But now, it seems her T-Veronica Virus has become the bane of the ouroboros virus, which Alexia herself finds incredibly amusing.
Sure enough, idiots are just idiots; they can't compare to a genius like her, and the viruses they research are also inferior products—!
"..."
"Chris, who exactly are these three people?!"
On the other side, Sheva, seeing Alexia display her power for the first time, stared wide-eyed at everything before her. Was she hallucinating?
A woman controlling scorching blood-red flames to burn ouroboros virus monsters, and the flames were so hot they easily annihilated the monster that wiped out Alpha Team. Is this even human…?
"This…"
"As Jill said before, they are special operations personnel specifically for eliminating bio-viruses, not mere researchers."
"You can understand it as… they are Infected who coincidentally gained superpowers from viruses, and the flames just now… are also powers obtained through viruses. Therefore, they are neither superheroes nor monsters."
Hearing Sheva's questioning words, Chris, at this moment, was also very awkward. He could only continue to make things up, following Jill's previous nonsense. In short, he just needed to explain that Javier and the others were superhumans who gained power from viruses.
However, no matter how this is explained, it will ultimately lead to great trouble, because if the BSAA learns that viruses can grant humans superhuman-like abilities, then eliminating bio-viruses will no longer be an absolute thing.
Instead, it might even evolve into a rare opportunity for human secondary evolution, not to be casually eliminated. Then, countless Umbrella Corporations would constantly emerge worldwide, then, under the banner of justice, they would research bio-viruses. This is what Chris least wants to see.
After all, in Chris's view… viruses, by their very nature, should not exist. Humans do not need such things to evolve themselves.
But the unknown and mysterious always attract people, and this is an unavoidable trend!
"..."
"Is that so…"
On the other side, after hearing Chris's explanation, Sheva gradually fell silent. She seemed to understand the meaning behind Chris's words. If it was truly as Chris speculated, then what was the purpose of the BSAA's existence? Was it to eliminate bio-viruses, or to control bio-viruses? The difference between the two is vast, not as simple as a single thought…
With the complete death of the ouroboros virus monster, the danger in the trade warehouse was completely lifted.
Chris found the armored vehicle Alpha Team had driven in earlier and transmitted the PDA data to headquarters.
Upon receiving the data, the BSAA headquarters in West Africa immediately issued a new order to Chris and the others: continue to capture Black Market Dealer Ervin.
According to intelligence, Black Market Dealer Ervin's residence is located in the mining area behind the town. That area is Tricell's property, and in addition to the mine, there is also an oil field, which is within Black Market Dealer Ervin's jurisdiction.
It is very likely that the experiments for Bio-weapons like the ouroboros virus and the Plaga parasite are set up there, just hidden.
Therefore, no matter what, Chris and the others must destroy these bio-virus research bases and capture the culprit, Black Market Dealer Ervin—!
Chris and Javier and the others, having received the order, did not linger.
They planned to drive the armored vehicle out of this crisis-ridden town. After all, the death of a mere ouroboros virus monster did not mean the town was completely safe.
You know… Javier had previously guessed that at least ninety percent of the population in this cursed place had been Infected by the Plaga parasite and turned into Majini monsters, so at this moment, they were still facing an encirclement of hundreds, if not thousands, of people.
"Vroom…"
"Boom boom boom—!!!"
The key inserted, Chris started the Humvee armored vehicle's engine. Inside the warehouse, there was a Humvee armored vehicle and a regular Jeep off-road vehicle parked.
Chris and Javier split into two groups.
Chris, Jill, and Sheva were in one group, riding the Humvee armored vehicle, while Javier and his two companions rode the Jeep off-road vehicle. This perfectly distributed the numbers, avoiding overcrowding.
However, Chris and Javier's two teams still underestimated the pursuit speed of the Majini monsters within the town. They had just started the vehicles' engines,
When they were about to rush out of the trade warehouse, the low growls of Majini monsters were already heard from outside. Soon after, a group of "hospitable" West African civilians slowly surged into the trade warehouse.
And the variety was a bit beyond Javier's imagination; some Majini monsters had even completed their Exploding Bug state.
Their heads were like a scythe made of carapace, wildly swinging. This Exploding Bug form of Majini is called a Cephalo. It corresponds to the initial tentacle-scythe Exploding Bug monster from the Spain scenario, except the Cephalo in front of them had more carapace, making them even harder. Behind them were many Batwing Insects, corresponding to Spain's Invisible Bugs, Duwalas… another form of Majini Exploding Bug, where their bodies spread open like a carnivorous plant, with only their lower half retaining human form, and also Giant Majini, Executioner Majini, Chainsaw Majini—all sorts of Majini monsters almost came out in full force…
The number of monsters was immense, almost surrounding the entire trade warehouse, especially the Batwing Insects and the Executioner Majini, which were the most troublesome ones.
