This made Chris and Sheva, who were standing by, very awkward. What are you, an outsider, pointing fingers for?
"Wait…"
"Javier, what does this mean?"
"Ms. Jill, please put down your gun first. Before the matter is fully confirmed, you cannot casually shoot innocent civilians. Otherwise, the BSAA in the West Africa region will suffer extreme reputational damage."
Upon hearing Javier's words,
Chris and Sheva, who were beside him, quickly spoke up to stop her, as they both couldn't believe that the West African in front of them would mutate so quickly.
Especially Sheva, a native of West Africa,
she didn't want Jill to casually shoot black people on her land, unless they were truly Infected into monsters.
After all, if they really made a mistaken kill, then their BSAA in the West Africa region would be no different from a so-called terrorist organization.
Two voices appeared in the team,
and naturally, a divergence arose.
The BSAA's good-guy behavior and the various codes of conduct it established were also what Javier disliked the most.
Rules can indeed make an organization disciplined, but sometimes overly cumbersome codes of conduct are also the culprits that kill many BSAA members.
Therefore, Javier did not participate in the creation of the BSAA with Chris and others, which was one of the main reasons; he preferred freedom and the free operation mode of mercenaries.
And facing the argument,
the West African, who was lowering his head, quickly proved whose words were correct. He began to tremble wildly under everyone's gaze,
as exaggerated as if he had epilepsy.
Then, in the next second, his neck twisted, and with a "crack," as if his entire spine had snapped, the West African's head suddenly tilted back, exposing his terrifying face to everyone.
"Uh…"
"Ho ho ho…"
The West African opened his mouth, his eyes wide like copper bells, his pupils dilated, and blood immediately filled his entire eyeballs, flowing out from the sides.
This person is a descendant of Uchiha who was left outside.
He had just awakened his power and activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, showing extraordinary potential. Looking at such a horrifying and terrifying face,
everyone took a slight step back. Jill even swallowed, thinking, "Could Javier really have been right?"
Although Jill believed Javier, there was still a slight hint of doubt, but after seeing the scene before her,
all previous doubts vanished.
There was no escaping it; this guy was really going to be Infected and mutate into a monster, but this method of infection didn't seem to be a viral infection, but rather another type of Plaga parasite infection?
Jill's mind was in turmoil.
Chris and Sheva, who were beside her, also looked at the scene in disbelief, subconsciously reaching for the pistols at their waists.
This was truly not Chris and Sheva being unintelligent,
but rather that the scene before them was not a conventional viral zombie infection, but another type of Plaga parasite infection, which led to their misjudgment.
After all, based on previous situations,
even if bitten, it would take several minutes for the virus to circulate and infect the entire body before mutating into a zombie, but the current situation… the speed of infection and mutation seems a bit too fast?!
"Ho ho ho…"
"Roar roar roar —!!!!"
The next second,
just as Javier had predicted,
the West African suddenly surged, opening his mouth and roaring wildly. The most terrifying part was his mouth, which split directly into four lobes.
Sharp fangs grew from inside, saliva and mucus splattered everywhere, just like the mouth of a carnivorous plant, with blood-red circular serrations and hideous small tentacles in the middle.
If bitten by this,
it's estimated that all the flesh on one's body could be stripped off. The Infected West African stretched out his hands and immediately lunged towards Chris and Sheva, who were at the very front.
Facing such a terrifying scene,
Alexia and Lisa, who were following behind Javier, appeared very calm. They were simply there to hold the line.
They wouldn't even glance at the small fry in front of them, showing no interest at all, thus appearing very calm.
Unless Wesker appeared,
it would be difficult to pique their interest. Of course… if Javier actively ordered them, Alexia and Lisa could still reluctantly obey.
"Click!"
"Bang bang bang… bang bang bang bang bang bang —!!!!"
However, at this moment,
Jill decisively opened fire, unleashing a barrage of Beretta silver pistol bullets without the slightest pause.
Fifteen rounds of bullets, leaving only one, were all expended, hitting the head of the mutated monster in front of them.
The remaining human head was almost riddled with holes, hanging from the neck like a sieve, and the West African, who was attempting to lunge, collapsed to the ground, his body still twitching wildly.
"Pfft…!!!"
However,
something even more unbelievable happened to Jill and Chris: the West African, whose head had been blown off, not only didn't die completely, but his head even exploded like watermelon juice.
Blood and brain matter splattered all over the ground.
And from his neck, a hideous Plaga parasite tentacle shot out, wielding sharp blades. Without eyes, they frantically tried to hook onto a nearby unlucky person to re-parasitize.
This situation,
was exactly like the Plaga parasite in Wolfs Valley, Spain, except that compared to the Plaga parasite in Spain, the West African Plaga parasite in front of them was undoubtedly more resilient and harder.
It took a full fourteen bullets to reveal its true form, which was quite tough.
The Plaga parasite in Spain would usually burst into Exploding Bugs after two or three headshots, but now… it can only be said that the difficulty of the dungeon has indeed increased by more than a little.
"How is that possible?"
"What exactly is going on…?!",
Looking at the headless West African whose head had exploded, a Plaga parasite tentacle had regrown, and was even slowly getting up from the ground, Jill and Chris and the others were in disbelief. This was the first time they had seen such a situation.
