Umbrella Corporation

Chapter 44: William's Day

As Raccoon City changes with each passing day, the originally peaceful and quiet city gradually becomes restless.

A large number of migrant workers have poured into Raccoon City because there is an umbrella company here. The umbrella company promises to provide stable jobs and basic housing to all migrant workers who have passed the identity review and have no bad habits.

Most of these migrant workers are just ordinary people who have a good yearning for life, but there are also some people with ulterior motives.

The most outrageous thing is that on the sixth day of the gun recovery, the Raccoon City Police Department uncovered a major gun smuggling case.

The smugglers sold the guns to the residents of Raccoon City for twice the price, and then the residents took the guns to the hand-in point and earned a price difference of 3.

When Duncan knew these things, he felt stupid, and then told the police station that this behavior must be severely punished.

Those who made the difference were deprived of education, medical care, and free water and electricity benefits. The gun dealers asked the umbrella lawyers to fight for a longer sentence.

After several consecutive blows with the stick, the cautious people became more at ease.

Checkpoints have also become more careful in reviewing people's identities, but no matter how careful they are, they can't stop many people who are interested, let alone spies who have entered the umbrella a long time ago.

In a corner of the cafeteria of the Umbrella Building, a man with meticulous hair and a mustache on his upper lip lowered his head to eat silently. His eyes hidden behind black-rimmed glasses occasionally glanced at the staff eating in other seats, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"William, can I sit here?" Suddenly a young woman with blond hair sat in front of him holding a dinner plate.

William looked up and saw a smiling face that was not stunning but very attractive. He stopped chewing food in his mouth, nodded and said vaguely: "Of course, there is no one here."

After hearing this, the woman put down her dinner plate and sat across from William generously. Seeing that his eyes seemed to be a little dodgey, or maybe he was looking at the people around him eating, she also looked around and sighed: "It's pretty good now." It’s good, isn’t it? I can get a job at Umbrella. Although it’s busier than before, I won’t be bored.”

"...Well, it's pretty good." William lowered his head and continued to eat mashed potatoes, with a lukewarm attitude, because his personality was that of a good old man who was unsociable and taciturn.

The woman did not lose her patience because of William's attitude. She supported her chin with one hand and poked the salad on the plate with a fork with the other hand, staring unblinkingly at William who was lowering his head to eat.

That scorching gaze made even the highly professional William feel numb. When he picked up the water glass to drink, he glanced at the other side, but he happened to meet the smiling eyes.

"Cough...cough! Sorry..."

Somewhat embarrassed, he wiped the water stains on his face with a napkin. After all, William couldn't resist the look and asked stiffly: "Is there anything Janice needs my help with?"

I kept praying in my heart: Never be a trouble, never be a trouble!

Janice smiled and said: "Would you like to attend the opening of the new century in the downtown square in the evening? I heard that there will be the world's first holographic image GG brand there, and there will also be many technological exhibits to see. You should like it, right?" "

The opening event of the new century is the Umbrella Company's response to the outside world. It is also a public exhibition and a grand event to provide information to the public. ♙♕ ♦ ♦

In the downtown commercial square, Umbrella Company will present the company's future core products to open everyone's eyes. Among the exhibits that have been confirmed is the giant holographic image GG brand that projects up to fifteen meters high.

In the future, the giant holographic image GG sign will also become a landmark of the city. Similar to the GG sign in New York Times Square, it will become a check-in point for future tourists.

William's heart moved. He wanted to go see the opening event of the new era, but he had a reason why he couldn't go.

After several struggles, William avoided Janice's expectant eyes and said stiffly: "Sorry, I have something to do tonight and can't go..."

After saying the words of rejection, even without looking at Janice's expression, he could feel the deep loss, and his heart could not help but beat painfully.

"That's such a pity..." Janice expressed her understanding, but it made William feel even more uncomfortable.

After hurriedly finishing his lunch, William fled the canteen.

Due to the evening exhibition, the umbrella company can leave work early today, giving employees enough time.

When William returned home, he lay on the bed for a while, and it was not until almost dusk that his mood slowly calmed down.

He got up from the bed with bloodshot eyes. The past few years of working at the Umbrella Company had almost worn away his excellent professional qualities.

Obviously he wouldn't be so sentimental in the past, and he would take action whenever he had the chance.

They had already planned to wash their hands and go back to their hometown after finishing the last order, but when they really wanted to take action, they encountered a big crisis in their lives.

William was in the bathroom, silently looking at the man in the mirror.

To be honest, he is not young anymore. He is 32 years old, and there are already many rough marks on his face. Even if he has taken care of himself, his skin has gradually become dull. This has strengthened his determination to wash his hands after finishing this order. .

"After tonight, take the money and go back to Ruidian! I believe you can do it!"

After completing his self-encouragement, William entered the room, put on new clothes, took his computer and information storage, and quietly waited for the opening event in the evening.

The warm-up activities before the opening ceremony started as scheduled, and residents across the city were deeply attracted by it.

William opened his eyes and took the guy eating in the windbreaker to the closed Umbrella Company building.

He deliberately took a small path to avoid all surveillance.

The Umbrella Building is located in the center of Raccoon City. William tried his best to avoid the crowd, but he still had to pass by the central square.

He was very interested in technology and electronic products. He looked at the square with curiosity. The neon lights made the crowd below colorful.

Everyone seemed to have a smile, and he saw vitality from these pictures.

The opening ceremony had not started yet, and he could not see those high-tech products.

It was not until he crossed the square from the edge that he came back to his senses from the seemingly ordinary scene, and then sneaked into the Umbrella Building with a depressed mood.

Using his identity and the excuse of forgetting to take something, he mixed into the building and naturally took the elevator to the floor where he worked.

Purchasing Department.

William worked in the Purchasing Department. With five years of work experience, he was not suspected even if he was discovered by the person on duty during his return to the company.

At this moment when everyone in the city was paying attention to the opening ceremony of the New Century, his actions became particularly smooth.

William opened the door to the purchasing department's office area, sat down at his workstation by the window, and took out the microcomputer hidden under his windbreaker.

He connected it to the host computer with a wire, then turned on the power supply, and transferred the purchasing information that had been prepared during the day into the data storage device through the microcomputer.
