Umbrella Corporation's Hive Base No. 3, Area E.
Bang, bang, bang.
The field team assembled by S.H.I.E.L.D. was armed to the teeth. Calm and composed, they advanced slowly in a wedge formation while pouring the bullets in their guns like a storm at the monsters ahead.
"Roar, roar, roar!!!"
Sharp claws carved open the ground beneath their feet. The monsters roared on all fours as bullets tore through skin and flesh and drilled into their bodies, but the super-regeneration granted by the virus let them all but ignore the attacks.
These were biological weapons cultivated by the Umbrella Corporation—Lickers.
They were the result of zombies mutating after T-Virus infection reached a critical point. Because their eyes had degenerated, they had lost their vision, and they hunted entirely through their keen hearing.
These man-made lives were hideous beyond belief. Slaughter was their only purpose. Red fascia lay exposed outside their bodies, and their pulsing brains were directly laid bare to the air.
Whoosh!
An arrow passed through the hail of gunfire and sank precisely into a Licker's brain.
"Roar!!"
With a wail, one Licker collapsed and died cleanly.
"Quick, shoot their brains!"
Seeing his strike succeed, Hawkeye Barton, bow in hand, immediately shouted to the agents ahead.
Bang, bang, bang.
With his warning, the agents' formation shifted sharply. They covered one another and laid down intersecting fire.
These carefully selected elite agents were extremely accurate shots, and in an instant, Lickers lay dead and wounded all over the ground.
But these dangerous biological weapons were not brainless fools. They swiftly changed tactics, relying on their powerful limbs and claws to climb upside down along the walls and ceiling, radiating dense killing intent.
Together with their powerful leaps and lightning-fast movement, even rapid-fire weapons found it hard to hit their bodies.
"Ahhh!!!"
