Chapter Thirty-Seven: Looking Back and Smiling

"Hey, Rebecca, how's it going?"

Jill, who is wearing a blue off-the-shoulder tank top, denim hot pants and short leather boots, is holding a mobile phone in her left hand and chatting with her old friend Rebecca:

"Have you found a good man to trust?"

Rebecca on the other end of the phone "cut" and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Jill, why do you keep asking this question!" Wait, are you showing off to me? ”

Jill laughed, "yes, our Captain Chris finally got the hang of it and asked me for a date." Do you say, Chris? ”

As he spoke, Jill's right hand reached out to the driver's seat and touched Chris Redfield's short hair.

"Hey, Jill, don't make a fuss, I'm driving!"

Obviously, Chris didn't like Jill making such intimate movements, but it was because of his opening that Rebecca on the other end of the phone could also hear it.

"Oh, Jill, it's true!"

Rebecca was a little surprised and said, "Chris, that wood, is really dating you?" ”

In fact, Rebecca, Jill and Chris used to be S.T.A.R.S. members (SWAT) and knew each other, and the tacit relationship between Jill and Chris is not a secret among S.T.A.R.S. members.

When Rebecca said this, she was actually wishing her two friends.

"Hey, Rebecca, I hear you."

Of course, Chris doesn't seem to like people saying he's wood.

"Okay, stop laughing."

Rebecca restrained her smile and said seriously, "Jill, Chris, I'm sorry, I couldn't find information here about why Claire went to Elk City. ”

"It's okay Rebecca."

Chris said, "Just know that my sister is in Elk City, just go to her." ”

Rebecca said, "Jill, so Chris is on his way to Elk City with you?" ”

Jill replied, "I should say it's coming soon." ”

As he spoke, Jill looked at the sign on the side of the road: "Fifty kilometers from Elk City." ”

"Well, okay."

Rebecca paused before saying, "Chris, we all know your sister, she will suddenly go to Elk City, something must have happened, anyway, good luck to you." ”

"yes, okay."

"Goodbye, Rebecca."

With that, Jill hung up the phone, then looked at Chris, and said, "It seems that we have to count on Sheva's investigation." ”

Chris nodded and said, "Claire, that girl, always likes to rush alone." Luckily, I found out early this time. ”

Jill smiled when she heard this, and said, "Yes, I don't know who Claire's temper learned from." ”

The "who" here is, of course, Chris.

Chris had to pout his lips, and then slowly spat out a few words: "I'm sorry, Jill, because of my sister's relationship, our date fell through." ”

"It's okay, Chris."

Jill looked at his old partner, his eyes full of tenderness: "As long as we are together, there is nothing that cannot be solved." ”

"yes."

A smile appeared on Chris's face.

At this time, Jill's cell phone rang again, and Chris immediately looked at her. And Jill immediately said after seeing the call prompt on his mobile phone:

"It's Sheva, she should have found a clue."

With that, Jill immediately picked up the phone: "Hey, Sheva, how is it?" ”

Sheva, whose full name is Sheva-Aloma, is a black girl from Africa. Many years ago, he partnered with Chris to solve the Resident Evil event in Africa. It was also because of that incident that Sheva became friends with Chris and Jill.

Sheva, who was on the other end of the phone, immediately said in an uneasy tone after hearing Jill's voice:

"Jill, I'll tell you a bad news, Claire went to Elk City this time, I'm afraid there are a lot of inside stories, let me explain slowly."

"First of all, have you ever heard of a woman named Shirley Birkin?"

Hearing this name, Chris immediately reacted and said, "Shirley? I remember! She was a little girl who was brought out of Raccoon City by my sister many years ago, and if memory serves, she joined the secret service. ”

Jill knew about it, of course, and said, "What's the matter, Sheva? Could it be that Claire went to Elk City, what does it have to do with this Shirley? ”

"That's the point."

Sheva continued: "Based on the information I have so far, Shirley seems to have discovered that in the underground of Elk City, there is the biochemical laboratory of the Umbrella Company. ”

Chris and Jill, who were on the other end of the phone, immediately said in unison, "What? Umbrella Company! ”

Years ago, when Chris and Jill were members of S.T.A.R.S., they worked together to solve the incident at the Western-style Pavilion in the mountains behind Raccoon City, and found out that the Umbrella Company was behind the incident.

And the Western-style incident was the beginning of everything.

Jill hurriedly asked, "And then?" ”

"According to my investigation, Shirley reported the incident to her superiors, but was rejected by them, after which she disappeared."

I only heard Xie Wa say solemnly: "Chris, Shirley was brought out of Raccoon City by your sister, and the relationship between the two of them must be good." ”

"There is no doubt that Shirley is not missing, she must have come to Elk City to investigate the matter about the Umbrella Company laboratory alone."

"I speculate that Claire may have learned about Shirley's investigation from some source, which is why she came to her aid."

On the other end of the line, both Chris and Jill fell silent.

Of course Chris knows what his sister's temper is, and because of this, he believes that Sheva's reasoning is completely correct, and it is impossible to imagine that Claire has set off with Shirley to investigate the Umbrella's biochemical laboratory.

