"But then again, Big Brother, what are you going to do with this thing? Didn't Umbrella spread the virus to the whole world? "
"I'm just going to study it."
Looking at the suitcase in Little Black's hand, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders.
"Although Umbrella's method isn't very good, I have to admit that their way of thinking is quite unique."
That's right. This was also the reason why Fangzheng asked Little Black to steal the 'catalyst'. Before coming to this world, Fangzheng had always subconsciously believed that the Resident Evil was caused by the virus due to the influence of the movies and games he had watched in the past. Even when he examined the bodies of Li Mi, Hu Tao, and the others and discovered the mutation, Fangzheng also thought that it was caused by the virus infection.
But after hearing the 'truth' that Wisteria told Xia Shi and the others through the gadget, Fangzheng suddenly realized that his train of thought had gone astray.
Thinking about it carefully, why did he think that these mutated virus cells were not originally there, but were instead external? In fact, out of the 20000 genes in the human genome, only 2000 of them had been studied. At most, it was only one-tenth of them. This meant that humans were only slightly better at not knowing anything about their own bodies.
In this case, why did he think that this Resident Evil was not the result of the mutation of the human genes?
Thinking about it, Umbrella could 'activate' the unknown genes of humans through the 'catalyst' method. Although the failure rate was high, once it succeeded, looking at Li Mi and the zombie idols, they almost had no weaknesses to speak of. Their lives were transformed from 'individuals' to 'aggregated groups'. They didn't have a 'fatal weakness'. Their hearts, heads, and these places would not cause them to die even if they were damaged.
Just like a school of fish in the sea, if you killed a part of it, it wouldn't affect them. Unless the whole school of fish was wiped out in one fell swoop, they would sooner or later come back.
And the reason why Fangzheng collected these catalysts was because he wanted to go back and look for the Zerg to see the principle and function of these things. Maybe he could come up with something good.
Next up …
"You go back first. I still want to leave some mementos for this world."
"Mementos?"
Hearing Fangzheng's words, Xiao Hei stared blankly for a moment before nodding her head.
"Okay, big brother. See you later."
Having said that, Xiao Hei waved at Fangzheng. She then turned around and walked into the Gate of Traversal.
Seeing that everyone had left, Fangzheng heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his right hand and with a flash of white light, a pitch-black greatsword appeared in Fangzheng's hand.
Then, Fangzheng stared at the ground beneath his feet. He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly and stabbed it into the ground!!
The pitch-black blade easily pierced into the ground beneath Fangzheng's feet. Soon, a pillar of fire shot up into the sky, straight into the clouds. The ground began to tremble violently as fissures spread out in all directions with Fangzheng as the epicenter. The seawater began to tremble, and the horizon … was illuminated by a fiery red.
"What exactly happened here?"
Looking at the messy base and wreckage, Wesker's expression turned ashen. He was ordered by the Umbrella to come to this remote place in order to search for the legendary perfect experimental subject. But when he arrived here, he found that everything around him had changed completely. The entire base was completely destroyed. Wreckage of tanks and aircraft were everywhere. The cloned soldiers were charred as though they had just gone through a war.
But war? What a joke. Who had the ability to start a war with the Umbrella at this point in time?
"Rumble …!"
At this moment, the ground began to tremble and Wesker knitted his brows upon realizing this.
"What's going on?"
"It's probably an earthquake, Mr. Wesker."
The soldier beside him seemed to be very calm.
"It's not strange for Japan to have earthquakes all year round."
"Hmm …"
Wesker pondered for a moment. He felt that something wasn't right with this earthquake, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong. He immediately withdrew his thoughts and swiftly issued an order.
"Mobilize the satellites immediately. I want to know what exactly happened here. Also, contact the headquarters!"
"Yes!"
Hearing Wesker's order, the soldiers beside him immediately took out their communicators and computers. But just as they were about to make contact, the screen in front of them suddenly flickered, followed by an ear-piercing noise.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't know, Sir. The communication device suddenly stopped … We can't contact the satellites either …"
"Guys, look! What's that?!"
At this moment, another soldier suddenly pointed to the sky and yelled. Wesker turned to the direction of his finger and his expression changed abruptly!
From the end of the skyline, bright red clouds were rolling towards them. They looked like raging flames burning in the sky, but also like lava flowing down from a volcanic eruption, gushing towards them.
"What exactly is that?"
