Chapter 16: Vacation?

"Now is not the time to worry about those things." Leon walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk, which contained a large amount of weapons and supplies.

"This? Isn't the preparation a bit too thorough?" Claire was surprised again.

"Because the original plan was for the two of us, we took less weapons and supplies." Leon said calmly, "But now that there are three of us, it may be easier to carry them."

"'A little less'?" Claire felt like she was hearing some kind of international joke.

"Take up any weapons you need," Leon said.

Claire hesitated, but still took a grenade launcher and enough bullets, including some Magnum bullets, because the revolver she carried with her was capable of firing Magnum bullets.

Seeing that Claire only had so many weapons, Leon wanted to persuade her to get some more powerful ones, but after thinking about it, he didn't want the ability of his wallet to be known.

He didn't know who Claire was, or whether she was a good person. In short, the first impression of Claire here was very bad for him.

In the end times, people have to be on guard, which is another point summarized in those zombie movies.

Xu Lun knew that Lyon had a lot of supplies, so she didn't skimp.

The three of them were heavily armed and charged towards the Raccoon City Police Department. Every time they saw a zombie on the way, Leon and the others would kill it without hindering their speed.

After turning a few corners, Leon saw a huge building with the words Raccoon City Police Department written on the outside.

"Is this the Raccoon City Police Department? It doesn't look like a police station. It's too big. No wonder Chris kept telling me this place is like a museum." Claire couldn't help but complain again.

Leon didn't want to reply. He closed the gate to the yard behind him and opened the door to the police station lobby, which revealed a magnificent scene.

The interior of the police station is decorated with exquisite reliefs and columns. The most eye-catching thing is a huge statue of a goddess that can be seen as soon as you enter the door.

“…It feels more like a museum when you come in.”

The strange thing is that there is no one in this hall.

"Hello, is anyone there?" Leon shouted.

No one responded to Leon's words.

Leon had to search on his own and saw a computer placed on a supply box.

Leon operated it and found that it was a surveillance camera, but even in the surveillance camera, he could not see the existence of a person.

Leon's heart, which was originally full of confidence, slowly sank, and finally, he saw a figure.

It was a police officer who asked for support in front of the camera. He said he found a way to leave. He was in the east corridor. He fought with the zombies and was almost bitten, but he finally broke free.

Leon immediately pulled up the map of the eastern corridor and headed there without saying a word.

In the aisle, the iron gate was tightly closed with "Stay Away" written on it. Lyon pulled down the gate next to it, and the iron gate only rose a little bit in the end.

Leon and Claire looked at each other, and the two of them pulled the iron gate open with force.

After entering the east district, he found that the road was pitch black and the eastern corridor seemed to have lost its power supply, which made Leon feel a little uneasy.

But he came to save people, and his purpose was clear. He did not walk around the hall and around the pillars to get bullets, nor did he go to the toilet to get first aid spray. He had a clear goal along the way and went straight to the duty room.

"Open it quickly..." Police officer Elliot, who was holding a notebook, hadn't finished speaking when the iron door in front of him was suddenly opened. He looked at the three strangers in front of him in surprise. Before he could say anything, the zombies behind him chased after him.

In desperation, Leon kicked the police officer and the zombie in front of him away with a sweeping kick, and then shot the zombie again.

There were other zombies behind, but Leon blasted them away with a shotgun and solved them all in one go.

“Cough cough cough cough…” Elliot, whose brain was a little blackout, was pulled up by Leon, “Are you okay?”

Elliot had to calm down quickly and responded, "I...I'm fine."

"What happened here?" Leon asked.

"You... who are you?" Elliot shook his brain, which was full of stars after the shock. With that kick just now, he felt like he was about to see his grandmother.

"I'm Leon, Leon Kennedy," Leon replied.

“Are you the rookie?” Hearing this, Elliot looked at Leon in disbelief, and then a little sadly, “Why did you come here? You shouldn’t be here.”

