Chapter 106: Ashes of Evolution
The two of us moved cautiously toward the entrance of the cabin, stepping over scattered debris and ashes of zombie corpses. The metal hatch leading underground slid open with a soft hiss, revealing a dimly lit elevator ascending from the facility below. Faint echoes of movement drifted upward, a haunting prelude to what awaited us.
Ada glanced at the hatch, her expression unreadable but her body tense. "If Isaacs has mutated, this won't be a straightforward mission. He'll be unpredictable—and dangerous."
I pulled my sword from its sheath, the faint blue glow casting eerie reflections on the walls. "Good. I prefer it that way."
Ada smirked faintly, adjusting her sleek outfit with practiced precision trying to seduce me with those sexy thighs that were on full display. She knows what she is doing but I calmed myself for now. Without another word, we stepped onto the elevator and descended into the darkness, everything around us was quiet but my Super senses picked up the faint snarls and distant screams echoing beneath us like a grim symphony.
The air inside was thick with the stench of decay and chemicals, and the oppressive silence was broken only by the low hum of machinery. Occasional flickering fluorescent lights cast ominous shadows along the narrow corridors, and every step seemed to amplify the sense of foreboding.
Ada moved ahead, her silenced pistol drawn and her movements almost otherworldly in their fluidity. I followed close behind, my senses heightened and ready for anything.
"This place is too quiet," Ada murmured, her sharp eyes scanning every corner.
"Not for long," I replied, my enhanced hearing catching faint sounds reverberating from the lower levels—Dr. Isaacs. He wasn't alone.
As if on cue, a lab door hissed open nearby. Ada and I exchanged a glance before stepping inside, weapons at the ready. The lab was in disarray, with shattered glass, blood, and overturned furniture littering the floor. The monitors displayed distorted images, the screens flickering with fractured data logs.
A sudden hum filled the room, and the holographic figure of a young girl materialized before us. Ada tensed, her pistol aimed at the figure, but seeing it was just a hologram she relaxed.
"I am the White Queen," the hologram said, her voice calm and melodic. "You must be Miss Ada sent by Mr. Wesker to take care of Dr. Issacs and you must be Mr....."
Knowing what she was going to address me as, I said, "You can call me Ryan, Ryan Hunter."
Ada lowered her weapon slightly, her brow furrowing. "What's going on here?"
The White Queen turned her gaze toward us, her expression unnervingly serene. "Dr. Isaacs returned to the facility being infected by the evolved zombies that he had bred. The Infection process exceeded the limits of what the current antidote could cure, and the facility's security chief tried to eliminate Dr. Issacs but it was too late. The mutation caused in Dr.Issacs made him invincible in front of the security and so he went on a rampage killing and devouring everyone in the facility.."
"What's your role in all of this?" I asked, my grip tightening on my sword.
"My priority is containment," the hologram replied. "I have sealed all exits and activated defensive measures. However, Dr. Isaacs has overridden several systems. He is currently in the central biogenetics lab on Sublevel 3."
Ada unfazed. "And now he's trying to escape."
The White Queen nodded. "Correct. He is attempting to bypass my containment measures breaking through the defences and fleeing to the surface. If he succeeds, his mutation will spread uncontrollably."
Ada exchanged a quick glance with me. "Sounds like we've got our target."
"Indeed," I said, stepping toward the door. "But that's my job. You just watch the show from here and get ready for your punishment for trying to seduce me before at the elevator." With that, I disappeared from the lab heading straight to the area where mutated Issacs is.
Reaching the sublevel 3 entrance and with White Queen's help who was watching through cameras. The entrance to Sublevel 3 groaned shut behind me, sealing me in the belly of the beast. The air was thick with the acrid stench of chemicals and decay, the walls pulsating faintly with organic growths—a grotesque testament to Isaacs's mutation affecting his surroundings.
"Ryan, I'm monitoring your progress," the White Queen's voice echoed through the chamber, calm yet distant. "Be advised, Dr. Isaacs has fully integrated with the enhanced viral strain. His mutation is unprecedented."
"Good," I replied, gripping the hilt of my sword tighter. "Let's end his evolution."
The ground trembled, the metal floor groaning under immense pressure. I turned toward the source of the disturbance just as a massive figure tore through a reinforced door like it was paper. Isaacs had arrived.
He was a monstrosity, towering over me with grotesquely elongated limbs and sinewy muscles that bulged beneath his mutated flesh. His eyes glowed with a predatory intelligence, and his maw opened to reveal rows of jagged teeth. Yet, amidst the grotesque transformation, his consciousness remained. I could see it in his gaze—the cold, calculating hunger to consume me, to evolve further.
"This is what you wanted, right?" I said, my voice steady as I ignited my sword with blue fire. The flames danced along the blade, casting an ethereal glow across the chamber.
Isaacs roared, his voice a guttural mix of rage and anticipation, and lunged at me with terrifying speed.
I swung my sword twice in quick succession, unleashing two massive arcs of fire that sliced through the air with blinding intensity. The flaming blades roared toward Isaacs, carving through his mutated form like a hot knife through butter. His body jerked violently as the flames engulfed him, and before his remains could collapse to the ground, blue fire erupted across his entire form.
The inferno consumed him, the unnatural flames devouring him completely. His screams of agony and disbelief echoed through the facility, reverberating off the walls like a symphony of his defeat. The grotesque figure writhed in the fire's embrace, his mutations unable to withstand the purifying flames.
In mere moments, Isaacs was reduced to ashes, the remnants of his ambition and monstrosity scattered across the chamber floor. The flames flickered out, leaving only silence and the faint glow of embers in their wake.
White Queen and Ada monitoring the battle were stupefied and shocked with how much ease I had eliminated Issacs and the terrifying level of power in my hands made them scared and also hopeful for humanity's survival.
I sheathed my sword, the faint glow of its flames fading. "Good. Now, I can take care of my personal matters." With that, I teleported back to the sublevel where Ada was and went over to the lab. I arrived behind Ada before she could come out from the shock and grabbed her body with my left hand wrapped around her waist and my right hand squeezed her medium-sized firm boobs.
My actions pulled Ada back to reality causing her to try to fight back against me but I turned her around in my embrace and slapped her ass with my right hand and kissed her lips giving her no chance to talk. The long passionate kiss, my hands playing with her ass, and my dick rubbing on her stomach combined with my own charm and System's Harem Function made Ada succumb to her desires. So under White Queen's guidance, we arrived at living spaces on this floor for us to spend the night there.
I don't how long we were fucking and fell asleep but I was woken up by White Queen as we had some visitors. They were none other than Alice and Rain with a few more of our men who arrived after knowing the situation from Claire and the other survivors who had left for Alaska yesterday.
Alice seems to have become quite strong after completing her evolution. To celebrate her successful evolution I guided her into the facility where 1000 of her clone sisters who were developed by Dr. Issacs for his experiments were sleeping in bubbles as a gift. So In the following month, we rebuilt the facility to optimum condition and all the clones of Alice have also awakened and contributed heavily to the facility's reconstruction.
My team that was surveying the surrounding cities for survivors also rescued the people that were stuck in the Los Angeles prison building that would have come in the next plot of this movie world. Chris Redfield, Luther West, and Angel Ortiz joined our camp. As for the beauty Crystal, she became one of my women. The other useless guys were given some supplies to survive on their own as they are not useful and are backstabbing kind of guys.
With everything in this world set for now except the final battle with Wesker and the original Dr. Alexander Issacs. I decided to leave this world for now as the girls can handle the rest on their own. So I spent one final week with all my women before leaving this world. Everyone in the camp thought I was going to explore other continents.
