Chapter 12

(Please take it easy on my English skills. It is my second language)

Leon was lying beside Ada on the bed. They had a quick shower, and he had fun washing Ada's back. In fact, he washed Ada's front too. It made her giggling so hard. Now exulted, Ada had quickly fallen into sleep. She tried to put on her sleeping suit like she always did before went to bed, but Leon stopped her. His excuse was he would feel stupid to sleep butt naked if Ada was wearing a sleeping suit. A very poor excuse since he had never slept naked. But Ada had agreed anyway, since she liked to please him.

Now watching the nude sleeping beauty beside him, Leon's exultation was all gone. He was almost turned on again by just looking at her, but he knew how to control himself. Ada has had enough for today, for her first time, and she was sleeping. He was too excited to sleep, although he knew he must rest well in order to meet Ada's parents in the best shape possible tomorrow.

"She wasted the money on the other room." Leon thought, as Ada did order a separated room for him again. "Oh well, no problem. I am sure this won't happen again."

Ada was on her side facing Leon. Her face was in a sweet smile as she sleeping. It made Leon felt great. Ada must be really happy, or else why she would smile in her sleep?

"She will definitely say 'Yes!' in the morning. She will have to marry me. Or who else is the right man for her?" Leon was so sure of it.

As Nicholai Ginovaef watched the workers digging the last part of the tunnel, one of the mercenaries under his command walked in with another group of workers behind him.

"Sir! You can go ahead to relax. I will take over from here for the next 10 hours." The mercenary said

"Great!" Nicholai talked with strong Russian accent and he turned to the first group of workers "Ok everyone, go get some rest. We have a big day tomorrow. The tunnel should be completed by next evening." And he added "Make sure do not talk about the work you have been doing here."

Nicholai walked toward the other far end of the tunnel. He was not ready to go to bed yet. All the workers were very tried, but not him since he was not digging. He decided to go to a bar to have some fun. The nearest bar was at Zion Township which was about 70 miles away. It would take him 25 minutes to exit the long tunnel into the forest, there he would get onto his new sports car and drive to Zion. He was there before, and he liked that place, because the hot chicks there loved his Russian accent.

In front of the troops,

The G-Virus mutant stood up from the ground. It was kicked out of the lab building by Sherry. Now it was outside on one big open field and it was focused on by several searchlights.

"What the heck is this?" A colonel in a tank spoke

"I have no idea, Sir. It is definitely one of the creatures from the lab." A tank driver replied "Made by crazy Americans and Europeans" He added

With a loud roar, the G-Virus mutant started to rush at one of the searchlights at top speed. The searchlights were too bright, and the mutant couldn't see anything. It obviously felt there were people ahead. It would only do one thing, destroy them all! Rip them apart!

As the humanoid G-Virus mutant rushing toward the troops,

"Kill it, kill it!" The colonel ordered on the radio while the mutant was still 500 meters away

A few soldiers started to fire their heavy machineguns which were mounted on the top of their vehicles.

"DA DA DA…" A couple of soldiers on the top of the tanks fired the anti-aircraft guns at the mutant too.

"DONE DONE DONE…" Several machine cannons on the top of armed vehicles fired their 25mm rounds too.

Large amount of huge projectiles hit the mutant with extreme forces. Immediately the mutant could no longer move forward as the huge bullets impacting it and ripping through its flesh. It was forced moving backward with both arms try to protect itself.

A couple rounds of anti-aircraft guns had ripped off one arm of the mutant. Then a 25mm machine cannon round completely blew away a leg.

"Damn it!" Sherry was almost hit by some of the huge deadly bullets coming from outside. Walls near her were ripped through like they were made of tofu. "Let me just break out of one of the windows on the other end of this hall" Sherry quickly ran to the other end of the hall as she thought at that moment only the soldiers on this side were distracted by the mutant.

The mutant could no longer standing with only one leg left. It tried to support itself with one arm, but hundreds and hundreds deadly projectiles continue to pounding it. Within a few seconds, it was no longer moving. And it no longer looked like its old self. All its flesh and body parts were completely messed up. Purple blood was everywhere.

Sherry broke a window with a kick. She jumped outside after she threw 1 smoke grenade. To her surprise, as soon as she jumped out of the window. She saw the G-Virus mutant was already no longer moving. It was more like a pill of messed up meat right now. It never stood a chance against the firepower of an army on an open field. Sherry quickly took out her machine pistols and fired upon every searchlight she saw. Within 3 seconds, 11 searchlights were broken after she emptied both of her guns.

