I'm the main character in Resident Evil

……

the other side,

Inside the floating church

After Rebecca's defibrillation treatment, Manuela's heart, which was about to stop beating, barely recovered a little bit of vitality, and her weak body also recovered a little bit of physical strength due to the replenishment of medicine. She was no longer as tired as when she was fleeing in the rain forest before.

I have saved my life from the gates of hell...

"Um...uh..."

Manuela, who had been sleeping for a while, slowly woke up.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, her throat moved slightly, and she suddenly smelled the aroma of food. Unconsciously, her stomach began to growl. There was no doubt that Manuela, who had not eaten for three days and three nights, was very hungry.

Her only food was the fruits that fell from the rainforest. She had never taken any protein supplements. So when she smelled the aroma of food, her stomach started to rumble.

This made Manuela, who had been planning to pretend to sleep and observe the surrounding situation, feel embarrassed. She could only helplessly slowly open her eyes.

What caught her eye was,

It was Rebecca who was always paying attention to her physical condition and Rebecca's very surprised expression. As a doctor, Rebecca was happiest when her dying patient woke up.

"Javier, she's awake!"

"Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort in your body? Do you have any strange heart sensations, such as shortness of breath? How's your stomach? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"

Rebecca approached Manuela and asked with great concern. However, Rebecca's excessive enthusiasm made Manuela, who was already shy, a little overwhelmed.

She ripped off Rebecca's hand and curled up without saying a word, like a complete mute. This was her best protection.

And seeing this,

Javier on the side shook his head helplessly.

This girl's vigilance was more serious than he had imagined. Before she fully displayed her protective color, it was difficult for Manuela to trust anyone around her.

"Hey, eat!"

"I know you are not dumb, and we are not bad people. There is nothing poisonous in the fish, so just eat it. If you don't eat anything, your body will not be able to bear it and you will faint again. The next time you faint, you may not be as lucky as this time. You may continue to sleep and never wake up."

The red bonfire was emitting hot steam, and on the rack beside it were a few tilapia fish that Javier had just caught from the river.

This thing is the most common food for the local residents. Although there is no salt or various seasonings, Javier's cooking skills are pretty good. He baked it to a golden color and exuded fragrance. Manuela, who had not eaten for three days, stared at it and even secretly swallowed her saliva.

It's not that she's not reserved,

But even in such a hungry situation, the saint could not bear the temptation of food, not to mention that she was the daughter of a drug lord.

Finally, thinking about her previous fainting, Manuela took the grilled fish handed to her by Javier, and began to tear the crispy and tender fish meat into her mouth, even though her hands and mouth were burned and she grimaced.

After a while,

After eating a few grilled fish, Manuela licked her fingers with great satisfaction. With her dirty face, she looked as cute as a little cat.

After eating the grilled fish, it’s time to get down to business.

Javier did not hesitate at all and directly pointed out Manuela's identity and said lightly:

"Your name is Manuela Hidalgo, right?"

"I am the daughter of drug lord Javier Hidalgo. Your father is known as the "Drug King" in Colombia. He is the leader of the "Sacred Snake", the largest drug dealer and private arms dealer in South America. Coincidentally, my name is also Javier."

"We are a secret investigation team sent by the US government. We are here because your father, Javier Hidalgo, purchased a weapon called a biological virus from the black market in recent years."

"That stuff can be injected into the human body and turn humans into monsters. It is very dangerous. The US government must stop the spread of biological viruses. If the virus spreads, the entire Amazon rainforest will be contaminated."

"It will then spread to Colombia and even Brazil. Not only the indigenous people in the rainforest, but also the urban population will be infected. Hundreds and thousands of people will become monsters."

"So, the reason why we came to you, Manuela, is to seek your help to stop your father. Help us... to prevent your father from making any more serious mistakes. If we can catch your father, although he won't be able to avoid imprisonment, at least he can save his life."

"Otherwise, when the virus spreads and the government army comes to encircle and suppress it, the entire Amazon rainforest is infected, and all the animals turn into horrible monsters, you and your father will be the biggest sinners, and you won't be able to atone for this sin even if you go to hell!"

The deception method continues to be used.

