Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

"despair!"

At the same time as the gunshot, the orange beam had already swept across a distance of just a few meters, directly melting through Elena's left hand.

? ? !

The sudden reversal left Elena's mind completely blank for a while.

"Forehead!"

After she gradually felt the piercing pain, cold sweat broke out all over her body, her right hand clenched her left wrist tightly, and she gritted her teeth and let out an unbearable pain.

Afterwards, Irina asked Lin in disbelief, "Sir...Why do you do this..."

As he spoke, he also showed a rather innocent and aggrieved expression.

"Don't worry, you won't be alone on Huangquan Road."

However, Lin had no remorse or sympathy at all, let alone any plans to explain, and immediately prepared to continue pulling the trigger.

"Do not!"

Seeing Lin's determined appearance, Irina shouted and rushed towards Lin, and a large number of blood-colored tentacles gushed out from the wound on her left hand.

But how could "she" be faster than a gun?

Seeing the results of the thorough testing, Lin moved his right index finger...

"Tattoo!"

"Pfft! Pfft!"

The beams shot out from the muzzle one after another, and they were constantly melting through Elena's body.

"call!"

The intense beam ignited "her" overalls.

The blazing fire, like Lin's "indifferent" and "unsatisfactory", quickly wrapped and devoured Elena.

finally…

"Ah...! Ah... hoo...!"

Elena collapsed on the ground and struggled, and the roar of pain gradually changed from the voice of a human woman to a beast.

After a few seconds, "she" was completely motionless, letting the flames continue to burn.

See here. .

Lin Mian revealed that he couldn't bear it, and after saying "rest in peace" in a very low voice, he picked up his mind and set off again.

Run around the corner.

Pass by the bar.

Lin noticed the five people hiding inside, but he chose to ignore it and move forward alone. After all, bringing untrained civilians with him would only slow down the pace.

And Lin's destination is the general control room responsible for the entire Assis.

If you want to restore communication, pass information to the outside world, or carry out crucial operations, you need the absolute authority of the central control room to assist.

As for how to guess what kind of "thing" Elena is...

Lin likes to read documents, archives and various data repeatedly. It is not so much a habit as an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it is his subjective consciousness that forces him to engrave the habit of "repetition" in his bones.

Because of a small negligence fifteen years ago, two colleagues died unexpectedly.

Although the final emergency team arrived in time to help him eliminate the ghost-faced beasts and gnolls who were trying to secretly plant bombs and prepare for the cholera colony, it would never change the lives of his colleagues.

After that, Lin forced himself to develop a habit of "repeating", making sure not to miss the slightest detail again.

And Elena, in fact, died before he sneaked into Assis.

The time of death was within five minutes when the nanobot lost its signal and the Intelligence Department was unable to contact her immediately.

According to the information obtained after coming here, he witnessed all kinds of **** and nauseating scenes, plus various details and his own speculation...

Lin can initially be certain that the "thing" that ravages Assis is an abnormal creature that can be completely "replaced" and "imitation".

Judging from the way Todd and his wife and daughter, as well as the way and tone of dialogue with the neighbors, it is known that this kind of "thing" can inherit all the memory of the host.

It understands and exploits relationships, mimicking emotions like the real Todd.

But there is only one thing, and that is the eyes.

"The eyes are the windows to the soul" is a famous saying, and there is some truth to it.

Lin repeatedly watched the quarrel pictures taken by "Irina" many times, and found that Todd's eyes did not show concern for his family at all.

Outsiders may not be aware of this detail, but Carrie, Todd's wife, and Neil, son, have captured it.

So "he's not Todd" is said.

Therefore, Lin Cai chose to sneak into the sleeping cabin of Todd and Carrie.

After discovering a few pieces of dentures in the sleeping cabin, he reported the information and also asked the command center to help check the file of the short-haired female husband.

It didn't take long for the reply from the intelligence department to say that the short-haired female husband's back molars on both sides had been replaced with full-porcelain dentures six years ago because he did not pay attention to cleaning and maintenance.

No matter how advanced the technology is, dentistry is still a "problem" that plagues human beings.

Seeing this reply, Lin can confirm that it was the quarrel last night that gave Todd the opportunity to be alone with his short-haired female husband, thus taking the opportunity to change into the same kind.

