Infinite: From the Resident Evil

Chapter 209! The Battle to Defend the Pillars of District (Part )

……

But at this moment, gunshots were heard at the stairs of the platform. It was Shen Ye who came up. After taking care of the dozen or so Shinra soldiers, Shen Ye picked up a rifle with his toes, grabbed it and threw it to Biggs, who was a little dazed.

"Leave this to me, you take them down first." After Shen Ye said this, he was about to continue climbing.

"Wait, I'll go with you." Biggs came to his senses and shouted quickly.

"Do you want to sit back and watch them do nothing?" Shen Ye pointed at the wounded behind Biggs, "If they don't get treatment, they'll die."

"But...if the pillars of District 7 collapse, more people will die, and we will be blamed for the avalanche in the eyes of the poor." Biggs said through gritted teeth.

"I am going to stop them from destroying the pillars of District 7." Shen Ye understood Biggs's feelings very well and continued, "You can't stop them with your ability alone. Even if you suffer more casualties, it will be useless. So take them down while they are still alive."

Biggs was still a little hesitant, but after hearing the painful groans from the wounded behind him, he could only nod: "Then I'll trouble you, Shen, you must stop them from destroying the pillars of District 7."

Shen Ye didn't say anything, just waved his hand behind his back and continued climbing the stairs at full speed.

Along the way, there were very few Shinra soldiers who stopped him, so after spending some effort, the platform at the top of the pillar appeared in front of him.

On top of this platform, there is a control console that can control the pillars. By entering the emergency number, the pillars and the disc can be separated, and the seventh zone of the disc can be easily dropped.

However, since Scarlett informed Tifa in advance, and only a small number of residents on the seventh disk had evacuated, Shinra did not send many people here at the beginning. It was not until the people of Avalanche rushed to the platform desperately that Shinra sent helicopters to transport some soldiers to compete with Avalanche for the control console.

At this time, the top platform had become the most intense battlefield on the pillar. Avalanche members led by Barrett, with the help of Claude, exchanged fire with soldiers who kept getting off the helicopter, fighting for control of the console in the center of the platform. Someone fell down almost every second, but someone else would fill that position the next second.

Seeing that the attack was unsuccessful, Shinra Company became anxious and immediately ordered its men to send more armed helicopters to provide support.

With the support of a large number of armed helicopters, the number of Avalanche members on the platform became fewer and fewer. When Shen Ye was about to arrive, only Barrett, Jesse and Claude were left on the platform.

Although he called himself a 1ST-level special forces soldier, Claude's strength at this time was actually far from that level. Under the attack of several armed helicopters, he could only dodge in vain on the top platform. After a long time, he was able to swing a sword energy with a certain threat, forcing back the transport helicopter that tried to land, and then he was hit by dense bullets and ran around everywhere.

Just when Claude was forced into a corner by several armed helicopters and could only wield his giant sword to resist, the transport helicopter finally landed on the platform, and several members of the Turks came down from it, including Renault and Luther who had been scared away by Shen Ye before.

"Hurry up, enter the emergency number now before that guy comes up." Looking at Barrett and Jesse who rushed out to shoot at them, Luther urged Renault.

"Got it. I'm already doing it." Renault also looked nervous. He ran to the console and entered the number in a panic, but panic makes it easy to make mistakes. Renault entered the emergency number several times in a row, but every time he pressed OK, he was prompted that the number was wrong.

Just as he took a few deep breaths and was about to re-enter the input, he suddenly felt a familiar energy fluctuation. Without thinking, he jumped to the side and saw a ball of pure energy hitting the console.

Boom! The console was blown into a pile of scrap metal on the spot.

Looking at the control console that was blown into a pile of scrap metal, Renault's back was instantly soaked with sweat. He knew very well how strong the console was. As the core part of the entire pillar, it was difficult for ordinary bombs to cause damage to it. After all, the pillar was related to the stability and safety of the disc.

