Manuela stared at Hilda's body disappearing before her eyes, her eyes blank and she couldn't stop mumbling to herself,

There is no doubt that Manuela still cannot accept the fact that her mother Hilda left without even saying goodbye.

only,

What she didn't realize was,

On her turned back,

The last gift from her mother Hilda was left behind. Two holes were torn in the thin white suspender dress, and Manuela's flawless back was exposed to the air without any hindrance.

But on the shoulder blades on both sides of the spine, there was some skin that did not belong to a human.

There are two wrinkled black folded wings. If you look closely, you can see the pattern of dragonfly wings. That is the last gift that Hilda, her mother, left to Manuela...

Do not,

Some may say it is a curse.

The features that do not belong to humans but to monsters are left on Manuela's back, which is not only ugly but also unsightly. She must bear the name of a monster for the rest of her life. Anyone who sees her will curse her as a monster.

But for Manuela,

This is a talisman.

One day in the future, when Manuela is in danger again, the wings attached to her shoulder blades will instantly unfold.

Just like the warm embrace that mother Hilda gave to Manuela today, taking her high into the sky, away from danger and avoiding all disasters,

therefore,

For Manuela,

This is an irreplaceable gift and the last love...

……

I don’t know how long it took,

Everyone slowly reacted.

Everything, everything seems to be over——

The setting sun has already fallen to the edge of the mountain, and the dim red light is spreading over the land of the Amazon rainforest. If it weren't for the huge corpse ashes left on the ground, and the pure white girl kneeling on the ground crying in the distance,

I'm afraid that no one has reacted yet. This mission event has completely ended.

"It's over..."

Leon threw away the RPG rocket launcher in his hand, looked at everything around him, slowly breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, then he lay down on the ground, took out the satellite communication phone and asked the Colombian government to clean up the mess.

"life……"

"It is an extremely fragile existence."

Krauser, who was standing by, looked at the huge ashes of the V Complex being blown away by the breeze, and Manuela crying in the distance. His usually sharp eyes could not help but droop, and he murmured with great emotion,

He had never experienced this deeply on the battlefield. Until today, Krauser truly realized the greatness of life... and its insignificance and fragility.

"Ta Tata..."

Javier also breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Manuela crying in the distance, he walked up slowly. Regardless of Manuela's low mood, he gently patted Manuela's shoulder with his heavy palm, looked at the setting sun in the sky, and spoke softly in a gentle tone:

"..."

"You have a mother who loves you very much, Manuela!"

"Besides...she has a good ending, right? And the same goes for your father. You lost everything, but you also gained everything. Keep looking forward."

"Your mother placed her hopes for life on you, so next time, don't easily say the word 'I want to die'. Live well with your mother's expectations, this may be the best reward for her!"

Hearing Javier's words,

Manuela's body trembled slightly.

She raised her head and looked at everything in front of her, then she slowly loosened the dust in her palms, letting the breeze blow it away to the horizon. This seemed to represent one thing, that is, Manuela had chosen to let it go.

"I know. Thank you, Mr. Javier, for coming to the Amazon rainforest... and thank you for helping me solve all this. If it weren't for this, I..."

“Javier——!!!”

"Helicopter, the rescue helicopter is coming!"

Just as Manuela was about to say something, Rebecca's voice suddenly came from a distance. This 24-year-old woman still ran over excitedly like a child, shouting loudly with an extremely excited look on her face,

He came over and hugged Javier's waist, interrupting their conversation.

At the same time,

Sure enough, there was a roar of helicopter propellers in the sky. It was the black armed helicopter from before.

During the fight between the three black armed helicopters and the V complex, two of them crashed. Only this one survived and was slowly landing in the direction of Javier and the others.

The strong wind from the propeller made Manuela and Javier's hair flutter. They looked at each other and smiled, the meaning was self-evident.

I have survived the catastrophe. I won't talk about the rest. Let's leave here first...

Only Rebecca looked at Javier and Manuela with suspicion, wondering what words Javier, the scumbag, had lied to Manuela, the ignorant girl.

Chapter 33 So?

“Tatttatttatttatt…!!!”

On the black helicopter,

The pilot was flying the helicopter towards the Colombian government. If nothing went wrong, he would take the latest flight back and arrive in America around tomorrow afternoon.

When I looked at the sunset in the Amazon rainforest outside the helicopter door,

Everyone couldn't help but sigh...

Although the power of the V complex is terrifying,

But in front of the Amazon rainforest, the lungs of the earth, it still seems small and insignificant. In the dense dark green rainforest, the ash wreckage of the V complex is gradually getting smaller. Apart from the billowing black smoke, it is difficult for people to see other specific features.

As the dim sunset shone on everyone, Javier looked at the silent people in the helicopter with different thoughts. Finally, he couldn't help but break the dead silence and asked in a very serious tone:

"All right……"

"Now it's time to get down to business. After all, the mission is over and it's time to divide the spoils. Although it sounds harsh, it's the truth. Since none of you are willing to speak up, I will have to be the bad guy."

"As I said before, Manuela, I came to the Amazon rainforest just to take you away. You are carrying the T-Veronica virus, and it is a highly fused infection. This is a very important discovery."

