The three figures were swallowed up by the suddenly appearing dark purple spatial rift!
Vanished without a trace!
next second.
Almost at the same time.
Behind Zhou Ye, in the same location and in the same manner, a similar crack appeared.
Three figures stumbled and fell out of there.
It was Nami, Gilgamesh, and Saeko Busujima who had just disappeared!
They were unsteady on their feet and almost fell, but landed safely a few meters behind Zhou Ye.
His face still showed signs of shock and confusion.
The entire process, from the appearance of the crack to the completion of the three people's transfer, took less than one-tenth of a second!
Like a silent teleportation!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!!!
The Blood Demon Art: Cunning Whip, unleashed with its last ounce of strength, missed its intended target!
Those insidious and vicious blood-red threads pierced the empty metal ground!
Tsk-!
The hard metal floor was easily cut with several deep trenches!
Gravel splashes!
It made a piercing grinding sound!
The echoes reverberated through the empty arena.
"?!!!"
The contorted, grotesque expression on Lei's face froze instantly!
stiff!
He stared wide-eyed at those bloodshot, ghostly eyes!
He stared intently at the three women who had suddenly appeared behind Zhou Ye!
He suddenly turned his head to look at the spot where his attack had missed!
Empty!
It was Zhou Ye's spatial ability; how could he have forgotten about that?
An indescribable, profound, and bone-chilling sense of despair, like the coldest icy sea tide, instantly overwhelmed my exhausted consciousness!
His last remaining fighting spirit and ferocity were completely extinguished! He couldn't even take the three women with him before he died to make Zhou Ye suffer, which just shows how incompetent he was.
【Da da da da da da da da——！！！】
The Gatling gun's roar continued, like a merciless death knell, piercing Lei into a sieve and announcing the death of this Lower Moon demon who had plagued humanity for a century!
Chapter 32 T-102 Tyrant
The battle is over.
It's so fast that people can't react in time.
Nami, Gilgamesh, and Saeko Busujima stood behind Zhou Ye, looking at the spot where Lei had just disappeared, each with a different expression.
Nami patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief:
"I was so scared... I thought just now..."
Jill frowned, her knuckles white as she gripped the gun. She looked at Zhou Ye and the two bio-weapons behind him, her expression complex. This power… far exceeded her current understanding of biological weapons.
Saeko Busujima licked her lips, her eyes brimming with undisguised excitement and fighting spirit. She stared at the [T-101 Venom Hanged Man], seemingly eager to test its strength.
Zhou Ye ignored their individual thoughts.
He looked at the spot where his fatigue had disappeared, pondering to himself.
[Is this all the Lower Moon Demons are capable of? They seem... much weaker than I expected.]
Or is it that my 'toy' is too powerful? This kind of firepower should be enough to deal with Umbrella's mass-produced Lickers and Tyrants, right?
"However, someone like Wesker... will probably need another upgrade."
[There are two more bosses coming up: Wesker and the T-102 Tyrant]
"Alright, everyone, take a break."
Jill and the other girls nodded without objection; another fierce battle awaited them.
the other side.
Western-style mansion, underground research institute.
A cold and damp passage.
The metal walls reflected the stark white light of the emergency lights.
Barry Burton tightened his grip on the Colt Python, lowered the muzzle slightly, and scanned the area ahead warily.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Chris, I still feel like something's not right."
Barry's voice was low, filled with undisguised worry.
“Wesker…he’s too calm.”
"He's been acting strange ever since we entered the mansion."
"Don't you think he seemed to have known what was going to happen here all along?"
Chris Redfield, who was walking ahead, did not turn around.
He was wearing a STARS uniform, holding a shotgun, and walking with a steady gait.
"Barry, concentrate."
Chris's voice was steady, revealing little emotion.
"Now is not the time to let your mind wander."
"Our mission is to find the traitor Wesker, uncover the truth, and stop Umbrella's plot."
"Whatever his problems are, we'll talk about it once we find him."
Barry:
"But……"
Chris stopped abruptly and turned to look at him.
"No buts!"
"We are STARS! Now we are being used like pawns. To safely return to Raccoon City, we must find evidence and expose Umbrella's conspiracy!"
Barry opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his words.
He knew Chris was right. He had been threatened by Wesker with his family. Even if he returned to his teammates' side, it didn't mean that Umbrella's threat to him would end. But the closer he got to his destination, the stronger his unease became.
The two moved on.
At the end of the passage was a heavy electronic keypad door.
Chris stepped forward, picked up the ID card from the researcher who had previously eliminated the zombies, and skillfully operated the control panel to open the door as a researcher.
[Beep beep beep... Authentication successful.]
The metal door slid open silently.
Behind the door is a huge, high-tech laboratory.
Various precision instruments flashed with a faint blue indicator light and hummed.
In the center of the laboratory stands a huge glass culture tank.
It was filled with a murky green liquid, in which a blurry, tall humanoid silhouette was submerged, its body covered with various tubes.
In front of the control panel stood a man wearing a black STARS combat suit and sunglasses.
Albert Wesker.
He had his back to the door, and seemed to be operating something.
"Wesker!"
Chris went in first and pointed his gun at him.
"You are indeed here!"
"What on earth is going on?! What exactly is Umbrella trying to do?!"
Wesker slowly turned around.
His sunglasses obscured his eyes, revealing only a faint, cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Chris, Barry."
His voice was eerily calm.
"You are finally here."
"It's a little slower than I expected."
Barry followed him in, his gun also locked onto Wesker.
"Wesker! Get out of here with us immediately! Report to headquarters!"
