Marvel's Death Merchant

Calling headquarters... We are STERS 2nd Assault Team. The crossroads has been breached, resulting in heavy casualties. We are currently retreating towards the city police station and request vehicle or helicopter assistance.

Headquarters, headquarters, this is UBCS Support Team 6. Raccoon City has begun to fall completely. We request to terminate the mission. Hello... Hello, can headquarters hear us? If you can, please reply quickly.

One communication after another reached Evan's ears outside the city, but he chose to ignore and avoid them. He even cut off all signals that could communicate with the troops inside the city and turned on the signal jamming device to prevent the situation inside the city from being spread through other means. After all, the "disinfection" work would begin soon.

At this moment, a fat figure paced anxiously back and forth in the chief's office at the city police department. This was Richard, the current chief of the Raccoon City Police Department. Currently, the police department had suffered casualties of more than two-thirds of its officers, leaving less than a third remaining. However, most of these remaining officers were scattered in other corners of the city. Fortunately, members of various UBCs and STERS squads were gradually gathering at his location. These people, when gathered together, formed a very powerful force capable of creating a defensive force outside the police station. Many civilians who had previously fled here were placed in the city government building opposite the police station. Many high-ranking government officials had already disappeared (secretly taken away by Umbrella), leaving only low-level office staff to look after these civilians.

At that moment, a woman dressed in blue, with her breasts almost bursting out of her chest, her face adorned with smoky makeup, and two silver M9 pistols strapped to her chest, quickly entered the director's office. This woman was Jill, who had been working there for four years.

Pushing open the door to the chief's office, Jill couldn't help but burst into laughter at the sight of the chief's chubby figure pacing back and forth. Richard, seeing Jill laughing so happily, could only say helplessly, "Jill, what kind of time is this to still be laughing? We've left the whole Raccoon City mess on our shoulders."

Jill wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes from laughing, and then replied, "Chief, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you could have gone with Umbrella's men earlier and wouldn't have had to deal with this troublesome matter now."

Richard returned to his seat, straightened his clothes, and said, "I've been the police chief for almost twenty years. While I wouldn't dare say I've achieved anything remarkable, I've at least done right by the 700,000-plus residents of Raccoon City. Now, to abandon them is something my conscience simply cannot allow." They were unaware that the real danger had begun, and the biohazard crisis would continue to erupt.

After hearing this, Jill's playful expression disappeared: "It's because you still have such principles that I've worked under you for so many years. Otherwise, I would have left long ago. Now, at least I should help you share some of the burden. By the way... I've already arranged the defenses outside. Hopefully, they can hold off those 'monsters' for a while. I'll take a few more people to check if there are any other survivors around."

Meanwhile, a large portion of Raccoon City's civilians had gathered at the city gate, many shouting, "Open the gate and let us out! The city is full of monsters; you have no right to lock us in!"

The more timid residents pleaded in a low voice, "Please, please open the door and let us out, or we'll all die here."

Some residents with children said, "It's fine if you don't let us go out, but at least let these children go out, right?"

The soldiers on the wall and the Umbrella mercenaries looked at the children and began to feel sorry for them. Their eyes were all focused on Evan, the CEO of Umbrella Raccoon City, who was standing to the side. But Evan only said one sentence: "You have ten seconds to retreat to Raccoon City and wait for rescue. If you have not retreated after ten seconds, kill you all without mercy. All soldiers, prepare your weapons and aim."

The soldiers and mercenaries on the wall could only pull back the safety on their guns and aim them at the crowded civilians below. Even though there were many children and women among them, their hearts were with the people, but they could not disobey orders, because their duty was to obey.

Evan began counting numbers on the wall: "Ten...nine...eight...seven...six...five."

When the count reached five, the civilians below the wall still didn't believe that they would actually shoot at them, which made them seem so ignorant and foolish. However, some of the smarter ones had already begun to slowly retreat because they realized that this was serious.

Time began to pass until Evan counted to one, and with a firing signal, countless light and heavy firepower on the wall unleashed merciless flames upon the unarmed men.

