Vol 23 Chapter 4-1: Resident Evil Begins(I) (2/2)

A riverside far away from team Devil. A team of a dozen were stopping there. God’s barrier hadn’t been cancelled yet. Thus, Resident Evil  Extinction hadn’t truly started yet. All the teams were forced to be stuck inside to await the time to come.

A blonde youth forcefully bit off a chunk of chocolate. He laughed coldly. “Thus, in order to force all the teams to not hide and try hard to battle, God gave a first chance of survival that weaklings absolutely cannot complete and a second chance where weaklings can try their luck. In truth? It’s a cruel method of weeding out the weak, who have absolutely zilch chance to survive!”

“Then what do you think? Neos, what’s your plan?” There were eleven members around Neos. A black man among them asked curiously.

“Of course it’s to ally with the strong!” Neos sighed, before changing to a cold smile. He bit off a piece of chocolate, saying as he ate, “Our strength isn't enough to survive this final battle safely. Even if this final battle is only a final battle in meaning, that’s only for the powerhouses of the fourth stage. This is the damnable final battle for us on the other hand. We have no alternative but to rely on the strong to battle.”

“The Angel Alliance? Big brother Neos, I don’t like that man Adam. He may smile warmly, but his eyes are filled with violence. I’m scared.”  A black little girl pulled at Neos’ hand.

“Of course not. That man Adam is someone who beat me in the real world before. I know his habits well. He’ll be unscrupulous in pursuit of his goals. He’s the one least suited to consider as a partner. Our chances of death would be practically 100% cooperating with him. So we need another choice to rely on. One of the strongest three in God's Realm, and it has to be one that we’ve tangled with before…”

Neos rose, gazing into the distance. He spoke slowly. “Team China! We'll go seek out team China, using team Celestial’s weakness as our qualification for an alliance!”

“Resident Evil Extinction. The final battle. Let’s go find team Celestial.”

***

“The final battle. It’s here at last…”

***

“Ah, my little apple. I’m coming…”

***

“Let’s go. We’ll first join the Angel Alliance.”

Over time, a total of twelve of God's defensive barriers appeared in America. Each barrier held team members ranging from several to over ten in number.

Team Devil, team China and team Celestial appeared in the West Coast, East Coast and near the southern border respectively. The rest of the teams were chaotically dispersed, at complete random.

“Yingkong, you fine?” Zheng had been asking Xuan regarding some of the rules for the final battle. When he saw Yingkong there trembling all over, he immediately asked.

Yingkong turned her head over and smiled slightly, but a light shake of her head. She didn’t utter a word, just sitting on the rock lovelily.

“...She smiled. But it was a slight one and she didn’t show that charming expression. Is it the main or secondary personality?” Cheng Xiao saw her smile as well, before speaking right into Zheng’s ears.

Zheng shook his head doubtfully. No one knew what Yingkong had been doing in those ten days in God’s dimension, apart from her sporadic appearances. She didn’t even go training in a movie world. In addition to that smile just now that was different from the past, Zheng immediately asked curiously, “Yingkong, are you really fine? Tell me earlier if there’s something wrong. The final battle is immediately after. I’m afraid you’ll…”

“Don’t fear.” Yingkong smiled gently. “I won’t drag the team down. Don’t worry. My battle along with the others is coming, which is why I was trembling. Someone must have called me a little apple… I can more or less guess it. Hehe, you should worry about your own battle.” Her face had that gentle expression as before, her eyes lacking that coldness the main personality possessed in her eyes.

(How strange. It’s neither the main nor secondary personality… Did the two merge?) Zheng thought inwardly. Then without waiting for him to open his mouth, sand began to blow in the surroundings.

The barrier around was completely gone.

Resident Evil Extinction, the final battle… henceforth began!
