☆ Guerrilla warfare, the situation reversed

Ye Xi knew that Ethan's body had definitely changed, but she didn't expect the virus Alex gave him to be so powerful. Not only did it drastically change his strength, but it also affected his mind! While defending herself, Ye Xi cursed Alex in her heart.

Virus! Damn virus! If it weren't for this stuff, would Ethan have become like this?! Would this world have become like this?! Would all this mess have happened to me?! Maybe I wouldn't have even transmigrated... Okay, Ye Xi, you're thinking too much about nonsense right now. The focus now is on how to break through Ethan's defenses! Ye Xi watched as her sharp military daggers sliced ​​through the monster's arms without leaving a single mark, as if she could see the red "-1" slowly floating above the monster's head when fighting it. It was completely unable to break through its defenses!

While Ethan retains a human level of thinking, he is clearly devoid of reason. He is like a natural predator; unable to inflict direct fatal damage on his prey, he changes tactics, attempting to wear down the prey's stamina like a cat toying with a mouse.

The virus had clouded his judgment... Ye Xi stared at Ethan's bloodshot eyes, which held nothing but killing and destruction, and felt a sudden pang of pain in her heart... This shouldn't be happening. How could that idiot senior, with his clean and gentle golden eyes, have become so... She sneered, suddenly turned around, and shot towards the wall like an arrow, while simultaneously releasing piles of seaweed to hinder Ethan's pursuit.

As she approached the wall, Ye Xi's figure flashed, and her feet instantly stepped onto the wall. At the same time, countless seaweed suddenly emerged from the wall, climbing up her waist and providing a pull as she ran upwards. In the blink of an eye, her figure disappeared into the darkness.

While controlling the seaweed to slow Ethan's pace, Ye Xi also had to control the seaweed to stabilize herself. Working on two fronts simultaneously, Ye Xi was already panting heavily, but she couldn't stop. Although the explosion had plunged the upper space into complete darkness, Ye Xi wasn't sure if the virus had also altered Ethan's eyes. So, after reaching the top, Ye Xi quietly and quickly moved a few steps towards the center. The moment she moved, an unidentified object arrived at the spot where she had paused briefly, not only blasting a large crater but also severing the seaweed wrapped around her right leg!

"Ugh..." The sudden feeling of weightlessness made Ye Xi let out a soft cry. She quickly covered her mouth, released the seaweed binding her right leg, and gathered dozens of seaweed strands from the corner of the wall to tie around her waist. With a strong pull, she quietly moved to the opposite corner. At the same time, a large crater appeared where she had just been!

"Thank goodness..." Ye Xi spread her limbs out in a starfish shape and braced herself against the corner of the wall. Without hesitation, she spread seaweed all over the top of the wall, and of course, she wrapped it around herself several times to mask her own scent with the smell of seaweed. She held her breath and stared at the monster below. She only breathed a slight sigh of relief when she realized that the monster couldn't find her at all.

It seemed his eyes weren't his own; they hadn't developed any special abilities, only his five senses had been amplified to an extreme. Ye Xi lay in wait in the shadows, quietly watching Ethan below, who was becoming increasingly agitated due to his inability to find a target. She narrowed her eyes, searching for an opening. His skin was thick—no, to be precise, his arms were incredibly hard, and his reaction speed was lightning fast. An attack on his heart would undoubtedly be blocked by his crossed arms. Similarly, an attack on his eyes would also be blocked…

So… Ye Xi slightly curled the corners of her lips. Taking advantage of the moment he turned around, she raised her military knife, pushed off with both legs, and charged straight at her target. As expected, a second after Ye Xi moved, Ethan accurately turned around and raised his hand to block Ye Xi's military knife aimed at his back. Seeing that the military knife was already stuck between his two "fingers," Ye Xi twisted her hand holding the military knife, braced herself on the hilt of the knife, and lifted herself up, kicking her legs towards his blood-red eyes. Similarly, as expected, Ye Xi's legs were grabbed by Ethan's other large hand.

It seemed that Ye Xi's attacks had been blocked, but this was just a feint. The moment she was caught, Ye Xi used the hand holding the knife hilt to push herself up, and in the instant she moved her hand to the sharp palm that was holding the military knife. Enduring the pain of her palm being cut, she straightened her body and gripped the military knife tightly with the only hand that could move. With a fierce gust of wind, she accurately stabbed Ethan's carotid artery!

