But that was naturally impossible. Alex Mercer had not gone there today.

So it was certain that the military and Black Watch could not tell the difference between the A-Type Prototype and the B-Type Prototype. Since both could transform and disguise themselves, they could only possibly distinguish them if they appeared at the same time.

However, Alex Mercer was certain that it was Chang Wei, unless there were other Prototypes.

"Whether he's Chang Wei or not, I have to go take a look."

Alex Mercer said.

Then he pulled up his hood, turned, and walked out of the safehouse.

What Alex Mercer did not know was that Chang Wei never stayed in one place. He had no safehouse like Alex's, let alone now, when he was running all over the infected zone in search of Elizabeth Greene's lair.

Alex Mercer later found information on Elizabeth Greene in the laptop he had mailed to his sister.

But by then, Alex Mercer had already released the people from the Gentek Building. His ex-girlfriend's betrayal had gotten him stabbed in the back, but it was a blessing in disguise. His strength had increased greatly, which was why he had the confidence to demand an explanation from Chang Wei.

Otherwise, after witnessing Chang Wei's berserk form and the terrifying power with which he crushed Hunters, Alex Mercer would not have been crazy enough to seek him out.

Chang Wei at least knew the plot, though he was not sure whether his appearance would cause any changes. It was not until he saw signs of infection at the Stadium, with Black Watch soldiers and Marine Corps troops guarding the area, that he knew he had found the right place.

Elizabeth Greene!

Found you.

Chang Wei was very interested in the Gene Points on Elizabeth Greene, as well as her ability to breed Hunters, Hunter Leaders, and even Supreme Hunters.

Over this recent period, Chang Wei had split off a total of ten Predator Sub-bodies, and he was beginning to find it difficult.

After all, the Blacklight Virus was not primarily a virus for reproduction. The Project Redlight Original Virus from Hope Town was the true master of reproduction.

Those ten Predator Sub-bodies had already caused quite a commotion, spreading Chang Wei's Blacklight Virus everywhere. The situation had now become a battle between Project Redlight Original Virus creatures, evolved Super Blacklight Virus creatures, the Marine Corps, and Black Watch.

Alex Mercer had not joined in. He did not have the ability to spread the virus, and even if he did, the Project Redlight Original Virus creatures probably would not treat him as an enemy.

Chang Wei's Super Blacklight Virus was different. It had evolved completely, with obvious differences, and thus a major battle had broken out.

Chang Wei paid no attention to it. They only maintained contact; they did not share senses. Once Chang Wei reclaimed them, however, he would be able to learn what had happened through their memories.

The infection at the Stadium was not yet as severe on the outside as it would be when Alex Mercer found the place later. Of course, that was only a disguise. The interior had already become a Core Hive and was incubating Hunter Leaders.

The Supreme Hunter, or rather, the Super Hunter, was originally a special product. Elizabeth Greene might not even have known that she possessed the ability to produce Super Hunters. Moreover, the two Super Hunters were actually the same one. There was a little Easter egg: after Alex Mercer left, a Super Hunter's hand reached out from that pool of blood. Clearly, it had not been killed.

Captain C had most likely been attacked and absorbed by the Super Hunter, which then disguised itself as Captain C to cooperate with Alex Mercer.

As for why it possessed such intelligence immediately after being born, it could only be said that the Blacklight Virus's ability to gain memories through absorption was simply too powerful.

It had even taught the Super Hunter how to disguise and hide itself, as well as how to use Alex Mercer.

This time, Chang Wei did not choose to lie low and hide. He openly transformed into his Four-armed Hegemon Form.

Unlike his original Four-armed Hegemon Form, Chang Wei had evolved many times by now, and the system had strengthened his Blacklight Virus to a formidable degree. His four high-density, high-energy iron fists each struck with more power than a tank's main cannon. He could truly kill a Hunter with a single punch, smashing it to pieces without needing to break its spine!

The high-density hardened Blacklight Virus covering his body, along with Super Muscle, had sent Chang Wei's mass soaring. Though he was only two meters tall, his mass was already comparable to that of a tank.

"Boom!"

Chang Wei shattered the Core Hive's tough shell with one punch, then rushed inside before the Blacklight Virus could repair it.

In less than a moment, the breach was fully repaired. Though it lacked a concrete wall, its defensive strength had not weakened in the slightest.

"Elizabeth Greene!!!"

The moment Chang Wei entered, he started shouting. He tore apart everything he encountered, unstoppable and invincible.

The predatory Blacklight Virus within him also spread into the surroundings, absorbing and assimilating Blacklight Virus products and converting them into Gene Points.
