Havel suddenly opened his arms and shouted at them, "Are you ready to face death?"

Then, before Shen Ye and the others could speak, the giant plant behind it bent down and swallowed it whole.

"This is..." Leon and Krauser were both stunned, staring blankly at the plant that had swallowed Javier.

But Shen Ye had already taken out the last M72 rocket launcher and pulled the trigger, aiming it at the Veronica virus plant.

Whoosh!

The rocket hit the virus-infected plant directly.

However, after the explosion, the plant was only blasted open, and some blood-like liquid oozed out.

"Rewind."

After realizing that the rockets had no effect on him, Shen Ye immediately shouted.

However, just as they left the sunroom, the Veronica virus plants inside began to undergo a violent mutation, rapidly expanding and growing in a way that defied the laws of physics.

Soon, a giant monster, over ten meters tall and resembling a spider, burst through the sunroom and appeared before Shen Ye and the others.

V—Complex.

"Trying to run now? It's too late."

The monster's head, encased in exposed horny skull, opened like flower petals, revealing Javier, whose body was now only up to his torso, and roared madly at Shen Ye and the others.

"Stay here, all of you."

At that moment, while it was speaking, Shen Ye suddenly raised his hand and shot Javier in the head. However, he immediately realized that Javier had already injected himself with the Veronica virus beforehand, so he couldn't kill him as in the original storyline.

Sure enough, Javier laughed maniacally again: "You can't kill me, you can't kill me at all. Now, I'll show you my new power."

Chapter 126! ​​Reunion

-

As Havel's voice faded, the exposed skull reassembled, and then its enormous, spider-like body lunged at Shen Ye and the others.

bang bang bang...

Shen Ye and his group could only fire and retreat, but Havel, who had fused with the Veronica virus plant, was beyond the reach of even rocket launchers, let alone the guns in their hands.

Even when Shen Ye activated his awakening and attached his psychic power to the bullets, it only left some shallow wounds on Havel's body.

The only one who can cause real harm to Havel is Manuela, whose blood, like Alexia's, can also create burning and explosive effects.

Every time Manuela waved her hand, it caused a series of explosions on Havel's body, leaving it riddled with craters.

But Havel was so large that although the wounds looked numerous, they had no effect on him at all. Moreover, he recovered much faster than when he was still in human form, and the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, perhaps due to the nature of the Veronica virus plant itself, after fusing with Havel, it was unable to use the power of fire. Although it gained other means of attack, it was still good news.

Soon, Shen Ye and his group were chased out of the villa by Javier and entered the jungle.

Once inside the jungle, their situation improved slightly. After all, the trees provided natural cover, and the massive Havel's pursuit began to slow down due to the trees' obstruction.

Only then did Shen Ye and the others have a chance to catch their breath and discuss how to deal with it.

"Shen, do you still have any explosives on you?" Leon fired a few shots at Javier, then turned to ask Shen Ye. The explosives Shen Ye had given them earlier had all been used up. They were more effective than the explosive damage caused by Manuela, but unfortunately, there weren't enough to seriously injure Javier.

"Do you think I'm in the arms business?" Shen Ye glanced at him, and while firing at Havel, continued, "If I still had any, I would have used them already."

These high-purity explosives are very difficult to obtain. It was only when he was in Roanapura that the violent church gave him some, because he paid enough money.

Now, his system space only contains some grenades and small-caliber firearms and ammunition, since these things are small and don't take up much space.

"Here, you guys can take these." Shen Ye pretended to rummage around behind his back a few times, then took out a few hand grenades and handed them to Leon.

"It's better than nothing," Leon muttered, taking the grenade.

"What about ours?" Robert and Fabiola sidled up to Leon after seeing him give him a few grenades.

"Yes, yes, we have them." Shen Ye also handed them a few grenades.

However, these grenades had too little explosive charge. Although they made a terrifyingly loud noise when thrown, to Javier, who had already become the V-Complex, it was like throwing a firecracker next to him—just a loud bang.

"I wish Coco were here."

After firing another burst of bullets at Havel, Shen Ye suddenly thought of Coco. Although that woman could be a bit neurotic at times, she was definitely a good teammate because she could call in bombers for support at any time.

But Shen Ye was just thinking about it. He was currently in the jungle of South America, while Coco was probably still doing business in Roanapur and Balalaika, thousands of miles apart.

"Oh! Coco, I really wish you could appear before me right now." Shen Ye sighed, then shouted out in a venting manner.

As soon as he finished speaking, Coco's voice rang out from deep within the jungle.

"Oh my god, Shen, I didn't expect you to want to see me so much."

Upon hearing Coco's voice, Shen Ye was initially taken aback, thinking he was hallucinating. Then, realizing something was amiss, he quickly turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came. He then saw not only Coco and Farme, but also Balalaika and Dutch and Levi from the Black Reef Merchant Guild.

