I'm the main character in Resident Evil

"I see, Rebecca, let me take a look at this document first..."

"The purpose of the training of the Cadre Institute is to train all highly efficient talents for the Umbrella Company. Is it a pyramid scheme? Discipline and unity... Tsk, this is nonsense literature. Let's take a look at the following. Hmm... Both meetings are classified as confidential level 1 and will be held at the following locations: F2 West Operations Command Room, F Southeast Conference Room. Hmm, it seems that these two clues are more useful."

In a corner,

Javier picked up the torn document on the table and glanced at its contents. He finally found some key information among a pile of useless words. Two confidential meetings had been held here, in the combat command room on the first floor and the conference room on the second floor. It seemed that investigating these two places would yield more useful information.

"Hey, Billy!"

"How's your situation? If everything's fine...we're leaving now, heading to Rebecca's place. There's no point in staying in the middle of the hall any longer, so let's explore other places!"

Javier memorized the information on the damaged document, raised his head, and quickly reminded Billy who was searching in the distance. After all, there was no way to stay here, so it would be better to search around and maybe find some unexpected clues.

"understood……"

After hearing what Javier and Rebecca said,

Billy Cohen nodded and replied, then he took the bolt crank from the cabinet. He did not gain nothing, at least this retro-style prop similar to a clock crank, Billy Cohen's intuition told him that it would be useful to him later.

after all,

This research institute is like a maze.

Everything needs a puzzle, who knows if this thing is one of the props, so... After putting the crank in his pocket, Billy Cohen dragged his injured leg and quickly followed the direction of Javier and Rebecca.

Soon the three of them arrived at the door Rebecca mentioned.

This door does not require a key, but the danger inside is unknown, so you must be careful and vigilant -!

"..."

"According to the previous arrangement, I will lead the way, and the two of you should be alert to the sides and the top of your heads, and be careful not to be attacked."

Before opening the door, Javier put on his gas mask again and loaded all the bullets. He held the door handle with one hand and held the shotgun against the crack of the door with the other hand, ready to shoot at any time. At the same time, he gave a final reminder to Rebecca and Billy behind him,

Although in Resident Evil 0,

There are no elite monsters like the Lickers that move at high speed, but the ceiling above is still full of dangers, such as crows that have eaten the rotten flesh of zombies and become extremely aggressive, as well as giant bats and baboons infected with the T virus, and plague crawlers that resemble locusts. They are all the first generation of Umbrella Corporation's test products. These things like to jump down from the top of your head.

Therefore, it was very necessary for Javier to let Rebecca and Billy Cohen pay attention to the ceiling above their heads. After all, he didn't want to feel the taste of being pounced on by plague reptiles, and these reptiles were about the same size as large dogs, which was really disgusting.

"Clang-!"

immediately,

A clear sound, after confirming that the preparations are complete,

Javier opened the door.

What came into view was a long corridor, which was pitch black and covered with spider webs and dust. Only the moonlight shining through the innermost window glass could barely make out the layout inside. There were many shelves on the walls, and many items and guns and bullets were stored on the shelves. It was probably guessed that this was a storage room.

but,

"Uh...ho ho...uh..."

Just took a step inside,

Immediately, I heard a familiar roar.

As expected, at the corner of the corridor in the storage room, a zombie dressed in military uniform suddenly walked slowly. He was wearing a tactical vest and helmet, his skin was pale and rotten, his eyes were white, and his face was full of bite marks. He raised his arms and staggered towards Javier and the other two.

Looking at the soldier zombies in front of him,

Javier shook his head helplessly.

He raised his shotgun and gave him a few rounds of popcorn,

"boom--!!!"

There were loud noises.

The trigger and joystick of the pump-action shotgun were quickly pulled, and with several splashing sparks, bullets hit the face of the soldier zombie in front of him. The whole person was instantly sprayed several meters away, and the bulletproof vest on his body was all blown to the ground, emitting a foul smell of blood.

Javier recalled the slow movement of the soldier zombie just now.

I can't help but sigh that there isn't much money in this research institute. The speed of zombies' movements is partly determined by their species. For example, Lickers attack very quickly no matter what the situation is. But generally speaking, it is determined by their satiety.

