As night gradually began to dissipate, with the stars and moon disappearing, the time had already entered the early hours of the morning. The Umbrella Corporation's scheduled air raid was not far off, and Tang Cheng and his group were sitting on a bus, heading towards the location provided by Dr. Ash.
Although the final deadline was approaching, there was little anxiety on their faces; instead, they were chatting and laughing with ease.
"You guys really opened my eyes. I've been through countless battles, and I've killed countless zombies this night, but I never imagined that a mere pair of underwear could tame zombies..." Carlos said with a sigh, his tone filled with admiration, but more so with a sense of incomprehension.
"Don't mix me up with that pervert," said Jill, who was driving at the front. Alice and Rebecca also nodded quickly, their feelings almost identical to Carlos's.
"But it's precisely because of that pervert that we can be so relaxed now," Alice added.
No one could argue with this point, especially Lu Xiaotian. As the true owner of the goddess's underwear, he had never thought that the item he once considered a source of shame would play such a significant role at this critical moment, even to the point of reversing the entire situation. He couldn't help but feel a bit regretful; if it had been him instead of Tang Cheng, perhaps he would have also gained respect.
Of course, he also knew that even if he had known the power of the goddess's underwear beforehand, he probably wouldn't have had the courage to do what Tang Cheng did. Only someone who truly feared nothing could have such courage.
"Thank you for the praise," Tang Cheng said with a smile, accepting the teasing from the others.
Seeing his expression of pride rather than shame, Su Xiaoqing, who was sitting at the back, sighed softly.
"What's wrong, feeling unwell?" Tang Ya asked.
Su Xiaoqing shook her head and said in a slightly regretful tone, "Actually, if he had been holding a weapon instead of underwear at that moment, it would have been really impressive. I almost fell for him, but thinking about it being a pair of underwear... sigh, he could have been a god, but why be a pervert?"
Tang Ya was speechless. But upon careful consideration, although Tang Cheng wasn't the type of man she idealized, his calmness in the face of danger, his optimistic and invincible spirit, and his confidence that could infect others, combined with his good looks, were indeed enough to make most women fall for him.
Not to mention Su Xiaoqing, even she occasionally felt a flutter in her heart, but unfortunately... he was a pervert.
"What's wrong with being a pervert?" Tang Cheng suddenly turned around and glared at them, "Ignorant mobile and telecom."
Realizing their private conversation had been overheard, the two women blushed and awkwardly lowered their heads.
...
Time passed bit by bit, and soon they arrived near the location agreed upon with Dr. Ash. It was a skyscraper, and according to Dr. Ash, the helicopter was on the open square inside the building. Of course, the Umbrella Corporation wouldn't just leave the helicopter there; at the moment, there were two to three dozen soldiers patrolling and guarding the building, each armed with machine guns and fully equipped.
With such firepower, it was almost impossible for Tang Cheng and his group to break through from the front, especially with the Umbrella Corporation's snipers hidden in places they couldn't see.
However, Dr. Ash had already informed them about the Umbrella Corporation's security arrangements, and they had prepared a plan on the way.
"According to the plan, you will break through from the front to draw their attention, while I will sneak into the building and coordinate from the inside... Remember, wait for my signal before you act..."
Alice was speaking seriously, but before she could finish, a strange voice suddenly came from behind them.
"Is it really that simple?"
Everyone turned sharply to see a white man slowly emerging from the darkness, followed by a squad of fully armed soldiers, with over twenty gun barrels pointed directly at them. At the same time, more than a dozen soldiers leaped out from the surrounding buildings, and even the soldiers guarding the front of the building ran over.
In an instant, they were surrounded.
Under the threat of dozens of machine guns, no one dared to make a move, not even Tang Cheng, who couldn't withstand the barrage from all directions.
"Do you think I wouldn't know what you're planning?" The white man walked forward, looking at them with a mocking expression, then snapped his fingers. Someone pushed a wheelchair out from behind him.
"Dad!" Angie shouted at the person in the wheelchair.
It was Dr. Ash.
"I've known about your deal with Dr. Ash and the fact that you defeated the Tracker. But do you know why I didn't react? I was waiting for you, waiting for you to fall into my trap..." As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a gun and shot Dr. Ash in the chest.
Dr. Ash trembled, blood flowing from his mouth, his heart clearly hit, and he was obviously not going to survive.
"Ah!" Angie let out a painful cry, nearly fainting.
"Those who betray the company must die, and those who resist the company cannot live, but you two can be exceptions..." The white man put away his gun and pointed at Tang Cheng and Alice, "If you are willing to surrender..."
"Before you say so much, let me interrupt," Tang Cheng raised his hand and interrupted him, smiling, "Actually, I have something to say to you too. You, shouldn't have shown yourself."
"Hmph, it seems you don't want to surrender. If so..." The white man nodded and turned back, raising his left hand and waving it lightly, "Kill them..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a figure suddenly darted out of the darkness like a bolt of lightning, biting into his throat, and blood spurted out.
It was a zombie!
"Aaaaah..." A piercing scream echoed in the air.
