Chapter 3 Saving Private Elliot

There is a huge statue of the goddess in the center of the police station lobby.

Murals on the walls, mahogany stairs, solid wood composite doors, and classical Ionic columns.

At first glance, this police station has a very artistic feel.

"Nikola, come here!"

Claire shouted loudly to Yang Ren who was in the lobby of the police station... violently sucking supplies.

After searching the entire hall, only two boxes of pistol bullets and a bottle of high-tech first aid spray developed by Umbrella Corporation were found.

The principle should be to improve the recovery capacity of organic regenerative tissue, while also having a very strong coagulation effect.

As long as it's not a broken limb or kidney, it's just a fatal injury and you can continue to be alive and well after just a spray.

Of course, you can't spray too much, otherwise it will become a foaming agent.

Yang Ren ran down from the second floor, only to find Claire at the front desk half-bent over, staring intently at the laptop in front of her.

The legs look particularly straight under the jeans, and the buttocks are slightly raised...

What a wonderful posture.

The latter seemed to have noticed something and turned around to meet Yang Ren's stunned gaze.

Claire stood up quickly and put one hand behind her back, but her eyes were avoiding downward and left and right.

"Ahem...what's wrong?"

Realizing his own loss of composure, Yang Ren coughed twice, trying to hide his embarrassment.

“Look at this…”

Yang Ren looked in the direction of her finger and saw surveillance footage from the police station displayed on the screen.

Most areas are very peaceful, with only a few zombies wandering around in the occasional scene or two.

However, in the picture that Claire pointed to, a police officer was running away, with a zombie chasing him.

The police officer turned around and fired two shots at the zombie body without success, then continued to retreat.

"David, Marvin, are you there? I found the way out! It's right here!"

The police officer stepped back in front of the camera, took out a small notebook and spoke to the camera.

As soon as he finished speaking, the zombies that were chasing him appeared again.

The police officer fired another shot at the torso, but still failed to knock down the zombie. Instead, the zombie pounced on him.

After pushing the zombie away with all his strength, the flashlight fell to the ground.

"Reinforcements needed immediately, east corridor!"

The police officer quickly turned around and spoke to the camera before disappearing from the frame.

Claire on the side tilted her head slightly, looking at the handsome profile of Yang Ren's body, and thought to herself:

[He was just...looking at my legs and buttocks, right?]

Seeing the police officer disappear from the screen, Yang Ren also turned around, and Claire quickly regained her sight.

“We have to help this guy.

Yang Ren said.

After calling up the police station map and checking the approximate route to the east corridor, the two immediately came to the first floor entrance of the east area of ​​the police station.

There is a rolling door at the entrance with a huge "Keep Out" sign written in black and white on it.

The ground under the rolling door was covered with a large pool of thick blood, which had even turned black.

Claire took a deep breath and pulled down the gate.

The rolling door slowly rose until it reached a height where a person could climb over it, and then it suddenly got stuck.

Yang Ren wanted to try to pull the rolling door up a little bit, but even with the combined efforts of two people, they couldn't lift the rolling door.

In desperation, Claire leaned down, crawled through the rolling door with her upper body, and shone the flashlight behind the door.

Yang Ren stood quietly behind Claire, looking at her back half on the side of the rolling door.

He raised his eyebrows and looked away silently.

Although I have jeans, but... please don't look at them.

Wait...let me take another look...one more look...

After confirming that the other side was safe, Claire climbed over decisively.

“Come on~!”

Yang Ren looked at the large pool of blood on the ground and felt a little nauseous, but he still followed with gritted teeth.

The corridors in the east area seem particularly dark and damp.

The lights seemed to be broken and there was water on the ground.

In the darkness, a feeling of oppression suddenly came over me.

The two men slowly groped forward with flashlights. When they passed a door nailed shut with wooden boards, the door made a creaking sound.

From time to time, a slight roar could be heard from behind the door, as if something was sealed inside the door.

Claire's cowboy boots made a crisp "click, click, click" sound as they stepped on the tile floor.

"Focus...Claire...Focus..."

she muttered.

