"…"
"Javier, it's right below us! Attack it quickly! Don't let it continue destroying the high-voltage power line towers! Lure this monster away!"
From the co-pilot's seat, Claire looked down at the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form, urging Javier.
Javier calmly nodded, slowly activating the Apache attack helicopter's weapon system. The 30mm M-230 chain gun at the front instantly locked onto the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's body, and he pressed the button!
"Click!"
"Bang—bang—bang—bang—bang—!!!!!"
High-speed cannon rounds shot out like a barrage of rain. A flash of fire erupted below the Apache attack helicopter, and large bullets instantly struck the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's back.
"Splat…splat…splat…!!!"
The power was immense.
The 30mm M-230 chain gun, capable of easily penetrating walls, effortlessly breached the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's defenses. Several bloody gashes instantly appeared on its incredibly tough muscle tissue, and bullets penetrated its flesh from top to bottom, even hitting the ground. The damage caused the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form to let out a mournful cry.
"Roar, roar, roar—!!!!"
Looking at the falcon circling above its head,
Did this Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form, this hedgehog, truly have no other option but to be hit?
Of course not… As the green, pus-filled frog eggs gathered on the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's head began to squirm, the pustules immediately burst open, splattering a steaming green liquid into the sky—a ground-to-air corrosive projectile? It was its signature corrosive slime, but this time, it was a type with extremely high temperature.
Large in quantity and potent,
If hit,
It would melt the Apache attack helicopter's wings directly within seconds. This was an attack method that even strong, sturdy armor could not resist…
Chapter 47: Ragnarök, Survivors
Seeing the corrosive slime, like anti-aircraft artillery, about to hit the Apache attack helicopter's wings, Javier immediately pressed the foot pedals, and the tail rotor instantly increased power. Under the intense airflow distortion,
The Apache attack helicopter instantly performed a stylish tail-spin drift, easily dodging the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's sneak attack…
After all,
With a Ride Skill of B-rank,
The infamous "vehicle killer" from Resident Evil would not appear on Javier, even with those little rascals, Leon, Claire, and even Jill. Vehicles that usually got involved with these protagonists almost always ended up in a bloody disaster.
But with the Ride skill,
This disgusting law of causality could be ignored…
However, Leon and Barry, who were hanging outside the cockpit, were not having a good time. Normal flight was fine, but once these drastic evasive maneuvers were performed, they were almost thrown off.
Seeing this,
Javier also gave an apologetic look to Leon and Barry outside the cockpit. Such high-difficulty maneuvers couldn't be done often, otherwise, those hanging outside really couldn't take it. Since that was the case… then he could only cleanly resolve the Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite monster in front of him!
"Then, it's time for full firepower."
Looking down at the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form, while this thing was terrifying enough, it had no resistance whatsoever in the face of humanity's top intelligent creations. After all… the terrifying thing about a Resident Evil virus was its contagiousness, not its destructive capability itself.
Therefore,
"Click—!"
With a slight movement of his finger,
Pressing the button, Javier activated the Apache attack helicopter's semi-laser targeting system. The four external hardpoints on the wings, four Hellfire anti-tank missiles, immediately aimed at the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form below. Missiles capable of instantly destroying main battle tank armor—let's see if they could blast the carbon-based synthetic creature below to smithereens!
"Boom…"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!!!"
A sharp booming sound instantly rang out,
The missiles suspended from the Apache attack helicopter's wings immediately spewed out dazzling fiery trails, like four firebirds singing in unison, streaking rapidly forward.
The Hellfire anti-tank missile's warhead, equipped with a semi-laser targeting system, was specifically designed to strike tanks. Under normal circumstances, no tank could evade its pursuit.
And its armor-piercing warhead could easily ignore tank armor and penetrate directly, then the terrifying flames of the internal explosion were the true reason for the name Hellfire.
In a sense,
Using it against the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form was almost overkill,
After all, Javier never believed that the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's physical defense could be stronger than tank armor. The answer was, of course, impossible.
"Boom…"
"Boom, boom, boom—!!!!"
As expected,
The four Hellfire anti-tank missiles, like firebirds, easily tore apart the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's muscle tissue the moment they hit it. Their powerful penetration capabilities pierced through the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's flesh,
And slammed into the ground, subsequently triggering a violent explosion of crimson flames. Hellfire was unleashed here!
Scalding high-temperature flames expanded within the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form. Its black flesh instantly swelled up like a balloon, then violently burst, the flesh melted by the high temperature turning into a puddle of sludge flowing on the ground.
After all four Hellfire anti-tank missiles had fully exploded, the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form, like a giant tunneling shield machine, immediately lost all movement.
All of its flesh and blood were piled up like mud beneath the power station factory, completely unknown whether it was dead or what.
And a high-voltage power line tower of the nearby power station factory also collapsed due to the explosion. Broken wires fell onto the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's muddy body, and dazzling blue electricity surged out,
Constantly scorching the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form's flesh, and a foul burnt smell slowly rose.
Still no movement…
Is it dead—?!
"…"
"Gurgle, gurgle…"
However,
Just when everyone thought the Nemesis-α Parasite Ultimate Form was completely dead, it immediately displayed its tenacious vitality. After the vast, muddy flesh bubbled for a while, a red-black octopus monster slowly crawled out from within.
Pushing aside the muddy flesh, the Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite understood that this body could no longer be used, and it could only reluctantly choose to escape.
