Chapter 19 Escape from Raccoon City
Letting the four people wait by the elevator first, Yang Ren came to Lyon alone.
"Leon, how are you~"
Yang Ren started off by speaking in a servile and shameless manner like a villain.
If Leon couldn't hold back and shot Yang Ren to death on the spot, he would have deserved it.
"Why would you want to hang out with a devil like Annie?"
Lyon pointed the gun at Yang Ren's chest and questioned.
"Yani is not the culprit for this."
"On the contrary, you were also used by Ada."
Hearing Yang Ren's answer, veins popped up on Leon's forehead:
"What nonsense!"
Yang Ren's tone remained calm, but the firmness contained in it was unquestionable:
"Listen, Leon."
"I don't have time to argue with you. This place is about to explode."
"Whether you believe it or not..."
"But it's totally meaningless for the two of us to confront each other here now."
Just as the two sides were in a tense confrontation and the atmosphere was tense.
The gate to the South District suddenly opened slowly.
I saw Ada limping out of the door, dragging her injured leg.
"Leon! Did you get the virus sample?!"
Ada immediately saw the two people standing in the West District Skyway and confronting each other, and shouted anxiously.
Hearing Ada's cry, Leon's eyes flashed with concern.
"Don't come over here, Ada!"
Then, he pointed the gun at Yang Ren's chest again and said:
"Now, give up resistance! On behalf of the Raccoon City Police Department, as a trainee police officer, I declare that you are under arrest!"
Hearing this, Yang Ren's expression suddenly darkened:
"You can shoot me now, but I promise you will regret it."
Leon's hand holding the gun began to tremble slightly. He clenched his teeth tightly with a struggling expression.
On the one hand, it was his trust in Ada.
On the other hand, Yang Ren's calmness made him somewhat suspicious.
His eyes passed Yang Ren and saw Elliot shaking his head and moving his lips beside the elevator.
It seems to say:
“Don’t do it.”
Claire, who was standing by, supported Shirley and watched everything with a worried look on her face.
"She's not some FBI."
Seeing Ada appear, Annie, who was standing next to the elevator, suddenly spoke.
"She's an agent for a rival company to Umbrella."
"She will hand over the G-virus sample to her superiors, or sell it directly on the black market."
These words were like a bomb dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.
The struggling expression on Leon's face became even more stiff.
"Is what Ada... Yani... said true?"
There was disbelief in his voice, and Leon turned to look at Ada.
Yani's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing all his beautiful fantasies about Ada.
Leon had to re-examine the woman who was both familiar and unfamiliar not far away.
"Leon..."
When this name came out of Ada's mouth, Leon felt mixed emotions.
The brief time I spent with Ada kept flashing through my mind like a slide show.
At this moment, he was facing Yang Ren and Claire, and even his colleague and senior Elliot was trying to stop him.
Leon found himself unsure who to trust.
Boom!
As he was hesitating, the entire nest suddenly shook violently, and a large amount of rocks fell from the ceiling.
Some of the rocks hit the South Area Skyway where Aida was.
Ada was wearing high heels and she lost her balance and fell.
Fortunately, Ada was quick-witted and grabbed the edge of the passage.
"Ada!"
Leon was startled and pushed Yang Ren in front of him away, rushing towards the southern air passage.
Just before Leon arrived, Ada slipped down and her body paused.
Leon leapt and grabbed one of Ada's hands, while his back half was stuck in the passage to prevent himself from falling.
The G virus sample he had just obtained from the West District slipped out and fell into the abyss below.
「Leon…!」
Looking at Leon's youthful and sunny face, and the way he tried hard to save her.
Ada's qualities as an agent were somewhat shaken.
"Hold on, I should be able to..."
Leon was just about to use his strength to pull Aida up.
Another part of the passage broke, and the two of them sank suddenly at the same time.
Leon's hand, which he had been holding tightly against Ada, suddenly slipped upwards and he could no longer hold on.
"forget it…"
Seeing this, Ada shook her head.
"Shut up, I'll save you!"
Lyon's face was filled with uncontrollable anxiety and pleading, but there was nothing he could do.
He had no choice but to look back at Yang Ren for help.
But the latter just stood there quietly, with no intention of taking any action.
"It's not worth it, Leon..."
Leon didn't reply, still trying to hold Ada's hand.
But the angle at which he was lying was almost more than 45 degrees, and if he continued like this, both of them would fall into the abyss.
"Don't let go... don't let go... please..."
Leon's hand that was holding Ada's hand trembled as it gradually slid from the wrist to the base of the thumb, and was about to be completely released.