"So, make your choice! Do you want to go with me and Rebecca, or with Leon and Klausa next to you? Of course, to show my sincerity, I will tell you who I am."

"First is Rebecca. She is a medical biological researcher and a pharmaceutical expert. She is currently working on virus research for the US government and is determined to develop a serum to fight biological and chemical viruses. She and I were once partners in the STARS team, so we have a very good relationship."

"As for me, I am a mercenary with obvious profit motives. Of course, I don't work for anyone else, but for myself. My purpose is also to study biochemical viruses, but I have never conducted human experiments, so you can rest assured."

"I have several infected people with similar conditions as you. You are all suffering from the same disease. You may find some common topics to talk about together."

"As for why I want to take you away, the purpose is very simple. I lack highly fused infected samples and need your help to provide blood for research. In addition, I want you to serve as a helper."

"After all, I still need to work tirelessly to find other infected people like you in the world for research, and at the same time, I can save lives."

"Manuela, since you once said that you felt guilty for killing more than 50 girls, why don't you join me in saving more people? Since you killed more than 50 girls, then saving more than 100 girls may make you feel better."

"In addition, the most important point is that the T-Veronica virus in your body is very unstable. Although I don't know what method your mother Hilda used to temporarily stabilize the virus in your body,"

"But there is still a possibility of relapse, and I have a special method that can help you recover. Don't worry... It's not the kind that will kill you, and this is probably my entire purpose."

Looking at Manuela in front of me,

Javier told all his thoughts to Leon, Klausa, and Rebecca without reservation.

These were all unimportant to Javier. After all, when dealing with such a pure and kind girl, it was best to be honest from the beginning.

If you cheat...

Although it is feasible, if it is discovered,

Then Manuela will never trust Javier again, so Javier's words are honest -

"Cough cough..."

"Of course, after introducing myself, it's time to introduce the two guests beside me, Leon and Klausa. They are serious government personnel, specially sent by the US government to investigate the incident of your father Hidalgo and the Amazon rainforest biochemical virus."

"As an official, if you choose them, then congratulations, you will receive very strict and safe protection. After all, the US government cherishes a hard-earned T-Veronica virus infected person very much."

"You don't have to worry about safety, food, or accommodation. You can live a very comfortable and enjoyable life."

"But... as a price, you also need to assist the US government in virus research, which is to extract cells and blood and the like, which is similar to what I do."

"And when you suddenly have a recurrence of heart failure, their treatment method will probably be similar to your father's. They will help you with an organ transplant. The only thing is that you can rest assured that their hearts are from safe sources and are donated voluntarily. You don't have to worry about guilt at all."

"I think what I said is correct, Leon, Klausa...?"

With a smile on his face, Javier suddenly said to Leon and Klausa in a light tone, but the smile on his face made people feel a little chilly -

no doubt,

What Javier just said is correct.

But Leon felt it was a bit strange. He didn't want Manuela to think that the US government was not a good thing.

At the same time, she didn't want Javier to easily kidnap Manuela, because Javier's purpose was too vague.

Leon began to doubt whether Javier was still as righteous as he had been in Raccoon City.

therefore,

"It's almost..."

"But Manuela, the US government is not as bad as you think. At least it can ensure your safety, and the US government is an official organization. You can live there legitimately, and no one will discriminate against you for being infected."

Trying to refute,

Leon is trying to restore the image of the US government, even though he hates it because it is full of corrupt politicians who use their power to manipulate everything.

But there are also some righteous people who sincerely serve the people and the country, so Leon cannot kill everyone with one stick.

"Yeah……?"

"It sounds like it's no different from my previous life, just like a canary kept in a cage, well-fed and well-clothed, but never able to step out of the cage, and even being played with by people."

"I think... maybe there's no need to think about it at all, Mr. Javier. I'm willing to leave with you. What you just said is very correct. I do need to atone for my actions, so if I can save more people, then I'm willing to use my power."

without hesitation,

Manuela chose to follow Javier. This was Manuela's trust in her intuition. Manuela could clearly feel that although Javier had clear interests, he was the most sincere one.

And Manuela hates the government—

Manuela has a very bad impression of both the US government and the Colombian government.

Colombia, Brazil, and even South America are all underdeveloped due to the government's inaction and the huge class gap between the rich and the poor. There is a serious wealth gap, violence and panic everywhere, and drugs were born under such circumstances.

therefore,

Manuela has no good feelings towards the government.

The government has always been a tool to serve the rich and powerful, so Manuela believes that it is much better to follow Javier and gain freedom than to follow the government as a canary.

"Manuela..."

"Okay, I understand. I respect your choice..."

And in the end,

Seeing Manuela decisively choose Javier, Leon couldn't help but sigh deeply, but still agreed to Manuela's willful choice.

After all, he actually had no better solution. The reason why he repeatedly obstructed it was because he was worried that Javier might have ulterior motives.

but now,

Don't worry,

It seemed that nothing could be done. The silly girl was determined to follow Javier, the old fox, and Leon was powerless to stop her.

"OK!"

"Very good, your choice is very smart, Miss Manuela, I won't let you down. Besides, Mr. is too formal, just call me Javier, I am a casual person."
