"Captain Chris, we found it. He wasn't lying... The location of this Underwater Oil Field Base is indeed on the satellite map. If the matter regarding the HAOS is true, should we go and confirm it?"
At this moment, Lieutenant Piers, who was standing beside Chris, handed over the PDA in his hand and asked in a heavy voice,
What was displayed on the blue screen
was exactly the location of the Underwater Oil Field Base in the HK Sea Area. Since the oil rig base really existed in that sea area, it meant that what Javier said was true.
And if the HAOS was truly that dangerous,
then their BSAA Squad could not just sit by and watch. They had to stop it quickly; the danger level of the HAOS was even higher than the Resident Evil crisis in Lanxiang City!
"Alright, I believe you, Javier. In that case, I'll leave Lanxiang City to you. Piers, go get Jake, prepare the gear—the three of us will head to the Underwater Oil Field Base first."
"Also, there's an aircraft carrier patrolling the HK Sea Area, right? Use our clearance to notify them about the HAOS and have the carrier's forces assist us in the mission. This is a matter of great importance."
"Report directly to the BSAA Asian Branch using the highest level of clearance and danger rating. Have them send more reinforcements!"
After a moment of silent contemplation,
Chris finally chose to trust Javier. Accepting Lieutenant Piers' suggestion, he immediately began to act decisively.
Currently, within the entire BSAA Squad,
the only people he trusted most and who were capable enough were Piers and Jake. Therefore, Chris only planned to take these two with him.
Furthermore.
Considering the danger level of the HAOS, Chris did not hesitate to notify the HK Government and the BSAA Asian Branch for support. This was a major event concerning the safety of the global oceans and could not be handled carelessly!
With that said, Chris intended to leave with his two confidants, Piers and Jake, but he was quickly stopped by Javier.
Leaving Lanxiang City in an armored vehicle to head to the Underwater Oil Field Base would waste too much time. It would be better to travel directly by helicopter.
Of course... It couldn't be the longbow apache attack helicopter. The fire support from this attack helicopter was crucial and couldn't be used just for transport.
But there was still the Scout Helicopter piloted by Leon and Helena nearby. That helicopter's ammunition was already exhausted, so it could serve as a transport vehicle for Chris and the others.
"Wait!"
"Chris, you're too slow in an armored vehicle. The Scout Helicopter Leon is piloting is no longer useful for combat. Let him take you to the deck of the aircraft carrier in the HK Sea Area; otherwise, it'll be a waste of time."
Stopping the three of them, Javier pointed toward the Scout Helicopter Leon was slowly landing nearby.
It was only then that Chris noticed his old acquaintance, Leon, had also appeared in Lanxiang City, which truly surprised him a little.
"Roar—!!!!"
However,
there was no extra time for Chris and Leon to catch up, because Simmons, in his tyrannosaurus rex form, was busy eating.
He finally noticed the gathering BSAA Squad reinforcements. Looking at the leopard 2a7 main battle tanks and the three armored vehicles on the ground, as well as the longbow apache attack helicopter buzzing overhead,
Simmons' tyrannosaurus rex form also felt threatened.
Having eaten his fill, Simmons didn't continue foraging to store food. Instead, with a roar, he turned and launched an attack on Javier and the BSAA Squad!
Thud thud thud...!!!!
The ground trembled.
Because he had consumed more C-Virus Zombies, Simmons' tyrannosaurus rex form had become even more massive and heavy.
With just a single charging sprint,
the ground shook as if there were an earthquake.
Facing the "iron lumps" on the ground, Simmons the Tyrannosaurus Rex showed no fear. Instead, he opened his massive, excavator-like maw and lunged forward to bite.
"Run... Run quickly...!!!"
Faced with the pursuit of such a behemoth,
many newly joined members of the BSAA Squad were instantly terrified. After all, this was a living Tyrannosaurus Rex—the apex predator of the Jurassic period.
They had seen many dinosaur movies, like the famous Jurassic Park, but now, facing such a massive creature in person,
their brains simply froze in fear.
Their legs shook uncontrollably, their pupils dilated, and cold sweat poured down. The only thing they wanted to do was turn and bolt.
When Simmons' tyrannosaurus rex form wasn't moving,
the BSAA Squad members didn't think much of it, but now that it was attacking them, they could feel the horror of such a monster, striking directly at their souls...!
"Fall back! Spread out! Don't cluster together! Disperse and strike from all directions! Don't fear this monster; it's also a carbon-based life form, made of flesh and blood. Find an opening and unleash your firepower!"
Seeing the terrified expressions on many of the BSAA Squad rookies,
Javier quickly shouted out commands. If these soldiers were scared into deserting, it would be trouble.
There weren't many reinforcements to begin with;
if they all ran, the difficulty of dealing with Simmons would increase. Thus, Javier would not allow such a thing to happen.
Fortunately,
those who panicked were all soldiers who had come out of the armored vehicles—most of them were rookies who had only recently joined the BSAA.
On the other hand, the soldiers operating the leopard 2a7 main battle tanks and the longbow apache were battle-hardened veterans. They had experienced many Resident Evil extermination missions and were mentally prepared for even the most terrifying monsters.
And so...
"Fire—!!!"
A roar of command rang out.