Without any hesitation, Javier explained directly to Manuela. This was actually a disguised tell-all. Although it was a little bit of a lie, it did hit Manuela's inner weakness.

after all,

Manuela also loves the rainforest where she has lived since she was a child. She doesn't want the animals in the rainforest to be contaminated by viruses, and she doesn't want her father to continue making mistakes. Since she and her mother were infected with endemic diseases a few years ago, Manuela can feel that the father who loved her in the past has changed.

Because when Javier Hidalgo was trafficking drugs and arms in the past, Manuela, as a daughter, could barely accept it. Although she knew that her father was a thoroughly bad man, Javier Hidalgo still had a clear moral bottom line at that time.

He would do anything to make money, but he would generously donate to the surrounding villages and civilians, and even provide a large amount of financial support, which made Javier Hidalgo have a good reputation in the eyes of the civilians and he was not just a pure bully.

but now……

Since obtaining the so-called biochemical virus, father Javier Hidalgo seemed to have fallen into the devil's way. He began to study that kind of thing madly and obsessively, and his temper gradually became erratic and irritable.

Especially on that night, when she witnessed her father injecting a certain drug into one of his subordinates who had made a mistake, and that subordinate suddenly turned into a terrible monster in the iron cage, Manuela knew that everything had changed.

The most important thing is the departure of my mother...

Very suddenly,

Mother Hilda disappeared from Manuela's life. Her mother's illness was not that serious, but she disappeared all of a sudden. Even when Manuela asked her father Javier Hidalgo, he did not give a clear answer and always hesitated.

At that time, Manuela guessed that perhaps her mother's disappearance was related to the biological virus, or perhaps her mother had completely turned into a monster like the soldier who made the mistake.

So no matter what,

Manuela couldn't refuse Javier's proposal, because if she had the chance, she would have wanted to do so to stop her father. It was just the arrival of Javier and others that gave her such an opportunity!

Chapter 13: A Loving Father and a Filial Daughter

"I……"

"I accept your proposal, Mr. Harville, I will take you to the direction of the large dam, but I hope that if you really capture my father, I hope you can give me a chance to talk to him one last time."

"I know my father's sins are grave and irreparable, but if he can finally come to his senses, maybe that would comfort my mother a little. After all, he wasn't that kind of person before."

finally,

Facing Javier's invitation, Manuela raised her curled up face and spoke with great determination, but when she called out "Javier" by name,

This made Manuela feel a little uncomfortable and strange. After all, she never dared to call her father's real name so presumptuously, even if they only had the same name.

And on the other side,

After Javier gained Manuela's initial trust, he couldn't help but smile. It would be great if he could open the favorability bar. If he couldn't even follow the progress bar, then he wouldn't be able to capture Manuela.

Now it's a good start.

But this made Rebecca puff up her cheeks with a slightly dissatisfied expression. To be honest... she was very suspicious of what type of opposite sex Javier liked? Lolita? Manuela in front of her was very young, but her beautiful face didn't look like a lolita.

As for Loli...

Ahem, it seems that Rebecca was younger and cuter four years ago, especially that baby face, which still has some traces of it.

And if it wasn't a lolita complex, could it be that she was simply of the opposite sex younger than him? Thinking of this... Rebecca guessed that it was really possible.

So he stretched out his hand and pinched Javier's waist hard, using a standard defense-breaking real-injury skill. Javier, who was too proud of himself, grimaced in pain.

A little bit of punishment,

Let this pervert restrain his perverted smile for a moment!

"Hey, little girl,"

"Where is the direction of the dam? Come quickly and show us the way. We are about to set off. You are the daughter of the drug lord Javier Hidalgo, the leader of the "Holy Snake". We can't trust you 100%, so I advise you to be sensible and don't play any tricks, otherwise the dagger in my hand will cut your neck at any time!"

And at this moment,

Krauser, who was far away, was too lazy to watch such a flirtatious and disgusting scene.

Among this group of people, Klausa is currently the oldest, having entered the mid-life crisis at the age of thirty. Javier and Leon are only in their twenties, fourteen, twenty-six years old. He hates love very much, because it is an impulse that only occurs when the brain is irrational. He also hates being a light bulb even more.

So he walked to the river first, pulled out the fishing boats of the villagers of Yunshe Village, and started the diesel engine at the same time. While billowing black smoke, the propellers at the rear of the fishing boats began to rotate "da da da", splashing water.

Don't ask why there are diesel engines in the indigenous villages. The indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest are very backward, but not that backward. Because of the influx of a large number of poachers and thieves and loggers, the original Amazon rainforest has been severely eroded.

