He did not belong to that type of person. Moreover, as time passed, his body gradually aged, and his goal changed, from building a new human society to developing a virus that could let him achieve immortality.
But because he could not adapt to the virus, he could only seek other methods. When Aiden sent him a video of fighting the Tyrant and Nemesis with an ordinary human body, it was like discovering a new continent.
"So then, Mr. Spencer, is our plan going to begin now?" Sergei said.
"Where is it now?" After the excitement passed, Spencer regained calm and asked lightly.
"It's in every corner of the city. As long as you give the order, it can come immediately," Sergei glanced at the screen on the tablet that Alex passed over and said.
"Then… let's begin." Spencer looked at the people still fighting and nodded.
Immediately, Sergei began putting a special protective suit on himself and the two Ivan-type Tyrants. Then he waved his hand backward. A few soldiers holding single-barrel grenade launchers stepped forward and fired several specially made grenades toward the center of the battlefield.
Sss~ Sss~ Sss~
After those grenades landed, they didn't explode but instead emitted thick purple smoke.
"This is… pheromone?"
The people who had been fighting fiercely all stopped when they saw the purple smoke gradually enveloping the entire Moscow Hotel area.
And the ones most familiar with the virus, Wesker and Alexia, after simultaneously speaking out the word "pheromone," suddenly felt a strange sensation in their bodies.
"Old thing, what is this new product again?" Alexia forced herself to endure the discomfort in her body and asked.
"This is something I prepared specially for you. A kind of pheromone extracted from the G-virus," Spencer said.
Then he looked at Aiden and continued, "But don't worry. This kind of pheromone will not affect you. Because of the unique nature of viruses attracting and devouring each other, it will only target people like Wesker and Alexia, and won't attack still-living humans."
"It?" Aiden asked, "What is it?"
Spencer slightly smiled and pointed behind them, "It… has come."
Everyone followed the direction of his finger, and then they saw a disgusting scene they could never forget in their lifetimes.
On the streets connecting to the Moscow Hotel, countless rolling meatballs were fusing together as they gathered here. On those meatballs grew countless tentacles and eyes of various sizes, even partially fused human limbs.
"What… is this thing?" Even Revy, who was somewhat thick-skinned, showed a terrified expression.
"I don't know either, but it feels a bit familiar." Aiden searched through everything he had seen in the Resident Evil series of games but couldn't find a monster like this. Soon, he remembered the G5 form of William on the train in Raccoon City's underground lab.
"No wonder he was so calm all along, not panicked at all. Turns out he still had this move left," Alexia said coldly. "Had I known, I would've taken him out first."
"You can still act now." Aiden glanced sideways at her.
"No," Wesker shook his head beside them. He clenched his fist and said, "That pheromone has affected us. My strength suddenly weakened. What about you, Miss Alexia?"
"Same here. And… my body has developed a desire. A desire to fuse with those meatballs." Alexia showed a disgusted expression. "I'd rather die than merge with those monsters. That old man, to have created such a monster… he must be insane."
———
"…I am indeed insane." Though Alexia's voice wasn't loud, in the suddenly quiet space, it was especially clear.
After hearing it, Spencer said, "I'm really jealous of you. Why is it that when you're born, you can enjoy the results of our research, while I can only experiment again and again, listening to reports of failures again and again."
"I'm not willing. I still have so many things left undone. I don't want to just die from aging. I want to obtain eternal life. I want to realize my dream. I want to build a world ruled by new humans."
"So, you must die. And that person, I must capture him too."
After speaking, Spencer waved his hand toward Sergei and continued, "At all costs, capture him."
"Understood, Mr. Spencer. I will complete the task," Sergei saluted solemnly, then watched as Alex pushed Spencer onto the helicopter.
After the helicopter took off, Sergei turned his gaze toward Aiden and the others. With a wave of his hand, over a hundred new UBCS soldiers spread out and surrounded them.
However, he didn't immediately give the order to attack, because the time to capture them had not yet come.
———
As more meatballs covered in tentacles and eyeballs gathered, they fused faster and faster. Its size increased almost geometrically. Gradually, a monster hard to describe with words appeared before everyone's eyes.
It seemed to have no legs, but countless thick tentacles supported its body. It seemed to have no hands, yet it constantly swung multiple thick limbs, each covered in dense tentacles.
