"Tsk, tsk, tsk, unlike some little girl, she has no family affection, no friendship, and no love.
If she were to pursue it, she would definitely grab someone's clothes with her dirty, snot-covered hands and pester them until they had to obey her."
"But still… as an adult, I won't get angry with a child, Alexia.
As a child, will you get angry with an adult? You probably will! After all, you are a child!"
Goodness,
It was another strong counterattack.
Alexia and Lisa looked at each other, their eyes filled with fury.
This was a woman's war, a war without gunpowder, but they had already exchanged hundreds of blows in secret.
But in the end,
Lisa's sharp tongue was superior.
After all, Alexia's status as a young lady, coupled with her characteristic as a blonde loser, destined her to be unable to defeat Lisa, the dark-bellied evil woman.
A young lady is always helpless against a country bumpkin, because the self-esteem cultivated since childhood prevents her from being as unreasonable as a country bumpkin.
…
On the other side—
New York Airport.
Another private jet was parked on the takeoff runway.
That was prepared by Catherine for Javier, but next to it was a cute, chubby white car.
It was obvious that the owner was a woman.
Could Javier really be secretly meeting an old flame?
Uh…
It seemed that was pretty much the case.
"Thump, thump, thump…"
In the distance,
Javier, fully armed and wearing rainforest combat boots, slowly approached.
His equipment was as usual: waterproof tactical pants, breathable tactical T-shirt, lightweight bulletproof vest, a hat, and a shrunken twenty-kilogram backpack.
Since the location this time was the South America tropical rainforest, the Amazon Rainforest, the humid and high-temperature environment had to be considered.
So Javier only wore a breathable T-shirt, and even his bulletproof vest was the lightest Level 1 plate armor.
He also had no helmet, and his tactical backpack was somewhat shrunken, as an overly large backpack is very troublesome to move in the jungle.
As for weapons…
As usual, he carried two Desert Eagles, a Dog Leg Knife, and a modern military crossbow.
There was no anti-material sniper rifle, as that type of weapon is also very troublesome to move in the jungle, and in dense jungle, it's difficult to hit targets, so Javier temporarily abandoned it.
After all, one must use the appropriate weapon for the environment.
This was Javier's consistent mindset.
The rainforest was very suitable for the crossbow's performance.
This weapon was silent, swift, and fast, and it was reusable.
Its power was not weak, easily capable of headshotting zombies.
Additionally… Javier's backpack also contained a large amount of portable explosives.
Hmm… those were explosives that could be tied to crossbow bolts and fired.
Javier intended to reenact Rambo, the god of jungle warfare, and play with his explosive hunting bow.
After all, this also compensated for the crossbow's lack of power, didn't it?
Carrying a pile of things, he slowly walked to the chubby white car and waved to the person inside, greeting:
"…"
"Long time no see.
I didn't expect you to change so much in just four years.
But this time, I'll have to trouble you to partner and assist me, Rebecca…"
As his voice fell,
The car door slowly opened.
The person who stepped out was Rebecca.
Having shed her Laboratory white coat and red-rimmed glasses, Rebecca, for the first time in a while, wore a camouflage combat uniform.
On her shoulder was the nostalgic S.T.A.R.S arm patch.
She still had her neat short hair, but her appearance was no longer as naive; instead, she had become much more mature and intellectual.
Her chest had also evolved from the original small jelly healer to an orange healer.
Although the size was not as astonishing, it had indeed evolved.
Coupled with her increased height, looking at the greatly changed Rebecca before him, Javier could only sigh in disbelief.
"…"
"Long time no see, my partner!"
Seeing this,
Rebecca did not act coy.
Instead, she generously stepped forward and embraced Javier, looking up at him with eyes as calm as autumn water, and said,
Then the two separated, and Javier explained their South America trip to Rebecca.
It was truly for a mission, not a honeymoon—
Not long ago,
Rebecca's computer inbox had received a letter from Javier.
The content was an invitation for Rebecca to accompany him to South America for a mission, and the mission was related to a bio-virus.
