Chapter XXXVII: Lyon
23 September 1998.
On the highway, not too far from Raccoon City, a speeding jeep is driving at high speed.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the earth, giving the earth a golden coat.
If it weren't for the approaching time to take office, Lyon might have stopped to admire the beautiful view.
Although he had to be in time to take up his post, if he had gone early, he would have had time to get to the apartment for a hot shower, and if it went well, he might have been able to buy something at a fast-food restaurant on the way to the police station, he was hungry now.
Although Leon has now changed into the police uniform he needs to take office, which can save him a lot of time, but if he can arrive early, he will have more time to deal with other things.
Leon looked at the map, and there were about thirty minutes left.
If Lyon hadn't been quicker, he wouldn't have been able to catch up with the nine-o'clock report.
Leon looked out the window of the car and saw how empty it had been.
At least now the road is empty, and there are no passing cars to be seen, except for a few cars that appear to be abandoned.
Thinking of the friend Jacques who had just separated. Tomson missed him a little, and then remembered that he was stuck in a traffic jam in the city for an afternoon in the afternoon, and he felt a little unhappy.
In fact, last night, Leon and his good friend Jacques. Tomson was partying at the bar for his police academy graduation, and he drank a little too much, so he woke up from his sleep at noon the next day.
But thinking that he has rented an apartment in Raccoon City, which is very beautiful, very close to where he works, and most importantly, the price is very cheap, and he is a real policeman from now on, thinking of this, most of the unhappiness in Leon's heart just now disappeared.
I was finally able to leave the congested city and the chaotic school, and although I haven't recovered from the discomfort of the society I just entered, I am still looking forward to my future life anyway.
And I'm already an adult, and I'm going to become a police officer in Raccoon City soon, and Raccoon City is where I'll stay in the future.
At that moment, Lyon's jeep seemed to have hit something.
“fuck!”
Leon slammed on the brakes, the car made a sharp and screeching sound, and then lost control and started to circle directly on the road, until I don't know how many laps later, the car finally came to a staggered stop on the highway.
Leon felt so dizzy that his stomach and intestines were constricted, and he almost threw up.
He opened the car door, got out of the car and began to check what exactly he had hit, but after looking around, he didn't see what he had hit......
Leon searched for a long time, only to see a humanoid thing appear next to the woods next to him, this object's two eyes seemed to emit red light, but Leon didn't think about it, after all, many animal eyes glow.
Leon breathed a sigh of relief, it must have been some kind of animal, maybe a stone or something.
I don't know what it is, but I ran to tell the highway and almost overturned myself.
The jeep stopped not far from Raccoon City, and the tall buildings of Raccoon City could already be seen.
Leon looked down at the time in the car, it would take nearly 10 minutes to get to where he had reported, and it seemed that he still had to walk a long way.
For some reason, Leon looked at the quiet Raccoon City, it turned out to be dark, and the dark highway made Leon feel a strange feeling, and Leon felt a little uneasy in his heart.
This reminded him of the bizarre murder that happened in Raccoon City not long ago, and he heard that all the corpses were torn apart, and he heard that this kind of situation is happening more and more in the city, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down at all.
Thinking of this, Leon couldn't help but shiver for a moment, feeling a little chill in his back, of course, the biting incident that happened in Raccoon City was indeed too terrible, and it was normal for people to feel uncomfortable.
What made Leon even more unsettling was that he suddenly had a feeling... It felt as if something was staring at him in the woods next to him, which reminded him of the humanoid object he had just seen.
"Forget it, I'm just worrying about the sky and asking for trouble, so let's go to Raccoon City to take office quickly." Leon shook his head and muttered to himself, hearing his own voice, Leon felt much more relieved, and directly started the car and set off towards Raccoon City.
Leon drives his jeep all the way to Raccoon City, but he finds that he doesn't meet a single person along the way.
Even the service area next to the highway was the same, it was empty, and there were no cars on the road, which made Leon's heart even more uneasy.
The only thing he can do now is to comfort himself directly: "Today must be a holiday, I guess I'm so tired that I forgot about the festival, they all went to the festival." ”
But when Lyons had already come to the outside of Raccoon City, Lyons still found that the city, which should have been very lively in the past, was unexpectedly lifeless, and there was no one. It seemed like there was still a lot of chaos around me, as if it had just been through a war.
What about people, why didn't you see a single person along the way? Not even a living thing was seen.
With a strange mood, Leon drove slowly towards Raccoon City, but even though Leon had entered the city, he didn't find a single figure.
There was only the fire that kept appearing in front of Leon's eyes, countless cars and buildings were engulfed in flames, although the fire was very serious, but Leon found that there was still no one nearby, let alone the firefighting troops, not even the residents saw a single one.
Continuing to drive towards the city, towards the police station of his destination, Leon saw countless wrecks of vehicles and many bloodstains smeared on the ground along the way.
"Hey, buddy, do you know where people go? What's going on with these? Finally, around a corner, Leon finally saw a man, even though the man seemed to be walking a little wrong.
"Roar." But this person did not answer Leon's question, but directly opened his mouth to bite Leon, and Leon deftly dodged this person's attack.
He saw the man's red eyes, which reminded him of the frequent biting incidents in Raccoon City not long ago.
"Don't come here, I'll shoot if I come again." Thinking of this, Leon directly took out his gun and said to the man who staggered and continued to walk towards him.
"Don't come here, bang." Seeing that there was no effect, and the person pounced on him again, Leon shot directly, but the next thing made him a little rushed, and a shot hit this person, and he didn't feel a little like continuing to pounce on himself.
"Bang bang." A few shots didn't have any effect on the body, and it only really stopped after the last hit on the head.
"Roar... Roar... Roar. At this moment, a large number of people with red eyes suddenly appeared from all around, and Leon seemed to understand what was going on when he saw this, and directly abandoned the jeep, which was no longer out of gasoline, and ran out to the side that had not yet been surrounded. ……