Screams, cries of despair, and terror filled the area outside the city walls. Rows of civilians fell, and only then did the residents realize their mistake. They fled desperately, only to be trampled by the strong men on the walls. The mercenaries manipulating the fire on the walls had tears streaming down their faces, some even seeming to have been driven to madness. They continued firing even after the crowd had fled far away, their guns empty, still pulling the triggers until the conscious team members nearby stopped them in time.

It was already late at night, and the constant gunfire and howls coming from the city walls startled the remaining humans in Raccoon City. Almost everyone looked incredulously toward the city walls, where firelight illuminated the surrounding area. It seemed as if they could still see groups of humans heading toward the city center, but what awaited them were savage, drooling Corruptors who had gathered from every corner of the city, forming an unbelievable giant sack, waiting for their dinner.

Finally, when these retreating humans felt safe, countless Corruptors began to surge out of the streets and buildings from all directions, all with lewd and ferocious expressions, rushing towards the group of humans. The group of humans began to become numb. First, they were slaughtered by other humans, and now they encountered these monsters. Many of them felt that it would be better to die.

But just then, gunshots began to ring out all around, growing louder and louder. It turned out that the UBCS, STARs, and remaining police officers who had been abandoned in the city earlier had come to rescue them, because they believed that they still had some blood and humanity left. Among the bravest of them were our old acquaintances Liu Chendong, Alice, Leon, Ada, and the newly appeared Jill. Oh, and there's one more who's about to appear: Claire.

The stark contrast between the horde of zombies, the civilians, and the UBCS, STARs, and police officers who came to the rescue was striking. The zombie horde continued to devour the surrounding civilians, while the human forces that arrived from afar fought fiercely against the zombies who were blocking their way, engaging in close combat. Some sniper squads that were unable to retreat or come down from the high-rise buildings could only provide some distant support by sniping from their vantage points.

Liu Chendong and Alice had returned home after the previous battle, thinking they could finally relax a bit. But before they could rest for long, a lot of gunfire erupted from the city gates. They immediately realized that a truly terrifying atmosphere was about to spread throughout Raccoon City. They quickly armed themselves up and rushed over to investigate. Just as they had sensed, a large number of retreating civilians were surrounded by hordes of corpses surging out from all sides. They immediately pulled the safety on their guns and charged forward.

Leon and Ada, leading the remaining troops, returned from Eighth Avenue. The entire route was littered with traces of battles between hordes of zombies and other human armed groups, and littered with all sorts of missing limbs and corpses. The downtown intersection was even more gruesome, with people looking like livestock being butchered in a slaughterhouse. Just as they were about to head to the police station, they found a large crowd fleeing towards them. They were gradually surrounded by hordes of zombies that emerged from the surrounding area, and had no choice but to risk their lives to act as defenders.

Jill, along with several officers, came out to scout the city. Suddenly, hordes of Corruptors burst out of a building ahead and gathered in one place. The coordinated actions of the large number of Corruptors aroused Jill's suspicion and shock. She and her squad followed them and ended up witnessing this spectacle. Unable to bear it any longer, Jill, acting on her duty as a police officer and with her remaining humanity, ordered the rest of her squad to join the fray.

On the second floor of a World Health Organization office not far away, a woman with a ponytail, delicate features, and wearing an orange vest, was carefully making her way along the wall of the corridor, holding a wrench in her hand.

In the afternoon, a group of corrosives suddenly rushed into their office, grabbing and biting anyone they encountered. Luckily, they were in the toilet at the time and, hearing the screams and shouts, stayed in the toilet in fear, thus escaping unscathed. When they cautiously emerged from the toilet, they encountered an infected colleague in the hallway.

Chapter 784 Collision of Parallel Universes (14)

Claire, unaware that her colleague was infected, began calling out to him softly. But after calling for a while, he remained motionless, seemingly lifeless. Just as Claire was about to go check on him, he suddenly turned around, startling her so much that she stumbled backward and fell heavily to the ground. Before she could even feel the pain in her buttocks, she was already horrified by the sight before her. Half of his face was gone, revealing a skeletal face with bits of flesh and blood. Upon seeing this living human, the skeletal face slowly and deliberately moved towards her, as if it had found a favorite toy or food, growling softly as it moved.

