Chapter 62: Manuela's Life Story
"Great, Leon, you're still alive!"
Seeing Leon, Manuela immediately stood up happily.
"Aren't you with Javier?"
Leon stepped forward and supported Manuela.
"After you were washed away by the flood, I jumped in too..."
"It's all your fault, father. You've encountered bad things..."
Manuela lowered her head in dismay.
"But, speaking of which, are you trying to attract the attention of monsters by singing in a place like this?"
Recalling the scene where Manuela sang just now, Klausa's tone became increasingly extreme.
"My mother would sing this song to me at night...when I was too scared to sleep..."
Manuela said weakly, stepping back slightly.
"You sang in church just now, didn't you?"
Leon asked softly.
Manuela nodded slightly.
I have to say, there is a reason why Manuela can become Leon's harem...
On the one hand, there is Leon's succubus aura, and on the other hand, she is really good at flirting.
Even if it's unintentional.
Yang Ren, who is of Chinese and Russian descent, isn’t bad either?
Sorry, he has Claire.
I would never betray Claire.
Everyone came to the corner where Manuela had been squatting.
In front of me was a heavy double door that was constantly leaking water.
Behind the door was the place where everyone had confronted Javier before being washed away by the floodgates.
Moreover, as the water seepage increased, the door also made a creaking sound.
"The door can no longer withstand the water pressure."
"We have to stop the water first. There must be a switch nearby."
Looking at the door that was constantly leaking water, Klausa deduced.
"Look! The switch is over there!"
Everyone looked in the direction Manuela pointed.
I saw several red valves behind the huge rotating gears.
There is a passage underneath that can be crawled through, but it is only big enough for Claire or Manuela.
Just as Claire was about to bend down and crawl over, Manuela had already taken the lead.
Soon, the valves were closed one by one by Manuela.
The double doors that had been banging from the water pressure gradually quieted down.
"Manuela has been found, bring him back immediately!"
"Otherwise it will be too late!"
The team was about to move on when Javier's voice came again from the loudspeaker overhead.
"It looks like we've been discovered."
Krauser said disdainfully.
On the way here, the iron door suddenly made a banging sound.
And as the intervals between the impacts became shorter and the force became stronger, the iron gate began to dent severely!
It looks like some powerful creature is about to break in!
The team immediately passed through the double doors and came to the place where they had confronted Javier before.
An Anubis was flying over the eaves and walls, constantly moving above everyone's heads, waiting for an opportunity to attack.
"Where did this stray dog come from? Get lost!"
Yang Ren raised his hand and fired a few shots, shooting the Anubis down from the air.
There was another banging sound from the double doors at the back, and everyone immediately went up the stairs to where Javier had been standing and talking to everyone.
Soon, the heavy double doors were also knocked open.
"Fuck me!"
After seeing the appearance of that "powerful" creature, Yang Ren exclaimed.
That monster was a replica of the mutated Steve in Antarctica!
The neck was also stretched out very long, but not as huge as that of the mutant Steve.
His hands turned into sickles, and there were several sickle-shaped limbs behind his back.
This is obviously the product of the Veronica virus!
However, this monster doesn't seem as outrageous as Steve.
He just watched everyone climb the stairs from below and did not follow them.
"Let's go, forget about it!"
Krauser wanted to shoot the monster directly, but was pushed away by Leon.
After turning a corner, the team arrived in front of an elevator.
A swarm of people rushed into the elevator and it reached the top.
The elevator door opened, and outside the door was a strange-looking monster.
It was rightly blasted with intense fire.
After rushing out of the elevator, there is a horizontal passage.
The other end of the passage also seemed to lead to the outside of the dam, and there were also several strange-looking monsters.
With the help of the refracted sunlight, everyone could see the appearance of the monster clearly.
The monster still maintained its human form, but its arms were shaped like plant branches and grew to its heels.
The head is also in the shape of a plant root, with a large amount of sticky juice dripping from the forked head.
There were several long tentacles twisting behind it.
The bullets hit their bodies, and even the blood that spurted out was green.
After killing these plant zombies, everyone followed the fire escape stairs to the top of the dam.
"Finally, I've escaped from the darkness and dampness down there!"
After a long absence from seeing the sunlight outside, everyone looked relaxed.
Above the dam are some normal buildings, warehouses, and a few trucks.
However, before everyone could rest, a sound of breaking air was heard under their feet.
The Veronica virus monster that was inside the dam before jumped up again.
At the same time, the doors of the buildings in front were also opened, and several "inferior mutant Steves" walked out.
However, this monster's defense is far less powerful than that of the original mutated Steve.
The soldiers' M249 and M4A1 were able to break its defense simply by firing continuously at it.
For a moment, several monsters were beaten without any ability to fight back and fell under the tyranny of the soldiers.
It's not even as strong as the "mutated water louse" we encountered in Hongshui Village before.
"Manuela, there are some things we must ask you..."
After being temporarily safe, Leon decided to ask Manuela about the Veronica virus.
"Why did Javier inject you with the Veronica virus?"
"What do you mean by 'delay'?"
Hearing this, Manuela lowered her head absentmindedly, and then untied the bandage on her hand again.
The arm that seemed to be covered by plant branches and leaves appeared in front of everyone again.
And this time, the soldiers also saw it.
The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment, and some even shouted:
"You're a fucking monster too!?"
"Do you know how many of our brothers died because of you?!"
A rifleman raised his gun in agitation and aimed at Manuela.
It seemed as if Manuela was about to be shot on the spot.
The squad leader immediately stepped forward and held down the rifleman's gun, while Leon and Elliot also stood in front of Manuela.
Seeing this, Manuela felt even more inferior and slowly said:
"When I was 15, my mother and I got the same disease..."
"This is a local disease that only the residents of this place will get..."
“The doctor said there is no cure…”
"As a result... the disease took my mother away..."
"But I..."
Having said this, Manuela slowly squatted down.
Leon stepped forward and patted Manuela's shoulder gently.
"It's okay, we will definitely cure you..."
