"Jill, how are you here? You... didn't you leave Raccoon City?" Aiden was extremely shocked. He never imagined Jill would appear here.
Jill forcefully pulled the fore-end of the shotgun in her hand, chambering a new 12-gauge buckshot round, then lightly chuckled and said, "I came to find you."
Then she looked at Ada, who was following behind Aiden, and greeted her, "Miss Ada, very happy to see you again."
Ada responded with a "mm" sound and said in a calm tone, "Me too, Miss Valentine, I also... am very happy."
———
Because she was worried about Aiden's safety, not long after taking a helicopter out of Raccoon City, Jill regretted it. She felt she shouldn't have left Aiden alone in Raccoon City.
So, while Barry and Brad were settling the survivors, she stole a car and quietly returned to Raccoon City.
After returning to Raccoon City, she encountered a group of UBCS mercenaries who claimed to be defectors.
These mercenaries were being hunted down, and filled with a strong sense of justice, she chose to help them. And then... she also joined the road of escape.
During the escape, Jill heard these UBCS soldiers mention Aiden.
Especially after learning that Umbrella Corporation had actually ordered the capture of Aiden, she became even more worried.
So Jill asked them for some details, then bid them farewell, and through the sewer system, found and entered the underground research facility ahead of time.
Then, the scene just now happened.
———
"Jill, you shouldn't have come back."
After listening to Jill explain how and why she came here, Aiden was of course deeply moved, but at the same time a bit helpless. He thought, 'I finally managed to send you out in advance, so you wouldn't get into trouble, and now you've come back again. Aren't you just causing me more trouble?'
However, Aiden couldn't say much, after all, she came back out of concern for him. He let out a faint sigh in his heart, pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one, and started smoking.
This pack of cigarettes was found in the police chief's office. It was a classic Camel brand, and without a filter, very strong.
While smoking, Aiden began to digest the information in what Jill continued to say,
Umbrella's people were still looking for him, and it also explained why, in the early hours of the 29th, Umbrella's people could find him so quickly and accurately.
With Umbrella Corporation's current technology, controlling the city's surveillance network was simply a piece of cake.
"Have to say, Raccoon City's infrastructure is really good. Even at a time like this, the surveillance is still working." Aiden took a hard drag of his cigarette, thinking gloomily.
Moreover, he realized another problem.
Since Umbrella's people could use the surveillance system to locate him, that also meant, they were very likely to send people into the underground lab as well.
Thinking of this, Aiden raised his head and scanned the area, spotting a surveillance camera in the corner. However, at that moment, the camera suddenly turned, and just happened to point at them.
Aiden frowned, raised his gun, and shot it out. Then he spat out the cigarette butt from his mouth and said briefly, "Let's go."
———
In reality, the person controlling the surveillance camera was not from Umbrella, it was Claire.
At this moment, she was in the lab's surveillance room, staring blankly at the screen that had turned into static.
After a while, she was startled by an image on another screen. She mumbled something unclear, then ran toward the power room of the lab.
"Sherry, you must hold on!"
On the screen behind her, a Tyrant was chasing a blonde girl.
———
After leaving the room, Aiden and the others continued heading toward the core area of the research facility.
Although Jill reminded them that they could completely go back the way they came, surprisingly, all three of them opposed the idea.
Leon's reason was that they had to find Claire and Annette's daughter Sherry before leaving. Only Ada didn't give a reasonable explanation...
It didn't take long before they arrived near one of the facility's core areas, the power room.
Then, they saw a young girl in a red vest holding a blonde child, rushing out of the power room.
"Hi, Claire," Aiden called out happily to the college girl.
But Claire didn't respond enthusiastically. She quickly ran to Aiden, shoved Sherry into his arms, then snatched the M16 from Leon's hands beside them, and turned to aim at the power room.
But Claire didn't immediately shoot. Her facial expression looked strange, as if she had seen something unbelievable.
Aiden handed Sherry over to Jill, walked to Claire's side, and softly asked, "Claire, what did you see?"
