It was still terrifyingly immense, merely opening its giant mouth slightly, from which a foul stench and splashing saliva continuously emerged, making it practically a living, ultimate droplet spreader.
If one had to describe it, the Chaser Tyrant already was very much like the G5 Monster that only a Rinnegan user could summon, but a free-moving version, equipped with 4G network and unlimited Wi-Fi, not the 2G version that could only smash around in place and spew purple dragon souls—!
"Roar roar roar…!!!"
At this point,
The ripped clothes, cough cough… no, the exploded cocoon form of the Pursuer finally raged. Sensing the lingering auras of Jill and Carlos, it immediately pursued them without delay.
Although it no longer had visual organs, it could still track Jill and Carlos through their auras, and with its external brain, its tracking system operated very smoothly.
It wouldn't be like an ordinary T-103 Tyrant,
which might suddenly smoke and explode when facing unexpected situations due to small solid-state drives and memory sticks, coupled with an outdated CPU processor.
However,
facing this behemoth,
it was clear that Jill and Carlos still hadn't realized whether it was truly dead or not. After all, they genuinely hadn't expected the Chaser Tyrant to be so resilient; even after being blasted into that state by the M202A1 Flash four-barreled rocket launcher, it was completely fine.
"Da da da…"
"Beep beep beep… Damn it, why isn't he answering? Is that guy Javier dead from the explosion, or is he still alive…!"
The distinct sound of high heels clacking on the floor rang out. Jill waved her phone around, trying to get a signal, and desperately redialed Javier's number, but still no one answered. This made Jill look very helpless.
Javier was a scoundrel, but he was also her only comrade.
In Raccoon City, she had almost no one she could trust, which was why Jill was anxious to contact Javier, not wanting to be attacked from both sides. But unfortunately… that guy always dropped the ball—
...
Meanwhile,
inside the Raccoon City subway station,
The G Virus Institute's train could connect to the subway station. Javier and the others could take that underground train to the subway station, and then use the subway lines to reach outside the city.
But unfortunately… due to the previous destruction by the G5 Monster, the train Javier and the others were on was already in tatters.
Furthermore, the subway station on the surface of Raccoon City had lost its power supply, so the train was forced to stop midway. Javier and the others had no choice but to get off and walk, and walking inside the subway station was undoubtedly a very dangerous thing.
But in the current situation,
Javier and the others had no choice but to pray that no train would come head-on, or they would truly be crushed into meat paste.
Of course, there was also some bad news here.
That was Ada Wong had left the team. As someone from the FBI… no, Tricell, Ada Wong now needed to deliver the G Virus sample and vaccine. Naturally, it was impossible for her to save Raccoon City with Javier and the others.
So, after a graceful farewell, she hastily left the team, leaving behind only a vanishing silhouette and an enchanting scent.
"..."
"She left…?"
Quietly watching Leon, who walked back dispiritedly,
Javier leaned against the subway tunnel wall and casually asked the naive young man. He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, one he didn't know where it came from, and with that posture, he looked like an uncle who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and seen through the mundane world, indicating he was a veteran.
"Yes,"
"She drifted away like wind and clouds, leaving no trace of attachment. I couldn't grasp the hem of her clothes; I could only watch her slip through my fingers helplessly. Tell me… Javier, do I have no chance?"
Leon, who walked out of the tunnel fork, seemed to have matured. He also leaned against the wall, stretched out his hand to grasp at the air, and sighed with a helpless expression. At this moment, the two men were confiding in each other.
However,
looking at Leon, who had an 'I'm mature now' expression,
Javier unexpectedly raised an eyebrow. "Oh, ho… his vocabulary suddenly increased, didn't it? Did he evolve into a Casanova overnight? Or did he learn this from Brother Ma?"
"It's not that there's no chance,"
"At least… she said thank you to you, didn't she? Chasing women, besides being thick-skinned, also requires persistence. Ada, this thorny rose, is destined to be touched by hand first, and only after bleeding can she be truly touched. So, it's normal for her to be resistant."
Pulling out a lighter specifically for igniting Molotov cocktails from his pocket, Javier lit a cigarette for himself and began to puff smoke as he eloquently lectured Leon. As an old driver with mounting skills, Javier had unique driving techniques for almost any vehicle, something Leon, this naive young man, couldn't learn yet.
Leon might become much more formidable in the future,
after all, he had hooked up with quite a few girls on missions, so he was a beginner driver with a valid reason to start!
