Chapter 36: Old Friends Reunited

Claire, whose full name is Claire Redfield, met Lyon during the Raccoon City crisis of that year, and the two of them have always had a good relationship because of their shared suffering.

Now, friends are reunited after a long absence, no wonder Claire is so surprised.

"Leon, how many years have we not seen each other?"

Claire smiled at Leon, "Also, how did you, a very well-paid agent, come to work at this gas station?" ”

Leon smiled wryly and said, "That's a long story, but there's a benefit to working here......"

Next, the two said in unison, "Don't face those damn zombies anymore." ”

With that, Leon and Claire burst out laughing together.

Unfortunately, the time to get together was always short, and soon Claire's Yamaha motorcycle was filled with gas.

She's leaving.

Before leaving, Claire said to her old friend, "I came to Elk City to meet an old friend, but I didn't expect to meet you, Leon. ”

Leon put the gas gun back on the shelf, looked back and smiled, "yes, I didn't expect it either." ”

"Goodbye then."

With that, Claire put on a motorcycle helmet and started the Yamaha to go.

Leon looked at Claire's disappearing back, and said silently in his heart:

"Goodbye, Claire."

However, just as Leon was about to return to the staff breakroom, he suddenly looked back in the direction where Claire had disappeared.

Wait a minute!

When I was in Raccoon City, it was Claire and I who rescued Shirley Birkin. Now, Shirley is missing, and Claire suddenly arrives in Elk City.

Thinking of this, a ray of light flashed in Leon's eyes, and he silently said, "Could it be that Claire is here to find Shirley?" ”

As Leon reasoned, Claire would come to Elk City because she received a call from Shirley!

At the beginning, Shirley escaped from Raccoon City with the help of Claire and Leon, so the relationship between the three of them has always been very good.

Claire, in particular, has been in contact with Shirley for the longest time, and in the eyes of the latter, she is like a sister.

A few minutes later, Claire arrived at a motel north of Elk City, and after parking Yamaha in the garage, she took off her helmet, took out her mobile phone from her arms, and based on the information in it, went to the second floor of the hotel, and stopped at the door of room 203.

"Knock, knock."

"It's coming!"

There was a knock on the door, and the voices of the occupants could be heard in the room, but interestingly, the voice sounded very rough and did not look like a woman's voice at all.

The door opened, and a man with a height of 1.9 meters, a broken hair, and a scar on the left cheek appeared in front of Claire.

The man was very strong and was wearing a brown long-sleeved T-shirt that was worn to the brim.

Claire obviously didn't know the strong man in front of her, so her expression was a little puzzled, could it be that she was in the wrong place?

But this strong man was very frivolous, and after seeing Claire's beautiful face, he even crossed his hands on his waist and took the initiative to whistle:

"Shh

"Pretty girl, are you here for me?"

"Well, this."

Obviously, Claire didn't like the frivolous man in front of her, and said directly: "I'm sorry, I may have knocked on the wrong door." ”

But the strong man didn't seem to give up, and then said: "It's okay, I'm willing to ......"

"Enough Jack!"

At this time, a coquettish voice came from the room, interrupting Jack's nonsense, and a lovely-looking blonde girl came out of the inner room and said to Claire:

"Long time no see, Sister Claire!"

The blonde girl was Shirley, and when she came to the door, she deliberately stepped on Jack.

"Ahh

Jack, who was in pain, had to scream, stepped aside, and said to Shirley in an innocent tone: "Shirley, I didn't know she was your Claire sister." ”

Unfortunately, it was only Shirley's angry gaze that responded to Jack.

"OK, OK, my bad."

Jack had to admit his "mistake" and close the door after Claire entered the house.

In the room, only the three of them were left.

Shirley took the initiative to pour Claire a glass of water, and then introduced Jack on the side:

"His name is Jack Mueller and he's a good friend of mine."

Claire glanced at Jack and said to Shirley, "It seems that you are not just ordinary friends. ”

The two were noncommittal about this, apparently acquiescing in the relationship.

But the introduction to Jack is not over, because in the second half, Jack himself must say:

"Hello, Claire."

"On a side note, Mueller is my mother's last name, and my father's name is Wesker."

"Wesker?"

