Walking Dead: Unlock the Umbrella Corporation Hive Begins with Hunting Chapter 89 89: 89

Milton Mat stood outside the office, palms sweating.

He didn't understand why he was nervous. He had faced the Governor, seen furious crowds in Woodbury Square, and watched the Tyrant rise from flas with its gray eyes fixed ahead.

Yet standing before this ordinary wooden door made his heart pound uncontrollably.

The door opened.

An Asian man looked up from behind the desk. He was much younger than Milton expected.

His sleeves were rolled to the elbows. Maps and docunts covered the desk, and the ashtray overflowed with cigarette butts.

He looked like an ordinary office worker from before the apocalypse.

"Milton Mat?"

Wu Fan pointed toward a chair.

"Sit."

Milton sat down.

Wu Fan pushed over a docunt. It was Milton's full profile from the Prison—academic background, research papers, virus studies, and his work under the Governor involving walker behavior and infection research.

Everything was listed clearly.

"You want to participate in vaccine research?"

Milton nodded.

"I see hope in it. That vaccine... it can stop the dead from turning into Walkers."

He hesitated briefly.

"I want to contribute sothing to humanity before the end."

Wu Fan stared at him for several seconds before picking up the phone.

"Send Edwin in."

After hanging up, he said simply,

"Follow Edwin. He'll arrange your work."

Milton froze.

That was it? No tests? No interrogation? No probation period?

Before he could ask anything, Wu Fan had already lowered his head to study the map again.

Edwin entered monts later.

"New researcher," Wu Fan said without looking up. "Show him around."

Edwin glanced at Milton and nodded.

"Follow ."

Milton quickly stood and followed him out.

The corridor was silent. Guillermo stood guard near the door and nodded toward him.

Milton returned the gesture.

They rode the elevator down to Basent Level Three before walking through the sa passage connected to the underground train station.

At the hidden elevator inside the fake Hive building, Edwin pressed the button for Basent Level Four.

As the doors closed, Milton caught his reflection in the tal. His glasses sat crookedly, his hair was ssy, and beside Edwin's spotless white lab coat, he looked like a refugee.

He adjusted his glasses nervously.

The elevator opened.

Basent Level Four.

Milton stepped out and stopped instantly.

The corridor was spotless and brightly lit. Not a single shadow remained.

Heavy tal doors lined both sides, each marked with red biohazard symbols. Through reinforced glass windows, Milton saw laboratories filled with microscopes, centrifuges, incubators, and advanced machines he had only read about in scientific journals.

Automated gene analyzers. High-resolution electron microscopes. P4 biosafety cabinets.

Every piece of equipnt looked brand new.

At the far end of the corridor, dozens of researchers in white coats worked nonstop.

So studied samples beneath microscopes. Others recorded data or operated unfamiliar machines.

The air slled of disinfectant mixed with sothing else.

Hope.

Edwin stopped walking.

"Your workstation is there. Review the materials and learn the procedures first. You already have access to the vaccine progress archives. Ask or Candice if you need help."

Milton nodded and walked toward the empty desk.

A computer waited there with the Umbrella Corporation logo glowing on the screen.

He sat down and opened the research files.

The records were incredibly detailed—from the first serum tests to the Elpis-I clinical trials. Every stage had been docunted carefully.

His eyes moved faster and faster across the data.

But his mind stayed focused on one question.

Just how much had Umbrella hidden underground?

...

Wu Fan stood by the window, watching people line up below for vaccination.

The transparent system panel floated before him.

Points balance: 307,440.

rle and Shane had earned massive rewards from the Fort Benning operation. Tens of thousands of walkers had sent his points skyrocketing.

He switched to the Hive expansion page.

Level Six: Classified Research Area / High-Risk Isolation Lab / Mutant Research — 60,000 points.

Level Seven: Clone mory Implantation / Cloning Pods / Sleep Pods — 80,000 points.

Golden lock icons glowed on the screen.

Wu Fan selected Level Six.

[Hive Level Six unlocked. Remaining points: 247,440.]

His finger paused before Level Seven.

Eighty thousand points could buy a platoon of Tyrants. Multiple Ospreys. Entire subway lines.

He still pressed it.

[Hive Level Seven unlocked. Remaining points: 167,440.]

Unlock complete.

Wu Fan inhaled deeply and opened the store interface.

The previously locked SSS-rank section had beco available.

Weapons. Vehicles. Biological weapons.

The list seed endless.

He scrolled downward until reaching the biological weapon section.

Bio-Dragon. Manufacturing ti: five hours. Requires another five hours of feeding to mature into a giant dragon. Lifespan: 32 hours. Cost: 50,000 points.

Wu Fan imagined a massive winged monster rising from a culture tank and blotting out the sky.

He continued reading.

Giant Mutant Shark. Manufacturing ti: five hours. Controlled entirely by Umbrella Corporation. No lifespan limit. Cost: 100,000 points.

Wu Fan paused.

No lifespan limit.

aning it could survive forever unless he destroyed it himself.

Too bad Atlanta wasn't near the ocean.

He kept scrolling.

Giant Licker. Manufacturing ti: five hours. Lifespan: 48 hours. Extrely high defense; bullets ineffective against the head. Cost: 10,000 points.

Wu Fan cursed under his breath.

All land creatures had ti limits.

The ocean monster got permanent life.

What kind of ridiculous balance was this?

He closed the store and stared outside.

The vaccination lines had dispersed. Only a few workers remained chatting in the square below.

The setting sun cast long shadows from the periter walls, bathing the base in orange-red light.

Wu Fan reopened the system panel and selected the feature he had wanted most.

Umbrella Global Orbital Satellite Network.

Unlock Requirent: SSS Authority.

After unlocking, Red Queen's core system can connect to satellites orbiting Earth, enabling global monitoring, bio-signal detection, walker horde analysis, missile guidance, and intercontinental communication.

Cost: 100,000 points.

Wu Fan stared at the number silently.

One hundred thousand points.

Combined with today's other upgrades, he had already spent nearly a quarter-million points.

He closed the panel and crushed the cigarette against the windowsill.

First distribute the vaccine.

First clear Atlanta.

First take Georgia completely under control.

One step at a ti.
