While letting out an angry shriek from its mouth, it opened its mouthparts once more.
Imitating the attack method of its parent, the C5 Giant Fly, it condensed a stream of corrosive liquid from its abdomen and poured it onto Javier's giant body, attempting to slowly burn and corrode through him.
"Nice bite..."
"But unfortunately, it's just a little bit short."
Looking at the two C5 Fly Larvae clinging to him, Javier sneered inwardly and muttered a sentence.
Immediately after, he gave them no more chances.
In his giant form, he suddenly let out a furious roar, his body instantly exerting force as he wiped away the corrosive liquid on him with one swipe.
His palm, like an iron pincer, grabbed the giant fly larva on his neck and then tore it away with violent force.
The C5 Fly Larva that had been clinging to him was instantly slammed onto the ground, and the sharp elbow blade on his arm smashed down.
Puchi—!!!!
The hard carapace was instantly broken open.
Blood splattered everywhere as the head of one C5 Fly Larva was directly severed by Javier's giant body. It lay motionless on the ground, head and body separated, and even the wings on its back were torn to shreds by Javier.
Roar, roar, roar...!!!!
There was still another C5 Fly Larva left on his thigh.
Just as Javier was about to reach out and grab it, he realized this giant insect was quite cunning. Seeing its kin killed so easily,
It lost all desire to attack.
It hurriedly tried to flutter its wings to escape this dangerous place, but fortunately, Javier was quick. He grabbed the fluttering wings and yanked it back.
He slammed this last C5 Fly Larva hard onto the ground. Realizing escape was hopeless, the C5 Fly Larva still tried to make a final deathbed struggle.
Those sharp mouthparts suddenly opened,
Attempting to pierce Javier's throat as he approached, but Javier's massive palm snapped the mouthparts in one go.
A massive fist smashed down like a heavy cannon.
With a "puchi" sound, this C5 Fly Larva's head was pierced through by the fist, and various liquids flowed and mixed on the ground. At this point, all of Simmons' C5 Giant Fly offspring were completely wiped out.
Huff, huff, huff...
"Flight—!!!!"
After dealing with these troublesome larvae,
Javier muttered inwardly. Suddenly, the shoulder blades on his giant body's back writhed, and a pair of bat wings grown from flesh and blood burst open.
They were as massive as a black curtain. Accompanied by bursts of flapping, a wild wind rose, and Javier's nearly seven-meter-tall giant body slowly ascended into the air relying on these bat wings.
He rapidly charged toward the C5 Giant Fly hanging on the hotel building's rooftop. Javier intended to prioritize neutralizing the C5 Giant Fly's reproductive and production capabilities.
Even if he couldn't completely eliminate it,
That bloated, massive abdomen and the reproductive organs that could continuously lay eggs had to be destroyed immediately.
Javier didn't want to keep facing so many giant green-headed flies, nor did he want these bio-organic weapons (B.O.W.s) to escape Lanshiang City; they had to be nipped in the bud.
As for why Javier's flying wings were bat wings,
The reason was simple... because there was no other choice.
Javier had also wanted to grow beautiful angel wings, but unfortunately, muscle cannot grow feathers, and for simple fleshy wings to generate the airflow needed for flight,
The only qualified creature in nature was the bat. It's worth mentioning that bats are mammals.
They are the only instance of flying mammals in nature.
Birds are all egg-laying animals. From this, it can be seen that it is very reasonable for a villainous monster to grow bat wings,
Because they are indeed the most suitable wings for human flight, rather than avian feathered wings—which look good but are useless!
...
On the other side—
Above the HK Sea Area,
The patrol helicopter Leon was piloting was rushing toward an aircraft carrier patrolling on the map. Because Chris had used his authority to notify the HK Military on the carrier in advance,
The carrier did not continue moving but stayed in place. This prevented Leon's patrol helicopter from running out of fuel halfway and crashing into the sea.
"Chris..."
"Is Javier's word credible? Although I don't want to doubt him, Javier's identity is mysterious, and he's never really been on our side. He's more like the type of person who is unrestrained."
On the helicopter,
As Leon piloted the helicopter while searching for the aircraft carrier on the pitch-black sea, he couldn't help but ask the silent Chris behind him in confusion.
After all, Leon had only just learned the whole story.
The reason Chris was in such a hurry was actually that Javier had persuaded him to come, with the goal of going to the Underwater Oil Field Base to prevent the release of the so-called HAOS.
This series of events happened too quickly,
Leaving Leon unable to figure out the beginning or end of the matter even now.
Why did Simmons turn into a bio-monster? Why did Resident Evil break out in Lanshiang City? Why were there two Ada Wongs who looked exactly the same? And what was the deal with the C-Virus?
There were too many things,
Preventing Leon from figuring out the sequence of events like in the original timeline. So now, upon hearing that there was a massive monster like the HAOS at the Underwater Oil Field Base,
Leon's first reaction was skepticism. This was normal; after all, he knew Javier, and everything Javier did had its own purpose.
The reason he told Chris and the others about the HAOS, a large-scale B.O.W. at the Underwater Oil Field Base, was likely partly because he planned to use Chris and the others to help him clear the path.
After all, with this kind of routine,
Leon had been played many times by Javier and Ada Wong in the past, so it was perfectly normal to have doubts!
