I'm the main character in Resident Evil

What puzzled Javier even more was how these bats came from... and how they gathered all of a sudden. If there was no mastermind behind this, Javier himself would definitely not believe it.

After all, bats are not stupid creatures like zombies and plague reptiles. They can think and have their own communication system. This kind of infected body that can unite and divide labor like bees and ants is undoubtedly the most troublesome type!

"Clang-!"

"Rebecca, Billy, are you okay? Where did all these bats come from?"

He kicked open the door of the study.

Javier ran out of the priest's study and looked at the densely packed black mass of infected bats on the ceiling of the church. His face changed involuntarily and he asked with an extremely shocked expression,

Javier thought there would be a lot of bats, but he didn't expect so many. He thought there would be only 20 or 30, but there were 70 or 80, or even nearly a hundred. This number... was enough to eat the three of them alive.

If it wasn't the script for Resident Evil,

Javier couldn't help but wonder if he had entered the world of vampires. How could there be so many bats, and so many of them concentrated together!

“Bang—bang—bang—bang—!!!!”

"I don't know. God knows how there are so many bats all of a sudden. They were fine just now, but suddenly there was a strange noise, and all these densely packed bats swarmed in!"

"Javier, be careful, these bats are infected. If you get bitten... the consequences will be disastrous!"

There were bursts of gunfire.

Sparks flew in the church,

Rebecca and Billy answered with the same embarrassment.

The bullets quickly hit the black bats flapping in the air. They fell down quickly like demons with broken wings. They fell to the ground and struggled for a few times before they stopped moving. It turned out that these bats wanted to rush over and take the opportunity to bite off the flesh of Rebecca and Billy Cohen.

But they didn't expect the two men's firepower to be so strong. The 9mm police gun magazines were quickly emptied, and each of them fired a shotgun quickly. The sudden and powerful firepower attack caught the bats off guard.

Seeing large numbers of their fellow tribesmen falling, these bats became a little frustrated and suddenly lost the desire to attack. They all flew around in the air, trying to see which of their fellow tribesmen would be the first to take the lead and organize the next attack!

But unfortunately,

Once a species has the ability to think and communicate, it is generally very cunning. None of the bats want to be the scapegoat and continue to eat peanuts, so they can only hover in the air hesitantly, not daring to attack for a while!

After all, think back,

In addition to insects like ants and bees, mammals that hunt in groups, such as wolves, hyenas, mice, and even monkeys, are all cunning and clever, including bats. They will not be foolish enough to sacrifice themselves.

Moreover……

Right now,

Their real "leader" has not arrived yet. As subordinates of the tribe, they will not easily obey the other party's orders -!

And on the other side-

Javier looked at the bats that were reluctant to attack and realized how cunning and cowardly these animals were. He quickly scanned the church and came up with a plan. He said loudly,

"..."

"Rebecca, Billy, there is a study behind me. There is also a priest's study in the church. We can use the study as a fortress. You all hide inside, block the cracks in the windows, and then throw out all the books in the church and burn them. Use the flames to block their attack!"

Yes,

This is Javier's way.

He just remembered that there was a study room in the church where they could hide. Staying in the center of the prayer hall was too passive. They might be attacked by bats from all directions. Therefore, they needed a retreat. There was no doubt that the study room in the church was the last retreat.

This retreat route will not be attacked by bats.

They won't be attacked from both sides. As long as they hide with their backs against the study, they can slowly drive away the bats with fire and pistol bullets!

After all, these bats are not particularly aggressive compared to zombie plague crawlers. The only problem is that there are enough of them and they are hard to guard against. If they can be stuffed into a cage and beaten slowly, these mutant bats are actually no different from ordinary bats...

After hearing what Javier said,

Rebecca and Billy's eyes lit up.

They ran to the church's study while shooting. The windows in the study were likely to be broken by the bats, so Rebecca and Billy quickly blocked the windows with desks and bookshelves. All the books on the Bible, mythology and other stories piled on the windows were taken out and thrown at the door of the study. Billy took a lighter and started burning them!

"Pfft..."

A faint flame burned up——

The moment it touched the paper, it quickly began to spread. The fire became more and more intense, the smoke billowed, and the temperature of the church slowly began to rise. This seemed to be a stupid way to block the way out. It was stupid to burn the fire at the door of the study and trap the only exit.

But in fact,

This is a double-edged sword.

Piling the flames at the only exit was not so much a way to seek death as Javier preferred to call it burning his boats and breaking his cauldrons. The story of Xiang Yu, the overlord, burning his boats and fighting a desperate battle was not unknown. He blocked the door with flames, which blocked his own way out and also blocked the bats' attack. It was just a matter of seeing who could make better use of it.

If you use it well, it's like fighting a desperate battle. If you lose, it's stupid...

"..."

“Chichi…Chichi…!!!”

As expected,

After a large amount of flames started burning at the door of the study,

The rising temperature, coupled with the invasion of flames and thick smoke, caused the group of bats on the top of the church to be in trouble. They fluttered in the air, unwilling to come down, and even did not want to get close. Some bats were even frightened by the thick smoke, and they kicked their thin legs, rolled their eyes, and fell to the ground with a "thump", seemingly fainting.

After all, this is the smoke of fire,

The most dangerous gases in fires include harmful substances such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. In most fires, the victims trapped in the fire fainted due to excessive smoke inhalation, and very few people died from being burned by flames.

