Chapter 23

"Mutual Luluba, Mutual Luluba, full of righteousness and great skills, Dinding's little brother is the biggest, Dinding's little brother is the biggest, la~ la la la... little brother is the biggest..."

On the desolate street, there was no light, no vitality, only a faint moonlight shining down from the sky, making the surroundings seem particularly desolate and quiet. But in such an environment, there was a voice that was extremely out of place.

"What song are you singing?" a girl's voice asked.

The singing stopped, and the response came, "The theme song of Mutual Luluba."

"Mutual Luluba?"

"Yep. Mutual Luluba tells the touching and inspiring story of seven boys with different skills who were first driven to the brink of life and death by a sexy and beautiful older sister, but then they turned the tables and drove her to the brink of life and death... Mutual Luluba, Mutual Luluba, full of righteousness and great skills, Dinding's little brother is the biggest..."

As he spoke, he started singing again.

"Can you stop singing? Although the tune is nice, I feel a bit weird about it..."

"Don't like it? Okay, I'll sing 'Sword and Blade Trade' instead." He cleared his throat and sang again, "It was you who wanted to form a team, form a team, now you want to solo, kick me out, flirting isn't as easy as you think, don't think I'll come back when you're lonely at night..."

"I finally understand why your ex-girlfriend broke up with you," a slightly more mature female voice said before he could finish.

"Really, is it because I'm too handsome?"

"...Just pretend I didn't say anything."

These three people were naturally Tang Cheng, Alice, and Rebecca. After leaving the second research institute, the three of them followed the tire tracks in the direction where Tang Ya and Li Guodong's group had left... The armored vehicle was heavy, and its tracks were easy to identify on the soft ground. Of course, even on concrete, Tang Cheng could still see them, which was not difficult.

As for why they were going to find them, each of the three had their own reasons.

First was Rebecca, a girl with a strong sense of justice. After Tang Cheng analyzed that Tang Ya and the others might have been attacked by zombies, she felt it was necessary to rescue her companions. Although Alice didn't have as strong a sense of justice, she also had her reasons, and the direction Tang Ya and the others were heading was also the direction out of the city, so it was a two-for-one deal.

As for Tang Cheng, this guy didn't even care about his own life, so saying he cared about others' lives would be a bit of a stretch. However, Tang Ya still needed to be saved, not because he had any feelings for her, but because Tang Ya had... the medicine!

After his battle with the crawler in the pit, although he had gained a lot, he had also consumed a lot. Not being able to activate the super mode in the short term would be very troublesome. If a tracker attacked at any time and Alice and Rebecca couldn't hold it off, he would likely die too.

Although Tang Cheng wasn't afraid of death, he didn't want to die so soon. Besides, he found this cycle world quite interesting. If he died in this beginner's dungeon, it would be embarrassing and shameful.

According to the information he had, the only thing that could restore him to the point where he could activate the super mode in the short term was Tang Ya's medicine. So, if there was a chance, Tang Ya still needed to be protected.

Of course, this was just what Tang Cheng thought internally. Externally, he wouldn't say it like that. In his words, it would be something like: "If I don't take the medicine, how can I become cute?"

The three of them walked along, and since they were in a remote area, finding a car was basically impossible, so they had to walk. Alice and Rebecca were worried about their own and Tang Ya's safety, so they were somewhat heavy-hearted and anxious, and very alert to their surroundings. Only Tang Cheng was carefree and could even sing happily.

If they were dissatisfied, they didn't show it. After all, after spending some time together, they had some understanding of Tang Cheng's personality. Because of Tang Cheng, the atmosphere on the journey wasn't as heavy, and their moods could relax, which was a good thing. They were just a bit speechless about Tang Cheng's antics.

However, this relaxed atmosphere didn't last long.

Not long after, as the three of them just reached a bridge, Alice's expression suddenly changed slightly.

Although Tang Cheng wasn't in super mode, his senses were always very sharp. Almost at the same time, he felt a sense of being watched.

"Watch out!" Alice suddenly shouted, grabbing Rebecca and diving to the side.

At the same time, Tang Cheng quickly leaped backward.

Not far from them, a large human figure was holding a rocket launcher. With a whoosh, a rocket shot straight at them.

Boom!

