Chapter 63 The Kind Female Detective_1

Watching the missile disappear into the sky, Chris's brows furrowed tightly, intuition telling him this was no ordinary missile.

They couldn't delay any longer!

He charged onto the deck with Piers, each aiming their guns at the real and fake Ada Wong.

"Which one of you is Ada Wong of the New Umbrella?"

"Her." Carla instantly pointed at Ada Wong.

"Carla, you're really good at framing people."

Ada Wong wanted to retort, but suddenly a helicopter rose from beneath the warship, its searchlight blasting a blinding glare that made it impossible to keep one's eyes open, as someone aboard raised a sniper rifle.

Bang bang!

The sound of gunfire rang out in succession, Carla's body penetrated by the sniper bullets, staggering back two steps, muttering, "He's caught me."

Her body fell backwards weakly, dropping from the second deck's dozen meters height, crashing heavily onto the first level.

To kill one was to kill, to kill two was no different; the assassin believed he had fulfilled Simmons' kill order and took off in the helicopter toward the horizon.

Ada Wong knew who the 'he' Carla mentioned was – it could only be Simmons. Struck by the sniper rifle, she fell to the ground.

But thanks to the nanobots within her, the bullets didn't truly kill her.

Countless nanoworms inside Ada Wong's body began to repair the damage, a 7.62mm sniper bullet squeezed out from her smooth back.

Clink!

The bullet casing dropped onto the deck with a crisp sound, and looking at her back again, it was restored to its smooth, fair condition without a trace of injury.

The incident unfolded in mere seconds, and Chris witnessed it all. Such a level of self-healing he had only seen before in bio-organic monsters and Wesker.

Chris shouted, "And you still say you're not Ada Wong of the New Umbrella?"

"Hehe, this has nothing to do with the virus."

"It's something a man left inside my body."

Ada Wong stood up on her own, and while the two men were distracted, she leapt from the deck into the sea, not having the time to entangle with the two soldiers.

Ada Wong was injured.

The moment she was shot, Qin Ming's Nano System received the message.

Injured area: back. Damage identification: bullet penetration wound, Nano System commencing repairs, repair complete.

Qin Ming refocused his thoughts, Ada Wong didn't need his concern; this female spy was cunning by nature, and now that she had nanobots, as long as she wasn't foolish enough to directly confront heavy weaponry, ordinary firearms couldn't kill her.

Beyond that, through the Nano System in Ada's body, Qin Ming knew the missile had been launched. Just to be safe, he put on a gas mask for himself and the other researchers, and closed the garage door.

Tonight, Tokyo was about to become very lively.

A few minutes later.

Two missiles exploded according to their programmed trajectories, one above Tokyo International Airport.

The other burst over Ginza, Tokyo's busiest shopping district, and the deep blue viral smoke swept through the area like a tidal wave, turning most within a five-kilometer radius into terrifying zombies in a matter of minutes or even seconds, save for a few lucky ones.

They numbered in the tens of thousands, swarming through skyscrapers and running through the streets and alleys, tearing apart any living thing they could see.

On the streets, the horror of the dead consuming the living began.

At the airport, of the few planes that had just taken off, only one managed to ascend successfully, the others crashing from mid-air because their pilots were infected, severely exploding on impact with the ground, transforming into raging fireballs.

The area surrounding the airport had become an inferno.

Explosions, wails, screams, and curses were incessant; Tokyo had indeed become a hell on earth.

A massive 737 airliner skimmed past the New Umbrella Building and crashed into a nearby hotel, billowing thick smoke.

A gaping hole was torn open on the side of the plane, and a dozen lucky individuals frantically ran out from the hole, their faces marked by fear, not looking back, as if something terrifying were behind them.

Lao Hu had just crawled out of the hole when he turned to look back, a large group of zombies were falling out of the plane through the hole.

"Damn it!"

He grabbed his daughter and wife and started to sprint, wishing he had a couple more legs right now.

Time rewound to the morning when, persuaded by his wife, Lao Hu reluctantly purchased three tickets for a flight back home. Waiting at the airport until night for their flight, their plane had just taken off when it was hit by a virus missile.

They were unlucky yet fortunate—fortunate to have survived, but unfortunate to be alive in Tokyo.

Around the New Umbrella Building, a female investigator was running for her life, with hordes of zombies attracted to her and desperately lunging at her.

"Damn!"

The zombies were about to grasp the hem of her clothing; she spun around, raised her pistol, and ruthlessly pulled the trigger on the nearest zombie. The zombie's head now had a new hole and fell to the ground—it was the last bullet in her pistol.

She discarded the empty pistol, while two lecherous zombies kept doggedly pursuing her, with more zombies incessantly emerging from both sides of the street.

Cornered, the female investigator suddenly saw ahead that two zombies attempting to step into the building were sliced into three sections, from knee to neck, at the very moment they crossed the threshold.

Could it be?

There was no choice but to try!

She glanced at the encircling zombies, bit her lip, changed direction, and started running towards the main entrance of the building with long strides.

The female investigator leaped, stepped onto the stairs, and arrived at the entrance.

She lay on the ground, crawling forward, and after successfully getting inside, she anxiously turned her head. Right in front of her, and only a door away, three zombies with their guts exposed lunged at her with gaping mouths.

"A Met Die!!!"

The female investigator could only instinctively raise her hands, but a few seconds later, the anticipated death did not occur.

Upon opening her eyes, she saw the three ferocious zombies that had been so close were now divided carcasses on the ground.

"It's unbelievable!"

She knew she had gambled correctly.

The investigator who survived the ordeal rose from the ground, her heart still pounding as she looked at the frenzied zombies outside.

Death hadn't disappeared, it had simply been shifted elsewhere.

A woman was tackled to the ground by a zombie, with gnawing and screaming sounds accompanied by blood splatter.

She couldn't bear to watch any longer and turned her gaze to another part of the street, where she saw three people being relentlessly pursued by zombies.

It looked to be a family, with the girl and her mother seemingly about to run out of strength.

After an internal struggle, the kindness and justice of the investigator overcame her selfishness,

She stood at the entrance, waving her arms towards Lao Hu and his family, who were being chased by zombies outside, and bravely shouted:

"Crawl in here!"

"It's safe here!"