I have explained before,

The virus can greatly enhance the host's body functions and accelerate the body's metabolism, which can speed up the healing of injured parts. However, the cost is a sharp consumption of energy, requiring the host to eat frantically. As long as the host is alive, the only goal in his mind is eating.

When there is no food,

The zombie's body will enter a state of lethargy, and the body will start to move slowly. In order to reduce energy consumption, the whole body will begin to enter an alternative pseudo-hibernation. The soldier zombie in front of him is still moving slowly even after seeing people. It is estimated that he has been trapped in it for a long time and is so hungry that he has no energy left.

That's why Javier lamented that the research institute was not profitable. If it were outside, this soldier zombie would at least be a small elite monster, and it should be chasing people everywhere like Bolt, the 100-meter sprinter. After all, there is enough food outside!

"laugh--!!!"

however,

Just at this time,

Above the heads of Javier and the other two,

Suddenly, there was a shrill sound of insects chirping. Two plague reptiles hanging on the ceiling and walls suddenly opened their mouthparts, secreting disgusting acid from their mouths, and then they flapped their wings and sickle claws on their limbs and swooped down!

ps: Because the plot of the puzzle props is complicated, I will speed up and ignore some puzzle processes for the sake of the smooth plot. Please forgive me. That’s it for today. I will continue to splash water.

Chapter 20: Black Statue

"laugh--!"

"call out--!!!"

There was a sharp buzzing sound in my ears.

Two huge plague reptiles suddenly swooped down! They were extremely large, as big as a sheep, covered with a hard yellow-green shell, and under their dark eyes were mouthparts that kept opening and closing, as sharp as two pairs of guillotines, especially the barbed spikes on the backs of their limbs, which looked as scary as saws.

With the trembling of wings,

It's chilling, like a small airplane engine, rushing forward. This is the first generation of biochemical insect BOW created by the Umbrella Corporation.

There was once a saying in the biological world that the strongest animals in the world are not the so-called lions and tigers, nor are they brown bears and elephants. These so-called animals are known as top predators only because of their huge bodies.

As for the arsenal,

The advantages of mammals are not obvious, the most typical ones are fangs and claws, and the suppression of their body size, which barely allows them to squeeze into the ranks of top predators.

Another animal,

They are masters of the arsenal, and every part of their body has evolved for hunting. It is only because of their tiny size that they are not among the top predators. But even so, in this tiny world that is difficult to detect with the naked eye, they are still the absolute kings of the small world!

no doubt……

This animal is an insect——!

Most insects have their own unique arsenal, such as venomous bees, with large jaws and tail stingers that are as sharp as vices. In addition, their extremely fast flying speed, large groups and movement patterns make them very difficult and deadly insects that you don't want to provoke.

Its mantis-like, saw-like mouthparts, two rows of retractable scimitars in its hands, unique limb structure, and flexibly movable eyes have earned it the title of a martial arts master. It can launch an extremely fast attack at lightning speed!

Insects undoubtedly have a stronger arsenal than mammals, including the huge strength and steel armor of rhinoceros beetles. Therefore, biological scientists believe that if insects can be as large as mammals, they will probably become the overlords of the earth and even the universe.

Because of this speculation,

In later movies, TV series and games, there were many insect monsters and powerful cosmic races such as the Zerg.

therefore,

Insect-like biological weapons BOW are also the most difficult monsters to fight in the early stages. This is because ordinary pistol bullets can hardly cause any fatal damage due to their speed and solid shell. And compared to zombies, this type of insect monster seems to be more terrifying!

Of course,

As for why Umbrella Corporation did not produce insect-type biochemical BOWs in large quantities in the early days, the main reason is that there are too many defects. Strong combat power is the advantage of insect BOWs, but its weak fire and fear of various pesticides are its unavoidable defects. As long as the dosage is increased, any drug on the market can kill these insects, but zombies are not affected.

Another issue is infection control.

The infection efficiency of zombies is very high. Generally, it only takes one person biting another to complete the infection. In addition, some zombies can be controlled. After all, zombies are still human brains, which are very open.

But insects...

Hey,

The brain structure of insects is different, so it is difficult to control the brain of insects, unless Umbrella Corporation finds a group control system like the Plaka parasite, just like bees, there are queen bees and worker bees, and they rely on information sensors to control them.

