Chapter 4 Moving forward together

Reception room.

Yang Ren suddenly stopped and rolled up his left sleeve.

For some reason, the wound no longer bleeds, and there is only a purple tooth mark proving that it has been bitten.

"Can human wounds heal so quickly..."

Yang Ren muttered to himself.

Maybe... before being completely eroded by the virus, it briefly gained a stronger recovery ability?

This shouldn’t be the case... Marvin was also bitten, but he didn’t gain such recovery ability?

As he thought about it, a bold guess gradually emerged in Yang Ren's mind.

Could this body be able to adapt to the virus?

Claire, who noticed something was wrong in front, stopped and looked back at Yang Ren who was standing there.

"What's the matter, Nicholas?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Ren raised his head slightly, looking hesitant.

After a moment, he stopped dodging and instead took the initiative to show the wound on his arm to Claire.

"this…!"

After seeing the hideous wound, Claire immediately covered her mouth and subconsciously took a step back.

Seeing this, Yang Ren felt even more lonely.

After a moment of silence, he said:

"Claire...if I become one of them...don't hesitate, shoot me..."

After saying this, Yang Ren sighed deeply.

In the world of Resident Evil, without the halo of the protagonist, you can die if you are not careful.

To be able to follow...the one you love during the final countdown of your life...

Even if fate dictates that Claire end her own life, perhaps it would be a good ending...

Looking at the wound on his arm, Yang Ren's eyes gradually became extremely determined.

Claire's face was still full of disbelief. She really couldn't believe that it was a bite.

She originally thought it was just a scratch or some other wound caused by a car accident...

"Hey, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing Claire standing there in a daze without any response, Yang Ren gently patted her shoulder.

"Ah...ah? Nothing...nothing..."

Claire, who was immersed in her own world, trembled slightly, and her expression became obviously evasive, with her eyes shifting diagonally downward.

"Since you haven't shown any symptoms of mutation yet, I can still help you relieve some of the pressure. Let's continue on our journey."

Yang Ren forced a smile and tried to comfort her.

Hearing this, Claire raised her head again and met Yang Ren's stiff sunny smile.

He opened his mouth, but the words turned into two words:

"……All right."

The atmosphere was slightly solemn.

Yang Ren took the initiative to step forward and pushed open the door leading to the west corridor of the police station. What came into view was a dim corridor.

There were several trailing pools of blood on the ground, as if something had killed someone and was dragging them away with the blood gushing out.

Seeing this, both of them frowned.

This scene is no less impressive than the one in the East District of the police station just now, and the smell of blood here is equally strong.

At the end of the corridor, a body in police uniform was leaning against the wall, and the intercom seemed to be reporting something:

"This is 73-Aircrew...rescue. Heading east...on the river...estimated arrival at Raccoon City Police Department in...minutes. I repeat, arrival..."

From the looks of it, it seemed like a helicopter was about to arrive at the police station to carry out a rescue mission.

However, the wound on the corpse’s face seems a little strange?

Claire squatted down, held the corpse's forehead and lifted its head slightly.

A huge wound that went from the corner of his mouth to the back of his neck came into view.

His entire face was a bloody mess, with stringy muscle fibers exposed and traces of blood oozing out.

The dislocated jaw reveals a strange big mouth because of the raised head.

It looks very much like 096 from a certain foundation.

What kind of attack could cause such a horrific wound?

Yang Ren felt a little nauseous. When he turned around, he saw a pair of feet hanging in the air.

When I looked up, I saw a body in a police uniform hanging from the ceiling.

The sharp part of the broken pipe pierced its mouth and even half of its head was cut open.

"Fuck you..."

After bypassing the two bodies, the two continued forward and came to a double door.

Suddenly, Claire felt her clothes being grabbed on the back, and an irresistible force pulled her backwards towards the window behind her.

I looked back in horror, only to see several zombies standing outside the window behind me.

At the same time, several of them grabbed her clothes and were pulling her out.

Moreover, these zombies were surprisingly strong, and Claire couldn't break free for a while.

I couldn't turn my body around and couldn't shoot.

“Nikola…!”

There was no other choice, so Claire immediately asked Yang Ren for help.

At the critical moment, Yang Ren grabbed one of Claire's hands and blew up the heads of the zombies outside one by one.

"well enough…?"

After escaping danger, Yang Ren gently supported Claire, who was still in shock.

For some reason, Claire's heartbeat suddenly quickened when she had physical contact with Yang Ren again.

When I looked up, it was still that Chinese-Russian mixed-race face with a hint of worry.

The numerous wounds on Yang Ren's face caused by the car accident have not yet fully healed, but a layer of blush has appeared on Claire's delicate face.

"fine…"

After thanking him with an evasive look, Claire broke free from Yang Ren's hand, pushed open the double doors and entered the room alone.