He couldn't believe what would happen to him if the energy ball hit him, but at the same time he was glad that the other party's target was the console.

"Hey, Renault, stop being in a daze and run!"

Seeing Shen Ye appear on the platform, Luther's big bald head was covered with sweat. After shouting to Renault who was still lying on the ground, he quickly used the communicator to call for a helicopter to come down to pick them up.

Soon, the transport helicopter came down.

However, it exploded into a ball of fire in mid-air and then fell down. Luther was so scared that he picked up Renault and ran away, avoiding the fragments that were falling on his head.

Shen Ye glanced at them but did not chase after them because there were more and more armed helicopters overhead and he had to deal with them first.

bang bang bang...

Shen Ye fired continuously, sending out more than a dozen waves of mental energy, and several armed helicopters exploded into a ball of fire in the air.

Seeing this, the remaining armed helicopter pilots climbed upwards and dared not approach the top platform again.

"Shen."

At this time, Barrett, Jesse and others who had a chance to catch their breath ran over. Jesse hugged Shen Ye excitedly and kissed him in front of Barrett, Claude, more than a dozen armed helicopters and helicopters that were broadcasting live.

Fortunately, Jesse knew that this was not the right place, so he just kissed Shen Ye and let go.

However, even so, the scene of the two kissing was broadcast live. Although many people watching the live broadcast did not care much, three women frowned at the same time.

Alice and Marlene, who were protecting Marin, looked at each other. In addition to dissatisfaction, there was confusion in their eyes. They wondered when Jesse and Shen Ye got together, and they actually knew nothing about it.

The other person who frowned was Scarlett. She had been watching the live broadcast, and when she saw this scene, in addition to dissatisfaction, she was more envious. She also wanted to hug and kiss Shen Ye in front of everyone.

But she could only think about it, as she had more important things to do now.

"Little sister, are you still not well?"

Scarlett took out a communicator and shouted to the person on the other end of it.

"It's almost there." Yuffie shouted into the communicator, then winked at Sonon, and stood behind the door of the control room of the Shinra Building's live broadcast room.

Sonon immediately pointed a stick as thick as his wrist at the Shinra employee who was controlling the live broadcast and said to him, "Play this recording, or I'll smash your head."

……

Chapter 210! Approval

…………

The Shinra employee looked at the stick that Sonon was holding over his head with trepidation. Although his superior always told him to give everything for Shinra, not to succumb to violence and to carry forward Shinra's fearless spirit, the superior who said this was already lying on the floor of the live broadcast control room with a hole as big as a bowl on his head.

"Thank you for giving me the job, but I want to live." The Shinra employee said silently in his heart. Although he knew very well that the things he was asked to play would definitely have an impact on Shinra, he did not want to die yet.

After plugging the recorder handed to him by Sonon into the socket, the Shinra employee began to import the audio into the computer.

The audio file was not large and was uploaded quickly, but the Shinra employee hesitated again and was reluctant to press the button to confirm playback.

Just as Sonon was getting a little impatient, the Shinra employee took a deep breath and pressed the button.

The next second, the live broadcast of the entire Midgar went black, and then began to play the conversation between the Shinra executives in the conference room...

"What's going on? What's happening?" In the operations office, when Heidegger saw the live broadcast was cut off, he flew into a rage, grabbed the soldier in front of him and yelled at him.

"I... I'm not sure either, Minister Heidegger. Maybe... maybe the signal is bad, or there's a problem in the control room." The poor soldier had saliva sprayed all over his face, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it off. He spoke tremblingly about his possible guess.

"Then take someone to the control room for me, and then send someone..." Before Heidegger could finish his words, he heard a familiar conversation coming from the black screen.

"…Informants report…Most of the people involved in Avalanche are hiding in Block 7…"

"The 7th Block is very large, and we can't find their exact location..."

“…What should I do…”

"It's very simple. No matter where they hide, just send people to kill everyone in Block 7, just like we did in Wutai..."

