I'm the main character in Resident Evil

Chapter 21: Acting Alone

"..."

"what is this?"

Looking at the extra black statue in Javier's hand, Rebecca came up and asked with great curiosity. This statue didn't seem to be a valuable thing. Could it be that they had fought monsters for such a long time just to find this broken thing?

And the owner of the institute is too stingy.

There were a lot of traps and mechanisms set up, and the keys needed to open the rooms were not only weird, but also cheap in design. If she had known this earlier... she might as well have just put two stones on the statue of the Libra goddess.

"That's about it..."

"There should be one last one left. In addition to the black statue, there is also a white statue. If we look carefully, we should be able to find some clues."

Facing Rebecca's complaints,

Javier could only nod helplessly. Although he wanted to say this, there was no way. Things did not go as he wished. If he wanted to leave this broken research institute, finding these props was something he had to do. However, if there was a next time, Javier would definitely go find the lock-picking thief in Raccoon City to learn the lock-picking skills. It would be best if he could get himself a master key or something.

After all, solving puzzles is such a pain in the ass.

If you can,

Javier prefers to choose the simple and crude method of picking locks. Even if he can't learn the skills of picking locks, Javier's tactical backpack will definitely have an electric saw or hydraulic pliers in the future, which can be used to break these annoying traps and locked room doors. If there is a door that won't open, he needs to find inexplicable props. What does it mean...

"and many more……"

"It seems we have missed a place. I remember there is an open room with an elevator inside. If we use it well, we may be able to reach the second floor from the center of the institute's hall."

Just when Javier and Rebecca were thinking hard about how to find the second statue, Billy Cohen suddenly reminded them that it might be okay to let them fight zombies, but solving puzzles... Haha, Rebecca is a very smart little girl, but she was spoiled by Javier. The two of them are typical people who don't use their brains, so it is really difficult for them to find things.

Hearing Billy's reminder,

Javier and Rebecca both had big question marks on their heads.

There were other open rooms, but they had forgotten them.

see,

Billy Cohen held his forehead helplessly and explained calmly:

"You two didn't find it. I found it. I wanted to report it at the time, but Rebecca got there first. Plus, we just had this plague crawler thing, so I almost forgot about it. I just remembered it now with great difficulty."

"Here, this is what I found. It's an old-fashioned crank, like it's used to turn some kind of mechanical device. Now that I think about it... it makes sense. This thing should be used to turn the chain of the elevator. I thought it was used to turn the clock, but it seems I was a little wrong."

While explaining,

Billy Cohen quickly took out a retro metal crank from his pocket. Although it was a little rusty, the wooden pattern on the handle was particularly obvious. The entire handle was also quite smooth, as if it had been covered with patina. It looked like it had been there for many years.

Plus the gap at the front end of the crank,

Indeed, as Billy Cohen said, this is probably a key used to turn some kind of mechanical device.

And took out this thing,

Billy Cohen also breathed a sigh of relief.

This thing is too heavy, just like carrying a brick in your pocket. Now you have to be thankful that it is useful, because Billy Cohen doesn't want to keep carrying it in his pocket. It is too troublesome to move. In addition, the protruding part of it makes people think he is a big bird boy. He doesn't have the hobby of adjusting the throttle handle, and he will not carry a thick electric baton to show off his power.

Listen to Billy Cohen.

Javier and Rebecca looked at each other.

They hurriedly walked towards the so-called new room. This time, they were not too cautious. As expected, under Billy Cohen's guidance, the three of them soon arrived at the new scene. There really was the elevator that Billy Cohen mentioned, but its style was very retro. It was obvious that an elevator could be installed in the institute, but they had to use an ancient elevator.

Javier was really confused about the thinking of the scientists of the Umbrella Corporation. Did they think that the retro elevator was safer? At least it wouldn't be like an elevator, where someone could just run around in the institute once they were hacked?

thinking about it,

Javier was too lazy to care about this any more.

Soon, Rebecca and Billy Cohen got on the lift. He took the vintage crank and inserted it into the lift device next to him. This antique was not only troublesome but also very laborious. The operating method used was the oldest chain lift. No... the chain lift was not old. What was really old was that it required manpower to start.

This is the most fucked up thing -

Rebecca and Billy Cohen are not very heavy.

But Javier still had to use all his strength to twist the crank. With the continuous operation of the gears and chains, the antique elevator slowly rose. Javier's face under the gas mask turned red. It was really laborious.