"Do not attempt to resist! We will be forced to kill you!" An army office with a speaker shouted

Sherry jumped into the smoke that was rapidly coming out of the smoke grenade. She now couldn't be seen with the smoke in the way, nor she could see the other side. But the smoke only spread out about 20 meters far, while she was still about 450 meters away from the nearest trees. Sherry threw another smoke grenade about 90 meters away from the smoke of the first smoke grenade. Within three second, she moved into the new smoke.

The soldiers obviously saw something moved in a flash. Now the remaining searchlights were focusing onto the second smoke.

"Ah, I wish I have more smoke grenades!" Sherry knew it was a good idea if she could move from smoke to smoke until she could reach the woods, but she had only brought two. And now she was still over 350 meters away from the woods.

Sherry took out a flash grenade, and she threw it out of the smoke she was in at the direction of searchlights. A flash made all the soldiers who were looking at that direction blinded for a few seconds. Sherry took out her backup pistols and jumped out of the smoke. She quickly disposal the remaining searchlights ahead at the same time she ran as fast as she could straight toward the forest, but she miscalculated.

As Sherry had moved another 100 meters within 4 seconds,

She noticed a few searchlights followed her. And they were coming from above. Now ahead of her, instead of the searchlights, numerous green laser aiming beams were directed at her direction.

The man with speaker spoke again "FREEZE RIGHT NOW! Or we will open fire! It is your last warning!"

Sherry did not stop. She continued to run and threw another flash grenade. She turned her head to avoid the flash just before the flash grenade set off ahead of her. Turned around her head, she continued to run as fast as she could. The second flash grenade did work in some degree, because it was clearly that most of the laser aiming beams had moved away from her at random direction. Many soldiers must be temporary blinded.

Now she was only 150 meters away from the soldiers and the forest.

It was a nice try, but Sherry did not know the soldiers in the tanks were completely not effected by the flash. They were looking at the screen rather than at her directly. Now the many soldiers who were flashed by the first grenade started to recover. Numerous laser aiming beams were again pointing at her direction. Above her, 3 of the Z-10 attack helicopters were having their searchlights directly set on her from above.

"Just 5 seconds more! I am not stopping!" Sherry made a gamble. She really did not want to be captured just on her second real mission. It would be embarrassing! And more importantly, it might be over for her.

"Shoot the lower legs with small firearms!" The colonel ordered on the radio "Do not kill!"

Immediately multiple green laser aiming beams moving toward Sherry's legs. Sherry did her best dodging left and right while still moving forward with her top speed try to change the running route repeatedly in order to avoid the aiming. There were shots fired from multiple assault rifles' in single-shot mode. Well placed bullets were hitting the ground around Sherry's legs just as she dodged away from the laser beams. Although Sherry was dodging with superhuman speed, she could feel the bullets were really close and the laser aiming beams were following her moves very closely. She could tell those soldiers were very highly trained, and she knew she could get hit any second. But she was determined not to get caught. As Sherry was getting within 50 meters of the forest, a sniper rifle firing louder than any other assault rifles was heard.

"Ah, no!" Sherry suddenly lost the strength to her left leg and she fell onto the ground, her super fast rushing speed made her continue to slip across the ground for another a few meters before she stopped. "It hurts! It hurts!" Sherry held her left leg with both hands while she was lying on the ground, but she did not scream. Blood rushes out of her knee.

A 12.7mm magnum round from a sniper rifle had penetrated and smashed the bone of Sherry's left leg at the knee completely. Although Sherry had been injured a few times during her training, she was never shot by a gun. It was her first time experience this kind of pain. It was not funny to be hit by a 12.7mm magnum round. Her lower leg below the knee was almost separated. It was amazing the bullet did not blow her leg completely off. Any normal person would have faded by now if they were not dead.

Sherry tried to stand up with her right leg with the support of her arms, but after a few tries she gave up. She just lied back onto the ground and facing the sky without moving a muscle. She would heal, but it would take some time for this kind of serious injures. As for that moment, she was not going anywhere. Even if she tried to put up a fight to her last breath, it would be futile. She was still very young, and she wanted to live.

