Their body shape, skin color, and even facial features began to change.
A few seconds later, the people standing in the same spot were no longer Zhou Ye and Nami, but two dark-skinned black people with slightly different builds.
Even the clothes they wore changed to a loose, street-style look.
"Hmm..." Nami looked down at the back of her hand, which had turned dark brown, and then touched the altered bone structure on her face, her expression somewhat subtle.
"This disguise... feels weird. Although it's incredibly effective, this skin tone... just doesn't feel right."
"Stop talking nonsense, as long as it works."
Zhou Ye's voice had also been adjusted, becoming low and hoarse. "Did you remember the addresses that Takashiro Yuriko gave you?"
"Of course!"
Nami immediately perked up, her eyes sparkling. "Three jewelry stores in the city center, one in the riverside district, and a counter in that big shopping mall in the west of the city! I've also memorized the location of the vault! Gems! Gold! We're going to be rich!"
Zhou Ye nodded.
"Then let's start the zero-dollar purchase. You can splurge on your gem magic for a while, and I can create a golden figurine."
His figure disappeared into the deeper darkness first, followed closely by Nami.
First stop, downtown, [Brilliant Star] jewelry store.
Late at night, the shop had already closed, the heavy bulletproof glass door was tightly shut, and the infrared security system was operating silently.
Zhou Ye, carrying Nami, passed directly through the wall.
They entered the store like ghosts.
The store's emergency lights cast a dim glow, illuminating the glittering merchandise in the glass display cases.
Diamond necklaces, ruby rings, sapphire earrings... a dazzling array.
"Wow..." Nami couldn't help but exclaim softly.
Her eyes were almost shaped like jewels.
Zhou Ye ignored her greedy look.
He walked to a corner and ran his finger along the wall.
A tiny, almost invisible object, resembling an insect egg, was embedded in a crack in the wall.
An imperceptible flow of [Honkai energy] exists on the surface of the object.
[Herrscher of Reason + Mumu ability activated - Biomonitor, activated. Energy supply: Honkai Energy. Functions: Environmental monitoring, biosignal capture, real-time data transmission.]
The underground pipes here appear to be not far from one of Umbrella's secret entrances.
After doing all that, he turned to the display cases.
[Herrscher of Reason + Muncat Fragment Ability] Activated.
No key or password required.
The sturdy display case lock was useless, automatically opening in front of him.
"Let's get started," Zhou Ye said to Nami. "Hurry up."
"okay!"
Nami cheered, took out the bag she had prepared beforehand, and began a shopping spree.
She was quick and decisive, targeting only those large-carat, high-quality gemstones.
They didn't even spare the gold jewelry.
Zhou Ye then walked towards the vault at the back of the shop.
The heavy alloy door and the complicated combination lock.
For him, it was still meaningless.
My palm touched the door, and the space rippled slightly.
Click.
The door opened.
Inside the vault were even larger quantities of unmounted diamonds and precious metals.
Zhou Ye didn't stand on ceremony and directly transferred the most valuable parts into his storage space.
The Gao family's foundation is indeed profound. Unfortunately, it's all mine now.
After raiding the first store, the two once again passed through the wall and disappeared into the night.
The entire process takes no more than ten minutes.
No alarms were triggered.
The second stop is [Jin Yu Man Tang] in the Riverside area.
This shop mainly sells gold and jade.
The same operation: pass through the wall, place a surveillance camera, unlock the door, and sweep the goods.
Nami looked at the heavy gold bars and couldn't stop smiling.
"Boss, we've struck it rich! We've really struck it rich!"
Zhou Ye remained calm.
He also placed a biomonitor at the ventilation duct interface in the store.
This pipe connects to the city's old sewage system and extends towards the Arklay Mountains... William Birkin's underground research facility should be nearby.
The third stop was the [Gaocheng Jewelry] counter at the Chengxi Shopping Center.
Security is much tighter here, with security guards patrolling the mall.
But for Zhou Ye, who possesses spatial abilities, there is no difference.
He and Nami seemed to blend into the air, avoiding all surveillance and patrol routes, and appeared directly inside the counter.
Install surveillance cameras.
This time, the location was chosen next to the fire sprinkler head on the ceiling of the counter.
Shopping malls have high foot traffic and complex underground structures, making them good locations for surveillance.
Then there's "zero-yuan purchase".
Although the inventory in department stores is not as large as that in independent stores, there are still many high-quality items.
Nami was overwhelmed by the choices.
The final stop was a secret warehouse in the suburbs belonging to the Takashiro zaibatsu, which was also their largest safe deposit box.
The area is heavily guarded, with high walls and electric fences on the outside, infrared and gravity sensors on the inside, and armed security personnel on duty 24 hours a day.
"This looks a bit troublesome, boss," Nami muttered to herself, looking at the brightly lit warehouse in the distance.
"Trouble?" Zhou Ye sneered. "It doesn't exist for us."
He held Nami's hand.
The next second, the two appeared directly in front of the massive alloy vault at the very heart of the warehouse.
It bypassed all external defenses and internal sensors.
Inside the vault.
Rows of safes, mountains of gold bricks, and various gemstones and finished products stored in different categories.
Its value far exceeds the sum of all the previous stores.
"Oh my God……"
Nami covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming.
She felt like she was about to faint from happiness.
Zhou Ye remained unmoved.
He walked to an inconspicuous corner deep inside the vault, where there was an abandoned wiring interface.
Another biological monitor has been installed.
He began using the [Herrscher of the Void Fragment] to transfer large amounts of gold and gems.
Nami also snapped out of her daze and joined the "moving" work.
The two, like the most efficient ants, swept away all the most valuable items in the entire vault.
Four o'clock in the morning.
A hotel on the outskirts of Raccoon City, where magical barriers and spatial barriers have been set up to ward off idlers.
The room's floor was covered with gleaming gold bricks and gemstones that shimmered with various colors.
Nami lay among the pile of jewels, rolling around like a happy groundhog, making satisfied humming noises.
"We're rich! We're rich! Boss, can we retire now?"
Zhou Ye sat on the sofa next to him, wiping the Beretta M9 pistol he had just bought.
He didn't look at the treasures; his eyes remained calm.
"retire?"
He glanced at Nami.
"Is that all you've got? You think a rich human is so wealthy? Look at the demon families in our world, they're like seas of gold and silver."
"Speak," he said, recalling the information he had gleaned from hacking into the Umbrella network.
In just one day, a makeshift border wall was erected on the outskirts of Raccoon City... claiming it was part of the city's expansion.
Umbrella's reaction was faster than expected.
That female Wesker… her intuition is frighteningly sharp. She already sensed that Raccoon City was going to spiral out of control and started preparing for quarantine in advance.
Blocking information, conducting a secret investigation, appeasing the family, and dealing with those who do not cooperate... standard procedure.
Soichiro Takashiro and William Birkin are still fighting amongst themselves, trying to steal the G virus... Hmph, a bunch of idiots, they don't even realize they're about to face disaster.
