Whether Zhou Yi heard Natasha's prayers, no one knew, but he arrived in front of Natasha right on time.
A long Silver Spear descended from the sky with a tremendous roar, the resulting gale and shockwave even flipped over the surrounding cars. The force of the sound caused the surrounding glass to shatter. Like a streak of silver lightning, the spear had already pierced through the monster's body.
The kinetic energy instantly ripped apart its chest; Adamantium was naturally not something a monster's body could withstand. Although the monster struggled desperately in pain, it was still dragged along the road by the spear, carving out a long furrow before being firmly pinned to the ground.
By this point, the monster's upper body was almost nonexistent. The energy radiating from the spear had torn a huge wound through the middle of its body. If it weren't for its tenacious life force, this single blow would have been enough to finish it off.
Even now, the monster was in an extremely miserable state, with only its lower body still standing, connected to some skin and flesh, along with its head and other parts. Although it was clear to see that everything was rapidly healing, it would still take some time just to heal all of that.
"How did you provoke something like this? I thought a woman as smart as you would know which things you can afford to mess with and which you can't."
Zhou Yi's figure appeared beside Natasha. He looked at Natasha, whose body was still trembling slightly, and a gloating smile appeared on his face.
His appearance seemed to give Natasha immense courage. Her body immediately stopped trembling, and she softly knelt on the ground. It was the instinct to survive that had given her the strength to act just now, so when her savior appeared, she instead became like a limp shrimp, as if her spine had been removed.
Although her body was completely drained of strength, Natasha wasn't about to back down verbally.
"Of course I know I can't afford to mess with that thing, but does it matter if I think I can't? That guy's been chasing me all the way here, ignoring everything else. What choice do I have?"
"You should be happy. It shows you're charming enough to tempt even that thing."
"Thanks for the compliment, but I'll pass on that kind of attention." Natasha waved her hand, pointing to the girl in her arms. "She's its target. If it wasn't for protecting this little one, I wouldn't be in this mess."
Zhou Yi sized up the little girl. Short, blonde hair and a school uniform. While she looked cute, she didn't seem like the type to attract monsters, especially one of the top-tier bio-monsters in Raccoon City.
So he looked back at Natasha. Only this woman, who had stolen Umbrella's files, would understand the situation.
"This is Sherry Birkin. The monster is William Birkin, her father." After introducing their identities, Natasha began to explain in detail.
"Dr. William Birkin was the developer of the G-Virus. Umbrella had been after this new virus for a long time. Yesterday, they attacked the lab, trying to seize Dr. William's research. As you can see, William turned into this, and Umbrella didn't get what they wanted."
"I have no way to get the G-Virus from Dr. William in this state, so I wanted to see if I could get something from his family. Dr. William's wife was also his research assistant, so maybe there would be some data stored with her."
"But I was too late. She had already died at the hands of a bunch of monsters. I only found this child. For some reason, another spy was also looking for her, and that monster was relentlessly pursuing her too."
"So you think this child has some secrets, that's why they're protecting her at all costs. Isn't that a bit reckless?" Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow. Nearly losing a life for a guess wasn't something a special agent would do.
Natasha heard his meaning and retorted cunningly.
"With you backing me up, what am I afraid of? I can just call you in at the critical moment!"
Zhou Yi smiled, looking at the monster that had almost recovered.
This monster, transformed from William Birkin, had recovered its original appearance due to its super regenerative ability, and it had even gone further, becoming an even more terrifying appearance.
Originally, it was a giant hand with a small hand, looking deformed and bizarre, especially the huge eye on its right shoulder, which was terrifying and disgusting. But now, its appearance had changed drastically.
The right arm's eyeball shrunk slightly, and the left arm transformed into a giant claw. Unlike the other hand, this one didn't have an eye growing on it because the eye had grown on the thigh.
As the two large hands became symmetrical, a pair of new arms emerged from the chest and abdomen. They replaced the original arms, pushing the two giant hands to the back, making them look like deformed wings.