With its long brain hanging backward like an alien's, the Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite's dark, circular eyes looked at the surrounding scene. As a Plaga parasite, it still lacked the ability to survive independently, so it urgently needed a new host body.
And when it saw a zombie attracted by the violent explosion outside the power station factory,
The Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite's eyes lit up, and it immediately found a temporary host body. Several scarlet tentacles shot out violently, pouncing towards that ordinary zombie!
"Splat—!"
Like a whip,
Several long, scarlet tentacles tightly wrapped around the distant zombie, while the Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite itself transformed into a slingshot, desperately pulling its tentacles, preparing to launch itself towards the zombie's chest.
Unfortunately,
Its movement,
Was precisely captured and locked onto by the sharp-eyed Javier. Looking at the Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite still attempting to escape, Javier once again activated the Apache attack helicopter's weapon system and lightly pressed the button.
This time, it was the Hydra 70mm rocket, also known as the "Hydra" aerial rocket. 19 rounds were loaded in the rocket pod and could be fired continuously at once. Although it lacked the powerful armor-piercing capability of the Hellfire anti-tank missile and could not destroy main battle tanks, it was effortlessly capable of large-scale clearing of armored vehicles.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…!!!!"
And facing the Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite preparing to escape,
Javier chose not to give it any chance of survival. No "nine deaths, one life," but rather "ten deaths, no life." The overwhelming barrage of Hydra rockets rained down.
"Rumble…!!!!"
The location of the Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite and that zombie instantly turned into a ruined giant crater. Massive flames and explosions swept through, and under the rolling thick smoke, the tenacious Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite was completely reduced to powder, with no chance of survival whatsoever!
"…"
"It's over…"
Looking at the huge crater below, still engulfed in flames,
Javier knew that this power was something even the Nemesis-α Parasite Parasite couldn't resist. After all, at its core… it was just a Plaga parasite, not the G Virus. If it were a G Virus monster, Javier might have even needed to add a few more Hellfire anti-tank missiles to ensure it was truly dead before feeling reassured.
But for a Plaga parasite, that was enough…
"Thump, thump…!!!!"
And just as Javier was lamenting,
A knocking sound came from outside the helicopter cabin. It was none other than Barry, who was hanging outside, showing Javier the watch on his wrist. At this moment, it was less than ten minutes until dawn. The small nuclear bomb ordered by the United States Government and military was probably already on its way. If they didn't leave now, they would truly have no chance.
"…"
"Time to go?"
Thinking of this,
Javier turned his head and looked at Raccoon City below, still burning fiercely with flames. Due to the Resident Evil virus outbreak and the zombie riots, many facilities and buildings were destroyed and caught fire. The streets were filled with fire hydrants spraying water, and dense vehicles were scattered haphazardly, blocking the roads. Some even emitted thick black smoke due to violent collisions.
Some survivors trapped in buildings or attempting to escape were being chased by a large horde of zombies. Soon, they would lose strength and fall to the ground, then be swarmed by the zombie horde, and piercing screams of pain would quickly follow.
There were also some survivors remaining on the top floors of high-rise buildings, watching Javier and the others leave in the attack helicopter. They desperately waved for help, trying to get Javier to take pity and let them leave together.
Beside them was a seven or eight-year-old blonde little girl, holding her beloved doll, standing there lost and confused, not understanding what was happening around her.
That was the last flicker of humanity…
And some frantic individuals, already suffocated by society, excitedly ran to gas stations and used lighters to ignite the entire station. Roaring flames, like the fires of hell, raged and danced in the air.
Even when scorched by the flames, they still screamed and vented excitedly, and these were the demons of hell.
Of course, the only remaining Raccoon City subway station, its daytime lights were extremely dazzling in such a gloomy environment. One could vaguely see many survivors desperately rushing into the subway station. That was the last hope, and also the saving Noah's Ark before the great flood…
Raccoon City had become a city of hell. All its past beauty had turned into fleeting clouds. Under the dim sky, combined with the rolling thick smoke, it formed a unique historical scroll—
Undoubtedly,
Both Jill and Javier,
Felt extremely sorry for the survivors still trapped in Raccoon City, but they had no choice but to leave, fearing that they would turn back if they couldn't control their inner kindness. Javier could even see the tears that Jill and Claire were holding back in their eyes.
However,
Javier also didn't notice that his own eyes were already moist. Perhaps only by experiencing it firsthand could one understand how intense the pain of such a conscience pang was.
But when Javier looked up at the clouds on the distant horizon… golden, brilliant morning light was slowly beginning to penetrate, and that dazzling radiance shone upon him.
Javier then had a new realization:
"…"
"Ragnarök… survivors?"
After murmuring,
Javier increased the Apache attack helicopter's throttle, continuously climbing and flying away, while Raccoon City behind them gradually receded until it was about to disappear from sight, when a faint black dot fell from the distance.
In an instant…
Heaven and earth collapsed,
The god of the sky showed a terrified expression, and the mother of the earth continuously let out mournful cries.
An extremely dazzling white light obscured everything. A buzzing sound continuously echoed in their ears, and a strong shockwave of airflow swept in from dozens of kilometers away. The Apache attack helicopter's fuselage suddenly shook, accompanied by a towering dust mushroom cloud rising into the sky. Everything would be annihilated.
Raccoon City…
Had completely disappeared—
…
Several hours later,
The White House, Washington D.C., United States—
