Cherreads

Chapter 358 - 358

The other two remaining people were Pedro and Gabe, and just as the group was discussing how to escape, Alex, the mastermind, broadcast a secret to everyone:

All of TerraSave's members had been injected with the T-Phobos virus by her. This virus would not cause any harm during its incubation period.

However, once the host fell into a state of fear,

that is, when the color of their wrist turned red, it meant the virus had begun to infect. Once infected, they would turn into monsters. Alex hoped some of them would survive.

And then...

Because of the broadcast,

a large number of zombie monsters were attracted. Claire and Moira and others frantically tried to stop them. Pedro, one of the TerraSave members who knew the truth, was the first to lose control to fear.

The color on his wrist immediately turned red.

Immediately, Pedro, as if to prove Alex's words, became infected and turned into a zombie monster in front of Claire and Moira. He was then killed by the two working together. With one companion gone,

Claire, Moira, and Neil then fled. Gabe, another TerraSave member, was left behind because he was busy repairing a helicopter on the island, but he would later crash and die!

As they ran,

the three discovered a mysterious tall tower on the island. The signal from their wristbands was being transmitted from the tower. To figure out the truth of the matter,

Claire and Moira decided to go to the mysterious tower to investigate. At this moment, Neil, the two-faced traitor with a guilty conscience,

left the group under the pretext of covering their retreat and attracting monsters. He secretly went to the tower alone to complete his transaction with Alex and receive his reward.

On the way to the tower,

Claire and Moira successively met a peculiar old man and a little girl. The old man was a native of Zabiti Island.

Because Alex had harmed the island's natives, he strongly disliked outsiders. But seeing that Claire and Moira were also victims, the old man let them go.

And helped clear the path for Claire and Moira to the top floor of the tower. The old man was looking for his missing daughter, so he did not plan to go with Claire and Moira.

Continuing forward,

Claire and Moira then encountered a little girl named Natalia in the middle of the tower. This girl was a survivor of the Floating Island Panic incident.

Her parents were killed by zombies, and she experienced major changes from a young age, so she felt no fear towards anything.

She was specifically captured by the traitor Neil to be offered to Alex. Natalia was also injected with the T-Phobos virus; her wrist was red.

But miraculously,

Natalia did not turn into a zombie. Without a doubt... Natalia was the vessel Alex had been longing for, with enough mental strength to accommodate the insertion of her second personality!

Unable to abandon Natalia,

Claire and Moira took her into their care. Afterward, the two arrived at a monitoring room, where Claire found evidence that her companion Neil was a traitor.

Because Neil had been holding a menu at their gathering, and now that same menu was in the monitoring room. On the menu were the names of their TerraSave members.

Undoubtedly, this was a premeditated kidnapping, and Neil was the betrayer. This broke Claire's heart, as she had originally had a good impression of Neil.

But soon,

Claire and Moira saw Neil's figure on the monitoring screen in the control room. It turned out that Neil was trading with Alex

to obtain a virus sample.

However, Alex, as the mastermind, chose to burn bridges, directly injecting the virus into Neil's body, and a sudden Change occurred!

Seeing the unexpected turn of events, Claire and Moira rushed out to check on Neil. Although he was a traitor and a two-timer,

Claire and Moira would not allow Neil to die so simply; at least he had to return to atone for his sins.

However,

Neil, injected with the virus, could not suppress its power and eventually transformed directly into a monster like a Tyrant, attacking both Claire and Moira.

Seizing this opportunity,

Alex, hiding in the shadows, took away Natalia, her long-desired experimental subject. Claire and Moira were no match for the Tyrant-transformed Neil. Claire was quickly pinned down, and her pistol fell beside Moira.

Seeing Claire in danger,

Moira, who was very resistant to firearms, finally overcame her inner demons, picked up the pistol from the ground, and killed the Tyrant-transformed Neil with a headshot, saving Claire's life.

Later, while collecting data,

Claire and Moira learned of Alex's plan. She intended to achieve immortality by transferring memory data.

And the transfer target had to possess strong mental power. The little girl Natalia, who was injected with the T-Phobos virus but felt no fear and did not turn into a zombie, was undoubtedly the best transfer candidate.

Therefore,

Alex took Natalia away...

Claire and Moira, knowing the truth, decided to go rescue the innocent little girl Natalia, but by the time they arrived, it was already too late.

Alex had already completed the data transfer. After wildly proclaiming her grand plan to Claire and Moira through bulletproof glass, she took a pistol and shot herself in the head, committing suicide!

With Alex's death,

the tower's self-destruct system activated. All areas except the Laboratory would collapse and be destroyed. Claire and Moira were very helpless.

They could only give up on rescuing Natalia and turn to escape. But during their escape, debris from the tower suddenly fell.

Moira, to prevent Claire from being hit by the huge rock, pushed Claire away, but she herself was crushed by the rock and could not break free.

Seeing that she could not be saved, Moira told Claire to jump into the sea and escape first. Claire knew she had no other option at the moment and could only jump into the sea and escape...

Perhaps the distress signal Claire had sent from the signal tower earlier had taken effect. After jumping into the sea, the unconscious Claire was immediately rescued.

And the person who rescued Claire

was Moira's father, Barry. After learning that his daughter Moira had gone missing after attending a TerraSave gathering,

Barry had tracked her down. After receiving Claire's distress signal, he even rescued the unconscious Claire from the sea.