Heard this, and Heidegger was completely stunned. Their meeting conversation was actually recorded.

But he didn't have time to think about who did it. He immediately yelled at the captured soldier: "Whatever you do, cut off the power supply to the control room of the live broadcast room."

It doesn't matter if his words are leaked, but President Shinra's words must never be leaked, otherwise no one can bear the responsibility.

"Minister...the power supply of the control room is independent..." the soldier said in panic.

"It's over!" Heidegger's eyes went dark for a moment, and then he heard the voice of Shinra's president:

"...Tear down the pillars of the seventh area...let the disc fall down...we can then claim that it was an avalanche that did it..."

……

"...Tear down the pillars of the seventh area...let the disc fall down...we can then claim that it was an avalanche that did it..."

When the voice of the Shinra president was broadcast throughout Midgar via live broadcast, all the residents of Midgar who were watching the live broadcast were shocked.

"…It turned out to be…it turned out to be an order from President Shinra…"

"In order to eliminate the avalanche, they actually wanted to sacrifice the lives of an entire slum."

"We were deceived. We were all deceived. The avalanche did not want to destroy the Seventh District Pillar, but wanted to... protect the Seventh District Pillar."

Everyone who was watching the live broadcast heard similar discussions, and then more people joined in the discussion. As the voices gathered together, they turned into a sound wave like a tsunami.

In the seventh district, the controlled poor people were already enraged, and they began to attack the blockade set up by the Shinra soldiers at all costs. Although they were suppressed by the Shinra soldiers' gunfire, as more and more people gathered, the Shinra soldiers, who were outnumbered, could no longer hold their line.

"I never thought that Scarlett would do this for Shen."

"She really went out of her way to help Shen!"

Not far from the street where the conflict broke out, Aerith and Tifa, who was holding Marin, looked at the angry crowd and sighed.

Although no one told them who did it, they both thought of Scarlett. After all, as a high-ranking member of Shinra, only Scarlett had the ability to obtain the meeting recording.

"Shen will definitely be grateful to her for doing this." Alice said again.

"I think I'm touched..." Tifa corrected Alice, then sighed, "I feel a sense of crisis!"

……

On the top platform of the pillar of the seventh zone, Shen Ye put away his revolver as he watched the evacuating armed helicopter.

The battle to defend the pillar is over.

"Thank you, Scarlett." Not only Alice and Tifa, Shen Ye naturally guessed who got the recording.

In fact, just as Alice and Tifa said, Shen Ye is not only grateful now, but more moved, moved by what Scarlett has done for him.

Suddenly, Shen Ye had the urge to meet Scarlett, but he quickly suppressed it because now was not the time to look for Scarlett.

"Let's go." With a slight sigh, Shen Ye said to Jesse beside him.

"Yeah!" Jesse nodded.

Shen Ye and Jesse were the last to leave the platform at the top of the pillar.

Because he was worried about his daughter's safety, Barrett left immediately after the helicopter left. Claude also left with him. This guy served as Barrett's thug along the way.

However, when he was about to go down, Shen Ye seemed to sense something and looked back at the Shinra Building. Even though they were far away, he still saw Sephiroth standing at the top of the building... and Grayfira surrounding him.

Not sure if it was an illusion or something, but Shen Ye actually saw Sephiroth nodded to him, as if approving of him.

But when Shen Ye looked over carefully, Sephiroth was no longer on the top of the building.

"Shen, what are you looking at?" Jesse asked puzzledly when he saw Shen Ye stop and look back.

Shen Ye retracted his gaze, chuckled, rubbed her head, and said, "It's nothing, let's continue."

Jesse frowned, but did not continue asking. Then he put on a smile, unbuttoned his breastplate as he walked, then hugged Shen Ye's arm with a smile, and said playfully:

"It's just a small benefit, not a sign of respect!"

"Yeah, it's really small." Feeling the softness on his arm, Shen Ye said with a double meaning.
