When Did You Become an Angel?
It was a very beautiful face, which even surprised Russell a little, but he was sure he had never seen the person before.
On the contrary, another petite, short-haired girl looked somewhat familiar, and Russell quickly remembered who she was.
He had met her the first time he entered the Main God Space; Supergirl's sidekicks. Embarrassingly, he couldn't remember whether she was a psychic or telekinetic user, and he had also forgotten her name.
"Hahaha, I knew you wouldn't recognize me!"
The mature, sophisticated woman, with her quirky personality, is now standing with her hands on her hips, looking smug. Her demeanor is completely at odds with her face shape, a waste of her striking features.
Russell frowned slightly. "Are you... Band-Aid?"
The laughter stopped abruptly. Ying Yingying choked on her saliva and coughed violently a few times before she recovered. With a face full of black lines, she said, "Looks like you've remembered."
"It really is you!?"
Russell glanced at Ying Yingying's chest and exclaimed in surprise, "It hasn't been that long, and she's already grown so big!"
"Hmph, this is my true self."
Ying Yingying proudly puffed out her chest and raised her head, taking Russell's surprise as envy and jealousy. Last time, when she manually confirmed Russell's gender, her self-esteem was severely damaged. Now that she had the advantage, she naturally had to show off.
"Vice Captain, now is not the time to dwell on these things. The mission takes priority." Mu Xinxin, the short-haired girl, spoke up. It was too embarrassing; she couldn't stand it anymore.
When Ying Yingying saw that there were only two minutes left on the countdown to choose a faction, her expression turned serious. She stepped forward and put her arm around Russell's shoulder, adopting a sisterly stance. "Jason, tell your sister the truth, which faction are you on now, human or night demon?"
The fully grown Ying Yingying is at least 1.7 meters tall, and she easily put her arm around Russell's shoulder. The latter felt an ominous sign looming over him and couldn't push her away no matter what he did.
That's right, Ying Yingying did it on purpose!
She's almost thirty, but her figure is still that of a primary school student; you can imagine how frustrated she must be. Having finally made it big and evolved into such a domineering person, she naturally wants to give her former class enemy a good thrashing and slap them in the face.
To not return home in wealth and honor is like wearing fine clothes at night!
As for restraint...
We're all women, hugging and cuddling is normal, you're not at a disadvantage!
Russell, feeling utterly aggrieved, pushed several times and muttered under his breath, "Human, I choose to help Robert develop a virus vaccine."
"Alright, I'll choose humans too!"
Ying Yingying made a decisive decision and had her teammates make the same choice. Then she smiled and said, "We're all in the human camp, so we can fight side by side again."
It felt great to be trusted. Ying Yingying chose the human camp without hesitation, which touched Russell a little. As if he had thought of something, Russell hurriedly asked, "How many Reincarnator appeared with you, and which camp did they choose?"
"They chose Night Demon!"
Ying Yingying said seriously, "The explosion just now revealed our location. It's not safe here anymore. Take Robert and leave immediately."
Russell didn't waste any words, nodded, and led the two into the basement. When they pushed open the door, Robert looked completely bewildered. He shakily reached out and pointed at Ying Yingying and Mu Xinxin, saying, "Woman... woman!?"
To be fair, the softer features of Asian women haven't yet been accepted by mainstream international aesthetics—specifically, the Western world where trends are considered the benchmark. Therefore, while Russell saw two beautiful women in their own right, they wouldn't stand out much in Robert's eyes.
Her figure is okay, but her face is too ugly!
Unfortunately, he hadn't seen a living person in three years, and even the lioness seemed pretty to him. When he suddenly saw two women who were still breathing, he was so excited that he could hardly speak.
"What's the big deal? Jason is a woman too!"
"Jason! Jason? Aren't you called Law...?"
"Ahem, sorry, I was lying to you before. My real name is Jason!" Russell quickly interrupted, secretly relieved that it was a close call.
"Uh, you're a woman?"
"..."
"Jason?"
"Yes, it was all an act before! I, Jason, am a woman, I never change my name or identity!"
You're lying!!!
"..."
Beside her, Ying Yingying circled the laboratory, packed all the equipment into her Space Ring, and stuffed it inside.