This had become the Corruptor's colleague, approaching Claire, who was sitting on the ground, step by step. Claire, instinctively fearful, used her hands to support herself on the floor behind her and slowly moved forward. The Corruptor saw that his beloved was moving with him, but he could not touch her. He was obviously very unhappy. His growl changed from a low growl to a loud roar, and his movement speed increased a few points. In this way, he forced Claire into a corner against the wall.

Claire, with nowhere left to retreat, clutched the wrench she had picked up at the crossroads earlier. Bravely, she stood up, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and swung the wrench at the approaching Corruptor. With her eyes closed, Claire felt her hand hit a heavy object, but the object fell to the ground after she struck it.

Claire slowly opened her eyes, stunned by her own masterpiece. With a single swing, she had pried open the half-exposed skull of the Corruptor in front of her and damaged its brain. The Corruptor had been unexpectedly dealt with by what she had previously considered a weak and powerless "food and toy".

Recovering from the harrowing experience, Claire didn't linger in fear like most people. Instead, she went to her former supervisor's private office, secured it, and locked the door. Then, she began to rack her brains, trying to figure out what had happened. Listening to the screams and faint gnawing sounds coming from outside the office window, Claire realized this wasn't a simple terrorist attack. If it were a pure terrorist attack, the government, police, and military would have been able to control it long ago. Why was the attack still going on after so much time?

No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't guess what had led to what was happening now. She could only look out the office window to see what was going on. However, Claire saw scenes of chaos, horror, cruelty and bloodshed on the street. Suddenly, her stomach churned mercilessly, and the food she had eaten at noon kept rushing up into her throat uncontrollably. Helplessly, she could only vomit into the trash can next to her.

A few minutes later, Claire's stomach was empty. After the previous high tension and battle, coupled with the vomiting, her spirits began to wane. Her eyelids began to droop involuntarily, and her body's functions naturally entered a dormant state. Before long, she collapsed on the floor and fell asleep.

The surviving humans on the street kept retreating, while the human police and the makeshift defensive firepower groups led by Leon, Ada, and Jill were distributed around the citizens, painstakingly escorting these survivors step by step to the "City Hall," the last human stronghold in Raccoon City. Liu Chendong and Alice chose to attract the attention of some of the Corrupted Ones and lead them to another street in the opposite direction, because there was a huge entertainment supermarket there, which was more convenient for their movements and daily life. After all, the two of them could not return to their homes for the time being. The Corrupted Ones on the street had changed from scattered patches to now converging in hordes of corpses, densely filling the street.

Liu Chendong and Alice drove their red Lamborghini through the retreating streets, firing grenades from their M16A4 automatic grenade launchers at intervals, attracting hordes of zombies to their vehicle. Along the way, they had already smashed through countless scattered Corruptors, and the hood and bumper of the car were so badly damaged that their original shapes were no longer recognizable.

When the vehicle was about 300 meters away from the entertainment supermarket called Hip Hop, the road ahead was completely covered and submerged by the horde of zombies, leaving them no choice but to stop. After observing the surrounding environment, they found that there was only a World Health Organization office about 20 meters to their right that they could temporarily hide in. Most of the surrounding buildings were tightly closed, and it was impossible for the two of them to try to open each one. Moreover, the narrow area was not conducive to their mobility and concealment. In addition, with pursuers behind and danger ahead, the only option they had was the World Health Organization office.

After a brief observation and decision-making process, the two quickly grabbed their weapon pouches and a small amount of food, abandoned the vehicle, and ran rapidly into the reception hall on the first floor of the World Health Organization office. Upon arriving, they found only a few scattered Corruptors wandering around. Alice handed her weapon pouch and food bag to Liu Chendong, slung her M16A4 across her shoulder, engaged the safety on her own gun, and slowly approached the nearest Corruptor with a military knife slung over her thigh. Before the Corruptor could react, the knife's blade pierced through the back of its head. Alice then used her best military combat skills to take down the other six.