"You make it sound so simple,"
"She's a famous FBI agent, always appearing and disappearing like a phantom. How could it be easy to see her? I'm just a small intern police officer; the gap is too big. This might be the last time I get to see her."
Facing Javier's advice, Leon waved his hand dismissively. He naturally understood these principles, but the key issue was… if you can't even see the person, what's the point of rambling? Sunflowers need to face the sun to bloom, but if it's always night, you won't even have a place to put your warm face on a cold butt.
This was Leon's biggest frustration.
However,
hearing this concern,
Javier shook his head disdainfully. "Haven't you two met in secret many times in the game? And you're hiding it from us, not making it public. What's there to regret?" So, Javier, looking like 'Brother, I'm doing this for your own good,' patted Leon's shoulder and seriously explained:
"..."
"First, you've got one thing wrong. Ada Wong isn't some FBI agent, nor is she some secret agent sent by a government agency. She's just an operative, an international spy! Yes! The kind that specializes in infiltrating various organizations to steal classified documents."
"Therefore, Mr. Leon, you've fallen in love with Catwoman Selina Kyle, a master thief whose targets are jewels, antiques, and various precious works of art, not some upright, high-ranking FBI agent."
Without any hesitation,
Javier began to cruelly expose Ada Wong's identity to Leon. Javier had expected Leon to become even more angry or upset from being deceived, but who knew… Boiling Sheep was Boiling Sheep, Black Tiger was Black Tiger, Tom was Tom, and Two-Face Turtle was still that Two-Face Turtle.
Facing Ada Wong's identity,
Leon, though surprised, wasn't angry. Instead, he replied with an indifferent tone:
"Catwoman Selina Kyle, oh… I've seen her. A villainous hero under DC Comics, right? A sexy woman who likes to wear a tight black leather suit, a cat-eared mask, and uses a whip to punish criminals. A master thief who often targets various antiques, jewels, and works of art."
"Her thieving skills are world-class, and she has escaped from Batman's hands many times. She is an intelligent, charming, and mysterious female character. I like her very much. Although she steals antiques and jewels, she is also both good and evil, always supporting and saving Batman when he is in danger, and she is also one of Batman's ambiguous love interests."
"Catwoman Selina Kyle is good. What's the problem with that, Javier?"
Leon replied calmly and composedly.
However,
seeing Leon's impervious attitude, Javier's face immediately darkened. It seemed this kid was deeply poisoned.
"Since you know Catwoman is one of Batman's ambiguous love interests, then Mr. Leon, do you know where the difference between you and Mr. Bruce Wayne, Batman, lies?"
Javier asked with a look of disdain. Today, he planned to cure Leon's hopelessly lovesick brain and see what exactly made him so infatuated.
"Hmm…"
"Is it his handsome face? I admit… Batman Bruce Wayne's handsome and charming face under the mask is indeed something I cannot compare to. After all, the world only knows Batman is cold, mysterious, and handsome, but they don't know that Bruce Wayne inside is even more dashing. But actually, I think my face isn't bad either…"
After pondering for a moment, stroking his chin,
Leon gave an answer that seemed correct, but this answer made Javier's forehead furrow with black lines. This child was beyond saving; only a cannonball could awaken his lovesick brain and narcissistic personality.
"Wrong—!"
"You're not only different from Batman Bruce Wayne in terms of looks, but most importantly, it's money. Do you have money? Do you have American dollars? All the industries in Gotham City belong to the Wayne family. Do you know why Catwoman is Batman's ambiguous love interest?"
"Because he's rich. Catwoman Selina steals antiques and jewels, not only for adventure but also because she loves money. Ada Wong works as an agent and steals classified documents, not only for adventure but also because she loves money. So the gap between you two is not just ordinary large, Mr. Leon."
"Furthermore, the reason Ada has been deceiving you until now is simply to cultivate you into a handy tool, the kind that gets discarded after use. So you're truly pitiful, Leon."
Without any mercy,
Javier subjected Leon to a verbal mental attack. But then, a sudden turn of events, seeing that the matter was almost done, Javier took out the black-red heart rose business card from his pocket again, a casual smirk playing on his lips, and asked faintly:
"But, whether the gap is big or not depends on your willingness. Even if Ada deceived you, if you still insist on pursuing her, then I admire your courage, Leon. Here's the business card Ada gave me earlier; it might contain the only clue to contact Ada. Do you… want it?"
Indeed,
all the groundwork led to this.
