Chapter 23 Codename: Veronica

Chapter 23 Codename: Veronica

"Hey, Yang! Wake up!"

Yang Ren woke up in a dark cell, and it felt like something was around his neck.

Claire was in the cell next door, tapping on the iron bars to perform a magical awakening on him.

However, there were no guards in the cell.

Debris and dust kept falling from the ceiling, the lights kept flickering, and outside there was deafening sound of gunfire.

There was a surge of movement at the cuffs, and several tentacles stretched out, crushing the electronic collar on his neck.

Then, the tentacles grabbed the iron fence of the cell, and with a slight force, they bent out a passage large enough for one person to pass through.

After three months of practice, Yang Ren's proficiency in using NE-γ tentacles has improved a lot.

Although it is weaker than Zhui Zhui's NE-a tentacles, it is not a big deal.

After all, Zhui Zhui was modified from a T-103 Tyrant, and his foundation in all aspects is much stronger than that of normal humans.

Through the dim light, Yang Ren saw Claire in the cell next door.

It was still the same familiar outfit: Amber's high ponytail, a red leather jacket, a black tank top underneath, tight jeans, and cowboy boots.

However, the two men's guns, holsters, belts and other personal belongings have been confiscated.

Only three months had passed, but Claire's face was still as delicate and youthful as ever.

The zipper of the leather jacket was opened down to the chest, revealing her fair chest and the amber feather necklace.

How could this be a good deal for that young boy Steve?

crunch--

Just as he was about to release Claire, the door of the cell was suddenly pushed open.

Yang Ren's figure immediately hid in the darkness of the blind spot, and his black windbreaker blended into the environment.

A black man in a white short-sleeved T-shirt came in.

He looked very fit, but there was a spot in his abdomen that was bleeding.

Yang Ren recognized this man.

It was the security captain who captured them alive when he and Claire sneaked into the Paris Institute together.

The man looked at Claire in the cell and walked over to release her.

I glanced at it casually and found that the fence of the cell next door had bent.

Hmm? There's another person?

"If you don't want to die, don't move."

Before he could think about it, the holster on his waist felt lighter, and then a cold object pressed against the back of his head.

He turned his head slightly and saw Yang Ren, who was wearing a black windbreaker and pointing a gun at him.

Then, with a shocked expression on his face, Yang Ren bent the fence of Claire's cell with his bare hands.

Perhaps because he felt that he didn't have long to live, the man felt relieved.

He just found a stool and sat down right under the gun.

"You guys go... This island is finished..."

"I don't know where the special forces came from, but they killed all the people in the prison..."

Yang Ren didn't waste any words and threw him a bottle of almost used hemostatic agent that he had just taken out from the cabinet next to him.

After crushing the electronic collar on Claire's neck, he gave the gun to Claire.

He took the dagger from the table, and they left the cell together.

After passing through a corridor, the two men came to the outside of the cell.

Yang Ren reached out and lovingly zipped up Claire's leather jacket from the chest down.

"Don't let others get away with it~"

Claire let out a clear, bell-like laugh, her eyes slightly curved:

"You are the happiest one~"

With Yang Ren as a fighting force to back them up, there was basically nothing on the island that could hurt the two of them, so the atmosphere was very relaxed.

The sound of gunfire outside had become much quieter, and there was still a drizzle in the sky.

When passing a cemetery, the wreckage of a helicopter behind the two suddenly exploded.

The two looked back and saw that the helicopter pilot's body had come back to life.

Its body was still covered in flames, and it limped towards the two men with its hands outstretched.

"Zombies?"

Claire was visibly stunned.

The tragic scene in Raccoon City three months ago was still vivid in her mind. Sometimes she even dreamed of that hellish scene at night.

I never thought I could see such a horrible creature here!

The soil in the cemetery behind him was churning, and several highly decayed, naked zombies crawled out.

The one closest to him reached out and grabbed Claire's ankle.

"what!"

Claire screamed and kicked the zombie on the head.

The already severely rotten forehead was kicked by the cowboy boots, becoming even more unrecognizable.

The remaining zombies surrounded the two men, roaring continuously and approaching in a dark and twisted manner.

10 seconds later…

All of these zombies were lying on the ground in twisted and distorted postures, looking deader than dead.

Yang Ren wiped the blood off the dagger, clapped his hands, and looked relaxed.

Continuing forward, the two passed through an iron gate and came to the bottom of a watchtower.

Before the two of them could think about their next route, the searchlight on the watchtower suddenly shone down.

Just as Claire reacted, Yang Ren grabbed her and hid behind a shelter.

Da da da da da—!

The roar of the machine gun sounded like thunder, and the place where Claire was standing was immediately covered by a series of bullets.

Even though the two men had already hidden behind cover, the machine gun was still firing to suppress them.

It seems that the other party doesn't care about the number of bullets at all.

