Umbrella, The Light of Humanity

The first floor of the mall.

The lack of electricity makes it extremely dark here, but this is not a problem for Joel and the police officers who have holographic glasses.

Although the visual aid system of police holographic glasses is not as good as military ones, it can at least allow the police officers to see the situation clearly.

As for the Lyon model, it has motion capture and other functions. It is an internal use model that Umbrella does not sell, so the field of vision is clearer.

Because of this, Lyon could clearly see a large number of unknown symbols painted in dark red marks on the glass windows of the stores inside the mall.

Rust-like stench, the paint representing these graffiti symbols is blood. Human blood.

Joel and the rest of the officers couldn't see, but they could smell.

This made everyone understand that the words "will not harm the hostages" that the believers said before were completely fooling the local police in Ojai.

A group of people passed through the side entrance on the east side of the mall and came to the center of the mall, divided into four teams, covering each other and heading towards the escalator that had stopped working.

"For the head to come!"

"Hell! Meet hell!"

"Kill all humans who dare to stop!"

Suddenly, a group of yelling believers holding 5.56mm or .308 caliber firearms rushed into everyone's field of vision.

These guys are wearing thin clothes, and everyone has strong muscles that can hold up the clothes, and their skin tends to be the color of red clay.

What surprised the police most was that the eyes of the believers were still emitting a faint red light.

What are these? !

The police officers who were originally dealing with criminals were all shocked and surprised when they saw phenomena far beyond their comprehension through the holographic glasses, even Joel.

Leon, who was used to seeing abnormalities, was not affected in any way.

"They're not human anymore!"

While reminding the police officers loudly, Leon used the holographic glasses to calibrate the shooting, and after locking the muzzle of the gun on one of the believers, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang!" The unique gunshots rang out.

"Pfft! Pfft!" The warhead shot at the believer immediately.

If ordinary humans were attacked by MA5D, they would have died long ago.

However, the believer stubbornly resisted several shots, and when his left eye was shot, he wanted to find a cover to avoid it, but in the end he couldn't bear the blow and collapsed to the ground, his body couldn't stop twitching.

? !

The believers did not expect that this group of police officers had "night vision goggles", so they stopped shouting and immediately evaded.

Simultaneously when the above-mentioned moment occurs.

Joel and the police officers were also relieved, and as police officers near Los Angeles, they naturally would not abide by the principle that only the suspects attack first before they can counterattack and subdue.

After seeing Leon shooting and attacking, and seeing that the physique of the believers was far superior to ordinary people, they began to cooperate with each other, using their rich experience and advanced equipment and weapons to assist Leon to deal with the believers who were obviously abnormal.

"Crack!"

"Bang bang!"

In an instant, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation.

The floor tiles, walls and shop windows of the shopping mall were all damaged by the exchange of fire between the two sides, and the scene became a mess.

Soon, the situation became clear.

There were seven believers who came to stop Lyon and the police, and one of them was dealt with by Lyon first. There was no advantage in numbers, and the same was true for weapons and equipment.

MA5D also uses 5.56mm FMJ bullets with a magazine capacity of 45. Its electronic components cooperate with the auxiliary calibration system, so that police officers can form absolute firepower suppression.

The police officers in the small town of Ojai were suppressed by the fully automatic firepower of the believers and a light machine gun. The main reason was that the equipment and firepower could not keep up.

Leon's combat literacy aside, Joel and Oxnard's police officers, although far less elite than the Green Berets or Rangers, are not comparable to "gun-wielding civilians" like the Christians.

In the short firefight of less than half a minute, Lyon and the police slowly advanced, and continued to steadily approach the end of the escalator.

When he was about to pass by the corpses of the seven believers, Leon reminded: "Don't forget to give these guys extra guns."

"Boom! Boom!"

As he spoke, Leon pulled the trigger twice on the head and left chest of one of the believer's corpses.

"Boom! Boom!" Joel immediately fired.

A group of police officers shrugged each other and fired at the corpses.

passing corpses.

Approach the escalator.

The guy driving the pickup, Leon, and two other colleagues took the lead on the escalator and approached the second floor of the mall.

As they moved forward, everyone could clearly hear the gunshots from the second and upper floors, indicating that the police officers on the south side of the mall were still standing firm, sharing a lot of pressure for Lyon and the others.

Come to the platform hall on the second floor.

Lyon and the other three police officers found that there were several bunches of burning torches on the second floor to provide lighting, and not only the shop windows, but also densely packed bloodstained runes were painted on the floor.

The runes also glow red.

Seeing this, the three police officers who went ahead with Leon improved their ability to accept abnormalities a lot, and did not show too much confusion or hesitation.

Joel and the rest of the police officers passed the escalator, joined the four of Leon and continued on their way, but they didn't go far when a large number of believers counterattacked.

Fierce battle broke out again.

The believers whose bodies have mutated have realized that the well-equipped police officers such as Leon and Joel are the real threat to hinder them.

"The ceremony was disrupted by these humans! Destroy them!!"

"We can't let them prevent the arrival of the leader!!"

"Go to hell! Human! Go to hell!"

Abandoning their human identities, they yelled frantically and rushed towards the police officers without fear.

"Shhhhhhh!"

"what!"

Half squatting not far from Lyon, that is, the guy driving the pickup truck, his left forearm suddenly snapped and screamed in pain, and he immediately lost his ability to move and fight and lay down on the ground.

It is not 5.56mm, 7.62mm or .308 Winchester bullets in the hands of believers, and a shot is unbearable to the human body.

"Police shot!"

"Drag Hans away! Quick!"

Seeing this, the two colleagues hurried forward and dragged the shot guy away from the open area to the bathroom entrance on the right.

Leon also rushed over to check the guy's injuries.

There was only a small piece of skin left on the broken arm, connecting the left hand that was about to fall off and half of the left forearm, and the blood was spraying out unstoppably.

But with a sound of "Paji!", Erpi couldn't hold on in this section, causing his left hand and half of his left forearm to fall completely.

"Grass... it really hurts... New here, you have to pay me for an arm..."

The guy who was shot glanced at the severed limb, and teased weakly with white lips.

"Hold on." Leon took out the bio-foam with a solemn expression, and while performing hemostasis treatment, he also assured in a deep voice:

"I'll pay you back, don't worry."
