Samsara Space: They're all begging me to heal them one more time.

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

Amidst a series of explosions behind them, the four stumbled and rushed out of the elevator.

Before me lay a massive underground platform. A silver monorail train sat silently on the tracks, its Umbrella logo gleaming brightly in the red warning light.

"That's... an evacuation train!"

Li Mo was so excited he almost cried. Carrying the nearly exhausted Shirley on his back, he was the first to rush into the carriage.

"Don't get too excited yet! Start it up first!"

Zhang Yuan grabbed the blond-haired guy who was about to get into the car. "You go to the control room! Fatty, you go to the back and guard the door! Li Mo and I will take care of settling Shirley in!"

"receive!"

The group split up and took action separately.

Huang Mao rushed into the driver's seat and was dumbfounded when he saw the rows of complicated instrument panels.

"This...this doesn't even have a keyhole?!" He was sweating profusely and could only press the buttons that looked like start buttons randomly.

"Beep—Authentication failed."

The cold, electronic voice nearly drove him to despair.

"let me."

Just then, a calm voice came from the doorway.

Zhang Yuan strode into the driver's seat, raised his left hand, revealing the [Advanced ID Wristband] he had stolen from Ada.

"Beep—Access confirmed. Train system activated. Engine warming up..."

"Holy crap! Yuan-ge is awesome!" The blond guy's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "You can even start this thing?!"

"Stop talking nonsense, keep your eyes on the dashboard, push the lever when the green light comes on!" Zhang Yuan didn't have time to explain and turned to rush to the back of the carriage.

That was the last line of defense guarded by the fat man.

"BOOM—!!"

Suddenly, a loud crash came from the tunnel overhead, as large chunks of concrete slammed onto the train's roof with a sickeningly loud thud.

"Brother Yuan! Something seems to have fallen down from above!" The fat man held up the shield, which was now only half intact, his voice trembling.

Zhang Yuan rushed to the back of the car and looked out through the rear window.

Deep within the tunnel leading to the Mother Nest Laboratory, a massive, still-burning, flesh-red object was writhing toward them at an astonishing speed.

It was no longer recognizable as human. It was an abomination forcibly fused together from countless pieces of flesh, tentacles, and unburnt bones. At the very top of that mass of rotten flesh, a huge, iconic G-virus eyeball was staring intently in the direction of the train, with half of a tyrant's expressionless gray face embedded beside it.

The G virus did not die. Or rather, although William's consciousness dissipated, the virus's instinct for survival and evolution, after devouring the tyrant's powerful body, evolved into an even more terrifying form.

【GT Hybrid】

[Danger Level: C+ (Incalculable)]

【Characteristics: Infinite proliferation, Flesh Mountain form.】

[Note: Conventional attacks are ineffective. Please seek a devastating attack sufficient to completely destroy its cellular activity.]

"What the hell is this thing?!"

Looking at the mountain of flesh that almost filled the entire tunnel, Zhang Yuan felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.

This isn't a living thing; it's clearly a moving natural disaster!

"Awooo—!!"

The mountain of flesh let out a roar mixed with countless screams, and countless tentacles lashed out like whips, striking the rear of the train hard.

Clang!

The entire train shook violently, and the sheet metal at the rear of the train was torn apart like paper.

"Drive! Yellow Hair! Drive now!!" Zhang Yuan roared into the walkie-talkie.

"It moved! It moved!!"

With a humming sound of the motor starting up, the train finally started moving slowly and began to accelerate.

But this was still too slow for that enormous monster. Its countless tentacles clung tightly to the edge of the carriage, its massive body slowly climbing up the train. The heavy weight caused the train wheels to slip, emitting a screeching sound.

"It's trying to stop the car! We can't let it get on!"

Zhang Yuan's eyes reddened. "Fatty! Throw everything else out of your bag! Anything that can explode, throw it all!"

"No...no more, Brother Yuan! We just threw all the grenades!" The fat man was so anxious he was almost crying.

"Then let's use this one!"

Zhang Yuan pulled out his last ultimate weapon from his backpack—the two boxes of high-purity gunpowder that he hadn't finished using.

Without time to synthesize bullets, Zhang Yuan simply stuffed two boxes of gunpowder into an empty first-aid spray canister to make a makeshift explosive charge.

"Li Mo! Can you shoot at a moving target?"

Zhang Yuan handed the improvised explosive device to the fat man, then looked at the bespectacled man hiding in the corner.

"I...I'll try!" Li Mo leaned against the carriage wall, his hands trembling like someone with Parkinson's disease.

"Listen, I'll lure it away, and Fatty's going to throw this thing into its big mouth! It has to go in!"

"Then Li Mo, you only have one mission—you must hit this explosive charge and blow that son of a bitch to smithereens!"

"Did you understand?!"

"I understand... I get it! x2"

Zhang Yuan took a deep breath, picked up the grenade launcher that had been completely emptied of ammunition, and charged towards the gap at the rear of the vehicle that had been torn open by the tentacles.

"Hey! Ugly duckling! Look this way!!"

He brandished the grenade launcher, even activating [Weapon Blessing] just to increase his strength and prevent himself from being blown away by the wind, standing on the edge of the carriage and taunting wildly.

"roar!!"

The enormous mouth, adorned with the face of a tyrant, roared, and countless tentacles swept towards Zhang Yuan.

"Now! Throw it!!"

The fat man seized the opportunity, used all his strength, his fat trembling, and slammed the makeshift bomb hard into the monster's mouth.

Perhaps the pressure of life and death unleashed his potential; this throw was incredibly accurate, flying directly into the roaring maw of the abyss!

"shot!!"

boom!

The Glock in Li Mo's hand clicked.

The bullet pierced the spray canister, igniting the high-purity gunpowder inside.

Boom! ...

A muffled explosion rang out inside the monster.

Although the gunpowder was not powerful enough to kill such a huge monster, the violent internal explosion instantly destroyed the tentacles that were clinging to the carriage.

"Aww—"

The monster's body stiffened abruptly, and its countless tentacles loosened helplessly.

At that moment, the train finally picked up speed.

whoosh-

Like a silver lightning bolt, the train instantly shook off the massive mountain of flesh and rushed towards the bright exit ahead.

Watching the terrifying figure disappear rapidly into the distance, the four of them collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their faces filled with relief at surviving such a disaster.

"It's over...it's finally over..." the fat man muttered to himself.

"not yet."

Zhang Yuan looked at the countdown on his watch.

【00: 10】

"Hold on tight! We're leaving!"

As the countdown reached zero, the train roared out of the tunnel.

The next second, a deafening roar came from behind.

The entire underground laboratory in Raccoon City, along with the immortal monster, turned to ashes in a dazzling white light.

The powerful shockwave propelled the train wildly along the tracks, as if it were about to fly into the sky.

Amidst the blinding white light, Zhang Yuan heard that long-awaited, heavenly system notification:

[Evacuation completed.]

[Main quest "Escape from the City of Despair" progress updated.]

[The train to the heavens is about to return.]