Ye Xi is not tall, only about 1.65 meters, but when that 1.65-meter distance is forcefully squeezed between her arms, it is not so easy to ignore. Now, Ye Xi is supporting herself on Ethan's left hand with one hand and pushing against Ethan's right hand with both legs, separating herself from Ethan's high-defense shield, and her sharp weapon is pointing directly at what looks like her most vulnerable neck.

This move was impossible to defend against, and Ye Xi was 80% confident of a successful attack. Of course, to avoid the 20% chance of an accident, Ye Xi didn't hesitate to use her ability again. Although after the almost perfect coordination of her abilities before, she already felt that she had more than enough power to use them, she didn't want to lose her life because of that 20% uncertainty. After all, she didn't know what he had just done, but he had actually blasted two holes in the top!

What happened next was beyond Ye Xi's expectations—the neck looked so soft, but it was actually stronger than his arms! Looking at the broken military dagger, a hint of surprise and unwillingness flashed in Ye Xi's eyes. He immediately released the military dagger. At the same time, countless seaweed climbed up Ethan's arms and took advantage of the loosening of the restraints to dodge away.

Ye Xi dodged quickly, just like her attack—clean, swift, and without hesitation. Ye Xi wanted to retreat back into the darkness, but she only had one chance. Perhaps sensing that the pull of the seaweed had weakened, Ethan immediately burst forth, not only breaking free from the countless seaweeds but also swiftly appearing in front of Ye Xi. He struck her with a palm, making her dizzy and disoriented. If it weren't for her relatively strong willpower, she might have fainted from that blow.

Damn it! Ye Xi, who had been knocked to the ground, quickly rolled to the side, coughing up several mouthfuls of blood. She wasn't exactly tough; despite being enhanced by the virus, she was far weaker than Ethan, whose physical enhancements were directly applied to his body.

Damn it, ever since Wesker rescued her from the government base, she's felt like she's always lacking the strength to use her abilities, and recovering from dizziness after using them has become incredibly slow... What the hell did Wesker feed her?! Ye Xi gritted her teeth. If she really had to fight to the death, would she still have the strength to escape after dealing with Ethan?

Yes, Ye Xi had been plotting her escape the whole time. Wesker and Alex were locked in a love-hate relationship, while Alice and her four were locked in a fierce battle with Kaina. She'd be a fool not to seize this perfect opportunity to finish off Ethan and escape! Although she hadn't watched Resident Evil 5, she remembered what happened at the end of the fourth movie. Who knew if Alex had any other tricks up his sleeve?

Of course, all of this is based on the premise of "getting rid of Ethan". Ye Xi wants to escape, but if she doesn't properly settle Ethan down... she believes that she will definitely not want to abandon Ethan and run away.

Compared to Ye Xi's guerrilla tactics, Wesker and Alex's approach was much simpler and more direct, and of course, much more exciting. After all, Alex was also a survivor of the Progenitor Virus, so in some ways he was on the same starting line as Wesker.

However, the enhancement of the Progenitor Virus depends on the individual's constitution, and the speed of bodily mutation is also closely related to it. For example, Wesker and Alex's blood-red eyes are typical examples of mutation. Ethan, however, is different. Although his eyes are also blood-red, Alex would never give him something as powerful as the Progenitor Virus. The change in his eyes is merely a coincidence, consistent with the mutation in his body.

"What, you're still worried?" Alex's voice remained cold and slick, but his entire body below the head had changed. If Ye Xi were to describe it, she would definitely launch into a huge tirade: What?! Why would the Progenitor Virus mutate people like this?! Who told you the Progenitor Virus is such a rip-off?! This is clearly a combination of the most disgusting mini-boss in Resident Evil 5, the Jajangmyeon-kun, and the Queen Ant from Resident Evil: Code Veronica! Dust, do you have to be so drastic?! This is cheating, my friend!

However, the shameless master of the pit, Dust, doesn't care about the collapse of games and movies, so let's get back to the main topic. Although Alex's appearance is unbearable to look at, his abilities are indeed not to be underestimated. In addition, Wesker has been using his perfect speed to dodge, which makes Alex, who already despises him, feel a little smug, and this smugness is directly reflected in his expression.