This scene stunned everyone, including the soldiers under the umbrella and Wesker. Perhaps they were used to seeing mutated zombies and monsters, but in the face of the mighty power of nature, they were still so insignificant and vulnerable.
The scarlet clouds moved faster than they seemed. Before anyone could react, they had already shrouded the entire sky. In an instant, the surroundings were shrouded in a dusky red as though the entire world was burning. The air began to dry and scorch.
"W-What exactly is that …"
"Calm down!"
Wesker hurriedly shouted at the flustered soldiers beside him. Then, he lifted his head and looked at the clouds above.
"No matter what that is, we have to leave this place immediately and board the plane! Let's fly above the clouds! "
Right at that moment, a voice resounded in the sky.
"Tremble, the knell of death has rung for you! Tremble, the dirge has sung for you! The end of the world has arrived, and all the living will pay the price! "
"W-What's that voice? Who's speaking?"
All the soldiers stared blankly at the voice. They exchanged glances and couldn't figure out what was going on. But that wasn't important anymore.
Specks of red light drifted down from the clouds. At first, no one noticed it. When the soldiers accidentally touched the red specks and screamed in pain, they realized that the specks that looked like snowflakes falling from the sky were actually flickering sparks!
"Quick, let's get out of here! Everyone board the helicopter now! "
At this moment, the violent winds mixed with sparks roared. The surrounding trees and other flammable objects were set ablaze, and the air began to heat up. Wesker hurriedly stepped into the helicopter and sat on the pilot's seat. Then, he pulled the joystick and hoisted the helicopter into the air.
The instant the helicopter lifted off the ground, the flat ground cracked open abruptly. At the next moment, scorching flames and airflow gushed out from the cracks. In an instant, the entire helicopter was struck by the high-temperature airflow. It lost its balance and swayed in the air!
"Damn it! What exactly is going on!"
Wesker spent a tremendous amount of effort before finally stabilizing the plane. At this moment, the other people in the plane were already dizzy and disoriented.
Fly to the clouds now!
At this moment, Wesker couldn't care less about what was going on. He had made up his mind to fly to the clouds and avoid this disaster. Then … he would think about it later!
But at this moment, that voice sounded again.
"The sky is dark and the flames are still raging. Your resistance is meaningless because the wheel of fate has begun to spin!"
Boom!!!
Through the window, Wesker witnessed the ground exploding. Boundless flames erupted and enveloped the entire ground. Not only that, but the seawater in the distance also started to boil. Thick steam rose from the window and shortly after, Wesker's visibility dropped to the level of Silent Hill.
"Damn it …!"
At this moment, Wesker had no other choice. He held onto the joystick and relied on his memory to continue flying upward. At the same time, he looked at the altitude indicator. As long as he passed through the clouds, he would be able to …
At this moment, a blazing cloud of flames appeared before Wesker's eyes …
No, strictly speaking, it was a burning cloud of flames.
"No — — —!"
Looking at the approaching flames, Wesker raised his hands in front of his body in despair. However, it was useless. The helicopter that lost its pilot flew into the cloud of flames. In the next moment, the surging flames shattered the helicopter's windows and rushed into the cabin, enveloping everything in raging flames.
The entire planet began to explode.
The blue planet was surrounded by flames and exploded. The burning flames were like fireworks that scattered in all directions. They formed a straight line that flew into the depths of the universe. Everything in its path was engulfed in flames. The sun, the moon, and the planets. There were no exceptions.
In the blink of an eye, the entire world … was burned to ashes.
"Sigh …"
Looking at the red flames that represented power in the Fire Transmission Sacrificial Ground, Fangzheng sighed softly. He could see countless firewood rapidly gathering in the direction of the red flames. Soon, they formed a mini Milky Way galaxy above the red flames. It was also red in color and seemed to be composed of tiny sparks of fire.
Not only that, but Fangzheng also felt that his body was changing. His cells were as though being remolded and rebuilt under the baptism of the flames. Endless power filled Fangzheng's body and transformed his soul.
At the same time, Fangzheng's system notification popped up before his eyes.
[Source of Power + 1]
[Unignited Sacred Flame]
Did I succeed? Or did I fail?
Looking at the system notification, Fangzheng knitted his brows and opened his eyes.
"The flames will devour everything. You're all exhausted and hopeless. I will uphold justice!"
With that said, Fangzheng pulled out the pitch-black broadsword from the ground and strode into the Door of Transmigration.
