32 Chapter 32- The Licker (2/2)
But he didn't get disappointed as he knew there are more powerful Licker Zombies in this place. The Licker is a result of a further mutation in Zombies infected with some strain of T-virus, a process known V-act that injected into human brain tissue. Lickers are noted for their large, exposed brains, lack of skin and eyes, extreme sensitivity to sound and their eponymous tongue.
Jack remember the articles about the first Licker was a cluster developed within The Hive, one of the Umbrella Corporation's bio-weapons laboratories.
One Licker was released from confinement to hunt down Umbrella's Sanitation taskforce by the Red Queen to prevent an outbreak of the virus spreading outside the Laboratory.
The Licker killed Spence at the train platform, and after feeding on his body, mutated into a new form. The Advanced Licker then proceeded to follow Rain, Alice, Matt Addison, and Chad Kaplan. The creature threw Kaplan straight out of the train, likely killing him, and scratched Addison, infecting him with a mutant strain of T-virus. Matt and Alice killed the Licker as they escaped from the train.
In a second attempt to access The Hive, Umbrella inadvertently released the Zombies and a Lickers into Raccoon City. A number of these Lickers took shelter at Raven's Gate Church, where they were killed by Alice while hunting a group of survivors.
Jack planned to exterminate this Lickers and obtain a lot of Origin Energy, disturbing the future action of Umbrella made him also interested in what kind of change will happen in the plot.
At first, he doesn't want to change the plot as it may danger his life, but after gaining the Origin Energy. He changes his mind as he thought that the thing he did already change the plot, so holding back didn't profit him at all.
As he continued killing Zombies, a loud explosion appeared near Alice making her blown away. When Jack saw this, a grin appeared on his face as he knew that Alice because of this explosion will slowly regain her memories, making the t-virus inside of her strengthen her perception, body reaction, and strength.
So he's not worried that Alice will be hurt, Jack noticed that his emotion seems to be back to normal. Then Acedia voice resounded on his mind. ”Your Soul is now recovering I estimate that after the Universal Bead restored completely, your incomplete Soul will recover.”
”To begin with, your emotion didn't vanish you only sealed it within your soul on fear of being hurt.”
”Don't worry we are here to accompany you for eternity your existence is what made us alive. Sh*t I am going back to sleep!”
Jack felt warm and felt guilty that he regarded them as an evil entity trying to take control of his body.
After confirming that Alice didn't get hurt, Shade and others retreated towards the elevator as they sealed the entrance to keep the Zombies for getting in. Unknown to them, after the explosion a Licker came out of confinement as it disappeared from the darkness.
Jack naturally saw the Licker, but he didn't chase because he knew J.D was going to eaten by Zombies that was inside the elevator. So he planned to pull J.D when the Zombies was about to grab him.
But it looks like the plot already change as J.D didn't move from his position and only waited for Kaplan to hack the elevator.
Jack shook his head because he knew that the original plot, J.D is anxious so he pushed Kaplan to make the elevator work. But now that they killed off all of the Zombies, everyone felt relaxed as they waited for the elevator to work.
When the elevator work, Kaplan is about to enter when a zombies grab his hand to bite.