Yang Ren also kept taking deep breaths, trying to relieve his tension in this way.

In the dark and depressing environment, both of them seemed to be able to hear each other's dull heartbeats.

After working together to move a cabinet that was blocking the way, a pile of corpses appeared at the corner ahead.

Some were sitting with their backs against the wall, while others were lying down.

Some were wearing police uniforms, while others were ordinary citizens.

There were blood splatters all over the walls and the ground was littered with broken limbs. It was hard to imagine what had happened here.

Witnessing such a horrific scene up close, both of them frowned at the same time.

"Open the door, open the door quickly! Someone open this damn door! Someone save me!"

An anxious cry was heard and the rolling door in the guard room nearby was slammed.

"we are coming!"

The two men immediately came to the rolling door, grabbed the bottom of the door and lifted it up with force.

"Save me! Quick! Save me!"

The police officer behind the rolling door immediately extended a hand, holding a diary.

Claire quickly grabbed his hand, but found that she couldn't pull it away.

"Give me your other hand!"

Yang Ren shouted.

The police officer quickly stretched out his other hand to support the ground.

The two of them exerted great strength and finally pulled him out.

At the same time, several pairs of rotten hands stretched out from under the rolling door, followed by several zombie heads.

Yang Ren shot each of these zombies in the head to prevent them from crawling over.

"Thanks…!"

The police officer, who had just escaped death, collapsed on the ground and thanked the two men in a state of shock.

"My name is Elliot Edward..."

boom--!

Before Elliot could say more, the door of the guard room was pushed open again, and the zombie in police uniform who had just been sitting against the wall rushed in.

Yang Ren directly demonstrated through muscle memory what is called "Secret Technique: American 9mm Pulling Technique".

Before Claire and Elliot could react, blood burst out of the zombie's head.

Then he fell face down at Yang Ren's feet.

After the gunshot, there was a sudden rustling noise outside the guardhouse, accompanied by the sound of slapping glass.

"We have to get out of here first!"

After helping Elliot up, the three prepared to return the same way they came.

Just after leaving the guard room, the window next to it was broken.

A pair of rotting hands reached in and grabbed Claire's arm.

"Go away!"

Claire shot the zombie outside in the head without hesitation.

After reaching the corner, the door that was previously sealed with wooden boards was knocked open, and two zombies broke out.

Before he could even show his fangs and claws, he was shot into a sieve by the direct fire from the three men.

Outside the broken glass next to the guard room, zombies kept crawling in, roaring.

"Run!"

Yang Ren took the initiative to stay behind to cover the rear and kept firing at the zombies that were pouring in.

With the help of the original body's terrifying muscle memory, he could almost kill the zombies with one shot, but the number of zombies was still increasing.

Even the windows will be filled!

Yang Ren fought and retreated until Claire and Elliot climbed over the rolling door one after another.

When it was Yang Ren's turn, the magazine of the pistol was empty.

"Nicholas, leave them alone and come out!"

Claire's anxious voice came from behind the rolling door.

Without having time to put the pistol back into the holster, Yang Ren flew directly under the rolling door and grabbed Claire's outstretched hand.

Just when he was about to climb out completely.

A pale, rotten hand suddenly grabbed his shoe, then moved up through the shoe to grab his calf.

Inside the rolling door, a zombie's head popped out like a cricket, opening its bloody mouth and aiming at Yang Ren's calf.

"Fuck! Get out! Get out!"

While Yang Ren was cursing, he turned around and kicked the zombie hard in the face.

The zombie’s entire face was kicked to pieces, but he refused to let go.

Fortunately, Claire pulled out her gun in time and fired several shots at the zombie's head, killing it.

Yang Ren kicked the zombie's limbs back, and then Elliot stepped down the rolling door to block the zombies behind the door.

"We're safe...for now."

Elliot supported his waist with one hand and held the rolling door with the other, breathing heavily.

“That was a close call…Thank you…!”

Yang Ren slumped on the ground, also panting as he thanked Claire.

"Phew, don't get caught again next time~"

Claire smiled, showing a proud expression, and extended her hand to Yang Ren.

