"Good thing it was a Hunter, not a Tyrant." Seeing the green monster emerge from the Iron Canister, Shen Fei could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
A Hunter was one type of Umbrella Corporation bio-organic weapon, or B.O.W. It looked like an enlarged frog, with sharp claws, immense attack power, rapid movement, and tough skin. It could be considered a fairly decent B.O.W.
Umbrella Corporation had made a good choice in sending Hunters after them, but unfortunately, they had made a mistake this time. The Hunter was facing Rebecca, and she had already killed quite a few Hunters at the Training Facility and the Mansion.
Umbrella Corporation had been so foolish because they did not possess any intelligence on Rebecca's previous encounters with bio-organic weapons. Wesker held that information, and William knew some of it as well. But one had betrayed them, while the other had mutated, so naturally neither would provide Umbrella Corporation with any intelligence.
Before long, the Hunter fell under Rebecca and Shen Fei's combined assault. Even a Hunter could not withstand the power of the Barrett Sniper Rifle.
Hunters had never played much of a role in the Resident Evil series, especially against people carrying heavy weaponry.
In fact, not just Hunters—even Tyrants could not withstand concentrated firepower. The only thing Tyrants had over Hunters was that they could be equipped with weapons, modern weapons such as Rocket Launchers and Gatling Guns. That was the true purpose of Tyrants as B.O.W.s.
Ordinary people had limited stamina. Aside from people like Captain America, no one could use a Gatling Gun alone. A Tyrant wielding a Gatling Gun with belts of ammunition wrapped all over its body was unimaginably powerful.
Umbrella Corporation had airdropped six Hunters and four Tyrants this time. Aside from killing a few survivors, the Hunters were all quickly taken down.
The Tyrants, on the other hand, dealt devastating losses to the U.S. Military and Umbrella Corporation's Strike Team alike.
One Tyrant had gone out of control. It was riddled with bullets by the U.S. Military, and no one knew where it had been hit, but it began attacking anyone it saw.
"I wonder what enemy will come next. I'm going out to look for weapons. You stay here and guard this place." After killing the Tyrant, Shen Fei fell silent for a while before saying this to Rebecca.
"Be careful." Rebecca had not wanted Shen Fei to take the risk. After all, he was underage. But given the situation, along with the strength Shen Fei had just displayed, she knew this was not the time to worry about such things.
"I'll be back soon." Zombies, Hunters, and Zombie Dogs would all be manageable with their current weapons. But if another Tyrant came, they would be in danger.
The best weapon against a Tyrant was a Rocket Launcher.
Driving the milk truck they had ridden in earlier, Shen Fei headed for Raccoon City. When Jill had left earlier, she had taken the motorcycle Chris had left behind.
"Driving into Raccoon City from Resident Evil at night... I must be crazy." When Shen Fei spotted more than a dozen cars scattered across the road because of an accident, some of them still burning, he had no choice but to stop.
America had vast land and a sparse population, with cars everywhere. Some kids Shen Fei's age already had their own cars. It could not be helped; cars were cheap here.
After taking several deep breaths, Shen Fei opened the door and continued toward Raccoon City on foot.
Along the way, Shen Fei avoided the scattered zombies whenever possible. He was not entirely sure how zombies identified their targets, but according to information he had looked up before, smell and hearing were the two most important factors. Firing recklessly would only attract more zombies.
"Who would have thought that someone too scared to fight zombies in games would have to fight them in the real world?" Shen Fei mocked himself as he hurried onward.
At that moment, Shen Fei was wrapped up tightly everywhere except for his hands. He truly admired Ada Wong for daring to run around Raccoon City in a sleeveless dress.
But Shen Fei had guessed wrong this time. A game was still just a game, and clothes were designed that way for effect. In the real world, Ada Wong was not stupid enough to dress like that.
Jill was proof enough. She was currently wearing STARS combat gear.
"I hope there are weapons." Shen Fei had come out this time to find a Rocket Launcher. Naturally, his target was not the Police Station. There might be Rocket Launchers there, but it was also the most dangerous place. Umbrella Corporation's laboratory was right beneath it, and there were not just Hunters down there, but Lickers too.
Hunters were stronger in a direct fight, but Lickers were far deadlier at ambushes, especially in an urban environment. The reason the Police Station's officers had been wiped out was not because of zombies, but because of Lickers. Shen Fei had no intention of fighting Lickers right now.
Daring to enter Raccoon City in search of weapons was already the most he could do. Partly for his own life, and partly for Rebecca and the children.
Shen Fei had come to Raccoon City to find weapons airdropped by Umbrella Corporation, or weapons airdropped by the U.S. Military.
Real combat did not give anyone unlimited ammunition, and the weapons and ammunition one could carry were limited as well. Under such circumstances, how else could they replenish their ammunition? Naturally, through airdrops.
The Tyrants also needed resupplies of weapons and ammunition. It was precisely with that in mind that Shen Fei had entered the city.
"They're all guns." Shen Fei quickly found a Supply Crate. He had found it so quickly because it was too conspicuous—the crate's location was glowing.
By then, power had been cut off across most of Raccoon City. In the pitch-black environment, zombies had an enormous advantage over humans. This was also Umbrella Corporation's plan: destroy the power plants and let the zombies eliminate the survivors.
Fortunately, fires were burning throughout the city, so the streets were still visible.
"What I need is a Rocket Launcher." After replenishing some ammunition, Shen Fei continued searching for more Supply Crates.
Hard work paid off. Shen Fei finally found a crate containing a Rocket Launcher, along with three Rockets. Including the one already loaded in the Rocket Launcher, he had four in total.
"This should be enough." With the goods in hand, Shen Fei immediately decided not to take any further risks. He was somewhat curious about the laboratory beneath the Police Station, and Sherry might be there, but he had no desire to face G-William head-on.
That thing seemed immortal and could transform repeatedly. If Raccoon City had not been hit with a nuclear weapon, it might very well still be alive.
Fortunately, Shen Fei's body had been strengthened by the T-Virus, greatly increasing his strength. Otherwise, he truly would not have been able to carry the Rocket Launcher away.
Boom.
Just as Shen Fei was preparing to leave, a tremendous blast suddenly came from the distance. It was followed by nonstop gunfire, then a roar that sounded like some kind of animal.
"What kind of joke is this? Does Umbrella Corporation even have something like that?" Using the distant firelight, Shen Fei roughly made out what it was.
A Zombie Dinosaur, three meters tall and roughly five meters long.
Facing the Zombie Dinosaur, Umbrella Corporation's Strike Team and the U.S. Military's special forces seemed to have joined forces to attack it.
"Is this a bonus from the Marvel Universe?" Thinking that, Shen Fei immediately sped up and left.