"..."

“Crack, crack—!!!”

Accompanied by the crisp sound of gears and chains,

The entire elevator finally reached the second floor. Because of its unique design, the elevator was probably used for single action. Because it needed manpower to turn, it was impossible for the elevator to allow three people to reach the second floor at the same time. One person had to be left behind to turn it.

And now,

Javier, Rebecca and Billy Cohen acted separately, and Javier had to find another way to reunite with them. At least for now, it was impossible for him to secretly eat the rubber fruit and turn into a rubber man, standing in the elevator, stretching his hand to the crank next to it and turning it to send himself to the second floor.

"..."

"Billy, protect Rebecca. I'll meet up with you guys soon!"

Looking at the gap in the elevator on the second floor, Javier knew that the two men had not run far away and were still concerned about how to get up. However, Javier did not care at all. Instead, he earnestly instructed Billy Cohen to protect Rebecca.

And Javier himself,

He continued to look for clues in the central hall of the research institute on the first floor.

Although Javier felt very uneasy about the first separate operation with Rebecca, it was not his own uneasiness, but his uneasiness for Rebecca, the little girl. Without the burden of Rebecca and Billy Cohen, Javier felt relieved after acting alone.

and,

This would also allow Javier to have more time to search everything in the institute. Moreover, there were still many zombies and plague crawlers on the first floor of the institute that had not been cleaned up. This would allow Javier to get more points. He was worried about having no way to make money!

Chapter 22 The Old Gentleman at the Drain

Cadre Development Institute——

【Ding--】

[Kill 50 zombies, 20 plague bats, 2 zombie hellhounds, 8 plague crawlers, and 20 mutant leeches in total, with a total reward of 100 points. Clean up the center of the Cadre Training Institute hall.]

[Congratulations on your first title of "Biochemical Hunter". The effect increases the chance of encountering zombies by 2% and the chance of finding items and supplies by 1%. Please keep working hard——]

In the center of the lobby on the first floor,

Javier found a rag to wipe the blood stains on his gas mask, and after taking a deep breath of satisfaction, he leaned against the wall. At this moment, Javier's body was covered in blood and mucus, and the smell was extremely foul. It was all caused by the dirty blood of zombies and plague reptiles.

My whole body was numb and my bulletproof vest had a hole in it. It seemed easy... but only Javier knew the actual process. I almost died here.

Just now,

After splitting up with Rebecca and Billy Cohen, Javier began to clean up the cadre training institute. Javier cleaned up all the open doors in the center of the 1F hall from inside to outside. There was no zombie left. All of them turned into real corpses lying on the ground.

Because of this action,

The electronic mechanical female voice of the golden finger in Javier's mind came again. From the Zodiac train in the Arklay Mountains to the current cadre training institute, Javier has eliminated a total of about 100 biological and chemical weapons, and thus received the reward for his achievement.

But listening to the reward in my mind,

Javier rolled his eyes speechlessly. What is this called a biochemical hunter? Is this CF CrossFire? Why don't you have a ghost hunter or an ultimate hunter?

And the effect of this title is also very annoying, it is simply more harmful than beneficial, it is completely useless, the probability of encountering zombies is increased by 2%, but the attribute of obtaining props and materials is only increased by 1%? This is too stingy, so I have to kill more zombies to pick up a prop, right? What a crappy title, it is a disaster for novices,

The probability of killing zombies in exchange for supplies is only 1%, which is too much of a loss. When faced with this title, Javier threw it aside without hesitation. Now it is completely unusable.

after all--

"..."

"We've used too many bullets. We need to save some next time..."

Javier took off the tactical backpack on his back and could clearly feel that the weight of his backpack was getting lighter. Because of the previous cleanup operation, Javier had wasted a lot of bullets. If he didn't save them, he would be out of ammunition when fighting the boss station later.

So Javier didn't want to encounter more zombies. He was running out of bullets, so what was the point of exchanging supplies?

Too complacent.

Javier did not encounter a grid crisis in the biochemical crisis, but instead encountered a shortage of supplies. It was so embarrassing, but there was nothing he could do... He was not a hamster player who always wanted to stock up on supplies. Later he found out that he had more bullets than he could use up, and it was a pity to keep them.

