Vehicles sped along the highway.
The convoy consisted of nineteen buses and six SUVs. The roar of engines rolled across the road, and everyone present wore a grim expression.
Obviously.
The speed at which the T-Virus spread had thoroughly shocked everyone, despite their being mentally prepared for it.
So even without Genjutsu controlling them, they were willing to acknowledge Jin as their leader.
As for a child?
Had anyone ever seen a child who could breathe fire and possess such formidable strength?
Before absolute power, such concerns were utterly meaningless.
"Boss, we've been locked on!"
"Five Longbow Apaches have taken off. The force of an entire special operations squadron is with them. They're carrying five massive iron containers and are expected to make contact with us in twenty minutes."
"Those iron containers are holding—damn it!"
"Three enhanced Lickers and two monsters codenamed Executioners. Each of them is equipped with an enormous axe!"
Kaplan's expression was ugly.
With Dr. Charles's help, he had directly implanted a backdoor program into Umbrella's Red Queen. Although it would last only until the next manual artificial intelligence inspection, when Red Queen would remove it and seal the backdoor...
But that was enough!
Uchiha Jin's expression remained unchanged. "How long until we reach the base?"
"One hour and five minutes," Kaplan replied.
Uchiha Jin nodded.
He had to admit that Umbrella was truly formidable.
Previously, they had only narrowly escaped Umbrella's pursuit because Eagle Country had not yet collapsed, forcing Umbrella to act cautiously. But now, they had only just begun their operation, and Umbrella's private forces had already caught up with them.
Twenty minutes later.
He could already hear the roar of the Longbow Apaches. James Shade hurriedly spoke up. "Jin, we don't have any heavy weapons!"
"It doesn't matter. I'll handle it." Uchiha Jin's expression was calm. "Just stay inside."
After saying that, he opened the car door and jumped onto the roof.
Having long since trained in tree-climbing, he only needed to channel Chakra into his feet. It was hardly a major feat.
Thus, even with the vehicle accelerating to its limit, Uchiha Jin stood atop it with his arms folded, as steady as a mountain.
Slowly...
The Longbow Apaches reached the front of the convoy, and the distance between them continued to shrink. Several Kunai appeared in Uchiha Jin's hands.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before the enemy could open fire, Uchiha Jin struck first.
He activated his Sharingan. With Chakra reinforcing them, the Kunai moved as fast as lightning and struck the rotors of all five helicopters.
That was right.
It was that smooth!
Even though his strength was only at the level of an ordinary Chunin, he was still invincible in a small-scale battle like this.
Almost in an instant.
Before the battle had even begun, the five Longbow Apaches crashed to the ground and became balls of fire. The special operations teams inside were wiped out without firing a single shot.
However.
The five enormous iron containers that had landed on the ground suddenly showed their red lights turning green.
Bang!
Accompanied by a tremendous crash, the monsters inside roared as they charged out.
But in the next second.
Uchiha Jin formed Hand Seals, and a surge of purple flames erupted from his mouth.
"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
Under the surging purple flames, the monsters began to howl and shriek!
Obviously.
Although these things possessed decent strength, they had no resistance to fire at all. To Uchiha Jin, they were nothing more than sitting ducks.
Five seconds later.
Uchiha Jin stopped the technique, and the sky-filling purple flames vanished.
The T-Virus monsters that were still howling and had yet to die were immediately sent flying by the convoy. The vehicles then sped away without looking back.
Afterward.
Uchiha Jin returned to the vehicle.
What greeted him was the shock on everyone's faces. Although they had seen the Uchiha act before, they were still nowhere near as stunned as they were now.
Five Longbow Apaches had been destroyed by Uchiha Jin before they could even make a move.
Even the monsters cultivated by Umbrella had failed to withstand his casual attack.
Dr. Charles was especially shaken.
As a top biologist, he felt that Uchiha Jin was simply not human.
Although he had never examined Jin's body, he knew that even a perfect fusion with the T-Virus would have difficulty reaching that level of muscular and skeletal density...
And the ability to breathe fire was practically impossible for a carbon-based life-form!
Forty-five minutes later.
The convoy finally reached the scheduled Eagle Country military base, and everyone inside prepared for battle at any moment.
Unfortunately.
The entire base was deathly silent, as if not a single living person remained.
"This—something's wrong!"
"Everyone, be careful. Stay on alert."
James Shade chambered a round and prepared himself for battle.
The others did the same!
After activating Observation Haki and sensing the situation, Uchiha Jin waved his hand. "We do need to prepare for battle. The soldiers inside have already become zombies!"
"What?" Everyone stared in astonishment.
This was a military camp!
One or two people becoming infected could be explained, but how could everyone have been infected at the same time?
However.
This was no time to discuss it. Everyone charged straight into the camp and spent half an hour completing the sweep.
Next.
After taking full control of the camp, Kaplan briefly checked the previous records before finding Uchiha Jin with a terrified look on his face and a file in hand.
"Jin, take a look at this!"
Seeing Kaplan's horrified expression, Uchiha Jin immediately became interested as well.
Did we find something good?
He summoned all the squad leaders and spoke to Kaplan with a smile.
"Play it."
Next.
As Kaplan played the video, everyone present turned ashen.
Uchiha Jin did too!
Because when the Raccoon City incident had occurred, a team of Umbrella medical and biological personnel had arrived. Under the guise of providing free injections of a new vaccine, they had injected every soldier in the camp with the T-Virus.
No wonder!
When he had watched Resident Evil in his previous life, he had always felt that the movie was full of bugs. From beginning to end, there had been no sign of the military.
For a movie, that might merely have been a plot hole.
But reality was different!
At the very least, in this world, Umbrella had bribed the higher-ups and, at the same time as the Raccoon City incident, dispatched its personnel around the globe to inject every soldier with the T-Virus.
"Absolutely insane!"
"They're—damn monsters!"
"These cold-blooded capitalists... Do they have no humanity at all?"
"Why would they do this? What exactly is their objective?"
"..."