Due to such poor ammunition management, the machine gun bullets were quickly used up and the gunfire stopped abruptly.

Claire dodged out of cover and blew up the searchlight with just one shot.

Then two more shots were fired, hitting near the machine gun.

"Hey! Wait! Don't shoot!"

A very immature male voice immediately came from the watchtower.

"Who are you!"

Claire asked loudly while being on guard.

"Sorry! I thought you were monsters! Wait, I'll be right there!"

In a moment, a young man trotted down from the watchtower.

Long hair with messy bangs, a short-sleeved denim jacket and a sweatshirt underneath.

He was wearing a pair of jungle camouflage overalls and an electronic collar around his neck. He looked no more than 16,17 or years old.

A little bit handsome?

"I'm so sorry, I was mistaken, I thought it was another monster..."

The other party said as he approached.

Seeing that Claire was still pointing the gun at him, he actually reached out to move the gun away.

"If you dare to mess around, I'll shoot!"

"Who the hell are you?"

As Claire stepped back with the gun pointed at the other person's head, Yang Ren appeared in front of Claire.

He turned his body at a 45-degree angle to the young man, with his left hand behind his back and his right hand pushing away the young man's outstretched hand, his tone extremely stern.

"Relax, miss~ Don't be so angry, okay?"

"Didn't I just apologize...By the way, my name is Steve."

Seeing that both of them looked alert, Steve even dared to tease Claire.

Yang Ren's face twitched unconsciously.

Damn it, he was just shooting Claire with a machine gun, and now he’s pretending it’s over in just a few seconds?

And you dare to ignore me? Aren't you looking down on me a little too much?

"I was brought to this island by force."

"Let me guess, you guys aren't from Umbrella either?"

Steve walked to a nearby door with his back turned mysteriously, then turned back to ask the two of them.

“We are indeed not the umbrella people.”

"My name is Claire...Claire Redfield, and I'm here to look for my brother."

Claire put down the gun that was pointed at Steve and introduced herself in a simple manner.

"Claire...what a nice name. I'll remember it."

"So, who is this man in sunglasses?"

Seeing that the other man wearing sunglasses and a black windbreaker didn't say anything, Steve took the initiative to ask.

There was a hint of provocation in the young voice.

Hearing this, Yang Ren raised his head slightly.

"I come from the Holy Roman Empire 500 years in the future."

"It is a cyborg created by the super artificial intelligence [Skynet], who traveled through time and space to come here to protect the sacred Queen Claire."

"You can call me... [Terminator]."

The dagger with a silver glow was gently thrown up, spun twice in the air, and then fell down and was caught steadily.

The next second, Yang Ren appeared in front of Steve and pushed him against the wall with the dagger firmly on his throat.

"Boy, if you dare to say something rude again, I promise to stab you in the ass with this dagger."

As he spoke, there seemed to be a faint blue light flashing under Yang Ren's dark sunglasses.

"No, no, no! Brother! I was wrong!"

Steve could tell that Yang Ren was joking, but he was still shocked.

Seeing Steve's attitude change 180 degrees, Yang Ren's mouth was almost as grinning as a dragon king.

It turns out that children are easy to bully. They will be much more obedient after a little scare.

The dagger was moved away and Yang Ren returned to Claire's side again.

Steve touched his neck subconsciously.

At that time, the dagger was only 0.001 centimeters away from his throat...

"Huh~ Let's get back to the point. There seems to be an airport on this island. If we can find it, we can leave here."

"Well...see you later!"

Steve said this unhappily, then turned around and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Claire quickly called Steve and wanted to ask something.

But Steve not only didn't look back, he even stretched out a finger and shook it in a very cocky way.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no, don't follow me, you two will drag me down."

Yang Ren's face twitched every day.

An ordinary male college student who is cold, powerful, and can teleport and fight.

An ordinary female college student who is cute, kind, and proficient in all kinds of weapons.

How do we look like we would be a burden to you?

As expected, this kid is a tsundere who deserves a beating. He will get annoyed if he is not dealt with in half a minute.

Below the watchtower is the prison gate, but the lock seems to require a badge to open.

Steve went into the barracks alone, the main building of the prison, to look for the key.

Yang Ren looked at the gate in front of him, which was only about 3 meters high, and shook his head.

What era is this? Are you still looking for the key to get through the front door?

"Come on~"

After extending a cordial invitation to Claire, he squatted down slightly, picked her up like a princess, and flew over with a big jump.

It really just flew over there.

The two men came to the outside of the prison, crossed a bridge that had been destroyed by war, and came to a small palace in European medieval style.

Or rather... a Western-style house.

Behind the big iron gate, two zombie dogs ran over to "greet" the two people, and were shot in the head by Claire.

After entering the mansion, there is a locked electronic door on the left and an embedded computer at the front desk.
