But Wesker on the side sneered.

The reason why he was willing to let Chris check and collect the evidence was because he believed that Chris and the STARS team members would never escape from the mansion. In this case, facing some dead people, they could know whatever they wanted to know. Wesker didn't care anyway.

Furthermore,

He had already prepared a backup plan just in case...

And on the other side,

Deep in the underground experimental research institute,

The only surviving member of the Bravo team is Enrique Marini, the captain of the Bravo team. This middle-aged man, who is nearly 40 years old, is looking at all the documents in front of him with a serious face.

At this moment, Enrique was covered in blood, and his leather jacket and tactical vest were torn. There was no doubt that he had gone through a difficult battle to get here. The zombies he encountered along the way and these research data also made Enrique clearly know that Umbrella Corporation was the real mastermind behind the scenes.

This is a shocking case involving a biochemical virus.

In order to expose the conspiracy of the Umbrella Company, Enrique, the captain of the Bravo team, also plans to take the evidence out.

Therefore, Enrique was extremely nervous at this time. His 20-year police career had made him feel very nervous. Sweat soaked his messy hair. Enrique was nervously holding a pile of documents and a USB flash drive and putting them into his bag.

but……

Until he saw a photo dropped in the corner,

It was a group photo of researchers from the Umbrella Corporation.

There were five people in total, just simple black and white photos, but Enrique felt very familiar with the people on them. The first one was the famous William Birkin. This genius biologist of the Umbrella Corporation was often on TV. He often appeared on TV for his research on various drugs, and won unanimous praise from the news media and the general public.

Unfortunately, he never appeared in the public eye again. It seemed that the rumor was that he was researching some new medicine behind closed doors. However, as a veteran police officer and the captain of the Bravo team, Enrique must have memorized the data card of a person of this level. After all, who made him an important member of the Umbrella Corporation?

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is the person in the corner of the five photos...

A familiar man in a white coat, with a slicked-back hair and wearing dark sunglasses. Although the man in the photo had a happy smile on his face, Enrique, who was familiar with his personality, understood that it was actually a forced fake smile, because in reality, the cold man rarely showed any emotion about anything.

after all……

The man in the photo is Wesker—!

Enrique can say with absolute certainty that the guy in the photo is Albert Wesker, the captain of their STARS team. Enrique can recognize him even if he turns into ashes. This is why Enrique can be sure that Wesker in the photo is faking his smile, because he knows this guy Wesker too well.

I have been working with Wesker for nearly a few years.

It was difficult for Enrique to see any real emotions on this man's face. It was as if everything was hidden deep in his heart. He was very cunning and a very dangerous guy.

When he first met Wesker, Enrique, with his more than 20 years of experience as a police officer, could accurately judge that Wesker was not suitable for police work because he was too cunning. In Enrique's opinion, this kind of person seemed more suitable for some cunning criminals.

Wesker is a typical person who is suitable to be both an official and a thief. He can rule the world and be a hero in troubled times. Unfortunately, due to the virus, Wesker seems to prefer to be a villain.

But what made Enrique even more puzzled was why Wesker's photo appeared here, and in the information file of Umbrella Corporation. Could it be that... before Wesker was transferred to the Raccoon City Police Department, he had worked as a researcher for Umbrella Corporation?

Enrique felt inexplicably suspicious about this.

Although the Raccoon City Police Department and the STARS team are funded by the Umbrella Corporation, Enrique will not let go of the evil deeds of the Umbrella Corporation in the face of major issues.

As for Wesker,

If he had been a researcher for the Umbrella Corporation and was now the captain of the STARS team, it would be hard for Enrique not to suspect that Wesker was a surveillance officer specially sent by the Umbrella Corporation, just in case these little policemen were idle and suddenly discovered the secrets of the Umbrella Corporation.

This guess is very likely.

But he needed some evidence to prove that Wesker was the traitor, otherwise no one would believe him. Thinking of this... the experienced Enrique was ready to slowly find out Wesker's flaws.

but,

Just when Enrique was about to put the photo away, he suddenly heard clear footsteps coming from behind him, which made Enrique's nerves completely tense. He immediately hid in the corner with his pistol tightly in his hand.

"Ta Tata..."

"Ta Tata..."

There were two footsteps.

The people who came were Chris and Wesker.

