Pulling the trigger,
A series of gunshots rang out.
Although she hadn't touched a firearm in a long time,
as a former member of the S.T.A.R.S squad—Rebecca had even studied marksmanship under Javier for a period—
Rebecca still possessed muscle memory for handguns. Raising the weapon, inhaling, holding her breath to aim, and finally pulling the trigger; the set of movements was as fluid as flowing water.
She hadn't forgotten these skills just because she had been a Doctor of Biology for over a decade.
After all, her innate personality was that of a lively and active girl; playing with guns was her favorite thing to do.
And as the gunshots rang out,
bullets rapidly exited the muzzle in a spray of sparks, a succession of rounds quickly striking the body of the villain, Glenn.
Though they didn't hit his head,
bloody flowers continuously bloomed across his back. Several bullet holes instantly appeared on Glenn's back, staining his snow-white groom's tuxedo red.
Glenn's eyes widened instantly under the impact of the bullets, his face filled with shock and resentment.
A streak of bright red blood spread directly from the corner of his mouth.
It seemed that although his lungs were pierced, blood was uncontrollably being coughed up from his throat...
And this was retribution.
Earlier, Glenn had wanted to send Rebecca on her way, never imagining that he would be the first to go. It was truly quite pathetic!
"Cough, cough..."
"How is this possible?!"
Before dying,
Glenn still looked at everything before him in disbelief, but the sharp pain from his back made him feel his life slipping away at an extremely rapid pace.
This was a death he could not evade.
Although his body had undergone bio-virus modification, as mentioned before, the A-virus was merely a virus with extremely fast infectivity.
Its ability to further modify the host was limited.
Therefore, both its recovery capabilities and strength enhancements were quite lackluster, almost no different from the ordinary T-Virus.
Ordinary T-Virus zombies could be killed by a handgun, let alone a human like Glenn who was infected with the virus.
"Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar—!!!!"
However,
just as the villain Glenn was shot dead by Rebecca's handgun bullets,
his trusted subordinate Diego suddenly went mad, instantly erupting into a roaring rage on the spot.
Without hesitation,
the Bio-monster Diego instantly reached out with a massive palm toward his own face.
Crack...!
Applying force with his five fingers,
the iron plate originally embedded in his face was instantly torn to shreds by the Bio-monster Diego himself, and countless sutures snapped apart.
The iron mask fell to the ground with a "clatter",
immediately revealing Diego's original hideous and rotting face—the trauma left behind after he was bombarded by artillery shells.
Removing the iron mask
also signified his choice to release the shackles of his power limiter.
After all... as Glenn's friend and trusted subordinate,
he couldn't stand by and watch Glenn die. Therefore, the moment he saw Glenn shot dead by Rebecca, he immediately began his fusion ritual.
Although the power of the A-virus wasn't strong,
it had at least given birth to an elite monster like Diego. Curiously, after the Bio-monster Diego released his limiter,
he didn't simply expand his own massive muscles.
Instead, he needed to devour material for fusion,
and that material target was undoubtedly Glenn lying on the ground. Only by merging the two could Diego exert his original power.
Crack, crack...
Snap, snap, snap...
As the iron mask was removed, the spinal locks on the back of the Bio-monster Diego also began to snap and spring open one after another.
The large keyholes automatically rotated and fell off,
parts loosened, and the stitched threads tore open.
The entire massive, strong back suddenly split into two. Feeling the intense tearing sensation from his back, the Bio-monster Diego let out a painful howl.
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
Gurgle, gurgle—!!!
And in the next second,
mucus-covered, bright red tentacles shot out directly from Diego's back, looking like octopus tentacles.
Upon seeing the fusion material Glenn lying on the ground, these tentacles did not hesitate, instantly entangling Glenn's corpse,
and immediately pulled it into the spinal column of the Bio-monster Diego, directly beginning the most primitive fusion ritual.
The A-virus was developed by fusing the Plaga parasite with other viruses.
Therefore, it was perfectly normal for Diego to have parasite tentacles within his body. This fusion would allow the two to completely step into a more powerful level...!

"Ugh... Ahhhhhhh—!!!!!!!"
A series of painful howls instantly echoed within the wedding room.
Under the gaze of Javier and Rebecca, the Bio-monster Diego and Glenn directly began to fuse.
