The Savior of American Comics? I'm the Subspace Evil God!

Chapters 460, 836, and 837: [Beta Type Licker]

"Hey..."

With a weak gasp, Gilles Valentian, who had been dead for more than three hours, miraculously opened his eyes again.

And her lower body, which had been blasted by the energy cannon, regrowed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This scene nearly shattered the worldviews of both Leon and Sheva Allom.

Although Leon had already heard about the wonders of the "Resurrection Potion" from Rebecca, seeing is believing.

When he witnessed this amazing scene with his own eyes, he was still deeply shocked.

Can the dead be brought back to life, and flesh and bones restored?
This kind of 'treasure' that only appears in legends and stories actually exists?
Is this the true essence of the [Subspace Group]?
How terrible!
Today, Lyon truly realized the power and terror of the [Subspace Group].

It seems that whether it was the Titan Security Forces, which shone brightly in the battles against the Titans and Kaiju, or the Thunder Warriors Chapter, which crushed the alien invaders and hellish demons, these were all just the tip of the iceberg that the Warp Corporation deliberately showed to the outside world.

[Subspace Group] must have even more powerful trump cards up its sleeve!
Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Rebecca, who was also deeply shocked.

If it weren't for the other party, both he and Jill would probably have been doomed this time!
What he didn't know was that Rebecca's admiration for her boss had reached its peak at this moment.

As expected of the Boss, YYDS!!
"Leon, Rebecca..."

Having just regained his senses and still somewhat bewildered, Gilles Valentian's face immediately showed a touch of sadness upon seeing the two familiar figures before him, and he said in a slightly choked voice:
"My God, is this hell? Why are you all here...?"

Leon and Rebecca slowly crouched down, and Leon said with a look of overjoyed joy, "Jill, this is wonderful! You...you actually came back to life? This is amazing!"

Rebecca rushed over and hugged Jill tightly, "Waaah, Jill, I'm so glad you're okay."

"Leon, Rebecca..."

Jill stared blankly at the two people in front of her, then at her hands, her lower body which had been shattered by the energy cannon but had miraculously recovered, and the powerful pressure from Rebecca on her chest. She exclaimed in disbelief:
"Wait a minute, how come I'm not dead yet? I was clearly killed by the air support that mysterious person called for."

“Yes, you have indeed died once.” Leon grinned, then looked at Rebecca, who was hugging Jill and crying tears of joy, and said:

"You were able to come back to life entirely thanks to Rebecca. If it weren't for her bringing the resurrection potion from the Subspace Group, I'm afraid even Sheva and I would have died here this time."

Leon then succinctly recounted the events that had occurred since Jill's death, and finally, he didn't forget to truthfully inform Jill of the 'conditional exchange' for using the [Resurrection Potion].

"Leon, thank you for everything you've done for me. I owe you a huge favor."

Jill was deeply moved. She never expected that Leon would go to such lengths for her, and she never imagined that there was such a miraculous drug in the world that could bring people back to life.

Although these things sound like a fantasy, they really happened to her, so much so that she had no choice but to believe them.

"And you, Rebecca, I really don't know how to thank you enough..."

Jill raised her hand to wipe away the tears from Rebecca's eyes, a genuine smile spreading across her face. "Like Leon, I'm willing to join the [Subspace Group]."

As Leon just said, Jill knows all too well that this "resurrection potion" that can bring people back to life must be extremely valuable.

If it weren't for Rebecca, a senior researcher, mediating, and the fact that she and the other two seemed to have some use, the [Subspace Group] probably wouldn't have used such precious medicine to save someone as insignificant as her.

Jill isn't stupid; she naturally has some sense of right and wrong and knows when to stop while she's ahead.

However, Jill then seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Leon with a nervous expression, saying:

“Leon, we must stop Wesker’s evil deeds as soon as possible... Also, Chris is still in his hands.”

"I know."

