Aerith!

Chang Wei did not make a move. He was waiting for Aerith, the so-called most perfect T-Virus-compatible host.

Jill and Payton switched on their tactical flashlights, but all they saw was a blood-red blur flash past. It was too fast for them to make out what it was, but one thing was certain: it was definitely nothing good.

Bang!

Already somewhat irritable from the T-Virus, Payton finally could not hold back in the oppressive darkness and opened fire. The shot missed, and Jill immediately sensed trouble.

"This is too open. Fall back to the side door!"

She hurriedly tugged Payton back. For beasts, unknown enemies were the most dangerous, but their rash gunfire had already made those monsters aware of the threat they posed.

The church hall was far too open, with nothing to use as cover. Trying to hold this place with two handguns was nothing but a dream.

The problem was that Jill had not expected to encounter monsters like these. She had thought there would only be those slow-moving zombies, in which case the handgun and ammunition she had brought would have been enough to protect herself.

But judging by the fact that she ran out of ammunition later on, she had clearly chosen looks over bullets.

Otherwise, her Fourth-dimensional pocket could fit at least a thousand handgun rounds, right?

"Priest, is there anywhere sturdy here?"

Jill gripped Chang Wei's hand tightly as she asked.

"I don't know. I'm not the Priest here. You can call me... Dante."

After thinking for a moment, Chang Wei gave himself an English name. After all, they could tell that he was Asian.

"You're not the Priest here?"

Payton could not help crying out in surprise.

"That's right. I just came here to have some fun."

Chang Wei said.

"Never mind that. Hide first!"

Jill was in no mood for this. If they wanted to chat, there would be plenty of time later.

Then the group ran into a bald old Priest.

The old Priest was quite surprised to see so much "food" deliver itself to his door. He hurriedly greeted them kindly, while also giving Chang Wei, dressed in a pure white uniform, several extra looks.

So gaudy and mismatched. Could he be some so-called heretic from a new sect?

The old Priest immediately felt that this was guidance from the Lord. The Lord approved of what he had done and had sent heretics right before him!

"Priest, there are monsters outside. Do you have anywhere sturdy here?"

Jill hurriedly asked.

"Rest assured, child. This is a place sheltered by the Lord..."

The old Priest wore a devout expression, leaving Jill speechless.

Just then, the Lickers could no longer restrain themselves. Chang Wei had not intimidated them, and in their eyes, this was fresh food. Even that corpse no longer smelled appetizing.

Roar!

Seeing the mangled monster crash into the door and burst it open, only to be driven back by Jill and Payton's frantic gunfire, the old Priest was instantly dumbfounded.

There really were monsters!

He had thought the monsters Jill and the others mentioned were zombies. Only now did he realize they were monsters like Hell Demons!

"My Lord!"

Before the old Priest could finish speaking, a Licker shot out its tongue like lightning, wrapped it around his neck, and dragged him outside.

Jill and Payton hurriedly tried to save him, but another Licker crawled inside.

The two could only retreat.

At this Crucial Moment, the roar of a motorcycle engine sounded. That powerful, ear-splitting engine note made it obvious that it was a good bike!

She was here!

Chang Wei's Longing for target, the perfect T-Virus prototype!

Not low-grade trash like Lickers and zombies. Unless Chang Wei later went into the desert and found that doctor's clone to obtain the thing suspected to be the G virus from the movie world, Wesker's Ouroboros Virus looked impressive, allowing teleportation and making him impossible to kill with a headshot.

But in Chang Wei's eyes, it was merely average and did not appeal to him much. Chang Wei could do that kind of teleportation too, and far more easily than Wesker.

Hearing the sound of the motorcycle, Jill and Payton were startled. The two Lickers were also drawn by the noise. Then they saw the stained glass of the Virgin Mary shatter as an unmistakably gorgeous blonde woman rode a motorcycle down from above, landing steadily before bringing the bike to a stop with a wide spin.

Drawn by the noise, the Lickers immediately charged at Aerith.

Aerith was surprised to see so many Lickers here. She had no idea whether something was attracting them, but she calmly drew the two MP5s at her waist and opened fire on them.

Although the Lickers tried to dodge, every bullet still struck them, blasting countless sprays of blood from their bodies.

Only because Aerith's neural reflexes could keep up with the Lickers' speed could she achieve such incredible accuracy. If it had been Jill and Payton, even with an entire warehouse of firepower, nine out of ten shots would still have missed.

With a large number of bullets driven into their bodies, the two Lickers immediately collapsed, sliding across the floor and leaving two trails of blood as they brushed past Aerith.

Then two more Lickers worked together, attacking Aerith from the front and back. Aerith remained calm and flung her motorcycle at one of the Lickers.
