Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Huh?!

Seeing Li Lie utter the word 'Dracula', Quill, a professor much older than Flynn, couldn't help staring at Li Lie with glowing eyes.

He grabbed Li Lie's arms, shook them violently and asked, Young man, I didn't expect you, as a mercenary, to know this?!

Eh... Li Lie didn't expect Quill to become so excited, he pushed away Quill's hands holding his arms, and explained:

When I was young, I liked vampire games and movies. I found out that the prototype of Dracula was the most brutal Grand Duke in Romanian history, Vlad III.

Hum... I thought you, a mercenary, were good at academic research.

Quill muttered a little disappointed, but the old professor patted Li Lie's right arm again and said:

But you are much better than the big soldier in there (looking at the mercenary tent). At least you are very quiet. Do you want to consider protecting our archaeological team in the future? I can also teach you some ancient characters and languages.

No. Li Lie shook his head slightly and refused, then raised his head to look around the castle, and asked Quill:

Professor, if this is really the tomb of Vlad III, is it possible that there really are vampires here?

Hehe, it's impossible. Quill denied without thinking:

You also know that Vlad III is the prototype of Dracula, and Dracula is a character in the novel written by Bram Stoker, how could the creature in the novel appear in reality?

But the funders who invested in us seem to hope that the people buried under this tomb are vampires, otherwise they wouldn't hire your elite mercenary squad.

To be honest, this is the first time I have enjoyed the protection of mercenaries since I have been in the archaeological industry for so many years.

I think back to the days when I went to Iraq for archaeology, the days of fear, hey...

Professor. Seeing that Quill was about to fall into self-reminiscence, Li Lie hurriedly interrupted:

Why do those benefactors want real vampires buried in this tomb?

Ah? This... Quill, who was pulled back to reality by Li Lie, looked up at Yu Hui outside the castle and explained:

It's very simple, nothing can avoid the laws of nature, for example, the day always has an end, just like the current sunset.

As for people... there will always be a moment of death, but the sponsors who hired our archaeological team want to defy this natural law.

After all, vampires have a well-known consensus, that is, they can live forever, and they have no shortcomings except that they need to suck blood to live, and they are afraid of the sun or crosses.

Also, as the ancestor Dracula, his abilities are much stronger than all vampires, and he may not even be afraid of the sun.

So these funders want to find Dracula, and use his blood to analyze the secret of immortality.

After hearing Quill's explanation, Li Lie also nodded and said: Well, if it is for longevity and eternal youth, then it is indeed reasonable to invest so much money in archaeology.

But, I don't think vampires really exist in the world.

As Quill said, he also looked at the students who were busy around them with extremely excited faces, and sighed to Li Lie:

The patrons are actually willing to provide a huge amount of money, so that we can make money while doing archaeology, why not do it?

You say yes, young man, haha~.

After finishing speaking, Quill smiled loudly, and stopped talking with Li Lie, but discussed with the students to prepare for tomorrow's excavation work.

.

Li Lie still showed his father Li Mu's expressionless face, and looked at the mercenary 'teammates' who were on guard all around.

Then Li Lie returned to the tent, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his personal belongings, and said softly to Flynn who was looking at the military notebook:

Boss, I'm going out for a cigarette.

Ah, let's go. Flynn, who was staring at the computer screen, waved his hand indifferently.

Having received approval, Li Lie nodded at Flynn.

Get out of the tent, leave the camp, and go through the dilapidated gate to the outside of the castle.

Li Lie walked slowly into the woods outside the castle, leaning on a tree trunk, took out a cigarette, lit it and held it in his mouth.

But Li Lie didn't know how to smoke, and he didn't want to learn, he just found an excuse to get out of the camp.

And he was in a position where he would not be observed by the mercenaries on the walls of the castle.

Immediately, Li Lie took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, clicked on an encrypted software, and reported quietly:

This is Umbrella's trainee agent, number Um-PA-00001, and my location is the real tomb of Vlad III.

Legendary vampires might show up, hope the company takes heed.

This is Tina, the artificial intelligence of the containment fleet. Soon, Tina's voice came from the phone:

I have received your notification, don't turn off your phone from now on, I will always pay attention to you and the developments in your area.

Once the appearance of the abnormal creature 'vampire' is confirmed, I will send a team of UBCS to airborne to support you immediately.

Tina?

Li Lie obviously didn't expect that one of the best artificial intelligences in the company would actually answer the report of one of his trainee agents.

But after thinking about it, it must be his father who was worried that something would happen to him, which made Tina, who had been in the low-earth orbit of the earth, pay attention to his actions the whole time.

A slight smile appeared on Li Lie's indifferent face, Yes, I understand.

Immediately afterwards.

After Li Lie and Tina finished their report, they put away their mobile phones, squeezed out their barely smoked cigarettes, and poked them into the soil under their feet before turning around and returning to the camp of the ancient castle.

Next, Li Lie was still lying on the bed in the tent, being teased by the old members of the mercenary group.

After all, as a new 'rookie' who joined the mercenary group, he would naturally be 'bullied' by the old members.

However, the atmosphere of this small mercenary group is very good, and the jokes made by the old members are usually to the point, mainly to allow Li Lie, a newcomer, to better integrate into the team.

late at night.

Professor Quayle and the students who returned from the test couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep one after another, so as to prepare for tomorrow with enough energy.

The mercenary group led by Flynn also began to guard the night in groups of three to ensure that the entire camp would not be attacked by wild animals.

When it was Li Lie's turn to be on duty, it was already two o'clock in the morning in Romania. Even though there were lighting equipment in the camp, Li Lie still felt that the atmosphere of the entire castle was extremely gloomy.

Therefore, Li Lie also increased his vigilance by 12 points to ensure that the so-called 'vampire' abnormal creatures would not suddenly launch a sneak attack on them.

Two hours later, the surprise attack that Li Lie expected did not happen, and he had to alternate his duty position and return to the tent to rest.