Therefore, the thick smoke from the burning of these books is actually the most powerful weapon. Some people in the wild often use smoke to fumigate gophers, bees, etc., which is very effective. Even if these bats are infected, they cannot be immune to the harm of the thick smoke!

They began to fall to the ground one by one——!

Seeing this, Javier's face lit up.

He was wearing a gas mask, so he wouldn't fall to the ground like the bats after inhaling a lot of smoke. In order to prevent the bats from dying, Javier picked up the unburned fire books and smashed them on the unconscious bats on the ground.

The flames touched the furry skin and quickly burned it. The originally unconscious bat woke up in pain and struggled hard on the ground, but to no avail, and soon died again!

"Puff...Puff..."

Throughout the sacred church,

It completely turned into a vast sea of ​​fire.

It was extremely spectacular, and it was similar to the burning of Joan of Arc by the ignorant people and the cowardly king. The flames were blazing and fervent, burning the black filth in the church. As for those church Bible books that were considered classics, Javier didn't care.

Things like books,

It was meant to be used...

It’s just that the methods used now are different, but it doesn’t matter. If these Bible books can be used to save a few lives, I’m afraid our merciful Lord will not blame these lost lambs!

After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

What's more, it's three lives per person, and it's a climax. Our Lord should be willing to accept this merit. At the very least... Javier can spend a few dollars to go to the bookstore to copy a few Bibles and promote the benefits of believing in Christianity to the children in our orphanage!

"..."

"pat...pat..."

More and more bats could not stand the thick smoke brought by the fire, but they did not dare to bite Javier because he was wearing protective gear and was protected by the fire. As time went by... after struggling, the bats finally could not resist Javier wearing a gas mask, and fell to the ground one by one from mid-air.

Some clever and cunning bats,

They quickly flapped their wings and flew outside the church to breathe fresh air. They were not stupid. If they continued to pester us, they would be completely wiped out.

Looking at this situation,

Javier also sighed that it was a pity, but it didn't matter... because there were already fifty or sixty bats dead in the church, and the remaining twenty or thirty were not a big deal. They were not threatening at all, so he could just run away!

but,

Having said that,

But Javier seems to have forgotten one thing, that is the church scene. It is a boss battle. This group of bats cannot be called the boss. The real boss has just arrived, and the real battle has just begun!

"hiss------!!!"

“Chichi…chichi…chichi…”

Right now,

Just when Javier and the other two were about to let down their guard,

Just when they thought everything was fine, a sharp and piercing scream suddenly came from the sky above the church, causing Javier and the other two to cover their ears. This sound was completely different from the low roars of the zombie monsters before.

This piercing scream was so penetrating that it seemed as if it was about to pierce through the eardrum. If I had to say... it was actually a sonic attack!

Could it be——

Could it be that even larger bats have arrived at the church?

Chapter 42: Fire Magic

Just listen to this harsh sound wave——

You will understand.

Giant mutant bats...are coming!

“Roar, roar, roar——!!!!”

The terrifying sound waves were so penetrating that Javier and the other two who were hiding in the church felt a sharp pain in their eardrums. They couldn't help but cover their ears with their hands, looking extremely embarrassed.

This is the first time I have encountered such a magical attack.

It's an attack that completely ignores any defense.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..."

Even more incredible,

After this harsh sound wave,

Dozens of mutant bats surviving outside the church suddenly became agitated, as if they were under some kind of violent buff, and they also screamed and hissed in response. Their fluttering black wings were as annoying as mosquitoes.

"and many more……"

"No, Rebecca, Billy! The two of you should hide in the study. This sound wave is not only aggressive, but it should also be the cry that bats use to call their companions for help. Damn... what kind of big guy has come again?"

His face changed.

While marveling at the penetrating power of the sound waves, Javier also instantly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly spoke loudly to remind Rebecca and Billy Cohen who were standing at the door of the study, "Yes... it's a big guy. A bat that can emit such a harsh sound wave must be a big guy!"

And it's just the sound,

It can make the surrounding small bats so agitated. It is undoubtedly a lord-level creature. These mutant bats are all under the command of this big guy. Although Javier does not know how many bats live in the Arklay Mountains, there are at least tens of thousands of them.

therefore……

Javier couldn't even imagine it.

If the big guys outside could call upon all the bats in the Arklay Mountains, it would be unimaginable how terrifying it would be to see a swarm of bats attacking them.

I'm afraid even if I stay in the church,

Those tens of thousands of bats all crashed into the church like bombers at once, probably destroying all the walls of the church!

Therefore,

Javier then hurriedly reminded Rebecca and Billy Cohen to hide quickly. He could only pray that the big guy outside could not summon bats from the entire Arklay Mountains, and could only summon some infected bats from the research institute.

If that's the case,

At least there is still a chance to fight——!

"What……?"

"Javier, you think the guy outside can summon more bats? Damn it... Is this still the real world?!"

Listen to Javier's words,

Rebecca and Billy Cohen's faces also changed, and they said in shock, what kind of joke is this, summoning bat servants at will, Count Dracula? Movies reflect life? Or art comes from life?

"boom----!"

however,

Just when Javier was about to say something,

A loud noise suddenly interrupted the three people's thoughts, causing Javier and the other two to look up at the ceiling of the church above their heads.
