The attacked elephant became even more frenzied, continuously crashing into everything it could see.
"Sir, I really didn't see them. I saw them just now, but when the monster came, who knows where they went," Marvin explained, knowing he wouldn't tell these soldier thugs even if he had seen them.
"You fucker, you'd better be telling the truth, or else..." Thump! A huge tremor made the White Captain, who was questioning Marvin, lose his balance and almost fall.
"What's going on?" the White Captain demanded furiously.
"Boss, the elephants below are hitting the concrete pillars. If they break all of them, this building will collapse. Assault rifles have no effect on them!" a soldier reported.
"Then use rocket launchers and grenades. Hmph, let's go, we'll take care of that beast." The White Captain snorted. Now was clearly not the time to search for suspects.
In the open space outside the building, the ground was still churning. Zombies and infected animals walking on it were thrown around.
A large, infected, mutated wild boar was tossed into the air, and the next second, a giant crawling earthworm burst out of the ground and swallowed the nearly five-hundred-pound boar whole.
The Guard soldiers who arrived as reinforcements were shocked; such a creature was unheard of, and even main battle tanks had been overturned by these earthworms.
"Fire! Push forward! Rocket launchers, prepare, aim and fire!" the commander ordered.
Modern weapons began to unleash their full power. A single shell directly hit the sand worm, which had come out to forage, causing it to writhe continuously.
Successive rocket launcher bombardments damaged the earthworm's skin, and under continuous bombardment, it was bombed to death.
The bioweapon elephant in the building was also stunned by the rocket launchers. Well-trained soldiers took the opportunity to use grenade launchers, throwing grenades into the elephant's damaged areas.
The grenade exploded from within, and the immense force blew off half of the elephant's body!
"Well done!" the Captain cheered on his team.
The soldier holding the grenade launcher also gave a thumbs-up, patting himself on the back.
But the next second, a shadow flashed by, and the soldier was gone!
Chapter 250: Blasted, with Just One Punch
"Hans! What happened to you, Hans, answer me quickly!" The White Captain's hair stood on end. What the hell was that?
In the darkness, there was only the sound of sharp teeth tearing flesh and bone. When the tactical flashlight illuminated the source of the sound, the soldiers were stunned: it was an extremely massive lion, with thick fur that seemed to be bulletproof, and rotting skin, as if infected with a virus.
"Attack! Avenge Hans!" the White Captain roared.
Tat-tat-tat! The sound of assault rifles rang out continuously, carving lines of fire in the darkness.
However, the mutated lion ran very fast, and the aiming speed couldn't keep up with the lion's movement. In just a few moments, it dragged away another Guard soldier.
In the darkness, the sound of tearing flesh continued to echo, sending shivers down one's spine. How terrifying it was.
The lion that appeared was from the Raccoon City Zoo, and its name was Max! Like the elephant that had just been killed by the grenade, both were star attractions at the zoo, earning a lot of money for the zoo's circus.
The T-Virus infected Max the lion and other lionesses. The virus degenerated their brain intelligence but correspondingly enhanced their muscle tissue, making them more dangerous.
Lions were already apex predators, and after being strengthened, unprepared small teams would be easily killed by it.
Eddie had been observing coldly, watching the Guard below fight various monsters. "Ada, do you think I'm being cruel like this?"
Ada shook her head. "No, you're not wrong. Just promise me not to die before Simmons falls. I believe you wouldn't do something that would anger both gods and men. I'm going in to collect some data. Do you want to come?"
"Alright, going in to take a look is fine. Moira, Emma, Claire, you all stay here. We'll go in and see," Eddie instructed.
"Let's advance and retreat together. You wouldn't want to leave me alone, would you?" Claire turned her head and smiled, her smile somewhat innocent. She always believed Eddie was a good person.
"There's no need to take risks; this isn't absolutely necessary. There might be some good data to collect inside. You all just rest here, it's still very safe. If anything happens, I'll come out to meet you immediately," Eddie smiled. He wouldn't abandon any woman.
Claire lowered her head. "Eddie, remember to come back alive. I'm still waiting for you to find my brother with me."
"Don't worry, that big bad guy won't die," Karena said grumpily, annoyed that she had to stay here as a bodyguard while he went off to enjoy himself.
