Chapter 21: Just Start Again!

"Gu Cheng, wake up...... Gu Cheng? Jill's crisp and melodious voice sounded in Gu Cheng's ears.

Gu Cheng opened his eyes, his eyes were a little misty and a little tired.

This is the 37th rebirth.

Yes.

Not the 28th, but the 37th.

After saving Jill with that heroic flying save, Gu Cheng died under the attack of the spur, he hung up 9 more times.

In these 9 times, there were people who were bitten to death by zombie dogs at the beginning, there were people who were stabbed to death without dodging the attack of red zombies in the bungalow, there were people who tried to save Richard and were swallowed by poisonous snakes, and there were also people who died in the face of plant 42, either saving people or being killed.

Died 9 times.

Before, a total of 36 deaths.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move further from the dormitory hall.

Gu Cheng felt a little tired.

In addition to physical exhaustion, it is more mental exhaustion.

Something he knew was going to happen, but he didn't have the power to change it.

"Jill, Gu Cheng, and Karen, the three of you go over there and have a look, and the rest of you will come with me." Chris's voice sounded again, which also meant that this time the plot was unfolding again.

Gu Cheng got up numbly and followed behind Jill.

Visibility was low in the dark woods, and only the faint moonlight and flashlights could barely see the road under their feet.

Jill has a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, and when she turns around, she sees only Cullen behind her.

"Karen, where's Gu Cheng?" Jill asked, confused. The forest that was obviously entered by the three of them just now, why was there one less person in a few minutes?

"Is it lost?" Cullen said so, but he felt in his heart that it shouldn't be, although the forest was black and black, but the three of them were not far apart, and if they could be lost, it would be too much to say.

"Shall we go back and find out?" Jill proposed.

"Whoosh-"

Before Cullen could reply, a strange sound from the grass caught his attention, and then a dark shadow swooped out of the grass.

"Bang-"

Gunshots.

The sound of gunfire was particularly noticeable in the dark and silent forest.

Gu Cheng, who was walking down the mountain, heard the gunshots, paused at his feet, without any expression on his face, and after a while, he continued to take steps and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

Maybe without me, Jill and Chris would have been easier to "clear" and not be blocked by Plant 42 in front of the gate.

Gu Cheng thought so.

In the silent forest, only the occasional birdsong sounded, and the sound of Gu Cheng's feet stepping on plants and dead branches.

"Bang bang—"

"Bang bang—"

Gu Cheng could even clearly hear the sound of his heart beating.

He was a little confused.

If it's a nightmare, it's a nightmare that doesn't know when you'll wake up, and it's repeated.

He didn't even know what he was going to do next.

Walking aimlessly in the dark woods.

"Roar—"

There was a low roar, and the strange sound of the Clarity Shuttle in the grass.

Gu Cheng couldn't be more familiar with this voice, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he pulled his legs and ran down the mountain. The sudden run seemed to attract the attention of the monster in the grass behind him, and it chased after him.

Gu Cheng took advantage of the inertia of going down the mountain, swooped, hugged the trunk of a big tree, and climbed up quickly.

Halfway through the climb, the dark shadow in the grass jumped out.

Zombie dogs.

"Roar—"

The zombie dog jumped up and tried to bite Gu Cheng, but failed several times. Although Gu Cheng had only climbed half the height of the big tree trunk, he was more than two meters above the ground.

If the zombie dog sprints and jumps, then it is possible to bite Gu Cheng, but at this time, it is just jumping on the spot, and there is still a certain gap between biting him.

Gu Cheng clamped the trunk tightly with his legs, wrapped one hand around the trunk, dragged the branch at the other end, touched the back of his waist with the other hand, and took out a police pistol.

"Bang-"

One shot.

Two shots.

Three shots.

Gu Cheng pulled the trigger as if venting, and didn't stop until he cracked the zombie dog's head and got a hint to gain experience.

Gu Cheng didn't know if the gunfire would attract more zombie dogs, so he didn't dare to stay where he was, jumped off the tree, and continued to descend the mountain.

I don't know how long I walked, Gu Cheng finally saw a road.

Keep following the road.

Keep walking.

Not far away, a gas station appeared.

In addition to gas stations, there are restaurants, convenience stores, and even bars and hotels for passers-by to rest.

Gu Cheng came to the gas station, and a few cars were parked outside the bar and hotel, and there were obviously quite a few customers coming. After thinking about it, he pushed open the door of the bar.

The bar is filled with exhilarating pop music and a few tables of customers. They're talking, they're drinking.

Gu Cheng walked to the bar and sat down, and a bartender in his twenties and thirties with a mustache stepped forward to greet him.

"What do you need, sir?"

