Crossover: Is this how it's sewn?

Chapter 24, Section 022: Isaacs Launches an Attack

At the private dinner party to welcome Isaacs, Marcus and Isaacs chatted and laughed, reminiscing about many amusing anecdotes from the past, and bursting into laughter from time to time.

The people around him also had high emotional intelligence, and their timely responses to the jokes and cheers were very appropriate.

Marcus seemed to be drunk. Holding a glass of expensive red wine, he said to Isaacs, "Congratulations, Dr. Isaacs. I heard you've found a new version of artificial intelligence, even more powerful than the Red Queen. That's truly something to celebrate."

Isaacs seemed to stiffen, clinked glasses with Marcus, downed his drink in one gulp, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid it's some kind of misunderstanding. I just discovered a robot from an ancient civilization. I'll show it to everyone when we get back to the Hive."

"Is that the big suitcase you brought back? I can't wait to find out."

"I won't let you down, old friend."

The tense atmosphere between the two left those present at a loss for what to do.

Which team you choose to stand on will determine your future and destiny.

Upon arriving at the Hive base, Isaacs had a metal box transported over.

"Marcus, have Red Queen connect this robot to fight against the latest biological weapons. It should be more intuitive than cold, hard data."

"The Red Queen connects to this robot, then release a few Tyrants and Lickers."

Following the command, Red Queen connected to the control system via the code on the robot, restoring the energy system, power system, and combat module system.

Five Tyrants and twenty Lickers were released from the cage. By smearing them with blood and controlling them with computers, these biological weapons attacked the robots.

This robot, which clearly had an alien feel, scanned the opponent's strength after it was activated.

"Skill assessment: Apprentice Level 1"

"Risk level analysis: extremely low."

The robot remained unmoved in the face of the charging tyrant, which made Marcus frown. Why wasn't it retaliating?

To Marcus's astonishment, the robot, facing the towering and imposing tyrant, reached out and grabbed one of the tyrant's legs, lifted it up with tremendous force, and with a gentle flick, sent it crashing into the tyrant behind it.

What's even more astonishing is that these tyrants were smashed to death, their bodies slammed against the wall, turning into meat patties like paintings.

This was a violent aesthetic that shocked Marcus so much that he stood up. Even Iron Man's Iron Man suit hadn't made Marcus lose his composure like this.

"Isaacs, how many of these robots are left in the ruins?"

"There are probably another hundred, some even stronger than this. This is the weakest."

Isaacs's nonchalant reply made Marcus give him a deep look. Was this a threat?

Actually, there are a hundred real ones, and there are even more advanced ones, but there aren't many that are completely usable. We've been working hard to repair them all this time, and this one is still enough to annihilate all biological weapons.

"Alright, performance over, Marcus, my friend, you deserve to die."

"Isaacs, what do you mean by this?"

The robot dealt with all the bio-weapons in a flash, including the fastest Licker, then its crimson eyes turned to Marcus.

Isaacs snapped his fingers, looked at Marcus with a smug expression, and said in the most sarcastic tone, "Marcus, this robot was programmed by me beforehand to kill you and obey my commands. Even the Red Queen can't change that. This is all my scheme. Despair, my old friend."

Marcus attempted to reconcile, but Isaacs refused to listen, giving him no chance to catch his breath, and directly ordered Marcus to be killed.

Marcus quickly opened a special passage, and he fell to the next level.

The robot calmly punched the ground, creating a large hole in the reinforced concrete floor. Isaacs jumped down to chase after Marcus.

"Isaacs, do you think you're the only one with a backup plan?"

"Then let's test whether life or machines are stronger."

Three clones of Xu Zhenqing stood in front of Marcus, their bodies tense as they stared at the robot, their mental energy working together in an attempt to destroy the robot's structure.

This completely underestimated the alien technology and materials. Helpless, the clones could only control a group of throwing knives to shoot at the robot, but the knives slashed across the robot's body without any effect.

"Strength assessment: Mental Master, Apprentice Level 3."

"Danger level analysis: Low."

After the robot assessed the situation, it began to act. The clone could only try to fly a kite, but it couldn't maneuver properly in the confined terrain.

Xu Zhenqing's soul tried to cast a curse on the robot after seeing this, but the curse originated from the characteristic of "calamity", which in turn came from the fate of a child. This fate's power was effective against living beings, but it was powerless against machines.

The only thing I can do is cast a curse on Isaacs; it's better than nothing.

The clones were quickly caught off guard and were all killed by the robots.

The latest novel is first published here!

Marcus, who was on the run, stopped after hearing the Red Queen's report. Rather than die a miserable death while fleeing, he chose to commit suicide.

"Goodbye, my old friend, no, never again!" Isaacs laughed wildly.

Xu Zhenqing felt extremely frustrated. All his abilities came from his soul, and many of his methods were useless against a soulless machine.

In New York, combining an Old Testament Seraphim and the Truth Cult to create a monster might offer a fighting chance, but in Raccoon City, it's simply too far away to do anything about it.

In Xu Zhenqing's eyes, Isaacs had already been added to his death list.

He could take Marcus's soul away and then arrange for him to be reincarnated, since he was, after all, his future father-in-law.

Isaacs publicly announced Marcus's death in the media, causing Umbrella's stock value to plummet.

After accompanying Alicia through Marcus's hasty funeral, Xu Zhenqing inherited Umbrella's shares.

Some company executives who had initially decided to join Marcus began to waver, as a young leader in power is difficult to trust.

Xu Zhenqing and Alicia wanted to transfer their teachers or familiar employees to some departments, but the personnel department was out of control. Of course, they could arrange personnel without going through the personnel department, but the prerequisite was to become a director first.

However, the shareholders' meeting takes time, during which the company is essentially out of control.

After resolving the personnel issues through Marcus's underhanded tactics and the Red Queen, Xu Zhenqing became a temporary director of Umbrella at the shareholders' meeting, and would take over the position after Alicia came of age.

The company matters were resolved, but the issue of the ruins was the most urgent. Xu Zhenqing discovered that even the Red Queen had no information about the specific location of the ruins. Only Marcus and Isaacs knew about this; everyone else was under closed management, allowed to enter but not leave.

Xu Zhenqing could only keep pressuring Isaacs to go to the ruins.

But Isaacs thought he was invincible with just one robot, because he didn't know Xu Zhenqing's methods.

Today I was dealing with student loan applications, it was such a hassle. There are only 100 slots available each day, and I couldn't get a reservation. After that, I went to pick up my sister-in-law, and we drove all day on mountain roads. I'll make up for it with the third update tomorrow, which will cost 50 monthly votes.
