"Captain, why was this prisoner being escorted to a place like this?" Rebecca looked at the contents of the wanted poster in her hand, her face full of confusion.
Although Raccoon City was prosperous, its location was extremely remote. No matter how she looked at it, a criminal named Billy should not have ended up here under any circumstances.
"That is indeed suspicious." After hearing Rebecca's words, the Captain immediately fell into thought. As the leader of STARS' Beta Team, Enrico was a meticulous and thoughtful man. Twenty years of working as a police officer had made him vaguely sense that something was wrong with this mission.
"You have a point. Don't stray too far from me." After a brief silence, the Captain said this to Rebecca.
When STARS carried out missions, they operated in pairs. Since Rebecca had just joined, and she was a gentle, talented scientist, the Captain had been assigned to partner with her.
"Yes." After nodding, Rebecca immediately drew the handgun at her waist and prepared to enter the stopped train to search it.
While Rebecca entered the train to investigate, Enrico planned to look around outside before going in to meet up with her.
"Who's there? Come out!" Just as Enrico was about to move, he suddenly sensed something was off nearby. He immediately aimed his handgun at the rustling bushes and shouted.
"Come out now, or I'll shoot!" Enrico said as he slowly advanced toward the bushes.
"What the hell is that?" After taking only a few steps, Enrico's expression changed at the sight of the creatures before him. Three Zombie Dogs had appeared in front of him, though Enrico did not recognize what they were at the moment.
A foul stench drifted over with the wind, making Enrico cover his nose. At that moment, the three Zombie Dogs lunged at him from three different directions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The instant the Zombie Dogs moved, Enrico rapidly retreated and fired three shots at them. As expected of a member of STARS, his three hastily fired bullets slowed the Zombie Dogs down, allowing him to swiftly climb a nearby tree.
"Captain, what happened?" At that moment, Rebecca's voice came through the Walkie-Talkie on his shoulder.
"Don't come out!" Enrico shouted urgently.
"Captain, ah!" Rebecca suddenly screamed through the Walkie-Talkie, followed by a gunshot.
"Rebecca! Rebecca!" Hearing that, Enrico immediately shouted into the Walkie-Talkie, but there was no response.
"Damn it!" Enrico immediately panicked. He kept firing his handgun at the three Zombie Dogs below. He had to save Rebecca.
Unfortunately, before he could deal with the three Zombie Dogs, the train suddenly started moving and carried Rebecca away.
Enrico could only watch helplessly as the train departed.
"What exactly happened? Why did the virus leak?" Deep within the Arklay Mountains, inside a beautiful and sprawling villa, a young man in a white lab coat shouted at Wesker.
"I don't know. All we know now is that the Training Facility has fallen." Wesker spoke with a cold expression.
"Fallen? How is that possible? Aren't you going to find a way to deal with this? This place cannot be exposed."
"It's already too late. The higher-ups have decided to destroy that place, and this one as well. You should prepare to leave as soon as possible." Wesker said calmly.
"What? This place is being abandoned too? My research is at its most critical stage. I'm about to succeed!"
"These are orders from above. They have decided to use this opportunity to test the power of the B.O.W.s. STARS is already on its way here. I need to return and act with them." Wesker left directly after saying that.
(B.O.W.: refers to bio-organic weapons.)
"Damn it. I was so close. I could have completed my newest virus. Then..." Watching Wesker's retreating back, the young man in white's eyes flashed with malice.
"Dr. Abraham Erskine, once my G-Virus is complete, I will definitely surpass you."
If Shen Fei had heard those words, he would have been even more surprised. Dr. Abraham Erskine was actually connected to Umbrella Corporation.
Who was Dr. Abraham Erskine? He was the man who created Red Skull and Captain America, the inventor of the Super Soldier Serum.
What the hell is wrong with Umbrella Corporation? Its business was clearly thriving, so why was it researching bioweapons? With that much manpower and resources, if they had invested it in pharmaceuticals, they might have even developed a cure for cancer. As Shen Fei continued looking through information on Raccoon City, he kept muttering to himself inwardly.
