At this moment, Alice stood alone away from the crowd in the center of the church. Rows of pews resembled dark, low bushes, creating a sense of unease. Faint rustling sounds occasionally came from the surroundings, sending chills down one's spine.
"Is Alice alright?" Jill asked, looking at Alice with some worry, then walking to Raj's side and whispering.
"Trust me!" Raj smiled, putting his arm around Jill's small waist. "Alice's physical abilities are now completely beyond the scope of human capabilities. You can call her a New Human!"
"But..." Jill was still a little worried and wanted to continue asking when suddenly a dark shadow darted out from the gaps between the pews, opening its bloody mouth and pouncing towards Alice. "Careful..."
"You scum, you've finally come out!" Alice showed no panic at all. She lifted her strong, beautiful leg and kicked the Licker into the air. Raising the shotgun in her hand, she fired two shots at the Licker's exposed brain tissue. Bang, bang—
The Licker's head was shattered like a watermelon.
But clearly, there wasn't just one Licker here. Another one took advantage of Alice's firing to pounce on her from behind, its long, snake-like tongue wrapping around her at the same time.
The Licker flashed out its tongue, wrapping it around Alice's gun-holding right hand. Alice decisively dropped the shotgun. Her left hand pulled a Bowie knife from her thigh, and with one slash, she severed the tongue wrapped around her wrist. Immediately afterward, she flipped her right hand, and a grenade appeared in her grasp. She tossed the grenade into the Licker's still-open mouth, and with a flip, kicked the Licker away...
"Boom—!" With a bang, the Licker's head was blown to pieces, and a rain of minced meat fell from the sky, causing everyone to exclaim in alarm and hurriedly dodge...
"Really, Alice, although your movements are graceful!" Raj used his telekinetic powers to separate the chunks of meat flying towards him, and also blocked the chunks of meat flying towards Jill. "But next time, can you not make it so bloody... unless you promise to do my laundry!"
Alice, completely clean and unharmed, walked gracefully to Raj's side, pecked him on the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "Okay, darling, I'll be responsible for cleaning you up!"
"Alright, let's leave this place!" Raj said, leading everyone back towards the church entrance, where their SUV was parked.
The group of five got directly into the SUV. Jill drove, the big black guy Peyton sat in the passenger seat, and Raj squeezed into the back seat with Alice and the female reporter. Of course, Raj sat in the middle. As Jill reversed, Raj made a slight fist-clenching motion with his hand. A Licker hidden in the church's confessional exploded with a bang, like a can of meat being crushed by a giant force...
As for the two loving siblings in the church, Raj didn't plan to disturb them. After all, their relationship was so good. Even though the sister had turned into a zombie, the brother still protected her, even killing people to feed her. What a loving scene, truly a model of brotherly and sisterly love. Why disturb their peaceful life?
The group of five drove down the streets of Raccoon City, occasionally seeing one or two staggering zombies. Of course, there were also occasional picturesque scenes, such as two zombies with bare upper bodies, which made Raj and Peyton whistle loudly.
Of course, it was okay for Peyton to whistle, but Raj's whistling earned him glares from Jill and pinchers from Alice... Raj didn't care at all.
Just then, Raj suddenly heard the sound of helicopter rotors overhead. Looking up, oh my gosh, a squadron of twelve aircraft was flying overhead. Each aircraft had two metal boxes suspended below.
Raj was a little strange. After all, when watching the movie, he knew what these metal boxes contained: equipment for the Nemesis. But he had already killed the fake policeman Matt in the Hive. Besides, the number was also wrong. How could there be twelve helicopters carrying weapons? Wouldn't that mean there were twelve Nemeses?
But no matter what, he had to get the weapons down first. Only a fool would watch them easily arm the Nemeses. Thinking of this, Raj patted Alice on the shoulder and said, "Honey, are you confident in severing the cables of those helicopters carrying the boxes?"
Alice looked up at the height of the helicopters, then smiled and said, "No problem!"
Saying that, Alice pretended to take a sniper rifle from under the car seat. After aiming slightly, she fired a shot, severing the cable of one helicopter. Immediately afterward, Alice transformed into a sharpshooter, bang bang bang—firing several shots in a row, bringing down eleven pods in total...
Only one helicopter was too far away, beyond the range of the sniper rifle, and was not shot down...
Raj used his telekinetic powers to control the falling weapon pods, seemingly accidentally, to land in front of the group... Everyone rushed over and opened the pods. Each pod contained two metal boxes, one containing six Vulcan cannons, and the other containing rocket launchers...
Eleven pods meant eleven Vulcan cannons and eleven rocket launchers...
"This is going to be fun!" Raj felt that his counterfeit version of the Gate of Babylon could add new firepower... Just thinking about it made him happy. "Let's get all this stuff into the car. Peyton, you're injured, so you don't need to get out. Jill, Alice, you come and help!"