But this transformation method is not 100% perfect, and they cannot "re-engraved" inorganic objects, such as dentures.

Next, the communication was blocked, and the exchange of fire with the "security guard" made Lin discover their more terrifying side.

That is, they can not only share intelligence and memory in real time, and cooperate tacitly when they are in human form, but also when they suffer a certain degree of damage, or when they judge the situation is crisis, they can be divided into different shapes to escape.

Of course, these individuals can also stick and combine with each other to gain an advantage in size and strength.

What refreshes the forest the most is that their blood also has self-awareness, moves and tries to invade nearby humans.

Observing the phenomenon of autonomous blood flow, and then according to the characteristics of limbs being able to "separate" and "join" at will, let Lin realize whether it is possible that their single cells are complete and independent individuals?

If this is the case, then their infection routes will be various, and inadvertent handshakes and hugs may be invaded by them and assimilated.

But why did he "escape the catastrophe"?

After raising this doubt to himself, Lin put together all the details, intelligence, and clues, and came up with the answer that they were deliberately avoided.

The reason seems to be simple and clear. It is because of him and the nano-robots in the bodies of the intelligence officers.

This kind of "thing" can quickly complete assimilation, but in the process, it is bound to destroy the nano-robots and expel them from the body.

Because of this, Irina, who was disguised as an ordinary maintenance worker, was regarded as an assimilation target by them, causing the loss of contact for nearly five minutes and arousing the attention of the intelligence department.

The "things" that inherited all of Elena's memories, read the relevant information about Umbrella, and learned about Umbrella's abilities, only to find that they chose the wrong target.

In order to prevent the intelligence department from dispatching an emergency team to take coercive measures, they kept their human appearance and injected spare nano-robots. At the same time, they also actively contacted the command center to try to dispel their doubts.

However, Joel Miller, the supervisor, still sent Lin to investigate.

As one of the most experienced intelligence officers, Lin lived up to his expectations and had indeed investigated effective intelligence.

If this trend is followed, Lin will discover their existence soon.

So these "things" moved away from prudent solutions and turned to aggressive practices, blocking communications, exposing themselves, and enticing Umbrella to conduct a full investigation.

From the unintentional digging by the miners to the spaceship, and then being infected by them, the original intention has not changed, that is, after waiting for four days, use the transport fleet sent by the company to quietly spread to the outside world, and even the entire human territory.

Unexpectedly, they infected an Umbrella intelligence agent, which eventually led to the current situation.

The main thing is that not long after Lin ended his conversation with "Irina" and indicated that he was going to investigate the mining area, full-scale chaos broke out in Assis.

glutinous rice

And in the chaos, "Irina" can actually find him by chance...

How can there be so many "accidents"?

It is only possible for the same kind to share memory and reveal his location to "Irina", and then it is convenient for "Irina" to use the identities of colleagues and comrades-in-arms to assimilate him while the signal is blocked.

In this way, after the emergency team arrived in Assis, he was assimilated, and the "he" who was injected with the spare nano-robots could leave Assis with "Irina" unimpeded, and go to the human world completely.

In fact, with or without him, as long as the emergency team arrives in Assis without obtaining detailed characteristics of them, the human world is destined to be eroded by them.

The gang of "things" wanted to assimilate him, just to avoid another unexpected safety measure.

Thinking room.

Lin has come to the only way to the control room, the most spacious corridor.

There is a wide field of vision, no shelter provided, and there are more than a dozen security guards with guns scattered at a distance.

Lin stood at the corner to observe.

Seeing the situation in the corridor, he temporarily hung the laser micro-punch with a gun sling on his chest, freed his hands, and took out a small syringe from the tactical bag on his side waist.

Its metal surface is printed with words such as "disposable medicine" and "attention".

Open the protective cover to expose the needle-free injection port, and then make contact with the skin of the left forearm to inject the "medicine" into the body.

Then, he put the syringe back in the tactical bag and checked the little equipment left.

At this time, Lin's breathing rhythm gradually accelerated, and even his pupils dilated a little.

Checked.

He grasped the laser micro-charge again, his eyes were no longer dead, but revealed fearlessness and firmness, and whispered to himself:

"How could it be possible for you group of soulless things to run outside, how could it be possible for you to threaten human beings, threaten them..."

talking.

