Infinite: From the Resident Evil

As he was about to disappear into the darkness, a calm voice reached everyone's ears: "Don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, including the president."

"Yes!" The Turks had no choice but to obey their boss's words.

……

The battle between Shen Ye and Sephiroth did not last too long, only an hour in total. When Shen Ye and Alice returned home, it was just past two in the morning.

However, as soon as they opened the door, they saw Amina sitting on the sofa in the living room with an anxious look on her face. When she saw them come back, she immediately stood up and greeted them.

"Where have you been? Did something happen?" Amina walked up to Alice and hugged her, then asked.

She was awakened by the noise made by the fight between Shen Ye and Sephiroth. After coming out of the bedroom, she found that the door of the house was open. Alice and Shen Ye were not in the bedroom, so she hurriedly wanted to go out to look for them.

But as soon as she went out, she was persuaded to go back by the Turks members who were ordered to stay behind, so she could only stay at home and worry.

Now seeing the two of them coming back, her anxious heart finally settled down.

"There was a small accident, Ms. Amina, but we solved it." Shen Ye did not explain in detail. After all, explaining it would only cause Amina more trouble.

But Amina didn't believe it at all. She stared at Alice, as if waiting for her explanation.

"Yes, Mom, it's okay now." Alice put her hands on Amina's shoulders: "Shen is very strong, no matter what happens, he can handle it."

Amina's trust in her daughter was far more important than anything else, and seeing her say so, she could only nod.

"Okay, Mom, go to bed. It's still a long time before dawn." Alice persuaded again.

But Amina suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "You sleep with me tonight, otherwise I can't sleep."

"But..." Alice glanced at Shen Ye, a little hesitant.

"Is your mother not as important as your boyfriend in your heart?" Amina said pretending to be angry.

"Of course not." Alice shook her head vigorously, and then said to Shen Ye: "Shen, I'm really sorry, you will have to stay alone in the empty room tonight!"

"It doesn't matter." Shen Ye smiled and shook his head.

Chapter 181! New Job

……

Early the next morning, the church in the Fifth Block was already packed with people from the neighborhood, all of whom had come to watch the fun.

Of course, some of them had intended to come over and take a look when they heard the noise in the early morning, but like Amina, they were persuaded to go back by the Turks' people.

But now it was different. After the inspection, the Turks' people withdrew, and the unattended church was suddenly crowded with people.

"The battle last night was fierce!" Some people in the crowd were surprised at the extent of the destruction here.

"Yes, a large number of surrounding buildings collapsed. Fortunately, this place has been abandoned and not many people live here, otherwise I don't know how many people would have died!" someone echoed.

"But who was fighting here last night? Does anyone know?" someone else asked.

"They look like they are from Shinrotax. I wanted to come over and take a look last night, but was stopped by them. They said they were clearing out monsters that invaded the city and it was very dangerous." Someone answered.

"Are they so kind?" Someone questioned, "It's not uncommon for monsters to invade cities. Monsters hurt people in the slums every day. I've never seen Shinra people clean them up. They must be hiding something."

His questioning caused a group of people to nod in agreement. Although they relied on Shinra's almost free energy to survive, and also complained that the resistance organization's attacks on Shinra affected their lives, it did not mean that they liked Shinra. Most people knew very well that the current situation could be said to be caused by Shinra, but because of poverty and lack of resources, they had to support Shinra and work for them to earn income. In short, they were caught in a very contradictory situation.

Moreover, when monsters appeared in the slums, they would either organize their own people to clean them up, or pay mercenaries for help. Basically, they had never seen anyone from Shinra take action, so naturally they had all kinds of suspicions.

"Forget it, even if something is hidden, it's none of our business. It's time to get to work, otherwise we won't know what to eat in the evening." After a group of people discussed with each other for a while, someone said something very realistic. In an instant, more than half of the onlookers disappeared, and soon, there were only two people left.

"Compared to the so-called stance, filling the stomach is more important!" Alice sighed as she walked into the church holding Shen Ye's arm.

Shen Ye nodded: "Of course, most people don't think about what will happen tomorrow, and naturally don't care what the world will be like in the future. What they think about most is whether they can find a job today. After all, in this world, unemployment is equivalent to starvation."

"In that case, I'm going to starve." Alice pointed to the messy flowerbed in front of her and said, "I think I'm out of work!"

Shen Ye: "..."

In fact, although the battle yesterday was fierce, there were still some flowers left in the flower bed. After all, they were planted carefully by Alice and had very strong vitality.

But so many people came in the morning, and after discovering that there were actually very rare flowers planted here, many of them secretly dug up a plant before leaving. As a result, when Alice and Shen Ye arrived here, not only were the flowers gone, but even the soil where the flowers were planted had been dug up clean, leaving nothing behind.

This is also the reason why Alice told Shen Ye that she was unemployed - although there were still some flowers at home, most of them were for decoration and could not be sold.

"But you don't look sad at all." When walking out of the church, Shen Ye kept looking at Alice's face and found that she looked like nothing had happened and there was a faint smile on her face.

"Yeah! Anyway, there are only a few flowers left. If they like them, just give them to them." Alice waved her hand generously: "Besides... I have been growing flowers for so long, I suddenly want to try a new job."

"A new job? Sure. People always have to try new things and live a new life." Shen Ye nodded, then said, "But you don't have to work. I still have a lot of money, more than enough to support you."

"I don't want to be a parasite, Shen!" Alice has always been a self-reliant girl, which can be seen from the fact that she sold flowers alone when she was very young.

"I want to be self-reliant!"

"Have you decided what kind of job you want to do in the future?" Shen Ye asked curiously.

"I've thought about it!" Alice nodded with a sly smile on her face.