Seeing that Alice was only using a military knife and hand-to-hand combat to deal with the Corruptors, but not using the more powerful guns in her hand, Liu Chendong understood Alice's intention after thinking for a few seconds. After all, it was unknown how many Corruptors were still in the World Health Organization office. Using guns would create an echo and a loud noise in the building, attracting other Corruptors. If the horde of zombies that was gradually arriving later were added to the mix, it would be a huge loss, and the two of them might soon perish here.

After Alice finished dealing with all the Corruptors in the hall, Liu Chendong tossed her an M9 pistol with a silencer and said lazily, "We still need to search the rooms inside. The dangers are unknown, so it's safer to take this pistol. If you get killed, there will be no one to protect me."

Chapter 785 Collision of Parallel Universes (15)

Alice felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing these words, and memories began to surface involuntarily. During the years she had worked for Umbrella Security, no one had treated her as a woman, a friend, or a colleague, but rather as a highly professional mercenary, a dispensable mercenary. Little did they know that even mercenaries need a touch of warmth and care, even if it's just a small word of advice.

The boy in front of me, however, showed concern for me in a seemingly indifferent tone, which made me feel a little strange towards this boy who was 4 years younger than me.

Alice replied in a nonchalant tone, "I'm not going to meet God or turn into one of those monsters so soon. After all, I have a fortune to spare, and I'm waiting to go on a vacation in the Pacific after this crisis is over."

While the two were talking, Claire, who had been sleeping in the office, slowly woke up.

When Claire woke up, she felt her eyelids were incredibly heavy. The vomiting she had just experienced left her feeling both hungry and thirsty. She had only a tiny bit of strength left to support her as she struggled to get up from the ground, leaning against the wall. She then plopped heavily onto a chair next to her and began to gently massage her temples in an attempt to clear her head, but to little avail.

After regaining some clarity, Claire walked to the door and observed the activity through the slightly parted curtains. Through the observation, she could only see the messy staff desks and chairs and scraps of paper scattered all over the floor. She did not find any trace of the "walking zombie" that had attacked her earlier. She began to carefully open the door, still holding the wrench that had served her well before. She moved slowly along the wall towards the stairs, but still made a slight noise.

At this point, Liu Chendong and Alice, having finished their conversation, intended to search the first floor before considering going up to the second floor. However, they heard a slight movement coming from the second floor, which made them more alert. They decided to temporarily abandon their search and go up to the second floor to see what was going on.

As they ascended the stairs to the second floor, Alice adopted a common gun-holding posture used by the military. Her right hand gripped an M9 pistol equipped with a silencer, pointing forward, while her left hand held a military knife tightly against the pistol, also pointing forward. This allowed her to react immediately to any enemy, whether at close or long range. Liu Chendong continued to act as a laborer, his shoulders laden with weapon and food bags. He was completely immune to the "T-virus," leaving all the security work to Alice without a care in the world.

The slight noise the two made as they went up the stairs also startled Claire, who was almost at the top. When Claire reached the top, she gripped the wrench tightly and stood guard, her heart pounding in her throat. She was ready to smash the unknown object on the head with the wrench as soon as it came up, but before she could react, a beautiful blonde woman suddenly appeared in front of her, tripped her up, and held a military knife to her throat.

It turned out that when Claire was guarding the stairwell, her orange shoes had extended half a centimeter beyond the wall, which allowed the observant Alice to quickly notice and realize that someone was guarding the stairwell, and that it was a woman.

By the time Claire realized what had happened, the saber was already gone from her throat, but it still gave her a fright. She saw a fully armed man and woman standing in front of her. The woman was incredibly beautiful, and the man... was probably a boy, who seemed very sunny and warm.

Liu Chendong put down the bags he was carrying, walked over and helped the panicked woman up. He then extended his right hand in a friendly manner and said, "Hello, my name is Liu Chendong, and this is Alice. I'm sorry for startling you earlier; I thought you were a Corruptor."

Claire quickly extended her right hand and shook Liu Chendong's hand, replying, "It's alright, it's alright. My name is Claire. I also thought it was the 'walker' we encountered earlier coming up the stairs, so I stayed at the top of the stairs."

After Liu Chendong searched one of the rooms to make sure it was safe, the three of them went in one after another, closed the door, and asked Claire, "Are you the only one left in this office? How did you survive?"

