"I haven't even made a move yet! What do you think you're doing?!"
Just now, Alexia had wanted to see that bastard Javier suffer a bit more—after all, how dare he try to snatch Lisa away from her?
However, Alexia certainly wouldn't just let Javier die. If Javier actually died, a maddened Lisa would likely slaughter everyone on the ship,
including herself.
So, at the critical moment, Alexia had to intervene.
She was like a helpless maid or bodyguard, worried about her young lady being led astray by a bad man, yet afraid that if the bad man died, her young lady would be furious.
"..."
"That's why I say you people are truly annoying. Can't you all just hurry up and die? You just have to keep popping up at critical moments."
Gazing at the blazing wall of fire before him,
Wesker took a deep breath to calm his nerves. Finally, he turned his target of attack toward Alexia. Spinning the tactical knife in his hand, he murmured with a tone of great dissatisfaction.
As a major antagonist, Wesker
had begun to gradually feel the terrifying nature of the protagonist aura. Whenever he was about to kill a protagonist, they would always be inexplicably saved, no matter how lethal his strike was.
Hidden cards to protect them would emerge one after another, leaving Wesker very frustrated. But as the saying goes,'soldiers to block, water to cover with earth'—he didn't believe he couldn't kill every single one of them today.
"Cough, cough..."
"Fortunately, the virus's recovery ability is strong; otherwise, I really would have been scrapped just now."
On the other side,
Javier, who had been kicked several meters away, slowly climbed up from the ground. The arm that had been kicked and broken was now returning to normal under the healing power of the virus.
Feeling his internal organs churning and his head spinning, Javier couldn't help but marvel at Wesker's strength.
At the same time, he rejoiced in his wise decision to fuse with the virus. Relying on a human body... it was basically impossible to defeat these monsters. You had to use magic to defeat magic!
"However,"
"I really didn't expect that I would have to use this thing..."
After slowly climbing up from the ground, Javier looked at Alexia, who was already engaging Wesker in the distance, and felt exceptionally helpless.
He could only take out two injectors from his storage space—one was blood-red, and the other was pure white!
Of the two injectors before him, one contained Lisa's blood, which could help strengthen the viral power within Javier's body.
At the same time, it could rapidly restore his stamina. Simply put... these were infinite health and mana potions. As long as he took the medicine fast enough, he wouldn't die.
As for the other one,
it was the PG67 Balance Serum from before. This thing could cause chaos within the progenitor virus in Wesker's body,
greatly weakening Wesker's power.
He had thought he wouldn't need to use it, but he hadn't expected that to finish off Wesker, he would still have to rely on this PG67 serum!
Bang...!
Boom—!!!
Coincidentally, at this moment,
Chris, Jill, and the others had already destroyed the b2 bomber, that vital transport tool. Pulling out several grenades, Chris aimed for the b2 bomber's engine and tossed them inside.
Accompanied by a series of intense explosions, the tail of the b2 bomber was instantly blown to pieces, and the engine was wrecked. Now, there was no way it could take off.
However,
after destroying the b2 bomber, they still had one thing they had to face: the fact that Wesker hadn't been dealt with yet.
The b2 bomber was destroyed,
and the ouroboros virus couldn't be deployed. This only solved their immediate crisis, but Wesker, that major threat, had not yet been eliminated. This was something they had to confront.
Sizzle...!
Boom—!!!
Facing Wesker as he gradually approached her, Alexia did not hesitate. With a violent swing of her slender arm, a mass of scorching, blood-red flames rapidly surged forth,
continuously burning toward Wesker's direction. This scene was very similar to the one at the Antarctic Research Institute.
Back then, Wesker had been helpless against these scorching flames and could only flee in panic. But today was different from the past; he now had the power to fight back!
"Outdated moves. Do you think these flames can still touch my body?"
Looking at the sluggish, blood-red flames attacking him, Wesker's face wore an expression of contempt and disdain.
This move was no longer of any use against him.
With his current speed, the spreading blood-red flames couldn't possibly touch even a corner of his clothes.
Bang... Whoosh—!!!
Holding that sharp tactical knife,
Wesker didn't retreat but instead advanced, charging into the spreading wall of blood-red flames. With a slight tap of his toes, his entire body erupted once again with lightning-fast speed.
He turned into a series of afterimages and rushed out instantly.
The whistling sound of wind and thunder seemed to echo in his ears. With a few flashes, he quickly traversed the rolling, scorching wall of fire,
arriving in front of Alexia in an instant as if passing through an empty field.
The black scales and the tight T-shirt on his body hadn't caught a single spark, which was enough to highlight Wesker's terror.
Swoosh—!
Looking at Alexia close at hand,
the former prodigy of the Umbrella Corporation, Wesker's face showed a hint of disdain. So what if she was exceptionally talented? So what if she had developed the T-Veronica Virus? Now she was still being trampled under his feet all the same.
Therefore, without any hesitation,
Wesker immediately swung the sharp tactical knife in his hand. This was the first time he had used a weapon.
