Chapter 32: One-on-One
"Bang…!"
A muffled thud.
There was no massive explosion, as this was a flashbang. While the T-002 Tyrant was still wondering what this thing was, a blinding white light suddenly expanded rapidly in its hand, followed by an extremely penetrating sonic boom.
It was like brilliant fireworks.
Countless white light points bloomed.
The T-002 Tyrant felt as if its rolling eyes had been instantly pierced by an extremely strong light. The intense stinging pain made it instinctively cover its eyes, but at this moment, it was already too late. Under the severe blinding, the T-002 Tyrant's eyes couldn't help but bleed. This was a sign of awakening the Mangekyo Sharingan.
And not just its eyes.
The T-002 Tyrant's ears also felt intense discomfort. It was as if something had struck them instantly, and a buzzing tinnitus continued to echo inside the T-002 Tyrant's ears. Almost at the same time, its ears lost hearing, and its eyes lost sight. Only its sense of smell remained.
The T-002 Tyrant could clearly pinpoint several new scents appearing, but it couldn't attack immediately because the discomfort from the flashbang was too intense. This instantly disrupted the T-002 Tyrant's body control and coordination system.
It could only stand frozen in place, as if stunned, unable to move for a long time…
Of course,
Chris, who was rolling on the ground, was also having a very hard time.
Although he wasn't the one who took the flashbang at close range, he was still affected. Even if he had taken defensive measures, the pain was indelible. During training in the military, Chris often experienced his own team's flashbang throws, so he was very familiar with that feeling and had a strong aversion to it.
Even if you close your eyes and cover your ears, the extremely penetrating white light and sonic boom can temporarily extinguish and disable your sight and hearing.
Chris crawled and stumbled on the ground for a long time.
He even bumped his head against nearby Laboratory equipment before staggering to his feet. Looking at the blurry, darkened scene before him, Chris vigorously shook his head and blinked his eyes.
Once his vision had mostly recovered,
Chris dragged the dying Old Captain Enrico of Bravo Team from the corner of the wall and frantically fled towards the tunnel exit.
He didn't look back at the T-002 Tyrant's figure because Chris knew that the monster behind him would only be dazed for a second or two longer than himself. If he missed this time, that terrifying monster could rush up and attack them again at any moment.
Therefore, Chris chose to flee first…
"Thump, thump, thump…!!!"
However,
He hadn't gone far yet.
Chris ran head-on into several figures.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
Chris was knocked hard.
He quickly looked up and realized that the newcomers were Javier and the others. The flashbang earlier was also thrown by Javier. When Javier left, he carried five High-explosive grenades and five flashbangs. All the High-explosive grenades were used up. One of the flashbangs was used on the Zodiac Train to deal with the Containment of Mutated Leeches.
One was used against the Prototype Tyrant T-001, another against Leech Queen Marcus, and now a flashbang was used for crowd control against the T-002 Tyrant. Therefore, Javier only had one flashbang left.
"…"
"Where did Wesker go?"
Upon meeting,
Javier looked at the disheveled Chris and Enrico and quickly asked, as both of them were covered in blood, especially Old Captain Enrico of Bravo Team. His hand was a bloody mess, he was constantly coughing up blood, and his face was pale, looking half-dead.
Basically, there was no need to guess that Wesker was behind this. But what Javier hadn't expected was that Old Captain Enrico hadn't died. This was the most miraculous thing, as in the original timeline, Enrico should have been shot dead by Wesker to silence him.
And now he was still alive…
It should be the causal reaction triggered by Javier, this blue butterfly—
"Cough, cough, Wes…Wesker is a spy,"
"He's not part of S.T.A.R.S. He was sent by Umbrella Corporation to monitor the Raccoon City Police Department. He lured us here to fight against the monsters they developed at Umbrella Corporation, so they could obtain combat data and further enhance the monsters' abilities."
"All of this is a conspiracy by Umbrella Corporation. We absolutely cannot let Wesker go back, or all our previous efforts will be in vain. He will definitely lie and tamper with our information if he returns. At that point, all of us in S.T.A.R.S will become spies."