"It is over…" Sherry thought "I am sorry, Uncle Wesker… I am sorry I got caught. I am sorry I failed you..." The huge pain from the smashed bone in her knee kept reminding her of the humiliation. A tear came down from her eye and was rolling down her partially masked face.

As Sherry was lying on the ground and facing the sky motionlessly, about 20 soldiers moved forward with QBZ-95 assault rifles. All the laser aiming beams from their guns were pointing at Sherry.

When the soldiers got closer, they circled Sherry with all guns pointing at her from just inches away. One of the soldiers kneed down and removed the mask on Sherry's head.

"It's a girl!" They were surprised to see a pretty blond young teen girl's face under the black mask. Sherry did not understand what he was saying, because it was Chinese. She did not care anyway.

"She is crying…" Another soldier said with pity "Must be a lot of pain"

Sherry looked at them from the ground without moving. The soldiers were all wearing full body bio-chemical protection suits with body armor. Sherry was not making a sound, but slowly dropping tears silently. She did not move a muscle as the soldiers disarmed all her weapons.

"Call a medic! She is hurt really bad." One of the soldiers shouted as he saw the blood was still rushing out of Sherry's knee.

Soon a few medics came. They put Sherry onto a litter. One medic started to bind up Sherry's knee.

"We can't treat her here. I can only bind her knee for now to stop the bleeding. Once get onto the ship, we can then further treat her leg"

"Take off that body armor and search her. She might still be hiding something." An officer ordered

Two soldiers lifted Sherry's upper body into sitting position, and together they managed to take off Sherry's body armor. One of them started to search the pockets behind body armor.

"Sir, I found a disk." The soldier reported

"Ah, here it is!" The officer took the disk from the soldier "General Zhao had really planned it all out. Things went almost exactly like he said would be."

Sherry lied on the litter quietly and motionlessly. Her left knee still felt awfully painful, but not as much as before, it had already started regenerating. But it would still take some time before she could walk. She still couldn't even feel her left leg below the knee. Without the body armor, her nice curves were all exposed through the black suit she was wearing since she was not wearing underwear underneath. The soldiers around her started to feel sorry for this helpless badly injured sexy young teen girl who was dropping tears silently.

"Restrain her with the chains!" The officer ordered

"Sir! We have to move her to the ship's medical operating room now! She had lost too much blood!" A medic told the officer "She could die soon"

"You have no idea, do you? Chain her up first!" The officer ordered again "Then do whatever you want to do"

A couple of soldiers tied Sherry completely to the litter with some huge titanium chains. And then they carried her onto one of the armed vehicles.

"Sir! That thing is standing up again!" A soldier suddenly reported as he pointing at the G-Virus mutant.

Everyone turned around, and they saw the creature they had just killed now was very much alive! While everyone's attention was on the girl, it had grown back not only the 1 lost arm and 1 lost leg, but also two extra set of claws on its sides. It looked bigger and stronger than before.

"Fire the main gun!" The colonel inside a tank ordered

"BOOM!" A tank fired its 105mm main gun after turned it at the G-Virus mutant.

A 105mm high explosive tank round missed the mutant by just a few inches and hit the building 40 meters behind it. A big explosion took place, and a small part of the huge building was gone. The walls of the building around the spot where was hit had been blown into pieces and were flying everywhere. Several pieces of these broken walls ripped through the mutant's flesh from behind, and they almost cut it into half. The mutant was down again with its upper body almost separated from the lower body, and it was not moving again.

"That works too." The colonel smiled. It was not what he originally intended, but it made no difference since the mutant was killed. "Next time, you need more target practice, soldier!"

"Sorry, Sir! That target was too small. Next time I will just hit the ground beside it." The gunner of the tank who just fired replied. His usual target was another tank, or other vehicles, or buildings. The mutant was big, but its size couldn't compare with the usual targets. No wonder he had missed.

"All units, we are pulling out. I repeat, we are pulling out right now!"

The colonel repeated on the radio

About 15 minutes later, the island was deserted again. All the troops had left either by helicopters or by a landing ship at the dock. The messed up G-Virus mutant started to change. It was mutating again! Now it had grown 2 more set of legs, and it was no longer a humanoid. It slowly stood up like an animal.

In a flash, a cruiser missile came down from the sky and directly hit the building. BOOM! Entire building was turned into a huge inferno. A wave of flame expanded from the building and wiped through the open field around it. The G-Virus mutant was caught in it and it was torn into pieces of nothing.

