Chapter 11

Zheng stopped hiding his anger as he walked the path. He wasn’t walking too fast. Every person that he walked by felt a strange pressure and instinctively stepped away from him. It wasn’t until he reached the corridor leading to the executive office before the guards stopped him.

“Pardon me. Please show your pass!” Several guards stopped him and one of them said.

Zheng quietly estimated the time then smiled at the guards. A crimson light flashed across from Zheng’s hand before the guards reacted. Then they watched in terror as their upper body fell off. Zheng had already stepped pass them.

“I said all of you here must die!” He said as he gritted his teeth.

He walked toward the office with Tiger’s Soul in his hand. A dangerous aura surrounded him. It was rare to see such aura from him but things wouldn’t end so easily when it did.

Zheng slashed the sword across everyone he saw on the way. His destructive power was greatly increased with Tiger’s Soul on hand especially with its light blade. The only sword he had encountered that could counter the light blade was Excalibur. Otherwise, the light blade formed by Qi could cut through everything.

The sharp siren rang after he killed the 27th person. He was less than 100 meters from the office. At the end of the corridor was a red wooden door. Zheng had entered unlocked mode. He could tell that there were dozens of guards behind the door judging by the sound of their breathing, heartbeats, and the friction from their movements. He could even tell their positions.

Zheng smiled coldly. He put the dragonshard necklace on then pushed the door open and walked in. There were indeed dozens of guards behind the door. All of them wore full armor with gas masks and held assault rifles aiming at him.

Pah, pah, pah. An old man in casual attire sitting behind the guards clapped his hands with a smile. “Good. Your combat strength is incredible. I have seen everything that happened on your way here. I am curious where did your weapon come from? In the video, the weapon suddenly appeared in your hand. Oh, and the four rings also.”

Zheng gave him a cold smile. “I don’t have any obligation to answer your questions. However, since you are going to do something for me in while, I will answer you. This weapon and the rings were in this ring that you took from me. Now it’s your turn. Where are the surveillance videos?”

The old man showed a surprised expression. He gave a serious look at the ring then laughed. “If what you said is true, then we have done something stupid by handing a ring more valuable than you back. But it’s all good. The ring is still here. The surveillance videos are right behind you.” He pointed to the door behind Zheng.

Zheng turned his head around and saw monitors embedded over the door. The old man could see these monitors from where he was sitting. The screens showed the corridors he just walked past and all the dead bodies lying there.

“Then you are useless.” Zheng turned back around and smiled coldly.

He slashed Tiger’s Soul horizontally. The guards also opened fire when he moved the sword. The dozens of rifles instantly shredded the door behind him and pierced countless holes on the wall. Zheng finished the slash, everything the light blade moved past was cut in half. Bodies of the guards who were firing as they moved began to slide off from their lower body. Those who were standing still took two or three more seconds before their bodies fell off. The scene was terrifying for normal people. A translucent barrier enveloped Zheng. All the bullets stopped at the barrier. The dragonshard protected him from the dozens of rifles.

The old man looked dumbfounded. He never imagined the situation would develop like this. Zheng was still eight meters away from the guards. He couldn’t run faster than the bullets. That was why the old man looked calm and in control. However, Zheng didn’t even need to get close to the guards. A slash with that red sword from distance cut the guards in half like there was an invisible blade. And a barrier that you would only see in sci-fi movies appeared. Everything happened beyond his imagination. The old man opened his mouth wide and stared at Zheng as if this was the first time he saw him.

Zheng ignored him then turned back around to the monitors. “Switch the locations, go to where Alice is.”

The old man shivered and his mind came back from the shock. He was obviously scared of dying. He quickly pointed a remote at the monitors. The screens jumped several times then the healing center appeared. However, the area was in a mess. Researchers were lying on the floor moaning. A man wanted to get up but he seemed beaten up and couldn’t do it.

Zheng then said. “Switch locations. Show all the corridors going from the healing center to the entrance of the facility.”

Old man was obedient. He kept switching the surveillance cameras and finally got to the entrance of the facility. A blonde woman was standing there. A hundred guards were pointing their guns at her. This scene was so similar to when he opened the door.

A black sedan drove over and stopped outside the guards. A man and woman got off the sedan. It was Carlos and Jill. Carlos handed a piece of document to the guard leader. Jill walked past them to Alice. She said something in a low voice then grabbed her hand. They walked to the car. Carlos also got on after them and the car drove away.

Zheng watched until they reached a road block. Then he turned back to the old man. “Call them, let them pass.”

The old man didn’t pick up the phone. He let out a sigh of relief and said. “Let them pass? Do you think they can leave the road block safely? I can guarantee the paper they have is questionable. It will let them in but leaving is not so easy. You are right I can let them leave immediately but what about my own safety? I don’t think you will let me go. I am not going to make the call until my safety is guaranteed. It doesn’t matter if you kill me. If I have to die either way, why would I want to die after being used by you?”

Zheng smiled. He took off his necklace and threw it on the table in front of the old man. Once the old man picked it up, he grabbed a rifle from the floor and fired at him. That scared the old man then he realized the barrier.

“Good enough? The dragonshard necklace can create a barrier to protect you. You are safe now.” Zheng said with a cold smile.

Old man looked over the necklace then took out a handgun from the drawer. He carefully aimed it at his hand and pulled the trigger. The bullet was indeed blocked by a translucent barrier. He let out a sigh of relief then picked up the phone.

Zheng ignored him. He went back to the monitors. He could see that the guards received a phone call then let the black sedan leave. After the sedan drove far away, turned around.

“Sorry I lied.”

Zheng slashed Tiger’s Soul across and the old man’s head fell on the table. His expression paused in shock.