At the same time, many strange objects protruded from the monster's right chest, transforming into thorn-like decorations, like a breastplate. Layers of muscles also spread and grew, like intertwined vines, covering the monster's entire body. These muscles made him no longer bloated, but instead, looked stronger and more terrifying.
"It looks a lot like someone I've seen before, but this one has a stronger sense of self. Is it the virus, or the species?" Seeing the monster, Zhou Yi thought of a vampire who had also turned into a monster. There seemed to be a certain connection between them.
Monster William didn't care what Zhou Yi was thinking. He grabbed the Silver Spear from his waist with his new hands, roared, and pulled it out. Foul liquid gushed out like a fountain, and in this fountain, William's four hands gripped the Silver Spear, throwing it back with force.
Although the Silver Spear whistled like thunder, its power was nowhere near the earth-shattering blow from before. Natasha watched coldly, a sneer on her lips.
A mere monster wanted to compete with the most powerful hero. Even if this hero only revealed a small part of their power, a freak like this couldn't provoke them.
The Silver Spear drew a white line in the air, piercing towards Zhou Yi, who stood motionless. The moment the spear left his hands, William pushed with his two giant hands on his back and leaped into the air, pouncing down. William's vengeful beastly nature made him target Zhou Yi as the primary focus of his attack, so he chose Zhou Yi as his target for the pounce.
The Silver Spear flew towards him in a blink, and Zhou Yi tilted his body slightly to avoid the sharp point. Then, with a single hand, he grabbed it as if he had seized a giant python's vitals, and the Silver Spear immediately became obedient in his grasp.
At this moment, the monster William had already pounced down from the sky. The giant claws on its back were like iron shovels, ready to dig down. If they connected, any mortal flesh would surely be split in two.
Zhou Yi wasn't afraid of this level of damage, but he also didn't want to be touched by such filthy things. He twisted his waist, and with a backhand, he thrust the spear towards the monster William in mid-air.
The spearhead first entered between the two giant claws. Zhou Yi shook the spear, and with a sweep, he fiercely knocked the two giant claws apart to both sides. Then, with a flick of the spearhead, the sharp blade directly sliced open half of the monster William's face.
The monster William screamed, and the newly grown hands desperately grabbed Zhou Yi's spear, trying to take back the weapon that had hurt it. But Zhou Yi shook the spear repeatedly. The thick spear sounds rose and fell like a restless venomous dragon. The silver scales carved on the spear were sharper than steel knives at this moment. The monster's hands, upon contact, immediately turned into a flurry of blood rain mixed with scattered flesh that drifted down.
The monster William howled, but its wild nature still drove it to desperately try and grasp the spear. If the two new hands failed, it would use the giant hands that had recovered. But before its giant hands could reach, the spear, which had risen to a certain height, was already slashing down from the air.
The silver spear brushed out a hazy blur of light and fiercely struck the monster William's body. This strike was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, and a layer of blood mist mixed with air waves spread into the air. Then came the continuous sounds of sparse bone and flesh rotting.
The monster William's huge body was like a tattered sack, struck down to the ground. The hard asphalt concrete exploded with layers of cracks because of this sack. After this strike, it basically lost the ability to move.
Zhou Yi's casual strike, though seemingly effortless, packed a force of tens of thousands of kilograms. A monster that relied on viral mutations could hardly withstand such a blow. Its entire skeletal structure and muscles were utterly destroyed; surviving was a testament to its tenacity.
Watching William, the monster, now a mass of pulped flesh clinging to the ground with only its chest still heaving, Natasha approached. She glanced at it with distaste and asked, "Is that it? Indeed, an incomplete creation, no matter how powerful, is still flawed."
"Such things will never be complete," Zhou Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a spark ignited at his feet. In an instant, William's entire body was engulfed in flames. The crackling of burning flesh and the monster's weak moans filled the air, causing the girl in Natasha's arms to close her eyes, tears streaming down her face.
Natasha silently stroked her hair as she watched William being reduced to ashes by the flames. Only when the fire died down did she speak, "Another tragedy. This poor child will have no one to rely on."
"Now is not the time for this. Where is the T-Virus data?" Ignoring the irrelevant issue, Zhou Yi asked the most critical question. This was the real priority.
