I'm the main character in Resident Evil

This guy suddenly appeared behind them out of nowhere.

He even wanted to sell them two weapons.

It was very strange no matter how he thought about it, so before he could figure out the reason, Leon would not believe the black-clad businessman in front of him.

As for weapons and ammunition...

As Leon just threatened,

This is not a game world where merchants cannot be attacked, but the real world, where these are real people.

How dare someone appear before Li Sanguang without any preparation to ask for money? How could it be so simple? He has always been the one robbing others of their money, so how could it be reasonable for others to rob him?

therefore,

Holding the USP9 special agent pistol, Leon looked extremely ferocious, which surprised Louis beside him. He didn't expect that this handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes could really act fierce.

But that’s fine,

This saved Louis the trouble of showing off his acting skills. Now he just had to leave it to Leon. Anyway, he felt that the black-clad businessman in front of him was extremely strange. No one would choose to believe him before knowing his true identity!

"..."

"Hehe...Friends, it seems that you have a deep misunderstanding of me..."

Not only that,

Even the black-clad businessman himself was stunned when he saw Leon's attitude change 180 degrees.

This was not the scenario he had imagined. He had not expected that the money he was making from selling weapons would turn into a robbery at gunpoint. If this were to be made public, the businessman would probably laugh himself to death.

"You don't dare to kill me, my friend,"

"First, I have my own arsenal of weapons, and I can get you a lot of other weapons. If you kill me, you will only get a little bit. Second, I also know some secrets about the village here, including the parasites. Don't you want to know?"

"Third, I advise you not to have such dangerous thoughts. Do you see the little gadget in my hand? It's ticking. As long as I press it, the timed explosives and ammunition on my body will explode together. If you two think you are fast runners, you can try it."

The bloodshot yellow-red eyes stared at Leon and Louis quietly. The black-clad businessman slowly revealed the small remote-controlled detonator of explosives in his hand, and spoke to the two in front of him in a light tone,

After hearing what the black-clad businessman said,

Leon and Louis were stunned.

I didn't expect this black-clad businessman to be so ruthless.

They would carry timed explosives with them. If the two of them really wanted to kill him, he would probably not be able to escape from the cave and would be killed directly.

"Hey, my friend, don't be angry!"

"That was just a joke to liven up the atmosphere. We don't have the Pesetas that Spain used to use, let alone the Euros that are in circulation now. Can U.S. dollars be used?"

Seeing no alternative,

Louis, who was standing by, quickly spoke up to ease the atmosphere, showing what he thought was a very gentlemanly and elegant smile, and pulled out a crumpled green bill from his retro leather jacket. It was a hundred-dollar bill.

Although this guy is a fugitive,

But Louis still had a lot of money on him when he left, about two to three thousand US dollars.

"Hey hey hey..."

"Of course, my friend, the customer with money is God. Although the Euro is expensive, the US dollar is also good. I never mind what currency it is, as long as it can be spent."

Money makes you blind.

Harmony brings wealth.

After receiving the $100 settlement from Louis, the black-clad businessman also revealed his originally weird smile.

The tense atmosphere ended, and the black-clad businessman began to take advantage of the situation... Phew, strike while the iron is hot, and immediately introduced his products:

"hey-hey……"

"I recommend that you buy a map of Wolf Valley first. Although you may be familiar with the environment here, there are still many places you are definitely not aware of."

"This map will allow you to travel freely. It costs one hundred dollars. You can't find a map as accurate as this one."

"As for weapons, I recommend a few veterans. The Colt M1911 pistol, the Mauser C96 pistol, the Luger P08 pistol, and the Browning M1910 are weapons that I think are very durable. The M1911 is a veteran that is still in service today. The power and accuracy of the large-caliber bullets are irresistible."

"The Mauser pistol is also very powerful, known as a box gun. Because of the characteristics of the speed selector, it also has a fully automatic shooting function. Although it was eliminated during World War II, it has established a lot of reputation in the Asian campaign."