Leon nodded with a complicated expression, then softly comforted him, "Your body has only just recovered, and it's not the right time to think about these things. Whether it's stopping Wesker or saving Chris, just leave it all to me."

"Your only task now is to focus on recovering from your injury."

Then, Leon turned to Rebecca beside him and said, "Rebecca, Jill is in your hands now. I'm going to the research institute with those [Thunder Warriors] to see what secrets they're hiding there!"

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of Jill."

Rebecca nodded seriously, then said with a hint of mystery, "Leon, these [Plague-Free] warriors are very strong, so you must protect yourself!"

hum-

At Rebecca's instruction, the [Plague-Free] warrior responsible for her safety used the [Teleportation Gun] to open a small portal. Rebecca then helped Jill into the portal first, and Sheva Arom thought for a moment, said "Take care" to Leon, and followed the two into the portal.

Just before the portal closed, Leon could faintly hear Sheva Allom cautiously speaking to Rebecca:
"Um... Senior Rebecca, may I also join the [Subspace Group]?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not too sure about that either. It seems that outsiders need to pass a specific test to join the [Subspace Group]... But after I've made arrangements for Jill, I can ask the relevant person in charge for you."

"Thank you so much, Rebecca-senpai..."

Hearing their conversation, Leon felt a mix of emotions.

No one knew Sheva Arom's abilities better than him. The two worked together seamlessly, overcoming all obstacles along the way. Sheva Arom could definitely be considered an elite-level agent.

But Rebecca did not express the same clear intention to recruit him as she had with him and Jill.

From this perspective, it seems that the [Subspace Group] is not needed by everyone.

Without an introduction from someone you know, it seems quite difficult for outsiders to join.

I just don't know what exactly the Boss Rebecca was talking about saw in me, Jill, and Chris.
"Mr. Lyon, are you really going to come with us into the underground research facility?"

At this moment, the captain of the [Plague-Free Squad] looked at Leon and asked a question before the official operation.

"Yes."

Leon nodded humbly and said, "I have been involved in the anti-biochemical KB war for many years and am quite familiar with all kinds of viruses. Maybe I can be of some help to you."

"Ok."

The captain of the Plague-Free Team didn't refuse. Instead, he pulled a high-tech gas mask from a team member's tactical backpack and handed it to Leon, saying:
"Then Mr. Lyon, you must stay close to us later, otherwise we might not be able to keep an eye on your safety during the battle." Keep an eye on my safety?

No, what do you take me for?

I am the dignified 'Li Sanguang', what kind of situation haven't I experienced?

Lyon took the gas mask with a strange expression, examined it, and found it to be far superior to the simple gas masks he and Sheva Arom had previously worn.

This [Subspace Group] is truly incredibly wealthy!
I just don't know if these high-tech gas masks can effectively filter out leaked viruses.

However, Leon then looked around at the members of the [Plague-Free Squad] who were taking no protective measures whatsoever, and asked with some confusion:

"Captain, excuse me, don't you wear gas masks?"

The captain of the COVID-free team said dismissively, "We don't need these things. These gas masks are specially prepared by the company for those being rescued."

After saying that, the captain led the other two captains toward the entrance of the Biochemical Research Institute.

Feeling like he'd run into a show-off, Leon had no choice but to jog to catch up with the three of them and together they entered the research institute.

After entering the research institute, the group of four began to move forward in an orderly manner along the corridor.

On the walls on both sides of the corridor, deep grooves were carved out by the claws of some kind of huge monster.

This reminded Leon of some Lickers he had killed during previous missions, but he couldn't be entirely sure whether the BOWs appearing here were Lickers.

Soon, all the rooms on both sides of the corridor were searched. In one of the rooms, Leon found several "Sun Ladder Flowers" being cultivated in special glass containers using an unknown nutrient solution.

Lyon remarked with a touch of melancholy, "Although I don't know what [Trassell Pharmaceuticals] is up to here... I have a feeling they might be using these special plants to create bioweapons!"

