Sudden...

While Yin Kuang was enduring the immense agony brought on by the G-Virus, a scene related to the same virus was unfolding within the temporary camp of the Umbrella Corporation.

Dr. Ashford pushed his wheelchair with a ghastly expression, arriving before Dr. Isaacs. He slammed a stack of papers onto the desk and said, "This is the preliminary analysis of that small cup of black dog blood..."

Isaacs' eyes lit up instantly. He snatched the documents with force and exclaimed, "Oh, thank you, my dear Dr. Ashford. You see, our collaboration is truly quite intuitive. This is exactly what I needed at this moment!"

Without another word to Ashford, Isaacs sat down and began to read the data with meticulous care, flipping through the pages one by one and even softly reciting several technical terms in English. Gradually, as he turned the pages and reached the end, his face grew increasingly flushed—clearly a result of intense excitement.

"So that's it... so that's it!! I finally understand; the key lies right here!! Thank God, thank the Almighty Creator for creating such a miraculous substance and delivering it to me... Oh—I can hardly suppress the excitement in my heart!"

Isaacs danced with agitation, unable to control himself. He even frantically knocked a table full of electronic instruments to the floor to vent his indescribable excitement. He grabbed Ashford by the shoulders and shook him violently, "Ashford, do you see? God has opened a door for us! A door leading to heaven. Believe me, believe me, you will be able to stand up soon; you will be able to run like a normal person. Your daughter can become even stronger... everyone, all of humanity... will no longer be troubled by disease, no longer fear cancer or AIDS... We can live much longer... Everyone will be a powerhouse, a long-distance champion... Can you imagine? History! This is history. We, you, and I, are creating history..."

Ashford merely looked at Isaacs coldly, allowing himself to be shaken until it felt as if his bones might rattle apart. Only when Isaacs finished his last word did Ashford adjust his crooked glasses and say quietly, "Those whom God wishes to destroy, He first makes mad... Isaacs, the power of nature is infinite, and human evolution has its own laws. What you are doing now is attempting to defy nature. If you truly wish to compress the millions of years of biological evolution into a day, a month, or a year, then believe me, you are not bringing hope, but destruction!"

At this moment, Isaacs could no longer hear any advice. In truth, he had always done as he pleased; he would even dare to defy the board of directors, so what else was there that he wouldn't do?

"Apologies, I was a bit excited." Isaacs straightened his lab coat and said, "Ashford, I think there is no need to continue that low-level Nemesis Project... I am going to initiate the Alice Project directly. And since Alice can perfectly integrate the T-Virus, I think she might also be accepted by the G-Virus... With this data and that black dog, I believe it won't be long before I can research the perfect G-Virus... By then, you and I will be able to witness history in the making..."

Ashford let out a cold snort, "Ensure my daughter's safety... what you want to do is your business. I am only responsible for helping you with research and analysis. I have absolutely no interest in your G-Virus."

"No matter... I believe you will be interested eventually!"

After saying this, Isaacs pinched a wireless Bluetooth earpiece and said, "Attention all units, order: Terminate the Nemesis Project. Transmit all data to the headquarters, declare the Nemesis Project a failure, and formally apply to implement the Alice Project. Order: Evacuate Raccoon City immediately. Dispatch the 'Cleaners' in 10 minutes!"

The previously quiet Raccoon City camp instantly became bustling with activity!

"Damn it! There really is a Nemesis!! And two of them at once!!" The Headmaster had indeed increased the difficulty of the mission because of our interference... I said this would happen, and now it's been proven, hasn't it?"

The Otaku's pale face turned even paler. As he waved his wand—which looked like a thin, black, withered tree root—he absorbed a snake-like trail of black mist back into it.

On the ground not far away lay two hideous, terrifying humanoid monsters. They were exactly like the Tyrant from the original movie—the product of the Nemesis Project: tall, strong, ugly, and foul-smelling.

No one who saw such a monster would have any favorable impression of it. It was no wonder the Umbrella Corporation chose to abandon the Nemesis Project in favor of the Alice Project, which had perfectly integrated the T-Virus, using Alice's genes to clone hundreds of "Alice Clones"!

However, while the Nemesis was ugly, its formidable strength was beyond doubt—it possessed immense power, a bloated but agile body, and was equipped with rocket launchers, six-barreled machine guns, and other high-damage weapons. If 5,000 rounds of ammunition were rained down like a storm, an ordinary person would have long since been reduced to a pile of minced meat; just thinking about it made one's scalp tingle. Even the Teaching Assistant Trio dared not face that terrifying storm of metal!

Undoubtedly, if placed on a battlefield, it would be a humanoid tank!

Take the two Nemeses that the three teaching assistants had just beaten into a bloody mess, for example. Their formidable 250 points of health, combined with a hide so thick it was infuriating, and the fact that they were fighting in a confined space, meant it had taken the Teaching Assistant Trio nearly 20 minutes to finish them off. Although the trio hadn't suffered any substantial damage, this battle had left them feeling extremely frustrated!

But what was the use of being angry? The legendary Headmaster had cut their strength by 50%, leaving them with nowhere to vent their rage.

"Just save it," Xiong Ba said in a muffled voice. "Your crow's mouth—if it doesn't work for good things, it works for bad ones. Don't let four more of these Nemeses pop out later; you'll exhaust us to death. I suggest you use fewer 'curses' in the future and accumulate some virtue for yourself."

At this point, the three had already exited The Hive through a very secret passage and arrived at the villa on top of the facility. It was here that they had suddenly bumped into the two Nemeses—and were welcomed by two flaming rocket projectiles! However, the two monsters had now been dealt with.

Ji Wen checked the time and said, "There is still time, but we must hurry. I don't know why, but I feel a sense of unease, as if something is about to happen."

Xiong Ba also wrinkled his prominent nose and said, "Indeed, I smell something unusual as well. Ever since we encountered that violent explosion, a strong sense of unease has welled up in my heart. I've been thinking about it the whole way, but I can't figure out where things went wrong."

Hearing this, the Otaku's expression gradually grew solemn, "You've noticed it too."

If they were ordinary people, they might just laugh it off—it's just a feeling, right? What's there to worry about? But for students of this "University," they often valued their intuition—that ethereal sixth sense—above all else. Because it was this very intangible thing that had saved their lives time and time again!

This was a special ability honed through countless life-and-death crises, so they trusted it implicitly.

The atmosphere was somewhat heavy. Finally, Xiong Ba said, "If we can't figure it out, then let's not. We'll take it one step at a time. We've survived so many dangers; haven't we even cleared A-difficulty scenarios? Don't forget, this is only F-difficulty, and freshman-level F-difficulty at that. So, let's hurry and complete the reward for that 'Ultimate Mission'."

"We have no choice but to follow your lead. However, we must remain vigilant at all times," Ji Wen said.

With that, she stepped forward, her delicate, pale hands gripping the door handle, and pulled!

However, to the shock of the Teaching Assistant Trio, the moment the door opened, a dazzling light suddenly projected through the gap, instantly illuminating their faces!

Stunned!

The expressions of the three were laid bare by the bright white light, all of them wearing looks of utter astonishment...

How could there be such a dazzling light in the middle of the night!?

Because there was an omnipotent "Headmaster"!!

"Attention: All students and teaching assistants of Class 04, Season 12!!"

"Due to an unforeseen event, the difficulty of this 'Entrance Exam' will be raised to freshman C-level difficulty!!"

Headmaster's Note: Children, this is a punishment for your reckless behavior, though you may also consider it a reward—of course, if you admit your mistakes, I will be very generous and forgive you."

"Oh—Shit!!"