Russell clicked his tongue in amazement; rich women were indeed different. His Space Ring couldn't hold so many things. He stepped forward, took out the observation box for mouse number 6 from the shelf, and then asked, "Robert, is there anything else we forgot?"
Robert stared wide-eyed, not quite understanding what was happening, until Russell slapped him on the back of the hand and he snapped out of it, "What was that just now? Magic, superpowers, or space technology?"
"I'll tell you slowly on the way, and see if I've forgotten anything. It's no longer safe here, we need to retreat immediately."
Robert exclaimed urgently, "The generator! We can't lose the generator!"
"It's nothing..."
The three, along with Robert and Sam, flew towards the outskirts of New York City on Flying Carpet. Shortly after they left, a dozen or so Reincarnator were attracted by the sound of an explosion. After confirming it was Robert's address, the Reincarnator realized they were too late and dispersed to expand their search area, looking for Silk.
In the stillness of the night, under the dark, star-studded sky above New York City, nearly 700,000 Night Elves began to stir. Undeniably, humanity has declined; Mutant are the true masters of this planet.
The city was much livelier than usual tonight. The Reincarnator were eager to find Robert, so they carried out various violent demolitions of buildings and encountered a huge number of Night Demons, resulting in a brutal and unbearable battle.
Although they belonged to the same faction, the Night Demons refused to acknowledge the Reincarnator, treating them as mere prey. The Reincarnator, accustomed to arrogance and self-importance, looked down on the natives, who were both intellectually and physically weak. The two sides clashed at the slightest provocation.
With the loss of hundreds of thousands of Night Demon Legion members who could have helped gather intelligence at night and served as cannon fodder in critical moments, the Reincarnator have dug a huge pit for themselves from the very beginning, a pit that could very well be fatal.
In the suburbs of New York City, Russell and his friends set up camp in an air-raid shelter. Robert, after being persuaded by Russell, began working overtime and staying up all night to develop a virus vaccine.
Mu Xinxin went out to capture the Night Demon, while Russell and Ying Yingying were responsible for Robert's safety, and he began his daily intelligence gathering.
"Why not just leave New York? Wouldn't that be safer?"
Ying Yingying shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. Based on my understanding of the world of 'I Am Legend,' for the human faction to win, one of two factors must be met."
Which two?
Russell asked, knowing that Ying Yingying possessed an encyclopedic mind when it came to uncovering world backgrounds and plots.
Ying Yingying held up two fingers. "Robert's research on the virus serum is the foundation for the human camp's victory, but the serum alone is not enough. The serum must be delivered to the survivors. Otherwise, we will have to reverse the virus in the Night Demons on a large scale and turn them back into humans."
Russell frowned slightly. "To be honest, my last War World was Resident Evil. Before the nuclear bomb exploded in Raccoon City, I saved Dr. Ashford, who had developed the T-Virus, and made him develop a virus serum as atonement. I completed the game on the spot. It wasn't as complicated as you make it out to be."
Ying Yingying stroked her chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "It might be because Ashford has a lot of people assisting him, or maybe your group went too far in Raccoon City and scared the Umbrella Corporation... Hmm, there's too little information, these are all I can think of..."
Russell mimicked Ying Yingying's gesture, pinching his chin and saying, "Did I go too far in Raccoon City? No, I don't think so!"
"Forget it, there's no use analyzing these things. We should always plan for the worst and be prepared for anything! If Robert's serum is successfully produced and the Supreme God has not declared the war over, we will send the serum to the nearest human settlement."
Do you know where the gathering place is?
"Certainly!"
Ying Yingying subconsciously straightened her chest and raised her head, proudly saying, "I remember all the plot points. At the end of 'I Am Legend,' there was a Survivor Settlement in Vermont, not far from New York. That's why I didn't leave New York directly; it's more convenient and saves time."
Russell nodded. "I see!"
"Let's not talk about this..." Ying Yingying looked at him strangely. "You just talked a bunch of nonsense to Robert, talking about heaven and hell. Also, when did you become an angel?"
"Explaining it to him would be too troublesome; it's easier to gain his trust by using the guise of an angel!"
"So..."
Ying Yingying scrutinized Russell's villainous attire and said speechlessly, "He actually believed it?"
"The main reason is that I have reliable character!"
"Hehe, you're getting more and more humorous."
