Meanwhile, Rebecca Chambers, now a professor at a university specializing in vaccine development, a former member of Chris' S.T.A.R.S. unit and survivor of the infamous mansion incident, studies a new form of T-virus coined Anomality virus or "A-virus", that is capable of laying dormant any individual until the right trigger is presented. She identifies three component to the virus: The T-virus, Las Plagas and the dormant virus. The research labs are soon attacked by Maria, who releases the virus in aerosol.

Resident Evil: Death Island[]
One year after the bioterrorist attack in New York, Maria plans her retaliation against the people who killed her father, focusing especially on Leon. Later, Dylan Blake, a friend of Arias, recruits her. He intends to go after Leon, Chris, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine, accusing them and their organization of prolonging and escalating the War on Terror through corruption, inaction, and failure. While Alcatraz Island was still a military station, the two makes plans for their base and operation there. Dylan and Maria take over A-GUA Industries, the business front for a crime organization created by Arias in the black market for bioweapons, after the deaths of her father and Arias. Blake and Gomez used an experimental mosquito drone to infect specific targets that could be put to death without starting an outbreak by developing a non-transmissible t-Virus strain.
Dr. Antonio Taylor, a lead robotics engineer who is wanted by the government for selling classified knowledge to foreign groups outside of the US, is kidnapped by mercenaries hired by Dylan and Maria to speed up their plan. The moment Maria sees Leon approaching to save Dr. Taylor, she jumps onto his bike and simultaneously pulls both brakes, bringing the vehicle to a sudden stop, throwing Leon forward and allowing her and the other kidnappers to escape. Maria looks over Dr. Taylor's drone research on the island, where he successfully finishes the prototype while Blake pushes for mass production. Their murder trail led to the arrival of Chris, Claire, and Jill who had identified the cause of their crimes. Dylan starts an outbreak in Alcatraz where tourists become infected and kill others, leaving only the trio as survivors. Once the outbreak started, Dr. Taylor escaped.
The Redfield sibling, who Dylan had infected and rendered unconscious with the drones, is found with Dr. Taylor when Maria is ordered by Dylan to capture him. This enables Maria to corner Dr. Taylor and capture all three of them. When Dylan reveals their capture, Maria makes herself known to Leon and Jill in the prison compound. A drone subdues Leon, and Maria, who enjoys harming him, while Dr. Taylor is shot by Dylan, angering Jill, who is incapacitated by Maria. Finding a gap, Leon throws a flashbang, allowing Jill to thwart Maria and flee. Maria was about to murder him, but Dylan told her to let him suffer through the virus instead, moving the plan along to its final stages.
Maria releases the floodgate at the armory, allowing Dylan to summon the BOW Megalodon shark. Leon arrives at the console and tries to stop the drones from being released, but Maria confronts him and says she will kill him even if she is glad that he survived. The two fought in which Maria has the upper hand and Leon struggles to avoid her attacks. But Leon finds an opening and pushes Maria against a metal grinder, which impales her. She manages to release herself from it, but dies from blood loss. Leon then somewhat sadly tells her "Now you can be with your dad again."
