Inside the middle school classroom, several men glanced sideways at Angela with envy in their eyes, wishing they could take her place.
Xiao Miao had personally measured those curves, and since he was in his post-nut clarity phase, he did not care much about it.
He casually took Angela's backpack and pressed a button. Three green vials automatically popped out, cold air curling around them.
It was clearly a temperature-controlled storage case disguised as a backpack, and the three green vials inside were T-virus antibodies!
Besides that, there were six bottles of slow-release oral capsules.
"Carlos, catch!"
Xiao Miao tossed an antibody vial to Carlos. Carlos caught it clumsily, but the sudden movement pulled at his wounds, and he could not help coughing up blood.
The others immediately became wary. Alice raised her gun and asked, "When were you bitten?"
"Three hours ago!" Carlos answered truthfully.
"WTF?" The Black guy immediately broke down. "Couldn't you have said something sooner? I've been standing so close to you this whole time, motherfucker!"
Bai Zhou, also a Traveler of All Heavens, had his pupils contract. His face was filled with lingering fear, and cold sweat broke out all over him.
He had actually failed to notice that this native special forces soldier had been bitten!
Carlos looked at Xiao Miao and raised the vial in his hand. "What is this?"
"A T-virus antibody. Today's your lucky day," Xiao Miao replied.
Alice looked at Angela. "How do you have something like this... Wait, you're a T-virus carrier too?"
"Yes, Dad prepared these medicines for me..." Little Angela was not the scheming sort. She answered whatever they asked and told them everything she knew.
She suffered from a hereditary genetic disease: congenital muscular atrophy. She had been paralyzed for life. In order to let his daughter live like a normal person, Dr. Ashford began researching the T-virus. Using its cellular regeneration and repair capabilities, he successfully cured her paralysis. The drawback was that she needed regular injections of T-virus antibodies.
Umbrella Corporation had seized and altered Dr. Ashford's research results, turning the T-virus into a bioweapon. That was what had led to all this disaster.
Xiao Miao already knew all of this, but Bai Zhou's eyes lit up as he listened. He even pulled a small notebook from the inner layer of his combat uniform and recorded everything he heard.
When traveling the heavens, intelligence came first!
Every Traveler of All Heavens knew this timeless principle. Its precise origin was no longer known, though it was said to be the famous saying of some big shot.
Every experience of a Traveler of All Heavens was immensely valuable. Whether official organizations or civilian groups, they would purchase important intelligence obtained while traveling through other worlds for internal study.
Time waited for no one. After a brief exchange, they escorted Angela out of the school building.
A telephone at the street corner was ringing. There was no need to ask; it had to be Dr. Ashford calling, desperate to hear from his daughter.
After they answered, Dr. Ashford's voice came through the receiver, asking to speak with his daughter.
Following some bargaining, they successfully learned the supply helicopter's landing location, while Dr. Ashford finally got to hear his daughter's voice.
The nuclear strike could not be avoided. The order had come directly from Umbrella Corporation headquarters. It was expected to detonate at the first light of dawn, erasing all of Raccoon City completely.
According to Dr. Ashford, this helicopter would be everyone's last chance to leave Raccoon City. Although it was not a private flight prepared for them, Dr. Ashford believed they would find a way to hijack it.
Xiao Miao secretly shook his head. The crippled man was celebrating too soon. While the mantis stalked the cicada, the oriole waited behind. That final evacuation helicopter was a trap Major Cain had carefully prepared for them.
The other side's target was Alice, and probably himself and Bai Zhou as well.
Just then, a system panel notification suddenly sounded beside Xiao Miao's ear:
[Ding, traversal mission: Obtain 200 Fate Points (200/200) completed. Calculating settlement...] [Fate Points +200] [Detected that the Traveler of All Heavens has other unfinished missions. Return immediately?] [Yes/No]
Xiao Miao decisively chose "No." The Fate Points on the panel flickered, and his balance became 235 points. The return prompt disappeared as well.
Only after Xiao Miao completed another mission would he have another chance to return.
After the two groups joined up, there were nine people including Angela. A sedan clearly could not hold them all, while splitting into two vehicles would make moving inconvenient. So they cleared out a Raccoon City K-9 unit van and found two guns inside as well.
The helicopter would land at City Hall. They hurried on their way, the van weaving through the streets of Raccoon City.
City Hall!
Raccoon City's City Hall had been built with great grandeur. Commissioner Smith, who had overseen the construction project, was upright and incorruptible, having skimmed only fifty percent of the construction funds.
The municipal building was twenty-four stories high, and the entire structure resembled an open book, symbolizing that people without degrees did not deserve to enter the department.
The symbolism was beautiful and had once moved countless students to tears.
A massive plaza had been built in front of the municipal building, with a large fountain at its center. The power grid had not yet collapsed, and the pumps were still operating. An endless stream of water sprayed from the statue of a woman and flowed into the pool below.
This fountain was no ordinary one either. It symbolized a woman who could spray water... Ahem, ahem. What exactly it symbolized had been lost to history. Visitors had many different interpretations, each seeing it their own way.
Now, the entire municipal building and the plaza before it had been completely requisitioned by Umbrella Corporation. Fully armed soldiers guarded the key routes, snipers had been stationed on the roof, and the area was brightly lit.
A large transport helicopter painted entirely black slowly descended into the plaza.
"The helicopter Dr. Doom mentioned should be that one, right?"
Near the municipal building, Xiao Miao's group hid and observed in secret. Upon seeing the helicopter, the Black guy spoke quietly.
"Just like the doctor said, the guards aren't too tight."
"We can do this!"
They withdrew their gazes and whispered behind cover, discussing their assault plan.
The helicopter was parked in the plaza, while the fire positions in the municipal building also had to be cleared at the same time to avoid alerting the enemy. They could only split into two teams.
The personnel arrangements on both sides were about the same. Xiao Miao's side had three combatants and one deadweight—the female reporter. Bai Zhou's side also had three combatants, plus a rapper.
The noncombatants would not participate. They placed the female reporter, the Black guy, and Angela in a school bus on a nearby road.
Considering that the rapper was Black and the female reporter was not bad-looking either, they repeatedly emphasized before setting off that they absolutely could not make any strange noises.
The Black guy was deeply hurt, believing he had suffered racial discrimination. The female reporter was also deeply hurt, believing her taste had been insulted. Angela was likewise unhappy, disappointed that she would not get to watch the live broadcast.
Meanwhile, Xiao Miao's six-man team began their operation. Carlos and his two companions attacked the plaza, while Xiao Miao and his two companions infiltrated the municipal building to deal with the fire positions inside. The two teams coordinated through walkie-talkies.
The operation went smoothly. The special operations soldiers guarding the plaza became deaf and blind. Carlos and his two companions had already crept up behind them before they barely reacted, only to have their necks snapped directly.
Each guard squad had exactly three men. Carlos, Bai Zhou, and the extra each took one, their division of labor clear and precise. Not a sound was made.
On top of the municipal building, a sniper noticed something unusual. He lowered his head and leaned toward his night-vision scope, aiming the crosshairs at Carlos's head and slowly tracking his movements.
One second before the sniper pulled the trigger, the view through his scope suddenly went dark. The sniper raised his head in confusion and saw a hand covering the lens. Following the hand upward, he saw a handsome man swinging his fist.
Bang!
Xiao Miao knocked the sniper down with a single punch.
