Chapter 326 -259: Two Fists Hard to Beat Four Hands?_1

After this, Duanmu Huai and his group took a cable car to the underground research base of the Umbrella.

However, to their surprise, when they entered the base, they didn’t see Sherry’s mother, and she left no note behind.

“Hmm…I have a feeling something is off.”

Duanmu Huai stared at the quiet research institute in front of him and muttered under his breath. Claire also took out her gun, vigilantly scouring their surroundings.

“Sherry, do you know where your mother’s office is?”

“I heard mom mention it, but I don’t know where…”

...

“Alright, then it seems we’ll have to search slowly.”

Inside the entire research institute was pitch dark, teeming with zombies and mutant creatures. It was apparent that even this so-called underground secret facility of the Umbrella Corporation couldn’t escape the virus’s invasion.

“Frankly speaking, I have no sympathy for these idiots.”

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he crushed a struggling Licker’s head under his foot and kicked it aside.

“There are always some self-important fools who think they can control everything, but the reality is not so…. Well, although the spirit of adventure and exploration deserves recognition, their actions are unforgivable.”

From Duanmu Huai’s perspective, all these people were potential Plague God devotees based on the Tribunal’s standards – all deserving death. However, in actuality, researching viruses and bacteria isn’t entirely harmful; if one could attack strength with strength, it could even be commendable.

Unfortunately, in this universe, the majority of biologists fell under the influence of the Kind Father and believed that humans should make a “small” sacrifice for a better future. And they insisted everything was under control. But the truth was, everything was already beyond control. Duanmu Huai often couldn’t eradicate it and could only silently issue an extermination order to completely obliterate a planet.

Claire and Sherry followed behind him in silence. Sherry’s face lacked color. She didn’t know what her parents were researching exactly, only that they were developing medications. However, everything she saw made her unable to believe that this was merely drug research – especially when she saw the mutant samples soaking inside the glass containers.

“Wait!”

But as the trio crossed the corridor, Claire suddenly halted.

“There’s a smell of blood.”

“There’s a smell of blood everywhere.”

Duanmu Huai looked around – weren’t there zombies whose brains he had splattered against the walls?

“No, it’s different… this way!”

As she spoke, Claire ran with Sherry towards another side, while Duanmu Huai shook his head and followed. They passed through a security door and arrived at a courtyard platform. Then they spotted a blonde woman in a white robe leaning against the wall; her body covered in blood, a unique-looking firearm laid by her side.

“Mom!!”

When she saw the blonde woman, Sherry let out a shriek and hurried towards her. Duanmu Huai and Claire also hurried over. There were several holes in the woman, blood streaming incessantly from her – even if the critical parts were unaffected, the woman wouldn’t survive much longer.

“…Oh, Sherry…”

Hearing Sherry’s voice, the woman slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze met with Sherry’s, her expression complex.

“I’m sorry… Sherry… I screwed up, I didn’t expect Williams…”

Just as she spoke, the blonde woman suddenly began to cough violently, spitting out mouthfuls of fresh blood. Seeing this, Sherry became extremely anxious.

“Mom, hang in there, we’ll treat you…”

“It’s no use, Sherry.”

The blonde woman shook her head once more.

“I know my condition, I’m sorry… I should’ve met with you earlier, but alas…”

As she spoke, the blonde woman looked at Claire, reached into her pocket and pulled out a chip.

“Take my daughter…. escape from here…. Williams is still alive, this city… it’s finished. There’s a train at the bottom, it can take you out of this city… please, save my daughter…”

“…I will.”

Claire took the chip and nodded. The blonde woman turned her gaze back to Sherry.

“I’m sorry, Sherry, for all this… It’s really my fault… But that doesn’t matter now, what’s important is that you survive, go, take the elevator and leave here… he’s not dead… he’s not dead yet…”

The blonde woman looked at Duanmu Huai.

“Please… save my daughter…”

But before she could finish, the blond woman’s eyes widened and she coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood and then closed her eyes, never again making a sound.

“Mother!! No—!”

Watching her mother die, Sherry wept bitterly. Seeing this, Claire comforted her gently.

Only Duanmu Huai turned around, his expression grave as he stared ahead.

“Alright, sorry to interrupt, but we don’t have time to mourn here.”

“Wait, big guy, at least give her some time…”

“Oh, but it’s not up to me.”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai pointed ahead.

“Only if it says so.”

“Huh?”

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Claire turned her head to look, and she was instantly taken aback.

