"Sir, we've received a communication, and they specifically asked to speak with you." While Coulson was still rambling on with Zhou Yi about a bunch of useless stock market talk, a guy in a black suit suddenly ran in and reported to Coulson.
"Is it important?" Coulson raised an eyebrow; he didn't think anything could stop their operation at this point.
"The person said it was very serious!" The man in black shrugged, seemingly not taking the message very seriously.
"Put it through to me!" Coulson thought for a moment and still had his subordinate connect the communication. His usual caution wouldn't allow for the slightest mistake. Even if that mistake was only a possibility.
Soon, the strange communication was connected. After Coulson responded with a few words, he revealed a strange expression and said to Zhou Yi.
"It's for you, and it's not good news."
"Medusa, connect it to me." With a soft command, the AI Medusa had already hacked into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s communication network. This action made Coulson roll his eyes, but he could do nothing about it.
Very quickly, Zhou Yi connected with the individual who claimed to be looking for him.
"You're looking for me?"
"Of course, Mr. Zhou. I went to a lot of trouble to find you."
"It's you, Raymond? What do you want?" Zhou Yi asked curiously, recognizing the voice. He didn't think they had anything to talk about.
"I want to talk business with you, a very important business deal." Raymond emphasized desperately, clearly backed into a corner.
"Go on?"
The more casual Zhou Yi was, the more uneasy and nervous Raymond became. He cleared his throat and said,
"I want to trade for a chance to live. My men and I want to leave Umbrella, and the price is Umbrella's secret bases around the world. They are extremely hidden and you won't find them without guidance."
"Give us a helicopter, ensure our safe departure, and promise we won't be harassed by you. I'll tell you about these places."
Zhou Yi grinned.
"You shouldn't be asking me about this. I can't control those guys outside."
"I know, I know." Raymond was breathing heavily in a way that wasn't normal. "This is a condition for the deal with the people outside. I'm looking for you for something else."
"That woman, Jill Valentine, is with me. I want to use her to make a bigger deal with you."
The smile on Zhou Yi's face disappeared, and he narrowed his eyes, asking,
"How did that idiot woman end up with you? Didn't I let her escape?"
He hadn't expected Raymond to capture Jill, because it was so out of the ordinary. Raccoon City was in chaos, with zombies, shelters, and a whole bunch of survivors preparing to escape the city. These were all a headache for him, and he had no reason to pay attention to a seemingly insignificant person.
Compared to these things that could potentially trigger Umbrella, Jill wasn't even worth utilizing. That's why Zhou Yi had let Jill leave alone, as ordinary zombies couldn't threaten her, and Umbrella wouldn't care about her. She could safely wait for the city to be retaken.
But there was a huge deviation from what was expected. She had fallen into the enemy's hands and become a bargaining chip.
"Unfortunately, I have something else chasing her. And she doesn't have your abilities." Raymond chuckled darkly, the chance to calculate against Zhou Yi giving him a great sense of accomplishment.
"Tell me, what do you want? Money? That's not a problem." Zhou Yi frowned, gesturing to Coulson. Coulson nodded knowingly after seeing the gesture.
He pulled his subordinates aside and quietly issued an order.
"Money is useful, but sometimes it's also useless. So I don't want that!"
"Then what do you want?"
"I know you've already developed a Super Soldier Program product. I'm not greedy. I just need you to copy a set of data for me."
Raymond seemed pleased with himself, while Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.
"I don't know what the Super Soldier Program is, you must have the wrong person!"
"Don't try to deceive me, I saw it clearly. That kind of power that can eliminate Hunters and Tyrants in an instant, only the products of the Super Soldier Program can do this. You must have completed the Super Soldier Program, and you are the product of this program?"
Raymond's voice became a little hysterical; it seemed he cared deeply about this so-called Super Soldier Program, so much so that he could barely control his inner emotions.
"Are you so sure, Mr. Edward? What you saw might not be what you think," Zhou Yi didn't care whether this guy was mentally stable or not. He spoke sharply, continuing to irritate his nerves. "You know, there are many people in this world who think they know everything; they never believe in reality, but constantly indulge in their own fantasies. Maybe, you are one of them. Mr. Edward!"
