"Don't we need to take out all the other branch bases as well?"
Claire sat in Li Qingyuan's arms, casually cracking sunflower seeds as she asked.
By now, she had completely adopted a "whatever happens, happens" attitude, not caring how others saw her.
Of course, in this world, finding the fourth person wasn't easy anyway.
The army Umbrella Corporation sent to surround them had been nearly annihilated by two Peace Bombs and a tsunami. Only a few dozen helicopters fled in panic. In an instant, almost all of the Americas were restored.
"No need. The remaining people are all hiding in their nests, too scared to move. Better to save ourselves some trouble!" Li Qingyuan replied. The remaining Umbrella branches were nothing more than a minor nuisance.
All he needed now was to take down the Hornet's Nest, and that would pretty much wrap things up.
Before, he hadn't dared attack the Hornet's Nest directly because Umbrella still had massive mobile forces worldwide. Striking the nest would immediately alert the hornets.
But now?
Umbrella had already been severely weakened. The scattered leftovers weren't worth worrying about—straight to the nest was enough.
"So after dealing with Umbrella, you're leaving?" Claire tilted her head and asked.
At the same time, Jill perked up her ears.
A few days ago, through the combined efforts of the two women, someone had been knocked out cold, eventually forced to confess: he wasn't from this world, but another.
The notion of a cross-world existence was accepted by the two women immediately.
After all, Li Qingyuan's strength far exceeded their understanding, especially with the Poseidon Trident—practically a divine weapon.
Besides, with events like world-ending disasters already occurring, what's another parallel universe?
"In such a hurry to get rid of me?" Li Qingyuan teased, pinching Claire lightly.
"Go if you want!" Claire scoffed, turning her head dismissively. As if she couldn't survive without him!
"Are you really leaving?" Compared to Claire, Jill was much more sentimental.
They had spent over half a year together, facing countless hardships in the beginning. Jill couldn't completely abandon those attachments like Claire could.
"Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere… for now." Li Qingyuan tossed the ungrateful Claire aside and pulled Jill into his arms.
It wasn't that he didn't want to hold both at once—it was a matter of strength.
Both women were long-term trained fighters. Though they looked lean, they were solidly built. Each was about 1.7 meters tall and weighed roughly 60 kg.
Lifting both simultaneously would require Li Qingyuan at least 80–90% of his maximum strength.
"Hmph!" Claire protested indignantly through her nose. This guy didn't know how to pamper her at all.
"Let's study how to attack the Hornet's Nest first!" Ignoring Claire's tsundere antics, Li Qingyuan pointed at the map.
His main mission in this Biohazard world was to survive three years, with side objectives of defeating Umbrella and releasing the virus-clearing vaccine.
This task was already mostly complete. Umbrella's remaining forces had been nearly wiped out. Once he destroyed the cryo chambers under the Hornet's Nest, everything would be essentially resolved.
As for the remaining branch bases?
Li Qingyuan felt they could easily be left to others. For example, the Destiny protagonist Alice—he couldn't do everything alone. There had to be something left for others!
"Why not just strike directly? No need for your old tactics." Claire leaned on his shoulder, speaking softly.
"You can blow up everything else, but the Hornet's Nest? Absolutely not!" Li Qingyuan pulled her into his arms, explaining patiently.
"The Hornet's Nest contains the T-Virus clearing vaccine. Releasing it in an open area spreads the vaccine, killing all the zombies. With the monsoon winds, it could potentially wipe out all zombies worldwide in a few years."
Since he claimed to be a traveler from a parallel universe, knowing certain hidden truths was entirely reasonable.
"Are you serious?" The two women grabbed his hands, full of excitement.
For Li Qingyuan, he was just a passerby. But for them, this world held all their fond memories.
Any normal person would be devastated seeing the world like this. That was why they fought alongside him against Umbrella.
Despite the massive defeats Umbrella suffered, a single misstep could have ended in total annihilation.
They had assumed the world would remain perilous even after defeating Umbrella. Survivors would still face waves of zombies, and clearing the T-Virus threat could take decades or even centuries.
But now, learning that releasing the vaccine could eradicate all zombies, both women were ecstatic.
Globally, millions of survivors remained. Without the zombie threat, humanity could restore its former glory in a few centuries.
After all, with human reproduction, populations could double in 15 years without issue.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Li Qingyuan slowly drew the two women together.
"Really?" Jill and Claire exchanged glances. After these days together, their coordination had grown seamless.
"Who said they'd only ever love me?" Jill pinched the fat on his left waist.
"And who said they wouldn't touch me?" Claire retaliated on his right side.
Now, the two women had truly united against him.
"Who else said they'd never think of other women?"
"Someone even promised to take me to see my brother. Where's my brother?"
Their relentless pinching left Li Qingyuan speechless. He had the physique, but these two knew exactly where to hit, leaving no mercy.
"Be gentle! You're going to hurt me!" he exclaimed helplessly.
You'd think a man could say a word or two during late-night scuffles. But these two held grudges? That's a bit much!
"You deserve it!"
"Today, if I don't show you my strength, you'll never know what a husband should do for his wives!" Li Qingyuan finally lost his patience, summoning the strength to lift both of them at once.
