The Resident Eviloves : Connections (Lady Dimitrescu - Resident Evil)

Chapter 8 - Connections

Karl remained perplexed as this group of unknown men, dressed in black and with faces hidden by balaclavas, had just come out of the darkness of the neighboring streets and advanced on the parking lot in his direction. He glanced at the weakened young red-haired woman who had just arrived, and saw that she seemed worried, even frightened to see these strangers. Karl nevertheless remained very calm, lighting a cigar and beginning to smoke.

_"May I know who you are, gentlemen?" he asked.

_"It's none of your business." one of them replied coldly. "Look, if you want to continue having a trouble-free evening, I advise you to leave. We'll take care of this girl."

_"No...please...don't let them take me..." the red-haired young woman said in distress, seeming to be trying to resist the pain caused by this power coming from her body. .

Karl looked at her, then blew out cigar smoke as he looked towards the group of men, seeing their pistols without showing the slightest fear.

_"Something tells me she doesn't really want to." Karl said with a small cynical smile. "And by the way, who take care of someone with guns? Do you really think I'm an idiot... I know bad guys when I see them, and you know why? Because I am one myself."

_"Kill him and take the girl." said one of the men in the group, visibly annoyed by the time wasted talking.

The men raised their weapons and opened fire, their pistols fitted with silencers. But Karl didn't move an inch, his smile widening and showing his teeth and eyes shining with absolute confidence. For her part, Emily, who was still near the van and behind Karl, then felt this same invisible but powerful magnetic wave coming from his body.

All are then left speechless. All the bullets fired by the guns were totally frozen in the air. Karl let out a sadistic chuckle.

_"Gotcha." he said snapping his fingers.

The pistol bullets were violently thrown back by an unseen force and several of the men were hit in the body and head by projectiles from their own weapons. Those who had managed to dodge the bullets took cover behind cars. Emily stood stunned at this and saw Karl drop the rest of his cigar on the floor, crush it under his boot and crack his neck and knuckles.

_"Ok, let's go for the massacre." sneered Heisenberg.

Emily stayed by the van and watched him. Heisenberg stepped forward and by means of his power lifted a car in the air and behind which were hidden two of the hooded men, also more than surprised.

_"You guys are really bad at hide and seek." Karl commented sadistically before using his power to drop the car on top of them, crushing them and reducing them to piles of crushed flesh and bone on the asphalt.

Another enemy tried to shoot him but Karl took remote control of the gun and turned it against its owner, shooting him several times in the head and upper body. The one who seemed to be the leader of this squad had taken refuge behind the corner of the wall of the building in front of the parking lot and was watching all this in confusion, but seeing that the weapons were useless, made the decision to leave and leave, abandonning his remaining teammates. Meanwhile, Emily continued to observe the slaughter committed by this particular man in power. He showed no mercy. Emily had to rub her eyes several times, several times believing herself to be in some kind of really weird dream but soon had to realize that she was living the reality. But what the hell was going on?! But just as Karl seemed busy, Emily noticed one of the hooded men about to attack him from behind with his gun.

_"Watch out!" she said, wanting to warn her protector, and held out her hand.

Again, her power activated and animated by this strong emotion, produced a sharp flash from her palm which exploded and struck the enemy in the chest, killing him on the spot before he could shoot. Heisenberg turned to see the facts and then calmly joined Emily who leaned on the van, panting and looking at her hand still crossed by these electric veinlets.