From a height of over ten meters, Eddie jumped straight down without even rolling. After dual enhancements, he was already a superhuman comparable to Wesker.
The good thing about him compared to Wesker was that he had no side effects and didn't need other serums to maintain his body's balance.
Tap-tap-tap, Ada, Svetlana, Jessica, and Lisa—all four women ran in high heels. The uneven road surface did not affect their performance.
Walking on it was like walking on flat ground. This elegance and composure, coupled with the charm of high heels, indeed made it difficult for people to look away.
The outer wall of the Waste Disposal Plant was a full thirty meters high, plus a five-meter-high electric fence, making it almost thirty-five meters. This was a challenge even for elite special forces.
As Ada took out her grappling hook, Eddie stopped her. "Wait, those electric fences above are definitely powered. And there are monster roars and gunshots inside. Rushing in will only lead to an attack."
"Then what's your brilliant idea?" Ada raised an eyebrow.
"I have one. Follow me." Eddie followed the map to a relatively weak section of the wall.
After an estimation, at about ten meters high, Eddie quickly charged, pushing off the wall with his feet, instantly leaping to a height of ten meters. Wearing a gauntlet on his right hand, he punched the weak spot.
Thump! The immense force, transmitted through the special fiber gauntlet, shattered the weak half-meter-thick concrete.
Eddie only felt a slight numbness in his arm, which quickly healed under the influence of the virus. His bones were fine, only some muscle strain.
"Alright, go in through here. Inside is an employee lounge." Eddie shook his arm.
"Next time, remember to invent a better gauntlet that can unleash your full power." Svetlana's smile held a hint of playfulness. Showing off in front of women is something men like to do, all to attract attention.
"I know, I wouldn't do anything beyond my strength." Eddie pushed off the wall and performed a graceful backflip, landing in the lounge.
The room was messy, with some bloodstains, suggesting a struggle had occurred here after the mutation. It was certainly not a pleasant memory.
Gunfire still raged outside, with occasional sounds of continuous explosions.
The heavy weapons carried by the regular combat teams were far superior to those of Raccoon City's elite riot police, as they were professional soldiers.
A giant mutated Venus flytrap plant blocked the doorway. To pass, one had to destroy this plant first. Getting too close would result in being pulled by vines and swallowed.
As Eddie walked towards the room door, Ada pulled him back, made a shushing gesture, and pointed to a spot outside the window.
Following Ada's fair finger, on a high platform nearly two kilometers away, a man in a black suit and sunglasses was observing the battle below with binoculars. This man was Wesker, who had faked his death and joined Tricell!
"Wesker is here too? Heh, how interesting." Eddie sneered. Things were getting more and more intriguing. Where Wesker appeared, there was definitely something fishy going on.
"Look, there's a monster in the sulfuric acid pool, just like the G-Monster from before," Svetlana said, lifting her fair chin.
A G-Monster, which had already devoured several zombies and evolved into its second form, was currently entangled with a small squad.
The well-trained squad relied on surrounding obstacles to dodge the G-Monster's attacks and dispersed in an orderly fashion.
Whenever the monster attacked a team member, the soldiers with their backs to the monster would open fire, causing the monster to stumble, and at the same time, throw delayed grenades that exploded upon contact with the monster, preventing it from performing a flashy move like swatting away the grenades.
Chapter 251: The Final Showdown
This was also influenced by the G-Monster's host consciousness. This unlucky fellow didn't have the anger that William's clone had experienced after being critically wounded by gunfire and having the virus sample stolen. It only had an instinctive, berserk tearing, which meant its power wasn't particularly strong.
The team of five hundred, by the time they reached the sulfuric acid pool, had dwindled to just over two hundred.
Nearly half of the soldiers had been killed by various bioweapon monsters en route, and some had even mutated into zombies. Due to their camaraderie, it was difficult to shoot them, leading to others being bitten as a result.
Commander McCuller was furious. Even if he returned this time, he would be court-martialed for such heavy losses, yet he hadn't even seen a trace of the enemy.
Upon seeing the advance team fighting in the sulfuric acid pool, McCuller immediately roared, "Everyone, use heavy firepower to kill that monster!"
