Atop a clock tower, a young girl looked in the general direction of Lilith, a hint of pink light flashing in her azure eyes.
"She's grown stronger again; she's growing quite fast. However, my plan is almost complete..."
After speaking, the girl jumped from the top of the dozens-of-meters-high tower, her black cloak snapping in the wind.
This height of dozens of meters would be enough to smash any ordinary person into a pulp, but the girl was caught by an invisible force just as she was about to hit the ground.
Her toes lightly touched the ground, and her figure slowly vanished into the darkness... Meanwhile, on Lilith's side.
After that roar, Lilith felt her body was more refreshed than ever before. She called up the blue light screen to check her status panel.
There weren't many significant changes in her attributes.
However, the skills she had previously acquired through devouring and fusing the t-virus had undergone a transformation.
In the description, besides the second form, the Tyrant form, another form had appeared.
A form labeled in red text—Abyssal Tyrant.
This was the form obtained by injecting the g-virus, a form powerful enough to reverse the tide of battle.
But it was also labeled as an extremely dangerous form.
According to the data description, this form was constantly growing, evolving, and breaking through its own limits at every moment.
It was getting stronger every second!
Once utilized, if one's own strength wasn't great enough, there was a high likelihood of suffering a backlash.
Lilith's crimson vertical pupils flickered with red light. She grinned, revealing a hideous countenance.
"I just don't know if you'll evolve faster, or if I'll grow stronger faster."
As long as her strength was great enough, her body would still be hers to command!
The g-virus—she would eventually master it completely!
Lilith flapped her massive Bat Wings, kicking up a foul wind as she flew into the distance.
Since she could no longer submit the g-virus, she had to hunt some zombies to increase her score.
Only when her score went up would her permissions in the Main God Mall be higher, allowing her to purchase more powerful items to enhance her strength.
From the current perspective, strength was clearly unrelated to the rating, or rather, the connection was minimal.
The only thing that could influence an individual's rating was the final settlement of the dungeon.
Lilith looked toward the Police Station. As for the g-virus samples in the Underground Research Institute, she didn't plan to make a move because the institute's self-destruct sequence truly made her wary.
With her current massive body, it wouldn't be easy to move around in those cramped spaces.
Besides, there was another Soloist here.
A Soloist who had remained undetected by her until now.
Ever since the last lesson, although Lilith was confident in her current strength, as long as this Soloist didn't appear, she would remain vigilant.
Wary of the opponent's little tricks... At this moment, the zombies in Raccoon City were all undergoing a bizarre evolution. The entire City was shrouded in an invisible, intangible barrier.
Looking at the dead Pursuer, Jill rested her hands on her knees, panting heavily.
"Thank you all this time."
The tenacity of this Pursuer was far beyond her imagination. If it hadn't been for this five-person squad that suddenly appeared, she might have really stayed here forever.
Not long after that roar, the Pursuer had actually evolved. Its strength and defense had increased significantly, and its body had become larger and more aggressive.
It had pushed her to the brink, but fortunately, there were other survivors in Raccoon City.
"We need to leave here quickly. These zombies all seem to be evolving, and the speed of evolution is very fast."
"By the way, I remember there's a virus vaccine in this City. As long as we get the vaccine and find someone to mass-produce it after leaving Raccoon City, we might be able to save the City."
Hearing that there was a vaccine, a flash of excitement appeared in Jill's eyes.
"Really? If we can find it, I'd really be so grateful to you."
"It's... it's nothing, just doing what I should do."
Looking at Jill as she drew slightly closer, the bespectacled youth's face flushed with a slight blush.
The other team members couldn't help but show knowing smiles upon seeing this, and the tension in their hearts eased a bit. At least for now, the plan was proceeding according to the youth's steps.
They believed they would be able to complete the mission very soon.
Having decided on their next goal, the group formulated a plan to find the virus vaccine and quickly went into action.
After they left, a white-haired man wearing a tactical suit stepped out from the shadows. He looked in the direction Jill and the others had vanished, then turned his gaze toward the Pursuer, his eyes gloomy.
"Damn it, I should have been able to kill her."
The white-haired man cursed. Raccoon City was now completely out of his control, and the mutation speed of the t-virus was far beyond his imagination.
All sorts of inexplicable, unknown creatures had appeared in this City.
It probably wouldn't be long before all the zombies in Raccoon City underwent a true metamorphosis in every sense of the word.
They would turn into even more ferocious killing machines, and by then, this place would become a living hell!
Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind. The white-haired man instantly became alert, immediately turning and drawing the dagger from his waist, ready for combat.
Before him, a young girl in a black cloak had arrived at some point.
Seeing that it was a frail young girl, a flash of surprise appeared in the white-haired man's eyes. He put away his dagger, and a smile played on his lips.
"Hi! Lady, I don't think this is a place you should be..."
Before the white-haired man could finish, the girl raised her azure eyes and glanced at him.
Boom—!
Without any warning!
The white-haired man only felt his body being struck by a truck traveling at full speed. His body was like a cannonball, tracing a straight trajectory through the air.
His entire body slammed directly into a wall dozens of meters away, turning into a pile of mangled flesh.
Regarding all this, the girl seemed to have done something trivial. She turned her gaze to the Pursuer, her lips curving into an arc.
She walked up to the Pursuer, knelt down, and pressed her fair palm against the Pursuer's massive head. A cluster of pink light enveloped it, and a vast amount of spiritual energy was injected into the Pursuer's body.
Immediately after, a bizarre scene occurred.
The Pursuer's body began to swell. The t-virus inside seemed to lose control, or rather, it seemed to have been deceived, and began to evolve and mutate.
Even the parasite controlling the Pursuer seemed to be deceived by the Spiritual Spores the girl had implanted. It was constantly stimulated by extreme environments within its own world, prompting the Pursuer to evolve.
A powerful force was slowly brewing.
And this was only the beginning.
The roars of zombies echoed throughout Raccoon City. All zombies began an uncontrollable mutation. Their bodies grew larger, their eyes were replaced by red, and their entire bodies exuded a Bloodlust aura.
Hideous bone spikes even grew out of the backs of some zombies, and a thick tail extended from behind them.
Those wandering Tyrants had the shackles on their bodies directly broken, becoming massive. At the same time, a pair of giant bone wings grew from their backs.
Their bodies, which were already enough to withstand firearms, were encased in thick bone plates, forming highly defensive Exoskeleton biological armor.
A nightmare seemed to be rapidly erupting within Raccoon City.
Lilith, who was hunting zombies in the distance, stopped. She looked at these zombies that had suddenly swarmed toward her collectively, her four crimson vertical pupils bursting with ferocity.
"It's actually... a Hunter of the Hive Lord Path!"