The soldiers quickly aimed their guns at the zombie, but they hesitated to fire, as the white man and the zombie were in such close contact. If they fired, their leader would die first.
Because of this hesitation, some of them never got the chance to fire.
With better stealth abilities than crawlers and faster attack speeds than cheetahs, when the remaining nine mutated zombies in the darkness attacked together, nine soldiers lost their lives almost simultaneously.
Without their leader, they immediately fell into chaos. Their hurried shots not only failed to kill the agile zombies but also killed their own comrades, and in a short time, the screams drowned out the gunfire.
As soon as the first zombie attacked, Tang Cheng and his group also acted, taking advantage of the enemy's focus on the zombies to quickly break out of the encirclement.
A few minutes later, the gunfire and screams outside continued, but Tang Cheng and his group had already found the helicopter they needed and ran into it through the open rear door.
"Who can fly the plane?" Jill asked as soon as they got in.
"I'll do it!" Carlos volunteered, quickly moving to the cockpit. Soon, the helicopter was slowly rising.
At this moment, everyone's tense and uneasy hearts finally calmed down, and Tang Ya and Su Xiaoqing hugged each other, crying with joy.
However, none of them saw that on the rooftop of a building, a zombie was squatting on the ground, looking up at the sky and roaring fiercely.
As it roared, its hands began to change, transforming into a pair of fleshy wings.
Swish!
With a flap of its wings, the zombie slowly took flight, and its blood-red eyes focused on the helicopter flying in the sky, quickly chasing after it.
After the helicopter had flown for a short while, Carlos, who was in the cockpit, suddenly noticed the radar beeping. He looked down and frowned, "Not good! Something is chasing us."
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked towards the still-open rear door...
"God! What is that?"
"A zombie? A zombie is really flying..."
"Quick! Close the door!"
Rebecca, who was closest to the control panel, tried to close the door, but, "No! It needs a password, and I don't know it!"
"Damn! How could this happen?" Everyone's faces turned grim. They were already at the final moment, and this was the last thing they needed.
Tang Cheng was also helpless. Although he could find the password in super mode, there wasn't enough time. Moreover, due to the battle with the Tracker, his muscle cells were almost destroyed, and even after taking the backup golden crystal, his body couldn't fully recover in such a short time.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to take such a risk at the station. In fact, without the second golden crystal, Tang Cheng would have likely died from cell collapse after defeating the Tracker.
So at this moment, everyone could only pray that the helicopter would fly faster and shake off the flying zombie before it caught up.
However!
The flying zombie's speed was faster than the helicopter. In a short time, the distance between them was less than five meters, and everyone could clearly see its grotesque face.
Alice and the others instinctively opened fire, but the helicopter was already unstable, and the air was turbulent. Even at a distance of less than five meters, they couldn't hit the flying zombie's head. The bullets only created a few small holes in its fleshy wings, doing no real damage.
In the next moment, the flying zombie suddenly opened its mouth, and its tongue shot out like a spear, instantly piercing Tang Cheng's abdomen, then coiled around, pulling him over.
"Tang Cheng!" Seeing this, Alice's face changed drastically, and she instinctively stopped attacking, hugging Tang Cheng from behind. At the same time, Jill also lunged at Tang Cheng, grabbing his foot tightly, preventing him from being pulled away.
But their actions reduced the firepower to seventy percent, and only Rebecca could still attack, but she alone couldn't possibly drive away the flying zombie.
Tang Cheng, however, remained calm in this situation. Once his body stabilized, he quickly drew his military knife and cut off the zombie's tongue.
"Ugh!"
But his reaction was still a step too slow. As soon as the tongue was cut off, the flying zombie used the momentum to pounce, biting Tang Cheng's left hand and tearing at it fiercely.
At the same time, the impact from the flying zombie caused the helicopter to shake violently, and everyone except Tang Cheng and Carlos was thrown around.
The intense pain in his arm made Tang Cheng frown, and he subconsciously sniffed, catching a familiar scent. He sneered, "So, you're the one who stole my head, and you came to me instead of the other way around. Not only did you eat the Tracker, but you also ate the crawler, so you evolved into this form and are now after my flesh. Haha... Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you!"
As he spoke, Tang Cheng's right hand swung, and a cold light flashed, followed by a spray of blood. He... actually cut off his left arm at the shoulder!
Without anything to hold onto, the flying zombie was thrown out.
But Tang Cheng wasn't about to let it go. With his remaining right hand, he quickly grabbed the rifle from Alice and, before the flying zombie could adjust its position, aimed at its head and pulled the trigger.
"And... goodbye."
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Six shots in quick succession shattered the flying zombie's head, and its headless body fell helplessly.
"Killed the third type of mutated zombie, gained 500 survival points and a cycle card."
The cold voice echoed in Tang Cheng's mind again.
Before he could recover, a loud explosion came from outside, and a destructive force seemed to engulf everything. Endless white light instantly covered Tang Cheng's vision, and he vaguely saw a metal rod spinning towards him...
"New world instance main quest completed, gained 500 base survival points, returning to the cycle space."
In the next moment, Tang Cheng's consciousness went blank.
