The bulging, twisted flesh beneath the skin stretched out in a grotesque, almost ripping grin!
"Fine! You're asking for it!"
As the roar exploded, the holster on his waist emitted a sharp "ripping" sound, as if the leather was being forcibly torn apart!
"Zheng!"
The pure prismatic sharpness that cut through the pale white searchlight had already materialized in front of Li Pu!
Queen Emma was completely transformed into a human-shaped diamond barrier.
The next second, Tifa's fist suddenly stopped half an inch in front of the bearded man's nose!
The violent shockwave from the punch struck the officer's face like an invisible giant hand!
His entire fleshy, bulging face rippled and twisted violently like waves, his gums were exposed, and his facial features were almost squeezed out of place!
The hand that was about to draw the gun froze halfway, unable to even grip the handle properly!
Young Li Pu crossed his arms and smugly sniffed.
The three of us are absolutely amazing!!!
They showed absolutely no shame for being a kept man.
Behind the bearded man, one of his "colleagues" also pressed a gun against the back of his head.
“Sir, there’s no need for you to argue with a child.” The speaker was Ada Wong, whose delicate body was wrapped in a coat.
Beside her, Black Lily was wrapped in the same long coat, only revealing the edge of her dark purple latex suit collar that tightly hugged her jade-like neck.
She coldly scrutinized the boy, seemingly with the scrutiny of someone assessing their prey.
"You! You all—!" The bearded man's roar was distorted as the gun barrel pressed firmly against his neck.
He's just a rat in the gutter, yet he dares to defy him, an eighth-tier operator!
They deserve to die!
He was almost about to pull the trigger!
"Fuck you, you filthy rat! You're an eighth-rank official—wait, what?!"
Suddenly,
A cold, emotionless gaze swept over from inside the helicopter command cockpit.
He could only swallow back the foul, pungent smell mixed with humiliation!
Anyway, I'm the supervisor, so I'll have plenty of time to make trouble for this brat during tonight's trial!
After this minor incident, only a few of the cannon fodder on the helicopter looked at Lip and Tifa with new respect.
This was ostensibly a test, but in reality, it was a recruitment drive.
Most of them were involuntarily imprisoned, and some were even death row inmates.
Those who volunteered to participate in the trial had all died in the previous round of the hotel trial...
No one urged Lip and Tifa to board the helicopter. Judging from Tifa and the White Queen's "loyal" reaction, some officials on the helicopter suspected that he was hiding his strength to fish, and for a while they couldn't figure out his true capabilities.
The two men picked up their backpacks and headed toward the helicopter.
Thanks to the White Queen's thorough preparations for him and Tifa, all the equipment and supplies were already neatly packed into tactical backpacks by her and Tifa when they bought them on the black market.
The wind whipped up by the helicopter rotor lashed his cheeks as Lip's hand touched the cold edge of the cabin door—
"Wait a minute," the White Queen called out to him from behind.
She stepped forward, ignoring the roar of the rotors and the impatient stares of everyone on board the helicopter.
Finally, she wanted to have an American-style farewell ceremony for a mother and child.
A farewell kiss.
From a young age, she was taught that mothers must kiss each other and say "I love you" before going to work or children go to school.
The adorable boy in front of her was one of only two mutants in this messed-up world besides her, and her only child!
"I love you." It carries an almost girlish, unyielding stubbornness.
The next instant, crystal blue lips, carrying the cool scent of glacial roses, pressed against the boy's forehead without warning!
"..." The White Queen's crystalline blue lips, still damp with the silver threads that had been drawn out during their separation, sprayed hot breath onto Li Pu's lips.
Her fingertips gripped his chin almost forcefully, the pressure sinking deep into the soft flesh of the boy's cheek.
"It's your turn. Go ahead and say it."
The low, husky voice, imbued with an undeniable magnetism, scratched deep within his ear canal:
"--you love me."
This Western-style goodbye kiss from the Western woman... is still too open for Little Marip.
The thought that the people in the helicopter might be watching made him feel a little embarrassed.
The voluptuous, mature woman's fingertips rubbed heavily against his burning cheeks. Her voice softened, but a deeper, more intense possessiveness settled in her crystal-blue eyes.
"explain…"
Seeing that the young man in front of him was still hesitating.
Her girlish capriciousness gradually tore away the White Queen's strong mask.
Her lips, like discarded berries, trembled and pouted in grievance.
"Say you love your mom."
Li Pu couldn't refuse any longer, so he blurted out:
"I...I love you..."
Before he finished speaking——
On that face, which was full of mature charm, a sweet smile, like a young girl tasting honey for the first time, suddenly bloomed.
A shimmering starlight sparkled in her crystal-blue eyes, and her lips pouted slightly in satisfaction, instantly washing away all her cold aura, making her look like a spoiled and adorable young girl.
"That's more like it!" What followed was another flurry of passionate kisses...
And behind him—
Tifa's fingertips unconsciously pressed against her slightly parted red lips as she gazed ahead. Her lips and tongue inadvertently kissed the boy's lips, and at the point of separation, the lingering silver threads of saliva were still visible. She silently swallowed a drop of saliva.
