Chapter 50: G5? B.I.G.!
An… or rather, a blob of an indescribable object.
“Kaplan, Rain, JD…”
James saw the shadows of his comrades on its body.
His body could no longer secrete hormones normally, and like Chu Xuan, he had lost some human instincts.
But James was still trembling; that anger, born from the soul, was easily perceptible to anyone.
A giant fleshy mass, almost filling the entire room and covered in tentacles, resembled a composite of countless Resident Evil monsters. Features of creepers, zombies, and hellhounds, all T-Virus infected, could be seen on it. Various rotten limbs and heads appeared as grotesque reliefs on its surface.
Kaplan’s human face was surrounded by a host of these “reliefs,” with familiar yet strange eyes revolving around him.
creeper tongues, human limbs, and hound fangs churned within this putrid, foul-smelling body, as if they could fall off at any moment, yet were held fast by viscous flesh and bodily fluids.
Most horrifying of all was the gaping, blood-filled maw in the center, like an octopus’s mouth. Several massive tentacles twisted, flailed, and elongated in mid-air…
—In every sense, an old friend…
Fang Ge was quite familiar with it; it was one of the common Bosses in this Resident Evil Infinite World.
It originated from the game version of Resident Evil 2, named G5 William, the final boss of the game.
It could devour everything in its path, including inorganic matter. It was no longer a common individual creature but had become a giant “garbage heap.”
Undoubtedly, the original zombies and creepers in the Hive were fed to it! That’s how it achieved such an enormous size!
According to the setting, this should be a product of the G-Virus, but the Resident Evil film series never described the G-Virus, so in the Infinite World, these two viruses are not differentiated.
Now, they seemed to have encountered a monster made from T5 Kaplan, Rain… or rather, the mercenaries.
“Da da da da da!”
Seeing such a creature, Zheng Zha’s sanity was severely challenged. He unhesitatingly fired his Guanmai Great King!
The moment he pulled the trigger, pulse rounds, imperceptible to the naked eye, struck the fleshy mass with enough kinetic energy to shatter steel plates. Thousands of egg-sized cavities were blasted into the flesh, seemingly with excellent results!
However, Fang Ge knew that the Guanmai Great King, which had always been invincible, was now struggling at this critical moment!
Because the fleshy mass was not “pierced through” by the pulse rounds! At the same time, it also possessed the ability to devour inorganic matter!
“Zheng Zha, cease fire! It’s devouring the bullets and getting bigger!”
Zhan Lan quickly stopped Zheng Zha’s actions. In just two or three seconds, the fleshy mass had grown by half!
—This growth absolutely couldn’t be achieved just by eating bullets! This thing seems to be able to devour kinetic energy.
The Guanmai Great King’s invincibility had indeed met with the Main God’s countermeasures.
Fang Ge recalled the Jojo series he watched as a child, which featured a Stand called Notorious B.I.G. that had similar abilities.
And… it also looked like a mountain of flesh!
—Is this the fusion ability after the update? Now everything is fused!
“Swish!”
One of the twisted monster’s tentacles lashed out like a steel whip towards Zhan Lan, moving incredibly fast, difficult for an ordinary person to react to!
Jin Xi’s Monomolecular Sword was even faster, severing it before it could strike.
Half a tentacle fell to the ground with inertia, then wiggled like a caterpillar towards the main body, seemingly able to “return to its owner”…
—Speed, strength, and even intelligence and mechanisms all seem to have been strengthened to some extent. It’s unknown if the old version’s fixed patterns can still be used…
But the Main God’s underlying logic will not change. The Main God will not issue missions that cannot be completed.
And Fang Ge was confident that there was no mission he couldn’t complete.
“This guy will be handled by me, Jin Xi, Zhan Lan, and James. Zheng Zha, you, Chu Xuan, Yu Huatian, and Alice find an opportunity to enter that elevator shaft!”
Considering combat experience and the enemy’s mechanisms, Fang Ge made a tactical arrangement:
“I will lead the team to buy you time… We have no reinforcements, and neither does the Umbrella Corporation.”
“The Mould outside must be fighting them fiercely. The only ones we have to face are this monster, and Dr. Isaacs and Wesker, those two!”
“I believe in you!”
Fang Ge truly believed in them… After all, if Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan couldn’t accomplish this relatively easy task, then Fang Ge’s initial strategy must have been flawed.
Zheng Zha felt a strange sense of “trust.”
Fang Ge had entrusted the more important matters, and even the lives of everyone, to him and Chu Xuan.
—Now, it’s time for execution.
“Jin Xi, cut your palm. Use your blood and voice as bait. The two of us will be responsible for attracting this monster, and the others should avoid its path!”
Fang Ge and Jin Xi, in the disbelieving eyes of the others, used the extremely dangerous Monomolecular Sword to cut their palms, letting the sweet blood drip onto the ground.
At the same time, they stomped their feet and retreated, trying to lure this behemoth to a more open area.
Fang Ge’s blood was actually not very attractive.
But Jin Xi’s live dragon blood was indeed a rare, high-energy delicacy.
Like a puppy smelling milk, this twisted creature had a clear target and began to wriggle vigorously.
Meanwhile, its tentacles were not idle, repeatedly lashing out, but they were skillfully parried by Fang Ge and Jin Xi.
—It wiggles very quickly, actually keeping pace with us! And it’s getting bigger and bigger…
It passed through the newly opened door… No, not passed through; most of that wall was swallowed by the greedy creature! Leaving a huge void!
Anything in its path, whether stone or steel, would be devoured and quickly converted into nourishment, expanding its size.
Simply an incredible digestion speed!
“Now!”
Fang Ge threw a flashbang.
“Buzz~”
All the virus creations present, burdened by their specialized senses, fell into a state of “mental chaos”!
The twisted creature’s tentacles began to twitch violently and flail wildly. Their power was immense; a single strike could create a deep dent in a steel wall!
“Go!”
Chu Xuan, carrying two Gauss pistols, charged ahead. After avoiding the tentacles’ attacks, the elevator shaft came into his view.
The scene inside the room was vastly different from when they first arrived.
Wherever the twisted fleshy mass had passed, the floor was covered in a pus-like red substance. This area was riddled with holes, everywhere stained with crimson, viscous traces.
Without the temperature-controlled suits, one would probably smell the odor of rotting flesh.
It seemed to have climbed up from the elevator shaft… if that empty pit could still be called an elevator shaft.
“Zheng Zha! Use the Symbiote for shock absorption! Go down the elevator shaft directly to the bottom!”
Chu Xuan was very fast, covering the distance in a few steps. He then leaped into the dark pit!
That was the Hive’s elevator shaft, three or four hundred meters deep! Are you crazy?
Following closely behind him, Zheng Zha, carrying the Guanmai Great King, realized he had no time to hesitate.
Even if only to prevent Chu Xuan from falling to his death, he had to jump immediately!
Red Symbiote tentacles extended from his palms, wrapping around Yu Huatian and Alice behind him, and Zheng Zha also leaped down.
“Zhan Lan, use your psychic power and communicator to pinpoint their location. We will ensure your safety.”
If Zhan Lan were also busy running, Fang Ge didn’t believe she would have the ability to process a large amount of information.
Therefore, she had to stay here.
Seeing that he was almost retreating into the tunnel, Fang Ge knew it was time to show his true skills!
“Now it’s fixed pattern time…”