One could fly in the air, and its speed was faster than their vehicles, making it very difficult to shake off. As for the other, the Executioner Majini,
Although there were only two of them, their configuration was comparable to a Tyrant. With their gigantic size and immense strength, if they were accidentally hit by an axe, both the armored vehicle Chris and the others were riding and Javier and the others' off-road Jeep would turn into a pile of scrap metal.
So this thing was also a large AOE monster.
The enemy had almost come out in full force. Staying here would be very difficult to defend unless Alexia and Lisa could help, so Javier and Chris both chose to break through without hesitation.
"Jill, you go operate the heavy machine gun on top of the armored vehicle to clear the way. Shoot down all the Majini monsters blocking the armored vehicle's path."
"Make a clear path for them. If we just run them over, the armored vehicle's chassis is very low, and it might get stuck."
"Sheva, look for any heavy weapons in the back seat to help Jill clear the path. Rifles and grenades are also fine. Javier… use my armored vehicle to lead the way. Follow closely behind me; don't get separated!"
At this moment, the more dangerous the situation, the calmer Chris became. After a brief thought, he immediately arranged the breakthrough plan. He rolled down the window and loudly spoke to Javier and the others in the off-road Jeep beside him.
"Vroom…"
"Boom boom boom—!!!"
And the next second, without any hesitation, Chris slammed the accelerator. The engine roared, black smoke billowed, and the front tires spun wildly.
Like a wild horse unleashed, under Chris's control, this armored off-road vehicle suddenly surged forward, completely disregarding the Majini monsters blocking its path, hitting and killing every one it encountered!
"Click…"
"Dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka—!!!!"
At this moment, Jill, the gunner on the roof, immediately took her position. This armored off-road vehicle was equipped with a 12.7mm M2 Heavy Machine Gun.
Another familiar old face of American military weapons.
Although this thing was a World War II weapon, due to its reliable performance and decent power, it is still in service today and was a leader among heavy machine guns at the time.
Pulling the bolt and quickly pulling the trigger, Jill, holding the M2 Heavy Machine Gun's grip, immediately began her fire-clearing mode. A heavy recoil hit, and a fierce white smoke and fire suddenly erupted from the long, dark barrel. Thick bullets instantly poured out like a torrential rain.
Each bullet was as big as a thumb and could easily shatter mountains and rocks. When they hit these Majini monsters, their terrifying lethality immediately became apparent.
When a bullet hit a Majini monster's head, the entire head's flesh immediately vanished, as if it had turned into countless scattered pieces of meat. When it hit the chest or arm, a fist-sized hole appeared out of nowhere, as if it had been gnawed away. This was the true power of a 12.7mm heavy machine gun: touch it and die, graze it and be injured!
"..."
"Splat… Splat… Splat—!!!!"
A series of sounds of flesh being instantly pierced surged forth. Each Majini monster, in front of the M2 Heavy Machine Gun, was like straw being harvested… no, even a shredder. A light touch turned them into countless pieces of meat. Therefore, in front of the armored off-road vehicle driven by Chris, a clear path was immediately cleared.
The threatening Executioner Majini behind them wanted to pursue but was powerless. After all, although it was massive, its movement speed was quite slow, and it simply couldn't catch up to the speeding armored off-road vehicle. Seeing Chris and Jill's cooperation successfully carve out a bloody path, Javier also did not hesitate and immediately drove the off-road Jeep to follow.
Javier, who once had the riding skill buff, was actually better at driving than Chris. He could even be called a god of driving, so if Chris couldn't successfully clear the way, Javier could still break out of the encirclement with his superb driving skills, but now… Javier was happy to take the easier route!
"Vroom…"
"Boom boom boom—!!!"
Just like that, the two vehicles, one in front and one behind, successively broke out of the Majini monsters' encirclement. Enjoying the speed and thrill, they quickly sped towards the outskirts of the town, intending to escape this cursed place in one go.
However, Javier and Chris still slightly underestimated the troublesome nature of these Majini monsters. After all, besides some walking Majini monsters, there were also Batwing Insects flying in the sky.
There were about six or seven of them, following closely, hovering in the air and overlooking the armored off-road vehicles driven by Javier and Chris. They didn't attack, nor did they give up the chase.
This familiar scene immediately reminded Javier of the American police department's special pursuit method. Once a crime with three stars or more was triggered, the police department would immediately dispatch helicopters to pursue, and the helicopters would act as a giant camera, tracking your location from every angle at all times.
Even if you drove around the city, you would eventually be caught by police cars, and the key to this was the helicopter constantly reporting your location in the sky.
And now, these Batwing Insects… seemed to be serving a similar important role as helicopters, specifically used to track Javier and the others' location, while continuously reporting location information to other Majini monsters, gathering a large number of Majini monsters to chase them.
This made Javier sigh, marveling at how fast these Plaga parasites evolved. Had they even learned this kind of cooperation?
At the same time, this also meant that as long as these Batwing Insects were not dead, the surrounding Majini monsters would not give up their pursuit. They would relentlessly track Javier and the others, because with the Batwing Insects above constantly reporting their location, they would be found no matter where they fled—!