However,

when Claire said that his daughter Moira had not escaped and was even dead, Barry suffered a heavy blow—!

Six months later...

Barry, not believing his daughter Moira was dead, chose to set off for Zabiti Island again. This time, he intended to continue searching for traces of his daughter Moira. He needed to see her alive or her body if she was dead; otherwise, he would not be worthy of being a father.

And just after arriving on the island,

Barry encountered the awakened little girl Natalia. Alex's consciousness data transfer required six months.

Six months later, her personality would awaken in Natalia's body. And now... exactly six months had passed.

Barry was kind-hearted. Upon seeing the little girl Natalia, he took her with him and protected her.

Perhaps it was because he felt guilty about the death of his elder daughter Moira that he bestowed his fatherly love upon this suddenly appearing little girl, Natalia.

However...

Just as Barry continued to explore the island, Alex, who should have completed the data transfer, suddenly ran out and snatched the little girl Natalia from Barry's side.

Alex Wesker was not dead—?

Natalia was also still alive?

What was happening with all of this?

It turned out that when she completed the consciousness transfer, Alex shot herself in the head with a pistol. Before she died, Alex felt fear, a fear of death, even if only for an instant.

But it was there.

Because of this mistake, a small error occurred in the consciousness data transfer. Only eighty percent of the hundred percent consciousness data entered Natalia's mind.

The remaining twenty percent stopped because Alex herself was afraid of death, so she did not completely die. And because she was afraid of death, she was infected by the T-Phobos virus injected into her body, turning Alex into a half-human, half-ghost monster, like an old witch.

Now Alex faced two problems.

The first was that she was not dead, yet the consciousness data transfer had already been completed. This led to the simultaneous birth of two Alexes in this world.

One was the monster Alex, and the other was the unawakened Alex in Natalia's mind.

Now... Alex was lost. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to kill the Alex in Natalia's mind,

that is, the impostor, but she was also afraid that if she killed her, she herself would not be able to achieve immortality, so she was caught in a dilemma.

But if she didn't kill her...

There would be two Alexes in the world, and what troubled Alex the most was that the other Alex, because only eighty percent of her consciousness was transferred, was not a perfect version of herself.

But an impostor.

This was something Alex could not tolerate. So, after transforming into a monster, Alex could not continue to commit suicide, nor could she tolerate the impostor Alex remaining in Natalia's mind.

After much thought,

Alex, who had turned into an ugly witch monster, still decided to strangle Natalia, her impostor self. Barry tried his best to stop her,

but it was futile.

Just as Natalia was about to die, several gunshots rang out. The monster Alex was shot in the head multiple times, and the person who shot and killed her was Barry's elder daughter, Moira. She was not dead—!

After being crushed by the large rock from the tower, Moira thought she was certainly dead, but she never expected that the native old man she had met earlier on the lower floor of the tower would suddenly appear.

And rescued Moira, who was crushed by the rock. The old man had a bad temper, which Moira initially disliked, but after a period of healing and getting along, Moira gradually developed a good relationship with the old man.

Through conversation, she learned that

the old man intended to go to the tower and the mine to search for his missing daughter, Ilna. His daughter Ilna was also a native of the island.

Because of Alex's arrival,

she provided many job opportunities for the island's natives. Many natives on the island went to participate in Alex's mining work. The old man's daughter Ilna also couldn't resist the temptation,

so she secretly went to apply for work, but once she left, there was no news of her; she simply vanished without a trace.

Therefore, the old man decided to go to Alex's tower and mine to search for traces of his daughter Ilna.

After learning about this,

Moira, having recovered from her injuries, decided to help the old man go to the tower and the mine together to search for his daughter Ilna.

But unfortunately,

the old man's daughter Ilna had already been infected with the virus and died, leaving only a suicide note in the mine. The old man, knowing the truth, was heartbroken, and coupled with his illness,

the old man left Moira alone, hid in a locked room in a mine, and waited for death. He had no family left in the world, so living had no meaning, not to mention his condition was not optimistic.

Seeing the old man's intention to die,

Moira's pleas were in vain, and she ultimately had no choice but to give up and search for a way to escape the island alone. And so... she met her father Barry on the way, as well as the little girl Natalia, who was being strangled by the monster Alex.

Without a word, Moira immediately drew her gun and shot, saving the little girl Natalia, who was being strangled.

At this point, father and daughter reunited.

After being tempered by various events, Moira at this moment no longer had any rebellious emotions. Father and daughter looked at each other, and all the accumulated grievances dissipated at this moment...

After several gunshots—

Alex, as a monster, was directly knocked to the ground by Moira. Compared to other biological monsters, Alex was undoubtedly much weaker.

But that was also normal,

after all, Alex's goal from beginning to end was consciousness transfer, and she did not consider combat capabilities...

Father and daughter reunited,

the situation was looking great.

After a period of warm greetings, Moira understood her father Barry's difficulties, and Barry also learned about his daughter Moira's experiences over the past few months.

Immediately, the two took the little girl Natalia with them, preparing to go to the small boat on the island's coast to escape this troublesome place.

However,

the three, having just left, did not notice that the monster Alex, who had just fallen, had recovered.

She was not completely dead,

but seized the opportunity to inject herself with the last of the virus. The monster Alex's body continued to grow even larger; she was prepared to pay any price to kill the little girl Natalia.

After all, the monster Alex now recognized the threat posed by the little girl Natalia.