Claire then recounted her previous experiences to the two men, who both smiled in unison, marveling at how lucky she was to have survived in Raccoon City, which was practically a hellish place, and to have met them. Liu Chendong then explained the entire situation in Raccoon City to Claire.

In Liu Chendong's description, he did not mention his and Alice's time in the biochemical laboratory, but only described the dire situation in Raccoon City. After listening to Liu Chendong's account, Claire was not very panicked or incredulous, because the situation at this time was exactly in line with her previous guesses. The army began to gradually abandon Raccoon City and prevent any infection from leaving Raccoon City.

After pondering for a moment, Claire had only one question left: "To be able to survive this disaster and possess such skillful combat techniques and excellent weapons makes me seriously examine your identities, but I know you can't tell me. However, my curiosity still makes me want to find out."

The two men exchanged a wry smile and said, "Indeed, we can't tell you who we are right now, but you just need to believe that we mean you no harm."

Claire could only shrug helplessly, indicating that her questioning would end there for the time being.

Liu Chendong took a standard-issue M9 pistol from his weapon backpack and handed it to Claire, briefly explaining its performance, aiming, and operation. After Claire familiarized herself with it for a bit, she performed a standard aiming tactical maneuver, which surprised the two men beside her. Seeing their astonished looks, Claire stuck out her tongue and said, "My brother is a captain in an international mercenary organization. He often practices at the shooting range at home, so after watching him for a long time, I can imitate it very well." After hearing Claire's explanation, the two men didn't press her further. After all, everyone has secrets, and they probably had the biggest secrets of all.

Just then, a huge crash was heard! Clearly, danger was approaching, and they all fell silent. (Mobile users, please browse for a better reading experience.)

Chapter 786 Collision of Parallel Universes (16)

It turned out that the horde of corpses that had been chasing the two, unable to find them, began to destroy the surrounding buildings like angry children, mindlessly rushing into each building. However, the glass door of the lobby on the ground floor of the World Health Organization office building where the three were located had already been smashed open. The loud crash was the sound of glass shattering. They began to swarm into the office building, while many Corruptors who were already inside slowly emerged from various corners to investigate, drawn by the noise.

The three people in the room were now in a difficult situation, feeling unprecedented pressure. If it were just a few dozen Corruptors scattered around, the three of them could easily carve out a way out. However, the Corruptors that had broken in from outside, plus those already in the office building, were estimated to be close to two hundred based on the noisy footsteps. Moreover, they were not scattered; they were probably in groups of several dozen wandering around the office building.

At this moment, Liu Chendong stepped forward and offered his idea: he should rush out first to attract the attention of a large number of Corruptors, and then the two girls could seize the opportunity to escape. After all, this was the best way at the moment, as Liu Chendong, who possessed antibodies, was undoubtedly the best candidate. However, Claire sternly rejected this idea as soon as it was proposed. The level of crisis that the man in front of her was extremely dangerous. Claire did not know that Liu Chendong possessed antibodies. She could not bear to see the humans who had survived with great difficulty like hers venture into the tiger's den, especially since it was to save herself and her companions. This made Claire feel extremely pained.

Seeing Claire's deep concern for her companion, Liu Chendong and Alice both smiled genuinely. Their observation of her companion's true character was one of the subjects they were testing, and Claire had clearly passed.

Alice then stepped forward and said, "Although there is some danger, it's nothing to the man next to us. Let's leave it to him without worry."

After hearing this, Claire looked at Liu Chendong with a puzzled expression and thought for more than ten seconds. Then she shrugged her shoulders again, indicating her helpless agreement. After all, she didn't know as much about the man in front of her as she did about the woman next to her. Perhaps she really could entrust the job to him.

Having reached an agreement, the three quickly distributed their equipment from their backpacks. The two women carried M9 silenced pistols to keep a low profile during the orderly retreat, while Liu Chendong, who was meant to draw attention, carried a Colt 870p large-caliber shotgun and several fragmentation grenades. Although the commotion would be enormous, the powerful firepower would allow him to escape from any predicament.

