Chapter 28

"Give me that person's information immediately!" After the shock, the white man in charge of the Raccoon City aftermath and the Hunter combat capability assessment immediately reacted, shouting, "His T-virus must have evolved on its own."

He wasn't worried about the Hunter losing. As a department head of the Umbrella Corporation, he certainly had the discernment. Although the Hunter seemed to be at a disadvantage in the battle, a closer analysis would reveal that it still had an overwhelming advantage. After all, the Hunter's greatest strength wasn't its heavy weaponry but its regenerative body, which almost made it invincible. In contrast, the janitor, with his weapons, couldn't cause any irreparable damage to the Hunter. Moreover, he had already been injured in the previous battle, and if it continued, he would eventually die.

Of course, even so, the appearance of a third person as powerful as the Hunter and Alice in Raccoon City was still a noteworthy event.

"Report, that person is not infected with the T-virus..." The female researcher sitting in front of the screen immediately pulled up Tang Cheng's information. With the Umbrella Corporation's means, it was easy to determine if someone was infected.

But her words made the white man's face change. "What did you say! He's not infected with the T-virus? A person who can face off against the Hunter isn't infected with the T-virus? Are you kidding me?!"

Hearing the anger in his voice, the female researcher felt a chill and quickly said, "Yes, yes. Although it's hard to believe, there are no signs of infection on this person. All the test reports indicate that he... is just a normal human."

The white man paused. "Then... what about his physical condition?"

"It's not much different from a normal person, but his data changes during combat. His maximum strength is three times that of a normal person, his maximum burst strength is five times, and his maximum reaction speed is six times. It's higher than the Hunter by two levels, but... these data points can't be maintained for long."

"Unstable power, huh?" The white man frowned, then seemed to remember something and said in a deep voice, "Right, he seems to be an Easterner. The previous resume report said he's from China. Could it be so-called Chinese kung fu?"

He absolutely didn't believe that an uninfected ordinary person could face off against the Umbrella Corporation's strongest weapon, the Hunter, but if it was mysterious Chinese kung fu, that was a different story.

"Director, what should we do next? After that battle, the Hunter's eyes were severely damaged, and part of its detection system is already out of commission. Should we recall it...?"

"No, no need." The white man interrupted the female researcher, saying, "Although it's a bit different from the plan, the current situation is actually beneficial to our research. Just right, another test subject in the plan has also arrived on the scene. Let the Hunter have a good fight with them and this Easterner who knows Chinese kung fu."

"But with their strength, if...?"

"If the Hunter loses, it just means it's not that great. The company can still produce such test subjects, and getting combat data is enough. If it wins, we'll recover the bodies of those two for the next research... hmm, a test subject who knows Chinese kung fu, I'm quite looking forward to it. Let's observe this battle well. No matter the outcome, it's beneficial to the company."

The white man smiled coldly, his tone icy and devoid of emotion.

While he was saying this, Alice was already charging at the Hunter. Although she was surprised by Tang Cheng's strength, she could see that he alone couldn't defeat the Hunter, so she wouldn't stand by and do nothing.

Bang! Bang!

The rifle shots drew the Hunter's attention. Upon discovering the most important combat target in front of it, it immediately turned its gun towards Alice and started firing.

Are firearms useless?

Realizing that the bullets had no effect on the Hunter, Alice decisively threw away the rifle, rolled on the ground to dodge the bullets, then jumped up and kicked the Hunter in the head.

The Hunter's body leaned back slightly, then quickly grabbed Alice's ankle and threw her away. Before she could land, it aimed its heavy machine gun to shoot.

"Damn, I've been wanting to say this. How can your machine gun keep firing without running out of bullets? Is it infinite?" At the same time, Tang Cheng's voice came from behind the Hunter. Taking advantage of the Hunter's focus on Alice, he suddenly attacked, slashing at its neck.

Although a throat cut wasn't fatal to the Hunter, if done enough times, it could theoretically decapitate it. Based on this idea, it was clear what kind of attack Tang Cheng would make.

However, without the burst strength and with the Hunter's tough body, this unprepared slash to rescue Alice only cut one centimeter into the flesh and couldn't go deeper.

In pain, the Hunter redirected its attack towards Tang Cheng. However, with its eyes damaged, part of its detection system was also out of commission, and its movements were not as agile as before. Tang Cheng, with his superhuman reflexes, easily dodged.

