Chapter 119 - Ah, Ada Wong! Those Legs Are to Die For!
"So you want to research the T-Virus too?"
Although Bai Ye hadn't revealed this before, Jiru understood what Bai Ye was trying to do.
He also wanted to research the T-Virus, and how was that any different from Umbrella?
Thinking of this, Jiru couldn't help but feel a bit of anger in his heart; he felt as if he had been deceived by Bai Ye.
He had always thought Bai Ye was a good person, completely different from those people at Umbrella Corporation.
Now it seemed how naive he had been; it turned out this guy was also an ambitious person.
"This world isn't black and white. I want to cultivate a group of people who can solve the world's problems, just like you said — those guys are strong. The T-Virus and other outbreaks have already occurred. If we still rely on old ways of thinking to deal with them, we will surely die miserably. Those guys are getting stronger and stronger, and we need to become stronger too!"
After Bai Ye finished speaking, he felt a little distressed; it seemed his "mouth no jutsu" hadn't been fully mastered.
Looking at it this way, it was indeed most effective after giving the opponent a good beating.
"Sorry, I don't understand, so please let me get out of the car."
"I think we should just get off here then."
Bai Ye originally wanted to persuade him a bit more, but after seeing Jiru's resolute gaze, he understood that convincing Jiru was most likely impossible.
What a pity.
The first invitation to join had been unsuccessful, but Jiru's refusal was within Bai Ye's expectations. As soon as he mentioned researching the T-Virus, someone like Ada probably wouldn't think much of it, but a woman with a strong sense of justice like Jiru would never agree to such a thing.
He could lie to Jiru and say he wasn't researching this stuff, but as long as Jiru joined the organization, the truth would eventually be exposed. Rather than having Jiru find out later, it was better to say it directly now — at least it wouldn't plant a time bomb.
"Get off here. I'll remember that you saved me. So, this is goodbye."
Jiru got out of the car by the roadside, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes as she looked at the zombie-infested street.
After leaving here, where could she go?
Wandering aimlessly in Raccoon City, although she knew some things about Umbrella Corporation, she didn't even know their location now.
Just as she was feeling a bit lost, she suddenly remembered the police station Bai Ye had mentioned earlier.
Coupled with the series of events before, Jiru felt that everything was inextricably linked to the police chief.
That guy was definitely colluding with Umbrella Corporation.
"Since he went to the police station, then it seems I should go to Umbrella's Hive first."
Inside the car, after Bai Ye sensed Jiru's movements, he turned the car around and drove directly in another direction.
The research facility also had G Virus samples, and although they had been shattered, wasn't William a very good sample?
Originally, Bai Ye had wanted to play it safe and get the sample from Sherry's necklace first, but now that Jiru was going there, there was no need for him to go for the time being.
Moreover, a woman like Jiru, before understanding the truth of the world, probably wouldn't abandon her inner sense of justice.
If she had just left with Bai Ye, he would have suspected she had other motives. Although Jiru had experienced the mansion incident, her beliefs remained firm, and her sense of justice was overflowing.
This could be seen from various actions in the game, so Bai Ye's invitation had been just a pretense. He hadn't expected it to succeed the first time; there would be plenty of opportunities later.
The underground research facility was the top priority; William, that sample, was still waiting for him there — and it could continuously evolve, after all.
There was also the Zombie from CSOL — Bai Ye couldn't even imagine it. If those weapons were factored in, with their ancient graphics and ancient designs, even if he was powerful, that stuff could really kill him!
If someone said Bai Ye had suddenly been researched, he wouldn't believe it; it must have been equipped by aliens, right?
Moreover, the timelines of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 are actually concurrent, so Bai Ye didn't know what William's situation was now. If Claire and Leon had already finished him off, then going there would be pointless.
With that in mind, Bai Ye sped up to the maximum. According to the information Red Queen had collected for him before, the Hive's location was not very far from here.
However, after driving there, Bai Ye suddenly realized a problem and asked Red Queen, "Red Queen, did you collect all the data just now? Logically speaking, Umbrella's underground research facility should be in the police station area and accessed through the internal sewer pipes!"
Bai Ye had suddenly realized another issue: Umbrella's underground research facility should not be on the surface but underground. How could there be a direct entrance into it?
But then again, that wasn't quite right either — not everyone could go through the sewer pipes, which meant there had to be a normal entrance for research personnel.
"It's fine, I understand. Just give me that entrance."
"The entrance is ahead, but access requires authorization. Those without authorization cannot open this door."
Red Queen explained that to enter through the main door, one needed authorization; people without it could not enter.
"Can you crack it?"
"It will take some time."
Red Queen seemed more intelligent than before.
Was it a change that had occurred after she was connected to the network?
"I am still working hard to learn. If I had William's research data, I could participate in the research of the G Virus."
Impressive — truly worthy of being the Red Queen from the movie world. Speaking of which, if this AI weren't loyal to him, it would genuinely feel quite terrifying.
The power of AI lies in the fact that it never needs rest. It can work day and night according to set commands and is constantly learning and improving.
"So what if I got you some weapon design blueprints?"
"If materials are available, it can be attempted, but the knowledge needs to be learned first."
This researcher seemed inexplicably indispensable.
Bai Ye had originally been wondering who to find to conduct research for him, but he hadn't noticed such a capable researcher right in front of him.
He had overlooked one point: Red Queen was an AI and could continuously evolve. When she was first given to Bai Ye as a reward, she could only chat simply with him and learn from their conversations.
Connecting to the network had obviously allowed Red Queen to learn far faster.