"But I'm here now. Is there anyone else here now?" Leon asked.

"Marvin. Marvin should still be alive. We should be able to see him if we go to the lobby now." Elliot said, "My name is Elliot. I got a notebook that records the secrets of this police station. Maybe we can work together to leave here."

"Officer Elliot, right? Do you know where Chris went? Chris Redfield?" At this time, Claire stepped forward and interrupted. Her goal has always been clear.

"Chris? Who are you?"

"Claire, Chris's sister."

"Chris, it seems he went on vacation to Europe. He left a few weeks ago." Elliot replied, not noticing Claire's constipated expression.

In fact, it wasn't just Claire who looked unhappy. The other two also had bad faces. Claire came to this dangerous place for her brother, but it turned out that the other party might have gone to Europe and never wanted to leave. What a psychological gap!

"Vacation... Well, at least he's not here." Claire took some time to sort out her disappointment, then looked at Leon, "I might be able to help you do what you want now."

"..." Leon was silent, and he was increasingly confused about why he came here. He had been thinking that no matter what, he could at least save one or two people in Raccoon City. However, he now discovered that there were only a few people in the police station. If even the police station was in this state, he didn't even dare to imagine what other places were like.

"Let's go find Marvin. I don't know how he is doing. It's very dangerous here. There are not only zombies, but also something more terrifying." Elliot led the others back to the hall.

"Something else more terrifying?" Leon checked his weapons. The Chicago typewriter, grenade launcher, and rocket launcher should be able to deal with that more terrifying thing.

"It's a monster that's shaped like a frog, but has no skin and no vision. It can climb walls and is very fast. It's hard to kill it, but if you're quiet, you shouldn't alert the other party." Elliot explained.

"Can it be killed with a weapon?"

"Yes, but the defense is very strong, and the firepower required may be a bit large. We don't know how to kill one."

Chapter 17: A Little Stand-In Shock

"Elliot, are you back?" Hearing the footsteps in the east corridor, Marvin Branner, covering his injured abdomen, walked to the door of the east corridor. What he didn't expect was that the first person to come out of the corridor was not the policeman, but a pistol pointed at his head.

"Wait, wait, Leon." Elliot immediately ran out to stop Leon. He found that this newcomer was a bit too extreme. He wanted to kill the injured Marvin without saying a word. He was a bit like a murderer on earth.

"Leon, is that the new guy?" Marvin looked at Leon with relief, but also a little regretful. "You are right. If you encounter someone like me who is scratched by zombies, you should kill me immediately. I don't think I need to say more. If you meet them, no matter who they are or what clothes they wear, you must kill them."

"So, how are you injured?" Leon heard something from the conversation.

"I'm sorry..." Marvin didn't say it, but Leon knew what was going on.

Marvin must have died because he saw the policemen turned into zombies and did not take action, so he was soft-hearted.

"You shouldn't have come, Leon. I actually sent you a message asking you not to come again." Marvin said, "But since you are here... you have to find a way to get out."

Marvin took the notebook that Elliot had been holding from his hand. "Eliot believes that by collecting those reliefs, the secret passage of the police station can be opened. These three reliefs should be in various places in this police station. I should be hopeless. You guys must escape."

Marvin accepted his fate calmly.

"I'll find a way to bring you along." Leon walked to the computer and started operating it. "Apart from you, are there any other people?"

"No more." Marvin said, "Elliot was looking for a way out. He didn't evacuate like the others, and ended up staying with me. I'm injured and infected now, and I'll be a burden to you. You must find a way out."

[Leon: @Hinata Hajime, Hinata-san, I really don't want to bother you, but can I ask you something? My friend has been bitten. What should I do if I want him to avoid being infected and becoming a zombie?]