"As for the Luger P08 and Browning M1910, I don't need to say much. They are officer's pistols and ladies' pistols. Their small and exquisite appearance is very suitable for concealment. No one will find them even if they are placed in the crotch. They are commonly used weapons by spies. They are very accurate and suitable for introverted and low-key people."

After a long and rambling speech,

The black-clad businessman put all four pistols on the ground and said that all four pistols had obvious signs of friction and use, and even the wooden or rubber handles were patinated.

There is no doubt that these things are really retired weapons used by others.

If it weren't for the good maintenance,

Louis and Leon both doubted whether these guns could still be used. It would be fun if they exploded after one shot.

"Hey, man, don't look at me like that,"

"All my products are guaranteed. I will never cheat you. If you have any problems, you can come to me. I will never run away. In addition, the prices are favorable. These pistols are used and they are very old. The second-hand price is only US$300 to US$500."

"Of course, in addition to this, I will also give you extra bullets. These bullets are produced on regular lathes, and are definitely not made by hand in a small workshop. They will not explode."

"As for the price of bullets, according to the caliber, high-powered bullets are one dollar each, and small-caliber bullets are two dollars each. How about that? Isn't it very affordable? If you can shoot accurately, there are only a few hundred people in the entire Wolf Valley village, and you can deal with it with a few hundred dollars."

Very patient,

The black-clad businessman explained with a smile,

Even Louis was surprised by the price. You can't buy a good gun in the United States for $300 to $500. You can only buy a gun on the black market.

But these weapons are very old and are really worth only this much. As for the pistol bullets, they are also the same as those sold in American weapon stores. It is just a small profit.

This surprised Louis...

Isn't it said that businessmen are all black-hearted?

After thinking it over again and again,

Louis and Leon each bought their own weapons, spending almost all their savings. Leon, in particular, pawned the small treasury gold coins he had found in the village house to buy a Colt M1911 and several hundred bullets.

As a modern person,

Or an agent of the US government?

Lyon naturally would not choose the other three antiques. The Colt M1911 is one of the pistols still in service. It is powerful, has strong performance, is durable, semi-automatic, and looks closer to modern pistols. Lyon naturally did not hesitate, but the highest price of US dollars also made him very distressed.

Other than that,

Lyon also bought a few high-explosive grenades for emergency use. Grenades were more expensive and more practical, so they naturally cost Lyon a lot of money. He also bought some dry food to fill their hungry stomachs.

As for Louis,

He chose the Mauser C96 retro pistol, which he loved the most. He liked the appearance of this retro gun. Although it was a weapon eliminated during World War II, it has the ability to fire fully automatically due to the speed selector, which is very rare.

The number of bullets can be loaded, the power is not bad, and it is also a large-caliber firearm. This makes Louis very satisfied. He feels that this gun is tailor-made for him.

The little money I have,

Louis and Leon pooled their money together and bought a Garand rifle with a triple scope. This rifle was powerful enough to kill the enemy at a distance. They bought it after careful consideration.

After spending some more money on ammunition, the two of them were almost out of their own pocket money. However, when they saw that the black-clad businessman still had a rocket launcher and a machine gun in his backpack, they gritted their teeth.

If I had known earlier, I would have brought more money with me, so that I wouldn't be so embarrassed now. As expected... Men should bring more money with them when they go out to feel at ease -

After getting the weapon,

The businessman did not leave immediately.

Instead, he gave them a map and issued a commission to Leon and Louis. Yes... commission, just like in the game. Unfortunately, this commission was not as simple as killing a few mice and finding some treasures.

"..."

"I need you to take me to the island research institute and help me remove the Plaka parasites in my body. After that, I can help arrange a speedboat to take you away from this hellhole."

A low and sad word,

Instantly, Leon and Louis' faces changed drastically.

Regardless of Leon and Louis' surprise, the black-clad businessman slowly took off the hood of his black windbreaker under their gazes, revealing a bald head with only a few hairs, which was covered with various rashes, as if he was infected with some skin disease.