External mechanical forces,

It has completely impacted this pristine rainforest, and with the generosity of the drug lord Javier Hidalgo, more and more indigenous people have realized the convenience of machinery and started to learn and use them.

From the initial rowing fishing to the current diesel engine automatic fishing boats, the convenience can save a lot of manpower.

At the same time, this is also the real reason why the villagers of Yunshe Village cannot resist Javier Hidalgo, because these things were brought by the drug lord Javier Hidalgo.

Even though they already knew what the machines looked like, it was very difficult for them to buy them and bring them back, as well as to continuously supply diesel and gasoline resources.

So if Javier Hidalgo died, they would lose everything—!

……

They got on the fishing boat driven by Klausa. The boat was not big, but it was barely big enough for five people to squeeze in. Manuela, who was at the front, began to lead Klausa. The five of them were ready to drive towards the large dam.

but,

at the same time,

"Ta Tata..."

“Chichichichi…Chichichichi…!!!”

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the Yunshe Village. A large number of people were rushing towards the river, scaring the birds and animals in the rain forest away. The strange cries of monkeys and the flying of birds gave Javier and others an extremely dangerous signal. The people sitting on the boat turned their eyes to the depths of the turbulent rain forest.

What is coming...?

"..."

"Come on, I see it, there it is!"

"At the riverside, right at the riverside, they are trying to escape in a fishing boat! No... who are they? Outsiders!"

"Damn it, where are they trying to lure Miss Manuela to? They should be soldiers sent by the government. Should we shoot them all?"

"No, stop. Use the fishing boats to catch up with them and surround them. Aim your guns at their boats. Miss Manuela is still in their hands. We can't let anything happen to her, otherwise the boss won't let us go!"

Chaotic shouts came from deep in the rain forest. After a while, about twenty drug dealers in inferior military uniforms jumped out, holding various guns, and some even carried rocket launchers. They looked in the direction of Javier and others and cursed unkindly.

These people were all Javier Hidalgo's men. Although they wore camouflage uniforms, they were not soldiers. They were just drug dealers who had been on the edge of criminal forces for many years. They knew how to use some simple weapons and street fighting techniques.

But in order to better manage them, Javier Hidalgo made them wear camouflage uniforms, which would make them look more formal and decent, instead of all kinds of messy clothes.

But the vicious and evil nature in his bones cannot be changed.

Seeing Javier and his men preparing to escape, several drug dealers thought they were soldiers sent by the government, and immediately picked up their rocket launchers and prepared to fire, destroying Javier and his men along with the fishing boat.

But fortunately, some drug dealers still had some brains.

They were here to capture people, not to kill. Moreover, there was the boss's daughter, Manuela, on the fishing boat. If they killed the boss's daughter and reported the situation to Javier Hidalgo,

With Javier Hidalgo's usual furious temper, he would probably skin all of them alive and cut them off piece by piece.

Thinking of that chilling scene,

Several drug dealers quickly stopped the idiot with the rocket launcher and began to organize a plan bravely and strategically. They were numerous and there were enough fishing boats docked on the river. They could catch up with them and surround them, putting pressure on the government soldiers to hand over Miss Manuela!

"..."

"Who are these guys...?"

Looking at the more than 20 stragglers rushing out of the rain forest, Leon's face changed, and he frowned and murmured, he didn't remember there were so many soldiers in camouflage uniforms in the Amazon rain forest, where did so many soldiers come from?

Even the militia don't have so many of them, and what kind of weapons do they have? Pistols, AK assault rifles, and even bazookas?

"Run away!"

"They are the men my father sent to capture me. They are all drug dealers. Get out of here!"

see,

Manuela's expression suddenly became panic, and she hurriedly urged Klausa behind her to start the diesel engine and rotate the propeller to escape from the village.

If she were caught by the drug dealers, Manuela would undoubtedly lose the capital to confront her father Javier Hidalgo.

"Tsk! Got it..."

"Hold on tight, don't fall into the water!"

“Buzz… Dadada—!!!!”

Although Krauser was unhappy with Manuela's command, the situation was indeed critical. He did not bother to argue too much. Krauser increased the throttle of the engine and the propeller spun at high speed. Amid a deafening noise, the fishing boat immediately accelerated and headed quickly to the far end of the river, breaking through the waves of water in the river.
