Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Seeing Shen Ye's certainty, Barrett fell into deep thought. To be honest, if it weren't for his hatred for Shinra, he would never have been so extreme. You know, before his family's accident, he actually supported Shinra.

“Since you’re certain you can blow up the entire Mako Reactor No. 1, then let’s do it your way!” After some thought, Barrett nodded in agreement with Shen Ye’s plan.

Jesse and Claude, standing to the side, naturally wouldn't say anything, especially Claude, who was just a henchman and it didn't matter to him how many people died.

"Let's get out of here quickly. The demolition can be done in an instant." Shen Ye waved the remote control in his hand. With just a light press, the Mako Reactor would instantly turn into ruins.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Barrett shouted, his fighting spirit renewed, and then he was the first to climb the escalator onto the land bridge.

Claude and Jesse followed closely behind, while Shen Ye remained standing on the platform, glancing up at the surveillance camera above the central area of ​​the Mako Reactor. He knew that Shinra Corporation had been monitoring them ever since they entered.

In fact, even without Scarlett's help, Barrett and his group could have easily entered the Mako Reactor, because the Shinra Company had been waiting for them and had set a trap for them.

After all, the time bomb that Jesse made alone was not enough to completely destroy the Mako Reactor, nor could it detonate the Mako Reactor's energy to generate super destructive power.

In the original storyline, it was actually the Shinra president who, seeing that the avalanche had only brought such a small bomb, feared that its power was insufficient. So he instructed Heidegger to use the Mako Reactor's internal defense system to deliberately destroy the Mako Reactor, which led to the deaths of a large number of civilians.

The fundamental reason is that Shinra was afraid that more people would rebel against them, so they deliberately framed Avalanche to consolidate their rule.

“However,” Shen Ye withdrew his gaze, turned around, climbed the escalator, and returned along the same route.

……

"This masked guy seems to know we're monitoring them."

Inside the president's office, Heidegger pressed a button on the controller in his hand, but as he had expected, the defense system inside the Mako Reactor had already lost their control.

The Shinra president remained in the same posture, but his expression had become more somber.

“I’m afraid he not only knows we’re monitoring them, but he also knows our plans,” the Shinra president said in a deep voice.

"That's impossible. Only a few high-ranking officials know about this plan... Wait, Mr. President, could there be a traitor among our high-ranking officials?" Heidegger's expression was solemn, but he was already sweating profusely.

"Is there any doubt about that, Heidegger?" The Shinra president stood up from his office chair, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, and stared intently at the No. 1 Mako Reactor in the distance.

Meanwhile, along several roads near the same Mako Reactor No. 1, large numbers of Shinra soldiers and combat machines are converging on that route.

“We need to conduct an internal purge,” the Shinra president said. He recalled Scarlett’s suggestion from last time, and then said to Heidegger, “Starting tomorrow, send more people to assist Scarlett and Hojo’s research. I want to see their research results as soon as possible.”

“Yes, Mr. President.” Heidegger nodded in response, his feet together.

……

Obviously, escaping is always faster than infiltrating.

In less than ten minutes, Shen Ye and his group left the core area of ​​the Mako Reactor and met up with Bige and Weiji, who were waiting outside.

"Barrett, did it work? I don't think I heard anything." During the retreat, Biggs asked Barrett.

"It's a success, but there's no time to explain now. We need to leave immediately." Barrett glanced at Shen Ye, feeling somewhat uneasy, as he wasn't sure if Shen Ye could really do it.

"What do you mean by 'successful'?" Biggs was a little confused and wanted to ask again, but since his boss said there was no time to explain, he could only swallow his words.

Soon, they escaped from inside the Mako Reactor.

Just then, Shen Ye pressed the remote control he had been holding.

Boom boom boom...

As a series of muffled explosions rang out, the entire No. 1 Mako Reactor began to shake violently. Then, a tooth-grinding metallic tearing sound reached everyone's ears.

"It's a success?" Barrett and the others turned to look at the Mako Reactor and saw it collapsing and crumbling at a visible speed.

The Mako Reactor itself was a huge steel structure. After its internal supports were destroyed, it instantly lost its balance, and its own weight became the biggest factor in destroying the Mako Reactor.

Moreover, since there was no assistance from Shinra Corporation and no direct detonation of the Mako liquid in the core area, no larger explosion occurred; instead, it seemed somewhat "silent."

"Well done, Shen!"

Looking at the collapsing Mako Reactor, Barrett couldn't help but roar. After his long-cherished wish was fulfilled at this moment, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.

"Oh yeah!"

The rest of the squad cheered along with Barrett, but Claude didn't react much, just coldly watching the jubilant Avalanche members.

……

On the street of Disc Eight, Alice stared in astonishment at the collapsed and crumbling Mako Reactor.

"As expected... things have changed." Alice murmured to herself, her arms crossed.

In fact, she knew what Shen Ye was going to do as soon as he left in the evening, so she went to disc number eight right after he left.

Seeing that the Mako Reactor had only collapsed and had not exploded, she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her heart, and murmured, "There is no such thing as destiny; everything can be changed."

Then, she turned and walked towards the station. Now that things were over, she wanted to go home and wait for Shen Ye to return, and then make him a late-night snack as a treat.

Thinking of this, Alice's mood brightened, her steps became lighter, and a smile that hadn't appeared on her face for several days returned.

However, she hadn't gone far when she saw a large number of Shinra soldiers appear on the street.

This scene made her worried again, so she immediately stopped and turned to run towards the Mako Reactor.

But she didn't run far this time either, and stopped again because she saw someone on the street.

