Chapter 71 Eliot's Accusation (Epileptic)
"What do you mean?"
Yang Ren frowned, his face full of confusion.
In fact, during the entire Javier operation, he never used the ability of T+NE-γ.
In addition to saving Manuela in the sewer, and holding Claire to avoid the attack of the V-Complex at the final moment.
The rest of the time, he almost always followed Claire silently, protecting her wholeheartedly.
The NE-γ tentacles never extended from beginning to end.
"With your speed and reaction ability... you are clearly strong enough to save the lives of some of the soldiers..."
Elliot muttered to himself as he raised his glass and took another swig of wine.
At this time, he was already a little drunk.
"I won't talk about those soldiers who didn't leave their names..."
"But like Medic Ryan...Technician Jack...Engineering soldier Herman...Rifleman Grant..."
"They could have survived..."
"Even Krauser can be spared from injury..."
Having said this, Elliot suddenly stopped talking.
He raised his head and stared at Yang Ren in front of him with bloodshot eyes.
As if wanting to see something else through his body.
"Leon...does he know about me...?"
Elliot turned around and saw that Leon was completely drunk and fell asleep on the bar.
"Besides the fact that you killed the tyrant in the Raccoon City Hive...he doesn't know much more about your abilities..."
“I didn’t tell him specifically…”
Elliot's answer made Yang Ren feel relieved.
"I couldn't save everyone in that situation..."
"I was just trying to protect my little Claire."
Hearing Yang Ren's answer, Elliot sneered:
"You are right about one thing..."
"If you don't try to save a life, you're not saving anything."
Yang Ren's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
That sentence... was just something I said to Claire on the spur of the moment.
It also borrowed Leon's famous quote from the CG movie, Resident Evil: Degeneration.
Elliot picked up the stack of evidence that Yang Ren had placed aside.
After opening it, there are some photos on it:
The grenadier was eaten by mutant piranhas until only a skeleton was left and his camouflage uniform was in tatters.
The body of medic Ryan, corroded by the stomach acid of the Gamma Hunter.
Jack the Master was cut off.
...
Bob and Henry, with skin peeling off their faces and bullet holes in their foreheads.
A rifleman whose bulletproof vest was torn apart by heavy machine gun bullets.
In the secret room under Javier's base, Tom, whose body was broken out by mutant ants, and Dick beside him.
Densely packed photos and texts record the different ways each soldier died.
In some cases, even the bodies could not be found.
There is even the extremely huge Veronica complex that was filmed on a helicopter at the end.
“Give up these unrealistic fantasies…”
Elliot sighed, slowly put down the evidence in his hand, and shook his head helplessly.
"Why?"
Yang Ren frowned tightly, his face full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Things are not as simple as you think..."
"We have already investigated the military's delay in sending support..."
"It's the politicians in the White House who are secretly fanning the flames... They want BOW's combat data..."
Hearing this, Yang Ren's heart sank.
After a moment, he continued:
"Even so, I can't just sit back and watch."
"If they succeed, the consequences will be disastrous!"
However, Eliot tried to persuade him earnestly:
"But if you really make these things public..."
"By then, it won't be as simple as the CIA knocking on the door..."
"What awaits you will be the ruthless and crazy retaliatory destruction of the entire state apparatus!"
"That would not only bring great danger to yourself, but would also implicate your beloved Claire."
"The entire TerraSave will be destroyed!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Ren broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that Yang Ren suddenly fell silent, Elliot stopped talking and continued drinking his tequila.
There were some neon lights flashing around, and the guests were singing and dancing to their heart's content, embracing beauties and drinking fine wine.
The atmosphere fell into an eerie silence...
After a long while, Yang Ren finally managed to say:
"I see…"
……
At night, Yang Ren and Claire slept in the same bed.
However, he had been tossing and turning for more than ten minutes and couldn't fall asleep at all.
Most of the quilt that was originally covering her body was stripped off by Claire, leaving only a thin layer covering her abdomen.
"Stand back, ma'am, I'll handle it...!"