As Glenn's body was stuffed into Diego's spine by the dense tentacles, the body immediately began to undergo a transformation.
The strong muscles underwent a secondary expansion.
The originally two-meter-tall Diego completely expanded to about four meters, his head nearly touching the ceiling of the room.
His skin was crimson, the surface ulcerated, and his head was bald.
His expression was incomparably hideous, looking exactly like an ugly giant scorched by fire. This form was identical to a Tyrant that had released its power limiter.
A protruding red heart was beating on his chest.
This was basically it—the enhanced Tyrant form. After all, the current evolution of Tyrants still couldn't optimize away the weakness of the external heart.
"Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar————!!!!!!!!"
Opening his rolled-back eyes,
this fused monster stared fixedly at Javier and Rebecca before him, opening its mouth and letting out a sudden, fierce roar.
Although it couldn't speak,
the expression on its face was exceptionally angry. Most likely, Glenn's consciousness had awakened within the fusion.
So, having returned from the dead,
Glenn, who now controlled the Tyrant's body, couldn't wait to brutally murder Javier and Rebecca—this pair of adulterers—right here.
Clang, clang, clang—!!!
In the next second,
the fused Tyrant revealed its special weapon. With a fierce swing of its powerful right arm,
five incredibly sharp claws instantly grew from between its fingers, extremely pointed and long, measuring about half a meter.
Moreover, they were full of resilience.
These claws were the special weapon Glenn and Diego obtained after fusing. These sharp claws didn't just serve as simple melee weapons;
they could extend over a large area.
Indeed, they could extend to a distance of twenty meters, much like Spider-Man's webbing. Combined with the claws' resilience,
in the movie, Glenn's fused zombie was once knocked off a skyscraper's rooftop by Chris and fell.
But Glenn's fused zombie used its twenty-meter-long claws to forcibly grab onto the sides of the building,
hanging itself in mid-air.
Ultimately, it was only with the support of a BSAA helicopter, using an electromagnetic sniper rifle to hit the fused Tyrant's heart, that it was finally killed.
Therefore, in a sense, Glenn's fused Tyrant
was indeed a bit stronger than an ordinary Tyrant, but only just so...!
"Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar—!!!!"
Another roar came.
The fused Tyrant Glenn, his eyes filled with monstrous rage, did not hesitate this time.
He immediately dragged the sharp, long claws of his right hand and charged rapidly toward Rebecca.
Rebecca was the one who had just shot his human body with a handgun. Now that he had returned from the dead, he wanted Rebecca to pay in blood.
Even if her appearance was similar to his wife, Sarah, it didn't matter.
After all, he had already become this monstrous wreck. How could he possibly continue his past relationship with Rebecca? He could only kill her so they could reunite in hell.
"Javier...?!"
Seeing the menacing Tyrant Glenn,
fear flashed in Rebecca's eyes, and she couldn't help but instinctively call out Javier's name.
At the same time, she rapidly pulled the trigger of the handgun held tightly in her hand,
emptying all of the few remaining bullets.
She didn't think handgun bullets could kill this Tyrant Glenn, but she had no choice; it was one of her few means of self-defense.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—!!!!!
A series of gunshots rang out.
The remaining four or five bullets bounced off the head of this ugly Tyrant Glenn like a mere itch,
failing to cause much damage at all.
They could only leave shallow dents on the surface of the coarse muscle armor. A 9mm handgun lost its effectiveness when dealing with Tyrant-level monsters.
"Don't even think about it...!"
Seeing Glenn's sharp claws about to slash into Rebecca's body, Javier, not far away, decisively chose to intervene.
The Biological Blade on his left hand assumed a lunging posture.
His body bent slightly, legs tensed, and in the next moment, he shot out like a rocket. That same sharp and penetrating Biological Blade was dead-aimed at Glenn's arm.
Boom... Pfft—!!!
Javier was faster.
Before the ugly Tyrant Glenn's claws could hit Rebecca, its arm had already been pinned firmly to the wall.
And what was impaling it was none other than Javier's Biological Blade.
The hard Biological Blade pierced through the Tyrant Glenn's arm, shattering the entire bone and carving out a massive wound that held it tight against the wall.
It couldn't move an inch.
At this moment, the Tyrant Glenn's posture was wretched, looking like Jesus nailed to the cross, forced to watch as its arm was severed.