At this moment,
Old Captain Enrico, who was thought to be on his last breath, suddenly raised his head and struggled to explain, opening the door to the truth. He then pulled out the photograph and a roll of film from his pocket. The photograph was the group photo of Wesker when he was an Umbrella Corporation researcher. Although it was stained with blood, Wesker's figure was still clearly visible.
As for the film,
It was evidence of Umbrella Corporation's Resident Evil research.
Javier and the others had previously found Ada Wong's email in the computer, which Old Captain Enrico had actually already reviewed. That roll of film was the evidence he extracted after cracking the password in the video data room.
Recorded on it,
All of it was evidence of Umbrella Corporation's various Bio-weapon research experiments, such as Zombies, Cerberus, and Hunter, including Bio-weapon experiment data like the Tyrant. All of it was meticulously documented. If given to the United States Government, it could definitely bring down the behemoth that was Umbrella Corporation—!
"I'll go after Wesker…"
"I'll leave this to you."
Looking at the T-002 Tyrant, which was still in a controlled state of paralysis, Javier hesitated for a moment, then quickly made a decision. He took off his tactical backpack, even throwing his M500 Revolver to Chris. Javier simply carried a Desert Eagle and the tactical knife sheathed on Enrico's thigh.
And ran towards the other direction of the Laboratory tunnel…
Are you kidding?
Javier was too lazy to deal with the troublesome T-002 Tyrant.
Just leave it to these protagonists to deal with. Chris, Rebecca, and Jill, all three protagonists are here. He doesn't believe they can't handle the T-002 Tyrant in front of them. What's more… he still has a mission involving Wesker. He must personally kill Wesker at least once, even if that Bio-weapon demon can revive!
All his equipment was thrown on the ground. Watching Javier's gradually disappearing back and the T-002 Tyrant's gradually awakening signs, the two formed a strong contrast, leaving Jill and Rebecca and the others dumbfounded.
Goodness gracious…
They were hoping Javier, that scoundrel, had some brilliant plan to deal with the tricky T-002 Tyrant in front of them, but they didn't expect this guy to just run away?!
This was something Jill and Rebecca and the others were caught off guard by. And looking at the T-002 Tyrant, which had now completely recovered from the discomfort of the flashbang, its bloodshot eyes were filled with unsuppressed rage. This furious appearance made Jill and Rebecca a little timid.
This monster was already powerful enough when it wasn't angry.
Now that it's so furious, how are they supposed to fight it? Head-on?
There was no other way.
Looking at the T-002 Tyrant, which was eager to move, Jill and Rebecca and the others could only brace themselves and point their shotguns at the T-002 Tyrant in front of them. It seemed they would have to rely on their skills next.
Chris also looked speechless.
He had thought he was saved, but he still had to fight head-on. But looking at the M500 Revolver Javier threw to him, Chris's mood improved slightly. He had played with this thing in a gun shop before, and its power was indeed impressive.
The revolver design, combined with.50 caliber bullets, was enough to be called the king of handguns. However, due to a series of disadvantages such as difficulty in carrying, slow reloading speed, and poor concealment, no one would use this thing except for hunting and collecting.
Normally, Chris himself wouldn't carry such a thing. After all, it's like carrying a stun gun in your pants pocket, too conspicuous. He already had one stun gun in his crotch, so if he had another, wouldn't that be too much? A semi-automatic pistol was more suitable for the flexibility of their S.T.A.R.S.
But now,
Looking at the M500 Revolver's large, bird-like frame, Chris felt an inexplicable sense of security. This is what you call powerful and effective. For fighting zombies… this thing is even more formidable!
"Hey! Monster,"
"I didn't serve you well just now, but now… you try it. I guarantee I can blow your head off with one shot!"
A slight smirk on his lips,
Chris, wielding the divine weapon, wasn't intimidated by the T-002 Tyrant's ferocious expression. On the contrary, he was unusually excited. The dark muzzle was firmly aimed at the T-002 Tyrant's head, and Chris spoke calmly, threatening.