Inside a bar at Zion Township, four muscular men were sitting around a table. There were lots of people around. Everyone was talking, laughing, drinking, smoking.

"Hi, you are not from around here, are you?" A girl about 20 stood beside their table asked

"No, we are not. Would you like to join us for a drink, babe?" One of the four men answered "And bringing your friends too"

"Hey, girls! Come here to meet these new guys. They are really big and strong!" The girl turned around and shouted

Four more girls came. They all sat down around the table beside the four men. They obviously like the big muscles of these men. Sure many guys do work out, but it is not very often to see someone this strong, and there were 4 of them together.

It was not too long before a group of army looking guys walked from the same direction of where the girls came from. Those were the marines who usually guard the check points along the road to Raccoon City biohazard zone, now they were off duty. They did not look happy, because the bunch of girls who were company them now were being attracted to the four new comers.

"Hey, buddy! Why don't you go somewhere else? This is our bar!" One of the marines spoke

"Oh, really?" One of the four men replied "Last time I checked, soldiers in service can't run a bar."

"I mean this is the bar we hang out! The girls here are ours! Now leave before someone gets hurt!" The angry marine waved his big fist at the new comers

"Come down. These girls come to us by themselves. It obviously means we are more attractive than you are." One of the four new comers answered, and the other 3 men all laughed.

"You…!" The angry marine put his hand onto the guy's shoulder and he decided to beat this guy up right now

Nicholai's car finally arrived at the bar of Zion. As he was parking his new sports car, he saw a group of marines walked out of the bar while supporting each other, the way how they walk looked like wounded rather than drunk.

"Someone had just lost a fight." Nicholai laughed

Nicholai got off his car, and walked into the bar. Once he stepped inside, he took a good look around first. About 10 of the usual girls inside the bar were all around a table where 4 men were sitting. Nicholai walked up to the table.

"Hey, ladies! Who likes to have a drink with Mr. Russian?" Nicholai's usual saying when entering this bar. It always worked, the girls here just love his Russian accent.

"Get lost!" One of the four men said without turning around his face. He was still angry about the fight started by the marines, although those marines never stood a chance.

"Who the heck are you?" Nicholai was getting mad.

As the man turned around his face,

"AH! It's you!" Nicholai suddenly reorganized the man who just spoke was his old rival - Hunk!

"What a surprise!" Hunk just realized it was Nicholai "It has been a long time."

"So you knew each other?" A girl asked

"We hated each other." Nicholai replied

"So what brought you here? So close to the old Raccoon City?" Hunk asked with a hidden sign of Nicholai was up to something.

"It is none of your business! Besides, why the heck are you here? I am sure you don't live here." Nicholai questioned him back "What have you been doing in the past 6 years?"

"No, I don't live here. Me and my buddies are just traveling around the world to try out all the bars. It is our hobby." Hunk replied "You got a problem with that?"

"Very funny. You just start to sicken me again. Go mind your own business." Nicholai turned around and found another table. He ordered a few drinks.

"Screw it!" After just 15 minutes, Nicholai did not feel like staying any long for today. Hunk and his men grabbed all the girls that usually surrounding him. He was just as muscular as Hunk, and he had the sexy Russian accent. Perhaps the girls just like to try someone new. Anyway, his mood was all gone.

Nicholai knew Hunk must be up to something too. Otherwise he would not be in this tiny town, only 70 miles away from the old Raccoon City's biohazard zone. He was not in the position to find it out right now. So he quickly finished the drinks and checked out.

Nicholai walked out of the bar before he took a last hating look at Hunk who had a girl sitting on his laps, "Hope you die early!" He cursed in his head

As Nicholai was approaching the parking lot, he took out his car key and pressed the unlock door button on the remote control.

BOOM! His fancy new sports car exploded into the sky and dropped back down onto another car beside it. Both cars were in flame. Small broken pieces were everywhere.

"What the fuck?!!!!" Nicholai was lucky to press the remote button early while he was still far away, or he would have been killed for sure.

"Hunk!!!" Nicholai turned around and rushed back into the bar.

Nicholai was very mad as he stepped back into the bar.

"Hunk! You bastard!" Nicholai shouted as he pulled out his pistol "You tried to kill me!"

