However, with a giant bio-monster accompanying the other party and the fact that she could control zombies, Rebecca felt that the situation was indeed very dangerous.
Therefore, she was considering whether or not to hand over the vaccine antidote in her hand to the woman in front of her. After all, for Rebecca,
the physical vaccine antidote wasn't actually that important.
The formula data was already deeply etched into her brain. As long as she had enough materials,
she could immediately manufacture a new vaccine antidote. As for Rebecca herself following this woman, that was absolutely impossible!
"..."
"If your goal is only the vaccine antidote, I can give it to you, including the data inside. But it's absolutely impossible for me to leave with you!"
"Furthermore, you will definitely face retribution. You've created bio-viruses and infected so many innocent people; it's simply heartless. What did those innocent people ever do to provoke you and deserve such a catastrophe?!"
Looking at the mature Maria before her, and knowing the situation was grim, Rebecca took the lead in adopting a conciliatory attitude.
She agreed to hand over the vaccine antidote.
Soon, Rebecca took off her backpack and unzipped it, revealing the vaccine gun and laptop inside.
The data from this Institute was condensed within them.
Rebecca could only accept handing over the vaccine antidote, but she herself could not be taken away so easily. This kind of negotiation
was also a warning to Maria, saying,
"If your goal is just the vaccine antidote, then take it and leave quickly."
"Don't get any ideas about me. If you don't know what's good for you, you might not even be able to take the vaccine antidote once the fighting starts."
However,
Maria didn't fall for that.
The order Glenn had given her was that even if she couldn't get the vaccine antidote, she had to take Rebecca. Even if she couldn't take her, she had to kill her.
Therefore, no matter what,
Rebecca only had one ending today: either leave with her or die here.
Because they couldn't guarantee that Rebecca wouldn't continue to manufacture new vaccines in the future, all potential threats had to be nipped in the bud.
At the same time, because of Rebecca's "saint-like" words,
the originally calm Maria was reminded of her painful memories and couldn't help but retort:
"Heh..."
"Innocent? Who isn't innocent? When the US Government almost bombed my father and me to death, who wasn't innocent? Do you see him? He is my father, Diego the Bio-Monster. He almost died from the shelling."
"In the end, he relied on the power of the bio-virus to be transformed into a monster just to cling to life. Therefore, we intend to take revenge on the US Government and society. All of you will die here—!!!"
Giving another cold laugh,
Maria pointed at the strong, tall bio-monster with the iron face mask beside her and slowly explained.
As Glenn's friends, she and her father were only attending a wedding when they were bombed by US Government drones.
This was the thing Maria found most unbearable.
She knew Glenn was an Arms Dealer who specialized in smuggling and understood he wasn't a good person.
But the problem was... at the time, nearly half of the guests at Glenn's wedding were innocent civilians.
They were unaware that Glenn had been targeted by the US Government for smuggling bio-weapons, yet the US Government drones simply ignored those innocent civilians.
In order to kill the target, Glenn,
they resolutely dropped bombs to kill everyone. How could such an action not make Maria angry?
Since the US Government killed indiscriminately just to claim credit, then they, as bio-terrorists seeking revenge against the US Government,
didn't need to care about those innocent civilians either. They would just kill them all; it was just their bad luck to be involved!
"Wait..."
"Lady, why do you feel so certain you can take us down? Is it just because of that bio-monster behind you?"
At this moment,
Javier, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly pulled Rebecca behind him to protect her.
Then he looked at Maria and couldn't help but ask this critical, soul-searching question.
Indeed.
Relying solely on a Tyrant-level bio-monster,
how could these guys be so confident? Not to mention he had now obtained the power of the bio-virus,
even before he had it, Javier could still solo a Tyrant relying on firearms.
Thus, Javier didn't understand why Maria was so confident. Didn't she realize that at this very moment, the ones whose health bars were like flickering candles in the wind were this father and daughter pair?
After all,
this movie-version dungeon was a bit too easy for Javier—!
"Huh...?"
"Based on what? Who do you think you are? Both my father and I have undergone bio-virus modification. Never mind a single security guard like you, even if there were ten security guards here, I wouldn't care."
"You won't understand the power the bio-virus has given us. It's definitely not something people like you can handle. Surrender quietly, and I can let you keep an intact corpse to avoid being gnawed clean by zombies."
Hearing Javier's words,
Maria was stunned for a moment.
But she soon realized Javier was mocking them. Consequently, a rare hint of anger appeared on her pretty face, and she retorted coldly.
