"How's the battle going?"In the temporary command base at the rear, Wesker—wearing his signature sunglasses—was questioning his subordinates.
This operation had almost emptied the Umbrella Corporation's entire mobile force. He couldn't trust anyone else with it, so he had no choice but to come personally.
"The special ops squad has entered the enemy camp, but their resistance is strange. Aside from a few symbolic attacks at the start, they completely stopped fighting back afterward. I think it's a trap."The woman in a red cheongsam—its slit running all the way up to her waist—spoke as she watched the display screens.
She was Ada Wong, Wesker's strongest operative, and the No.1 heroine in the Resident Evil game franchise—a goddess to countless players.
But in the movie version, the director kept cutting her scenes to highlight the main heroine Alice. They even changed her character settings.Originally, Ada Wong was a powerful, mysterious operative merely cooperating with Umbrella. In the movies, she became Wesker's subordinate and, if memory serves, even got instantly killed at the beginning of the final film.
Well… let's not get into that.
"Of course it's a trap. They crushed the America branch base that quickly—how could they be defeated so easily?"On Wesker's desk sat a chessboard. He spoke while playing against himself, perfectly embodying the scheming big villain who controls everything from the shadows.
"The special ops squad sent a report. The camp is completely empty. Those earlier counterattacks were likely a one-time remote-activation system," Ada summarized as she compiled all intel.
"Just as I expected."Wesker moved his white rook forward, capturing a black knight.
"Next should be the explosion of the camp. Our enemy must have planted extremely powerful explosives there. What do you think it'll be?"Controlling the black pieces, he advanced a pawn and captured Wesker's rook. Wesker smiled as he asked the question.
Even when hunting a mere rabbit, a lion fights with full strength. This time, he wanted a grand, overwhelming victory that crushed the enemy completely.
"Could it be nuclear weapons?" Ada thought for a moment and replied.
"Strategic nuclear warheads. Based on our analysis of several destroyed bases, the enemy likely has quite a number of them," Wesker said calmly.
Over the past month, he had analyzed every detail of their losses and already found the answers.
He had to admit—the enemy's shameless tactics left him with no room to resist.
No matter how solid an underground base was, it didn't matter. If the enemy dropped a nuclear bomb inside, defense became meaningless—pure, unavoidable damage.
Fortunately, the enemy seemed to have very few personnel. As long as he killed them, the problem would be solved.
"Should we notify the nearby troops to retreat?" Ada asked, startled.
"No need. Without enough bait, how will the fish bite?"Wesker didn't care about his subordinates' casualties at all. To him, they were merely numbers.
As long as he could erase this unpredictable threat, even losing half his forces wouldn't make him hesitate.
"Sir! The enemy has detonated the nuclear bomb!"The massive monitor was instantly swallowed by a sky-blue flash. Anything within the blast radius—whether elite operatives or state-of-the-art armored vehicles—was instantly absorbed and reduced to dust.
This was the power of the Peace Bomb: it ignored all defenses. Under 'peace,' all living things were equal.
"Very good. Red Queen, have you decoded the frequency they used to trigger the detonation?"Wesker leisurely moved a white piece and checkmated the black king.
"I'm analyzing it. The frequency is very strange—there's no precedent for anything like it."The Red Queen tried desperately to capture the stray electronic signals in the air and analyze the enemy's location.
This was Wesker's true goal.To trigger a nuclear detonation required complex procedures. The reason he sent so many people was to force the enemy to detonate a bomb—so that the Red Queen could use that signal to locate them.
"Analysis failed. The enemy's detonation method exceeds computational limits."More than ten minutes later, the Red Queen finally gave her conclusion.
"Impossible!"Wesker, who hadn't flinched even when the nuclear bomb exploded, shouted in shock. The chessboard toppled over, and he didn't even notice.
A big boss should never let emotions show, but unfortunately, everything was spiraling beyond his expectations.
If he couldn't find the enemy's location… weren't all those men who died just now wasted?
"Sir! We found a hidden wired camera on the surface. The enemy might be hiding nearby!"Before Wesker could explode, Ada quickly delivered good news.
Because he knew the Red Queen's capabilities, Li Qingyuan used only wired equipment—whether for surface cameras or internal facility systems. The underground base's computers weren't connected to any network at all. No matter how powerful the Red Queen was, she couldn't hack a computer that was physically disconnected.
But this came with a downside:If the enemy discovered the cable, they could follow it straight back to their hideout.
"What do we do? They found our camera! Should we just fight them head-on?"In the underground base, Jill and Claire looked anxious.
To be honest, neither of them had any confidence.
This wasn't some small skirmish—they were facing hundreds or even thousands of armored vehicles and attack helicopters. Even if the two of them were cheating, they couldn't take on that many.
…Well, unless they could recharge and upgrade their cheat to "Anti-Japanese War God Tier." THEN maybe they could win.
"It's fine. Time to show you two my treasure."Li Qingyuan hugged the two women, smiling happily.
"Can you stop fooling around? Do you know what time it is right now?" Jill glared at him in frustration. She shifted her waist slightly and ground down on a certain someone with extra emphasis.
"Such a pity… If I'd known I'd die today, I should've talked to you last night." Claire felt a little regretful. She had been acting reserved these past days, and for what?
Great. Now she was going to die without even enjoying anything. What a waste.
Slap! Slap!
Li Qingyuan smacked both defeated women lightly and gestured for them to stand up.
"Watch closely—my treasure!"Li Qingyuan took out a scepter from the corner. He had wanted to test this thing for a long time but never had the chance.
New York was close to the ocean, but the New York Sanctum was nearby. Who knew if going full power with this thing would alert the sorcerers? So he kept it buried at the bottom of a crate.
But now?Now was the perfect chance to test it.
The description said it was just a toy, but considering that most of Doraemon's gadgets were "toy versions," he didn't mind anymore.
Besides, look at Nezha—those legendary treasures like the Red Armillary Sash and Wind Fire Wheels were also toys gifted by Taiyi Zhenren at his birth.