Lin took out the only remaining acid bullet with his left hand, buckled the pull-down ring with one hand, flipped the safety, and counted for two seconds to throw it outwards.

After completing the tossing action, he rushed into the corridor quickly, one after the other with the acid thunder, and completely appeared in the sight of the "things".

see.

The security immediately raised the pulse gun and wanted to aim the muzzle at Lin's legs.

However, after injecting the "medicine", Lin's strength seemed to be much stronger than before, so the strong acid thunder "flyed" to a few security guards standing at the front at an extremely fast speed, and then...

"Bang~!"

"Buzz...buzz..."

"Ah... hoo!"

The sound of detonation, corrosion and screams intertwined, instantly paralyzing many security guards' ability to move and attack.

"Da da!"

"Tattoo!"

Immediately afterwards, the corridors were filled with bursts of pulses and laser guns.

The dazzling orange light continued to flicker, indicating that Lin, who was alone against the "things", had not yet fallen.

After the gunfire and orange light stopped...

"Tread, step..."

In the corridor, there was only the sound of unsteady and staggering footsteps.

"Beep, beep..."

There is also the movement of "water droplets" falling to the floor.

"Shh~--!"

But soon, the sound of the main control room gate opening to both sides covered up the footsteps and "water droplets".

It turned out that Lin Zhen reached the control room successfully by himself.

Behind Lin was a messy corridor, a lot of limbs and flesh were still squirming, and even blood was flowing towards his position.

"Shh~--!"

But as the gate closed, the connection between the main control room and the corridor was temporarily blocked.

And right now he...

The right arm burst, and the right calf was "shaved" to remove a lot of tissue, exposing the bones, and the body was full of tiny shrapnel holes, and even the right eye could not escape the shrapnel attack.

It can be said that there is almost no intact place on the right half of Lin's body.

Even though there are nano-robots in the body to help stop the bleeding, blood still seeps from various wounds, which is also the origin of the previous "water drop" sound.

This kind of injury was enough to cause Lin, who was in a normal state, to faint, until he died.

There are many reasons why it has persisted until now, protecting human beings…

In other words, it was to protect the colleagues who were rushing to Assis without knowing it, and to protect his family, so that the firm will not afraid of death was on the one hand.

And the most important point is the "medicine" injected before, which forced his broken body to continue to move.

The "Pharmaceutical" number is Te-036, which is specially provided for the field employees of the Supervision Department and the Intelligence Department. It is used to temporarily block pain, forcibly stimulate adrenaline, and improve reaction speed and strength during the time of life and death. Serum medicine.

After the effect of the drug, it will cause permanent damage to the user.

So while the effect of the medicine was still in effect and his mind was still awake, Lin dragged his right leg, which could not be bent back, to the console with a large number of physical screens.

Subsequently.

He stretched out his movable left hand, groped for his exclusive mobile phone from the tool bag on the side waist, and placed it on the console for sensing biometric information and the induction area of ​​the identity magnetic card, trying to obtain some permissions.

While waiting, Lin only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier.

A reminder of "Di!" brought him back to his senses instantly.

Turning his head to look at the content displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, he couldn't help but smile and said to himself, "Sure enough, everything is not as smooth as I imagined...

Although I can't spread the news, I can't say goodbye... Well, it's a pity, but it's enough to protect them silently..."

With that said, Lin stretched out his left hand again and tapped "OK" on the screen with his index finger.

After completing this move, the broadcast placed inside Assis sent out an emotionless reminder:

"The fusion reactor has been manually overloaded and is expected to reach critical value in five seconds.

Repeat, fusion reactor..."

However, before the second repeat reminder was played, five seconds had passed.

And Lin...

Before he completely lost consciousness, he "saw" his wife sitting on the lawn in the park, looking at the children with a smile, playing with each other carefree.

Suddenly, he "sees" the scene when he met his wife for the first time ten years ago...

He was seriously injured during the mission. After regaining consciousness, he found him lying in the ward of the company hospital, and the wife of the attending physician asked with a soft smile:

"Mr. Lin, what do you think is uncomfortable?"

finally…

"Warm" white light fills everything.