Ada looked back at the abyss below.
"Take care of yourself...Leon..."
As the last bit of Leon's grip on Ada's hand slipped away, Ada fell into the abyss.
"No!"
It's like suddenly losing a very important part of my life.
Lying on the corridor, Leon watched Ada's figure being gradually swallowed by the endless darkness and fell into deep self-blame.
Yang Ren, through his vision enhanced by T+NE-γ, clearly saw that after Ada left Leon's visible range, she took out a grappling gun.
The grappling hook shot out, grabbed the wall on the side, and escaped easily.
Leon was still lying on the passage, looking at the darkness below, his body shaking constantly.
After a long time, he slowly stood up and looked at Yang Ren who had been standing aside for a long time.
An invisible fire began to burn in his heart, and he rushed forward and punched Yang Ren in the face.
The latter stretched out his hand lightly to receive the punch, grabbed Leon's hands and put them behind his back.
"Why didn't you save her!"
Leon questioned angrily, his expression almost distorted.
In response, Yang Ren just replied coldly:
"I have no obligation to save her."
Then, he forcibly interrupted Leon's extremely angry state and threw him into the elevator.
The group began to evacuate to the train station below the mother nest.
"Leon..."
"Rookie..."
In the elevator, Claire and Elliot tried to comfort Leon, but they didn't know how to start.
Anyone with eyes could see that he had fallen in love with Ada.
Leon struggled vigorously, but was held firmly by Yang Ren and pressed against the glass of the elevator.
"Calm down, Leon!"
"Your Ada can't die. She has more ways to save herself than you think!"
As Lyon's struggles gradually became less intense, Yang Ren loosened his hold on him.
Lyon, in a state of dismay, knelt on the ground, staring blankly out of the elevator.
The originally rotating blue energy core has now turned red, and a large amount of flames are burning.
"Self-destruction countdown: 10 minutes!"
An electronic synthesized sound rang out, and the elevator quickly reached the monitoring room at the bottom.
"Get up, rookie!"
"We have to get out of here!"
Elliot picked up Leon from the ground and almost dragged him to follow the team.
All the zombies along the way were shot down by Claire and Elliot without Yang Ren even having to take any action.
It was not until everyone went down a ladder that a T-103 Tyrant suddenly broke through the ceiling and landed on Yang Ren's face.
Although not at the same time or in the same place.
How can we not cut the food that is delivered to our door?
The tyrant threw a hook punch, but Yang Ren grabbed his arm and threw him to the ground over his shoulder.
He pulled out his Browning HP and fired several shots at the tyrant's face, killing him instantly.
After dealing with the tyrant, there was an iron door in front of her. Claire walked forward, turned the door handle, and pushed the door inward.
Not surprisingly it can't be opened.
"I knew this stupid thing was locked again."
She complained.
"Wait... I think I can crawl over here and open the door for you from the other side!"
Shirley pointed to the ventilation duct next to her and was about to climb over the railing.
"Don't go, let me do it."
Yang Ren pulled Shirley back, touched her head and said.
The iron door in front of me seems to be quite heavy, which is just right for testing how strong I am now.
Thinking of this, Yang Ren took a deep breath and took a few steps back.
Taking advantage of the acceleration from his running start and jumping, he suddenly kicked the lock of the iron gate.
Bang-!
A loud bang echoed in the air, but the iron gate did not move at all.
“I don’t got time for this!”
Yang Ren cursed under his breath, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
He planted his left foot firmly on the ground, used his right heel to exert all his strength, and kicked hard a second time at the lock core of the iron door.
Clang——!
As the kick landed, the iron gate...still didn't open.
"and many more…"
Elliot seemed to suddenly realize something, walked forward, turned the doorknob, and pulled it out.
The door…opened.
"This door opens outwards..."
This dramatic scene immediately made Claire and Yang Ren, two people with the same IQ, cover their faces at the same time.
They were both fooled by each other.
Following the passage behind the door, everyone soon arrived at a circular platform, in the center of which was parked the front of a train.
After pulling the switch in the control room nearby, the platform began to descend.
The tyrant caught up with us on the way we came.
Its face had almost recovered, and this time it gave up its proudly oppressive strides and turned to a sprint.
The huge body rushed towards Yang Ren like a sumo wrestler.
Yang Ren was not afraid at all and also rushed towards the tyrant.
The two collided with each other, interlocked their fingers, pressed down their bodies and began to wrestle.
At the beginning, the tyrant had the upper hand, and his huge size made Yang Ren slide backwards continuously.
When the tyrant pushed Yang Ren a few meters, he found that the resistance increased dramatically, and Yang Ren on the opposite side slowly raised his head.