Yang Ren was slightly stunned.

Aren’t they said that foreign girls are very open-minded and won’t blush at all?

Thinking back to Claire's dazed look in the reception room just now, he seemed to have noticed something.

Could it be that the appearance of this body is to Claire's liking?

After shaking his head in relief, Yang Ren followed Claire into the room.

This seems to be a command room, with a large number of...white plastic chairs from food stalls...piled up randomly.

There were still a lot of papers stuck on the blackboard, as if some topic was being discussed before the riot.

The door connecting the command room to the west office was locked with a large iron chain.

However, Claire noticed the ventilation window on the top of the wall.

"This way~!"

Summoning the tool man Yang Ren over, Yang Ren squatted down very cooperatively and let Claire step on his shoulders.

"Honestly... you're a little heavy."

Yang Ren stood up, feeling the lightness on his shoulders, and said jokingly.

"You'll get spanked if you talk to a lady like that~"

Claire seemed to be amused as well. She gave Yang Ren a slight kick, causing him to lose balance and sit on the ground.

pat~

Looking up, Claire was no longer in the window, and at the same time, the sound of heels hitting the ground was heard from the opposite side.

"You have a bad temper."

Yang Ren smiled and brushed the dust off his shoulders.

He stood up, stepped back a short distance, sprinted towards the wall, and grabbed the edge of the window with both hands.

He lifted one foot and hooked it on the edge of the window, then flipped his whole body over, all in one smooth movement.

Just climbing over the wall, I did it a lot when I was a crispy college student in my previous life, it's so simple and spicy~

But as I turned over, the wound on my arm suddenly felt like an acupuncture point had been pierced incorrectly, and it hurt for a moment.

Bang——!

If one fails to hold on firmly, a 140 or even 135-pound body will fall to the tile floor.

"Are you okay?"

Claire hurried forward and helped Yang Ren up.

"Ahem... Mistake, mistake~"

It turns out that the only thing that is hard in the whole body is the mouth.

After standing up, I saw two zombies in police uniforms, one fat and one thin.

The fat guy kept hitting the vending machine, and even after turning into a zombie, he was still obsessed with the fat guy's happy water.

The thin one was lying face down on the ground, sleeping soundly.

Such a big noise doesn’t affect you two?

Yang Ren directly pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into the head of the thin zombie on the ground, giving it 24 hours of high-quality sleep.

The fat zombie was still pounding on the vending machine, ignoring what was happening nearby.

The same knife was stabbed into the back of its head, sending it to see the ancient Greek god in charge of the fat house's happy water.

The two searched the storage room and found a GM79 grenade launcher and some ammunition.

However, it was blocked by bulletproof glass and could not be blown open with two small pistols, so the two of them went to the office on the first floor of the West District next door.

There were also two zombies dormant in the office, and they were also eliminated quietly with a dagger.

The two came to a door marked with the symbol of "Spade".

"Behind this door should be the lobby of the police station."

Claire deduced.

Yang Ren squinted and glanced at the door lock.

A mere wooden door can stop the protagonist in the game, but can it stop me? Look, I'm going to kick it...

Bang——!

Elliot and Marvin in the hall were startled by the noise.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yang Ren, who didn't believe it, kicked the door lock a few more times. In addition to the dust falling off the door, he already felt a slight pain in the sole of his foot.

"Are these two kids doing the demolition?"

"This is a solid wood composite door. Don't waste your energy. You can't kick it open."

Marvin and Elliot's complaints could be heard from behind the door.

"Pfft..."

Claire couldn't help laughing.

"This door...is of good quality..."

Looking back at Claire who was covering her mouth and laughing, Yang Ren scratched his head awkwardly and said.

So cute! So cute!

Since I can't kick it open, I can only look for the key honestly.

Turning around, they saw a banner hanging from the ceiling.

"Wele Leon!"

The two looked at each other:

"Leon, who is on his first day at work, is indeed very popular."

What a hell joke.

Returning to the vending machine, the two continued forward and came to a staircase.

Outside the window next to the stairs, a zombie was banging on the window trying to get in.

In order to prevent the zombies from breaking in through the window again as they did before, Yang Ren picked up a few unused wooden boards and nailed them to the window.

Going up the stairs to the second floor and killing two zombies pretending to be dead, the two came to what Elliot called the "main passage on the second floor."

However, there was a lot of debris piled on the main passage, so it was impossible to pass directly through.

"Damn, why is this place blocked?!"

Yang Ren complained.

The two of them turned and went into the locker room nearby to see if they could get around.

There was a big hole in one wall of the locker room, and the shower room was next to it.

It seems that it is possible to go around here and return to the other side of the blocked main passage.

However, there was a damaged water heater in the shower, which was continuously spewing out high-temperature steam, blocking the way forward.

And the valve was missing.

There was no other choice but for Claire to try to search the area first.