"It might be related to that [Ouroboros virus]."

The captain of the Plague-Free team glanced at him and then said calmly, "According to information gathered by the company's internal intelligence department, this plant is called the 'Sun Ladder Flower,' and it was originally used by the 'Umbrella Corporation' to extract the 'Progenitor Virus.'"

"What? The [Progenitor Virus] was actually extracted from these flowers?"

Upon hearing this, Leon's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the [Sun Ladder Flowers].

Although he had already guessed from Rebecca's fragmented words that these plants were likely related to some kind of virus developed by the Umbrella Corporation, he never expected it to be the Progenitor Virus.

In fact, Lyon was no stranger to the Progenitor Virus.

Even after the collapse of Umbrella Corporation, the BSAA obtained some information about the Progenitor Virus from a large number of documents seized from its headquarters and various laboratories.

The T-virus, which previously caused the destruction of Raccoon City, and the subsequent G-virus, were all developed and improved based on this progenitor virus.

Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the Progenitor Virus played a decisive and crucial role in the development of viruses by the Umbrella Corporation.

The BSAA organization had previously tried its best to find out the origin of the Progenitor Virus, but after investigation, it was discovered that the only person who seemed to know the truth was Oswell Edward Spencer, the founder of the Umbrella Corporation.

It was for this reason that Chris and Jill rushed to the castle as soon as they heard about Oswell Edward Spencer's location two years ago.

However, no one could have imagined that what the top leaders of the BSAA organization had been dreaming of would be presented to Lyon in this way today.

Lyon couldn't help but wonder if, had he known this news a few hours earlier, the BSAA headquarters would still have refused his request for medical assistance.
The answer is self-evident...

Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling somewhat sorry for Chris and Jill.

This kind of BSAA is truly utterly disappointing!

"Be alert."

Just as Leon was lost in thought, the captain of the Plague-Free people beside him saw the pool of blood on the ground ahead and the remains of a corpse that had been torn to pieces by some monster. He immediately gave the order to be on alert.

Lyon also became wary.

squeak-

The four continued forward, and soon found some white mice, each as big as a calf, in an iron cage on the right side of the corridor.

Upon seeing someone approaching, the mice suddenly became ferocious and began ramming their bodies against the iron cage that imprisoned them, producing a series of muffled thuds.

"How did these mice become so huge?"

Leon's pupils contracted slightly, but before he could ask how to deal with these enormous white rats, a Plague-Free Warrior beside him pulled out a Plague Pistol from his thigh and pulled the trigger on the rats' heads.

bang bang bang-

In just a few breaths, more than a dozen huge white mice died instantly, each with a charred, bloody hole punched through its head, and a pungent, fishy stench immediately filled the passage.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Leon's pupils contracted sharply. He hadn't expected these super soldiers to be so decisive, acting without the slightest hesitation.

wow-

Just then, the glass curtain wall in front of the passage was suddenly smashed by several huge figures. Then, five monsters with human-sized outlines, but which had lost all human features and had no skin, with their bulging dark red muscles and brains exposed to the air, and which moved forward like animals using sharp claws and limbs, all sprang out from a small laboratory behind the glass curtain wall.

"Watch out, those are [Beta Lickers]!!!"

Upon seeing this, Leon reacted instinctively, drawing his gun and retreating in one fluid motion, trying to give the three "Plague-Free" individuals in front of him ample space to engage and retreat.

However, the three [Plague-Free Individuals] blocking his path were like three mountains, leaving him no angle to shoot. Left with no other option, he could only shout a warning:

"Everyone, please don't be careless. Although their eyes have completely degenerated and they have lost their sight, their hearing is exceptionally strong, and their long tongues can pierce through their prey's body like spears. We must not be careless..."

Almost at the same time Lyon opened his mouth, the five [β-type Lickers] opposite him pounced on the three [Plague-Free]s walking at the front from three different directions: the ground, the wall, and the ceiling.