"Damn it! Are you toying with me, Zhou Yi?" Gunshots rang out on the other side, followed by Raymond's grin. "That woman won't last much longer, you should think carefully. Sir, living people are always more important than things. I don't have much time to waste here. Also, there's a big surprise waiting for you guys!"
At this moment, the subordinate Coulson had sent out had run back. He was holding a piece of data. Coulson took the data and quietly placed it in front of Zhou Yi. Zhou Yi glanced at it, revealing a cold smile.
"A big surprise? I like big surprises. But before that, I have a surprise for you!" Having said this, he had already disappeared from the tent. No one noticed when he left, and no one saw where he went.
"Does he always walk like that?" Ada Wong asked in surprise. A person who came and went without a trace really made people uneasy.
"It only happens in special circumstances. He usually walks on his legs like a normal person." Coulson chuckled awkwardly, defending his friend Zhou Yi to the stunned agent. "You didn't see anything. Even if you did, you won't remember it, understand?"
"Yes, sir!" The agent replied quickly. As an agent, he knew there were some things he shouldn't know.
"Get out of here and don't spread things you shouldn't say. You should know the importance of security regulations!" With Coulson's warning, the agent left the tent. At this moment, Natasha smiled at Coulson.
"You're still the same old softie, Phil. But I don't think you did the right thing! Security regulations require..."
"Security regulations require a lot, and not everyone under you needs to know everything. Sometimes it's not a big problem to ignore some things." Cutting her off, Coulson said with a smile. "For example, the issue of raising this child."
"Alright, you win. But you have to help me with this."
"No problem, leave it to me." The old softie style of taking everything on himself, and this has always been Coulson's style.
And just as Coulson was taking everything on himself, Raymond was screaming in terror. In front of him, the Tyrant he was so proud of was turning into ashes in front of him like a giant torch, and behind the dazzling light. A man's figure was walking out step by step.
He walked as if he were strolling, holding a ball of fire in his hand. The raging flames surrounded him, making him look more terrifying than any monster. Especially when all the bullets fired at him melted into liquid mid-air, Raymond screamed in terror.
Because he had clearly seen the face within the flames. It was Zhou Yi, the man he had been threatening.
"Big surprise, isn't it?" Zhou Yi's smile was malicious as he looked at the utterly defeated Raymond.
"What are you, a person or a ghost? Impossible, impossible. How could you be here?" Raymond crawled backward on his hands and feet. When Zhou Yi appeared before him, he already had a very terrifying premonition. He might die here, and that was what he feared most.
"Guess?" Zhou Yi chuckled as he walked forward, flames surging around him, transforming into countless hideous shapes. There were ferocious beasts and wailing spirits. The hollow sound of the flames burning at this moment even produced an effect like a hellish echo, stealing their minds and injecting the deepest fear into their hearts.
The sin-ridden men couldn't hold onto their hearts at this moment. The terrifying illusions had turned into vengeful spirits in their eyes, seeking to avenge themselves and use the most terrible punishments to repay the sins they had committed.
In this situation, some of them had already collapsed.
They abandoned their leader, leaving Raymond to roll around on the ground like a dead fish. They began to flee desperately.
But they didn't get far before a burst of flames erupted within them. In an instant, these fleeing figures were transformed into giant torches, illuminating the alleyway as bright as day.
Amidst the fiery glow, Raymond began to tremble.
"Stay away from me, you monster, you demon!"
"Demon, are you talking about me?" Zhou Yi laughed exaggeratedly. "If I'm the demon, what are you then? You should know, all this hellish scenery comes from you, you bastard!"
Saying this, he lifted the creature that looked like a slug.
"My surprise is ready, what about yours? Mr. Edward, if you can't satisfy me, I might do something you wouldn't expect! For example, throw you out there with that group that's never full."
"No, no! Please, don't do that!" Raymond was a mess of tears and snot, and at this moment, he no longer held even a hint of his ambitious demeanor.
"How unsightly, Mr. Edward. You should know, this depends on your answer, have you thought about it? Your surprise for me!"
