Chapter 102: Scouting and Waiting

The next morning, the three Mr. Qians set off separately to attend to their tasks.

Since the Biochemical Warriors had left the Infinity Ring, they cleared out a vast space, making their operations much easier.

Qian Modo employed some unconventional methods to procure fake identification for all the Biochemical Warriors. Then, carrying a large amount of equipment within the Infinity Ring, they boarded a commercial flight to Las Vegas together.

Upon arrival, they retrieved a vehicle and quietly drove into a desolate, uninhabited area to find a suitable location to begin large-scale construction.

Thanks to the advanced facilities and the incredibly high efficiency of the Biochemical Warriors, the base’s construction progressed at an extraordinary pace. Within just five days, an underground space had been excavated.

Meanwhile, Qian Yaodo and Qian Bodo each led two subordinates, using their own means to acquire plundered wealth and gather resources.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

As for Ma Jun himself, he led Qian Xudo back to Raccoon City, where there were still matters to attend to.

The spread of the zombies was highly efficient and rapid. Given the current plane of existence and the technology Ma Jun possessed, it was impossible to stop the outbreak without deploying large-scale destructive weapons.

The hive had already been reopened, so logically, the virus should have begun spreading.

However, in reality, Ma Jun had entered the hive from a secret estate on the outskirts of Raccoon City. Thus, the virus's diffusion still required some time. This area was sparsely populated, and the transmission medium was still slowly forming.

Therefore, Raccoon City at this moment remained as peaceful as ever, with people coming and going and vehicles moving in an orderly fashion, without any sign of chaos.

While wandering around, Ma Jun noticed Qian Xudo’s thoughtful expression and laughed, “Still reminiscing? Didn’t get enough comfort last night? You haven’t come back to your senses yet.”

“Heh heh, no!” Qian Xudo quickly replied. “Boss, I’m thinking about how to develop in this world to bring us the greatest benefits!”

“Thought of something? Tell me!” Ma Jun asked with keen interest.

Although the personalities of the four Mr. Qians differed greatly, and Ma Jun believed in the saying that character determines destiny, he was well aware that these guys possessed sharp intellect and emotional intelligence.

Just because Qian Xudo didn’t usually ponder such matters didn’t mean he couldn’t.

“Based on our activities in other planes, the best benefits come from changing the original way the plane operates! So…” Qian Xudo began slowly.

“So, the best approach in this apocalyptic plane is to save the world? Restore humanity’s original peace?” Ma Jun interrupted, asking rhetorically.

“That’s why you’re the boss. You think long-term!” Qian Xudo chuckled.

“But I have no interest in being a savior!” Ma Jun shrugged.

“Why not?” Qian Xudo asked in surprise.

“Because this plane is already a ruined script! I’ve read too many infinite books that start with a biohazard outbreak. It’s nauseating.”

“What?”

“The Earth in this plane is headed for death. I don’t have the power to save her!” Ma Jun returned to himself as if he had never said the earlier words.

“Oh, that’s fine. You’re the boss; whatever you decide is certainly right!” Qian Xudo said firmly.

Last night had been stormy, but today the sun shone brightly, and the air was heavy with heat.

Fortunately, Ma Jun was skilled in profound internal energy, so he was not overly bothered by the unusual temperature. He took out a cigar from his pocket, and Qian No. Four immediately reached out with a lighter, looking every bit the competent subordinate.

“No. Four, how about we check out Raccoon City Junior High School?” Ma Jun said, exhaling smoke comfortably.

“Going to find some schoolgirls? Better to go to the university!” Qian Xudo blurted out.

Ma Jun turned his head and looked at Qian Xudo calmly.

Qian Xudo gave an embarrassed smile. “Just kidding, just kidding…” He quickly waved his hand and hailed a taxi. “To Raccoon City Junior High School!”

Without the little flower by his side, Ma Jun’s memory of certain plot details was rather vague.

Although cultivating internal energy and being enhanced by the system had deepened many memories from his past life, he only remembered the broad strokes of the storyline.

So, to facilitate the upcoming tasks, he needed to scout around and prepare.

Since classes were in session, Ma Jun and Qian Xudo strolled around the school gates and nearby before leaving, leaving Qian Xudo thoroughly confused.

Over the next few days, the two toured various parts of Raccoon City. Under Qian Xudo’s arrangement, Ma Jun even sampled some unique local delicacies and enjoyed the nightlife amidst the dazzling lights.

Meanwhile, the base in the western desert area had already been established. Qian Yaodo and Qian Bodo had also transported an initial batch of supplies there.

With ample experience, the cultivation of Biochemical Warriors was underway, yielding impressive results. As for equipment, it was not something that could be produced quickly.

Fortunately, the Biochemical Warriors themselves had reached the peak capabilities of human special forces. Armed with some weapons from this plane, their combat strength remained formidable.

Nearly two months had passed, and Ma Jun had become well acquainted with the streets of Raccoon City and the matters he wished to understand.

Yet one problem remained: he had not found the research facility where Alice was held.

Even after hacking into networks, there was not a single clue.

“Looks like Umbrella Corporation does a pretty good job protecting these secrets!” Ma Jun said, sitting in the temporary base room in Stonewell Town, exhaling smoke.

“Boss, we should have injected a tracker directly into Alice’s body back then. Then we could easily know where she is!” Qian Xudo suggested from the side.

“Umbrella Corporation had to study Alice thoroughly. They would strip her naked and examine her inside and out. Any tracker would certainly be detected and removed. Maybe out of caution, they didn’t even study Alice. If so, our mission would fail!” Ma Jun smiled.

“You always think ahead, boss!” Qian Xudo admired.

“Enough with the flattery!” Ma Jun blew out a puff of smoke. “Did the monitors you placed in Raccoon City’s underground sewer system detect any abnormalities?”

“Not yet,” Qian Xudo shook his head.

“After all this time, Umbrella Corporation still hasn’t made a move?” Ma Jun pondered.

After Umbrella’s hired squad was wiped out in the hive, they entered the hive a second time. This time, they came in through the underground city center entrance, causing a full-scale, large outbreak of the Raccoon City biohazard.

In just over ten hours, the entire city descended into complete chaos. Ma Jun had to act before this moment.

“Boss, something’s happening!” Suddenly, Qian Xudo slid his chair to the nearby table, staring excitedly at the computer.

“Great! Tomorrow morning, the two of us will go have some fun at the Memmen Bridge!” Ma Jun said.

“Memmen Bridge? The main entrance to Raccoon City!”
