38: Competitors are enemies

After everyone had calmed down.

Joa gave the order to head to another bank a few blocks away.

'I wonder how Lorna is doing.'

'If the other bank also has this much gold, I wonder if Lorna can move it all.'

Joa remembered Polaris's ability shown in the ruins before.

She should have been strengthened by the Progenitor Virus.

But at least eighty tons of gold still made him feel a bit uncertain.

Still, the tank led the way.

Troops on both sides cleared the zombies.

Joa and his soldiers advanced steadily on the street.

However.

The commotion they caused quickly attracted the attention of other people in Raccoon City again.

The UBCS sent by Umbrella Corporation, the Umbrella Corporation, to rescue citizens, and Ada, the ace spy hired to come to Raccoon City to seize the G-Virus.

When Joa and his team went to the bank earlier, the intense gunfire had already attracted the attention of these two different factions.

But at that time, the people from these two different factions had different goals, and at the same time had to deal with a large number of zombies.

They simply had no time to figure out who was causing the commotion.

It wasn't until Joa's soldiers attracted a large area of zombies and eliminated them.

Only then did the UBCS personnel and Ada free up their hands and move towards Joa and his team, who were causing a commotion again.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.

"Carlos, Nikolai, have you arrived?"

Listening to the voice from his earphone, Carlos replied.

"T, what's wrong? We're almost there."

"All the survivors are on the subway. Hurry up."

"Understood."

Ending the communication, Carlos looked at Nikolai, who was frowning, and said.

"It seems we need to be faster."

Ignoring Carlos.

Nikolai was thinking in his heart whether the troops that were constantly blasting on the street were indeed sent by the company.

On the surface, he was a UBCS mercenary sent by Umbrella Corporation to Raccoon City to rescue citizens.

In reality, he was an inspector placed by the Umbrella Corporation within the UBCS, and his main purpose this time was to collect combat data of organic biological weapons and various troops.

But somehow, they were already preparing to evacuate, yet they hadn't even seen a Shadow of the Pursuer.

After reporting the situation here to his friend and superior, Sergei.

He came to investigate with Carlos, who was also curious if they were a rescue team.

'If they are indeed sent by Umbrella Corporation, I can leave with them.'

'If not, then it's highly likely that those people eliminated the Pursuer.'

The two walked on the empty street, feeling somewhat unaccustomed for a while.

The closer they got to that group of people, the fewer zombies there were.

Until...

"Fuck!"

As soon as Carlos poked his head out of the alley, he cursed in a low voice and immediately pulled back into the alley, concealing himself.

Seeing this, Nikolai, with a head full of White hair, whispered.

"What's wrong?"

At the same time, he cautiously peeked out onto the street outside the alley.

"What the hell?"

Also pulling his head back with a look of surprise, Nikolai and Carlos looked at each other, both greatly shocked in their hearts.

Where did those rather sci-fi tanks and various armored vehicles on the street outside come from?

How did they get into Raccoon City?

Weren't all the roads blocked?

And those fully armed special forces.

There must be over a hundred of them.

"Didn't the army already abandon Raccoon City and evacuate completely?"

Hearing Carlos's words, Nikolai snorted coldly.

"They don't look like regular soldiers."

Hearing this, Carlos frowned.

"What do You mean?"

The two talking in the alley were unaware that when they showed their heads just now, they had already been discovered by Joa's soldiers.

After discovering that Carlos and Nikolai, who were hiding, were not zombies.

At the very front, from among the soldiers walking on both sides of the tank, a ten-person squad led by an Instructor emerged.

They quietly moved towards the two's position.

In the alley.

"As far as I know, the army doesn't have that model of tank."

Hearing this, Carlos recalled carefully and nodded in agreement.

"Then these people..."

"Put down your guns! Don't move!"

Before he could finish speaking, the two were surrounded by ten fully armed soldiers who suddenly rushed into the alley.

Pointed at by more than ten dark rifle muzzles.

The two wisely put down their guns and surrendered.

After confiscating their weapons, the soldiers escorted the two back to the team.

The team briefly stopped.

"Boss."

The vehicle suddenly stopped, and Joa was about to ask what had happened.

The Instructor then escorted Carlos and Nikolai to the outside of the armored vehicle he was riding in.

Looking at the two outside through the car window.

Joa smiled.

'Isn't that Nikolai with a head full of White hair?'

'The other one is Carlos.'

'That Nikolai, he really annoyed me in the game.'

Under Jill's puzzled gaze, Joa opened the door and got out of the car.

"Boss, they just..."

He raised his hand to stop the leading Instructor's words.

Joa looked at Nikolai with a smile, and said something that the other party didn't understand.

"I wonder if You've heard the saying, 'birds of a feather flock together.'"

Immediately, he took out a Desert Eagle from his system space.

Bang!

A loud gunshot.

Nikolai's head instantly exploded like a blooming red flower bud.

Until his death, Nikolai never understood what 'birds of a feather' meant.

The 'birds of a feather' Joa referred to was, of course, the villain.

Seeing this scene, Jill in the car let out a short gasp, then immediately got out of the car.

She walked to Joa with a look of disbelief and snatched the Desert Eagle from his hand.

Then, she loudly questioned: "Fuck! What are You doing?!"

"Isn't he a survivor?"

"Why did You kill him?"

As a Police, Jill completely did not understand Joa's act of shooting and killing a surviving citizen.

Carlos, who hadn't expected Nikolai to die like this, regained his senses after hearing Jill's words, and struggled violently, fearing that he would be killed in the next moment.

However, how could his strength compare to that of a warrior who had undergone the fusion of the Progenitor Virus?

"Jill, don't get excited yet. Take a good look at the clothes he's wearing. He's not a survivor."

Taking a deep breath, Jill patiently looked at Nikolai's headless corpse.

She hadn't seen clearly in the car, but after Joa's reminder, Jill realized that these two people were indeed not citizens.

But even if they weren't citizens...

Jill was about to ask.

Joa explained in advance.

"Nikolai, a mercenary belonging to Umbrella Corporation's UBCS."

"In many extremely dangerous missions, he maintained a very high mission completion rate and survival rate by betraying his teammates."

"His purpose in coming to Raccoon City this time, on the surface, is to rescue citizens."

"In reality, as an inspector, he uses unscrupulous means to obtain combat data of various troops and BOWs, which are organic biological weapons."

"At the same time, he is also responsible for destroying all virus research data related to the Umbrella Corporation, and for killing those who know the truth."

As if to confirm Joa's words.

Nikolai's special communicator suddenly rang.

"Silver Wolf, that unit was not sent by the company. Nemesis has been eliminated by them."

"The company will deploy ten more Tyrant and two Nemesis."

"You figure out a way to cooperate with them to eliminate that unit and the surviving members of the STARS team."
