True - One Knife, One Kid

Ren Ze had no idea that Umbrella Corporation's upper management coveted him so greatly. They had even placed a higher value on him than Alice and wanted to use every possible means to capture him.

After receiving Umbrella Corporation's order, Nemesis stopped firing the Gatling gun. He set the Gatling gun in his right hand and the rocket launcher in his left on the ground, then walked toward Ren Ze and the others.

Seeing Nemesis's actions, Ren Ze immediately understood what Umbrella Corporation was planning. He said to Alice, "Protect them!"

"I know, but Ren, that Nemesis is Matt. He escaped from the Hive facility with us. But..."

Seeing that Alice wanted to say something but hesitated, Ren Ze nodded and smiled. "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry. You're different from him, and things won't develop in the direction you imagine!"

Seeing the calm look in Ren Ze's eyes, Alice's uneasiness upon recognizing Matt gradually settled.

"Be careful!"

Alice grabbed Ren Ze's arm and spoke softly.

Ren Ze said nothing, merely gave Alice a smile. Then he leaped up in an instant, jumping from the overpass more than seven meters above the ground.

Seeing Ren Ze drift down, Nemesis let out an enraged roar. The data displayed on the chip implanted in his head was all transmitted to Umbrella Corporation.

Target: Ren Ze!

Weapon: Unarmed!

Threat Level: ???

Seeing the data sent back by Nemesis—Matt—an Umbrella Corporation executive immediately said, "Capture him alive!"

Upon hearing the order from Umbrella's executive, Matt's huge body charged toward Ren Ze at full speed.

Ren Ze waited quietly where he stood. Just as Matt's massive body rushed before him and his huge hand reached out to grab him—

Ren Ze planted his right foot and launched himself into the air, kicking directly at Nemesis's head.

As Ren Ze's kick came toward him, the chip inside the brute's head suddenly flashed an extreme danger warning.

Nemesis immediately raised his left arm to shield his head.

"Crack!"

With a crisp snap, Nemesis's left arm—thicker than an ordinary person's thigh—was kicked cleanly into a fracture, forcing him to stagger several steps back.

"Roar!"

Seeing the injury to his left arm, Nemesis roared furiously at Ren Ze and charged at him again. His right hand clenched into a massive fist and smashed toward Ren Ze.

Feeling the heavy punch accompanied by a howling gust of wind, Ren Ze turned aside to evade it. Then, half-leaping forward, he slammed a palm into Nemesis's ear, knocking him back another two steps.

Before Nemesis could counterattack, Ren Ze charged straight at him. He sprang upward, landed above Nemesis, and drove both feet viciously onto Nemesis's shoulders.

This time, Ren Ze did not hold back. The immense force drove Nemesis to his knees instantly, his knees even sinking deep into the dirt.

Before Nemesis could grab him with his right hand, Ren Ze used his shoulders as a foothold, flipped backward, and kicked him hard in the broad back. Nemesis was sent sprawling face-first onto the ground.

"This is bad. Nemesis's vital readings are weakening. Sir, it's been less than thirty seconds since the fight began. If this continues, Nemesis will be directly..."

The staff member responsible for monitoring the chip data looked at the report transmitted from Matt's head and immediately spoke to the Umbrella executive behind him.

"This..."

Watching Nemesis get beaten to the ground again and again on the computer screen without any ability to resist, the executive frowned.

He knew that Ren Ze on the screen was powerful, but he had never expected him to be this powerful.

Matt, after being transformed into Nemesis, regarded even ordinary bullets as little more than scratches. They simply could not inflict fatal damage on him.

Yet now, not only had Nemesis failed to harm Ren Ze in the slightest, he was being used as a punching bag.

"It seems Nemesis alone has no way of capturing him. But regardless, Nemesis is important Umbrella Corporation property. Have it retreat immediately!"

Narrowing his eyes, the Umbrella executive decisively gave the order for Nemesis to withdraw.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing the officer behind him, the person at the computer immediately issued the retreat command.

After receiving the order, the mission window in Nemesis's eyes vanished instantly. His massive body swiftly rose to its feet. Without even caring about the rocket launcher and Gatling gun on the ground, he turned and smashed through the iron fence more than two meters high, then ran off at full speed!

Watching Nemesis flee, Ren Ze did not know why, but he suddenly wanted to laugh.

Over two meters tall, with a long scar across his face, a terrifying row of teeth, and a habit of letting out bone-chilling roars.

Such a mighty bioengineered creature had now smashed through a two-meter-high iron fence and fled like a beaten dog. Was this what they called looking fierce but acting cowardly...

That really did not fit Nemesis's character setting.

Still, in the movie, Nemesis—Matt—eventually regained his memories and sanity, then turned on Umbrella Corporation like mad. He held back Umbrella's fully armed security squads, allowing Alice and the others to escape Raccoon City by helicopter.

That was precisely why Ren Ze had not used his sword. He did not want to kill Matt, who had become Nemesis, just yet.

Come to think of it, Ren Ze had originally assumed Umbrella would not be so utterly insane as to directly transform uninfected living people.

He needed to hurry and save Angela. He could not withstand a nuclear bomb.

Back on the overpass, Alice visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ren Ze return.

To outsiders, Ren Ze fighting Nemesis might have looked like an adult beating up a child. But someone with Alice's skills knew just how dangerous it had been.

She did not know the full extent of Ren Ze's strength, but with her current physical condition, one careless mistake—taking even a single punch—would have left her seriously injured.

Alice stood here protecting Terri, while Jill, at some point, found a car that could still start and drove it over.

"Get in, everyone. We don't have much time!"

Looking at the people outside the car window, Jill said in a low voice.

Jill sped all the way forward, sending a few scattered zombies blocking the road flying. After picking up trainee LJ along the way, the group finally arrived in front of the school where Angela was hiding.

"Everyone, be careful. There might be Zombie Dogs here!"

Seeing that the bloodstained cage inside the police car at the school entrance had been torn open with a huge gap, Ren Ze warned the others.

Inside the school lobby.

Looking around the dark, gloomy school, Jill spoke after a moment. "Everyone, maybe we should split up and search!"

"No!"

Hearing Jill's suggestion, Terri, who was holding a DV camera, immediately shook her head. "I'm not going off alone. The three of you are all highly skilled, but I'm just a host. Forget fighting zombies—even an ordinary person could beat me!"

"Besides, I don't even know how to use weapons like guns!"

Terri looked at everyone and spoke with complete seriousness.

Hearing Terri's words, Ren Ze and the others nodded.

If Ren Ze remembered correctly, Terri, the female host, seemed to have died in this very school.

She had been eaten by a group of children who had turned into zombies.

They were taking Alice and the others with them anyway, so bringing along one more person made no difference.

"No need to make this so complicated. Just follow me!"

Ren Ze looked at Alice and Jill, then said, "I'm not sure which floor that little girl named Angela is on either. We'll start from the top floor. Stay close to me and we'll bulldoze our way through. I'll clear the path, and you shout Angela's name!"

"That works too!"

Hearing Ren Ze's words, Alice was the first to nod in agreement.

"Let's go. Be careful, everyone!" With that, she took the lead upstairs.

Pushing open a classroom door, the first thing Ren Ze saw was a group of children with their backs to him.

"I hate bratty kids." Shaking his head, and not caring whether it would leave any psychological scars on the people behind him, Ren Ze began harvesting them—truly, one slash, one little friend!
