chapter 208 part 1
Chapter 208: The Reincarnation Squad Raids!
The five-person team's haul from the police station armory could only be described as bountiful. Box after box of brand-new firearms and ammunition were stacked neatly. Any sufferer of ammo-shortage anxiety would be cured on the spot by the sight of so many bullets.
Zheng He skillfully operated his storage ring. With a flash of light, these precious supplies were swiftly stored away, adding a bold and vibrant stroke to the hopes for humanity's survival.
Just as the group was preparing to leave in search of the next supply point, a surveillance camera with a glaring red light suddenly entered Ren Arakawa's field of vision.
"The Red Queen has detected us."
Ada Wong followed his gaze. "The Red Queen has infiltrated the global surveillance system. She has definitely dispatched zombies to our location."
Her voice was still echoing in the air when a series of sharp car alarms began to blare from the street outside the police station, one after another.
The sounds were urgent and chaotic, clearly indicating that something massive was rampaging through the area.
Ren Arakawa quickly laid out a plan. "Zhang Jie, you go all out to protect Ada Wong and ensure her safety. Zheng He, you stay close to Leon and make sure absolutely nothing happens to him. I'll go out and scout the situation."
Zhang Jie nodded grimly. "You have to be careful. We'll provide backup immediately if anything happens."
With his current strength, Ren Arakawa wasn't the least bit worried about the original threats in the world of Resident Evil. He gave a faint smile and walked steadily out of the police station.
The moment he stepped outside, without even needing to activate his Observation Haki, he spotted the massive figure charging recklessly at the end of the road.
"So it's this guy..."
In the distance was a colossal figure with an eerie, dark-green skin and bulging muscles. Dressed in a leather coat and wearing a small hat, this humanoid creature was none other than the infamous ultimate biological weapon from Resident Evil 2—the Tyrant T-103.
This thing was an extremely annoying presence in the memory of almost every Resident Evil player. Its durability was off the charts, capable of taking a direct hit from a truck with little to no damage, and it possessed extremely powerful regenerative abilities.
Once its leather coat, which suppressed the t-virus, was destroyed, it would undergo an even more terrifying mutation, evolving into the Super Tyrant.
Coupled with the grim and terrifying atmosphere of the police station in Resident Evil 2, many players had to install a mod that changed the fearsome Tyrant into Thomas the Tank Engine just to be able to get through that part of the game.
The apocalyptic streets seemed to be shrouded in a gray, gloomy filter—deathly silent and heavy. The stench of decay permeated the air.
Ren Arakawa stood with his hands in his pockets, his head tilted, his gaze fixed on the behemoth not far away.
Around the Tyrant, vehicles were scattered about, having been sent flying like toys tossed aside after being played with.
"First, let's test this Tyrant's stats."
To ensure the team's rear wouldn't be cut down like vegetables by unexpected native creatures once the Team Battle began, Ren Arakawa flexed his wrists, squatted down slightly, and tensed his muscles, instantly gathering all his strength into his right fist.
In that instant, he threw a ferocious punch. The force of the blow whistled through the air like a meteor streaking across the night sky, letting out a sharp sonic boom!
If this punch had landed on an ordinary zombie, its head would have surely splattered like an overripe, exploding watermelon, shattering in an instant.
However, the Tyrant T-103 merely swayed slightly. Its chest, as hard as steel, was like an unbreakable super-shield, effortlessly absorbing Ren Arakawa's attack.
Of course, it was only able to withstand the blow because Ren Arakawa hadn't activated any of his special states. He needed to simulate whether his team members could handle this creature at their current level.
Having been punched, the Tyrant's red, vertical pupils instantly ignited with a raging fury. It was the madness and brutality of a provoked beast.
It let out a deafening roar and swung its thick arms. Accompanied by the howling wind and an aura of absolute destruction, it viciously smashed down toward Ren Arakawa.
Faced with this torrential assault, not only was there no trace of fear in Ren Arakawa's eyes, but they instead sparkled with excitement.
He planted his feet firmly on the ground, his muscles tightening to their absolute limit as he yelled, "Iron Body!"
"Boom!" The Tyrant's fist slammed heavily into Ren Arakawa's body. The impact was like being hit by a speeding car, forcing his body back two steps and leaving two deep footprints in the ground. The soles of his shoes screeched sharply against the pavement.
Just then, Zhang Jie, Zheng He, Ada Wong, and Leon rushed out of the police station, just in time to witness this shocking scene.
"This... How is this possible?" Leon's voice trembled violently, filled with shock and terror. He couldn't comprehend how someone could take a direct hit from the Tyrant and remain unharmed. He had put in a great deal of effort dealing with the Tyrant before and knew better than anyone what a terrifying existence it was.
To be able to go toe-to-toe with a Tyrant in a brawl was a bit too monstrous.
Ada Wong's mouth hung wide open as she muttered to herself, "That's too absurd..."
Ren Arakawa ignored his teammates' reactions. He took a deep breath, and the power within his body began to surge once more.
He focused his mind and activated the first stage of his Gene Lock!
Ren Arakawa stomped his foot violently on the ground and charged at the Tyrant with unstoppable momentum. Before the Tyrant could react, his fist had already slammed heavily into its face.
"Bang!"
This punch contained terrifying power. The Tyrant's massive body was knocked back a step, and a gruesome wound appeared on its face. Its skin began to crack, and gray-black fragments flaked off, revealing the twisted muscle and tissue underneath, which pulsed with an eerie light. The sight alone was enough to make one's skin crawl.
"A Second-Tier Gene Lock should be about enough... The veterans of the team shouldn't have a problem if they work together."
While Ren Arakawa was still calculating the Tyrant's strength, the creature itself had been thoroughly enraged by the punch. It fell into a crazed state, flailing its fists with complete disregard for everything else as it once again smashed toward Ren Arakawa.
By now, Ren Arakawa had a complete grasp of the Tyrant's capabilities. With a nimble movement, he easily dodged its attack.
The Tyrant's fist, carrying immense force, slammed heavily into the wall behind Ren Arakawa.
"BOOM!" With a massive bang, the wall's surface was instantly covered in a dense web of cracks. In the next moment, the entire wall collapsed.