Looking at Alice's smile, Shen Ye's heart suddenly started beating, and he asked carefully, "So soon? Can you tell me what you want to do?"

"Of course." Alice said with a smile: "I'm going to go to Tifa's place and help her manage the bar."

"What?" Shen Ye exclaimed in surprise.

…………

Shen Ye certainly did not agree to Alice's idea of ​​going to work for Tifa. Not to mention that Alice was still being monitored by Turks, if she really went there, Barrett and the others would probably expose their identities, although this was only a matter of time.

But the above are actually trivial matters. The important thing is the scene that will definitely give Shen Ye a headache when Aerith and Tifa are together.

Although the two women are unlikely to have quarrels or the like, bickering is inevitable. If one of them suffers a loss and asks him for help, who can he choose to help?

However, even though Shen Ye was opposed to it, Alice was determined to go, and she went as soon as she said she would. As soon as they came out of the church, she pulled Shen Ye onto the bus to the Seventh Street District.

On the bus, Shen Ye was still trying to persuade her, saying that working in a bar was hard and that she had to be careful of drunk people. Most importantly, she would have to work very late and it would be unsafe to go home then.

Alice silenced him with just one word.

"Will you let me go back alone?"

Well, what else could Shen Ye say? He could only agree.

But soon he thought of another question. If he had to send Alice home every day, wouldn't Tifa watch the scene of him sending Alice home every day after work, and then go home alone?

Can she bear this?

Moreover, this would mean that she and Tifa would have even less time to be alone together, which was completely different from Tifa asking them to move in. After all, if they moved in, they would be here all the time and would always find opportunities to be alone.

"Oh!" Thinking of this, Shen Ye couldn't help but sigh, and he began to worry about the future.

Not long after, the bus arrived at the seventh block.

After Alice got out of the car, she dragged the reluctant Shen Ye straight to the Seventh Heaven Bar.

Chapter 182! Being a City Hunter in Midgar

……

Because it was still morning, there were naturally no customers in the Seventh Heaven Bar. Only Tifa was inside using the manifest to count the newly delivered drinks and food.

At this time, she heard footsteps coming from the door, and said without raising her head: "I'm sorry, it's not business hours yet, please come back later!"

"Then let's come back later?" Shen Ye had already composed himself halfway and asked with a smile.

Hearing Shen Ye's voice, Tifa immediately dropped the list and pen in her hand, looked up in surprise, opened her arms and was about to fly over.

Then she saw Alice standing next to Shen Ye, and she froze in place.

"You can pretend I don't exist." Alice crossed her arms and said with a smile.

"But I'm not blind!" Tifa curled her lips, picked up the invoice and pen on the ground, put them on the counter, and said, "Sit down for a while, I'll make you some tea."

"Yeah!" Shen Ye nodded, and he and Alice found a table near the back and sat down.

Not long after, Tifa came over with hot tea, put down the cup, and sat opposite Shen Ye.

Shen Ye picked up the teacup and took a sip, but it was too hot for him to taste, so he simply put the cup down and asked, "Why are you alone? Where's Jesse?"

He knew that Jesse would come to the bar to help Tifa when he was free. After all, the entire Avalanche team basically relied on the money Tifa earned from running the bar to support its operations.

"Barrett and the other police officers have gone out to maintain law and order, so ask Jesse to help send Marin to school. She will be back soon." Tifa said, supporting her chin with one hand, looking at Shen Ye.

"Oh, no wonder." Shen Ye showed an understanding expression. Barrett and his men were the vigilantes of the Seventh District. Although their salaries were not high, they had a lot to do. However, this also gave them a high reputation in the Seventh District and they were very respected.

"What about Claude? That guy eats and lives for free at your place, but never thought of coming over to help?" Shen Ye asked, glancing inside the bar.

Tifa noticed that Aerith suddenly had a strange expression on her face when she heard the name Claude, but she didn't care much. She just snorted and said, "That guy went out early in the morning, saying he was looking for a job. Now he's either helping an old lady find a dog, or helping others clean up the monsters that invaded the city."

"He is indeed a qualified mercenary. He can never rest for a moment!" Shen Ye sighed.

"By the way, you came here so early, aren't you just here to talk to me about this?" Tifa looked at Alice with some confusion. If only Shen Ye came here alone, she would definitely not ask this.

"Of course not." Shen Ye shook his head, glanced at Alice and said, "She came here for her work."

"She? Work?" Tifa was even more confused and turned to ask Aerith: "Aren't you selling flowers?"

"Something happened early this morning. My flower garden was destroyed. I... lost my job." Alice said helplessly, "In order to have a full meal, I want to ask if you are still hiring."

How could you be hungry with Shen here? Although she thought so in her heart, Tifa still said: "If you want to recruit people, it's okay, but my small bar can't afford to pay a high salary."

"It doesn't have to be high, just give it as you see fit." Alice said indifferently. She wasn't really doing it for that so-called salary anyway.

However, she herself didn't know why she was doing this. Perhaps she wanted to experience a new life?

"In that case, you can actually start work now." Tifa nodded, and then she remembered something: "But we usually stay open until very late here. Although it won't be very tiring, if you go home alone then..."

"Don't worry, Shen will take me there, nothing will happen." Alice said with a smile.

Tifa was stunned for a moment, the expression on her face changed from confusion to surprise, and finally she pouted as if she was a little angry.

Of course, she also thought of what Shen Ye had thought of before.

Shifting her gaze from Alice's face to Shen Ye's face, Tifa noticed that the other party was also looking at her. In an instant, a large amount of information was exchanged through eye contact, and then the two of them nodded slightly at the same time.

It's time for Alice to move to Block 7!