Claire didn't speak, and in fact, she didn't need to, because at that moment, a Tyrant came flying out of the power room. Its massive body smashed a huge pit into the facility's sturdy floor.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. They looked at the Tyrant, covered in injuries, and were momentarily speechless.
Then, another figure appeared from inside the power room. A monster with a giant eyeball on its right arm slowly walked out.
Seeing this monster, Aiden's pupils shrank. It was William, the one who had injected himself with the G-virus.
At this point, an extra pair of auxiliary arms had already grown from William's abdomen. Clearly, it had entered the second form. No wonder the Tyrant had been beaten like that.
Once in the second form, William's combat ability had already surpassed that of a regular Tyrant.
"That monster... is it William?" Ada asked, forcibly suppressing her urge to shoot.
Aiden nodded. "It should be."
"Too terrifying," Jill said. "Even the Tyrant is no match for it."
She had witnessed the Tyrant's power at the mansion, but hadn't expected the Tyrant to be so weak in front of G-William.
She couldn't help but hold the blonde girl in her arms tighter and leaned toward Aiden's side. Perhaps only the man in front of her could give her enough sense of security.
While they were talking, the Tyrant climbed out of the pit. Aside from being covered in wounds, its military coat had also been torn to shreds.
"Roar!"
The Tyrant roared in fury, yanked off the coat that no longer served its purpose, and its body visibly transformed,
Its body grew larger, nearly swelling in size. Its hands sprouted sharp claws like daggers, glinting with a metallic sheen under the lab lights.
This was the first time Aiden and the others had seen a Tyrant evolve into a Super Tyrant. Once again, they were amazed.
While the Tyrant evolved, G2-form William didn't attack. Instead, he fixed his attention on Jill.
To be precise—on the girl she was holding.
"Sherry~ Come to Daddy~" G2 William hadn't completely lost his sanity. He let out a hoarse roar, calling the blonde girl's name. The eyeball on his right arm stared dead at the girl, cold and terrifying.
"No... Daddy..." Sherry curled up in fear, her face covered with tear streaks.
Claire heard Sherry's voice and quickly took her from Jill's arms.
"Claire..." Sherry tightly hugged Claire's waist.
"Don't be afraid. Claire will protect you." Although she said so, looking at the terrifying G2 William, a flash of worry still crossed Claire's eyes.
At this moment, the Tyrant had fully evolved into the Super Tyrant. Its injuries had completely healed after evolution. It stomped forward heavily, cracking the ground beneath.
"Roar!" It let out a provocative roar.
G2 William refocused on the Tyrant. His somewhat recognizable face revealed a cruel smile.
Then, he charged toward the Super Tyrant.
Provoked, the Super Tyrant also roared and rushed forward. The two pinnacle creations of the T and G viruses collided in less than a second.
Boom!
The two bodies, like iron, crashed together with a huge impact sound. The entire lab seemed to shake.
The result was quickly clear. After all, it was a Super Tyrant. G2-form William clearly couldn't match its strength. He was sent flying over ten meters, skidding along the ground and carving two deep gashes in it.
Before he could get up, the Super Tyrant had already leapt into the air. Its raised claws gleamed under the lights.
It was aiming to finish G2 William with a single blow.
Squelch!
The Super Tyrant's claws were incomparably sharp, almost effortlessly piercing G2 William's abdomen. With a forceful swing, it slashed four deep wounds into his chest. A large amount of blood sprayed from the injuries.
Then its claws curved slightly, pulling out from G2 William's chest, bringing with them a huge chunk of flesh and a pile of shredded organs.
Seeing this, the onlookers' faces all turned grim. The scene was just too disturbing.
Sherry screamed, covering her eyes, not daring to look. Although William no longer looked human, he was still her father.
"Sherry... don't be afraid." Claire patted her back, softly comforting her.
Then she looked over and asked, "Do we still have to keep watching? It seems like they're about to decide the winner."
'It's not that easy. William still has a G3 form.' Aiden thought to himself.