At this moment, the two did not notice Enrique hiding in the corner, and Enrique did not immediately recognize Chris and Wesker. Instead, he subconsciously thought that they were zombies or Umbrella Company handlers. After all, such a big secret was hidden in there, and someone would definitely come to destroy it.

If Enrique can capture the logistics handler of the Umbrella Company, then things will become much simpler. After all, with a witness, he can expose the crimes of the Umbrella Company however he wants!

that's it,

Neither side is aware of the other's existence.

As for Enrique, the old policeman, he took a deep breath and immediately entered the state of holding his breath. This method can make his mind highly tense, empty his brain and focus on one thing. At the same time, he can temporarily stop breathing to reduce the possibility of being discovered.

After all, Enrique didn't want to be discovered in advance by the Umbrella Company's logistics personnel because of his nervous breathing!

"Ta Tata..."

"Ta Tata..."

The footsteps were getting closer.

Chris and Wesker still stepped into the laboratory where Enrique was hiding, but the vigilant Wesker still found a clue and immediately reached out his hand to stop Chris beside him.

Looking at everything in the laboratory through his dark and cold sunglasses, Wesker's face suddenly darkened.

Because Wesker felt that the laboratory was a bit too messy. It didn't feel like it had been sealed for a long time. The dust on the documents had been wiped off, as if they had just been flipped through. What's more important was that there was a sweaty smell in the air, as if someone had just been here.

After all, after being strengthened by the Progenitor Virus, even though it is only in the initial strengthening stage, Wesker's sense of smell, vision and other perception abilities have been greatly enhanced, so it is easy for him to smell other smells in the air.

Of course,

Chris, who was standing by, also noticed something was wrong.

He didn't have a dog-like nose like Wesker. Chris confirmed the situation by discovering sweat stains on the ground. When people are highly nervous, they will also produce body heat dissipation. The sweating system is not just in the forehead, armpits, etc., but all the hair follicles on the body will sweat, but the amount of sweating is different.

Coincidentally,

Enrique just sat on the ground.

The floor was left with clear sweat marks from his buttocks, so Chris was sure that someone had been here just now. And judging from the sweat marks that had not yet dried, it seemed that they had not been here for many minutes.

"Someone...! You guessed right, someone has just been here!"

Unaware of the dangerous atmosphere in the air, the young Chris half-knelt down, pointed at the sweat marks on the ground and spoke. As the captain, Wesker stood straight in place as if his body was stiff, without moving his body at will.

Because just now,

Wesker's sense of smell locked onto a stronger smell of sweat, and that sweat smell... seemed to be right behind them. Wesker, who had not fully awakened the Progenitor Virus, was currently unable to use teleportation skills, so he had no way to deal with the threat behind him...

“Don’t move—!!!”

"Put your hands up, let me see your hands, don't try to touch anything, otherwise I can't guarantee that the muzzle of the gun in my hand has eyes,"

There was a sudden shout from behind.

It was like a thunderclap that frightened the young Chris.

Because even Chris himself didn't expect that there was someone hiding behind them. On the contrary, Wesker on the side seemed to have expected it. He raised his hands very cooperatively, but did not pull out the pistol at his waist.

see,

Seeing that Captain Wesker had compromised, the young Chris naturally had no choice but to raise his hands tactfully.

so far,

They both had their backs to the goal.

Without seeing the other party's identity clearly, and without being able to determine the other party's position, if you rashly draw your gun and turn around to shoot, you will probably be killed immediately if you are not quick enough to react. Therefore, there is no other way except to compromise.

but……

When both Wesker and Chris turned back,

The two were stunned because the person who was yelling and warning them was none other than Enrique Marini, the captain of the Bravo team. Enrique himself was also stunned. He did not expect that the Umbrella logistics handler he wanted to catch turned out to be a member of the STARS team.

"Hey, Captain Enrique, why is it you—?!"

"Please wait, don't shoot, I'm Chris, he's Captain Wesker, we're all family!"

After confirming that everyone is a friendly force,

The young Chris heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly explained loudly. However, although he was stunned, Enrique in front of him did not let down his guard immediately. Instead, he glanced at Wesker next to him. It was impossible for him to let down his guard before this guy confirmed his identity. Who made him find the photo of Wesker researcher in the laboratory?

This means...

