Zongman: Beginning and Snow under the Rain Escape from Raccoon City

"You are a good guy."

Yukino Yukinoshita gave Ye Hai a deep look, and then gave him another "friend card".

She gripped the M16A4 rifle tightly in her hand, about to come into close contact with the zombies.

As they drew closer, Yukino Yukinoshita's pupils dilated: "Aren't you going to stop the car?!?"

"Boom—Crack—"

As the sound of the church's enormous glass window shattering echoed, the massive Hummer crashed headfirst into the church's interior.

"Paji——"

A burst of blood mist exploded on the windshield.

"Hey, not bad luck, you actually managed to smash one to pieces."

Ye Hai leaned out of the car and glanced at the convulsing Licker on the ground, while waving to the two women and one man not far away: "Hello~ Not too late, right?"

The three were Jill, her Black teammate Payton, and a female reporter whose name I've forgotten.

"Heh, not bad luck, I just ran out of bullets."

After seeing this, Jill smiled nonchalantly, raised her empty pistol, and said to Ye Hai and the others.

She had even prepared herself to face death.

"Step aside!"

A loud shout rang out, and Ye Hai instinctively shrank back.

"boom--"

"Grass!"

A loud gunshot rang out above Ye Hai's head, and he successfully experienced what Yukino Yukinoshita had gone through.

A blood-red figure was shot away by Alice wielding a short-barreled shotgun.

"Holy crap, controlling a shotgun with one hand, you're practically a superman."

Ye Hai stared in disbelief as Alice, armed with a shotgun in each hand, chased after two Lickers inside the church and opened fire.

Yukino Yukinoshita had already raised her rifle and was aiming, but unfortunately the Licker was moving too fast, and Alice was also constantly moving and firing.

This made her afraid to fire, fearing that she might accidentally hit Alice.

"emmm..."

Ye Hai glanced at the situation on the field, then reached out and pulled out a blue can of beverage from somewhere, drinking it all in one gulp.

Feeling my heart pounding rapidly inside me, and the sensation of every single cell leaping with joy.

Ye Hai jumped onto the roof of the car, a rocket launcher slung over his shoulder, and roared, "Alice, get out of the way!"

Alice glanced back, her pupils contracted sharply, and she kicked off the wall, retreating more than ten meters.

With a loud bang, the entire church shook.

Chapter 7 Gradually Recovering Memories

The dust has settled.

"Cough-cough-"

Alice, covered in dust, crawled out of the ruins. She first looked at the Lickers who had been blown to bits, and then at Ye Hai, who was still holding the Iron Fist rocket launcher.

Are you planning to blow me up too?

Alice asked softly.

"I believe you can dodge it."

Ye Hai smiled and then tossed the still-smoking launch tube aside.

This is a single-use item; you can just throw it away after use, and there's no need to recycle the launch tube.

He had great confidence in the abilities of this T-virus supercarrier.

"..."

Alice gave Ye Hai a deep look. She had a feeling that this man she had never met seemed to know her very well.

Could it be that they knew each other before, but he just forgot?

Alice began to doubt herself.

After all, my memories are fragmented now, and it's possible that I might have forgotten them.

There were three Lickers inside the church. Ye Hai ran over and killed one when he drove in in his Hummer, and Alice took care of the other with a shotgun.

The last one was also taken down by Ye Hai with a rocket launcher, and the entire group was cleared out.

……

"Hey—I'm telling you, you're not planning to walk through this cemetery, are you?"

At the cemetery outside the church, Ye Hai stopped everyone from going any further.

After finishing the battle inside the church, we introduced ourselves and then unanimously decided to find a safe place to wait for a while.

As for where is safe?

Those are, of course, those skyscrapers.

Putting everything else aside, one point is very important: the walls must be strong enough.

As is well known, most ordinary residential houses in the United States are actually made of wood.

It has the advantages of being easy to build and having low maintenance costs. Although it also has the disadvantage of being prone to catching fire, it is not a big problem under normal circumstances.

But things will get complicated when the end of the world comes.

Those wooden structures were no match for the zombie invasion; only the reinforced concrete buildings could withstand the zombies' immense strength.

As for why I didn't drive...

Because of Ye Hai's violent act of crashing into the wall, the Hummer was totaled, so they had to walk.

"Is there something wrong?"

Jill, holding an MP5, asked with a puzzled look, "This gun was given to me by Alice."

Alice's weapon pouch contained two shotguns, two MP5s, and four or five pistols and ammunition.