However, this smugness didn't last long. He finally realized—Wesker completely disregarded him, and instead frequently glanced in Ye Xi's direction. Although these movements were too subtle to be noticed, Alex, who had been locked in a fierce battle with him and whose abilities were not to be underestimated, couldn't possibly miss them. Inevitably, a hint of sarcasm and anger crept into his snake-like voice—"I never thought that the perfect Number 13, who has been so cold and rational for so many years, would actually have a change of heart and worry about his experimental subject..."

Alex glanced sideways at Ye Xi, who was completely at a disadvantage, and gave a slightly malicious smile. He lightly flapped the transparent insect wings on his back and rose into the air, then said, "I really don't understand what you see in the O virus. So what if it has perfect devouring and creation abilities? This adapted host is still powerless against an overwhelmingly powerful and insane body. If I didn't know your true nature, I would think you really like that flat-chested girl."

Alex scoffed. As for the talk about Wesker falling for Ye Xi, it was just sarcasm. More than thirty years had passed since he was chosen by Umbrella as a child, and through over thirty years of intrigue and power struggles, he understood Albert Wesker better than anyone. This "Wesker," who consistently achieved excellent results in all tests, was different from other "Weskers." He was overly rational, so incredibly rational that even Alex had to admire him—at least he had some humanity and knew how to use Kaina, this foolish woman who deeply loved him. But this "Wesker"? He probably wouldn't even deign to look at anyone (male or female).

So for such a monster to say he likes someone is the biggest irony for him. In some ways, he's a mad scientist, but he just feels that this woman named Ye Xi is worth studying.

Of course, this is Alex Wesker's understanding, an understanding that seems absolutely correct.

Of course, I, Dust, can responsibly tell you, that Alex Wesker also stumbled upon the truth by accident, in a daze. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Of course, I'm telling you responsibly, Uncle Wei definitely hasn't discovered this truth yet. ╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Instead of worrying about that piece of trash who's about to become my slave's dinner, you should worry about yourself! Why suppress the power the progenitor virus gave you? Go ahead and mutate! I want to see what kind of struggle you, as a loser, can offer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body vanished, even faster than Wesker! Countless tentacles attacked Wesker from all directions, so dense that there were no blind spots, and the blood-red tips seemed capable of killing someone in the blink of an eye.

But Wesker maintained his utterly cold expression, ignoring the deadly tentacles. His gaze remained fixed on Ye Xi, watching her wounds appear and heal due to the O virus, only to be injured again. Yet, her slender figure stubbornly and tenaciously resisted. A slight smile crept onto his lips, and a deep, magnetic voice slowly escaped his throat—

"Foolish Number 12, is your view of the O virus and what I value so superficial? Do you think that thick skin and high defense mean you can ignore defenses and attack recklessly? It seems that your brain, which has been tormented by the virus to the point of being mentally challenged, truly doesn't understand what real madness is..."

In an instant, all the tentacles seemed to have crashed into an invisible wall of bronze and iron, and their sharp tips exploded!

Author's Note: Sorry everyone, I've been so busy since school started QAQ —————————————————————————— Uncle Wei didn't deny the truth that Alex stumbled upon by accident, did he?! Uncle Wei's current age is the original 38 years old, and his height is also the original 183cm. An 18cm height difference is cute, but 190cm would be a bit too much... So, in the game, there are many types of viruses and the BOSSes they produce. To make it easier to understand, or frankly, I was too lazy to write that much, this story sets the only native viruses to be the T-virus and the Progenitor Virus. Uncle Wei and Alex are both parasitized by the Progenitor Virus, which naturally results in various bizarre and mutated biochemical monsters. Please understand and treat them as cute creatures (get lost!). (Who thinks everyone has your twisted values?) As for Uncle Wei's mutation... before, Uncle Wei could control himself and temporarily (emphasis added) utilize the Progenitor Virus, unlike Alex who actively mutated. He didn't want to become a brain-dead monster controlled by the virus ←_← In this respect, Uncle Wei actually cares a lot about his image (you're kidding!). Now... doesn't he also have the O virus? What kind of mutation do you think he can undergo? Ye Xi hasn't mutated at all ╮(╯▽╰)╭ Or do you guys like sadistic and heavy-handed stuff? (picking nose) (←Get lost!) By the way, do you guys still remember the Progenitor Virus in Ye Xi's body? (picking nose)