With that kind of research capability, wouldn't it have been better to develop power armor, Gundams, or an Iron Man Suit? Shen Fei had never understood Umbrella Corporation's investment in bioweapons.
Bioweapons were powerful, but they could not stand up to modern weaponry at all. Hadn't every boss in the Resident Evil games been unable to withstand an RPG? If one shot was not enough, just fire another.
If they wanted to make money, Umbrella Corporation's current pharmaceutical business was already highly profitable. Of course, it definitely was not as fast as selling bioweapons.
If the side effect of the T-Virus could be removed and it were applied in the medical field, it would definitely shine brilliantly.
"Heh, the US Federal." Umbrella Corporation was certainly the main force behind Raccoon City's crisis, but the government had also played a major role. Otherwise, how could Umbrella Corporation have researched bioweapons for so many years without anything leaking out?
They had even directly flattened Raccoon City with a nuclear weapon after the Resident Evil outbreak.
I wonder how many people in this city will survive in the end. Walking down the street and looking at the smiling people around him, Shen Fei could not help feeling emotional.
Although there had been several deaths around Raccoon City, the government had done an excellent job covering them up. Other than those directly involved, everyone else still believed Raccoon City was a peaceful, prosperous, and happy city.
"So many dogs. Just how much did you people love keeping dogs?" Shen Fei's brows immediately furrowed as he watched numerous people walking their dogs on the streets.
Shen Fei did not know much about the US Federal. In his previous life, he had not been someone who could afford to go abroad. Everything he knew had come from the internet, American TV dramas, and videos.
Dogs were nothing unusual normally, but in a city where Resident Evil was about to break out, they meant Zombie Dogs. Compared to slow-moving zombies, Zombie Dogs were much harder to deal with.
"Escaping through the mountains is impossible. There are too many animals there, and if they become infected, they will be extremely difficult to handle. The only way out is probably Raccoon City's sole connection to the outside world. If Umbrella Corporation blocks it off, then I can only leave through the underground laboratory."
With that thought in mind, Shen Fei headed toward the Police Station. According to his memories, Umbrella Corporation's laboratory seemed to be beneath the Police Station.
Bang!
Shen Fei had just turned from the street onto the road where the Police Station was located when he heard a gunshot, followed by people shouting and fleeing for their lives.
That shot startled Shen Fei badly. He immediately dropped to the ground and activated the ability of the Op-Op Fruit. Through his experiments, Shen Fei had discovered that ordinary people could not see the energy sphere created by the Op-Op Fruit. He then quickly crawled toward a parked car nearby.
"That was my child! My child! And you still haven't found the killer!" After hearing another two gunshots, Shen Fei heard someone roaring ahead.
"Calm down! Put the gun down! We've been investigating!" A voice came through a loudspeaker afterward.
"Was that a father who had lost his child?" After a brief exchange of gunfire, the father was taken away by the police.
"That was dangerous." Watching the police officers' retreating backs, Shen Fei finally let out a breath, withdrew his ability, and stood up beside a car. Having lived more than twenty years in his previous life, this was the first time he had seen a gunfight in reality. It truly was completely different from television and movies.
"Are you all right?" At that moment, a clear and melodious voice sounded behind him. When Shen Fei turned around, his expression immediately froze.
"Do you know me?" The tall woman, dressed in a red dress and red high heels, smiled when she saw Shen Fei's expression.
"No. It's just that you're so beautiful, miss." Shen Fei immediately replied.
Ada Wong. Her distinctive outfit, combined with her beautiful appearance, made Shen Fei recognize her at once.
Well, that was convenient. Everyone who was supposed to show up was appearing now.
"Thank you. It's dangerous here. You should hurry home." After leaving those words behind, Ada left.
Of course it's dangerous now that you're here.
Before you continue
