"Relax, Javier," "I won't run away so easily. How about after this job is done, I treat you to a coconut drink in Hawaii? Consider it a reward for an old partner, after all, you've helped me earn a lot of extra money, haven't you?"
Her beautiful eyes blinked slightly.
Ada playfully winked at Javier and said softly with a slight curl of her red lips, her tone very alluring. Javier instantly got goosebumps when he heard this.
This woman is too flirtatious. It's fine when she doesn't release her charm, but once she does, few people can endure it. She's simply a living vixen.
And the most rare thing is,
This vixen isn't the type who relies solely on her looks to flirt, but rather the type who flirts with her abilities. A woman who is beautiful, elegant, and also very strong, capable, and has a career, her charm is undoubtedly the strongest and the most attractive type to men.
They all say women admire strength,
But why wouldn't men like a woman who is equally capable?
And Ada is precisely that type. No wonder, throughout the entire Resident Evil series, the one who leaves the most romantic entanglements is definitely not the male protagonists like Leon and Chris, but Ada.
John, a department head at Umbrella Corporation, Derek C. Simmons, a senior security advisor to the United States Government, and even our big romantic Leon, all fell at Ada's feet. This is undoubtedly a manifestation of Ada's invincible charm.
And these three are just the ones that have been discovered so far. Who knows how many more romantics Ada has charmed to help her complete tasks due to the need for connections during her missions?
"Then we'll see if there's a chance!"
"After all, as a simple househusband, I rarely get to have affairs outside," Javier retorted stubbornly in response to Ada's teasing.
Chapter 57: It's Noon—
"..."
"Da da da da da da da da—!!!!"
No sooner had Javier finished speaking than Ada instantly pulled the trigger of her Uzi submachine gun. The small gun body immediately erupted in a series of intense gunshots, directly drowning out Javier's voice.
Don't let its small size fool you; its power is by no means weak. The mini-micro design makes the Uzi submachine gun easy to carry, and it can give the opponent quite a surprise in close-quarters combat and indoor shootouts.
After all,
You, holding a semi-automatic pistol in a confined space, surely wouldn't want to encounter a fully automatic Uzi submachine gun—!
The bullets, like small fingers, fired incredibly fast, capable of firing dozens of rounds in the blink of an eye. As a submachine gun, it also uses 9mm caliber bullets, with power at least not inferior to a pistol.
These dozens of bullets sprayed out in a continuous stream, instantly hitting the Invisible Bug U2's head. Ada's marksmanship remained precise!
"Pffft pffft...!"
Liquid splattered.
These Invisible Bugs are arthropods, and arthropods don't have blood, but rather a splashing yellowish-green liquid. Although the Invisible Bug's carapace is very hard, it obviously couldn't withstand a continuous barrage of bullets. With just one burst, it immediately fell to the ground, losing all signs of life.
The first Invisible Bug was easily dealt with.
But... what about the dozens that followed?
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz—!!!"
"Hiss hiss hiss—!!!"
A series of piercing insect chirps suddenly assailed her ears.
Ada had just put away her Uzi submachine gun when another Invisible Bug immediately pounced on her face, only half a meter away from her. Its triangular, grotesque insect head was almost touching her.
Its appearance was incredibly horrifying, its sharp mandibles continuously opening and closing. A foul odor emanated from its mouthparts, as if it wanted to immediately bite off a piece of Ada's flesh.
Not only that,
The Invisible Bug's two half-hanging limb claws immediately struck, covered in sharp barbs. Once caught,
The sharp barbs would pierce into the flesh, making it very difficult to break free, and then she would be instantly devoured by this ugly bug!
But...
Ada seemed to have been prepared for this?
"Get lost—!"
A low shout.
Ada looked at the Invisible Bug in front of her with extreme disgust and contempt, blurting out a curse. Then, she quickly retreated a few steps. Her bright red patterned cheongsam lifted, and her fair, deadly long leg instantly emerged from the hem of her skirt. A black high heel also conspicuously appeared before the Invisible Bug...
What is this for?
