Chapter 93 Raccoon City is About to Fall
A deathly silence fell over the command center.
Even though the screen had gone black, the image from just moments ago was still vivid in everyone's minds.
Whether it was the other person's understanding, which far surpassed that of most people, or the things they said...
These memories are deeply etched into their minds.
"asshole……!"
After a long pause, Smith finally spoke with a grim expression, looking at the shocked Morgan.
"This is all caused by the masters behind you."
Are you satisfied now?
Morgan, his face deathly pale, opened his mouth, but didn't know where to begin.
Who would have thought something like this would happen!
"Say something!!"
Seeing that he remained silent, Smith roared,
"Tell me, what do we do now?"
Seeing his anger, the generals and members of parliament present exchanged glances, their faces ashen, as if they had just swallowed a dead fly.
Who would have thought that the monster would arrive in the United States without a word?
And it also spread the virus in Raccoon City.
"Smith, there's no point in assigning blame now."
An air force general, his face grim, spoke.
"Let's think about how to deal with this monster who single-handedly caused the destruction of Bubble!"
"Judging from the current situation, this monster clearly possesses human-like thoughts."
"So what if it has human thoughts?"
One member of parliament scoffed.
"Are we spending hundreds of billions on military spending every year just to support a bunch of incompetent fools?"
"Let there be peace."
In the corner, a hawkish congressman who had been silent all along coldly uttered three words.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"Only the high temperature and radiation of nuclear weapons could possibly completely eliminate this supernatural creature."
The congressman remained expressionless.
"While the disaster is still contained within the Umbrella Corporation, let's sacrifice Raccoon City to save the entire United States."
"Are you crazy?!"
Morgan was the first to jump up in opposition.
"Have you forgotten the consequences of what happened in Japan?"
"And do you know that we have decades of research results stored under the Umbrella headquarters!"
That's trillions of dollars in assets! And the prototype of the G virus!
"If it explodes, Umbrella is finished!"
"Is your asset more important, or the security of the country?" the senator retorted coldly.
"No! Absolutely not!"
Smith also shook his head.
"Raccoon City has 100,000 civilians! If we drop a nuclear bomb directly, international public opinion will drown us! Who will be responsible for next year's election? You?"
"What should we do then? Are we really going to send troops in to their deaths?"
"negotiation!"
Another dovish MP suggested,
"Since that monster can communicate, it must have desires."
Every person with ideas has weaknesses.
We can give him money, power, and even territory!
"As long as he's willing to leave America and wreak havoc elsewhere, any conditions are negotiable!"
"Negotiating with a demon? What a disgrace!"
"That's better than us all dying together!"
The argument erupted again.
The sounds of slamming tables, shouting, and shirking responsibility mingled together.
Just as these important figures were arguing fiercely...
They were completely unaware that a similar tragedy was unfolding on another surveillance screen.
……
The Umbrella Building has three underground floors.
"ah--!!"
A piercing scream echoed through the enclosed corridor, then abruptly stopped, as if something had forcibly severed the vocal cords.
"Damn it! Damn it! What the hell is this thing?!"
Black Widow had lost all her previous composure and allure.
She was covered in blood, and her prized twin swords were reduced to a broken blade. Her left arm was twisted in a strange way, clearly severed.
She staggered into a laboratory and pressed the emergency lock button with her backhand.
boom!
The heavy alloy door slammed down with a dull thud.
Black Widow slid down to the floor against the door, panting heavily, her chest heaving violently.
Damn it,
Just how many unknown monsters are hidden in this laboratory?
Ten minutes ago, they were chased underground by that fungal tyrant.
They thought that even if there was danger below, they could handle it with their strength.
But who could have imagined it?
Just as they entered the third underground level, they encountered an even more disgusting monster.
The monster had four tentacles covered in barbs, and it moved so fast that its afterimage was not even visible.
Before the Fire Man could even unleash his flames, a tentacle pierced his chest, and he was instantly drained of all his blood.
That scene...
It became a nightmare she would never forget for the rest of her life.
Boom!
A loud bang came from outside the door.
The alloy door suddenly bulged inward.
Black Widow's pupils contracted sharply, and her heart leaped into her throat.
Boom!
Another sound.
The hinges of the door groaned under the strain, and dust began to fall from the cracks.
"This, how is this possible? This is an alloy..."
Black Widow muttered desperately, but before she could finish her sentence...
Shila-
A piercing sound of metal tearing apart rang out.
The next moment, four thick, dark red tentacles pierced the alloy door as easily as cutting tofu.
