Jonathan Takes the Lead

"I've come to halt the situation here and ensure it won't happen again, but I guess you can think that because you know about me... The only reason I didn't go against Umbrella is that I knew they would try to kill me, and just because I didn't have a plan, I never betrayed them."

Jonathan, saying this, looked at the door in front of him that was scanning him, and after a few seconds, it turned green, granting him access.

To be honest, Jonathan was surprised, more than surprised, he was very excited. If everything went well, he could have many of the problems solved, and that was just what he needed at this point.

Truth be told, now the safety of Leon and Ada took a back seat as they could take care of themselves. He is the one who needs to be careful to survive, as he was just a simple anomaly.

Rrrr!

Jonathan stopped a few meters away from two zombies, looked at them with indifference, and after confirming that there were no more enemies nearby, he took a knife from his leg, walked slowly toward the zombie, and attacked.

Crack!

Now that the zombie was in a state of decay, it was much simpler to eliminate them with a knife since these zombies, having a more vulnerable skull, was the easiest way to do it. However, Jonathan moved his knife to the temple, which was the most vulnerable point.

The moment his knife pierced the temple, the movements of these zombies stopped, and it was then that Jonathan prepared to finish off the next enemy.

Crack!

This time the knife in Jonathan's hand got stuck in the zombie's temple, forcing him to exert more force than required, and because of that, blood splattered on his clothes, giving him a somewhat dark appearance.

The indifference in Jonathan's eyes was by no means normal, which changed a lot how he acted lately. Truth be told, he never expected to change this way, but the situation required it.

"Guide Ada and Leon to meet us; they will help me deal with the monsters along the way and help me get out of here alive," Jonathan said as he walked among the corpses of the undead he had eliminated.

Annette had watched Jonathan's performance and thought about it. She knew that William was evolving in an uncontrolled way, and if no one is here to end his life, she should solve what she couldn't stop in the first place.

"Zz... They are on their way; they took the long route, so they will arrive at the same time."

Jonathan continued to advance, eliminating zombies is not at all pleasant since he always used more force than required, as if he still feared that he wouldn't eliminate them correctly. That persistent fear was still within him, and he knew he had to eliminate it from his system.

As he advanced, he soon reached an open space where a cable car was, and further ahead, two figures were waiting for him.

"Jonathan!" Leon immediately felt relieved to see him; he knew he was on his way, so he was glad he wasn't injured.

When Jonathan approached, he saw a wound on Ada's leg, but there was no time now to ask, so they first entered the cable car, and after sitting down, he said, "How is she?"

"She got injured."

"I'm fine," Ada replied, who had a wounded leg, and now that they were heading to the underground laboratory, Jonathan had forgotten the fact that Ada was wearing the bracelet that gave her many of the necessary accesses he required.

He didn't need it now, but due to his concerns that hadn't yet detached from what is morally correct, he asked Annette to stop setting traps for Ada on the way.

"We're heading to the lab; you'll be a burden when we get there, so stay in a safe place," Jonathan said without feeling sorry for Ada's condition, who wouldn't appreciate Jonathan's false concern if he showed it.

"You must know that this is vital to me, help me since you and Leon are my last hope."

"I also need the G-virus; that's a matter of life or death." Jonathan didn't want to be the hero, but if the opportunity allows, he would give Ada what she wanted, not out of pity but possibly to earn extra points.

"In the end, it's all about points..." Jonathan muttered as he looked outside the cable car.

Jonathan took off his trench coat, revealing his vest with all those magazines full of cartridges, and said, "But I'm sure Leon will help you; just stay here and wait."

No one could allow Ada to be a burden, so Leon stood up beside Jonathan, and both watched as the cable car slowly stopped.

"The plot doesn't change; I'm not here for that since my only goal is to survive..." Jonathan muttered slightly as he took his rifle.

Jonathan had taken Leon's route, unaware of Claire's whereabouts, but still, he walked confidently towards his goal, which was the laboratory.

Checking the time, he thought Jill might have woken up.

Knowing that, Jonathan had to quicken his pace.

There were many secret missions, Jill, Claire, and many more. Rebecca was probably the only one not considered for the secret missions in this simulation.

"I found a map," said Leon as he examined it alongside Jonathan, who was checking the surroundings.

After obtaining the map, Jonathan was quite familiar with the terrain here. With a quick glance, he went straight to the break room through the cafeteria.

After getting an employee chip, he inserted it into an ID bracelet, thus gaining the authority Annette had granted him.

In these laboratories, there are three levels of identification.

Authentication is done through an electronic chip on a bracelet. By inserting different electronic chips, access rights to different areas of this not-so-large laboratory can be changed.

Walking towards the center of the laboratory, it was known that the authority for the east zone is not enough for what they have now, so they must strictly go through a designated area.

Jonathan also knew that the West District was where the G-virus was stored.

Walking down a hallway in search of reaching a meeting room, Leon and he could see an employee pressed against the glass by a mutated plant, holding the required top-level personnel chip in hand.

"We need to get that..." Jonathan looked at Leon and pointed to the ID chip.

But seeing that the plants here were mutated, Jonathan wondered if an RPG would be enough to destroy the glass that should be bulletproof.

"No, that would be harmful to the laboratory..." Jonathan thought as he explored the area in the hope of gaining points.

To kill the mutated plants in this place, they had to burn them to death. Jonathan had incendiary grenades but not many.

Boom!

Seeing a group of mutated plants gathered, Jonathan threw an incendiary grenade, and it exploded forcefully.

"Go for it; I'll handle this!" Jonathan said as he aimed his pistol.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each powerful shot tore through the plants that had the employee trapped in them.

Leon took this opportunity to grab the chip and insert it into his bracelet.

Tap-tap! Tap-tap!

But at that moment, both heard heavy footsteps, and soon there was another explosion.

Boom!

At that instant, a massive figure over two meters tall had punched through the wall with a huge fist.