It has to be Alice; how could any other ordinary person possibly carry so many things?

"If I remember correctly, you Americans don't have the custom of cremating corpses, right?"

As Ye Hai spoke, he slowly raised the shotgun in his hand and pointed it at the ground of the cemetery.

Jill frowned slightly, and after a moment, as if she suddenly understood something, she widened her eyes and said, "You mean, these long-dead corpses in the cemetery have also turned into zombies?"

"How can it be!"

"They were already dead before the virus leaked."

The female reporter said incredulously.

"Hmm~ Alice, what do you think?"

Ye Hai shrugged and said, then looked at Alice.

To be honest, he didn't really understand how the zombie virus spread; in the show, it seemed to be transmitted through bodily fluids.

However, there are exceptions, such as Dr. Ashford, who was shot at the end of Resident Evil: Apocalypse, and he also turned into a zombie.

The corpses in these cemeteries are the same; even though no zombies dug up their graves and ate them, they still turned into zombies.

Upon hearing Ye Hai's question, Alice frowned and put one hand to her forehead, as if she was experiencing some discomfort in her head.

After a moment, she seemed to remember something and suddenly looked up, saying as she walked to the other side, "Let's take a detour."

Jill caught up with him and asked, "What's going on? Do you know something?"

Others followed suit.

Alice didn't stop walking, but said as she went, "There are many ways the T virus can be transmitted, not just through biting someone and causing contact with bodily fluids."

"Besides contact with bodily fluids, it can be transmitted in many ways, including aerosol spread, parasitic infection, blood transmission, and even contaminated water can turn a normal person into a zombie after entering the human body."

The female reporter was puzzled by Alice's answer and said, "Aerosol transmission? Isn't that airborne transmission? Then why haven't we turned into zombies yet?"

At the same time, she also pointed her DV camera at Alice. As a journalist, she never missed any opportunity to get firsthand information.

She even had a camera on the whole time during her escape.

Yes, if it could be transmitted through the air, there shouldn't be any living people left in Raccoon City right now.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement, agreeing with what the female reporter said.

Alice glanced at Ye Hai, who also seemed to agree with the female reporter's question, and then continued, "That's because the T-virus concentration in the air is very low. Even without special antiviral serum, the body's own immune system can kill the invading virus."

"But those who are very weak or infected with HIV are not an option. They do not have a normal immune system, and even a very low concentration of the T virus in the air is enough to infect them and turn them into zombies."

"And those dead people..."

Alice didn't continue, but everyone understood what she meant.

Dead people have no immune system, so they can't resist the invasion of viruses.

If it were any other virus, it wouldn't matter; even if it invaded a corpse, it couldn't do anything. But this T virus is the one that can make the dead rise up again.

A cemetery filled with corpses is obviously a very dangerous place.

"Miss Alice, can you tell me why you know so much?"

The female reporter pressed for an answer out of curiosity.

A hint of sadness flashed in Alice's eyes before she said, "Because... I used to be a senior executive in the security department of Umbrella Corporation, and this T-virus was developed by Umbrella Corporation."

"Oh... damn it."

Just as Alice was about to continue speaking, Jill's black teammate Payton suddenly cried out in pain and leaned against a tree.

Alice frowned, then, as if sensing something, quickly drew her gun and pointed it at Payton.

"what are you doing!"

Jill's expression changed, and she also raised her gun, this time aiming it at Alice.

Yukino Yukinoshita was stunned, holding her rifle and staring blankly at the scene before her. What was going on? Weren't they just chatting peacefully? How did they suddenly draw their guns and confront each other?

Because she knew nothing about the plot, Yukino Yukinoshita didn't say a word the whole time, but just listened quietly and sorted through the information they were saying.

But no matter how hard she tried to figure it out, she couldn't find anything that could have caused the two of them to suddenly turn against each other.

Chapter 8 The Doctor's Harassing Phone Calls

"He was bitten by a zombie."

"You should deal with him now, or it'll be troublesome later."

"You should know that too."

Alice spoke to Jill with a somewhat indifferent tone.

As a special modified being injected with the T-virus but not mutated into a zombie, Alice naturally has the ability to sense other organisms carrying the T-virus.

It's just that my memories hadn't returned, so I didn't know what that special feeling meant.

"I'm fine!"

Upon hearing this, the Black man, Payton, nervously defended himself, saying that perhaps a very small number of people could face death calmly, but Payton was clearly not one of them.

He felt he could still struggle a little longer.