Yang Ren looked at the hand Claire extended to him and hesitated for a second.

Then he held it firmly and stood up.

Looking at Claire's smiling face.

Chunxin…Is the earthquake scale ten?

The three returned to the police station lobby safely, but this time, a black police officer appeared in the middle of the lobby.

"Marvin! I'm so glad to see you're alive!"

Elliot happily went up to him and gave him a hug.

But... this black police officer also had a shocking bite mark on his abdomen.

He was the Marvin that Elliot had mentioned when he called for reinforcements.

Marvin Branner.

……

"So no one knows where this all started?"

Claire checked the M640 revolver in the holster and asked.

"Although there are many theories... I am sure that this place is occupied by zombies."

Elliot found two walkie-talkies and handed them to Yang Ren and Claire.

With nothing to do, the two of them immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and started simple debugging.

"Hey...keep the radio on, just in case."

Marvin pointed at the walkie-talkies in the two men's hands and said.

"I won't stay here long. I'll leave after I find Chris."

Claire looked up at Marvin and continued to debug the intercom.

"Are you really Chris's sister?"

Hearing that Claire was his colleague's sister, Marvin couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, what? Any problem?"

Claire wondered.

"He's on vacation, probably in Europe...left a few weeks ago."

Marvin said apologetically.

"Vacation?... Really? That's great..."

Claire breathed a sigh of relief, as if her brother was okay.

Next, Officer Elliott shares with everyone the clues he found.

He opened his diary and pointed to the huge statue of the goddess in the center of the hall and said:

“There should be a secret passage under this statue that leads to the underground parking lot of the police station, and you can exit from there.”

As he spoke, Elliot led the two of them to a lion statue behind a huge statue.

Follow the clues in the diary and move the three patterns under the lion statue to the corresponding positions.

A round hole under the lion statue rotated, and a round medal popped out.

Elliot placed it in the empty slot beneath the goddess statue.

The mechanism turned, and an underground passage appeared, but the downward passage was blocked by an iron guardrail.

"Oh my god, what secrets is this police station hiding?"

This time, Marvin couldn't sit still.

After working in the police station for so many years, he never knew there was such a secret passage in the police station.

Claire shone the flashlight down and it seemed to be an office.

"There are two similar medal statues. One is in the attic on the third floor of the West Ward of the police station, and the other is on the platform next to the library on the second floor of the West Ward."

"The door leading from the lobby to the first floor office in the west area is locked. You can walk from the reception room to the command room and then up to the second floor."

"From the main passage on the second floor, after passing the STARS office, you will reach the platform next to the library."

As he spoke, Elliot handed the diary to Yang Ren.

This long paragraph left Yang Ren confused, but fortunately he was quite familiar with the process of the Resident Evil 2 remake.

"I have to stay and take care of Marvin. I hope you two can handle it."

Elliot looked at Claire mysteriously, then at Yang Ren.

Obviously, he thought the relationship between the two was not normal.

Yang Ren scratched his head shyly.

Ma Wen also took out an M9 bayonet and handed it to Yang Ren, while reminding the two:

"Whether you see that thing wearing a uniform or not, don't hesitate to shoot if you can, or run if you can..."

Yang Ren and Claire looked at each other, then nodded to Marvin.

Elliot and Marvin watched Claire and Yang Ren open the west entrance and enter the reception room.

The two of them sighed in unison.

"Let two children be involved in such a horrific thing. I hope they can escape safely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Marvin suddenly groaned in pain.

There was a sharp pain in the wound on his abdomen, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead like a tide.

"are you OK?"

Elliot immediately went forward to check Marvin's injuries.

"No... Don't worry about me. Go and reinforce the gate to prevent these monsters from rushing in..."

Marvin held his stomach in pain and shook his head.

Since the outbreak of an unknown disease in Raccoon City, he has witnessed too many human tragedies and separations of life and death.

There were also many people who could not be saved, which made him feel extremely guilty.

Even the bite wound on his abdomen was caused by his momentary soft-heartedness and failure to shoot his colleague who had turned into a zombie in time.

He wanted to do something before he died...