[Hinata Hajime: In that case, you should have gone to the Raccoon City Police Department, right? Go through the secret passage of the Raccoon City Police Department, then pass through Kendo's weapon shop, and then go to the sewer. Through the sewer, you can find the underground laboratory of Umbrella Corporation, where you should be able to make a vaccine for the T virus. Or you can go to the Raccoon City Hospital to find the vaccine.]

[Leon: Umbrella? T-virus vaccine? T-virus? ]

[Leon: Although I really want to ask what these are, the most important thing is not this. Marvin is seriously injured and may be infected. Is there anything I can do to help him? ]

[Hinata Hajime: Let's try some herbs. You can find some special herbs in the Arklay Mountains in Raccoon City. Green herbs can heal injuries, red herbs can make the recovery effect stronger, and blue herbs can detoxify. Although blue herbs may not be able to completely eliminate the T virus, they should be able to inhibit it. These three herbs can be found in the police station.]

[Leon: Is it for internal or external use? ]

【Master: It should be taken internally and applied externally. Only in this way can it be considered healthy.】

"I see." Leon breathed a sigh of relief and began to ask Marvin, "Marvin, do you have any special plants here? There are green, red, and blue ones. I heard they are specialties of Raccoon City."

“…Are you talking about the potted plants? There are some over there?” Marvin said weakly, thinking that Leon was still too naive. “I don’t know who donated the potted plants. It seems to be related to Irons. Irons is the police chief. He betrayed us and moved our weapons and supplies somewhere else. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been so easily breached by those zombies.”

Leon immediately found the herbs Marvin mentioned, picked them, and mixed them into a paste. "Marvin, eat these."

"Why?" Looking at the paste in front of him, Marvin was very confused, "Why do you want me to eat grass?"

"Don't worry about it, just eat." Kujo Jolyne was too lazy to talk to Marvin anymore, and stuffed a handful of herbal paste into Marvin's mouth, while Leon lifted Marvin's clothes and applied the herbal paste on the wound.

Marvin didn't know why they did what they did, but then he found that his groggy mind became much clearer, the wound on his waist didn't hurt as much anymore, and a cool feeling slowly came over him, as if caressing his soul.

Marvin thought about it and looking at the expressions of Leon and the others, it seemed that his current condition was not a last-ditch recovery.

"It's time for us to go now. Marvin, we won't abandon you. I know where there is medicine that can treat the virus that you are infected with." Leon breathed a sigh of relief. If Marvin really died in front of him, Leon would really not know why he came to Raccoon City.

"..." Marvin really wanted to ask Leon where he got the news, but he kept his mouth shut in the end. Everyone has their own secrets, and at least now Leon is trying very hard to save him.

"Now we should find those reliefs and put them on the door so that we can leave through the secret passage." Elliot interrupted.

"I don't think it's necessary to go through so much trouble." Kujo Jolyne had been studying the panel where the relief was placed and Elliot's notebook. She pressed her hands on the relief, but in fact her body disintegrated. Countless silk threads formed the shape of the relief and pressed down tightly.

Then, the platform in front of him where the relief was placed changed, leaving a staircase leading downwards with a door.

"How did you do it?" Claire felt that Jolyne Kujo must be hiding some secret from her.

"Don't ask any more questions." Leon asked Marvin, "Marvin, do you need help? Should we go?"

"For now, it shouldn't be necessary." After using the herbal mixture, Marvin's physical condition improved a lot.

Leon didn't ask any more questions and walked down on his own. He found a secret base, a place like an office. On the seat in the office, a cute little girl was sleeping.

"Who is this girl?" Leon hesitated, walked forward and woke up the sleeping blonde girl.

The girl woke up and was startled. She was about to scream when she saw Leon in front of her.

"Don't worry, I'm not one of those monsters." Leon comforted, "I'm here to save you."

Chapter 18 I am a prophet and the pope is a wolf

"Credo, why do you accept the power of the devil?" Nero asked angrily.

Hearing Nero's question, Credo's face froze instantly, and he drew out his Durandal, placing the sword across Nero's neck, "How did you know that?"

