They had just killed one of the enemies when he threw a lit match on the ground.
The 44th floor had been doused with gasoline, but a tiny spark from a match ignited a fire on the east side of the 44th floor, which was otherwise perfectly normal.
The fire spread rapidly, almost completely engulfing half of the eastern office area.
It looks like the mission is doomed. They're going to destroy all the data. They're lucky they even made it back alive...
But how can they get back? The floors below have been completely engulfed in flames, and it might not just be the 43rd floor...
They could only run upwards, but it was clear that the enemy numbered far more than just 120.
But why were only two helicopters sent to pick them up and evacuate?
Therefore, it's clearly impossible to seize an enemy helicopter; you might even get on board only to have it destroyed by the remaining two helicopters...
Team 404 entered the fire escape stairwell and began running up to the 45th floor, which was a temporarily safe environment.
But when they tried to go directly to the 46th floor, a small obstacle appeared...
Inside the stairwell, 45 rushed up to the 46th floor in three quick steps, intending to continue evacuating upwards.
However, a dark green oval-shaped ball rolled down from the stairwell above the 46th floor and landed right in front of the 45th floor.
She immediately realized what was happening!
"Damn it, a grenade! Back off!"
Those at the back of the group immediately took cover inside the 45th floor, while M870 and SAT8 immediately erected shields to block in front of the 45th floor.
"boom!"
The grenade exploded, but the scattered shrapnel was blocked by the two women's shields, and apart from the impact, it did not have any effect on them.
"Thump...thump......."
But then another one rolled down the stairwell...
"Go back, quickly!"
SAT8 gave his teammates a push, and everyone returned to the 45th floor.
But when they entered the 45th floor, they discovered that the others had already engaged the enemy on the 45th floor and were fighting.
"Damn it, weren't they supposed to have left? Why are there still so many people on the 45th floor?!"
416 shouted as he fired his gun.
But 45's expression was unexpectedly cold.
The floors below the 44th floor are on fire, with only two helicopters available; a large number of enemies remain on the 45th floor...
She seemed to know why...
P.S.: Music will continue in the next chapter...
148 Turning the tide of battle
P.S.: The music continues...
Just as 45 was pondering, the helicopter appeared once again outside the floor-to-ceiling window on the 45th floor.
However, this time the girls were near the fire escape stairs, while the UBCS members were standing inside the office area. Compared to them, the enemies were much closer to the helicopter...
The huge searchlight shone in, causing everyone on the 45th floor to squint.
"Tsk, what are they planning to do?!"
40 is somewhat unable to understand the current situation.
But 45 immediately pulled 40, who was still observing, down and hid behind the wall of the desk.
Adeline did the same; she pressed the M870 beside her against the wall and said in her delicate voice...
"Be careful to stay hidden..."
The next second...
Gunfire, like a chainsaw, rang out again, but this time it was an indiscriminate attack!
Several UBCS members who were close to the helicopter were blown to pieces by the M134, but due to mobility issues, they were unable to sweep the entire 45th floor East Zone immediately.
The girls also heard the enemy's angry curses...
"Damn it, we're still here, how come the helicopter opened fire?!"
"This is different from the orders we received. Weren't we supposed to prepare for ignition on the 45th floor?!"
"We've been fucking abandoned!"
......
Sure enough...
Just as 45 had suspected, Umbrella had sent more than 120 UBCS members this time. However, some of them received different orders; they were ordered to stand by, and subsequently, some were simply abandoned...
The M134 bullets struck the computer monitors and computer cases in the office area with more intense force than the sparks produced by their individual weapons.
This instantly ignited a large area of gasoline in the East Zone, and within seconds, the 45th floor of the East Zone was almost completely engulfed in flames.
"Keep retreating, run from the west section to the 46th floor!"
45. The order was given quickly, and the girls immediately stood up from behind the wall and continued running along the corridor.
The helicopter followed behind them as before and strafed them relentlessly.
During the escape, 45 contacted Luo Fan.
Meanwhile, at the Ottoran factory, located on the outskirts of Raccoon City...
WA2000 stood on a high point in a factory building, observing the surroundings for Luo Fan and the others.
But she discovered an unexpected situation once again.
It was still an extremely serious accident...
A massive fire broke out on the upper and middle floors of the Raccoon City government building, and a helicopter was flying around the building and appeared to be firing shots.