Almost at the moment they jumped, the smoking rocket exploded on the bridge, instantly blowing away a third of it. Debris flew everywhere, the explosion was deafening, and the flying rocks hit the three of them, causing them pain.

"Nemesis... it's Nemesis! Run!" Alice first glanced at the human-like creature under the bridge, her eyes somewhat confused, then as if remembering something, she shouted loudly.

Tang Cheng, of course, knew that the so-called Nemesis was a tracker, and this tracker was Matt, who had been modified by the Umbrella Corporation. If it were under normal circumstances, Tang Cheng would be very interested in challenging him, but now he couldn't activate the super mode, so he could only retreat and run with Alice and Rebecca.

Sigh, I really need to take the medicine.

The three of them ran quickly, but the tracker had no intention of letting them go. He put away the rocket launcher and pulled out a heavy machine gun, firing it with one hand.

This intense barrage had a very wide coverage. If it were ordinary people, escaping from such firepower would be impossible, but the three of them were all agile and narrowly avoided it.

The tracker probably knew that these three were not easy to deal with, and long-range shooting wouldn't work, so he immediately ran towards them.

Don't be fooled by his size, which was about twice that of a normal adult. His speed was no less than Alice, who had been enhanced by the T-virus. He ran smoothly and swiftly. Most incredibly, his jumping ability was such that with a light leap, his seemingly heavy body could jump up to a nearly three-meter-high bridge and then chase after them.

Tang Cheng, while fleeing, still managed to glance at him a few times. Although he had known about the tracker's strength from watching movies, seeing it in real life was a different experience.

"A large body means great strength, and his speed is the same as a normal person. If that were all, it wouldn't be too difficult to deal with, like a Schwarzenegger. But the problem is his equipment. He can use heavy weapons with great skill. With heavy weapons, he can easily eliminate a fully equipped STARS elite team. Our equipment is rudimentary, and only Alice can fight at full strength, so we have no chance of winning..."

"Moreover, the tracker's most powerful ability is his regenerative power. Theoretically, if you don't cut off his head or tear him into pieces, you can't kill him... In the movie, he only died after being shattered by a helicopter, and now he's probably even stronger."

Tang Cheng shook his head inwardly. Even while fleeing, he didn't give up thinking about how to deal with the tracker, but the conclusion was rather helpless. At least for now, they didn't have the strength to face the tracker head-on.

Moreover, since the tracker had appeared, the Umbrella Corporation was likely monitoring everything. Revealing all their cards now would be unwise.

So, in the end, he could only give up the idea of defeating the tracker.

To be honest, Tang Cheng's personality was somewhat contradictory. On one hand, he enjoyed the feeling of being on the brink of life and death, placing himself in a dangerous situation to feel the joy of being alive. On the other hand, he disliked trouble and didn't advocate facing enemies head-on. Instead, he preferred to wait for the enemy to be weak and then crush them with overwhelming strength.

It was like when he was young and retaliated against the bully for his crush.

At the time, he had seen the situation clearly. It wouldn't have been difficult to intervene when it happened, but if he had really faced the bully then, the bully's lackeys wouldn't have stood by. In a fight, he probably wouldn't lose, but he would have to pay a price.

Such a development would be troublesome for Tang Cheng, so he chose to retaliate the next day, making it easy and effective, and achieving a lasting deterrent.

The current situation was similar to the bully incident; there was no need to rush.

...

While Tang Cheng and the others were being pursued by the tracker, somewhere in Raccoon City, the entire process was being monitored. A white man in a suit, likely the person in charge of the incident, looked at the screen and asked, "Who are those two people?"

On the screen, the tracker was firing and chasing, and not far ahead, three figures were running at high speed.

He naturally recognized the woman, who was the most important part of the plan, Alice.

However, the other two were clearly not part of his plan.

As soon as the white man spoke, his female subordinate, who was operating the surveillance, brought up a file and said, "The girl is a medic in the STARS unit. Although she joined recently, her academic performance was excellent, making her a rare talent. As for the man, he was once an employee of the Umbrella Corporation... um, he worked as a toilet cleaner."

If Tang Cheng had heard this, he would probably have been a bit depressed: "I thought I was at least a security guard. What's with making me a toilet cleaner?"

The white man nodded and said indifferently, "They're useless. Kill them."