As Raj spoke, he picked up a weapon box and walked towards the back of the car. Opening the trunk, Jill and Alice also walked over carrying boxes. Raj signaled them to put the weapons into their respective space compression bracelets. The two women obediently did as he said.
In a short while, eleven boxes of weapons and ammunition were emptied. Peyton kept looking at the car's trunk. He really couldn't figure out how the car's trunk was so awesome that it could fit such a large pile of weapon boxes?
But clearly, Raj wasn't going to explain it to him. It was best to let him die in ignorance.
While Raj was making a windfall from Umbrella's unexpected wealth, the command post of a temporary base outside the city was in chaos.
"Report, sir, the Nemesis's equipment was intercepted by the target!" A woman sitting at a computer monitoring the city's cameras said.
"It doesn't matter!" Standing behind them was Thomas, the security director of Umbrella's Raccoon City branch. At this time, he looked at the equipment of only one remaining helicopter on the screen and said: "Being able to arm one Nemesis is enough to satisfy the initial probing plan!"
Then Thomas paused and said: "Activate the Nemesis and begin capturing the target!"
"Yes, sir!"
At this time, Raj and his group started moving again. Their goal was the high walls surrounding Raccoon City. They believed they could easily cross the walls and escape.
When the group's car drove to a gas station, intending to fill up before leaving, suddenly the public telephone next to the gas station rang.
This made Raj a little curious. Alice hadn't been captured, so there was no so-called Alice Program and Nemesis Program colliding to produce the best results. So who was calling now?
"Don't answer it..." Alice was afraid it was another conspiracy by the Umbrella Corporation, so she didn't want Raj to answer the phone. But Raj, bold because of his skill, didn't care. As the saying goes, conspiracies and tricks are like a piece of waste paper in the face of strong strength, easily pierced.
"Hello!" Raj winked at Alice, making a don't worry gesture, and answered the phone.
"God! I thought you wouldn't answer the phone!" A man's voice came from the phone. He went straight to the point and said: "I can lead you out!"
"No need, we can escape on our own!" Raj smiled.
"No, you can't escape!" The man on the phone said: "The entire Raccoon City is now surrounded by two mechanized divisions. And the cleanup plan will be executed at dawn!"
"Oh? It's already so tightly defended, how will you lead us out!?" Raj smiled. He was sure this guy was a pitfall. Maybe he didn't even realize that he was being used as a pawn.
"I want you to save my daughter!" The man's voice came again. "As long as you pick up my daughter, I will guide you to the last helicopter landing site to take the helicopter and leave Raccoon City!"
"Okay, okay!" Raj became interested in this little conspiracy. He wondered what they were plotting without the Alice Program? Plotting against him?
An Alice who escaped from the Hive, an Alice who didn't participate in the Alice Program, definitely wasn't worth them going to so much trouble. They must be plotting against him. But when they found that all their known methods were ineffective against him, their expressions must be very sour. Raj decided to play along with them...
"Where is your daughter?" When Raj said this, he suddenly felt like he was playing Resident Evil 2 with a big cheat, this feeling was so refreshing.
"My daughter is at Raccoon City Elementary School. As long as you pick her up, I can guide you to the last helicopter landing site!" The man said.
"Okay, let's start!" Raj smiled.
"Hey—beauties! We have work to do!" Raj shouted at Jill and Alice: "Let's play a peak rescue game!"
"What?" Jill looked helplessly at her somewhat excited man and asked, "Instead of hurrying to leave this damn place, what else are we going to do?"
"Of course, to save a little girl!" Raj said with a smile: "The person who just called was a senior executive of Umbrella. His daughter was lost in the city. As long as we save his daughter, he will help us escape from here!"
"But...!" Jill just wanted to say something, Raj smiled and sealed her lips with his index finger. "No buts, put your heart in your stomach, I promise nothing will happen to you, just treat it as a fun game!"
"Okay! Damn it, you decide!" Jill looked at Raj's serious eyes and was finally persuaded.
"I just heard that Umbrella will execute the cleanup plan at dawn?" Alice, who had been injected with the T-virus, so her hearing was very sensitive, said that she seemed to have heard something very important.
"You heard right, baby!" Raj said, kissing her on the lips.
"What is the cleanup plan?" Peyton, who had been confused all along, said that he wanted to know something that sounded very bad.
"Maybe a tactical nuke..." Raj said with a smile.
"Oh my God, how dare they?" The female reporter said that she couldn't accept such a thing, she still felt that she was living in a democratic American empire, how could such an undemocratic thing happen.
"They dare!" Alice said: "They will detonate the nuclear bomb and disguise it as a nuclear power plant leak, and they may even have prepared the follow-up reports, so that they can cover up everything that happened here."