"Next time I find an opportunity, I will let you learn everything you can from the outside."
Before, due to the Tyrant's intrusion, she had only temporarily obtained some knowledge. Once there were no more problems, Bai Ye would arrange for Red Queen to learn everything she could.
He might not trust others to do research, but Red Queen — as his reward for joining the chat group — was completely loyal to him.
"Yes, Master."
A human-like flicker of emotion flashed in the eyes of the intelligently rendered Red Queen. Clearly, Red Queen had a considerable drive for knowledge; she eagerly hoped to grow, and learning was very important to her.
"The large door ahead is the entrance to the underground research facility's Hive. Cracking it will take about ten seconds."
Red Queen used backend data theft to directly crack the identity authentication at the door. For her, Umbrella's identity verification system was not a profound obstacle.
A click.
The door in front of them was deciphered by Red Queen, and then the internal power system activated. Before it was cracked, the power above had been automatically disconnected — not only making it impossible to open this specially made door, but also ensuring that even if it were forcibly broken, no one could descend without power.
"Don't move — FBI agent!"
"?"
Behind Bai Ye, a female voice slowly rang out, while its owner stared with interest at Bai Ye's arm: "Is this an AI? You Umbrella people even researched something like this?"
Ada Wong had originally been planning to see if she could enter through the main entrance. By stealing other people's credentials, she had tried several times before Bai Ye arrived, but all of them had failed without exception.
She had already been preparing to leave and enter the underground research facility through the underground pipes.
However, before she left, she spotted a figure walking directly towards Umbrella's underground research facility.
She had originally intended to go, but instinctively wanted to see what Bai Ye was doing, so she stayed. Unexpectedly, she discovered a secret.
"Don't move — a gun won't reason with you!"
Ada Wong wanted to uncover the secrets Bai Ye was hiding.
At least that AI seemed to hold no less value than the T-Virus itself.
"I bet your gun has no bullets."
Saying this, Bai Ye slowly turned around, preparing to take Ada Wong's pistol. A cold smile flashed across Ada Wong's face as she pulled the trigger and said coolly, "Sorry, you bet wrong..."
Click.
Ada Wong's face instantly stiffened. She fired several more shots, but no bullets came out.
Before she could make her next move, Bai Ye snatched her pistol, then aimed the barrel at her hairline and fired a full clip — all the bullets narrowly missing her hair.
"Ada Wong — or should I call you something else?"
Ah, Ada Wong!
This woman standing before him was truly the most captivating woman in the entire game. The first impression she gave Bai Ye was stunning; she was a completely different type from Jiru.
"It seems you're not an Umbrella Corporation employee. I misjudged you just now. You used AI to crack Umbrella's verification — honestly, since we're both heading into the Hive, why don't we..."
As she spoke, the hidden knife in Ada Wong's right hand instantly slashed toward Bai Ye.
At such a close distance, she was confident she could instantly subdue him. As long as she held the knife to his neck, he would lose the ability to resist.
"Just a little off — always just a little off. Your speed really is a bit slow."
Bai Ye raised two fingers and clamped the knife between them, smiling as he looked at Ada Wong. To Bai Ye, Ada Wong was more like a highly competent employee; although she had her own agenda during work hours, she generally completed the tasks assigned to her.
However, this person had her own little schemes, so compared to someone with a strong sense of justice like Jiru, she was harder to manage — but her abilities were exceptional, she was resourceful, and she could actually accept the current research on the T-Virus.
Besides, the members in the group kept calling out for Ada Wong, so he might as well bring her in. What boss wouldn't appreciate a capable female employee?
"You're really not a gentleman at all."
"The men who were gentlemen to you are probably all dead by now, right? So, besides a fool, who would be a gentleman to someone working for The Organization — someone who doesn't even go by her real name?"
By now, Wesker had also joined Ada Wong's organization for cooperation.
And Ada Wong's actual task was to monitor Wesker and complete assignments given by the organization — such as acquiring the G Virus sample this time.
"You really do know me well. So, can you let me go for now, my ardent admirer?"
Ada Wong appeared to be backing down, but in Bai Ye's eyes it was merely a performance. He glanced at the pistol tucked against her thigh and immediately understood what she was planning.
She released the blade in her hand and took a step back, then let her body fall backward — instinctively using the momentum to launch a kick at Bai Ye.
A backflip kick?
Bai Ye raised his hand and caught Ada Wong's foot. The motion froze in midair, and Bai Ye subconsciously touched his nose. He hadn't meant for that to happen.
All the same, he thought of what Shinji had said about Rin Tohsaka in Fate — those legs. Ada Wong's seemed no worse than Rin Tohsaka's!
"Still want to play, Ms. Ada Wong?"
"I surrender. Could you please put me down, Mr. Gentleman?"
Ada Wong had a headache. She had clearly planned everything out. Even if she couldn't beat Bai Ye, after creating some distance, she could find an opportunity to escape, remember his face, and then investigate him thoroughly.
But she hadn't expected the gap in strength between them to be so enormous. In desperation, Ada Wong had no choice but to concede. She knew very well that she was no match for Bai Ye at this moment — completely overwhelmed.
Moreover, the other party already knew her information, so deception was out of the question. He was truly difficult to deal with. She should have gone through the underground passage earlier instead of waiting here while Bai Ye opened the door.
She hadn't even considered that someone confidently walking up to the door like that must have had good reason to. Now, she was at a loss.
There was still one last move — somewhat underhanded, but she was prepared to throw caution to the wind.
Ada Wong's gaze shifted to a particular spot, her final decision clearly made. She had only this one chance left!
