37: The Shura Field is about to begin

He came back to his senses.

Jill picked up her chopsticks.

Then, she turned to look at Joa.

“How do you use this thing…?”

With a slight smile, Joa taught Jill how to use chopsticks hand in hand.

After eating their fill.

The advance team members carried a large bucket of Water into the bathroom.

Then, Jill took a combat uniform Joa gave her and walked into the bank's bathroom.

After showering, Jill was about to put on the combat uniform without anything underneath.

She then saw that even underwear was prepared in the middle of the combat uniform.

‘How does this guy have women's underwear?’

After putting it on, Jill felt it was a little tight.

But it was still fine, not too uncomfortable.

Fully dressed.

Jill walked to the mirror in the bathroom, looked at herself in the mirror, and whispered.

“This bastard… doesn’t seem that annoying…”

Unable to stop the corners of her mouth from curling up, Jill was in a good mood.

She didn't know if it was because she had become stronger… or because of Joa.

Walking out of the bathroom, Jill’s expression returned to calm.

Seeing Jill clean up and change into the black combat uniform, becoming even more beautiful, Joa was about to open his mouth to praise her.

An advance team member walked up to them.

“Boss, we found the vault’s location.”

Hearing this, Joa nodded and looked at Jill.

“Let’s go.”

Before leaving.

Joa waved his hand and called over the advance team soldier who had helped carry the bath Water.

Then he whispered in his ear.

“Go dump the bath Water in the bathroom.”

“No secretly drinking it!”

Hearing Joa’s warning, the advance team member had a head full of question marks.

‘How did the Boss see through my thoughts?’

‘No! That’s not right!!!’

‘Who would secretly drink bath Water?!’

Nodding heavily, the advance team member walked towards the bathroom.

Joa knew that Raccoon City would be nuked on the 30th.

But who could guarantee that before the 30th, no survivors would run into the bank bathroom to drink Jill’s bath Water?

If survivors really drank it, wouldn’t that be letting them off easy?

Watching the advance team member walk to the bathroom door and throw a grenade inside.

Then, with a bang.

Joa nodded in satisfaction.

Under the protection of the advance team members, he walked towards the vault.

On the way.

Jill, who had frowned and thought for a long time before finally understanding why Joa had sent someone to throw a grenade into the bathroom.

Looked at Joa with a look of disgust and said.

“Pervert!”

Seeing Jill’s expression, Joa felt comfortable.

“That’s right, that’s the expression, satisfying!”

“You…”

This unexpected answer made Jill a little stunned, not knowing what to say.

Scold him?

Jill was afraid that scolding this pervert would make him happy.

Coming back to her senses, thinking of Joa's reaction just now, Jill couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter.

‘This guy… is quite interesting.’

“My name is Jill Valentine.”

Hearing this, Joa nodded.

“Hmm, I know.”

‘…That’s it?’

‘I know You know my name.’

‘But didn’t I say that so You would introduce yourself too?’

Thinking of this, she was about to ask Joa’s name.

Joa spoke first.

“My name is Joa.”

The words she was about to ask were held back, and Jill felt as if there was a breath stuck in her chest, very uncomfortable.

‘This bastard! He’s definitely doing it on purpose!’

Constantly teasing Jill, making her angry with nowhere to vent.

Soon.

The group arrived in front of the vault.

‘Shit! He’s going to make me so mad!’

Joa walked forward with a half-smile under Jill’s murderous gaze.

He raised his hand and placed it on the vault security door.

The next moment.

The vault security door instantly disappeared.

“Hiss! Roar!”

After the security door disappeared, a zombie in a suit immediately pounced on Joa.

Joa, who had not expected there to be zombies inside the vault, was startled.

He subconsciously punched the zombie’s head.

Bang! Thump!

The zombie’s head was smashed directly by Joa’s punch, like a watermelon.

All sorts of yellow, White, and transparent liquids splattered everywhere.

“Damn it, you damn thing!”

“You scared the hell out of me!”

The change happened too quickly, let alone Joa.

The advance team members were also badly frightened.

If the Boss got hurt, who would pay them?

The Advance Team Instructor, who wished he could revive that zombie and kill it a thousand more times, made several gestures.

Then, the advance team members entered the vault with their guns.

To check if there were any more zombies inside.

Behind Joa, Jill was also startled by the scene just now, her heart in her throat.

She walked up to Joa’s side.

“Are You… alright?”

Hearing this, Joa let out a sigh of relief.

“Nothing else, except my clothes got dirty.”

Seeing Jill’s worried expression.

Joa smiled and said.

“Are You worried about me?”

Hearing this, Jill’s breathing hitched.

“Who? Who’s worried about You?”

“I… I’m afraid You won’t be able to fulfill the conditions You promised me!”

Seeing Jill’s unconvincing appearance.

Joa clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“Tsk tsk tsk, not frank at all.”

“Tsundere should have been out of fashion a long time ago.”

Although she didn’t understand Joa’s words, Jill knew they were definitely not good words.

As if her thoughts had been exposed, Jill gritted her teeth and stared at Joa for a while in exasperation.

Then she took a deep breath, drew her pistol, and walked into the vault.

Looking at Jill’s back, Joa muttered softly.

“She looks good even when she’s angry.”

Hearing Joa’s mumbling, Jill, who had only walked a few steps, didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.

She was defeated, truly defeated.

He was really good at making her angry.

Looking at the zombie corpse at his feet, Joa’s brows furrowed involuntarily.

‘It seems this guy was probably a high-ranking bank executive. When the virus broke out, he got bitten and hid himself in the vault.’

“Damn it!”

“Why hide in the vault?”

“Even after dying, You still have to scare me.”

“How unlucky.”

Shaking his head, Joa took off his dirty jacket and took out clean Water to wash his face.

He changed into clean clothes.

Only then did he walk into the vault.

“Boss… the gold here…”

The advance team members following Joa entered the vault and saw the piles of gold inside, their eyes immediately widened.

They had never seen so much gold in their lives.

Looking around, a rough calculation.

Joa felt that this bank’s gold seemed to be even more than Pacific Standard Bank’s.

At least eighty tons.

The exact amount could only be measured back at the Base.

‘Umbrella Corporation is really rich as hell!’

‘This is just a Raccoon City branch!’

Besides Umbrella Corporation, Joa couldn't think of anyone else who would store this gold here.

Storing it in the bank's underground vault was much more convenient to access than Umbrella Corporation's deep underground research Base.

Taking a deep breath, Joa quickly ran through the vault.

Wherever he went, all the gold was collected into his system space.

However, without Polaris’s help, even with the enhancement and greatly increased speed, Joa still ran for ten minutes.

Only then did he collect all the gold into the system space.

After collecting all the gold, Joa’s breathing remained steady.

‘This stamina!’

After merging with the Progenitor Virus, the improvement in his physical fitness once again made Joa extremely satisfied.

Coming back to his senses, his gaze swept over everyone.

Joa grinned and said loudly.

“After we go back, everyone involved in this operation will be rewarded with 500,000 U.S. dollars.”

“Thank You, Boss!”

Everyone returned to the bank entrance with joyful expressions, and after reuniting with the others.

Joa’s reward of 500,000 U.S. dollars once again caused cheers from the crowd.

While the soldiers were cheering, Joa looked at the calm Jill.

He wondered in his heart if Polaris would skin him alive when they met later.

‘A Shura Field?’

‘A bit interesting.’

‘As long as she doesn’t kill me, I’ll accept whatever compensation she asks for!’