Having not seen Javier for four years,
Plus Javier had a favor to ask of her, and the matter involved a bio-virus, Rebecca naturally agreed without any hesitation.
She simply made up an excuse, saying that her experiment was not progressing and she wanted to relax and relieve some stress.
Rebecca then got a week of vacation and drove to the New York airport.
To see Javier again,
Rebecca should have been more excited, but when they truly met, their nostalgic gazes met, and Rebecca understood… that was enough.
She knew Javier also wanted to see her, and that was enough; there was no need for any extra display.
The two were like familiar old friends, perfectly in sync, needing few words to understand each other's thoughts.
As for why Javier suddenly invited Rebecca,
It was mainly because this dungeon location was the rainforest.
Although Rebecca was not a professional wilderness survival expert, nor a jungle combat expert, she was a very formidable potion expert.
Rebecca could easily concoct antidotes for the venomous snakes, scorpions, and spiders in the Amazon tropical rainforest, including toxins released by bio-BOWs.
Therefore, in such a dangerous jungle,
Bringing Rebecca, this potion-specialized healer, was absolutely a stable choice.
Moreover, in four years, Rebecca had not only become an expert in pharmaceutical biology but also greatly improved her medical skills.
She had just completed her surgical studies not long ago, so now Rebecca was truly a healer.
With expertise in potions, biology, and medicine, Rebecca could now handle any situation, making her a truly powerful partner.
Adding to that Manuela's physical condition in the South America dungeon,
Javier was very afraid that even if he rescued the girl, she would die from organ failure due to the T-Veronica Virus's erosion halfway through.
Therefore, Javier also needed a professional doctor to constantly monitor Manuela's vital signs.
And without a doubt,
Rebecca was such a perfect candidate.
This was also the real reason why Javier suddenly invited Rebecca for help in the South America dungeon, and absolutely not for some old flame reunion or date.
"The general situation is like this,"
"Wesker, in order to experiment with the T-Veronica Virus, released it into the black market, where it was purchased by a local drug lord.
Now he is trying to use the indigenous people of the South America rainforest as experimental subjects for the virus."
"And the rainforest environment is extremely complex and harsh, with many venomous snakes and insects.
Rebecca, you are not only an expert in antidotes but also have a considerable amount of research on bio-viruses, so I need your help this time."
Again, without a skip of his heart or a blush on his face,
Javier could be said to be an expert at lying and coaxing girls.
In a flash, he had organized his reasons and excuses, and even complimented Rebecca, which made Rebecca blush shyly.
This situation made Javier feel inexplicably guilty.
What to do…
He felt like he was truly a scumbag.
He shouldn't end up like Makoto, being split up, right?!
He had only deceived these girls verbally; so far, he hadn't actually made a move, so he shouldn't die, right? Probably… maybe…?!
Chapter 7 Jack Krauser
The private plane to South America has already departed…
One day later, in the Amazon Rainforest near Colombia, South America, two unexpected outsiders slowly arrived in this primitive and mysterious area.
Were the arrivals Javier and Rebecca?
No, they were not.
It was a tall man wearing a camouflage hat.
He was also wearing a breathable black long-sleeved shirt and a lightweight vest, camouflage tactical pants, and rainforest combat boots.
He didn't have much other heavy equipment.
In such a complex rainforest environment, running is very difficult, so too much weight would only cause unnecessary trouble.
"Hoo…"
The hot sunlight filtered through the gaps in the rainforest.
The surroundings were all wet, primitive plants, and the ground was muddy.
The tall man exhaled deeply, took off his hat, and wiped the sweat from his face.
This place was truly not fit for humans.
It was like being in a primitive Jurassic Park.
Everywhere were towering trees and dazzling green plants that caused visual confusion, making it easy to get lost in this primitive rainforest.
It was truly a green hell.
Fortunately, the government's transport plane dropped them not far from their target destination.
Otherwise,
Making them trek through this primitive Amazon Rainforest would be a deadly task.