However, Shen Ye noticed that Levi and Balalaika both looked rather unhappy, which puzzled him.

"Why are you all here?"

Shen Ye fired a long burst of fire at Javier, then asked loudly.

“We’re here for tourism,” Levi said. “Sister Balalaika said you came to South America, and since she was on vacation, she invited us to come along.”

"However, this trip wasn't perfect; we encountered this kind of thing right from the start."

As she spoke, Levi glanced at the terrifying body of the V Complex, raised her gun, and joined the battle. However, she used a pistol and fired a burst of bullets at Javier, only to find that it had no effect whatsoever.

"Coco, how long until your reinforcements arrive?" Levi turned to ask her.

"It should be soon." Coco glanced at the watch on her wrist.

"Then tell them to hurry up," Shen Ye said, watching Javier get closer and closer. "We don't know how much longer we can hold out."

"Don't worry, we'll deal with it together." Coco smiled confidently at Shen Ye, then raised her gun and fired at Javier.

In fact, having confidence is a good thing, but the help provided by the newcomers was minimal, and the damage they caused to Javier was far less than that caused by Manuela.

After all, they weren't carrying heavy weapons, and half of them were even using pistols.

However, as Havel became more and more severely affected by the Veronica virus, his intelligence began to deteriorate significantly. He could no longer concentrate his attacks on one direction and instead frequently switched targets among the group.

This relieved a lot of pressure for everyone, and they even had time to chat again.

"How did you find this place?" Although their arrival surprised Shen Ye, he was curious to know why they had come here.

“We met Garcia in the town of Seine,” Balalaika said.

"Young Master." Upon hearing Garcia's name, Roberto was alright, but Fabiola suddenly exclaimed, "How is he now?"

“He’s alright. Locke is taking care of him in the car, but his father is dead. He was killed by a monster,” Levi interjected.

"What?" Not only Fabiola, but Robert also exclaimed in surprise.

“When we arrived, Sena had become a hell on earth, teeming with man-eating monsters,” Dutch said as he stepped back to reload.

Manuela, who had also retreated to rest, immediately understood upon hearing this that it must have been her father's doing again. She instantly severed any last vestiges of hope for him and, without even catching her breath, unleashed her special ability on Havel with all her might. In an instant, explosions continued to erupt from Havel's body.

Chapter 127! Javier's Destruction and Garcia's Death

(The South America arc is coming to an end. To be honest, it was written according to the outline, but when I actually started writing, I found that something was wrong. The South America arc is only part of the Dark Chronicles, and the plot is actually very short. Most of the time it's just shooting with guns, so there's really not much to write. If it weren't for the fact that I was recruiting Manuela along with the maid, this arc could have been finished in about ten chapters.)

To be honest, although Havel has fused with the Veronica virus plant, he is far inferior to Alexia, especially after his consciousness was eroded by the virus. He attacks entirely on instinct, using only a few attack methods, which were easily figured out.

For Shen Ye and his team, there was no pressure left, except that they had no way to kill it.

Now, all they have to do is hold it back, prevent it from running around, and wait for the support Coco mentioned to arrive.

About ten minutes later, Coco suddenly stopped shooting. She pressed the earpiece hanging on her ear, listened for a while, and then said to everyone, "Support has arrived. Everyone, please spread out and take your positions."

Upon hearing her reminder, everyone scattered in unison, and not long after, a huge roar was heard overhead.

Everyone looked up in the direction from which the sound came and saw an armed helicopter flying towards them.

"Longbow Apache".

Seeing the armed helicopter, Shen Ye was somewhat surprised; he had thought it was another bomber.

Perhaps sensing his confusion, Coco whispered in his ear, "This isn't Thailand, it's the Amazon rainforest, it's inland. Bombers can't fly in here; they have to pass through the air defense identification zones of several countries."

"Don't you need to identify your armed helicopters?" Shen Ye asked, puzzled.

“Of course not, because helicopters are much less of a threat than bombers.” Coco smiled slightly. “Besides, we have our own company in Colombia, so we have that kind of privilege.”

"Alright." Shen Ye had nothing more to say.

As they were talking, an armed helicopter flew overhead. The pilot was startled when he saw the enormous thing on the ground; he had never seen anything so terrifying.

"Can this thing be taken down?" the driver shouted into the communication channel.

"Of course you can. It's just a carbon-based life form. Stop dawdling and take it down quickly," Farmer urged the driver.

“Okay, don’t rush, sir, I’m aiming at it.” The pilot responded, adjusting the fuselage to align with Javier. He then pressed the launch button, and the rocket pods mounted on both sides of the Apache immediately fired rockets at Javier in succession.

In just a few seconds, the rocket pods on both sides unleashed all their rockets.