I've never kissed a man in my entire life. If I were to die this time, it would feel like a huge loss...
When Lip turned around, Tifa hurriedly hid the hand pressing her lips behind her back, and the two stepped into the cold, metallic light of the cabin one after the other.
The troop transport helicopter's interior was surprisingly spacious, filled with the smell of rust and engine oil. He had just sat down on a cold metal bench when a small, nimble figure darted over.
"Big brother!" A little girl, about seven or eight years old, with two braids, approached Li Pu with her clear, big eyes. Her little dress was covered in dust and had tiny holes. Her small, dirty hands boldly grabbed the hem of his clothes. Her face was covered in soot, but it couldn't hide her curiosity.
"The auntie who kissed you just now, that was your mom, right?" She stood on tiptoe, her voice sweet and clear, tilting her head and smiling to reveal a gap in her teeth. "My mom... when she was still alive, she used to kiss me like that too, 'smack!' Hehe~"
Li Pu was speechless for a moment at the child's straightforward words. He could only awkwardly twitch the corners of his mouth and gently rub her messy hair.
He vaguely felt that the girl looked somewhat familiar.
"……Um."
They're even sending children to be cannon fodder?
Oh, it seems I am one too. Oh well, never mind...
The bearded man snorted and muttered to himself, "Two pieces of unrecyclable trash."
The next moment, a cool yet gentle voice rang out, “Don’t run around, come here.” Li Pu looked up at the sound and froze instantly.
He knew the person who came all too well!
Her snow-white, neck-length short hair fell neatly down, and what covered most of her face was a black lace eye mask, through which only a sliver of icy blue, inhuman light shone through the gaps.
The iconic gothic maid outfit's sleeves peek out from under the trench coat.
2B Miss?
"We're about to take off, danger." The voice was calm and even, the eyes fixed precisely on the little girl, as if the child was the only human being in his eyes.
"I know~" the little girl replied in a drawn-out tone, slowly and reluctantly letting go of Li Pu's clothes. She didn't skip away like before; her eyes gradually dimmed, and her steps seemed a little unsteady.
"2B, I miss my mom..."
“Mom…” she called out softly, habitually, before mustering all her strength to straighten her small chest and say, “As long as we… as long as we can win this game, Eagle City… Eagle City will come to help save the base, right? Mom… and everyone else…”
"Hmm." 2B's reply was completely flat, like a cold machine reading. "Based on the current variable analysis, the probability that Eagle City will listen to and adopt this suggestion is 1%."
The little girl's thin body tensed up suddenly. She didn't cry, but bit her lower lip hard, her slightly trembling little hands clenched into fists, tightly.
"No, no!" she almost growled, her voice choked with suppressed sobs and a heartbreaking stubbornness. "When Mom was alive, she said... there was only 'success' and 'failure'! So... so it's 50%! I can do it! I must... do it!"
"..."
"You two, get into your seats and fasten your seatbelts as soon as possible." A cold, helpless sigh came from the front of the cabin.
Their commissar, Ada Wong, inadvertently glanced at Lip and gave him a polite smile.
Another familiar face! Ada Wong?!
at this time--
A unique, rich fragrance, a blend of cool violet and gunpowder, silently approaches.
Wearing a dark long coat, Black Lily, like an elegant shadow, precisely took her seat in the only empty seat next to him.
The cold leather seats emitted a slight creaking sound.
“Lipu and Tifa, right? Nice to meet you.” Her gaze briefly swept over Tifa before finally settling on Lipu. “I am your supervisor for this ‘Ninth-Order Trial’—Widowmaker.”
what?
No!
BYD, is the 3D section really holding a big meeting here?!

Chapter Twenty-Two: Ada Wong's Soft Heart
After the helicopter took off, the White Queen's figure grew smaller and smaller on the ground.
Sitting on one side of the open hatch, Lip and Tifa could only hear the loud "putt-putt-putt" of the propellers.
With its double-hump design, the cabin of this transport helicopter is not crowded; not even all the seats are occupied, making it relatively quiet.
Black Lily stared at the wet, still-dry blue lipstick marks on the cute boy's face beside her, and remained silent for a long while.
“Let me state this first,” she raised an extremely subtle eyebrow, “Minors? There’s no special treatment for you here.”
His eyes swept coldly across the other end of the cabin—
Ada Wong, being dragged by a little girl to "study" her expensive leather black gloves, had her chest heaving noticeably beneath her scarlet high-necked dress. She was putting on a stiff and ridiculous "pretending to be asleep" pose with a stern face.
In response, Black Lily let out a barely audible snort: "Unlike some soft-hearted short-haired fellow."
Once Ada Wong opens her eyes, she has no choice but to teach this little girl who dared to offend the overseer a lesson in order to carry out her infiltration mission.
The supervisors and examiners wouldn't treat the "rat" being tested as a human being, and the two of them couldn't be too different.
Li Pu smiled slightly; he wasn't surprised by Ada Wong's actions.
Aunt Wang is a bad woman, but not completely bad.
In the official Resident Evil novels, the death of the girl in the police station haunts her.