“The necklace only blocks sci-fi weapons. Tiger’s Soul isn’t one.” He picked the necklace back up and put it on his neck. Then he took out the Bracelet of Anubis.

“Let’s begin. Everyone here needs to die!”

Zheng left the corridor leading to the office. He didn’t know the current situation in the facility. However, the non-stop sirens signaled that the whole facility was on alert. What he needed to do was make the disturbance even more intense and attract everyone. He would then kill them all.

Zheng summoned the Anubis army as he walked. He had enough blood energy to summon a thousand at this point. This three meter tall monsters with a dogs head and holding large swords packed the corridor. They were awaiting for Zheng’s commands.

“Kill. Kill every person you see!” Zheng took a deep breath then shouted. He pointed Tiger’s Soul to the inner part of the facility.

The Anubis warriors howled. They ran along the corridor. Their bodies seemed large and bulky but their movements were extremely nimble. The warriors also had the abilities of the Mummy Guards in that they defied gravity and ran along the walls and ceiling.

In a lobby at the end of the corridor, over a hundred guards stood nervously on alert. They aimed their guns at corridor. The whole facility’s defense was activated as soon as they learned that the G virus carrier went berserk and started killing. An endless supply of guards entered the facility and occupied the important lobbies. They had confirmed a board member was killed so the higher ups sent orders to destroy the G virus carrier before he caused more damage.

The guards were wearing armors similar to hazmat suits. Their guns had been swapped to the biggest models. Several also carried RPGs. Over a hundred of them guarded by the corridor. No matter how strong the G virus carrier was, the human body was still flesh. Barriers similar to this one was placed throughout the facility.

“Be careful. Open fire immediately if you see anyone come around the corner. Don’t leave a thing alive!” A man in suit shouted to the guards.

He held a device on his hand then shouted at it. “Jack, the G virus carrier isn’t here yet. Don’t activate the Nemesis. We might be able to… God! What is that?”

As the first Anubis warrior ran across the ceiling, a swarm of them followed. The dog head monsters all came out from the corner of the corridor. The guards were shocked for a moment then they pulled the triggers as they cried. Everyone seemed terrified. It wasn’t only because they were monsters but also their numbers.

The first warrior didn’t get destroyed by their guns because the guards were shocked at the time. It ran a long distance on the ceiling before they opened fire. The gun shots crushed its legs but by the time it dropped down from the ceiling, the legs had reconstructed. These monsters couldn’t die as long as their heads weren’t destroyed. The guards relaxed for a moment seeing its legs destroyed so the Anubis warrior was able to charge into them after recovering.

The large sword cut through the guard nearest to it. A head fell and roll on the floor. Several guards near him cried out and fired at its chest. Sand burst out in the air. However, that wasn’t the correct target because the Anubis warriors weren’t human. The sword continued to slash across, killing one and injuring several. Another guard was cut in half on his neck. Moans of pain were spreading from the group.

“Hold them!” The man in suit yelled as he ran away because a never ending army of these monsters were coming out from the corner of the corridor. Gradually, the hundred guards couldn’t hold them off anymore. The Anubis warriors weren’t just running at them from the floor but also on the walls and ceiling. Most importantly, their bodies were formed by sand. They wouldn’t disappear as long as their heads weren’t crushed. They were breaking through the guards’ defense.

The rest of the guards hesitated when they saw the man started running away. Dozens of them also wanted to run which weakened their defense even more. The decrease in firepower caused the line of defense to collapse at last. Those with RPGs immediately fired their missiles. Multiple explosions followed. Near a hundred of these warriors got killed. The guards fell forward to avoid the gust of wind and sand. Yet, they opened their eyes to a still never ending number of monsters coming from the corner. The nearest one charged into these guards. Over ten guards were killed several slashes later. The remaining guards all ran after the man in suit.

The man turned his head around to see situation. When he saw the Anubis warriors broke into his people, he yelled at the device almost with insanity. “Support! We require support! A lot of monsters appeared in the corridor! Images have been uploaded. We need support! Get all the backups outside the facility here!”

Several men in the surveillance room also looked in shock. They had a clear view of the thousand monsters through the monitors. Among these monsters was the G virus carrier. What confused them was how the G virus carrier got along with these monsters peacefully. The monsters seemed like Egyptian mythical creatures. They were massacring guards who couldn’t run away fast enough. Over eighty guards were chopped into paste.

“Support! Send all the backups from the weapon testing center over! This place is getting run over. Over a thousand monsters are charging through! There aren’t many important things in the center aside from some data. Leave a hundred guards and send the rest over!” One of the men yelled at the communication device. He seemed to be panicking.

The others also panicked. One person picked up the device and said. “Release Nemesis #3 to #7. Bring them to the central lobby. Everything in the facility is important experiment subjects and there are hundreds of evolved Lickers frozen underneath. No one is going to live if the power goes out!”

Zheng wasn’t simply heading toward the central lobby. He was destroying everything on the way. Tiger’s Soul had impressive attack range and the light blade was extremely sharp. He ran behind the Anubis warriors and slashed at the walls and machines, leaving ruins and sparks on all the places he ran by. The ruin was extending toward the central lobby. He could totally destroy the power system by the time he reach the central lobby, which was what these men feared.

These men in suit were obviously higher ups in Umbrella Corporation. Their orders quickly reached the weapon testing center and the guards readied themselves. Several thousand guards formed lines and jogged. Ten minutes later, only a hundred were left in this center along with some half human weapons. This was the most fragile time of this weapon testing base.

Not far from the base, the rest of team China stood in a pitch black area. Xuan looked at the base and said. “Begin. Gando go destroy its exterior.”