Noticing the Hunter's movements becoming sluggish, Tang Cheng knew his previous attacks had taken effect. He immediately went all out, leaving several more wounds on the Hunter in a short time.

Of course, he was also hit by the Hunter's attack, but fortunately, it was just a flesh wound.

On the other side, Alice's combat awareness was strong. After seeing Tang Cheng's attack, she quickly realized what he was trying to do. Without hesitation, she drew two military knives from her back and joined the attack on the Hunter.

Neither Tang Cheng nor Alice could match the Hunter in terms of strength, but two against one was a different story. In close combat, heavy weapons were basically useless. Even with the Hunter's power, it became a sitting duck as Tang Cheng and Alice attacked from all sides.

Moreover, although Alice's overall abilities were below the Hunter's, with the Hunter already injured, their reaction speeds were almost equal. Plus, Alice's smaller frame made her movements even more agile.

Two highly agile fighters against a large, powerful one, especially one that was injured and less agile, the outcome was clear. After a few minutes, the Hunter's movements became increasingly slow and heavy, clearly struggling to hold on.

But its enemies weren't in much better shape. The Hunter's strength was formidable, and in such close combat, even the most agile couldn't avoid being hit. Both Tang Cheng and Alice found it hard to withstand the Hunter's attacks.

In those few minutes, Alice's ribs were broken in several places, and her left arm was severely fractured, almost immobile. But the situation was even worse for Tang Cheng.

If it were just the injuries, he and Alice were about the same, but the hidden burden from the superhuman mode was something Alice didn't have.

Even with his meticulous planning, the superhuman mode's toll on his body couldn't be eliminated; it just delayed the body's collapse. By this point, he was at his limit. Every movement felt like his cells were screaming in pain, making it hard to maintain his composure.

Finally, with a punch to his shoulder, he was completely drained, collapsing like a broken puppet, unable to get up.

Seeing this, Alice's face changed dramatically. In a panic, she took a hit from the Hunter and plunged her two military knives into its throat.

"Gur..." The already heavily injured Hunter couldn't move after this attack, only able to make some meaningless sounds.

Alice tightly gripped the military knives, gritting her teeth and preparing to decapitate the Hunter, but suddenly her head ached, and a familiar memory flooded her mind, stopping her actions.

Seeing her like this, Tang Cheng knew Alice had likely recognized the Hunter's identity.

Sure enough.

"Matt? Matt... Matt!" When Alice looked up at the Hunter, her eyes were filled with tears. "You're Matt! Damn it, they turned you into this..."

"Ah!" Realizing her knives were still in Matt's neck, Alice quickly let go, covering her mouth, shaking her head, and stepping back, crying, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't know it was you... I'm sorry..."

"Cut his head off before you say sorry." Tang Cheng urged. "The one in front of you is the Umbrella Corporation's biological weapon, the Hunter, not Matt. I've already given you the chance to take his head. Why are you hesitating? Can we still have fun?"

"But, he's Matt..." Alice's face was covered in tears. If it were just the Hunter, she could fight to the death, but knowing his identity, how could she bring herself to cut his head off?

"Sentimental fool! Even if he was, he isn't now. If Matt still has consciousness and knows he's become a weapon for the Umbrella Corporation, aiding their evil, what do you think he would feel? If you don't kill him now, he'll continue to be used by the Umbrella Corporation. Killing him is saving him. Do you, flat-chested idiot, understand?"

Tang Cheng's words were like a splash of cold water, instantly restoring Alice's rationality.

Yes, if she became a mindless monster controlled by the Umbrella Corporation, she wouldn't be content, and Matt would feel the same. If he still had consciousness, he would want her to kill him.

"I'm sorry, I understand... Matt, please forgive me. I'll set you free. I swear, as long as I live, I will completely destroy the Umbrella Corporation and avenge you!"

Alice wiped away her tears, trembling as she reached out to decapitate the Hunter.

But, at that moment.

A figure darted out of the darkness, biting the Hunter's head before Alice could reach it, and with a snap, severed it.

"No!!!" Seeing this, Alice instinctively let out a heart-wrenching scream, trying to chase after the figure, but it had already disappeared into the darkness with the Hunter's head.

At the same time, Tang Cheng was furious. "Damn! In broad daylight, shamelessly stealing a kill. Is there no sense of decency left?!"