But unfortunately,
This time Leon was truly mistaken.
Because the matter of the HAOS was of great importance, involving the infection of the Earth's oceans, Javier wasn't using any schemes.
He simply wanted to stop it, just like in the previous Wesker Ouroboros Virus Project incident.
Even though it didn't directly concern him,
The fact that Javier chose to step in and help Chris and Jill was enough to show that Javier had a clear sense of right and wrong.
He also knew what was important. Javier understood the logic that if the nest is overturned, no eggs will remain intact. He would intervene in things that endangered his life, even if they weren't his direct concern.
After all, with great power comes great responsibility. He was part of that small group of people who had to hold up the sky when it fell; he had no way to turn a blind eye even if he wanted to!
"I'm not sure..."
"But Leon, it's better to believe it exists than not. Even if it's fake, I need to go and check, because the danger posed by the HAOS is immense."
"If it's released, the world's oceans will be contaminated. The ocean is one of Earth's most precious resources. If the ocean is contaminated, then only death awaits us humans."
"So I'm sorry. Because of my own ideas, I've dragged you all into this, and even held you hostage with my moral concepts. But I need helpers, so I'm helplessly forced to trouble you all."
Faced with Leon's doubt,
Chris was silent for a while before honestly answering and apologizing. As a legendary hero of the BSAA,
He didn't need to doubt, because if he made a wrong judgment,
Then people would die. Therefore, the only thing Chris could do was to handle any biohazard event that might occur, nothing more.
"..."
"This matter is likely true. Captain Chris, get ready. We've found the aircraft carrier and are about to make an emergency landing. I'm communicating with the military's radio equipment on the carrier; they shouldn't attack us."
At this moment,
Piers, as the second-in-command, interrupted and seriously handed his tablet to everyone to see.
He then pointed to the pitch-black sea below.
At this moment, they realized that on the vast, dark sea,
A massive white aircraft carrier had appeared at some point. Lights were flashing on the deck, and soldiers on the deck were directing them to land the helicopter...
Volume 9 Resident Evil 6: Chapter 70 Contradiction
On the aircraft carrier deck—
The sound of the rotor engines slowly died down, and the biting cold sea wind gradually subsided.
Leon, Chris, and the others slowly walked out of the cabin. They were met by several Chinese HK naval officers in uniform. Their expressions were cold, and the atmosphere was very serious.
"I received your message. You, the BSAA, are saying that in the Underwater Oil Field Base in the HK Sea Area,"
"There is also a base secretly built by bioterrorists, which might contain the source of this bio-virus?"
A middle-aged military officer with the rank of general slowly walked up to Chris, Leon, and the others. He looked at the documents in his hand and couldn't help but ask.
After all, this matter was a bit too unexpected.
After patrolling their own sea territory for so long, they hadn't discovered these bioterrorists, who were secretly researching bio-viruses right under their noses.
What was the difference between this and having a small drug workshop next to a police station? It was simply too much of a slap in the face.
Of course... given how absurd the matter was,
These naval officers also remained skeptical. They didn't think any fellow could release a bio-virus into the cities of HK Island right under their noses.
But unfortunately,
That was exactly the case.
As a part of China, although HK Island was very strict in searching for external threats,
It was much more lax regarding its own domestic industries. Carla took advantage of this, letting the HK Government develop the underwater oil field procurement base itself,
While she only needed to take the opportunity to infiltrate. On the surface, the company of this underwater oil field procurement base still belonged to the HK Government,
But the person holding power and control behind the scenes was Carla herself.
After all, the HK Government could get its share of oil field procurement income and taxes every year, so naturally, they wouldn't suspect Carla of anything.
It was like a branch of a convenience store chain.
As the boss, you handed the branch over to a manager who had just come to apply. As long as the store's revenue matched the accounts,
And it was still profitable,
Then as the boss, you wouldn't bother with much, even if the branch manager remodeled the convenience store into something else.
"In fact, that is the case."
"Therefore, we hope your ship can assist us in our mission. Of course, there's no need to send troops for support; we just need you to provide us with some small military vessels to go to the Underwater Oil Field Base."
"After all, we are currently only guessing and don't have conclusive evidence. But in any case, it's necessary to go and investigate. Better safe than sorry."
Hearing the questioning from the middle-aged general,
Chris was silent for a while before nodding in admission.
It seemed not many people were willing to believe the warning given by Javier, but Chris knew that even if this matter was fake,
He had to go and confirm it personally. He wasn't afraid of the matter being fake; he was afraid of it being true, as that would be the real trouble.
"..."
"Lan... Lanshiang City, what is the situation there now? Is it serious...?"
Hearing Chris's affirmative words, the middle-aged general also fell silent for a while.
Ultimately, he didn't pursue the answer to that question further but instead asked about the current situation in Lanshiang City with a heavy expression.
After all, they naturally knew about the bio-virus outbreak in Lanshiang City, but as soldiers,
They couldn't just act at will.
They could only obey and wait for orders from their superiors. The feeling of something happening right before their eyes that they couldn't stop was very painful.
After all, HK Island was their home.
At this moment, these navy sailors patrolling the sea felt naturally very helpless that they couldn't contribute their due strength to their hometown.