As the purple and white striped scarf was torn off, the merchant's wrinkled face was revealed. He was indeed a middle-aged man in his forties, but his teeth were black, his neck was covered with hideous bloodshot, and his eyes were extremely fierce, just like the group of villagers infected by the Plaka parasite.

no doubt,

This businessman is also infected——

But why is it out of control?

"There was a little surprise,"

"I was originally a mercenary on the island, hired by the so-called Lord of Light, Sadler, to build a military base on the island and serve as a guard, but unfortunately, this is not an ordinary job."

"He implanted parasites in everyone except me. I was the only one who escaped. The parasite was not implanted in my spine, but in my heart."

He lifted up his heavy black windbreaker and tore off his shirt, revealing his chest full of blood vessels. There was a huge bulge just below his heart. The skin had been stretched very thin by the parasite implantation.

You can also see the appearance of the Plaka parasite, which is curled up near the chest. It is about the size of a fist and is still in the larval stage, not an adult.

Because the parasite is located in the heart,

It's not about the spine.

As a result, the parasite was unable to control the black-clad businessman's body. After all, although the skin and muscles have nerves, they cannot control the entire body in the opposite direction. At most, they can only control the beating of the heart. Therefore, this is the real reason why the businessman can still survive and maintain his sanity.

Because it is close to the heart,

The Praka parasites dared not act rashly. Once the heart was damaged, both of them would die. They could only suck blood slowly, moving towards the spine little by little. Therefore, compared with ordinary parasitic villagers, the merchant could survive longer...

Chapter 24: Attack on Titan

Resident Evil has a very serious topic——

Title: The virus cannot bring the dead back to life, it can only prevent the host from dying...

This is an absolute theory and the only remaining truth, which means that the virus cannot revive a dead body. It is not black magic. At this moment, when the virus enters the dead cell again,

It is impossible to revive it, because essentially, a virus is just a non-cellular organism that must live in a living cell and replicate and proliferate crazily without a mind.

After the virus leaves the host cell, it becomes just a chemical substance without any life activities and cannot reproduce independently.

This is not nonsense.

That's essentially it.

The virus may seem powerful, but it is actually just a weak parasite that needs nutrients from cells. Without this tiny link of biological cells, it cannot evolve into an extraordinary creature that transcends the world.

same,

The same is true for the Plaka parasite,

It cannot parasitize the dead. No... this is not rigorous. It should be said that it does not like to parasitize the dead. For a dead body, the Plaka parasite can enter the body like drilling a leather case and "revive" it.

But the control time of this "resurrection" is very short, because the host has died, which is unavoidable.

The cells in the body will die completely within tens of minutes or hours due to lack of oxygen and suffocation. The body will rot and stink uncontrollably, and without a source of nutrition, this is inevitable.

At the same time, the bacteria from the rotting and smelly corpses will also infect the Plaka parasite, although this does not pose any threat to it.

but……

As a parasite,

It will not stay in a dead host forever. It needs to ensure the host's freshness and the sensitivity of nerve control.

Only in this way... is it a nest suitable for the survival of parasites. Therefore, this is also the real reason why, even though the Praka parasite is right in the heart of the merchant, he dare not act rashly.

It could tear the muscles and jump directly to the spine in an instant, but it didn't dare to do so, because if it acted rashly, the host would die.

It cannot accept the death of its host, and cannot bear the trouble of parasitizing other organisms again. After all, parasites without the protection of a host are very fragile, so they are stuck in such a troublesome stalemate.

You can only control your body growth as much as possible.

It slowly bypasses other important organs and then drills into the spine to manipulate the nerves. There is no doubt that this will take a long time.

so,

This is why the merchant was infected but did not develop any symptoms.

He had more time than others. The Plaka parasites that took black water to accelerate hatching could complete parasitism in just a few hours, while the modified Plaka parasite eggs needed only three days to develop into full adults or even shorter.