"Bang ——————!!!!"
"Pfft…"
At this moment,
Javier was too lazy to continue stalling. He decisively took out the Blue Light Ultraviolet Bullet pistol, which he had previously asked Luis to modify, from his storage space.
He loaded a Ultraviolet Bullet into the silver pistol, aimed at the Exploding Bug corpse in front of him, and quickly pulled the trigger. A blue ultraviolet light flashed, quickly hitting the corpse.
"Uh… Ho ho ho…"
"Pfft —!!!"
The moment it was hit,
a blue ultraviolet light suddenly flashed within the Exploding Bug's corpse. Soon, the Plaga parasite hidden within it seemed to have encountered a terrifying natural enemy,
without any ability to struggle,
in the blink of an eye, it deflated and burst open like a balloon pricked by a needle. The Plaga parasite tentacle on its neck also turned into a pool of yellow, foul-smelling pus, splattering on the ground.
A troublesome Plaga parasite was thus easily dealt with. Javier was very satisfied with the Blue Light Ultraviolet Bullet pistol modified by Luis; it was indeed a weapon specifically designed to counter the Plaga parasite—!
It's likely that the Werewolf clan themselves never imagined
that this type of Blue Light Ultraviolet Bullet pistol, besides being used against Vampires, could also be used against these monster-like Plaga parasites.
"This is why I asked you earlier if you had any special weapons…"
"The group of thugs just now shoved adult Plaga parasites into his mouth, which can quickly parasitize and infect the human body. You, the BSAA, already know about the Plaga parasite in Spain, right?"
"This is one of them, but it's a modified type. Previous Plaga parasites required injecting eggs into the human body, taking several days or even a week to slowly hatch before fully infecting. But to speed up the process, this Plaga parasite can be cultivated to adulthood and then inserted into a person's body."
"The infection effect is the same; the only drawback is that the parasitized host immediately loses consciousness, with no possibility of salvation, essentially becoming a puppet."
"And some special Plaga parasites can even act as reproductive bodies, re-cultivating new adult Plaga parasites within the body. After catching a living person,"
"they can then transfer the bred adult Plaga parasites from their stomach into a new host's body, thereby completing reproduction and parasitism, and expanding their population, just like what happened just now."
"Therefore, I suspect that over ninety percent of the residents in this town have already been Infected and parasitized by this modified Plaga parasite."
"They will mechanically carry out their daily tasks according to instructions. If Leon reported the Plaga parasite intelligence from Spain to your BSAA, you should understand that what I am saying is correct, Chris…"
Without any hesitation,
after shooting the West African, Javier directly turned to Chris and Sheva and began to explain.
Now it was time to get a little serious; there could be no more negligence, because the enemies they were about to face were not just Black Market Dealer Ervin, but the entire town's residents.
Because all of them could be so-called Plaga parasite Infected. From the very beginning… mass slaughter was the only option.
Javier wanted to use this to remind Chris and Sheva that this mission was not as easy and simple as they imagined.
"…"
"Plaga parasite…"
After thinking for a moment, Chris and Sheva indeed remembered this matter. Leon had not reported this to them.
After all, Leon's identity was a US Government agent,
and had no relation to the BSAA, but the BSAA, which specializes in dealing with Bio-weapons, could not possibly be unaware of such things.
Roughly a few years ago,
after the Plaga parasite was completely unearthed in Spain, it quickly ascended to the world stage. Upon learning of the powerful parasitic abilities of this monster,
various countries began to conduct research,
but hatching it from fossils was a very difficult technology. Yet, even so, it did not hinder the research of the Plaga parasite.
At the same time, related Bio-weapons also began to be deployed on the battlefield. Members of the BSAA had clashed with them multiple times.
But for Chris to truly confront it, this was the first time, so facing Javier's explanation, Chris was also very surprised.
At the same time,
what shocked Chris even more was its terrifying parasitic nature. If it was truly as Javier said,
that over ninety percent of the residents of this town were Infected and parasitized, then the number of enemies they would have to face… would truly be terrifying and exaggerated.
"Over ninety percent of the residents…"
From beginning to end,
Chris and Sheva were still mumbling these astonishing words.
It seemed that even now, the two of them still couldn't accept this fact. Chris was very reluctant to believe that the residents of this town were beyond saving.
After all, these were hundreds of living lives.
It was impossible not to feel heartbroken. They were here to save people, but knowing that many had already died first, anyone would feel great pain.
"Alright, although I also sympathize with the innocent civilians in this town, our mission is to capture Black Market Dealer Ervin. Only by capturing him can we stop this tragedy from continuing to happen."
"Therefore, let's first head to the square to stop Black Market Dealer Ervin's Bio-weapon transaction. If he continues to sell more Bio-weapons, then such tragedies will continue to occur!"
And at this moment, the first one to step forward was Jill.
Looking at Chris and Sheva, Jill first comforted them for a while, then immediately began to remind them of the mission and purpose they were currently executing.
As members of the BSAA, executing the capture mission was their primary task, not mourning the deceased.
"I understand."
