Chapter 53: You Opened It? Then I'll Open It Too! 【End of Resident Evil Arc, Please Keep Reading】
"Splat!"
Like a pile of mud hitting the ground, the Symbiote provided excellent cushioning, allowing all four to land safely.
They returned to the lower level of the Hive, but there were no longer any of the original zombies.
Everything was covered in dark red blood, clearly the handiwork of that monster from earlier.
"Zhan Lan, which way do we go?"
"Forward, left, forward, forward, forward. That's the closest place to the lower level. As for the passage..."
"Once we get there, we'll just dig. We need to be fast."
Chu Xuan interrupted Zhan Lan's directions, preparing to open up a new path.
Zheng Zha suddenly understood; they had the Guanmai Great King, a "hole-digging artifact," in their hands. All they needed to consider was where they could dig through.
Fang Ge's insight and wisdom were truly incredible; he could just randomly pick a technological weapon and slaughter with it...
While running, Zheng Zha still had the presence of mind to consider whether he should ask Fang Ge to choose a new cultivation technique for him.
"Whoosh!"
A dark shadow suddenly flashed past them!
"Wesker?"
Under duress, Zheng Zha actually opened his Gene Lock directly!
In the dim light, two figures suddenly clashed in the narrow corridor.
The cold gleam from Wesker's hand cut through the darkness. It was a short knife, its tip shimmering with a chilling intent, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, aimed directly at the Guanmai Great King in Zheng Zha's hand!
Clearly, he knew what the biggest threat was.
Zheng Zha subtly twisted his wrist, and the Guanmai Great King slipped from his grasp, hitting the ground and avoiding the sudden attack.
With his other hand, he drew his Monomolecular Sword, tracing silver arcs in the air. It lightly touched the opponent's blade, emitting a crisp clang.
"Clang!"
Wesker's short knife was merely a product of modern technology, so how could it compare to the Monomolecular Sword?
The two touched for only an instant, and Wesker's short knife snapped. The broken blade flew to the ground from inertia, quietly attesting to the Monomolecular Sword's sharpness.
"Bang bang!"
Alice and Yu Huatian instinctively pulled their triggers, but both shots hit nothing.
Wesker's speed was terrifyingly fast. The muscles in his arm suddenly bulged, becoming even thicker than a normal person's thigh!
"What is this?"
Zheng Zha was suddenly alarmed. A strong sense of danger instinctively made him order his Symbiote combat suit to materialize!
Internal energy and blood energy intertwined at that moment; in an instant, he had used all his trump cards!
"Boom!"
This punch landed squarely on Zheng Zha's face. The powerful impact sent him flying backward, violently smashing through a dilapidated wall!
With a crisp snap, Zheng Zha knew his cervical spine had been broken, and his jaw had been shattered by the punch...
Thanks to the Symbiote's presence, otherwise, he would have died from that one punch!
But in doing so, he also couldn't wear the helmet of his constant temperature suit, plunging him into an oxygen crisis!
"Hmph."
Wesker snorted disdainfully, as arrogant as if he had just kicked a stray dog to death by the roadside.
Everything that just happened was extremely swift, but that didn't mean Chu Xuan was indifferent.
He immediately picked up the Guanmai Great King that had fallen to the ground, crouched down, and pulled the trigger.
"Useless! Useless!"
The Guanmai Great King's firing rate was fast, that was true.
But in this confined space, just the time it took to turn the gun and pull the trigger was enough for Wesker to run a circle around them.
Wesker's neural reaction speed was no less than Zheng Zha's. Under the enhancement of the Second-Order Gene Lock, the difference between them became apparent.
Due to the limitations of the nervous system, ordinary people often cannot exert more than 20% of their muscle strength. Even strengthened individuals like Zheng Zha cannot reach 30%.
However, once the Second-Order Gene Lock is opened, one can control over 90% of their muscle groups. If developed well enough, this proportion can infinitely approach 100%.
But Chu Xuan's goal was not to hit Wesker at all.
He merely wanted to make the subsequent path easier.
Lying on the ground, Zheng Zha transformed the Symbiote into a puddle of viscous liquid, silently spreading to Wesker's feet...
"Come here, you!"
The Symbiote beneath Wesker's feet suddenly solidified, forming shackles that bound his legs!
Zheng Zha seized this crucial moment, pulling him close, and the two achieved zero-distance contact!
"Let's go first!"
Chu Xuan was very decisive. He didn't choose to support Zheng Zha but instead picked up the Guanmai Great King and charged forward.
Alice hesitated for only a moment before gritting her teeth and following suit.
Yu Huatian, of course, needed no mention; he had no personal will to speak of.
They couldn't interfere with Zheng Zha's fight. If they misused the Gauss Weapon, they could easily cause friendly fire.
Even if Zheng Zha wasn't Wesker's match, given that the opponent lacked effective lethal weapons, he might not be killed immediately!
Just holding on for a bit would be enough; Fang Ge was still behind them!
"Are these the teammates you protect with your life? Have they abandoned you already?"
Entangled by the Symbiote, Wesker still had the strength to fight. One of his thighs bulged like a frog's, and as he swung it, there was a powerful sonic boom. He kicked Zheng Zha in the abdomen.
Wesker's boots seemed to be specially made, with powerful kinetic energy attached to the toe. They actually pierced straight through Zheng Zha!
"Ugh!"
Zheng Zha, beneath his mask, vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.
However, the blood was immediately decomposed and absorbed by the Symbiote, re-nourishing his body.