Under the catalysis of the T virus, the light blue irises were instantly dyed completely blue.
Under the gaze of everyone, he spoke in English with a very British accent:
“Are you trying to make me angry?”
On Yang Ren's right forearm, several tentacles broke through the skin and strangled the tyrant's neck like lightning.
"Ho!"
With a loud shout, he pushed the tyrant backwards for several meters and pressed him hard against the wall.
Then, he swung it up in an extremely exaggerated posture and smashed it against the wall and the ground.
The people watching the game almost dropped their jaws in shock.
A 1-meter-tall man picks up and throws a 8-meter-tall man. The visual effect is extremely exaggerated.
After the tyrant is completely defeated and loses its fighting power, throw it to the ground like garbage.
Yang Ren supported himself on the ground with one hand, and his tentacles extended along the ground to the tyrant's body, easily piercing through the back of its head and protruding from its mouth, nose, eyes and chest.
The tyrant died instantly, unable to die any more.
It’s a pity that he didn’t wear sunglasses.
The platform quickly descended to the bottom of the mother nest, and after connecting to a train of trailers at the rear, the train started.
After dozens of minutes of bumpy ride, everyone finally got outside.
It was already daybreak and the rain had stopped.
In fact, if you count carefully, from the time Yang Ren and his group arrived in Raccoon City to the time they left Raccoon City.
In total, only one night had passed, a little over 8 hours.
Within 8 hours, Yang Ren almost died twice...
This is enough to show how unlucky Claire is with her boyfriend... no, it shows how dangerous Raccoon City is!
The group walked on the highway in the suburbs of Raccoon City, feeling like they were reborn.
"So, you two are boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Shirley held Annie's hand, looked at Yang Ren and Claire, and asked curiously.
"Well, actually... I think... we just met last night..."
Yang Ren tried to explain and scratched his head embarrassedly.
When he turned around, he saw Claire looking at him expectantly.
Admit it openly, your beloved little Claire is right in front of you, confirming the relationship with you!
"Yes, we are boyfriend and girlfriend."
In the end, Yang Ren gave a positive answer.
"Yeah...it was definitely a wonderful first meeting!"
Claire blinked twice at Yang Ren and put her hands behind her back.
Like a cute little girl jumping around.
Elliot and Annie in the back looked at each other and smiled like aunts at the same time.
After hearing the satisfactory answer, Shirley also smiled like a pig.
"By the way, Leon..."
Yang Ren suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lyon, who had a gloomy face.
Then he pulled out the M9 bayonet from his waist and handed it to Lyon.
"This is... the dagger of your former boss, Marvin Branner."
"It was supposed to belong to you."
Leon took the dagger and stared at the bloody blade in a trance.
He still remembered that when he entered the police station, he saw a black police officer under the goddess statue in the center of the hall.
He was just one step away from turning into a zombie.
He said to Leon:
"It's unfortunate that you're here... Rookie..."
Then, in front of Leon, he put the barrel of the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger.
That scene also left a shadow that lingered in his heart for a long time.
"Look! That guy might be able to give us a ride!"
Shirley suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked in the direction Shirley pointed.
At the end of the road, a tanker truck was approaching.
"What if the city outside also falls?"
Claire turned around and said to Yang Ren with a worried look on her face.
"Take Yani and Shirley away first. They need protection."
Yang Ren answered.
The others stood on the side of the road. Yang Ren and Claire took the initiative to stand on the road and together made a gesture to hail a taxi.
The tanker truck was getting closer, but there was no sign of slowing down.
When driving past the group, the driver even extended a middle finger, causing the two of them to eat dust together.
"Ahem~ Bah bah bah, who is that person!"
Claire waved her hand to disperse the dust in front of her and said with great dissatisfaction.
"He's quite friendly."
Elliot scoffed.
Yang Ren's eyes twitched, and he resisted the urge to rush up and pull the driver down.
"So... it's over?"
Claire said as she looked at the tanker truck heading towards Raccoon City.
"do not know…"
"Even if it doesn't, we will stop it."
"at all costs."
As he said that, Yang Ren turned around and looked at Leon.
The latter raised his head slightly, his expression noticeably kinder.
"Yes, we certainly will!"
Claire echoed.
"Then... let's go?"
Yang Ren extended his hand to Claire.
Claire was slightly stunned, then decisively took Yang Ren's hand.
Feeling each other's hot/cold palms, both of their faces turned red like afterburners at the same time.
It was definitely not premeditated!
The group began to stroll along the road in the suburbs of Raccoon City in the dawn light.