Xie Wa on the other end of the phone obviously sensed something, and said:

"I'm sorry, Chris, that's all I can look into."

"No, Sheva, we should thank you."

Jill glanced at the silent Chris and said, "I'll leave it to us next." ”

"Goodbye, then."

"Well, goodbye."

With that, Jill hung up the phone and said to Chris, "Do you think Claire is still in Elk City?" ”

The silent Chris finally spoke: "With my sister's temper, she may have set off. ”

"So what are we going to do?" Jill then asked.

Chris said helplessly: "Let's go to Elk City first, at least we can understand some of the situation." ”

"Well, yes, we're all here."

As he spoke, Jill also used his thumb to point to the big iron box in the back seat of the jeep and said, "Fortunately, we are ready." ”

Today's Chris and Jill are both special forces, so it goes without saying what they will put in the box in the back seat of the car.

Chris didn't speak, obviously still worried about his sister, Jill knew him, and of course wouldn't bother Chris at such a time, but turned his gaze out the car window to take in the surrounding scenery.

Elk City is surrounded by mountains on both sides and faces water on the other, and the scenery is really good. However, because of the direction of the jeep, Jill who was sitting in the passenger seat could see the scenery through the window was exactly the North Mountain of Elk City.

In fact, the two mountains around Elk City are not high, the altitude is not even 100 meters, and it is more appropriate to say that they are hills than mountains.

As a result, Jill was able to get a clear view of the North Mountain, as well as its summit.

However......

"Oh my God!"

Suddenly Jill shouted, "Chris, look at the top of the hill over there!" ”

"What's wrong, Jill?"

Chris also knows Jill, and usually she never bothers herself, and when Jill does that, it means:

"Oh my God!"

Chris, who turned his head to look, also let out the same exclamation as Jill.

Because, on the top of the north mountain of Elk City, there is actually a foreign pavilion, and its appearance is very similar to the foreign pavilion in the back mountain of Raccoon City!

"Chris."

Jill looked at his partner, who agreed:

"Well, I think the same thing as you!"

As he spoke, Chris turned the steering wheel and drove the jeep into the fork in the road to North Mountain.

When Chris drove the jeep to the gate of the mansion, the sun had come to the horizon, and night was coming.

Jill then turned around and opened the tin box in the back seat of the car, and said to Chris, who had just gotten out of the car:

"Chris, open the door!"

"Roger."

I saw Chris strode to the main entrance of the mansion, then raised his right hand and knocked lightly on the door.

"Knock knock."

"Anyone?"

However, there was no answer at all in the Western-style pavilion.

"Then I pushed the door."

With that, Chris pushed hard, and the door of the mansion opened.

The door was unlocked, and there was no one in the hall.

There's something wrong with this Western-style house!

Not only that, but Chris noticed that the doorway to the hall was covered with a long red carpet that stretched straight to the front, up the T-shaped staircase that led to the second floor.

The structure of the house is exactly the same as the Western-style house in Raccoon City back then!

Thinking of this, Chris clenched his fists, because this time, he and Jill came prepared.

"Chris."

Hearing Jill's voice behind him, Chris immediately turned around and walked back to the jeep and said to Jill:

"It looks like we're going to investigate this mansion just like we did back then."

"yes, just like it was back then."

As he spoke, Jill pulled out a pistol and handed it to Chris.

The big iron box had already been opened, and it was filled with a lot of weapons, enough for the two of them to equip themselves.

Moments later, both Chris and Jill have pistols and combat daggers around their waists, with Chris holding an assault rifle and Jill holding a shotgun.

On their left shoulder, they have a walkie-talkie so that they can communicate with each other at any time, and on their right shoulder, a flashlight is hung for lighting.

Finally, Jill took out a light blue beret from the iron box and put it on his head.

Seeing this scene, Chris couldn't help but laugh and said, "Jill, you still have this hat?" ”

"This hat represents my memory."

Jill picked up his gun and said to Chris, "Let's get started." ”

"Good!"

With that, the two of them, fully armed, walked into the mansion and closed the door.

"Bang!"

As the door closed, the two felt like they were back in the old days.

"Just like it was then."

Chris began, "Where do we start?" ”

"On the left."

Jill was the first to walk to the room on the left side of the first floor of the hall, and said as he went, "I'll bet 10 meters on the knife, and I'm sure I'll be able to meet old friends there." ”

"I feel the same way!"

Chris followed.

Pushing open the door, the two found that the room on the left side of the first floor was a restaurant, but now no one was eating, and the long table was empty.

However, there was a door at the end of the restaurant, and Chris and Jill looked at each other before heading there.

At this time, the sun has completely set and night has fallen!

Pushing the door open, Jill turned on the flashlight on his shoulder, and Chris followed closely behind.

The door at the end of the restaurant, where it leads, is a hallway, and there are some strange noises at the end of the hallway.

With the help of the dim light of the flashlight, the two walked in the direction of the sound.

Immediately afterward, the two saw a zombie lying on the ground, gnawing on the corpse of an unlucky man.

The scene was dripping with blood.

However, the zombie seemed to sense the movement behind him.

I saw him get up slowly, and then turned his head to the left, revealing half of his bloody face and that classic looking back smile!

"Whew!"