The three formed another temporary position: Liu Chendong stood guard by the door that was about to open, Claire stood behind the door to prepare to open it, and Alice held an M9 silenced pistol at the door that was about to open. After all, although Claire was good at the basic pistol handling, she had no practical experience. So the task of quickly killing the Corruptor outside the door the moment the door opened was handed over to Alice.

With a creak, Alice swiftly headshot several Corruptors at the door before they could react, while Dennis immediately charged out like a wild horse, moving in the opposite direction of the exit. Along the way, he fired a shot at the large group of Corruptors with his Remington M870p large-caliber shotgun, watching rows of Corruptors fall to the ground with their limbs mutilated. He then ignored the Corruptors struggling to get up and swiftly stepped over them.

Liu Chendong's approach was quite effective. All the Corruptors in the World Health Organization's office became very interested in the loud noise and went deeper into the building. Those who got closer to the source of the sound became more excited, as if they could tell from the sound of their companions that their prey had appeared. This made the Corruptors very eager to find out more.

After a while, the loud gunfire continued, occasionally accompanied by the loud explosions of fragmentation grenades. However, there were almost no Corruptors left outside the door, indicating that they had been successfully drawn away. Claire and Alice cautiously emerged from the room and slowly made their way towards the exit. Although the two women did not speak to each other during their walk, they were both unanimously worried about Liu Chendong.

As the two made their way safely from the second floor to the lobby, the scene before them made it impossible for them to worry about Liu Chendong any longer. The lobby was filled with swarms of Corruptors, and near the entrance, two deep red Lickers covered in spikes crawled. In that moment of stunned silence, their eyes met those of the Lickers. The instant they reached the lobby, they realized their plan had failed. The swarms of Corruptors were completely still; the two Lickers were clearly controlling them. Moreover, these two Lickers were significantly different from the previous ones. Besides being a deeper red, they had developed spiked exoskeletons all over their bodies, and their skin was much harder. It seemed they had evolved through some means. While the previous Lickers were agile and possessed powerful claws, their skin was still extremely fragile; even slightly larger-caliber weapons could pierce through it.

Once the Lickers' gazes met those of the two, they stared intently at each other. After a few seconds, they suddenly roared to the sky, and the two Lickers charged forward, quickly scaling the wall. Then, the countless Corruptors in the hall slowly approached the two.

Upon realizing the situation had become extremely dangerous, the two ran into the depths of the house without looking back. Although they couldn't see what was behind them for the time being, the loud crashing sound of the walls behind them was getting closer and closer, reminding them that they had to keep running at all their might to have any chance of saving their lives.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Liu Chendong seemed to have become a sharp killing tool. His Remington M870p large-caliber shotgun continuously destroyed more and more limbs of the Corruptors. Every now and then, one could see the head bursting like a watermelon. Various colors of mixed substances filled the scene. Whenever he saw too many Corruptors, he would throw a fragmentation grenade without saying a word, and then the whole world would instantly become quiet. His t-shirt was already stained red, and the aura that Liu Chendong himself exuded was that of a Shura who had walked out of hell.

Chapter 787 Collision of Parallel Universes (17)

After running out of ammunition with his Remington M870p large-caliber shotgun, Liu Chendong casually slung the gun behind his back, pulled out a military dagger, and plunged it into the forehead of the nearest Corruptor. He then quickly pulled it out and mercilessly slaughtered the Corruptors behind him one after another in the same way. In fact, his body was already covered with many bite marks and scratches, but Liu Chendong, who had long since developed immunity, did not care about the pain at all. Unbeknownst to him, he encountered Claire and Alice coming from the opposite direction.

At that moment, Liu Chendong felt a little confused. Weren't the two of them heading towards the exit? Why were they not only not running towards the exit, but actually coming in his direction? But he quickly regained his senses because at this moment, Liu Chendong also saw the Lickers chasing after them on the wall behind them, and another horde of Corruptor corpses slowly walking towards him from a distance.

Upon seeing this scene, Liu Chendong showed no fear. Instead, he charged towards Claire and Alice from behind. The previous battle had already allowed the potential and savage characteristics of the "T-virus" within Liu Chendong's body to be fully unleashed, completely integrating into Liu Chendong's body. All his cells were no longer simply immune to the damage from the "T-virus" when he had just recovered from the hospital, but had undergone a deeper evolution.

