In reality, he had only dispatched two of his subordinates.
Those were his right-hand assistants, Maria Gomez and Diego Gomez. One was a tall, blonde, Curvy-haired mature beauty, and the other was a bald, giant brute who had been modified into a Tyrant form, wearing an iron mask on his face.
The two were actually father and daughter.
They were dirty Arms Dealers themselves. Because they were good friends with Glenn Arias, they attended his wedding as guests.
They never expected to be so unlucky as to be bombed by a US Government drone. Maria, the tall beauty, didn't die.
But her father was on the verge of death.
In the end, it was the villain Glenn who kept the dying father alive, barely surviving only after being transformed into a Tyrant monster.
To repay Glenn and take revenge on the US Government, Maria, this stunning beauty, was willing to work under Glenn.
Additionally, it's worth mentioning,
Maria did not die in the vendetta storyline.
Instead, she took her father's iron mask and escaped back to Arias's base, later appearing in the Death Island movie.
She helped the villain Dylan infect the world with the virus via mosquitoes. One has to say, vendetta and Death Island must have had the same screenwriter.
Although the quality of the 3D animation is good,
and even featured the dual protagonists Leon and Chris teaming up,
as well as later grand scenes of multiple protagonists joining forces, it's a pity the plot was truly terrible, far less enjoyable than the Damnation movie.
Clang—!
At this very moment,
the ventilation duct inside the lab had been pried open, and the iron grate was tossed carelessly to the side.
The situation inside the entire Institute was eerily quiet.
Sissy Becky, busy heading to the lab, hadn't realized what was happening yet. However, as he passed by the pried-open ventilation duct,
he stopped in confusion.
He didn't understand when the ventilation grate here would have been poked open on its own. Could a rat have crawled in?
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!!!!
However,
in the next second,
before Sissy Becky could react to what was going on, from the position of the pried-open ventilation duct,
a cloud of yellowish-green gas suddenly began to billow out, lunging straight toward Sissy Becky's face.
Seeing this, Becky quickly covered his mouth and retreated with trembling legs.
He practically crawled and scrambled back, running straight toward Rebecca's office, intending to explain the situation in the Institute to her.
Ahhh... cough, cough, cough...!!!!
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
ugh...
Sissy Becky fled quickly, but the other staff members in the Institute were not so lucky.
With the influx of the yellowish-green toxic gas, a large number of researchers were affected.
They suddenly clutched their throats and collapsed one after another, veins bulging on their foreheads, eyes bloodshot, letting out constant whimpers.
Most of them had drunk the virus-laden mineral water sold by Glenn's mineral water company, and even the tap water lakes near New York had been dumped with the first strain.
So, when stimulated by the trigger of the second strain, these people were instantly activated like some kind of berserk system.
In an instant, they were immediately infected and turned into zombies.
Their eyes were dull and rolled back, their pupils blood-red, their gums bleeding, and they were filled with a bloodthirsty craving for surrounding living beings.
The only difference was that their skin showed no signs of ulceration.
One of the biggest differences between the animality virus and the T-Virus is that it possesses healing properties. Although they have been infected and turned into zombies, the initial infection is not that severe.
They would only go initially mad, as if they had contracted rabies.
They have the instinct to bite, but their physical skin hasn't changed much. As long as they receive an injection of the vaccine antidote at this moment, they can immediately return to normal.
However, as mentioned before, if the infection is too severe, even with the antidote and vaccine, it's impossible to return to normal; they might even become the living dead.
Some zombies are already severely infected, having eaten flesh, with ulcerated skin, or even accidentally breaking their bones during an attack.
They certainly feel nothing while in the zombie state.
But once they recover, only death awaits them. Therefore, the vaccine antidote actually has significant flaws; it must be deployed and spread quickly.
Beep, beep, beep—!!!!
With the invasion of the yellowish-green toxic gas, the entire Institute fell into chaos. Alarms blared, and a large number of staff members struggled desperately to run outside.
But before they could reach the door, they collapsed one after another.
The guards and security personnel stationed outside had also been dealt with in advance. So now, the entire bio-experimental Institute was practically helpless, with no one to turn to.
It was impossible to get help; they would likely have to wait until tomorrow when the US Government and the BSAA came to collect the vaccine antidote.
And before long, the staff members who had originally collapsed in the Institute now stood up one after another.
But their faces were now completely devoid of color, their heads hanging low, just like the drug-addicted zombies in Philadelphia.
Each stood in place with a stiff posture. At this moment, if there were any living beings around, they would rush forward to bite.
