Chapter 91 Death's Goddaughter
"We're fucked!!"
Jerry kept repeating it.
Mike, his comrade-in-arms, looked at him strangely.
"Hey bro, calm down, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Mike grabbed his shoulder, his brow furrowed.
"You look like you've wet your pants."
That female news anchor from the East, while pretty, isn't good-looking enough to make you drop a gun, is she?
"Not bad? Is that a matter of being good-looking?"
Upon hearing this, Jack suddenly came to his senses.
"Mike, you don't usually use VPNs to watch live streams on the East, so you don't know how valuable this woman is."
Mike looked completely bewildered:
"Gold content? Is she the daughter of some tycoon?"
"No, she is Death's goddaughter."
"Death's goddaughter? What's that?"
Jerry nodded emphatically:
"Brother, you have to believe me, this woman is definitely the most dangerous woman in the world."
Do you remember the earthquake that happened in the Cherry Blossom Country?
I want to tell you that she was there at the time.
Furthermore, a strange incident occurred at the Sumida Emergency Center shortly afterward, causing disaster throughout the entire Sumida Ward, and she was there too!
After hearing this, Mike hesitated for a moment: "What does that prove? A coincidence?"
"coincide?"
Jerry gave a cold laugh, his eyes filled with despair.
"What if I told you that this woman was also present when the virus broke out in South Korea not long ago?"
Do you still think this is a coincidence?
Mike opened his mouth, his expression starting to stiffen.
Could it really be that weird?
"But now, this woman is here."
Jerry took a deep breath and pointed to the top of his head.
"That transport plane crashed into Umbrella headquarters!"
Tell me, can this still be a coincidence?
Jerry stared intently into Mike's eyes.
"Brother, once is a coincidence, twice is an accident, but what about three times?"
This is absolutely causality!
This is God using her to cleanse the blue planet!
Hearing him say that, even Mike, who didn't quite believe it, felt a chill run down his spine.
As a soldier who has spent years teetering on the edge of life and death, he has an instinctive intuition for danger.
Although Jerry's words sounded very abstract, the logical loop was terrifyingly tight.
The two of them turned their heads stiffly, their gazes falling simultaneously on the dazed girl in the corner.
At this moment, Daida Mei was wrapped in a military blanket, looking like a frightened quail.
They felt the intense gazes of the two men.
The air seemed to freeze.
Dada Mei's heart skipped a beat.
Oh no, something's definitely wrong with that look.
It wasn't the kind of look you give a woman, but rather like you're looking at her...
A jinx!
Could they be like those netizens who are just misunderstanding themselves?
"Um... two soldiers?"
The silly girl forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and waved her hands frantically.
Don't listen to the nonsense online, those are all rumors!
I'm a legitimate streamer, not some kind of jinx, really!
I was just a little bit unlucky...
"Just a little bit short?" Jerry's voice trembled.
"Really! You have to believe in science!"
The silly girl was so anxious she was about to cry, and she pointed to the sky and swore...
"I swear, I really came here for tourism!"
There's absolutely no chance of anything major happening here anymore. That plane crashed, what else could possibly happen? Right?
However, she had barely finished speaking...
Boom! ...
A deafening roar, as if in response to her vow, came from the distant building.
Then,
The ground beneath our feet trembled violently, and the glass windows of the gymnasium at the resettlement site shattered instantly, scattering debris everywhere.
Everyone instinctively crouched down, covering their heads in defense.
Jerry and Mike turned their heads stiffly toward the direction from which the sound came.
In the distance, the Umbrella building, which was already covered in green mycelium, suddenly exploded into a huge burst of fire from its side.
Black smoke billowed up, and even from this distance, one could feel the wave of heat hitting them.
Woo-woo-woo-woo
The next second, the piercing air raid siren blared throughout the entire temporary resettlement site.
"Enemy attack! Level 1 alert!!"
The commander's hoarse shouts came over the loudspeaker.
This……
After a brief silence, Jerry slowly turned his head and looked at Dada. His eyes seemed to say:
You call this believing in science?
The girl was completely stunned.
Isn't that a coincidence?
She looked at the towering flames in the distance, then at the two ashen-faced soldiers in front of her, her lips trembling:
"If I said...this was also a coincidence, would you believe me?"
I don't believe you for a second!
Jerry didn't say anything.
He simply gripped the cross around his neck silently...
I pray that God is a merciful girl!
……
Meanwhile, on the second basement level of the Umbrella building.
This place has become a true hell.
"Damn it! How can this monster's hide be so thick?!"
Fire Man roared, unleashing two jets of intense fire, each reaching a temperature of over a thousand degrees Celsius, from his hands.
Orange flames raged through the narrow corridor, sizzling and burning the surrounding mycelium, emitting a nauseating acrid smell.
However, the enormous creature at the center of the flames seemed to feel no pain.
It turned out to be that fungal tyrant.
At this moment, its entire body is covered with a thick layer of grayish-white keratin.