Before joining the Raccoon City Police Department as the captain of the STARS team, Wesker participated in and knew about these inhumane experiments. It is very likely... this guy is a mole!

"Chris, why are you here? Where are the others?"

"Have you seen the rest of the Bravo team? Are Javier and Rebecca alive? I was too careless and brought them into this hellish Arklay Mountains. It's full of monsters and it's a human slaughterhouse."

But be vigilant and be vigilant again,

After seeing Chris, one of his own, Enrique couldn't help but ask about the whereabouts of the other members of the Bravo team. Among them, the two newcomers, Javier and Rebecca, made Enrique most worried.

Javier and Rebecca joined the STARS team the latest. Rebecca joined the STARS team as a medic right after graduating from college. She was lax in training and obsessed with the research of potion preparation. Her marksmanship and close combat skills were poor, and she was even very bad.

Javier had just graduated from the police academy and joined the STARS team a few months ago. He was a complete rookie with a very naughty personality. Although he had a strong shooting talent, Enrique was afraid that Javier would be too reckless and ruin his life. After all, he had seen many conceited geniuses die in this way.

In addition, the two were usually very lazy during patrols.

Therefore, Enrique was most worried about these two guys. He didn't want to cause two young police officers to lose their lives in vain because of his mistakes. If that happened... Enrique would feel very guilty.

after all……

At the beginning, he personally ordered Javier and Rebecca to form a team and go to the deep forest of the Arklay Mountains to investigate the Zodiac train. Later, he found out that there were many monsters hidden in the jungle, which were definitely not something Javier and Rebecca could deal with.

therefore,

The moment I saw Chris,

Enrique, the old captain, couldn't help but ask about the situation.

But facing this question... Chris seemed to be at a loss as to how to answer it. It was not about whether Javier and Rebecca were still alive.

On the contrary...even Chris himself felt that the performance of these two people was inferior to that of others. These two people fought their way all the way from the Zodiac train to the villa, and even helped them deal with dozens of Doberman zombie dogs. It seemed that this was no longer a question of life or death!

Chapter 20: Infernal Affairs

"This……"

"Captain Enrique, you don't have to worry. Javier and Rebecca are still alive. We have already met again in the dense forest of the Arklay Mountains before coming to the villa. And they are much more experienced than you expected."

"On the contrary...there is no contact with the other members of the Bravo team. Edward, Spier, and Richard have not been contacted. As for Sullivan, he has been confirmed dead. He died in the lobby of the villa. He was bitten to death by a zombie. Please accept my condolences."

"Our Alpha team wasn't much better. As soon as we got off the plane, Brad got scared and fled in his helicopter. Joseph was killed by the zombie dog because he was too reckless."

Facing Enrique's words,

Chris answered all the questions without hesitation, but Wesker remained cold and didn't say anything else, still maintaining his cold and ruthless attitude.

but,

Such a move,

Instead, Enrique, who was secretly observing, became even more suspicious. The members of the STARS team were killed or injured. Even if Wesker was really cold-blooded, he would at least be moved. But this... It was as if they were not his subordinates. It was even possible that Wesker didn't even recognize the living people among them.

This could really be a spy sent by Umbrella——

"That's it..."

"Captain Wesker, I want to ask you something. When you first issued the mission, did you know about the dangers in the Arklay Mountains? Or... was this a secret mission issued by the police station itself, without revealing any information?"

After listening to Chris's answer,

Enrique was silent for a while. He did not intend to reveal Wesker's true identity immediately. Instead, he asked indirectly. As a police officer for more than 20 years, Enrique planned to use his experience in rhetoric to see if he could get some clues from Wesker.

but,

As soon as these words fell,

Wesker narrowed his eyes slightly and turned his cold gaze under the dark sunglasses to him. These words... It seemed that Enrique, the captain of the Bravo team, had discovered some incredible secret and was therefore intending to doubt and question him?

Thinking of this,

Wesker's face suddenly turned ugly. Of course, he was not nervous, but angry. He used the same method to intimidate Chris as before, and answered in a very unhappy tone:

"What do you mean?"

"Enrique, are you planning to pin the death of the STARS team members on me? The mission was issued by the Raccoon City Police Department, and the order was given by the chief himself. Do you have any questions? The Arklay Mountains serial murder case has caused panic among the citizens. Haven't you been wanting to investigate it for a long time?"