This was Javier's true purpose: to sell the business card in his hand!
"..."
"Yes… of course I want it, but… are you sure this is for me?"
After some hesitation, Leon still accepted the business card, but looking at the black-red heart rose business card in Javier's hand, Leon asked with a suspicious and uncertain expression. After all, generally speaking… Javier wouldn't be such a good person.
"Of course, Leon,"
"This is for you, but since this business card isn't an ordinary one, but one taken from Ada's deep V neckline, it not only has Ada's contact information but also a charming, intoxicating body scent. Not to mention tasting a bit, just smelling it will prolong your life. It costs ten thousand US dollars. Are you sure you don't want it?"
Undoubtedly, Javier had never been a good person. Taking a deep sniff of the business card, as if his words were true, Javier directly threw out his bottom price.
This made Leon immediately cover his head. Not only Leon, but Claire, Catherine, and Lisa, the three women who had been forgotten and were standing nearby, also looked on with contempt and disgust. What kind of foul transaction were these two people conducting?
But facing the disgusted stares,
Javier had long been immune to such mental attacks and continued to tirelessly tempt Leon. Unfortunately, Leon wanted to buy it… but he only had 3,000 US dollars in his pockets, which was his living expenses. Where would he get ten thousand?
For this poor guy, Javier could only snatch all 3,000 US dollars from his hand and say with a look of disdain:
"Remember to pay the rest, and here's 10 US dollars for your bus fare home. I'll reluctantly sell you this fragrant black-red heart rose business card at a low price."
After speaking,
Javier threw the business card and a crumpled ten-dollar bill to Leon. But Leon didn't mind at all; he still caught the business card as if it were a treasure. However, when Leon held the business card and sniffed it slightly with his nose, he found that there was no so-called body scent on it, but a strong smell of sweat. Leon immediately asked Javier, this unscrupulous merchant, with an angry tone:
"Wait, why does it all smell like sweat? Where's the body scent?!"
And facing the consumer's complaint,
Javier decisively chose to ignore it and replied indifferently with a cross-bounce gesture:
"You bought it too late. It had it when Ada Wong just took it out of her deep V neckline and handed it to me, but it got contaminated by my sweat after I ran around with it in my pocket. All I can say is… goods are subject to the actual product, and our shop is domineering; we refuse returns on sold items!"
Facing this answer,
Leon's anger flared up, and he raised his size 42 foot, giving Javier a fierce kick in the butt! Damn it!
Chapter 38: Cunning Silver Wolf
After a farce ended,
the group returned to the main topic. Although the charming body scent was gone, Leon still cherished it as a treasure. After all, this black-red heart rose business card was truly the only clue he had to contact Ada Wong, so he didn't carelessly throw it away.
But regarding this,
Javier still secretly chuckled, covering his mouth. Given Ada's personality, there was an 80% chance this business card was fake, or it was originally a business card of a Tricell executive, because Ada would never recommend herself to others in this way; she had her own unique way of socializing.
However, it also didn't rule out that Ada truly appreciated Javier and was genuinely willing to provide a pseudo-contact method that could be temporarily reached, as Javier was quite competent and reliable as a partner—
Therefore,
the drop rate, after all,
would ultimately depend on Leon's own luck.
After dealing with these trivial matters, Javier, Leon, and the others continued walking towards the subway tunnel exit. It was already late, and the news that Raccoon City couldn't control the virus spread would soon spread to the United States Government's ears.
After some embellishment,
the United States Government would then use the uncontrollable bio-virus in Raccoon City as an excuse and would not send a large army to support and clear the area, but instead choose to simply bomb it with a nuclear missile, because this method was very convenient and simple.
Furthermore, it was mostly Umbrella Corporation's influence at play, because a nuclear bomb… could destroy a lot of evidence, allowing Umbrella Corporation to temporarily stabilize the situation.
Conversely, if there was no nuclear bombing,
but a patient encirclement, the evidence exposed in Raccoon City, would cause Umbrella Corporation to completely collapse, without even a shred of room for survival.
So,
Javier and the others had to leave Raccoon City quickly, as this was their main objective—!
...
Meanwhile. after Jill cautiously arrived at the Raccoon City subway station,
She indeed found quite a few survivors inside. Some members of U.B.C.S. had used corrugated iron to block many entrances and exits, making it difficult for zombies to enter the subway station. As long as the subway train could successfully operate, they could successfully escape Raccoon City.