Hiss... hiss...
The sound of gas escaping. Zheng Zha suddenly realized that the oxygen tank built into his constant temperature suit had just been shattered by Wesker.
Well, for now, he didn't need to worry about suffocating.
He gave a bitter laugh internally, his ears filled with Wesker's trash talk.
Zheng Zha's will to survive, however, was not affected by these unfavorable factors and began to surge continuously.
Loli was still waiting for him in the Main God Space...
He had finally found her after ten years. He had only just found her a short while ago; he absolutely couldn't die like this.
Zheng Zha's eyes suddenly sharpened. The Symbiote had begun to gnaw at his muscles and fat, allowing his body to maintain its combat vitality.
"Loli, believe me... no matter what, we will definitely survive!"
Zheng Zha then cried out in pain. His arms, covered by the Symbiote, began to grow thicker and thicker; it was a visible change, the bulging muscles feeling as if he had undergone a biological mutation.
"What!"
Wesker found this scene unbelievable.
He embodied the essence of all Umbrella Corporation's biotechnology. Besides that special experimental subject, Alice, no one was more perfect than him.
Even so, he had only barely grasped that kind of "limit-breaking" power.
And this "security guard" in front of him, wearing some inexplicable biological armor, shouting that he "must survive," could he gain the same power as him?
No... it wasn't the same.
Zheng Zha's muscle strength far exceeded his.
"Ah!"
Two crimson hands, as thick as elephant legs, erupted and seized his arms. The speed was astonishing, utterly impossible to react to!
Wesker was surprised to find that even though the opponent was using this "limit-breaking" power for the first time, his control over his muscles already surpassed his own!
"Why?"
This was Wesker's last thought.
Why was he surpassed so easily?
He wouldn't get an answer. The next moment, Zheng Zha opened his gaping maw and bit off Wesker's head.
"Crunch, crunch!"
Horrifying chewing sounds continuously emanated, indicating that the Symbiote considered Wesker an exceptionally delicious meal.
An intense hunger drove Zheng Zha to keep eating.
It wasn't until the horrifying, terrifying backlash arrived that Zheng Zha convulsed and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Good job, Zheng Zha, your appetite is getting better and better."
Fang Ge's figure rapidly moved through the lower level, and his peripheral vision caught sight of the "artwork" Zheng Zha had created.
Wesker's upper body had been completely eaten, leaving only two bullfrog-like thighs on the ground, their rear ends sticking up, as if they really were going to work in a Thai red-light district.
"Zhan Lan, did he just experience rapid muscle swelling?"
"How did you know? He just entered a very special state," Zhan Lan replied affirmatively.
"Then it's easy... you two stay here. This place happens to have some oxygen. While you're at it, use the Buddha Wheel and true qi to heal his injuries."
Fang Ge could no longer suppress the rising corners of his mouth.
A two-tier advancement, progress greatly accelerated!
And, finally... he could be a Superman again!
As long as he had the power of the Second-Order Gene Lock, all those messy plans could be thrown aside!
One word—kill!
No external pressure? Urgency is also a form of external pressure.
Fang Ge was already impatient to end all of this!
—With Wesker dead, the only enemy left was Dr. Isaacs... just a rotten fish and shrimp drowned in ambition.
To be honest, from the moment he dealt with "G5" or "BIG," Fang Ge knew that nothing more difficult would appear.
The price required for scoring points had been borne by him alone, without injury.
—Just thinking about the rating soaring makes me a little excited...
A wild smile appeared on Fang Ge's lips.
"Open for me!"
A shattering sound echoed from Fang Ge's subconscious.
His entire body's muscles immediately moved as he wished. With each contraction and expansion of his leg muscles, his speed more than doubled!
The surrounding scenery rapidly receded, and soon a hole blasted open by the Guanmai Great King appeared before his eyes.
Chu Xuan and the others were pinned to the ground by a steel pillar that had fallen from above, blood continuously overflowing from their mouths and noses.
Just like Wesker, who was fired in the original story.
It was just that Dr. Isaacs was present, and Alicia couldn't exercise her shareholder rights, so she couldn't help Chu Xuan and the others.
"It's useless, this is the Hive."
Dr. Isaacs's face showed a scornful smile; he believed everything was under his control.
"You can't even bypass Red Queen's security measures..."
What inexplicable behavior. Who gave these small fries the guts to dare to break into this crucial lowest level before disabling Red Queen's defenses?
"Mortal wisdom."
Chu Xuan's tone was utterly devoid of emotion, yet anyone would perceive it as "sarcasm."
Fang Ge's arrangements would have no flaws; he believed this.
Moreover, the worst-case scenario was merely waiting for the Symbiote to crawl onto Alicia, heal her body, and restore her authority...
These cookie-cutter villains talked too much trash, utterly devoid of wisdom.
Chu Xuan had a backup plan; that black mud-like substance was only a few meters away from Alicia.
"Still raving on your deathbed..."
Dr. Isaacs stepped closer to Chu Xuan, intending to mock this arrogant madman harshly with the sole of his foot.
Before his foot could even lift, his vision began to spin.
What's going on?
Dr. Isaacs fell into a prolonged state of confusion and stopped thinking.
Splattering blood obscured Chu Xuan's vision.
"To your left."
The man's voice reached Chu Xuan's ears.
Fang Ge's information and arrangements... indeed, there would be no mistakes.
Chu Xuan became even more certain of his conjecture.
