Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 202 Mikhail
"Can't the old man take a little more care of himself?" Carlos complained, moving Michelle's hand away and squatting down to spray medicine on the wound.

The intense pain didn't change Michel's expression at all. He simply leaned back in his chair and said, "Aren't you going to introduce these people to me?"

"Your injury seems quite serious. Were you bitten?" Mu Xiang sat down opposite him first and glanced at the wound on his abdomen. "It looks like a piece of flesh was bitten off."

Carlos turned his head away to avoid spitting onto Michelle's abdomen: "The injury was sustained while protecting civilians during the explosion... a piece of metal ripped it out alive, thankfully my intestines didn't come out."

Upon hearing this, Michelle couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Don't worry, I won't miss that piece of meat."

“Yes, yes, you suffered much worse injuries when you were fighting as a guerrilla in the CIS!” Carlos carefully took a bandage from the medical kit next to him and put it on Michelle. “You even tied your own intestines back up when they came out, didn’t you?”

Mu Xiang could tell that they had very few bandages left... Carlos must have used the last bit of bandage on Michelle.

Just as Michelle was about to say to be frugal, Mu Xiang handed her a brand new roll of bandages and a bottle of spray that she couldn't tell what it was: "Use this, it's much more effective."

Michelle nodded to Mu Xiang and took the bandage and spray: "This is..."

"The hemostatic spray developed by the company... is much more effective than the ordinary one," Mu Xiang said casually. "If there is still bleeding, just take it apart and use these."

“Heh, it does look high-end.” Michelle patted Carlos on the shoulder. “It’s obviously something we can’t afford.”

Mu Xiang smiled upon hearing this, then briefly introduced himself: "I'm Mu Xiang, originally a security guard at the company. These two, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan, have always been my colleagues. This one, we all call him Overlord, is also our partner. This one..."

“Jill Valentine, a cop… sort of.” Jill picked up the conversation, giving a self-deprecating laugh.

Michel sat up straight and said seriously, "It's nice to meet you... I am Mikhail Viktor, the UBCS squad leader, and we are here to search for civilians."

Jill watched the man coldly, and couldn't help but sigh when she heard "search and rescue"... Who could Raccoon City possibly save now?
As if reading Jill's mind, Michelle gestured with her chin to another carriage next to her: "We originally saved quite a few survivors... now only these are left."

"Have some already been infected?" Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses.

Michelle nodded, then sighed, "A considerable number of them also died while being hunted down."

Jill looked through the glass window at the people behind the car door: "There are only a dozen or so people left..."

“My squad has also suffered a severe blow…” Michelle said with a wry smile. “When we were at full strength, we could save hundreds of people without any problem. Now, Squad D is down to just a few of us. To be honest, just keeping them alive is enough to give me a lot of trouble.”

Carlos packed up his first-aid kit and stood next to Michelle, picking up the conversation: "There are still two people who haven't returned yet; they went to check the other subway entrances."

Mu Xiang nodded: "We should check... Don't think that kind of iron gate can stop anything. Forget about the trackers and the tyrant, a bunch of zombies could break it down. Your carriages can't even move... If the defenses are breached, you'll be at their mercy."

Michelle had intended to ask what the trackers and tyrants were, but upon hearing the latter part of Mu Xiang's words, she immediately changed her mind: "That's right, what we need to do now is find a way to get the subway moving... We can no longer think about search and rescue; the top priority is to get these survivors out."

If an ordinary person said this, it might seem like they were in a hurry to retreat; but Michel's words were sincere.

Mu Xiang adjusted his glasses, waiting for Michelle to continue. "But we're short-handed...we need your help." Michelle looked at Mu Xiang; he knew this young man was the one in charge.

Mu Xiang nodded: "No problem. Although we are in the business of running a company... since you want to save survivors, we will provide assistance."

Upon hearing this, Carlos looked at Mu Xiang and asked, "Could you tell our captain about those things?"

[It just so happens that those two supervisors haven't returned yet...hehe.]

Mu Xiang immediately recounted the feud between the four members of the Central Continent Team, Gil, and the company, and identified himself. He also mentioned the matter of the supervisor and combat data, which made Carlos unable to hold back his curses.

To his surprise, Michelle was only slightly taken aback when Mu Xiang claimed to be a bio-weapon, and quickly regained her composure after Carlos's confirmation. However, she remained unusually calm when she heard the combat data.

“That’s interesting.” Michelle said, almost to herself, “A bunch of mindless zombies ambushing well-equipped soldiers… Heh.”

Mu Xiang wasn't surprised by Michelle's reaction, because anyone who had played the game knew that Michelle had already noticed many anomalies in this mission... so telling him these things would at least prevent him from arguing.

"Did you hear him say 'supervisor'?" Carlos couldn't resist patting Michelle, but seeing his stomach, he held back. "Do you think someone's acting strangely?"

Michelle glared at him: "Something's not right? What kind of unit do you think this is? I've told you before, you're the worst group of soldiers I've ever led!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Carlos give a wry smile, but Mu Xiang and Zheng Zha also couldn't help but smile inwardly... Michelle had her reasons for saying that. What kind of team did I lead before? KGB, guerrillas! Who are these people you have? You expect me to lead them? What level is UBCS at now? Just a few people, more than half of them are mercenaries and extremely violent criminals!

This group of people came to rescue him, but can he save them? No, he can't. He doesn't have the awareness to do so, you know?

Carlos chuckled, "But some are serious too... I think the supervisors might all be dead, and there are only two of us left. Could one of them be us? We can't be that unlucky, can we?"

Sorry, both of them are...

Mu Xiang shrugged: "It's okay. Remember, the supervisors don't know each other. They all contact the company directly. The special bonus for an operation is split equally among all the supervisors. So, if they find out that someone else is also a supervisor, these guys will often resort to dirty tricks. Just look at the people you're paired with. Who dies and who lives? The living person becomes a suspect."

Michelle scoffed dismissively and nodded silently. He was well aware that there were too many illogical aspects to this operation, and that many people's actions were irregular. If one were to interpret it from a perspective of ulterior motives, there would be a lot to say… after all, not everyone was as focused on rescue as he and Carlos.

However, he could not voice these doubts and worries... As the squad leader, in such a desperate situation, he could not say things that would disrupt the team's formation and damage morale.

At this point, a group of collaborators arrived and pointed out the crux of the matter incisively. Although Michel had reservations about some of the content, he was still grateful to these people.

Just as Mu Xiang was about to ask where they needed to go next, he heard an explosion from across the platform... The sound seemed to have come from outside and was weakened before reaching the subway.

"Damn it, which subway entrance exploded?" Carlos's expression changed, and he immediately picked up the rocket launcher.