The flames only slightly blacken the outer layer; they don't damage the muscle tissue inside.
"roar--!!"
The tyrant let out a deep roar, and its right arm, which had mutated into a giant tentacle, swung out violently.
boom!
The concrete wall next to it was smashed to pieces like tofu dregs.
"Get out of the way!"
Captain Black Widow let out a sharp shout, her figure moving like lightning, her twin blades drawing two silver crosses in the air, slashing fiercely at the Tyrant's knee joint.
clang!
Sparks flew everywhere.
The alloy sword, powerful enough to cut through tank armor, only left two shallow white marks on the tyrant's leg.
"So hard?!" Black Widow's pupils contracted sharply.
This monster's defense is several orders of magnitude higher than what the intelligence indicated!
"It's evolving! It's absorbing the energy here!"
The sensory member in the group screamed in terror.
"Every spore in this building is providing it with energy!"
Just then, the tyrant made his move.
Ignoring the surrounding flames and bullets, its massive body unleashed a speed completely disproportionate to its size, instantly rushing to the front of the tank Awakener in the group.
"Get out of here!"
The boulder roared, its skin instantly turning into a grayish-brown rock, and it crossed its arms to protect its chest, attempting to withstand the attack.
He is a power-type awakener, and his defensive capabilities are the strongest in the entire "Freedom Squad".
however.
Click!
The moment his proud defenses made contact with the tyrant's enormous tentacle.
The crisp sound of bones cracking could still be clearly heard on the roaring battlefield.
The giant rock's petrified skin shattered instantly, and his entire body resembled a soda can crushed by a hydraulic press, his chest cavity collapsing.
"puff--"
A mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spurted out, and before he could even scream, the tyrant grabbed him and threw him toward the nearby electrical box like trash.
Boom!
The electrical box exploded, and blue arcs of electricity leaped wildly.
The explosion that just happened was caused by this.
"A giant rock!!" Fire Man's eyes widened in horror.
"Never mind him! Retreat! Back to the lab!"
Black Widow acted swiftly, grabbing Fire Man who was about to charge forward to fight.
"This thing can't be killed! Our mission is to get the data!"
Taking advantage of the brief moment when the tyrant was slightly blocked by the shockwave of the explosion, the remaining four people rushed into the heavy blast door in a disheveled state.
boom!
The alloy gate slammed shut, and the automatic locking program was activated.
Outside the door, the tyrant's furious slamming could be heard, each impact causing the entire wall to tremble violently, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Inside the door, four people slumped on the ground, panting heavily.
The air was thick with the smell of despair.
This was only the second underground level, and they had already lost a main battle tank.
Deeper inside... could there be other monsters?
……
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the building.
Compared to the fierce battle underground, the place was eerily quiet.
Another team of Awakened Ones has just entered this level.
"My God... what is this place...?"
The people who had just stepped onto this floor couldn't help but gasp at the sight before them.
This area was originally Umbrella's most prestigious administrative office area, with expensive carpets and famous paintings.
But now, this place has completely become another world.
As far as the eye could see, everything was covered by a thick, yellowish-green fungal carpet.
The walls and ceilings are covered with layers of fungal shells that resemble coral reefs.
Visible spore dust floated in the air, resembling a never-ending yellow snowfall in the dim light of the emergency lights.
Several corpses dressed in suits were found, their human forms no longer recognizable.
They were planted on the wall by mycelium, and their heads had completely exploded, turning into huge, magnificent fungal flower heads.
The flower pots were still opening and closing slightly, as if they were breathing.
This scene resembled a scene from a post-apocalyptic game, but it was more realistic and more nauseating than the game.
That damp, rotten, yet vibrant smell hit me right in the head.
"Be careful not to touch those sporangia."
The captain lowered his voice and gestured for his team to move forward, "We're going to the room that was destroyed by the plane."
A team member carefully walked around a "flower head" corpse. The fungal carpet under his feet was soft and pliable, and a viscous liquid would seep out when he stepped on it.
"Captain, it's too quiet here."
The team member's voice trembled slightly.
"There wasn't even that 'click' sound."
It was indeed too quiet.
It was so quiet that you could only hear their own heartbeats.
But this silence only made people more uneasy.
It was like the calm before a storm, or the lurking of a apex predator before it feeds.
Just then.
The scout leading the way suddenly stopped.
He looked at the door to the CEO's office ahead.
The door was ajar at that moment.
No light shone through the crack in the door; only endless darkness remained.
But in the depths of that darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes, watching these intruders with a mocking smile.
The scout swallowed hard, reached out, and gently pushed open the door.
squeak-
The sound of the door hinges turning was like a thunderclap in the deathly silent space.
The door opened.
It wasn't a disaster site inside.
There was only one boss's chair, facing away from the door.
And in the chair, there appears to be a person sitting.
"Oh, you're up here so quickly?"
Just then, a young, languid, yet somewhat sinister voice suddenly rang out from the room.
The hairs on everyone's heads stood on end instantly!
