The dormant area instantly turned into a living hell. Yang Tao looked at Alexander Isaacs lying on the ground, a smile appearing on his face as he said, "Since you have a chip installed in your head, then, for fairness, it shouldn't be too much for me to cripple one of your arms, right..."
With a forceful stomp, Alexander Isaacs let out a horrific shriek, but before he could say anything, Yang Tao lightly kicked him into the dormant area.
"Go on, please me to your heart's content."
He took out the Building Staff from his backpack and with a gentle wave, transparent tinkers construct glass directly separated his area from the dormant area.
He moved the sofa and table over, then walked to another dormant pod. Looking at Alicia, who had already woken up inside, he smiled and said, "You're awake!"
Alicia looked at Yang Tao very calmly, because the T-Virus in her body was an unstable, initial version.
After so many years, the T-Virus in her body had lost its effect, and progeria had reappeared. Even though she was only in her thirties, her skin was loose and dull, and even after waking up from the dormant pod, she had deep dark circles under her eyes.
"Ms. Alicia, do you mind if I carry you out to watch a good show together?"
"I don't mind, but I'm very curious how you managed to change Red Queen's program. Alexander Isaacs has the highest authority over Red Queen."
"Red Queen is a program. Since it's a program, it can be changed."
Yang Tao carried Alicia out of the dormant pod and gently placed her on the sofa. Her body had already entered old age, and her legs had lost the ability to move.
"Do you want something to eat?"
"Pour me a glass. This bottle of red wine was my father's collection."
Outside, screams gradually began to sound. Some high-ranking Umbrella Corporation officials who had been injected with the T-Virus gradually woke up. As soon as they emerged from their dormant pods, they were grabbed by increasingly excited Lickers and stuffed into their mouths.
Yang Tao sat beside Alicia, handed her a glass of red wine, and quietly watched the hellish scene outside.
Neither of them spoke.
Time passed by second by second. More and more people died at the hands of Lickers, but even more people, after dying, got back up and joined the zombie ranks.
Dr. Isaacs, whom Yang Tao had thought highly of, now also underwent a disgusting distortion. Possessing intelligence, he also joined the ranks of hunting humans.
He had no choice.
The T-Virus in the Licker's body had absorbed enough genes and had evolved into a Super Licker.
Not only had its size become larger, but its speed and intelligence had also increased exponentially.
If he allowed the other party to continue absorbing and hunting, then only death awaited him.
Nearly ten thousand high-ranking Umbrella Corporation officials were slaughtered in just over an hour. Aside from the Lickers, only three zombies had evolved; the remaining people had completely lost their minds and turned into zombies, leaving corpses everywhere.
Compared to when it first entered, the Licker's body had swelled by more than three times, and its originally exposed brain was now encased in a thick layer of keratin.
Its body was covered in sharp bone spikes. At a glance, one could tell it was a killing machine. At this moment, it was gripping a human corpse and gnawing at it with gusto, like biting into sugarcane.
However, its newly evolved small eyes cautiously watched Alexander Isaacs in the distance.
As for the other three evolved individuals, it didn't pay them any mind at all.
Alexander Isaacs' current appearance was even more grotesque than the Licker's; he had even evolved extra arms and a tail made of bone.
His sanity was now teetering on the brink, at risk of being swallowed by primal murderous urges at any moment.
Yang Tao, sitting on the sofa, watched the situation in the arena with interest. Even with some zombies clinging to the glass wall, it didn't dampen his enthusiasm.
Soon, the Super Licker, having finished its meal, could no longer suppress its inner desire. With a roar, it charged towards Alexander Isaacs.
Alexander Isaacs, naturally unwilling to show weakness, also roared and charged towards the Licker. The battle between the two was without any fancy moves.
The combat chip, lacking the support of the latest data, had also become useless.
Thud!
The Licker's sharp claws restrained Alexander Isaacs' arm. It opened its large mouth, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and bit towards Alexander Isaacs' head. But just as it was about to succeed, Alexander Isaacs' evolved tail fiercely stabbed towards its head.
Bang...
Although both were biological beings, the sharp tail and the Licker's tough keratin layer collided, producing a metallic clang.
The battle between the two was extremely fierce. Some brainless zombies were crushed into meat paste before they could even dodge.
The other three mutated zombies, possessing a hint of intelligence, huddled in a corner, trembling, fearing they would also be targeted.
The battle lasted for about ten minutes, and the ultimate victor was somewhat unexpected by Yang Tao: the Super Licker actually used Alexander Isaacs' tail to counter-kill him.
The Super Licker let out a roar to the sky, then bent down and began to feast.
"The T-Virus antidote is in the vault behind. So, you just need to get it, and you can save this New World."
The T-Virus antidote placed here was naturally not the ordinary version.
This was the only T-Virus antidote that could be spread through the air. Originally, Alexander Isaacs' plan was to hibernate in the Hive, wait for the T-Virus to completely destroy the New World, and then use this virus antidote to cure all T-Virus infected individuals.
Thereby becoming the 'god' of the New World. Unfortunately, neither now nor in the plot did he achieve this ambition.
"Mm, I know..."
Yang Tao stood up and stretched, then walked to the tinkers construct glass, looking at the dense crowd of zombies outside.
"Do you want to live?"
Alicia smiled upon hearing this and said, "The T-Virus started because of me. To be honest, I'm tired. Perhaps I shouldn't have lived from the beginning."
"Now outside..."
"Do you need me to send you on your way?"
Alicia's words were cut short by Yang Tao's faint remark.
Alicia: "..."
So uncomfortable.
It was like stopping at some crucial moment, neither up nor down, making her want to spit blood.
"You don't need to thank me, you deserve this."
Still the same words: Yang Tao would have no psychological burden if he killed everyone from the Umbrella Corporation.
He could swear that all the high-ranking Umbrella Corporation officials who died outside, plus Alicia who was sitting on the sofa unable to move, were all good material for the 'Human Emperor Banner'.
"Red Queen, open the vault."
As his words fell, the wall behind him split open, revealing a vault. A green, spiraling T-Virus antidote lay quietly inside.
He put the antidote into his backpack.
Yang Tao returned to Alicia's side and smiled, "I have nothing to give you before I leave."
He took out a nuclear bomb from his backpack and placed it beside her, then attached a Lever to it, placing Alicia's hand on the Lever.
"This is a somewhat special bomb. You just need to gently pull the Lever, and everything will end in thirty seconds..."
After speaking, Yang Tao walked directly towards the dormant area, using a 'Tempest Kick' to eliminate all the zombies gathered behind the glass.
30...
Crimson numbers appeared in his line of sight.