There, on a platform not far from the three of them, a massive figure slowly climbed up. It was all muscle, standing as tall as Duanmu Huai. Claire recognized it instantly: it was the same monster that Duanmu Huai had twice knocked down before. However, this time, it seemed even more vicious. Not only had its head transformed into a monstrous shape, but its two hands had also grown tremendously, filled with sharp, menacing claws. It looked like a lethal weapon.

“How is this possible… wasn’t it…”

“Looks like this thing is hard to kill.”

Duanmu Huai clenched his fist, focusing on the monster before him.

“Big guy, what’s your plan?”

“I’ll keep it busy. You guys head to the train. I’ll deal with this monster!”

“…I understand, big guy, be careful.”

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Claire nodded, then once again turned her gaze towards Sherry.

“Let’s go, Sherry. We need to leave this place. Listen, she loved you very much… she wants you to survive, you know that, right?”

“…Yeah.”

Hearing Claire’s words, Sherry snapped back from her grief. She nodded and kissed her mother’s cheek. Then, Claire got up with Sherry, and they ran towards the elevator in the middle of the platform.

“Roar———————!!”

Seeing Sherry and Claire leave, the monster roared in rage and charged at them again. But Duanmu Huai stepped in between, blocking its path.

“Hey, monster. If you want to get past, you have to get through me first… Damn, what a cliché!”

“Huff——————!!”

Just as Duanmu Huai was grumbling to himself, the mutant creature swung a claw at him again. Duanmu Huai punched forward with his left hand, hitting the creature’s claw. The creature seemed to become cleverer. It suddenly spread its hands, trying to grab Duanmu Huai’s arms. Then, Duanmu Huai saw two giant arms emerged behind the monster, smashing down at him!

Damn, it’s playing dirty? This thing really knows how to evolve!

Any normal person would have been helpless in this situation, but not Duanmu Huai. He roared in rage, his arm muscles bulging. He charged straight at the creature, headbutting it. The creature howled in pain, and taking advantage of its momentary stiffness, Duanmu Huai kicked it in the groin, sending it flying.

“Thud!!!”

The creature hit the wall hard once again, but it quickly got back on its feet, swinging its four arms and flaunting its might at Duanmu Huai.

“Hey… they say, ‘four hands are better than two’. I want to see just how many times you can morph. That idiot Gerrick, with all his arms, was no match for me. Don’t tell me you think you are stronger than him!!”

“Roar—————!!!”

However, the mutant didn’t seem to care about Duanmu Huai’s words. It jumped up and pounced at Duanmu Huai. But Duanmu Huai remained motionless where he stood. As the monster charged up to him, Duanmu Huai raised his arms to protect himself. In the next moment, the monster swung a claw at Duanmu Huai.

But…

“Now is the time, die!”

As the creature swung its claw at him, Duanmu Huai quickly moved forward, plunging himself into the creature’s chest. He stretched out both hands, holding on tightly to the monster’s large claws. Then, Duanmu Huai extended his right leg, kicking out at the monster’s shin.

“Crack!!”

Under Duanmu Huai’s kick, the mutant’s shinbone bent in an unnatural direction, and the unbalanced mutant creature fell over. But Duanmu Huai didn’t stop there. As the creature lost its balance, he moved to its rear, grabbed its left arm, and pulled hard, ripping the mutant creature’s two extra arms right off its body!!

“Ooooh!!!”

This attack inflicted unbearable pain even for the mutant. It howled in agony and tried to claw at Duanmu Huai. However, Duanmu Huai quickly circled to its rear, kicked at its remaining leg, and under Duanmu Huai’s attack, the mutant creature’s remaining leg below the knee was shattered. The lower leg twirled in the air as it shot out, like a broken figure.

Now that it had lost both legs, the mutant finally fell to the ground. At the same time, Duanmu Huai grabbed its mutated right claw, bending it backwards with brutal force!

“Crack!!!”

The twice-enhanced right claw couldn’t resist Duanmu Huai’s strength and twisted unnaturally, sagging limply. But Duanmu Huai was not done yet.

“Won’t die, huh? Let’s see if you can survive when I tear you in half!”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai roared and plunged his hands into the mutant’s body. His sturdy hands crushed the mutant’s bones, muscles, and internal organs, piercing through its body. Then…

“Die for me!!!”

In the next moment, Duanmu Huai ripped the creature in half with his bare hands!

Blood splattered in all directions, staining the ground around them. The monster’s body, torn in half by Duanmu Huai, twitched for a while before finally falling silent.

“Hmph, waste!”

Duanmu Huai threw the two halves onto the ground and stomped on the mutant’s eyeball. He cast a cold glance at it.

It wouldn’t be getting up again this time.
