"Smash it?" Svetlana was still a bit confused about what was happening, but the next second she saw Eddie walk directly forward, put on specialized gloves, and punch the glass, creating a slight crack in the sturdy glass.
"How long will that take you?" Svetlana scoffed.
Jessica also put on gloves, made a punching motion, and concentrated all her strength in her right fist. The next second, her pink fist struck, directly smashing a laser glass panel.
"Jessica, smash the left glass panel too," Eddie ordered.
Jessica nodded, threw a left hook, smashed the left glass panel, and then retreated.
Eddie took out two grenades, pulled the pins, and threw them one to the left and one to the right into the inside of the glass corridor, through the broken glass.
Boom! A loud bang sounded. The high-explosive grenades caused the glass to shatter completely after the vibrations from inside and out reached a peak.
"See, that's done. It's very simple. Safety first, that's what I taught you. Be careful, don't die. Staying alive is victory," Eddie boasted proudly.
Svetlana snorted, "Stop showing off. Hurry up and dismantle the main computer."
The three passed through the laser corridor. Because the glass was shattered, even with defense mechanisms, there was no way to defend. They easily arrived at the server room, where the core main computer, the Red Queen, was stored! A supercomputer created by Umbrella, it wasn't too intelligent but was much more powerful than other computers, and could even be controlled by voice.
Eddie connected a disk to the main computer, and the system began to operate. Meanwhile, in the modified truck in the suburbs, Christine Yamata was constantly operating the computer. With the guide left by Suzuki Yoko, she only needed to follow the steps and click the keyboard.
About five minutes later, the surrounding lights dimmed. The Red Queen's main computer had stopped running, and the backup server room was forced to activate. The backup server room was similar to a normal server room but lacked intelligence.
The three-meter-long, one-meter-wide, half-meter-high main computer slowly rose from the ground. Eddie took out a large fiber bag and packed the main computer. "Jessica, it's yours."
Jessica stepped forward and easily hoisted the main computer, which weighed a full eight hundred catties. As an enhanced person with the Progenitor Virus, she was now equivalent to an Ivan-type Tyrant, but more intelligent, with the added functions of being able to cook and warm a mattress.
The three returned the way they came. The backup server room could last for a while, but not too long. If no one dealt with it for half a month, the network would collapse.
Passing William's laboratory again, William was already gone. He must have transformed into his first form. After his revival, his first priority would surely be to seek revenge on Hunk and the others.
Through a special elevator, Eddie brought Svetlana and Jessica to the sewers. He had no choice; only by leaving through the sewers could he reach the suburbs, load the main computer onto the truck, and then transport the truck to the cruise ship.
Da da da! A battle began ahead in the sewers. The sound of a tactical submachine gun never stopped. As the gunfire ceased, the sound of bones breaking echoed, as if from being struck by immense force.
Looking from the side, in the adjacent sewer, a man with a giant right arm held an iron rod, walking step by step towards the retreating Umbrella special forces team.
Da da da, the special forces member continued to fire until his magazine was empty before he reacted. The bullets, which could turn an ordinary person into a sieve, had no effect on William. Although it wasn't like hitting steel, the effect was not good, and his tough skin squeezed the bullets back out.
"Umbrella!" William roared in anger and charged. His posture was very awkward; his giant right arm made it difficult for him to balance. But even so, the powerful strength granted by the G-Virus allowed him to send the special forces member flying with a single swing of his rod.
Boom! A grenade was thrown and exploded at William's feet. The immense kinetic energy knocked William over. A figure took advantage of this opportunity, grabbed a box containing the virus, and quickly ran into the distance.
"Ouch!" At this moment, William let out an inhuman howl. Although his flesh was bloody from the explosion, he still quickly ran in pursuit.
The middle of the sewer was filled with foul-smelling wastewater and garbage, while both sides had a one-meter-wide walkway. At least in the construction of the sewer, Umbrella had invested a large amount of money.
Eddie frowned. William's direction of pursuit was the same as his direction of departure, which would inevitably lead to an encounter with William. This was very troublesome; he did not want to face a monster like William.
Continuing forward, they had now reached the underground area near the Arklay Mountains. Hunk had been running the whole time. His path to the hospital was blocked, so he had no choice but to run forward.
Seeing the path ahead blocked, Hunk put down the box, took out his tactical dagger, and, going against the current, charged towards William.
Whoosh! Seeing an enemy charging, William, without thinking, swung his rod down. However, Hunk nimbly ducked, then backhanded the dagger into the eye on William's right arm.
"Ouch!" William roared furiously, kicking backward with force. Relying only on his sense of touch, he sent Hunk flying five or six meters.
Hunk, who was kicked flying, landed on a three-meter-high ramp, hitting his head against the wall and passing out.
At this moment, William pulled out the dagger, and the eye on his right arm began to twist left and right, quickly restoring his vision. Then William walked to the box, directly stomped on it, and the virus inside spilled out from the shattered test tubes, eventually flowing into the sewer.
A large number of rats began to come looking for food, as if the virus was something good. They all started to gather, their numbers increasing, just like a plague of rats, densely packed and extremely disgusting to look at.