Exposing her long leg for no reason, but I'm a large insect... Is it a honeypot attack?!
Of course not—!
"Click!"
The black high heel stepped down forcefully.
Immediately, a crisp sound occurred inside, as if a mechanism had been triggered. The next second, with a "clang"!
A snow-white sharp knife suddenly appeared on the tip of Ada's high heel, emitting a chilling glint. It looked very sharp.
Hidden weapon...
It truly can only be said that she is Ada. A knife hidden in her shoe is simply standard equipment for a female agent like Ada.
"Bang—!"
"Pffft...!"
Her thigh muscles tensed, and with an instant burst of strength, carrying the sharp knife, Ada kicked the Invisible Bug's head fiercely. With a dull thud, the sharp dagger instantly pierced through the Invisible Bug's head. Green liquid flowed out, and the sudden sharp pain caused the Invisible Bug to temporarily lose its attack command.
"Bang—!"
"Whoosh—!!!"
And taking advantage of this opportunity,
Ada once again pulled out the grappling hook gun from her thigh holster and instantly shot it towards a stone pillar in the castle hall behind her. The tip of the grappling hook gun immediately embedded itself inside the pillar, and the steel cable moved, instantly pulling Ada's body back, quickly creating distance again from the encroaching Invisible Bugs.
And once the distance was created,
Then it was Ada's turn to attack.
"Da da da da da da da—!!!"
Raising her Uzi submachine gun, Ada unleashed another barrage of gunfire at the Invisible Bugs in front of her. Three or four Invisible Bugs fell from the air again, and the ground was covered in green liquid. With a series of fluid movements, Ada easily broke through another large group of Invisible Bugs' encirclement.
"Whew..."
Seeing that the Invisible Bugs suddenly didn't dare to rush forward and attack, Ada let out a deep breath and glanced at Javier's direction from the corner of her eye.
However—
It wasn't a problem not to glance, but once Ada did, she saw that Javier's situation was completely different from hers. She was dealing with three or four Invisible Bugs so thrillingly, but Javier's side seemed to be playing around.
"Bang bang bang—!!!"
"Boom boom boom—!!!"
A series of deafening gunshots rang out. Just by the sound of the gunfire, it was clear that their firepower was not on the same level at all. Javier had pulled out a pump-action shotgun from somewhere. It was completely black, a standard police riot gun.
He sprayed indiscriminately at the Invisible Bugs in front of him. The 12-gauge shotgun pellets splattered with fire, spreading and attacking the Invisible Bugs like exploding fireworks, giving them no chance to get close.
When the pump-action shotgun ran out of ammunition, he would pull out a short-barreled double-barrerel shotgun from his right hand again. The two weapons fired in alternation, forcing the Invisible Bugs to retreat steadily, unable to get close at all!
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
A few Invisible Bugs had just flapped their wings, intending to approach Javier, but Javier rewarded them with a 12-gauge shotgun pellet snack.
Their entire bulky and enormous bodies were instantly pierced by the scalding steel pellets, and the thin wings on their backs were riddled with holes. In an instant, they quickly collapsed to the ground.
And the two shotguns, one long and one short, in Javier's hand seemed to have no limit on ammunition. He used one, then switched to the other, until about ten Invisible Bugs lay dead on the ground.
Their bodies were dismembered, their deaths terrifyingly gruesome. The remaining seven or eight Invisible Bugs, seeing this scene, couldn't help but retreat several meters in fear.
Although they are insects,
They at least have some intelligence. At least they understand what fear is. When a creature sees a prey of its size suddenly capable of killing it, it becomes afraid and falls into hesitation. This is a very normal thing.
And now these Invisible Bugs were in such a state. They didn't understand why Javier was different from other humans, able to easily kill several of their kind. If this continued, these Invisible Bugs would have to consider whether to continue attacking.
"No wonder this guy is so fearless..."
"But, when did these two shotguns appear? Did he set up a weapon drop here?"
Seeing the two long and short shotguns in Javier's hand,
Ada seemed to finally understand why Javier had chosen to stay behind. It turned out he had powerful weapons to protect himself.