…
And on the other side—
Inside the tunnel of the other Laboratory,
To catch up with Wesker, Javier was running at full speed. He couldn't let Wesker escape. This was not only about the completion of his system mission but also the future development of the plot.
Wesker no longer intended to fake his death. If he returned to the Raccoon City Police Department, relying on his special identity and the fat pig Chief Brian, it wouldn't be difficult to tamper with their identity information. It's very likely that in just one night,
They would go from being admired S.T.A.R.S members to absurd identities like traitors and spies.
Therefore, Javier absolutely could not let Wesker, that queer, go back.
And Javier, having shed a lot of weight, felt completely light. Coupled with the upcoming showdown with Wesker, the big boss of Resident Evil, Javier's adrenaline surged slightly, making him unusually excited.
But the next second,
"Bang—!!!"
A gunshot rang out decisively.
Sparks flashed in the dark tunnel.
The moment Javier heard the gunshot, his body instinctively dropped to the ground. Javier immediately hit the floor, and the bullet grazed his head, sparking against the corner of the wall. It was clear the bullet had missed Javier. Long-term training and instinct saved Javier's life.
And at this moment,
A familiar and cold voice slowly sounded:
"Heh heh…"
"I thought it was someone else chasing me to their death. Turns out it's you, the new rookie. To be honest… your performance surprises me, rookie. Not only did you help us deal with Marcus, that Leech Queen, but now you've specifically come to die, saving me a lot of trouble."
Speaking as he walked,
Wesker's figure slowly emerged from the dark shadows, holding a police pistol. Under his dark sunglasses, his gaze towards Javier was somewhat playful.
To be honest,
Ever since Wesker injected himself with the Progenitor Virus and began awakening his superpowers, he had basically not put anyone in his eyes. Even excellent soldiers like Chris and Javier were nothing more than a rabble in Wesker's eyes, let alone in a one-on-one situation.
If Wesker was willing,
His current one-on-one ability could indeed take down a T-002 Tyrant alone, and that's even with the T-002 Tyrant's power limiter removed. So, his arrogance was understandable.
But…
Facing such a Wesker,
Javier's nerves were also on a different wavelength.
Seeing Wesker acting so arrogant, Javier also began to act profound, his tone becoming much more weathered as he spoke calmly:
"I've come…"
"Yes, I know I shouldn't have come, but I still did, because I know this is fate. What must come, ultimately cannot be avoided, so I came!"
Wesker: "…? "
Alright, Wesker had no idea what Javier was rambling about. This was the first time he realized that this shooting prodigy from S.T.A.R.S was not only odd in personality but also a bit mentally unstable.
"Shut up!"
"I don't understand what gibberish you're spouting. If you want to stop me, try to measure yourself first. I won't hold back!"
"Bang—Bang—Bang—!!!"
Seeing Javier still acting up,
Wesker didn't bother with this lunatic. After cursing, he quickly raised his gun, aimed at Javier's head, and rapidly pulled the trigger. Earlier, it was because the distance was too far and the environment too dark, so Wesker only relied on sound to locate him and didn't manage to blow Javier's head off with one shot.
But this time was different.
At such a close and clear distance, Wesker didn't think his marksmanship could be that bad. What's more… his usual marksmanship was on par with Chris, the military's shooting champion.
But…
Facing Wesker's proud marksmanship,
Javier also quickly pulled out the Desert Eagle from his waist. The two were like a Western cowboy duel. Wesker took the initiative, while Javier counterattacked to win. Pulling the trigger, he violently swung the gun, and the Desert Eagle's bullet instantly shot out in a bizarre arc!
Chapter 33: Newton's Great-Uncle's Aunt's Husband's Gun Kata
"Bang—!!!"
A gunshot rang out.
Javier, holding the Desert Eagle, swung it rapidly in an extremely peculiar way, and the bullet shot out from it. That way… it was as if it was a deliberately executed move, but Wesker, from a distance, paid no attention to it.
