"Whoosh—"
"Bang… Splat—!"
With a loud bang, the Leech Queen's rubber gun arm instantly slammed into Javier's chest. A tremendous force struck, and Javier was sent flying backward. A sweet taste filled his throat, and a trickle of blood immediately spilled from the corner of his mouth. Javier felt intense pain in his chest; this time, it wasn't an illusion—it seemed a rib in his chest had genuinely broken.
What made Javier even more terrified was…
He looked down and discovered that,
his Level 3 bulletproof vest had been bitten through, leaving a large hole. This was unbelievable. This was a Level 3 bulletproof vest, capable of withstanding 7.62mm rifle bullets, yet at this moment, it was torn apart without any resistance. This showed the sharpness of the Leech Queen's mouthparts.
But it was also thanks to this that,
Javier had armed himself to the teeth before leaving. If it weren't for this bulletproof vest, being bitten by the Leech Queen like that would have likely been a minor issue compared to being disemboweled, or even having his intestines churned up and swallowed whole by the vengeful Leech Queen.
Compared to a broken rib,
he was actually very lucky.
"Bang…"
Like a broken rag once more,
Javier slammed into an iron pillar, his breathing shallow and ragged, looking half-dead. This sight made Rebecca and Billy Coen beside him glare with anger. Was Javier really going to die this time? Although they disliked Javier, it didn't mean they truly hated the guy.
Therefore, facing the Leech Queen's actions,
they naturally felt extremely angry—!
And so,
the two, filled with rage,
unleashed all the weapons in their hands. Even the high-caliber, powerful Taurus "Raging Bull" Revolver that Billy Coen had just picked up was used without hesitation, going full-throttle. Amidst deafening gunshots, thick.50 caliber bullets cut through the air, forming visible contrails that swept out!
These were powerful, large-caliber bullets capable of creating air-ring waves—!
Chapter 55: Self-Destruct
"Bang—Bang—Bang—!!!"
With several continuous loud bangs,
several wavy bullet trails streaked through the air, all concentrating and relentlessly pouring onto the Leech Queen's body. Any carbon-based organism would find it difficult to survive such powerful large-caliber bullets.
But the Leech Queen was not an ordinary carbon-based organism.
It possessed a unique skill: "Death Coil"! Of course, it wasn't the kind of Death Coil where legs squeezed tightly together, but rather its entire body's muscles could tightly coil around prey like a python. Even steel bars would bend under such immense power.
Therefore,
the Leech Queen's muscles had the ability to self-alter. When encountering danger, its muscle cells would quickly twist and coil, forming extremely dense muscle, just like a simple long cloth soaked in water and then twisted together, becoming very resilient.
The Leech Queen's Death Coil came with such power. Therefore… even if large-caliber Magnum bullets broke through the Leech Queen's defense, the cavitation effect power originally carried by the bullets would instantly lose its effectiveness because the density was too high.
A thumb-sized bullet,
under the Leech Queen's high-density twisted muscles, would only create a cavitation effect the size of a fist at most. Therefore, such lethality was not a particularly fatal injury for the Leech Queen, which had extremely strong regenerative abilities!
"Splat… Splat…!!!"
The sound of bullets piercing flesh clearly rang out.
Caught off guard, the Leech Queen's entire body was instantly covered in large and small bullet holes. But what shocked Rebecca and Billy was that in just a few seconds, these large and small bullet holes were filled with other tumor-like substances, completely growing new flesh and returning to their original state.
This was the terrifying regenerative ability of the Leech Queen.
What a pity…
The previous Molotov cocktails had no effect.
If the three Molotov cocktails Javier had thrown earlier could have completely burned on the Leech Queen's body, then the Leech Queen's regenerative ability wouldn't be so absurd now. The burn damage and severe injury debuff from the flames
could completely seal the Leech Queen's outer skin, and the flames would leave severe burns on the flesh, those scars would completely block the Leech Queen's regenerative ability.
But it was unexpectedly defended by the Leech Queen's dead skin armor. One can only say it was truly… truly a great pity!
"…"
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!"
With an angry roar,
the injured Leech Queen not only showed no fear but became even more enraged. Its ferocious tentacles on its head danced wildly. After locking onto Rebecca and Billy Coen, its entire body's muscles began to tense, like a compressed spring.
Clusters of tumors piled up,
The next second,
"Buzz…"
"Boom—!!!"
The Leech Queen's body truly sprang forth like a spring, launching itself out! This move was possessed by its subordinate Mutated Leeches, but unexpectedly, it could also use it. Like a cannonball fired from a barrel, its speed was incredibly fast.
For a moment, Rebecca and Billy Coen couldn't react.
After all, even Javier couldn't block the Leech Queen's attack instantly, let alone Rebecca and Billy Coen.
"Bang—!"
A black figure instantly crashed into Rebecca and Billy Coen, directly knocking them flying. At the same time, two long, fleshy tumor arms suddenly grabbed Rebecca and Billy Coen, holding them tightly and lifting them high into the air.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo…"
"Hiss…"
Looking at the two fresh bodies before it,
viscous saliva dripped from the Leech Queen's grotesque and foul-smelling mouthparts. Undoubtedly… it greatly coveted Rebecca and Billy Coen. After all, the reason it hadn't delivered a fatal blow just now was primarily because the Leech Queen wanted to eat people.
Because the previous attacks had consumed a great deal of the Leech Queen's energy, those injuries were indeed not fatal, but the unavoidable energy loss occurred. Therefore, the Leech Queen felt extremely hungry now and wanted to quickly eat the two living people in front of it to replenish energy.