Hearing the name, Claire looked at Jack in surprise, and the latter said calmly:

"That's right, it was your brother Chris, the madman who wanted to destroy the world. I never met my father and didn't like him, but I did inherit his bloodline. ”

Speaking of this, Jack paused and said solemnly: "And I, I will never become a madman like my father, I will use my bloodline to fight to the end!" ”

Claire's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she said to Shirley, "Shirley, you really have a good friend. ”

"Yes, Sister Claire," Shirley laughed, "Jack is the second person besides you that I can trust completely." ”

Claire nodded, and then, it's the point!

"So Shirley, what the hell is going on?"

Shirley said to Claire with a solemn face:

"Sister Claire, you know that I am now an agent, and my recent investigation revealed that the Umbrella Company has set up a laboratory called the Hive in the underground of Elk City, specializing in the manufacture of various biological and chemical weapons."

As soon as these words came out, Claire immediately frowned!

You know, it was the same situation in Raccoon City back then, the umbrella company set up a laboratory underground in Raccoon City to create various biochemical viruses, which led to the outbreak of Resident Evil in Raccoon City and was finally destroyed by a nuclear bomb.

No wonder Shirley would go to great lengths to investigate, as she didn't want Elk City to be the second Raccoon City!

"But I have a question."

Just to hear Claire ask:

"Didn't the secret service file an investigation?"

Shirley shook her head regretfully and said:

"I once reported to my superiors, but it was quickly dismissed. My superiors also explicitly hinted that I would not continue the investigation. ”

Claire sighed, "Sure enough, the minions of the umbrella company have penetrated deep into the secret service organization. ”

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, and in the United States, money can buy everything.

And the umbrella company that made a fortune by making biological and chemical weapons, of course, its minions are everywhere, even the secret service organization is no exception!

It's no wonder that Shirley chose to disappear on her own initiative and continue her investigation in secret. Of course, she also knew that she couldn't do it alone, so she found her partner Jack and her friend Claire.

"So what do we do?"

Claire asked, "The Hive Lab must be heavily guarded, and with just the three of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to get in at all." ”

(The author complains, you destroyers the world and destroy the world, don't be humble here)

"Of course, I never thought of destroying the lab."

I saw Shirley turn back to Jack and say, "Jack, bring that thing." ”

"Okay!"

Jack took out a tablet from the package on the hotel bed and opened an electronic map to Claire.

"It's ......"

Looking at this map, Claire's eyes couldn't help but light up.

"This is a map of the internal structure of the hive, and it is precisely because I found this that I knew that the umbrella has a laboratory here."

Shirley pointed to the map and continued, "Claire, do you see this location on the map?" There, there is an emergency passage to the outside. ”

With that, Shirley glanced at Jack, who immediately manipulated the tablet and opened another map, as if he had a heart-to-heart connection.

And this time, it's a map of Elk City.

Next, Jack overlapped the two maps.

"Hmm!"

Claire immediately discovered that the emergency exit of the Hive Lab seemed to be on the north hill of Elk City!

"Emergency exit, just in the north mountain of Elk City!"

Shirley's words also prove this: "And my plan is for the three of us to sneak in, find evidence, and then make this laboratory of biological weapons public." ”

Claire held her chin with her hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "Although we have a map and know the general direction of the entrance, how do we get in?" Hive Laboratories must have prepared advanced electronic locks. ”

"Don't worry, Claire."

Shirley pointed at Jack and said, "Jack will take care of all this, and that's why I came to him." ”

Hearing his partner's words, Jack immediately puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Don't worry, there is no lock that I can't open." ”

Claire couldn't help but ask, "Jack, what did you do before?" ”

Jack put away his tablet and smiled, "Me? I used to be a mercenary, I love money very much, and the appearance fee is 50 million meters, but later, I met Shirley, and from then on, I only needed 50 meters. ”

"Of course, I've recently learned how to pick locks."

As he spoke, Jack put the tablet back in the package, took out an electronic decoder, shook it at Claire, and smiled, "You know what? Even the electronic locks of large bank safes can't stop me. ”

Claire smiled knowingly and then asked Shirley, "When are we leaving?" ”

"I'll leave in the afternoon, after all, the road to Beishan is not short."

Speaking of this, Shirley suddenly remembered something and asked Claire:

"That's right, Claire."

"How?"

"Did you tell your brother when you came out this time?"

"My brother? Oh, come on. ”

Claire waved her hand and said, "Recently, my brother Chris suddenly opened up and wanted to date Sister Jill, I don't want to disturb them. ”

"What!"

Shirley and Jack said in unison:

"Your brother's wooden head is actually enlightened!"

Meanwhile, in a beige Hummer jeep on the eastern highway of Elk City, Jill Valentian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was on the phone......