But what puzzled Ada was how these two weapons were pulled out. If it was an advance air drop, there didn't seem to be any weapon crates around, and the shotguns were standard police riot guns, completely the same kind of World War II antiques that the Merchant sold earlier.
This question left Ada completely baffled.
Perhaps this was Javier's little secret he wanted to hide.
But secrets are secrets, and Ada didn't have time to deal with them. After forcing back the remaining seven or eight Invisible Bugs with her Uzi submachine gun, Ada took out her personal dagger and pried out the eye-gemstones from the Invisible Bugs on the ground.
Ada actually always carries a melee weapon, but she rarely uses it. After all, Ada knows she is a woman.
In close combat, her strength is simply not comparable to men like Javier and Leon, which is a great disadvantage. So Ada tries to solve problems with a gun as much as possible, thus she is rarely seen using close-quarters combat, only resorting to it when absolutely necessary.
"..."
"Click click click..."
While Javier was in front, helping to distract the Invisible Bugs, Ada quickly completed her dissection task. She skillfully and efficiently used a small knife to pry out the eye-gems from the Invisible Bug corpses. A pile of colorful, beautiful gems filled a small burlap bag.
This was her extra money.
By then, even if she fell out with her direct superior, Wesker, she would have confidence. After all, these things alone were indeed enough for Ada to live comfortably for three years.
Then she would take a vacation, travel, and so on,
And whenever those troublemakers developed a new virus, Ada would leisurely come out to take on jobs again.
As for the Earth exploding, the world restarting?
She thought about it and decided against it, because Ada simply didn't believe that the Resident Evil virus could cover the entire world. That would be underestimating the power of humanity. She had said it countless times: viruses are just a new type of weapon developed by various national high-levels for invasion.
Before, it was hot weapons, nuclear weapons, but they were banned. Then came information warfare and commercial warfare, controlling limited resources to curb the development of other countries, trying to keep them at a significant disadvantage and technologically backward compared to oneself. This is the newest type of warfare, silent and invisible.
But some people felt that this method was too slow, too ineffective, so the Resident Evil virus appeared. It is not only a stepping stone to bring human technology and civilization to a higher level, but also the best weapon for national high-levels to destroy enemy countries!
Therefore,
Ada never thought that the Earth would explode because of a virus, or that the world would restart. She just needed to focus on this job, make good money, and live her life.
However,
Just as Ada was still happily collecting her beautiful gems, she was completely unaware... a dark shadow had already enveloped her and Javier's heads. The aura of death was gradually spreading, and the dark Grim Reaper, the Executioner Verdugo, was already on its way, ready to drag Ada and Javier into the abyss of death at any moment.
And the so-called dark Grim Reaper—
It was undoubtedly Raymond's right-hand man.
As the most loyal servant's right-hand Executioner Verdugo, the red-robed, black-armored scorpion monster, at this very moment, it had come to claim the lives of Javier and the others at Raymond's command!
"Thump thump thump thump thump—!!!!"
Rapid footsteps echoed in the castle corridor.
Its speed was incredibly fast, almost only a blurry shadow could be seen. A mass of red robes covered its body, and before any movement was detected,
This Grim Reaper had already stepped into the castle hall covered by the Invisible Bug's nest. A pair of crimson, glowing eyes immediately locked onto Javier, who was most conspicuous in the center.
With one long and one short shotgun, he was forcing the Invisible Bugs to retreat steadily.
This immediately drew the Grim Reaper's attention to Javier. It exhaled a breath of turbid air, and a faint hiss sounded. The Grim Reaper, coming for their lives, instantly shot towards Javier!
Javier, however, was completely unaware of the impending danger. He merely frowned, a premonition of ill fortune washing over him. This was the instinctive danger alert developed after repeatedly hovering on the brink of life and death.
"..."
"Javier, behind you—!!!"
Fortunately,
Ada detected the Grim Reaper's arrival a step ahead of Javier. As Ada looked up, she saw a red figure flash past her at high speed. A sharp, scythe-like claw extended from within the red robe and lunged directly towards Javier's back!