Even though it was farther away than at the gas station, she could still barely make out the situation at the Raccoon City government building.
She immediately contacted Luo Fan.
"You big idiot, something's happened! The Raccoon City government building is on fire, and a helicopter is strafing inside the building."
Upon hearing WA's words, Luo Fan, who had been enjoying a peaceful moment, was immediately horrified: "Wait, what? There's a fire, and helicopters are strafing us?!"
The girls around Luo Fan were puzzled by his sudden and intense reaction.
"Yes."
......
It seems Squad 404 has been discovered after all...
Moreover, if the building catches fire, it means that the floors below are no longer passable, and Team 404 will be unable to evacuate.
Almost the instant communication with WA ended, Lovan received another contact request from UMP45.
"Sister 45, you've been discovered?!"
Even though he had already guessed what was going on, he still asked a question.
On the other end of the sound, Luo Fan also heard gunshots like chainsaws, the sound of bullets shattering glass and walls, and the crackling of flames.
"Uh, they didn't just get discovered, they started fighting!"
"So what do you need?"
45. Their contact with me was probably not just a simple report of the situation...
"Could you provide some support with your tablet? We are currently unable to evacuate from the floors below."
This did remind me.
"Wait a moment, I'll go check it out now."
Luo Fan sat down on a nearby metal pipe, took out a tablet, and began operating it.
On the stats panel for Squad 404, their condition has declined, but it's only around 87%, still far from being considered seriously injured.
It must be said that Squad 404 is highly professional...
But Luo Fan had no time to worry about that; he opened the building panel and looked for things that the girls could use.
"Flashbangs, MKI, incendiary grenades, smoke grenades, camouflage cloaks, bulletproof plates... none of them were useful."
But he didn't stop searching, still hoping to find some tools that could be used for evacuation.
Finally, hard work pays off...
"I've got it! The flying squirrel suit, that's it!"
Luo Fan exclaimed in surprise.
With this, Squad 404 can retreat directly from the upper floors.
He immediately built seven flying squirrel suits and distributed them, along with 10 quick repair scrolls, to Squad 404.
However, during the allocation process, a pop-up notification appeared on the tablet...
This feature cannot be assigned to lethal tools. Please be extra careful when using it in the future.
"what?!"
Did he receive any lethal weapons?
Which is more lethal, the flying squirrel suit or the quick repair kit?
However, there is also a "Confirm" and "Cancel" option below.
Luo Fan pressed the confirm button with trepidation.
Allocation successful
......
Phew, thank goodness, at least the allocation was successful. It should just be a reminder that I can't allocate things like grenades. Next time, I'll have to make sure the girls bring everything they need. Functional tools can still be allocated remotely...
As soon as the distribution was completed, Luo Fan immediately contacted 45 and shouted, "Sister 45, I have sent you seven flying squirrel suits and ten quick repair contracts. Use these to evacuate."
Inside the Raccoon City government building, Squad 404 suddenly found themselves each wearing a flying squirrel suit and carrying a quick repair kit in their backpacks.
"This is a real lifesaver, Commander, thank you!"
45 shouted with some joy, "The situation has finally taken a turn for the better!"
But that doesn't mean they can evacuate now. The 46th floor is still not ignited, and they still have to try to search for what the mission requires.
The flying squirrel suits and quick repair equipment they wore gave them the means to retreat, and also gave them more opportunities to continue completing their missions.
"Everyone, proceed to floor 46 and break through directly!"
Upon receiving the order, M870 and SAT8, the two shotgun androids, immediately raised their shields and rushed into the fire escape stairwell to begin the breach.
There were enemies defending the stairwell, but before they could react, the M870 and SAT8 fired a shot at his body. He had just spotted two figures with shields when he was riddled with bullets by the two shotguns.
Without the grenades to hinder them, the girls advanced with unstoppable momentum, as if they had stormed up to the 46th floor.
The helicopter was also waiting patiently on the 46th floor for the girls to arrive...
But this time, the girls are going to turn the tide!
"Adeline, can you take care of that helicopter?!"
45 shouted.
Then, everyone heard Adeline's weak voice again...
A signal that made them all very happy...
"Can......"
149 Transfer
"Ha, that's exactly what I was waiting for!"
M870 dashed into the 46th-floor office area, slid behind a desk, and began reloading his weapon.
She had long disliked that helicopter, and now that she had the chance to deal with it, she was naturally overjoyed.