曾！

"Alice, if you're thinking of going to watch the show, you'd better give up that idea," Zeng said softly.

"Hmph!" Although Alice didn't take Zeng's words to heart, she knew that with him there, she had no chance of getting there. After a cold snort, she turned away with a resentful expression.

Chapter 173! Restoring Magic Crystals

……

Although the No. 1 Mako Reactor did not explode, but only collapsed, as a behemoth, it still caused quite a commotion, and the resulting tremors and flying debris still affected the surrounding area.

However, compared to the original storyline, the damage caused this time was negligible. Due to the importance of the Mako Reactor, there were no residents around it, and the casualties were almost entirely contributed by Shinra's soldiers.

As the dust from the collapse slowly settled, Barrett silenced his companions' cheers: "If you want to continue celebrating, let's wait until we get back to base. This isn't a safe place."

Their base is Seventh Heaven, and they can have a good drink when they get back!

"Now that the mission is complete, what about my reward, Barrett?" Claude called out to Barrett, demanding the payment he had been longing for on this trip.

"Don't worry, Cloud, you won't be shortchanged by a single penny. And until we get back to base, it's all part of the operation, so I'll have Tifa give you the money after we get back." Barrett was in a great mood and even patted Cloud on the shoulder in a friendly manner, but Cloud coldly brushed it off.

Bartley didn't care about his attitude. He waved his mechanical arm and shouted to Shen Ye and the others, "Now, our next task is to escape with all our might. Everyone split up and head to the station in District 8, then meet up in the freight cars."

"Yes!" Jesse and the others responded loudly.

Next, they split up and headed to the station in the eighth section of the disc.

However, although they were said to be going their separate ways, they actually traveled in pairs.

For example, Barrett and Biggs walked down a side path, while Claude originally planned to go alone. However, Wiggie, who had never gotten a good look from him, came to him again. This honest fat man was still holding a grudge against Claude's previous attitude towards him, which made Claude very depressed.

Beside Shen Ye was Jessie, a beautiful woman with a sunny ponytail.

After leaving the Mako Reactor's area in another direction, Shen Ye and Jesse arrived at a street on Disc No. 8.

The streets were filled with panicked people, their eyes filled with fear as they stared at the collapsed Mako reactor.

Meanwhile, Shinra's sirens blared across the sky above the street.

"Emergency! Emergency! This is the Shinra Corporation Crisis Response Department. Due to an attack on Mako Reactor No. 1, a serious collapse has occurred. Wards 1 and 8 have been designated as alert zones. Residents in the vicinity are advised not to approach to avoid potential injury from a secondary collapse..."

"Fortunately, the damage was less than I expected, so I'm relieved." Hearing the shrill sirens overhead, Jesse initially felt a little guilty, fearing that the operation would cause too many casualties. However, after arriving on the street, he found that apart from a few buildings being damaged by flying debris, no one was injured, which relieved him.

"Shen, your demolition skills are really amazing! Can you teach me?" Jesse asked Shen Ye again. As a manufacturing expert, she made all the bombs used in the team and had some experience in demolition. She couldn't help but be eager to learn.

"It's better for a girl like you not to learn this, especially a pretty girl like you." Shen Ye's explosives skills were partly learned when he was in the army, and partly learned from Balalaika and the others in Roanapura. It was a mixed bag and lacked any systematic approach. When asked to teach Jesse, he didn't know where to begin, so he simply refused.

"Ah! Don't be so stingy!" Hearing Shen Ye praise her for being beautiful, Jessie's eyes narrowed with a smile, but she still said, "I won't learn for nothing, I can pay tuition."

"What tuition fee?" Shen Ye asked as he walked forward.

"Knock knock knock... Of course, it's this one." Jessie proudly held up her hand in front of Shen Ye, and in her palm was a green sphere that emitted a fluorescent glow, and inside the sphere, gas swirled like a nebula.

"Do you recognize this?" Jesse asked with a smile.

"It looks familiar, like a Restoration Magic Crystal." Shen Ye was no stranger to this thing, because in the original story, Jesse gave this Restoration Magic Crystal to Claude.

"You're really knowledgeable, Shen!" Jesse praised, then grabbed Shen Ye's hand and stuffed the recovery magic crystal into it. "How about using this as tuition?"

"It's not very good. I don't have any use for this thing." Shen Ye tossed the magic crystal back.

Jessie frantically caught the magic crystal on the spot. Seeing that Shen Ye had already walked quite a distance, she was stunned for a moment, then quickened her pace to catch up with him, grabbing his arm and saying, "Then what do you want in return for teaching me?"

“I don’t know how to teach…” Shen Ye was about to shake his head and refuse again when he was interrupted by Jesse’s sudden action.

Jesse pressed Shen Ye's arm forcefully against his chest, then looked at him and said, "What if I use this as tuition?"

Shen Ye paused, thinking that the tuition fee was indeed very high, but feeling the hard touch on his arm, he looked down at Jesse's chest and clicked his tongue twice.

Jesse looked down and realized that he was still wearing a hard breastplate. He was a little disappointed and moved Shen Ye's arm away from his chest, but still held onto his arm.

"Not now, looks like we'll have to wait until next time," Jesse muttered, then placed the recovery magic crystal back into Shen Ye's hand.

"Whether you need it or not, here's the Restoration Magic Crystal for you, as a thank you for your help today," Jesse continued. "Thank you for your contribution to saving the planet, great hero."

Seeing that Jesse had already said so, Shen Ye stopped refusing and put away the recovery magic crystal.