The hatch of the Leopard 2A7's machine gun position suddenly opened, and a mature-looking middle-aged soldier climbed out. Looking at the charging Tyrannosaurus Simmons, he immediately let out a loud shout.
He then immediately pulled the trigger of the heavy machine gun in front of him.
The black muzzle instantly erupted with intense fire. In the dark night, the bullets were like a dense shower of yellow fire, wildly strafing across the body of the Tyrannosaurus Simmons.
Clang.
Bang Boom boom boom————————!!!!
In the next second,
the main gun of the leopard 2a7 main battle tank suddenly turned, aiming its massive black muzzle—roughly the size of a football—at the head of the Tyrannosaurus Simmons.
As the loader inside the cockpit chambered a shell, a dull sound rang out, followed by a surge of flames.
Amidst rolling white smoke, an L/55 120mm Smoothbore Gun shell instantly shot out, hurtling toward the head of the Tyrannosaurus Simmons with incredible speed.
This terrifying strike from the world's strongest main battle tank, with a shell capable of penetrating a meter of steel plate, would soon let Simmons the Tyrannosaurus feel the sensation of flesh being torn and pierced.
Whir whir whir
Swoosh swoosh swoosh... Rumble—!!!!
It wasn't just the leopard 2a7 main battle tank; even the "God of Storms," the longbow apache attack helicopter circling in the sky, began its attack. Ten Cluster Rockets were launched first.
The honeycomb launcher pods suddenly ignited with fire. A series of piercing sonic booms rang out, trailing white gas wakes.
A total of ten Cluster Rockets instantly landed on Simmons' tyrannosaurus rex form.
This was a ground-coverage strike weapon that could easily take down dozens of tanks during the Gulf War.
Its power was naturally not to be underestimated.
This action
also gave the remaining BSAA Squad rookies a brief moment to recover.
Seeing and hearing those deafening explosions, their panicked emotions finally began to fade, and they regained the discipline of their usual training.
After all,
deserting in the face of the enemy was a very shameful thing. Fortunately, the sounds of the veterans' guns and cannons snapped them back to their senses; otherwise, a disorganized rout would have been the biggest problem.
With the combined attack of the Cluster Rockets and the tank's main gun,
Simmons' tyrannosaurus rex form suffered its most severe blow. The moment the shell made contact with the flesh-and-bone armor, a terrifying chemical reaction occurred.
Pfft.
The Leopard 2A7's main gun shell instantly pierced through the Tyrannosaurus Simmons' head. The Tungsten Armor-piercing Shell could easily tear through that so-called muscle and bone armor.
No matter how hard bone was,
it could not compare to steel. The expanding cavitation effect
further tore apart the surrounding flesh, while the immense thermal energy evaporated it. Soon, on the head of Simmons' tyrannosaurus rex form, a bloody hole the size of a manhole cover appeared, and the depth of the wound reached a terrifying ten meters.
This meant the Tungsten Armor-piercing Shell had entered through the Tyrannosaurus Simmons' head, pierced all the way to the spine, and only then did its kinetic energy finally dissipate as it flew out.
A single simple shot had the power to pierce the defenses of this flesh-and-blood Tyrannosaurus. It seemed... carbon-based life forms still could not withstand the power of thermal weapons!
Volume 9 Resident Evil 6: Chapter 60 Spore Domain
Roar—!!!
A piteous wail of pain rang out.
Having taken a heavy blow head-on, the Tyrannosaurus Simmons suddenly collapsed, its massive body slamming into the ground.
The ground shook violently, as if a skyscraper had come crashing down. From the head down to the spine, it had been completely pierced.
The power of the Leopard 2A7's main gun was too terrifying, making it impossible for Simmons' "Earth's Overlord" form, of which he was so proud, to resist.
Boom rumble rumble...!!!!
However,
the attack did not end so simply.
Following the main gun strike of the Leopard 2A7, ten Cluster Rockets from the longbow apache attack helicopter in the sky followed immediately.
Terrifying explosion flames and shockwaves began to rage. Without any surprise, under the destructive thermal weapons that were the crystallization of human wisdom, Simmons' tyrannosaurus rex form was once again blown to bits.
The entire massive body of flesh was bombed into a mangled mess.
Fragments of flesh flew everywhere, and the remaining dinosaur skeleton teetered before collapsing to the ground, giving off a sense of tragic desolation.
After all, having suffered heavy blows one after another,
even Simmons himself began to question his life. Hadn't he obtained extraordinary power? Why was he still being suppressed by these BSAA people from start to finish?
He was being beaten into retreat and left in a wretched state by just a few main battle tanks and attack helicopters. This was very difficult for Simmons to understand.
Tak tak tak tak tak tak tak tak...!!!!
Whir whir whir...!!!
Taking advantage of this moment,
Chris, Lieutenant Piers, and Jake boarded the Scout Helicopter piloted by Leon.
With the roar of the engine and the high-speed rotation of the propellers, the "big black bird" rose into the sky, speeding toward the patrol aircraft carrier in the HK Sea Area.
Because of Javier's intimidation and warning,
Chris had no intention of staying behind to command the BSAA to eliminate Simmons; instead, he decisively headed for the next boss stage.
Whirr, whirr, whirr.
"Chris, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry to have me land on the deck of the patrol carrier in the HK Sea Area?"