"We all know what the outcome will be...Escape from Raccoon City!"
"Kill me...kill me!"
"Ryan... I'm here to accompany you..."
These…
Is it all my fault…?
Was it my inaction...that led to their deaths...?
The scenes in my mind are like slides, showing every little thing I have witnessed since I came to this world.
Every scene was so real, like a nightmare, that it made it impossible for him to sleep peacefully.
It’s no wonder that at the end of the CG movie Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness, Leon and Claire parted ways due to differences in their ideas.
When faced with evidence that could expose the crimes of senior government officials and halt the development of biological weapons.
Because the scope of involvement is too wide, Lyon wants to suppress it first and not announce it to the public to avoid causing panic.
But Claire wants to use social media to publish the evidence.
But by then, the two people's identities and status were already very different.
Leon was already the president's personal bodyguard, and he had to consider much more than Claire, who was a reporter and ordinary person at the time.
Once the evidence is released, Claire will definitely be assassinated by government agents.
So in a sense, that was also a kind of protection that Leon gave to Claire.
This also directly led to Lyon going further and further down the road of having no friends.
It seemed that I had stayed with Claire for too long and enjoyed the peace for too long.
Look at the world from an ordinary person's perspective, but the world is far from that simple.
Although I am no longer an ordinary person...
Wow—
As his thoughts were getting farther and farther away, Yang Ren suddenly heard the sound of a quilt being moved behind him.
After his exposed body was completely covered, a cold little hand wrapped around his waist.
Claire's soft jade fingers gently stroked Yang Ren's warm belly, and her fingertips lightly tapped the eight hard abdominal muscles.
After feeling it for a moment, he finally placed it on the back of Yang Ren's hand which was resting on his waist.
Then came Claire's soft body, whose body temperature was slightly higher than Yang Ren's, and pressed against his back.
While you can directly feel those two extremely soft lumps on your back, at the same time, there is a warm breath blowing on the back of your head from time to time, which makes you feel tingling and numb, and is very pleasant for your body and mind.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Every time you sleep, you hug me like a cat..."
"Why are you acting so abnormal today...?"
After a moment of silence, Claire's gentle and very soothing voice was heard.
Yang Ren turned over slowly, his eyes revealing an unspeakable confusion and worry.
"Claire..."
A cry came out, the sound as soft as the breeze blowing through the strings of a harp.
After a moment of silence, Yang Ren asked again:
"Do you think... I've changed...?"
There was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
It seemed as if he wanted to get an answer from Claire, but was afraid to hear that answer.
Claire stared at Yang Ren quietly, her eyes full of tenderness and determination.
She gently reached out her hand, stroked Yang Ren's face, which had not changed in the past four years, and said with a smile:
"No…you haven't changed at all."
"You just thought you changed."
Yang Ren also stretched out his hand and gently placed it on Claire's little hand.
It was icy cool, soft and tender, forming a sharp contrast with her hot body temperature.
"But... I couldn't save those soldiers..."
Yang Ren's voice gradually became weaker, like a child who had done something wrong.
"At least our quick response team managed to save the rest, didn't they?"
Claire's voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze blowing through Yang Ren's heart.
In the endless darkness, the pair of light blue amber eyes seemed like the faint light flickering in the night sky, penetrating through layers of darkness and bringing a ray of light.
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
Their eyes met, and after staring at each other for a moment, Claire took the initiative to kiss Yang Ren on the lips.
Yang Ren was slightly stunned, then he gently hugged Claire, feeling her softness, and his mood gradually calmed down.
Leave all worries behind.
After all, little Claire comes first.
What's more, he also saved Elliot and Steve who were supposed to die in Raccoon City and the Antarctic base.
Since many things cannot be changed...let's try our best to prevent them from developing in the worst direction!
After the kiss, Claire put one arm around Yang Ren's waist and buried her head in his chest.
The two of them felt each other's warmth and fell into a deep sleep in the quiet night.
PS: We separated after a while due to the heat (I’m sure)
