===
The sharp noise generated by high-frequency sound waves stirred frantically within 'Fatty's' auditory nerve center, which had been extremely modified by the virus, like an invisible file.
To Noah and the other two, this was merely a somewhat piercing noise.
But for a monster with hearing so keen it could capture a heartbeat, this was nothing short of sensory torture—a slow slicing of the Soul itself.
"Awooooooo——!!!"
The heart-wrenching howl sounded like a desperate elegy played by countless dying Souls forcibly stuffed into a rotting skin bag.
Its massive, mountain-like body convulsed and writhed frantically under the unbearable pain.
It abandoned its previous target, Bruce, and its arms—thicker than a normal person's thighs—clutched its ugly head wildly, as if trying to rip the pain-inducing organ right out of its body.
Under its blind and frantic destruction, the small Security Room was tossed about as if caught in a blender.
Dust-covered tables and chairs were smashed into a pile of broken timber.
Heavy metal filing cabinets were crushed and deformed like flattened soda cans.
Terrifying dents and cracks were hammered into the solid concrete walls by its massive fists and body.
Ten seconds later, the energy in the Jammer Phoenix Bell had thrown was exhausted.
The room instantly returned to a suffocating silence, leaving only 'Fatty's' heavy gasps, sounding like a broken bellows after the intense pain.
Slowly, almost with a hint of daze, it lowered the hands clutching its head.
The sensory hellstorm had suddenly subsided, causing its brain—eroded by the virus until only instinct remained—to fall into a brief state of paralysis.
Noah did not choose to dodge and weave like Bruce, nor did he use long-range fire suppression like Phoenix Bell.
He chose the most direct, most aggressive, and most incredible method—a frontal assault!
He stomped his foot down hard, leaving a shallow footprint on the solid metal floor.
His entire body shot forward like a black arrow released from a bow, moving in a straight line toward that nearly three-meter-tall mountain of flesh without a single wasted motion!
'Fatty's' sluggish instincts finally reacted as it sensed a high-speed sound source approaching.
Its eyeless head snapped toward Noah, and it opened its massive mouth filled with rotten flesh, seemingly wanting to let out a roar.
But Noah's speed was faster than its roar!
During the sprint, Noah's body sank slightly, and the muscles in his right arm bulged instantly at a visible rate.
He channeled all the strength in his body into his right fist!
Boom!!!
A dull sound, like a battering ram hitting a city gate, exploded within the room!
Noah's fist, which did not seem particularly large, slammed solidly into 'Fatty's' massive belly, which looked like it was ten months pregnant!
In that instant, Bruce and Phoenix Bell even saw an extremely absurd image.
'Fatty's' massive belly, thick enough to withstand small to medium caliber bullets, caved inward at the point of contact with Noah's fist to a terrifying depth of over half a meter!
A visible white shockwave expanded outward in a ring from the center of the fist!
The tough skin, a mixture of fat and mutated cuticles, was stretched to its limit by this force and then exploded like an overinflated balloon!
Splat—!
A large amount of greenish-black viscous matter, mixed with fat particles and putrid pus, gushed out like a bursting dam!
A rancid stench instantly filled the entire Security Room!
"Awooo—!!!"
'Fatty' finally let out a roar mixed with pain and confusion.
Its massive body, weighing a ton, was actually lifted off the ground by this punch and slid backward for over two meters, crashing heavily into the metal wall behind it!
Rumble!
The entire building shook violently!
The wall behind it bulged outward in a large arc from the massive impact, with countless cracks spreading like a spiderweb.
Having landed the hit, Noah did not stop; his body moved like drifting catkins, lightly sliding back and easily avoiding the splashing foul liquid. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water, without a single drop touching him.
He slowly retracted his fist, frowning as he looked at the faint green stain on his knuckles.
Too soft.
It was like hitting a massive piece of fat wrapped in tire rubber.
At least seventy percent of the power of that punch had been absorbed and cushioned by that incredibly thick layer of fat.
Although it caused significant surface trauma, it hadn't injured the core.