But now,

He really had to save some money. The tactical backpack could hold 30 kilograms, but there were only magnum bullets and big green bananas left in it. Javier had almost used up all the shotgun bullets, and there were only more than 20 rounds left. He had to save some things for himself!

"correct……"

"It seems that the gasoline barrels brought out from the storage room have not been used yet! You can make some Molotov cocktails with you. Although the power of Molotov cocktails is not great against zombies, they are very effective against those plague crawlers. Just be careful not to burn down this research institute."

When I was worrying about how to solve the shortage of supplies,

Javier suddenly thought of the gasoline barrels left in the storage room when they found the black statue. He could just pour any bottle or can into the barrel and plug it with a rag. The method of using a Molotov cocktail is very simple, but this type of weapon is usually very unsafe and can easily burn oneself. But there is no other way... who makes Molotov cocktails cost-effective?

after all,

During the First and Second World Wars, Molotov cocktails were still the most practical weapons used by various countries to deal with armored vehicles and tanks. Even if there were no strict chemical agents as fuel for Molotov cocktails, they could be made by mixing some ordinary spirits and gasoline. It was a practical weapon that everyone, from the elderly to children, could use.

Therefore, with ammunition and food running out,

Javier's choice of Molotov cocktails as backup weapons is a very good one. He is afraid that the research institute will be burned down. Besides, Molotov cocktails can do a lot of extra damage to insect BOWs, so it is no problem to use them in boss battles.

soon--

Javier finished making the Molotov cocktail, found a few broken wine bottles, and used cloth strips to plug the bottle mouths tightly to prevent gasoline from leaking out. If it really leaked out and flowed onto his body and ignited, he would be doomed, tantamount to setting himself on fire.

Four Molotov cocktails.

That should be enough.

As Javier continued to search the central hall of the 1F, perhaps because his title as a biochemical hunter worked, he suddenly found a new item in a missed room. It was a white microfilm with the number A written on it. It was very well hidden and should be some kind of key item. Javier quickly put it away.

This made Javier sigh,

This Biochemical Hunter title seems to be quite useful. I just complained for a while and the effect came into effect. The probability of encountering props and supplies has increased a lot. Although it is only 1%, it seems to be very useful now.

That means the probability of encountering zombies increases by 2%...

Humph, this is a broken setting, let’s not mention it——

"Ta Tata..."

After confirming that there was really nothing valuable in the center of the graduate student hall on the 1st floor, Javier chose to leave. The elevator that Rebecca and Billy had used to leave required two people to operate it separately. One person stood on the elevator while the other turned the gear chain.

But Javier thought for a long time.

Finally found my own way,

It's very simple... just roll the cloth into a rope, and then wrap it around the crank of the chain lift. Javier has just tried it. As long as the cloth is long and thick enough, when you sit on the elevator later, you can still use the cloth to remotely pull the crank and send yourself to the second floor.

In addition...

Javier also wrapped another strip of cloth around his shoulders.

In case the elevator stops working midway, in this way... even if it is halfway through, Javier can take the cloth strip on his shoulder and play a Western cowboy role, like a mighty and majestic man lassoing horses. He can directly put the cloth strip on the load-bearing object above, and then do some Tarzan's stunts to climb up in an instant, and it's done!

Javier will not allow himself to become an outsider.

Rebecca and Billy, the two protagonists, ran away, and he continued to stay... wouldn't he become a supporting role with the rest of the Beta team? How could he tolerate this? Although Rebecca also had the attribute of being a nemesis for teammates, it was at least better than staying away from her.

Although being close to Rebecca would bring trouble, he could still survive. But if he was too far away... he would be doomed!

……

And on the other side-

Rebecca and Billy team up to work together.

The progress of the work was indeed twice the result with half the effort. Soon they found a lot of clues and props, and began to further solve the puzzle of the maze of the research institute. According to the clues... Rebecca and Billy also found the location of the key to the research institute, in a huge abandoned pool.

The pool was full of green fungi and moss, and the smell was extremely foul. There was even a huge iron gate inside the pool. This should be the place where the institute discharged sewage, otherwise the environment would not be so dirty.

It's a pity that,

What Rebecca didn't know was that this was actually the residence of an old gentleman. This old gentleman was extremely perverted, and he was very skilled at killing girls with one hand in his arms. If Rebecca, a little girl, tried to seduce her, she would definitely be attacked and molested by this old gentleman -!