This was why it hadn't instantly killed Rebecca and Billy Coen—!
Meanwhile, on the other side,
watching Rebecca and Billy Coen being grabbed by the Leech Queen, Javier, who had been like a broken rag doll, struggled to lift his head. Seeing the two in imminent danger, Javier gritted his teeth and forcefully pulled out his M500 Revolver from his thigh holster.
Then he sprawled on the ground.
His body, almost falling apart, might not be able to withstand the recoil of this.50 caliber powerful handgun. To prevent the gun barrel from flying up and hitting his face, Javier could only adopt this posture. He quickly loaded two thumb-sized golden bullets.
Flicking the hammer,
the thick silver barrel aimed steadily at the Leech Queen's two arms, held high in the air. Then Javier fiercely pulled the trigger.
"Click…"
"Boom—Boom—!!!"
Two deafening roars,
the thick bullets spun at high speed, with power comparable to an anti-material sniper rifle. The bullets swiftly struck the Leech Queen's two thick arms. Although the Leech Queen's body couldn't be instantly shattered, these two thin, long arms could.
"Splat… Splat…"
"Thud… Thud…!!!"
The sound of bullets piercing flesh echoed once more.
This time… the full force of the.50 caliber bullet's cavitation effect was unleashed. The terrifying airflow generated by the explosion instantly pulverized the Leech Queen's two thin, long arms into a bloody mist, like a meat grinder. Crimson blood and minced flesh splattered onto the ground.
"Bang…"
With a dull thud,
Rebecca and Billy Coen, who had been held high in the air, also fell, hitting the ground. Although their butts hurt a bit, they had finally completely escaped the Leech Queen's grasp. While the Leech Queen was still recovering from its arm injuries, Rebecca and Billy Coen quickly scrambled up and swiftly fled from the Leech Queen's attack range.
This time—
The three and one monster… were back to their original standoff.
It was just that this time… the three of them were severely exhausted. After all, after being bound for less than a minute, Rebecca and Billy Coen's arms were already red from being constricted. If they had been any slower, their bones would likely have been crushed and broken.
…
However,
just as the three were still busy fighting the Leech Queen,
a figure in a white lab coat had already arrived at the central control location of the Cadre Training Institute. The conspicuous white lab coat of a researcher, golden hair, a slightly handsome face, and that constant, almost sinister smile at the corner of his mouth—
Undoubtedly…
This person was one of Marcus's two rebellious disciples, Mr. William Birkin—!
Currently, the Umbrella Corporation's top biological expert, he inherited Marcus's fervent obsession with viruses and his genius intellect. After seizing his teacher Marcus's Leech Queen T-Virus research samples and data, he created a new type of virus,
the G Virus—!
A new type of virus named "God" human. William likened himself to the creator of a new era, an existence greater than God. After all, God only created humans, and he created "God" humans, so wasn't he greater than God…
And this fully demonstrated William's ambition…
"Hoo… Hoo…"
"Damn this broken Institute, so many twists and turns along the way. But it doesn't matter, luckily I've arrived here. James Marcus? My great and beloved teacher… you should be sleeping eternally in the foul sewers, not appearing before me again."
"Because now, I am superior to you! In this world, only I am needed to become the new world's god and creator. No one else is needed."
"Besides, your so-called Leech Queen T-Virus is outdated, just an old, discarded piece of junk, like an antique television from the last century—stinky and useless. Although your perfect fusion with the Leech Queen T-Virus surprised me,"
"But it doesn't matter, because you can never imagine what kind of new virus I have created! G… an existence comparable to a god. By then, I will become the greatest person in the world, a god! No… an existence more powerful than a god. At that time, everyone will worship and kneel at my feet!"
In a sealed room,
William, through the huge computer equipment in front of him, brought up the surveillance to watch the Leech Queen Marcus fighting Javier and the other two. William at this moment was muttering to himself with a playful yet extremely deranged expression.
Undoubtedly—
William had fallen into obsession and madness…
After all,
this was a common ailment for every scientist: genius + great research achievements + no other hobbies = becoming a fool who constantly tries to become a god.
And William was currently in,
the control center of the Cadre Training Institute.
As one of Marcus's two most outstanding students back then, and even after killing Marcus, William and Wesker each served as Institute directors for a period, so they were naturally very familiar with all the secret rooms of the Cadre Training Institute.
Even more familiar than Marcus himself…
However, there were still too many twists and turns in the Institute along the way, especially since it had been infected with the Bio-weapon virus. William had to avoid various monsters and walked for a long time to reach here, so it took a bit too much time.
"Alright…"
"No need for any more words. Goodbye… my dear and respected teacher, and the three pesky rats who broke into the Institute trying to gather evidence and report us. The four of you can rely on each other and die here completely and forever!"
"Click—!"
Without the slightest hesitation,
looking at the people on the surveillance screen,
a fierce look appeared on William's handsome face. He immediately entered a confidential password, successfully unlocked the access, opened the bulletproof glass cover on the equipment, and pressed the Institute's self-destruct program button.
In fact, self-destruction in Resident Evil,
was not a funny meme, but actually had a certain meaning. Although it's often joked about self-destructing when in doubt, it is actually very necessary for Bio-weapon research bases to have self-destruct programs.
Because when a virus leak truly occurs,
and the entire base can no longer contain it, a simple self-destruct program can solve many problems. And after self-destruction, others cannot trace it back to the Umbrella Corporation. Therefore, this is not a funny meme.
In reality, all the Bio-weapon bases established by the Umbrella Corporation around the world have self-destruct programs, precisely to conveniently resolve hidden dangers—!
"Beep, beep, beep…"
