Chapter 179: Please Do Not Question the Strength of a Rogue Trader

~7 min read 1,252 words

The members of the STARS squad, although they were elites.

But... after witnessing Arno, who could rub the biochemical monster that was hunting her on the ground with his bare hands, Jill quickly recognized the reality.

When people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads.

Also don't know if the United States' short two-hundred-year history has such a saying, but in short, Jill obediently accepted the "invitation."

The two went out from the broken apartment.

Arno brought Jill to a coffee shop that had been looted on the other side of the street and met the "sir."

"You... you are the 'sir'?!"

Seeing the person who was respectfully called "sir" by Arno was actually a handsome young man with a noble temperament and a standard Asian face, a trace of shock flashed in Jill's beautiful pupils.

"Why, very surprised?"

Alvin sat on the chair, his leisurely temperament making people suspect whether he was here for a vacation.

He was also observing the former game "goddess."

From the appearance, Jill wasn't actually that outstanding, but she had a very attractive point, which was the spirited and capable temperament, especially the military career atmosphere tempered from STARS, which added a few points of charm to her.

Of course, the real Jill was slightly different from the game. She wore a sleeveless gray top, could clearly see the traces of training, and wasn't the look of thin arms and thin legs.

Shoulder-length short hair, three-dimensional features, eyes with spirit, hiding a trace of vigilance, even in a sitting posture, she still maintained the preparation to pull the gun and shoot at any time.

"Sir, your coffee."

Arno brought a cup of brewed coffee, placed it within Alvin's reach, then took a few steps back and kept silent, like a statue.

"Do you want a cup of coffee, Ms. Jill?"

Seeing Jill's gaze falling on the coffee, Alvin asked casually and snapped his fingers: "Arno, brew a cup of coffee for Ms. Jill."

"Yes, sir."

The cold-faced Arno looked at Jill and went to prepare the coffee.

"No, no, I'm not thirsty, thank you." Jill hurriedly stopped him. She didn't dare to let Arno brew coffee.

Not long ago, this grandfather almost hammered the monster sent by Umbrella to death. That scene... was too brutal!

"Your injury, it looks like it's a bit serious." Alvin noticed the injury Jill suffered when she was thrown away by Nemesis and asked with a gentle tone: "If you need it, I can help you heal. If the wound isn't treated, it's very easy to become those ghosts outside."

He naturally knew that Jill's constitution wouldn't be infected, but this was reality. What if she was really infected?

"No need, I can do it myself."

However, Jill didn't care at all, casually took out a green herb from her waist bag, and threw it into her mouth to chew.

"..." Looking at this scene, Alvin was greatly shocked, and the corners of his eyes twitched somewhat.

Although he had guessed it long ago, the "healing" green herb in the game suddenly appearing in reality was still somewhat magical.

"Hmm?" Finding that Alvin's expression seemed different, Jill immediately guessed his thoughts and explained: "This isn't any witchcraft. The four-color herb is a kind of medicinal herb discovered by Umbrella, which has the function of coagulation and hemostasis. Through different formula combinations, it also has different effects."

"Cough cough, sorry, I suddenly thought of other things."

Alvin coughed twice, but his attention was on the medicinal herbs. He was considering the value of this thing.

If it really had the "game" level of significant effect, the value of the four-color herb was estimated to be raised a few levels again.

"What exactly do you want to see me for?"

Jill, who had taken the green herb, had the wounds on her skin quickly stop bleeding. She turned to look at Alvin and asked vigilantly.

"Please don't worry, Ms. Jill."

Alvin didn't care, sipped the coffee, looked at Jill, who had a strange face, and then smiled: "I'm not interested in your identity, and I'm not a member of Umbrella. The reason I let Arno bring you to see me is simply because I am very interested in you as a person."

Jill could only believe half of this remark.

Her gaze always held a trace of vigilance. After hesitating for a few seconds, she asked tentatively: "Since you have already seen me, may I leave? Sir."

"So fast?"

Alvin seemed a bit surprised and said: "It's relatively chaotic outside, do you want to stay a while longer?"

"No, thank you very much for your kindness." Jill couldn't believe such a mysterious and extremely weird person.

If possible, she wished she would never meet him again, so she found an excuse: "I have more important things to do, can I go now? Sir."

"Of course, I said it, I don't have any malice toward you, Ms. Jill." Alvin made a gesture of please with a smile, watching Jill, who was preparing to leave, and said slowly with a smile: "By the way, there is one thing... consider it a gift for our first meeting, given to you for free, Ms. Jill."

"What thing?"

Jill, who was about to take a step, paused again upon hearing this sentence, turned her head and looked at him suspiciously.

"If the things you must do in your mouth refer to saving other STARS members, then... it's already unnecessary." Alvin smiled meaningfully and took a sip of his coffee.

"What do you mean by that?!"

Hearing this, Jill's pupils shrank, and she was immediately surrounded by a thick ominous premonition, even forgetting Arno on the side, and wanted to rush up to grab the person's collar and question him.

But unfortunately, her thoughts hadn't had time to be put into action before she was blocked by Arno, who was like an iron tower.

After seeing the height difference between each other, Jill immediately regained her reason: "Sir, can you explain what you meant just now?"

"Sir, what did you mean just now?"

Jill asked anxiously.

"Literal meaning."

Alvin looked up at Jill, who was full of anxiety, and put down his coffee cup slowly: "The biochemical weapon sent by Umbrella to hunt you down is called 'Nemesis.' That kind of thing... you should have seen it before, in the 'Mansion'."

"Is it that kind of virus?!"

Jill recalled the mission they participated in.

The Mansion incident haunted her like a nightmare, and she was often scared awake by the scenes in her dreams.

The virus secretly experimented on by the Umbrella Corporation could actually resurrect the dead and turn them into zombies without reason. Thinking back to it even now, it still made people shudder.

"Not quite the same, but the essence is not much different."

Alvin said slowly: "Nemesis is a biochemical weapon that is easier to control by implanting parasites on the basis of the T-virus."

After saying that, he added another sentence: "Oh, by the way, you still don't know what the 'T-virus' is? It is the source of the Mansion incident and the chaos of the entire Raccoon City."

"Why do you know so much?"

Jill couldn't help but start to suspect the relationship between the other side and Umbrella.

If not, why would he know so much?

Including the virus scattered in Raccoon City, the source of the Mansion incident, and the biochemical weapon that was hunting her just now!