Click, click, click...!!!
However, at this moment, the sound of crisp high-heeled footsteps suddenly echoed on the polished floor of the Institute.
As the clouds of yellowish-green toxic gas dispersed, an exquisite and haughty face suddenly emerged. A head of eye-covering blonde Curvy hair draped casually behind her back.
The bangs in front of her forehead covered half her face, while the other half revealed a captivating jewel-red eye.
She was very beautiful, with a tear mole at the corner of her eye, a fair oval face, and flaming red lips. There was no doubt she was a total beauty.
And her attire was even more extravagant.
On her curvaceous body, she wore a deep-V high-collared black leather tight-fitting combat suit.
It was comparable to those of female investigators, with a glimpse of snowy white skin at her chest. She was tall, sexy, and seductive, lacking only a whip in her hand to become a queen.
The newcomer was none other than Glenn's right-hand assistant, Maria Gomez.
As a villainous "Red Rose," her looks were undoubtedly top-tier. However, why was she not infected and turned into a zombie while standing in the middle of the yellowish-green toxic gas?
The reason was quite simple.
That is, Maria had already undergone modification with the bio-virus.
The animality virus, also known as the A-Virus, has three strains in total. The first is the latent strain, and the second is the trigger strain.
The third is the inactive strain. Neither of the first two strains will turn someone into a zombie if infected individually, except for the occasional person with a weak constitution.
Only when both strains come into contact will they be violently activated to turn someone into a zombie. The third strain is the antidote; once injected,
it can eliminate the virus and restore the person to normal. At the same time, it prevents zombies from attacking people with this strain, thus allowing for differentiation.
As for Maria, she was someone who had been injected with all three strains. She had undergone modification with the animality virus, but she wasn't disfigured like her father.
After all, her father had been very seriously injured.
Therefore, Maria still retained her human form. The virus gave her excellent physical fitness, and the implantation of the third strain
also allowed her to come and go freely among the zombie horde without being attacked.
She wouldn't suffer a secondary infection either, and this was the true reason Maria could stand safely inside the Institute.
"Infiltration successful..."
"Next is to find that little girl."
Looking at the Institute, which had already been infected by the toxic gas, Maria muttered to herself. She was also holding a photo in her hand.
On it was naturally a photo of Rebecca, the owner of this Institute. Therefore, Maria's task was simple.
Besides destroying the Institute, the most important thing was to capture Dr. Rebecca. Only then could they prevent the US Government from countering their animality virus.
As for why she was to be captured, rather than killed, the reason was also simple. When Maria attended Glenn's wedding, she had seen his wife, Sarah.
She looked almost identical to the little girl in the photo, a ninety percent likeness. So, without even thinking, Maria understood what that guy Glenn wanted to do.
But it didn't matter.
They had the virus and could completely use it to brainwash Rebecca, this doctor of biology. Moreover, Maria didn't think Glenn was the type of guy who would let his lower half control his upper half.
As a bio-weapon Arms Dealer,
Glenn was a ruthless guy who wouldn't be swayed by emotions. That's why Maria agreed to the trouble of capturing Rebecca instead of killing her directly.
...
Meanwhile,
inside the office—
Bang, bang, bang—!!!!
Without any hesitation,
Sissy Becky, who had just escaped with his life, pounded desperately on the office door. Finding it wasn't locked, he quickly pushed the door open and scrambled inside.
With a look of panic on his face, he ran in terror before Rebecca and Javier, hurriedly explaining incoherently:
"Re... Rebecca, something terrible has happened!"
"Some... someone has broken into the Institute and released toxic gas in the ventilation ducts. They're likely coming for us. We need to escape now!"
Pointing outside the office door, Sissy Becky explained with an anxious tone.
Of course...
Rebecca and Javier didn't need Becky's explanation to know that something big had happened.
Because the Institute's alarm had already sounded long ago. They just hadn't expected someone to release toxic gas into the Institute.
And at this moment,
Javier finally realized what was going on.
He had fallen into the plot. He thought nothing major was left, but he had forgotten there was still a vendetta movie segment at this point.
Because Rebecca had developed the vaccine antidote, the villain was currently planning to kidnap her!
Fortunately, the effect of this new A-Virus wasn't strong; at most, it was a derivative of the T-Virus.
It wasn't as terrifying as the C-Virus. Therefore, the infected zombies were also of a very weak level, and most B.O.W.s were conventional T-Virus types.
The strongest was only a Tyrant.
For Javier, who had already experienced two world-ending scenarios, this level of difficulty was no different from a daily routine.
