Kapitel 44: Setting up a New Branch
Although the zombies' strength and speed far exceed those of the sluggish zombies depicted in movies, the crisis on Kyushu Island has not spread to the entire Japan due to the suppression of modern firepower.
And with global support, the zombies on Kyushu Island will eventually be eradicated.
Moreover, with the addition of various superheroes, the fight against the zombies is overwhelmingly one-sided.
However, while the world's attention was focused on Kyushu Island, on the third day, Luna led the Umbrella team to Boli City in Russia.
Boli City is the largest city in the Far East of Russia, with industries including aircraft manufacturing, fuel, wood processing, construction, and building materials.
After touring Boli City with the team, Luna chose a mountainous area more than 30 kilometers to the east.
The accompanying Russian officials were puzzled by this choice.
"Miss Luna, why would you choose such a remote location? It's not convenient for transporting building materials or recruiting workers."
Luna smiled slightly~
"This is due to the special nature of our industry. As a company in the medical and cosmetics industries, we have high requirements for drainage, and being close to the sea facilitates wastewater disposal."
"Also, the medical industry inevitably involves trade secrets, so being a bit further away helps prevent espionage."
This was merely an excuse.
In reality, Adam had requested that the location be remote and close to the sea. This way, experiments that were inconvenient to conduct in the United States could be done in Russia.
For example, cloning experiments.
The Red Queen has always had data on cloning technology, but the cost of cloning a person is less economical than hiring someone. Moreover, the concept of cloning has never been socially accepted.
To avoid criticism, Adam never conducted cloning experiments in the United States.
But in the sparsely populated Russia, it's different. Since Russia is a sworn enemy of the United States, even if discovered, there would be room to maneuver.
The Russian officials were suspicious of Luna's explanation, but as long as the other party was willing to invest in Russia, they didn't care too much.
After all, Russia's economy has never been great. It's not every day an international giant comes to invest, so they were naturally lenient.
Next, Luna finalized the location and began signing the contracts.
Meanwhile, over Kyushu Island in Japan, a giant aircraft carrier was flying. This aircraft carrier, which appeared similar to a sea-based carrier but with four engines on either side for flight, was the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier.
At this moment, Director Nick Fury was in the command center, his cold eyes fixed on the screen before him, which displayed everything happening on Kyushu Island.
Since the second day of the zombie outbreak, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the U.S. military had arrived in Japan to control the situation.
As for why it was the U.S. military and not a U.N. force, it was because Japan, being the backyard of the United States, naturally didn't allow other countries to interfere.
"What's the current situation?"
Deputy Director Maria Hill immediately began to report:
"Director Fury, the zombies in Saga and Nagasaki Cities have been mostly cleared. The remaining five Cities still have large numbers of zombies and are still being cleaned up."
Nick Fury nodded, "Have you identified the origin of the zombie virus?"
"According to the testimony of a survivor, it started with a drug sold by a gang called the Dark Hound Gang."
"The Dark Hound Gang? Where are they from?"
"We're still investigating, but the Dark Hound Gang is a black-hand of the Yashida Corporation. We suspect it's related to the Yashida Corporation."
"Go get me the head of the Yashida Corporation!"
"Uh…"
"What? Is there a problem?"
"The Japanese government has been protecting Shingen Yashida, so they won't let us apprehend him."
"Japanese Government?!"
S.H.I.E.L.D. may be one of the top forces on the planet, but even the most powerful organizations are powerless when faced with the might of a nation—especially one that ranks in the top three economies in the world.
"Have you notified the U.S. military?"
"We have, but the U.S. military has always been dismissive of us and ignored our request."
Hearing this, Nick Fury's expression darkened.
After a moment, a subordinate suddenly reported, "Director Fury, Mr. Stark has returned."
Nick Fury nodded, then looked at Agent Coulson.
Coulson immediately understood and quickly left the command center, heading for the deck.
On the deck, some fighter jets were taking off and landing. At this moment, a red and white figure descended.
"Mr. Stark, welcome back."
Tony Stark looked at Coulson and gave a slight nod, "I need to rest and eat something."
Ever since S.H.I.E.L.D. failed to appear in time, Tony's impression of them had been quite poor. If it weren't for the assassination attempt by ninjas two days ago, he wouldn't have come here to rest.
After all, without his suit, he's as vulnerable as any ordinary person, with little ability to protect himself.
"This way, please."
Coulson, displaying great enthusiasm, led Tony into the carrier.
As Tony was eating lunch, he noticed a red-haired woman pushing a bald man in a wheelchair toward him.
It was Charles and Jean.
"Mr. Stark."
Seeing the two, Tony put down his bread and followed them.
Coulson was about to follow when Jean turned and gave him a cold look, stopping him in his tracks, and he didn't dare to follow further.
A while later, Tony, Charles, and Jean arrived at a secluded corner.
Tony was the first to ask, "What did you find out?"
"After repeatedly reading the ninja's memory, I discovered that although he appeared to be sent by the Hand, there is actually a connection to the Yashida Corporation."
As professional intelligence and assassination personnel, ninjas naturally have training to prevent leaks. But they were no match for Charles, who could read memories.
Although it took some effort, he eventually found the information he wanted.
"The Yashida Corporation again!"
"And I also found out that this zombie virus seems to be closely related to the Yashida Corporation. It seems they developed a new type of drug that, for some unknown reason, mutated and resulted in the zombies."
"Yes, we've also received information linking it to the Yashida Corporation."
At this moment, Nick Fury, accompanied by Coulson and Black Widow, walked over.
Hearing this, Tony and the other two looked at them.
Nick Fury continued, "We've applied to the Japanese government to arrest the head of the Yashida Corporation, Shingen Yashida, but they refused."
"I'll talk to the military."
With that, Tony began to call his friend, James.
But a moment later, he had no choice but to hang up the phone with a gloomy expression.
James, after all, was just a lieutenant colonel in the weapons development department and had no authority to command the Japanese government.
It would atleast take a general to accomplish that.