"And now...?"
*Click—!*
However,
Javier still didn't care and continued to probe verbally.
This time, he directly pulled out a Pristine Desert Eagle from his coat. The power of a.50 caliber bullet could easily kill a zombie.
Even a Tyrant would have to weigh its power.
If it were accidentally hit in the head, it would die. After all, the power of a.50 caliber bullet was already enough to kill an African elephant on the spot.
"A handgun... that thing poses no threat to us—!!!"
Nevertheless,
Javier had still underestimated the confidence of this father and daughter.
Seeing Javier pull out the Desert Eagle, Maria not only didn't show any sign of wariness,
but instead, an impatient and fierce look appeared on her face. Without hesitation, she walked quickly toward Javier in her high heels, seemingly intending to personally capture Javier and Rebecca.
*Crack—!!!*
Not only that,
a sudden explosion of sound echoed in the dim, quiet corridor.
A pitch-black leather whip was instantly pulled from Maria's waist. It turned out this woman really was a "Queen".
The whip was hidden at the back of her waist. If an SM enthusiast saw this scene, they would surely tremble with excitement.
However, Javier was not interested in that.
He could clearly see that the whip was not made of ordinary nylon; it was wrapped with several iron rings.
And on those iron rings were thorns like brambles.
If one were whipped by that, it wouldn't just be "pleasurable"; it would be flesh-tearing. Javier had no desire to enjoy such "affectionate" lashings.
*Boom—!!!!*
Seeing Maria slowly walking toward him, Javier didn't hesitate either.
He immediately fired. Pulling the trigger, a Magnum bullet instantly roared out, heading straight for Maria's head.
*Crack—!!!*
*Clang...*
But unfortunately,
before the bullet could get close,
it was whipped away by Maria's lash.
The whip hit the incoming bullet with unerring precision. After being knocked away, the bullet hit the corridor wall, sparking a noticeable flame.
"I told you, bullets aren't of much use against us...!"
Looking at the bullet she had whipped away,
the corners of Maria's mouth curled up slightly, a confident expression appearing on her face as she mocked Javier.
As a Bioweapon Soldier, her physical fitness had been greatly enhanced,
including her neural reaction speed. She could already see the trajectory of fired bullets. As long as the quantity wasn't too high, she could dodge or knock them down.
"Is that so?"
*Boom—!!!!*
Seeing Maria's confident face, Javier still didn't explain. He raised the Desert Eagle and fired another clean shot.
But this time, unlike the previous direct aim,
he fired with a horizontal flick, tilting the handgun and swinging his arm.
Generally, side-firing can reduce the huge recoil of a handgun; only the "Mauser C96" from the war era was used in such a way.
However,
Maria soon noticed something strange.
The bullet Javier fired wasn't heading straight for her body; instead, it followed a curve.
The bullet wasn't flying straight but had a curved, turning angle. A bullet that could turn? How was that possible?
*Crack—!!!*
The whip lashed out fiercely toward the bullet, but because the bullet moved at a curving angle,
it was hard to predict. The whip missed, and the bullet instantly bypassed the whip's defense, heading straight for Maria's body.
"Damn it...!"
Seeing this, Maria had no choice but to use her body to dodge. But while she could handle one curving bullet, what about the next five in a row?
*Bang bang bang bang bang—!!!!!!*
Javier instantly emptied the Desert Eagle, which only held eight rounds. The remaining five bullets all roared out.
All of them flew at strange, curving angles, making it impossible to predict their positions. It was like dodging one boomerang is possible, but what about five?
*Crack crack—!!!!*
Seeing this, Maria's expression changed to one of great shock.
She hurriedly and frantically swung the whip in her hand. Black lines crackled and popped in the dim corridor, whipping up a gale.
Maria seemed to want to use the whip as a protective shield to knock away all the surrounding bullets.
But unfortunately,
she had still underestimated the ingenuity of Javier's "Gun Flicking Technique".
One of the bullets luckily evaded the multiple whip obstacles and instantly bypassed her defense, landing with unerring precision on Maria's slender, fair shoulder.
*Squelch...!!!*
The.50 caliber Magnum bullet hit her shoulder, and a large burst of blood instantly exploded.
A large chunk of flesh was gouged out, dripping with blood, and one of Maria's arms instantly hung limp.
It seemed her bone had been fractured or dislocated by the bullet's impact, or perhaps the bone had been shattered by the bullet.