Chapter 174: Husband and Wife Confront G1 William
Eddie frowned at the situation. There was no way to stop it now, and the most annoying thing was that William was blocking his way forward. "Go over there! Go around from the other side."
They had no choice but to change their route, but as they moved, they made some noise. William looked left and right in confusion, then raised his large foot and directly stomped on a crawling cockroach, killing it. These dirty, lowly creatures had no idea of the horror of the G-Monster and still wanted to gnaw on it?
They arrived at the sewers on the outskirts of the Arklay Mountains, which was already outside the cordon. A few residents still lived there sporadically, but they later moved away. Monsters frequently appeared here, and being bitten meant death, so it was better to leave early.
Whoosh! An iron rod flew from behind. Svetlana, without thinking, immediately turned and leaped, her high heels accurately kicking away the iron rod that had been thrown with brute force. The iron rod was firmly embedded in the sewer wall, nearly half a meter of it sticking out, showing the immense force of the throw!
Thump, William still appeared. He clearly sensed the presence of living humans and regarded these living humans as tools for procreation! Similar to the nauseating way of Alien parasitism, the mission of the G-Monster, besides evolution and slaughter, also included reproduction.
During reproduction, the virus changes genes, thereby creating infinite possibilities. An ugly person might become a great beauty or a handsome man, or might become even uglier. It might even turn into some kind of animal, since it's a terrifying virus that alters genetic structure.
"We still ran into him. What a hassle. Let me handle it, Jessica. Put the main computer aside for now. We need to deal with this monster. You two watch my back. I'll go first." Eddie sighed, breathing through his half-mask to relieve his inner tension. It was just the first form; there was nothing to be afraid of.
William raised his giant arm, intending to swat down the charging fellow, then see if he could reproduce. Because he was a clone and Sherry wasn't here, he couldn't find a suitable candidate and had to choose from nearby.
Eddie focused his attention to the maximum. William's attack trajectory was clear to him. He dodged the attack with a squat, and at the same time, he threw a hard right punch, hitting William in the face and sending him stumbling backward.
"Roar! Die!" William could still barely utter a human word, followed by immense fury.
Eddie again used bullet time to dodge William's attack, while continuously throwing punches, using all the attack techniques Svetlana had taught him. His special combat boots kicked hard at William's knee joint, shattering his bones.
"Ouch!" William cried out in pain, savagely swinging his right arm, which Eddie dodged by retreating.
The shattered joint was still repairing, so he could only kneel on one knee for now. Eddie didn't miss this opportunity and immediately pulled out an incendiary grenade, "Have a barbecue, monster!"
Whoosh! The incendiary grenade was thrown. After a two-second delay, it ignited fiercely upon hitting William, using him as fuel to burn continuously.
William, in pain, roared incessantly, yet remained on his knees. He seemed to be denouncing Eddie's despicable shamelessness—a combination of martial arts and then an incendiary grenade. How could such a shameless move be used!
"Alright, see you next time, monster!" Eddie took out a submachine gun, adjusted it to sniper mode, then aimed at the fallen William, fired a shot, and the bullet flew with flames, accurately hitting William's head, knocking the burning William into the foul ditch of the sewer.
After confirming that William had temporarily lost his combat ability, Eddie made a gesture, "Jessica, you take the main computer up first. Svetlana, you go up too. I'll cover the rear."
William, who had fallen into the sewer, was already floating on the surface again, lying in the foul ditch mixed with feces and urine. To be so at ease, besides him, probably no one else could do it.
Eddie continued to take out a grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it over. Then, without even looking, he climbed directly up the ladder. After he climbed up, an explosion sounded from the sewer, and the sleeping William was blown away again.
Back on the ground, Eddie immediately covered the sewer manhole. Then he took off his gas mask and began to breathe heavily, "It stinks so much, it's really awful down there. Luckily I added some lemon slices, otherwise, with that smell, let alone fighting, I wouldn't even be able to stand."
"What's the big deal? If you experience the life of a special forces unit, you'll realize this is already considered merciful!" Svetlana scoffed. She wasn't lying; only by enduring the most difficult situations can one forge the mindset of a hardened warrior.
"I know, you're always showing off your abilities to me. I know you're very capable, woman. Let's go, leave here first and rendezvous with Christine Yamata and the others. We've already got the main computer we wanted. There's also a server in the underground hive. We'll find a time to go get it later," Eddie called out. He didn't want to go in circles here; there was still a William eating shit in the sewer.
All three had undergone enhancements, so a twenty-kilometer jog only took fifteen minutes. They quickly arrived at a large truck by the roadside. VECTOR and the others were waiting there, and upon seeing Eddie, they immediately saluted, "Boss."
"Continue to be vigilant," Eddie waved his hand, then walked onto the large truck with the server. "Put the server main computer away. After Suzuki Yoko and the others arrive, you all return to Raccoon City. The real show is about to begin."
"I understand, boss, rest assured!" Christine Yamata said respectfully.
After checking the status of the server main computer and confirming that it was still usable, no damage was found for the time being.