The explosion in the parking lot already made all the people in the bar looking at the door, included Hunk.

As Nicholai pulled out his pistol, Hunk and his men all had their pistols out. Now 4 guns against 1. One red dot was on Hunk's nose, 4 red dots were all over Nicholai's face.

As all 5 of them were pointing the pistols at each other,

"Wait a minute, Nicholai! I did not do it! I was sitting here the whole time after you arrived!" Hunk shouted while still had his gun pointed at Nicholai's face

"What about your men? Hunk! I really didn't think you would do something like this!" Although Nicholai was a killer himself, he had eliminated other supervisors during the Raccoon City incident just for being able to monopoly the combat data he brought back to Umbrella, so he could bargain for a higher price. He never thought Hunk would pull off something like that too, not several years after they had separated to work for the different bosses.

"It is a fact that you don't like me, I don't like you. But since when you would try something like that?"

"I like you." Hunk replied "It wasn't me, really!"

"Ok, you like me, but I don't like you. Prove to me none of your men had gone to the parking lot after I entered!" Nicholai questioned Hunk again

"They were all here the whole time." A few girls looked at each other and said

"See?" Hunk looked at Nicholai

"Are you sure?" Nicholai turned to the girls

"Yes! I am sitting on his lap the whole time!" One girl answered

"Me too" "and me too" The girls confirmed all 3 men of Hunk's never moved.

"I am sorry about your new sports car, but the good thing is you are unharmed." One of the girls said to Nicholai. Nicholai had given her a ride before, so she knew about his fancy new sports car.

Nicholai used to be in Russian army, and later a mercenary for Umbrella, because of his talent he became one of the supervisors. And he was an assassin and killer! He was experienced in many things. Now looking at Hunk's face, he was 90 percent sure this man did not look like who just tried to kill someone.

"Tell you what, Nicholai. You know this was coming all along. Someone like you must have a million enemies. It is amazing you are still alive." Hunk laughed at him "Unfortunately your new sports car did not survive nearly as long"

"Fuck you!" Nicholai put away his pistol and turned around to exit the bar

Two police cars were coming. Nicholai did not like to have unwanted attention from the cops, there were too much in stake to become cops' attention hot spot right now. So he quickly left the bar on foot.

Back inside the bar,

"I haven't met him in six years. It is amazing this guy is still alive. After all the things he had done." Hunk told his men "Whoever planted the bomb is a dumb chicken! If I want to kill him, I would just break his neck, or shoot him between eyes. It would be a lot more efficient."

The girls around him all thought Hunk was just kidding, and they all laughed. It made them fear less about the bombing which just took place outside in the parking lot.

As Nicholai walked along the 5th street in the dark night, it is awfully quiet. It was the main street of this town. Both sides of the road were filled with shops and other commercial buildings. But it was already after 10pm, all shops were closed. There were very few cars. And nobody was walking but him.

"I was attacked at Zion!" Nicholai took out a cell phone and spoke "Someone almost got me with a car bomb! By the way, Hunk is here too."

"No! No! I am sure of it." Nicholai continued to say on the phone "Send someone to come get me. I am walking along the 5th street toward north. I need a ride."

As Nicholai walked in the darkness on the 5th street alone, he heard something from behind. He turned around to check it out, and there were two men in black jackets about 30 meters behind him. One of them was smoking and holding a cell phone beside his face, the other one was holding a beer bottle. They looked like just two ordinary street punks by the way they act.

"Go away. If you want to rob someone, you picked the wrong guy." Nicholai thought as one of his hands let go of the pistol in the pocket. "I don't even need a gun to mess up you punks."

For another 15 minutes, the two men behind Nicholai kept the distance. Until a black van coming from behind with unusual slow speed. The main street had a speed limit of 45mph, the van was driving at most 20mph while there was not a single other car around. As the van slowly catching up Nicholai from far end of the road, the two men behind him had increased their paces which closed in the distance too. Nicholai noticed every change and everything. He quietly put his right hand back onto the pistol in the pocket. From the footsteps behind him, he was sure the two men were now within less than 15 meters.

By the time Nicholai walked passing the entrance of a long dark alley where there was a big metal trash bin, the van was about 50 meters behind him, with the two men closed to about just 10 meters.

At that moment, suddenly Nicholai heard a sound of broken glasses from behind him. And he turned around…