Its whole body was covered in eyes, especially on the protruding structure that should be its head, dozens of bulging large eyes arranged irregularly. And in the center of these eyes formed a mouth-like orifice filled with layers of jagged teeth, terrifying to look at.
A new G-virus fusion mutant was born.
"I've never seen anything so disgusting in my life," Revy swallowed hard, face pale.
"Same here," Alexia cut in, "It's uglier than even the worst experimental failure I've ever made… Wesker, what about you?"
"I'm a perfectionist," Wesker said simply.
"Great," Aiden nodded. "Besides this, can we talk about something else? Like what do we do next?"
"My suggestion is retreat," said Balalaika, "Unless you have a way to deal with it." She had already decided to give up the place.
"If it's retreating…" Aiden glanced at Sergei in the distance. "I don't think he'll let us leave."
"And you all heard what Spencer said, this thing will devour other viruses…"
"Although the pheromones weakened my strength, escaping shouldn't be a problem," Alexia interrupted him. "Besides, he just doesn't want you to leave."
"You're not staying to help?" Aiden glanced at her and asked.
"You must be out of your mind. We're enemies. And just now, you hit me the hardest," Alexia coldly replied, her tone full of sarcasm.
"But now we have a common enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. As long as our interests align. Besides, if I really get captured by Spencer, and he does find the secret to immortality in me, do you think you'll have a good time in the future?" Aiden ignored her tone and asked.
Alexia paused, thinking it made a bit of sense. But recalling how just moments ago they almost beat each other's brains out, she hesitated again.
"Teaming up with enemies isn't shameful, Alexia," Aiden continued. "Back in Raccoon City, I even shot Wesker 'to death.' Now I'm not teaming up against you."
Wesker nodded coldly and said, "He's right."
"Then…" Alexia still hesitated.
But at that moment, the massive G-virus fusion mutant suddenly made a strange sound. Then from its protruding limbs, it shot out hundreds of tentacles, sweeping toward everyone around, even including Sergei's new UBCS soldiers.
"Damn it, didn't that guy say it wouldn't attack humans?" Revy shot down the tentacle aiming at her and voiced everyone's confusion.
But no one responded, because in the next moment, the tentacles retracted, dragging back dozens of UBCS soldiers and Balalaika's subordinates.
However, the giant G-virus fusion mutant didn't directly absorb them, instead, it secreted a special substance that wrapped them like cocoons.
"I suddenly remembered something," Aiden said, watching those cocoons hanging from the tentacles. "William's wife, Annette, the creator of the G-virus, once said the G-virus had a terrifying trait."
"What trait?" Alexia asked. She knew samples of the virus were in the branch company, but didn't understand it deeply.
"Reproduction," Wesker spat out two cold words.
At the same time Wesker finished speaking, the cocoons burst open. Dozens of mature forms of the G-virus larva, resembling what Aiden had seen in Raccoon City Police Department, appeared before them.
Seeing these G-virus mature forms, not only did Aiden and the others look grim, but even the American national security advisor, called "Sir" by Echo Six's captain Crisp, grabbed Crisp by the chest and shouted like mad,
"Tell that damn pilot to get here right now!"
The fact that these monsters could infect and reproduce in such a short time deeply shocked him.
He wasn't really worried about this city's safety, but because of U.S. government involvement, Umbrella's American division was forcibly split up, and Spencer himself was essentially kicked out by his own hand.
If Spencer released monsters like this in the U.S., he couldn't imagine the disaster that would follow.
Crispin wiped off the spit on his face and shouted, "Got it, sir! I'll have Sienna contact again!"
Just then, the G-virus fusion mutant began its attack. With countless tentacles wriggling, its seemingly clumsy massive body charged at Wesker and Alexia with terrifying speed, and the infected G-virus mature forms followed, launching attacks on everyone around.
"Open fire! Hurry, open fire!"
"Destroy those monsters!"
Seeing the charging G-virus fusion mutant and mature forms, Balalaika shouted commands at her subordinates.
Echo Six, Wolfpack, and the new UBCS soldiers all opened fire.
The only one who didn't move was Spencer's most loyal hound, Sergei Vladimir. He coldly watched the chaotic battlefield, still waiting for the best moment.
"Mr. Spencer, I will definitely capture him for you." Sergei clenched his fist tightly and made a vow in his heart.