As he passed by the two, he casually drew the military knife that Alice was hanging at her waist and held it in both hands, forming a coordinated attack with his own military knife. He immediately charged towards the fastest Licker, which lunged at him with its claws raised. But just as it was about to reach him, Liu Chendong suddenly sidestepped in mid-air to avoid the claws. While dodging, he quickly plunged both of his military knives into the Licker's head, then rolled gracefully and landed safely.

The Licker's brain was severely attacked, and it lost its balance, crashing heavily to the ground, lying motionless. The other Licker, which had been closely following its companion, quickly stopped and climbed onto the wall, also motionless, clearly stunned by the scene before it. Liu Chendong then got up and walked to the fallen Licker, kicking it to see if it was still alive, but it was already a cold corpse. As he bent down to pull out the two military knives, Liu Chendong also turned to look at the Licker on the wall, feeling as if he had already seen through its weakness. Although its body had a hard shell, its head was still just as vulnerable, and he was full of disdain.

Claire and Alice were equally stunned by Liu Chendong's actions. The reptilian Lickers they dreaded had been so easily dealt with by this young boy in the blink of an eye. Alice immediately realized that this dramatic change must be due to the "T-virus," but she didn't say much. Claire, however, had a questioning look in her eyes and wanted to ask Liu Chendong immediately, but Alice stopped her. After all, there was still one Licker and a slowly moving horde of corpses behind them; it wasn't the time to chat yet.

The Licker, initially surprised, was enraged by Liu Chendong's disdainful gaze. For so long, no human had been able to stop its advance and slaughter, let alone suffer such contempt and disdain. It immediately began to scramble across the wall, constantly shifting its position to gain high mobility. This maneuver proved effective; Claire and Alice's rapid-fire MP5 submachine guns missed completely, leaving only dozens of bullet holes in the wall. The Licker quickly approached Liu Chendong in this manner, intending to tear the human apart and make him pay for his arrogance.

Liu Chendong clearly hadn't expected the enraged Licker to be nearly twice as fast as usual. After barely dodging, Liu Chendong was left with three long scratch marks on his chest, looking particularly disheveled. Seeing that its attack had worked, the Licker revealed a human-like smile. But at that moment, an anomaly occurred. The alternative "T-virus" that had evolved within the Licker quickly entered Liu Chendong's body through the scratch marks, fusing with the "T-virus" that was already present in Liu Chendong's body. This made his body's neural reflex system and sensory system exceptionally sensitive, and gave him the ability to perceive and contact similar cells.

At this moment, Liu Chendong also noticed the changes in his body and burst into laughter involuntarily, making Claire and Alice feel a little confused. The Licker felt that the human in front of it was mocking it again and didn't care much about its attack. It turned around and flew towards Liu Chendong again without stopping. But when it was about to touch the human, it suddenly stopped 5 centimeters away. Then, as if it had changed its nature, it withdrew its attacking claws and crawled to Liu Chendong's feet like a loyal dog, licking its master's face with its long tongue.

Just 5 centimeters away, it suddenly changed its mind and withdrew its attacking claws, crawling down at Liu Chendong's feet like a loyal puppy, its two-meter-long tongue licking its master's face. But Liu Chendong remained calm and composed, confidently reaching out to stroke the slightly ferocious head as if petting his beloved dog.

Claire and Alice were too exhausted to think straight. Alice was initially a little better, as she was aware of the changes in Liu Chendong, but the series of events that had just unfolded left her just as bewildered as Carlisle. They simply had no clue what to do and were completely lost in thought. The two of them decided to give up even their guns and sat down on the ground, panting and resting. They were both exhausted from running all that way.

Seeing their exhausted appearance, Liu Chendong smiled slightly on his sunny face. He didn't have time to explain the changes in his body right now; he needed to deal with the approaching horde of corpses first. He had originally planned to go and deal with them himself, but after glancing at his newly acquired Licker, he suddenly changed his mind. After all, he wanted to see how effective this creature was against other Corruptors besides dealing with him.
