Chapter 11 The Umbrella Corporation has only one security guard!
Because Isaacs had the legitimate reason of "escorting" Alice back to the Hive, his armored vehicle didn't need to drag someone behind it to attract zombies and thus break through the survivor base in Raccoon City, as was done in the original story. Therefore, the entire journey was exceptionally smooth and unimpeded.
There were no zombie dogs blocking the way, no sharp blades in the ventilation ducts, and no deadly traps in the ventilation pipes.
More importantly, as one of their own, Isaacs entered the Hive not through the blown-open ventilation shaft, but through a secret entrance hidden at the foot of a hill near Raccoon City, making the whole process as easy as a picnic.
However, we need to be extremely vigilant about what happens next.
First, in order to gain Alice's trust, Shen Yi had Isaacs, a clone controlled by the Soul Transfer Technique, implant a time bomb in his body, which the clone naturally did not refuse.
Secondly, there's the question of how to meet Wesker and the real Isaac, whose awakening is uncertain. If the real Isaac isn't dealt with, the Red Queen, no matter how unwilling, will be forced to obey Isaac's orders.
In a sense, Isaacs's research and development capabilities in artificial intelligence far surpass those of Iron Man. After all, the artificial intelligence that Tony Stark created either wanted to destroy the world or went on to have a romance with a witch.
Although the Red Queen had developed her own thoughts and even secretly informed Alice, she was never able to break through the underlying logic that Isaacs had set for her. She could only obey orders and carry out the plan to destroy the world.
Finally, there was an additional benefit that Shen Yi wanted—control of the Hive base.
Whether he likes it or not, he will most likely live in this world for a long time, perhaps even forever, and the Hive Base is undoubtedly the best choice. Moreover, once he controls the Hive, Umbrella's technology will open its doors to him.
As a poor student, his only idea about these technologies was to pass them on to his friends in the chat group to learn, and then shout "Awesome, master!" after they achieved something, and then collect a red envelope.
However, Shen Yi's discovery in the Mechanical Era world served as a wake-up call for everyone. As long as the red envelope bug is not fixed, they are essentially given five brains, driven by five cores, and their learning ability will be off the charts.
Of course, the red envelope bug is not without its flaws.
All five are Shen Yi, and their ways of thinking are largely the same. The only difference is that the Shen Yi from the Condor Heroes world has lived for more than ten years longer than them, which may have led to some changes. However, as knowledge is repeatedly synchronized, their ways of thinking will gradually converge.
Even so, with the help of the red envelope bug, they could easily become super geniuses.

The side door of the armored vehicle slowly opened. Isaacs straightened his clothes and got out of the vehicle first, followed closely by Shen Yi, who was handcuffing Alice.
"You're back too early; the people outside haven't finished cleaning up yet."
To Shen Yi and Alice's surprise, as soon as the armored vehicle returned to the Hive, Wesker, dressed in a black leather jacket and wearing sunglasses in the underground base, came to greet them.
"I'm a doctor, not a killer!"
Although he was just a clone, Isaacs's status was equal to Wesker's. At least in his own mind, he and Wesker were both high-ranking executives of Umbrella Corporation, and there was no question of who was superior to whom.
Wesker wasn't angry. Instead, he explained, "Don't kill this man yet; I have other uses for him."
Upon learning that Isaacs was bringing Alice back, Wesker suddenly realized that this was a good thing.
Putting aside the chaotic setup of each installment of the Resident Evil series betraying each other, in the timeline of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the T-virus was originally developed to treat Alice's original body, Alicia Marcus, for progeria.
However, the T-virus had a far greater effect on Alice than anyone expected, directly granting her superpowers!
This is why the Umbrella Corporation went to such lengths to clone Alice; faced with the allure of such extraordinary power, even the self-proclaimed "Noah's Ark of the New World" could not resist.
However, Alicia, as the original body, is already very old due to progeria. Although the hibernation chamber has greatly slowed down her aging, she still won't live for many more years.
As for cloning a few more new Alices?
Leaving aside the time and resources required, it's hard to say whether the scene of activating superpowers can be reproduced again. After all, another Isaacs had already tried it. Without this original body, none of the previous Alices could activate their superpowers.
Instead of doing that, it would be better to just use this "best version" of Alice. Perfect, Wesker can take credit for the still-unawakened original Isaac.
However, precisely because he wanted to take credit, Wesker naturally couldn't let the clone Isaac do the experiment, so he decided to keep Alice behind.
"Wesker, don't eat that pickled radish!"
Upon seeing Wesker, Alice promptly rushed forward and kicked him with her long leg.
Wesker, unfazed, dodged to the side and kicked Alice in the knee of her other leg. Alice's left leg buckled, and she fell to the ground.
"Alice, don't get so excited, an old friend wants to see you."
Wesker placed one leg on Alice's back and whispered in her ear.
"Hmph, you're not talking about the real Isaacs, are you?"
Alice turned her head with difficulty, gave Wesker a cold smile, and said, "Do you think the guy behind me would go crazy if he knew he was a clone?"
How did you know?
A flicker of surprise crossed Wesker's eyes behind her sunglasses; she actually knew that the real Isaac was still dormant.
"Has he woken up?"
Shen Yi walked up to Wesker, looking like he was going to help suppress Alice, but as he squatted down, he met Wesker's eyes.
He is still asleep.
Still in shock, Wesker blurted out.
The plan to destroy the world will be officially completed tomorrow. At that time, Isaacs himself will release the antidote for the wind-borne toxin to "save" the world. This is why the Red Queen gave Alice a 48-hour deadline.
"Then you're useless."
Just as Wesker sensed something was wrong, Shen Yi had already thrown out a tactical dagger and plunged it directly into Wesker's throat.
Poor Wesker died on duty before he could be "fired".
Shen Yi wasn't confident he could hypnotize Wesker, a staunch supporter of the Umbrella Corporation. A strong will has nothing to do with being a good person. In the original story, even after Alice stuffed a detonator into his hand, he refused to let go until his death, attempting to take Alice down with him. This shows how deeply he loved the Umbrella Corporation.
Realizing that Wesker behind her had lost his strength, Alice stopped pretending. She braced herself with her hands on the ground and threw Wesker off her back. As for the handcuffs on her hands, she had already unlocked them, or rather, they were never properly handcuffed in the first place.
Umbrella's security system is very powerful. In the first movie, the Red Queen killed everyone in the Hive with various mechanical devices, and Alice had to kill a bunch of her teammates to escape. However, this system is also very weak. In the original story, although Alice and her companions were in great danger, the fact that just a few of them managed to break into the Hive headquarters speaks volumes.
While the Red Queen's covert assistance certainly played a part, the bigger factor was that Umbrella Corporation only had one security guard at the Hive headquarters!