"Answer me, why do you want to accept the power of the devil! Have you forgotten how you and Jillie's parents died?" Nero shouted.

This sentence made Credo's already bad expression freeze and worsen further. He stared at Nero intently, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

"This is not the power of the devil, this is the power of angels!" Credo said stubbornly.

"In fact, angels are another group of people. There are indeed angels in this world, but they are not the ones you have come into contact with. You are indeed using the power of the devil to perform a ritual to return to heaven." Hinata Hajime interrupted the conversation at this time. Credo was not actually a bad person, so Hinata felt that they could mediate the conflict.

"Who are you? You even know the ascension ceremony!?" Credo was very alert to Hinata Hajime, who had unknown origins but could still recall the secret ascension ceremony of their cult, and he almost attacked Hinata.

Nero naturally angrily wanted to stand in front of Credo, not only to get an explanation, but also to protect his friend.

"No need to worry, Credo. Let me introduce myself. I'm Hinata Hajime, a prophet." Hinata gave Nero a reassuring look.

"Prophet?" Credo frowned. In fact, he could still accept this title. After all, there were demons and witches in their world. He heard that there were also angels. But he didn't know whether Hinata Hajime was a wolf pretending to be a prophet.

"I know a lot about your cult, including the Monster Research Institute you built under the Castle of Destiny, the artificial hell built by Agnas, and I also know about your posture and abilities after your ascension. More importantly, I know your savior plan and the Pope's true purpose." Hinata Hajime overcame his inner tension and spoke calmly. Even he admired his own psychological quality.

"The Savior Plan...you know even this?" Credo couldn't say that he completely believed it, but he was able to listen to some of it. However, he was still mostly skeptical and still had a lot of hostility towards Hinata Hajime.

"I know who you are, Credo, and I also know that your loyalty is not simply to the Order and the Pope, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I not be completely loyal to the Pope!?" Credo was a little shocked and angry.

He was afraid that he had been completely seen through. Even though he couldn't believe it, he couldn't control himself in which direction to think.

“You know that there are often shameful things within the sect, and you also know that your parents died as demonized residents who failed to return to heaven, but you have been enduring it all the time because of the beautiful world that the Pope described to you, right?

"The Pope described to you a beautiful world where the Savior is the ultimate weapon to destroy demons, and all demons are destroyed, so that everyone in the world can live equally, right?"

Credo's eyes widened as wide as possible. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still surprised.

“It’s a wonderful ideal, but I’m sorry, Mr. Credo, the Pope doesn’t actually intend to do that. Maybe he once had this ideal, but now he is just using it to convince you in order to take advantage of you.

"What he wants to do is not to save the world, but to rule the world. Using the absolute force of the savior and the expressive power of destroying demons, he uses the influence of religion to rule over the people of the world and brainwash them."

"You are lying!" Credo said this almost subconsciously. He couldn't believe that the goal he had been striving for for so long was to let the Pope rule the world and enslave mankind. You know, he became a devil for this ideal and concealed the news that his parents were killed by someone who failed the rebirth ceremony.

Hinata Hajime's words were simply denying the meaning of his existence.

——Even though he himself knows that many things are wrong, sometimes it is really difficult to stop things.

"Whether I am lying or not, Mr. Credo, isn't that something you can understand the most? The cult recklessly used ordinary people for experiments, opened the gates of hell, and allowed demons to kill ordinary people. Do you think that the cult and the pope who allow these things to happen are the ones who will work hard to achieve the truly peaceful world you described?

"Not only did he use you, he also wanted to use your sister, Jillie, to threaten Nero."

"Why?" Hearing the name Jillie, Credo, who was about to lose his mind, quickly calmed himself down as much as possible. No matter what, he couldn't let his only sister get hurt. "Why do you want to threaten Nero with Jillie? What's wrong with Nero?"

"Nero is actually the grandson of Sparta. He also has Spartan blood.