This thing was even more durable than he had imagined.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
The sharp pain from its abdomen completely enraged the instinct-driven monster!
Its ugly head 'locked' onto Noah's position.
Under the frantic stimulation of the virus, the injured abdominal muscles began to writhe and proliferate at a visible speed!
An even more terrifying change occurred in its left arm!
The muscle fibers on its left arm rapidly inflated, knotted, and mutated like a balloon being pumped with air!
The pale skin split open, revealing the bright red and hideous muscle tissue beneath.
Bones made a 'crackling' sound, undergoing a secondary development in a way that completely defied biological common sense!
In just a few seconds, its left arm transformed from a thick human arm into an incredibly ugly flesh-and-blood mace, nearly a meter in diameter and over three meters long, with several large bone spurs growing at the tip!
That terrifying form was filled with pure malice born for destruction!
This was its true attack form!
"My God..." Bruce stared dumbfoundedly at this scene, unable to help but curse in a low voice, "What the Hell is that thing? Its arm is thicker than my waist!"
He had never seen such a terrifying creature.
In his knowledge and training courses, the top-tier threats were the 'Tyrant' series manufactured by the Umbrella Corporation.
But whether it was the T-103 or the T-091 from earlier, they both seemed...'slim' compared to the pure mass and terrifying mutation of the monster before him.
Phoenix Bell's expression also became incredibly solemn.
She knew very well that being grazed by such a thing would result in a full-body comminuted fracture at best.
After completing the mutation of its arm, 'Fatty' did not hesitate; its massive flesh-and-blood mace, carrying a sharp whistle that tore through the air, swept toward Noah's position!
The attack range covered nearly half the room, making it impossible to dodge!
Facing this blow that felt like a mountain pressing down, Noah's gaze narrowed.
He lowered his body, pressing himself almost flat against the ground.
The massive arm, carrying a foul wind, whistled over his head!
Boom!
The mace smashed heavily into the wall on the other side of the room, punching a massive hole through the already crack-filled wall into the adjacent room!
Debris and dust flew in all directions!
Having missed the strike, 'Fatty' immediately retracted its arm, preparing for a second attack.
But Noah had already seized this fleeting gap!
He darted under the giant arm, closing in on 'Fatty' like a swift leopard!
His target was 'Fatty's' knee joint!
However, 'Fatty's' reaction speed far exceeded his expectations!
Just as Noah was about to succeed, its intact left arm shot toward Noah like a venomous snake emerging from its hole!
Noah was forced to abandon the attack, lightly tapping his toes on the ground to drift back and create distance once more.
At the same time, gunfire broke out!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The large-caliber pistol in Bruce's hand was aimed at 'Fatty's' ugly head, firing repeatedly!
The bullets accurately entered those two dark eye sockets and the hole where a nose should have been!
Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat!
Phoenix Bell's MP5 also began to roar; she aimed at the connection between 'Fatty's' massive left arm and shoulder, attempting to destroy its joint!
A dense storm of bullets instantly enveloped 'Fatty'!
"Agh..."
'Fatty' let out a pained grunt. The simultaneous attacks on its head and shoulder caused its massive body to undergo a very brief moment of stiffness!
Although the bullets couldn't cause fatal damage, the continuous impact effectively interfered with its movements!
Noah seized this fleeting opportunity.
This time, his target was no longer the tough parts, but that massive left arm that had mutated to the extreme!
His figure was as fast as a phantom; before 'Fatty' could react, he had already circled to its right side!
Noah took a deep breath, kicked off the ground with both feet, and leaped high into the air!
His right elbow slammed hard into the most vulnerable part of the flesh-and-blood mace—the elbow joint!
Crack—!!!
A bone-fracturing sound, crisper and louder than any sound before, echoed through the entire space!
'Fatty's' mutated arm, which was harder than reinforced concrete, was snapped in half by Noah's elbow strike!
White bone fragments protruded from the torn muscle, looking hideous and terrifying!
"Awooooooo————!!!!!!"
Unprecedented pain caused 'Fatty' to let out its most shrill and desperate howl!