After all, after gaining the extraordinary power of the progenitor virus, Wesker had rarely carried weapons, and he had never used weapons like assault rifles.
At most, he carried a pistol and a knife, but even then, Wesker rarely used them. For enemies he could solve with his fists,
Wesker would never use a weapon, because only then could he feel the superiority of his extraordinary power. He disdained using weapons.
But now,
Wesker felt that using a knife would allow him to better torment this pretentious, stupid woman, Alexia.
After all... nothing could be more humiliating than slashing a woman's face with a knife!
Slash—!!!
Tear...
A flash of white light appeared,
and Alexia didn't have time to react at all before the sharp tactical knife immediately carved a deep gash into her face.
The gash was diagonal,
slashing from Alexia's forehead to the other side of her cheek. It instantly became bloodied. Even though Alexia's skin was hard and rough, it still couldn't withstand Wesker's sudden knife strike.
The blood flowing down ignited upon contact with the air, immediately giving rise to a flame.
Although this kind of attack was useless against Alexia, the sense of humiliation was overwhelming. Alexia could not tolerate that Wesker actually dared to humiliate her like this.
"You're courting death...!"
With an angry curse,
Alexia swung her right hand violently.
That wrinkled, withered-wood-like arm immediately turned into a mass of intertwined vine tentacles that shot out, splitting into seven or eight vine branches to grab Wesker's form fiercely.
But unfortunately,
Wesker's speed was too fast.
A man who could easily use moonwalk afterimages to dodge Gatling gun fire on the spot naturally couldn't be caught by this kind of attack.
The shooting vines passed right through Wesker's body just as they were about to touch him. That was clearly not Wesker's true body, but merely an afterimage.
"I told you, you're too slow, Alexia."
"The T-Veronica Virus is outdated. Even if you are the most perfect T-Veronica Virus host, it's useless. I've already mastered your power; you can't cause me any more harm."
"I admit your plan was quite good. Your strength is indeed enough to stall me. But now, I no longer care about the b2 bomber or the deployment of the ouroboros virus. Instead, I harbor an absolute killing intent toward you all. In that case, what can you possibly do?"
His dark sunglasses stared quietly at Alexia as Wesker spoke word by word.
Alexia and Wesker's powers were roughly on par. Alexia's speed was too slow to hit Wesker,
while Wesker also had no way to deal with Alexia. There was no problem with the two of them stalling each other, but wanting to kill the other was simply impossible. This was also why Wesker felt completely secure.
Swoosh—!!!
Slash... Slash...!!!
While he was speaking,
the tactical knife in Wesker's hand did not stop. He continued to stab fiercely at Alexia's face, one strike after another.
Alexia's face was stabbed nearly a hundred times, with wounds constantly appearing and healing.
Until the wear and tear on the tactical knife reached its limit and the entire blade snapped, Wesker finally threw the tactical knife away with a look of regret.
He had wanted to continue humiliating this proud prodigy Alexia, but since the knife's durability was gone, he could only end it like this.
Having just stabbed Alexia's face hundreds of times, the feeling was quite good. Wesker was satisfied; he had finally taken revenge on this haughty and foul-mouthed woman!
However,
this also provoked Alexia's anger to the extreme. Facing Wesker, who kept humiliating her, Alexia directly erupted with her full power, and blood began to seep out from her body.
A raging fire immediately ignited around her, enveloping her body. At this moment, Alexia looked like a person made of fire.
If Wesker even tried to get close to her, he would be burned by the scorching flames. She was equivalent to a turtle shell with thorns armor.
She was very difficult to deal with.
At the same time, this was the real reason why it was said Wesker could do nothing to Alexia.
After all, with these red flames burning all over her, Wesker really had no way to touch her and could only let Alexia run wild nearby.
But,
not being able to move against Alexia didn't mean Wesker couldn't move against others. Since Alexia had already put on her flaming turtle shell,
Wesker gave up on trying to kill this porcupine and instead turned his gaze back to Javier, who had just stood up nearby.
"Since you've trapped yourself in your own cocoon and cowardly hidden your head between your legs, then I'll take care of this fellow instead!"
Looking at Alexia, who was burning with raging flames, Wesker mocked her contemptuously.
Without any hesitation,
he immediately turned and shot toward Javier's direction once again. He wanted to see today just how these people would struggle.
Step, step, step—!!!
With just a few simple steps,
Wesker's ghost-like speed immediately surged, easily and without hindrance arriving in front of Javier once again.
Wesker felt it was a pity he didn't have his knife, but he still opened his palm, intending to crush Javier's head with his fingers.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang—!!!!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang—!!!!
"Wesker, your opponent is here...!"
A familiar scene appeared once again.
The moment Wesker intended to make his move, a burst of shouting immediately came from behind him. It was the angry curses of Chris, Jill, and the others.
Immediately following was the sound of frantic gunfire. Bullets whistled out, a dense hail of bullets continuously flying toward Wesker's direction.