But most insect genes don't respond to this. After all, some insect species have never had the habit of living in groups since the primitive times, and they all hunt alone. It is difficult for them to suddenly start obeying the habits of bees just by implanting certain genes. This is difficult... as difficult as artificially evolving species!

The most serious problem is infection.

Insect infection is not as simple as zombie bites, because insects do not have blood, and it is impossible to spread the virus into the human body through blood. Therefore, the only way for insects to infect is to lay eggs and parasites.

These insects will lay their eggs in the human body, allowing their eggs to absorb nutrients from the human body and then hatch again. This is the only way for insects to infect, so it is very cumbersome and troublesome. If Javier was a senior executive of the Umbrella Corporation, he probably wouldn't have chosen to focus on studying insect BOW from the beginning.

……

"Watch your head!"

"Rebecca, Billy, get out of the way and then shoot!"

Hearing the buzzing of the plague reptiles overhead, Javier quickly spoke up to remind them that these two plague reptiles were at the top and would be very troublesome to deal with. He could not just shoot them in the face with a shotgun right from the start. This would be a very irrational move.

This is not a game.

It's too ridiculous that after killing the plague reptile by shooting it in the face, nothing would happen if it were hit randomly on the body. There is no magical biological automatic recycling system. Not to mention whether it would be okay if the sheep-sized plague reptile hit it, what if these two plague reptiles are not dead and suddenly pounce on it and want to die together?

Rebecca and Billy's equipment was not as sophisticated as Javier's. Javier was fully armed to the teeth, with a helmet, gas mask, tactical vest and various protective gear. Even if he was bitten, he couldn't break through the defense for a while.

But Rebecca and Billy were different. They only had a tactical vest and thin clothes on. If they were pounced on by the plague crawlers, the sharp mouthparts could cut their necks at any time, and blood would splatter everywhere.

therefore,

the best way,

They retreated and dodged one after another, and waited for the two plague crawlers to reach the ground, and then launched fire from the front and back!

"Jump--!"

as predicted,

Rebecca and Billy instantly understood what Javier meant, and quickly stepped back, pressing their backs against the wall. At the same time, they pulled out their pistols and shotguns and launched a fierce fire attack on the plague crawlers that suddenly fell to the ground with a "bang"!

"Crack!"

“Bang—bang—bang—!!!”

There were bursts of gunfire.

The bullets from the police 9mm pistol in Rebecca's hand whistled out in an instant, and the dense bullets shot at the plague reptile like raindrops, but unfortunately, most of the bullets could not penetrate the body of the plague reptile and were blocked by its hard shell. Although they did penetrate the armor defense, they only stayed in a small part of the shell.

There is no way to create the so-called bullet cavity effect...!

It was as if the bullet had sunk into the skin of the arm.

Such attacks could not cause fatal damage at all, but instead caused violent attacks from these plague reptiles.

"laugh……"

"Whoosh whoosh-!!!"

A sharp buzzing sound came from its mouth again, and with the trembling of its wings, the two plague reptiles aimed at Rebecca who had just attacked them, and suddenly opened their sharp mouthparts and swooped down at her. The speed was very fast, and only a black shadow could be seen, like a small plane, trying to cut Rebecca into pieces.

"I advise you not to come here..."

"Damn insects, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you've grown bigger. Go to hell!"

“Bang… Boom——!!!”

The lever of the M1887 Holy Flame in his hand was shaken quickly. Billy Cohen murmured with determination in his eyes, and then he pulled the trigger. This old-fashioned shotgun burst out its own Holy Flame. Gray smoke and flames spewed out from the muzzle at the same time. Several scattered bullets flew out and all penetrated the body of the plague reptile in front of him.

"hiss……"

Like a sob.

The moment the bullet penetrated its body, foul-smelling green liquid spilled onto the ground. The two plague reptiles were directly turned into pieces and died motionless on the ground. Looking at the dead plague reptiles in front of them, Billy and Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief. This ghost research institute really deserves to die. They actually developed so many inhuman biological weapons!

And on the other side,

Javier was relieved when he saw Billy Cohen and Rebecca successfully deal with the plague crawlers.

but,

quickly,

Javier found what he wanted in the corner of the shelf in the storage room, a barrel of gasoline and a black statue. The black statue had a broken head and ordinary wings, just like a fallen angel from hell. This was undoubtedly one of the important props needed for the statue of the Libra goddess in the central hall!