The broken giant arm hung limply, like a rotten sausage.
Blackish-green blood gushed from the break like a waterfall!
The intense pain caused the monster to completely lose its sanity.
It abandoned its attack and turned, using its massive body to crash directly through the already crumbling wall behind it!
Rumble!
It fled!
Its massive body left a pathetic trail of blood in the corridor, quickly disappearing into the depths of the darkness.
Silence returned to the Security Room.
Bruce maintained his shooting stance, gasping for air as sweat rolled down his cheeks.
He looked at the massive hole smashed by 'Fatty,' where rubble was still falling, and then at Noah, who stood in place, slowly retracting his arm and adjusting his breathing. He felt like his brain was stalling.
What... what did he just see?
Exploding a mountain of flesh with one punch?
Snapping a battering ram with one elbow?
He even began to suspect if he had been infected by the virus at some point and was now seeing hallucinations.
Phoenix Bell also lowered her gun, her eyes—usually as calm as a deep well—now filled with shock.
She quickly walked to Noah's side, looking him up and down to confirm he wasn't injured before turning her gaze to the messy battlefield.
"That thing... just ran away?" Bruce finally found his voice, his tone full of disbelief.
"Its regenerative ability is strong, but a broken bone injury like that won't recover in a short time." Noah calmed his slightly hurried breathing; that last strike had nearly exhausted all the power he could burst forth in a short duration.
"Besides, it lost a lot of blood. We are safe for now."
Bruce let out a long sigh of relief, his body going limp as he sat down against the wall.
The exhaustion of surviving a near-death experience washed over him like a tide.
"Safe... alright, I'll believe you for now." He shook his head with a bitter smile, "I swear, I'd rather go dismantle a nuclear bomb than deal with that kind of monster again."
Compared to the monster before them, the Lickers and Stalkers they had encountered in the abandoned experimental area were like innocent children playing with mud in a kindergarten.
This island was a hundred times more dangerous than they had imagined.
After a brief rest and replenishing their ammunition, the three did not dare linger. They passed through the massive hole smashed by 'Fatty' and continued toward the Main Control Core marked on the map.
For the next part of the journey, they passed through two long-abandoned experimental areas filled with broken Cultivation Tanks and rusted laboratory equipment.
The air was thick with the pungent smell of formalin mixed with spoiled chemical reagents.
On the ground, dried bloodstains that had long since turned dark brown were everywhere, along with skeletons wearing Umbrella Corporation Researcher lab coats that had been gnawed down to the bone.
According to the map, passing through this biochemical Waste Disposal Plant would bring them to the outskirts of the core area.
The disposal plant was large, resembling a massive underground cavern.
Heavy metal gratings formed walkways suspended over a vast, bottomless disposal pit below.
In the pit, it wasn't the green chemical waste they had expected, but a viscous, constantly undulating dark matter that looked like biological tissue.
Just as they reached the middle of the walkway, a rustling, swarming sound that could make anyone's skin crawl came from the massive disposal pit below.
Phoenix Bell shone her Tactical Flashlight downward.
The beam of light pierced the darkness, illuminating the true face of that viscous matter.
That wasn't waste at all!
It was a massive, living Hive composed of countless writhing flesh and slime!
Countless fist-sized, translucent insect eggs were attached to the surface of the nest, and the larvae wriggling inside could even be seen.
Among the eggs, countless hatched multi-legged monsters—hybrids of giant cockroaches and centipedes—were frantically crawling and gnawing on something.
"Ugh..." Seeing this, Bruce's stomach churned, and he almost threw up on the spot.
"Don't stop, keep moving!" Noah barked in a low voice.
The three quickened their pace, wanting only to leave this nauseating place as soon as possible.
Just as they were about to reach the end of the walkway and step onto the platform on the other side.
"Whoosh—!"
A foul wind came from above their heads!
The three snapped their heads up.
A massive monster, like a black shadow, dropped silently from the darkness of the disposal plant's ceiling, crashing heavily onto the metal platform in front of them and completely blocking their path!