Immediately afterwards, the tentacles exerted force to both sides.
creak-
As the alloy door was ripped open, a strong, fishy stench wafted out.
A huge figure slowly squeezed in.
Its entire body was covered in thick fungal armor, its head was a blooming man-eating flower, and its four tentacles were wildly waving in the air, with fragments of the Fire Man's tattered combat suit hanging on them.
It has no eyes.
But Black Widow could sense that it was watching her.
That's the look a predator gives its prey.
"No...don't come any closer..."
At this moment, Black Widow was no longer the high and mighty Awakened One, but a helpless woman, trembling as she raised the broken knife, her voice filled with despair.
She is an Awakened One, an elite, and has killed countless enemies and monsters.
But faced with this pure, evolved monster, she felt like a helpless lamb.
Whoosh!
However, her response was to have one of the opponent's tentacles shoot out instantly.
puff.
There is no suspense.
The Black Widow's body was entangled by the tentacles and lifted high into the air.
"Uh...uh..."
She struggled desperately, trying to break free of her restraints.
But before that absolute power, all efforts are in vain.
The barbs on the tentacles pierced her skin, injecting some kind of liquid.
Black Widow's eyes widened suddenly, and her eyeballs instantly became covered with green blood vessels.
Her body began to convulse, and it felt as if countless worms were wriggling under her skin.
In just a few seconds.
Her struggles stopped.
The head split open, and a vibrant fleshy flower bloomed out.
Another new monster has been born.
……
"Oh? It can evolve on its own?"
Sensing what was happening inside the underground laboratory, Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.
He didn't have a system panel, but he could clearly sense that the "cause" he had planted was bearing a terrifying "effect".
The fungal monster underground seemed to have broken through some kind of limit after absorbing the energy of several awakened beings.
It actually began to evolve on its own.
"Not bad, this is finally starting to get interesting."
In fact, it's not just these monsters that are evolving; even the spores that permeate the entire building are gradually spreading outwards.
Those long-accumulated, dense, impenetrable clouds of green spores spread through all the broken windows, ventilation ducts, and cracks...
It surged out with a roar!
……
Raccoon City, temporary resettlement site.
Daida and Sato Saori were huddled in a corner, shivering.
The loud bang and air raid siren had scared them half to death.
Similarly, the entire temporary resettlement site descended into chaos.
"Guys, I have a feeling... I'm doomed?"
Daida Mei secretly started a live stream, and whispered into the phone camera,
"Could I really be that unlucky?"
The chat was flooded with comments.
Be confident, remove the "bar".
[Where older women go, trouble follows; this is an established rule.]
[Run, news anchor! I just saw on the internet that the Pentagon is in complete chaos!]
Just then.
"Cough cough cough..."
A violent coughing sound came from the entrance of the resettlement site.
The silly girl craned her neck to look.
Then they saw that the dozen or so guards at the door were all coughing while covering their throats.
And the cough got worse and worse...
It felt like I was about to pass out.
Among them was the soldier who had just looked at her as if she were a jinx.
"Jerry? What's wrong?"
"Cough cough... I... I don't know..."
Jerry released his grip, revealing a pool of green slime in his palm.
"What is this?" Mike asked, taken aback.
Before his comrades could react...
Jerry suddenly opened his mouth wide, and a large clump of green mycelium gushed out of it.
"Wow--"
Followed by.
His face, neck, arms...
All of Luo Lou's external skin began to ulcerate at a visible rate, growing layers of green down.
"ah!!!"
The surrounding refugees screamed in terror and scattered in all directions.
"Help...help me..."
Jerry reached out to grab Mike, but his fingers were stuck together, turning into a fleshy mass like a duck's webbed foot.
Mike was so frightened that he backed away and sat down on the ground with a thud, his face turning pale.
"This is...this is the curse brought by that woman..."
Mike looked in the direction of Dada Mei with trembling eyes, his eyes filled with despair and fear.
At this moment, Daida Mei was also terrified.
isn't it?
We just said a few words, how could that be a problem?
At this moment, even Daida Mei couldn't help but start to doubt herself.
Could it be that I am truly born with a calamity-attracting body?
At the same time, she noticed a faint green substance, like snowflakes, floating in the air outside the resettlement site.
Those substances drifted down, landing on the streets, on pedestrians, and on every inch of land.
A survivor tainted by substances.
Soon, a terrifying change occurred right under her gaze.
The survivor seemed to have been put on pause.
But soon, he reacted again.
It just... suddenly lunged at the passerby next to it and bit down.
Suddenly, the tragedy in Raccoon City spread throughout the world via various online channels...
