Chapter 66: Krauser is injured
"Manuela! Don't come out!"
After greeting Manuela, Leon immediately ran out of the operating room.
Claire stayed to look after Manuela, and the others followed Leon to the warehouse.
The monster jumped down from the top of the warehouse and landed in front of everyone.
The scarlet eyes kept looking at the soldiers in front of him.
Then, long tentacles swung over.
Everyone immediately hid in the nearest cover and kept shooting at the monster's head.
After experiencing so many BOW baptisms, they have acquired basic knowledge on how to deal with these biological weapons.
Just hit the head!
However, the team lacked heavy firepower and had no weapons that could cause effective damage to the monster.
Whether it is M4A1 or M249.
The 5.56x45mm bullets hit the monster's smooth and sharply angled carapace and bounced off without exception.
Leon and Elliot climbed onto the grating platform above the warehouse through the boxes stacked on the side.
After firing a few shots at the monster, he successfully attracted its attention.
The monster's strong, curved legs gave a slight squat and it also jumped onto the grille platform.
He shot several bone spikes at the two men, but they were easily dodged.
Helpless, the two could only jump down again.
Seeing this, the grenadier immediately loaded a multi-purpose high-explosive bomb.
The soldiers below kept pouring bullets at the monster from bottom to top.
The impact of the bullet quickly knocked the monster down from its high place.
After the monster struggled to stand up, it still wanted to attack everyone.
"Manuela! Don't go!"
Claire's cry was suddenly heard in the operating room.
Then Manuela ran out alone.
In front of everyone and the monster, Manuela clasped her hands together and sang the lullaby:
"Sleep my love~"
“As the trees above~”
……
Hearing this melodious lullaby, the manic monster suddenly calmed down and turned to look at Manuela.
The scarlet eyes suddenly turned into a soft blue.
"Manuela, stop singing!"
Javier's voice suddenly came over the radio.
"It's now!"
"Grenade!"
Darren shouted, and as the grenadier warned him, he immediately pulled the trigger.
A multi-purpose high-explosive grenade hit the monster's shell, directly shattering the silver shell.
The scarlet, brain-like tissue beneath the shell was exposed.
The monster's huge body fell down with a loud bang, and it looked dead.
Manuela soon couldn't hold on any longer and knelt on the ground.
"Manuela, are you okay..."
Claire stepped forward to help Manuela up, and Yang Ren also ran over.
"I don't know what's going on..."
"Every time I sing this song it doesn't attack me..."
Manuela said weakly.
"Javier is about to run away, chase him!"
Lyon suddenly realized something and immediately reminded the soldiers, who immediately ran towards the elevator entrance.
When he was about to reach the elevator, the monster on the ground suddenly moved again.
It raised its scarlet eyes and stared at Klausa who was at the front of the team.
Then he raised his crocodile-like tail and shot out a bone spur.
The bone spur hit the ground in front of Krauser, causing him to pause.
Then he immediately turned around and fired at the brain-like tissue on the monster's head.
At the same time, the monster shot out another bone spur, which flew towards Klausa's chest.
The bone spur collided with the bullet in mid-air, causing a slight deviation in its flight trajectory.
Eventually, the bone spur pierced Krauser's left hand.
The bone spur was almost as long as Krauser's forearm.
The moment he was stabbed, Klausa's body suddenly leaned to one side.
"Major!"
Leon was shocked.
At the same time, the soldiers continued to fire at the monster's head.
A large number of bullets instantly poured onto the brain-like tissue on the monster's head.
Without the protection of the carapace, the fragile tissues are vulnerable to bullets.
The monster was beaten to a pulp, losing its ability to move and lying on the ground, dying.
Klausa endured the pain, pulled out the bone spur and threw it on the ground.
"Are you all right, Major?"
Leon stepped forward and asked.
"It's nothing..."
Krauser said without changing his expression.
The beads of sweat on his forehead were enough to show the severity of the pain he was enduring at the moment.
The medic immediately stepped forward to disinfect and bandage the wound.
But this is only a temporary measure.
The bone spur was full of T-virus, and soon Klauser felt the stabbed arm gradually losing consciousness.
Before dying, the monster turned around and looked at Manuela.
The scarlet eyes gradually turned into a soft blue.
Then a tentacle stretched out and slowly reached towards Manuela.
Yang Ren immediately stood in front of Manuela and pointed the gun at the monster.
But Manuela suddenly tugged at the corner of his clothes.
Yang Ren looked back in confusion, only to see Manuela's eyes full of pleading.
The tentacle quickly reached Manuela and gently stroked her cheek.
At this moment, Manuela seemed to understand everything.
“Mom…Mom…?”
The monster in front of me looks like a mutated water louse.
She was a mutant from her mother who had "died" a few years ago.
I think it was caused by the T virus that Javier injected into her mother.
The T-virus cured her mother's illness in an instant.
But it also turned her into a monster in front of everyone at this moment.
The only people she knew left were her husband Javier and her daughter Manuela.
He attacked everyone in Flood Village before, probably because he thought they wanted to hurt Manuela.
Every time Manuela sang a lullaby, it calmed her down.
The word "Mom" awakened the last of her humanity.
The blue eyes gradually dimmed and turned into the moist corneas of normal creatures.
However, she soon closed her eyes completely, and the tentacles drooped limply.
A tear flowed from the corner of the eye.
"I don't want to take the lives of others... in exchange for my own survival..."
Manuela bowed her head.
……
Inside the greenhouse where Veronica's ecosystem plants are grown.
Javier gradually walked into the greenhouse and looked at the huge plant.
"Hehehe... We should have done this a long time ago, Hida-ge..."
Throwing down the pistol in his hand, Javier gradually approached the plant.
"Stupid Americans..."
"Do you think you are good at fighting..."
As he spoke, Javier raised a syringe in his hand and injected it into his neck without hesitation.
The moment the virus entered his body, veins popped up on Javier's forehead and he clenched his teeth.
All the cells in the body were destroyed in an instant and then transformed into Veronica cells.
The great pain made his saliva fly out.
Even so, he opened his arms to the huge plant in front of him.
"But you... forgot one thing...!"
"When you stare into the abyss..."
"The abyss is also staring at you...!"
The huge plant in front of him gradually began to wriggle.
The top that looked like a queen of flowers gradually opened and swallowed Javier's body in one bite.