As the hat was slowly removed,
The tall man's face was revealed.
He had medium-parted flaxen short hair, a handsome and refined face, deep and sharp eyes, and a cold, poker face that had become numb from long-term training.
His gaze was fixed on the green hell before him.
A few days ago… he was still performing his agent duties at the request of the United States Government.
He didn't expect to suddenly find himself in the Amazon tropical rainforest of South America.
How bizarre—
That's right,
The person who arrived was Leon Scott Kennedy.
After escaping the nuclear destruction of Raccoon City, Leon, the intern police officer who had escaped death, was unexpectedly noticed by the United States Government and transferred to the Washington headquarters for agent training.
The purpose was to specifically investigate bio-virus incidents.
And four years of training,
Had driven Leon into complete madness; his body was almost numb, and the expression on his face slowly faded.
But thankfully… he persevered, and now he had truly become an official agent of the United States Government.
And this mission to the Amazon Rainforest in South America,
Was also a special mission assigned by the government.
Javier Hidalgo, a major drug lord in Colombia, had somehow acquired a batch of bio-viruses, including the most common T-Virus and the special T-Veronica Virus.
He planned to release these viruses into indigenous villages in the Amazon Rainforest for experiments.
To prevent the virus from spreading further,
The United States Government decided to send Leon to stop all this and recover the T-Veronica Virus samples.
But in reality,
The United States, as the world's police, didn't care at all about Javier Hidalgo releasing viruses in the Amazon Rainforest.
They only cared about the new T-Veronica Virus that Javier Hidalgo possessed, which the United States Government did not have.
Facing this new virus, they had to recover and seize it; that was the real purpose—!
As for Leon,
He was actually very clear about the United States Government's objective.
Ever since the Raccoon City incident… he had pretty much seen through the United States Government.
But there was nothing he could do, because he also came with the purpose of preventing the spread of the bio-virus.
One could only say that both were pursuing their own goals; if they didn't interfere with each other, Leon didn't care.
However,
When he first heard the name Javier Hidalgo, Leon was almost startled.
He really thought it was that Javier guy who had taken the virus and gone to the Amazon Rainforest in South America to become a king.
He looked at the target photo and realized that the drug lord with black, slicked-back hair, sunglasses, and a beard was not Javier at all; it was just a similar first name, but a different last name.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss…"
And just as Leon's thoughts were swirling,
He didn't notice that he was currently in the Amazon tropical rainforest.
The environment here was extremely treacherous; in addition to the hot, humid environment like a steam room, there were also a large number of venomous insects and snakes hidden.
At this moment, a green and black striped venomous snake slowly lowered itself from a tree branch, its long neck gradually approaching Leon's direction.
A pair of vertical snake pupils emitted a faint glow,
Its foul-smelling mouth opened, immediately revealing two sharp fangs, ready to ambush and bite Leon's neck!
And Leon was surprisingly unaware…?!
"Whoosh—!"
The next second,
The venomous snake suddenly shot out swiftly,
Like a bolt of lightning, its speed was incredibly fast, making it very difficult for an ordinary person to react.
Just as the sharp fangs were about to touch Leon's neck, they were firmly grabbed by a strong hand at the tail and pulled back.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss…!!!"
The strong hand was like an iron clamp,
Gripping the venomous snake so tightly that it was in unbearable pain, almost squeezing its intestines out.
The snake quickly made a counterattack, giving up on the idea of continuing to ambush Leon, and again opened its foul-smelling mouth and fangs, biting towards the person behind it.
"Pfft…!"
But soon,
A flash of silvery white light,
The sharp tactical knife sliced through effortlessly.
Before the venomous snake could react, its head had already fallen to the ground.
The cut was incredibly smooth.
The strong hand flung the snake's body aside, and a thick rainforest combat boot mercilessly stepped on the snake's head, burying it deep in the mud pit.
"Rookie…"
"Were you trying to die just now?"
A dull, hoarse voice came.
