant things may happen," one of the soldiers said. Another soldier opened the safety on his gun and pointed it at William. Their meaning was already very clear: cooperate, or die.

"I didn't expect you to finally come," William said coldly, looking at the members of the Umbrella recovery team in front of him. He secretly took out a pistol with his left hand, and his right hand tightly held a sample of a virus.

"Who sent you? Raymond or Spencer?"

"Doctor, please hand over the virus in your hand, or we will be impolite! You should know what the consequences are for violating the board's orders!" The soldier didn't answer his question, but kept repeating his orders.

"I won't hand over the G-Virus. I will not hand over the G-Virus to you no matter what, no one can take it away!" William clutched the virus in his hand. He slowly retreated, raising his pistol and aiming it at these thugs. As he retreated, he accidentally bumped into the table behind him, and the beakers fell to the ground with a crash.

The sound made a nervous soldier instantly pull the trigger, and dozens of bullets pierced William's body in an instant. Although another soldier saw this and quickly shouted to stop, it was already too late. Dr. William hadn't even had time to say anything before he collapsed in a pool of blood.

"Damn it! You'll hit the virus sample!"

Seeing this, the leading soldier slapped the guy who had fired randomly. But that was all. Then this guy squatted down and took the virus sample he was tightly clutching from the dying William.

"Mission accomplished, everyone fall back!" With an order, the group of soldiers left here silently and quickly, just as they had come. Only Dr. William was left lying on the ground, feeling his body gradually becoming cold.

Watching the Umbrella special forces leave, William felt his consciousness gradually becoming thin. He used his last strength and trembled as he took something out of his arms.

It was a syringe filled with purple liquid. Through the tube wall of the syringe, the huge cell nucleus inside could be clearly seen. At this moment, William hesitated almost not at all, and injected the contents of the syringe into his neck vein.

A mutation began.

Time was slowly passing. William, who had closed his eyes as if dead, suddenly opened his eyes. Almost instantly, his eyes turned a bright blood red. A powerful impulse and a crazy idea began to impact his already fragile consciousness. Before he completely lost consciousness, he opened his mouth and shouted with all his strength, full of resentment: "Umbrella! You will pay the price!"

The terrifying sounds began very quickly. Instruments and tools in the laboratory were overturned, smashed to the ground by a monstrous, indescribable foot. Heavy footsteps crushed everything to pieces. A roar echoed, and a huge figure began to run.

"Headquarters, this is a call to headquarters, we have successfully recovered the virus, the target is dead. We need a helicopter to pick us up, repeat, mission accomplished, we need a helicopter to pick us up." A UBCS special forces soldier said into the walkie-talkie. Suddenly, an ominous feeling welled up in his heart. He looked up and immediately let out an incredulous cry: "Damn it! What is that!!!"

His cry caught the attention of all the soldiers, and they immediately saw the target that had caused the exclamation. Without hesitation, the special forces soldiers immediately raised their MP5s and fired at the terrifying creature they saw, but the bullets seemed to be useless.

A powerful claw swatted out, and under that giant claw, a soldier's body was instantly torn into pieces.

"Damn it! Samuel!"

Another special forces soldier watched his best friend, his brother, torn into countless fragments right before his eyes. He immediately roared and raised his gun, frantically pulling the trigger at the culprit. Bullets poured out, and then his gun made a clicking sound.

"Damn it! No bullets!" He panicked and pulled out a magazine from his pocket. Just as he was about to load it, a strange premonition made him look up, and then a terrifying big eye immediately appeared in front of him. Agony and fear followed.

"Oh!! No! Ah..." Desperate cries came from the secluded alleyway one after another. Then it quickly fell silent.

This strange situation didn't attract anyone's attention. Raccoon City had become increasingly bizarre these days. People were wary of everything around them, no longer willing to investigate anything strange. Many had paid a heavy price for it. And this lesson was enough for the remaining people to learn something.

A fear was gradually spreading, as if hell was slowly opening. Almost everyone began to realize something was wrong, as evidenced by the increasing number of cases of insanity in Raccoon City. These lunatics bit whoever they saw. A witness swore that he had seen a passerby have his neck artery severed by a lunatic, blood gushing out.

Everyone realized that this city was becoming more and more strange, and many people began to go to gun shops to buy guns and ammunition for self-defense. The weapons and ammunition in the gun shops suddenly became popular, which made the gun shop owner always have a smile on his face.

And today was the strangest. Before nightfall, the city's broadcast began to announce some notices, informing all citizens to try not to go out at night. It was said that many strange events happened at night, and many people disappeared as a result. Some even said they saw extraterrestrial creatures. Or strange animals. Although this was just a rumor, it made every citizen feel panicked.

The police's phone lines were almost all busy, and the lack of police force forced the police department to ask for help from the biggest local power.

And Umbrella was very happy to send out their civilian mercenary organization, the UBCS, to protect the citizens. This move made many citizens grateful to this well-known big company. For many years, Umbrella Corporation had brought a large number of employment opportunities to people. It created this city and prospered this city. It could be said that Umbrella created the Raccoon City of today, and Umbrella gave life to this city.

The citizens all had deep feelings for this big company, but they didn't know. Today, this city would be destroyed under the hands of Umbrella.