Gu Cheng took out a handful of fragmentary bills from his pocket, adding up to more than a hundred dollars. Pulling out a $100 card, he pushed the rest over.

"A glass of wine, a little higher."

"Okay, please wait." The bar took the money, picked up the glass and began to mix.

Soon, a glass of spirits was placed in front of Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

He doesn't like to drink, and even at gatherings with colleagues and family, he rarely drinks alcohol. He doesn't think wine is a bad thing, and of course, he doesn't think wine is a good thing.

It's just that he doesn't like it.

But for some reason, he wanted to have a drink now.

Try to see if this legendary cup of liquid can really free him from the nightmare of endless cycles.

However, Gu Cheng failed.

After a glass of spirits, except for being a little dizzy, he did not "wake up" as he wished.

"Is the officer here on a mission?" The bar saw that Gu Cheng was wearing a S.T.A.R.T.S uniform, so he started chatting.

"yes." Gu Cheng replied casually.

The bartender wiped his glass and said, "After the news report that the young woman was attacked and eaten by wild beasts some time ago, people in this neighborhood have been panicking, and then there were several incidents of wild beasts attacking people, we were going to move out of here, but I didn't expect Raccoon City to take this incident so seriously, let you go out to investigate, now we can rest assured." ”

"You know us?" Gu Cheng was curious.

"Of course." The bartender smiled: "Special Tactical and Rescue Forces, the elite of the police force, S.T.A.R.S Squad." In the past ten years, you have solved many cases that the police force could not solve. ”

"yes, maybe this is a tricky incident that S.T.A.R.S can't solve." Gu Cheng thought of the scenes that happened in the bungalow, and he was a little depressed.

"Cheer up, officer." The bartender took out another glass of wine and pushed it in front of Gu Cheng: "The investigation is clueless for a while, and it is nothing, I believe that with your strength, you will definitely be able to find key information to solve the case and solve this incident." I asked you for this glass of wine, thank you for doing so much for us. ”

Gu Cheng smiled: "Do you still believe in S.T.A.R.S?" ”

"Of course. Three years ago, a group of terrorists and terrorists invaded Raccoon City, and my mother took me to the bank, but I was attacked by terrorists and terrorists. The police can't do anything about them, and in the end, aren't you the ones who deal with them? The moment my mother saw you rushing in, she said, "S.T.A.R.S is here, we are saved." As he spoke, the bartender smiled: "What's more, if even S.T.A.R.S is helpless, and even you give up, then who else can save us?" ”

If even the S.T.A.R.S is helpless, even you give up, then who else can save us?

The bartender's words kept echoing in Gu Cheng's mind.

"Thank you for believing in S.T.A.R.S, and thank you for this wine." Gu Cheng picked up the wine glass, toasted the bartender, and drank it all.

After drinking, Gu Cheng left the bar and came to the hotel next door.

"Give me a room." Gu Cheng slapped the remaining $100 on the counter and said to the boss.

The boss was still a little puzzled when he saw Gu Cheng's uniform, and wondered how there was still a special police officer to come here to open a house, but in line with the principle that money is a customer, he took down a key and handed it to him.

“302。”

"Thank you." Gu Cheng took the key and thanked him, and went upstairs to 302.

The room is not big, it is a single room with a bathroom.

Gu Cheng took off his clothes and took a shower, and the alcohol quickly dispersed in his body under the impact of the hot water.

Soon, Gu Cheng felt dizzy and dizzy, as if he had a sense of unreality when he was floating and sinking in that dark space.

Coming out of the bathroom, Gu Cheng fell headlong on the bed.

I don't know if it was the alcohol or the exhaustion, but in less than two minutes he fell into a deep sleep.

On this night, Gu Cheng had a long, long dream, that he was a newcomer who had just graduated from the police academy and was fortunate enough to enter the S.T.A.R.S, the most elite unit in the police force.

Jill, Chris, Barry, Cullen, Brad, Richard, Rebecca...... Figures flashed by.

He trained with them, partyed.

He and they carry out the mission.

He and they receive a horrific report of Raccoon City.

He and they were sent to the forest to search for the missing Team B.

Zombie.

Zombie dogs.

Monster.

In the end, the zombie dog opened its bloody mouth and pounced on him-

"Ah!!h

Gu Cheng woke up from his dream and sat up from the bed.

Dreams?

Gu Cheng rubbed his eyes, sobered up for a moment, and opened his eyes.

Rows of blue system fonts appeared in front of his eyes.

[Cullen killed.] 】

[Barry is killed.] 】

[Rebecca is killed.] 】

[Brad is killed.] 】

[Chris is killed.] 】

[Death of Jill.] 】

…………

Gu Cheng's eyes widened, and he looked at the system prompt in front of him in disbelief.

Is Chris dead?

Jill is dead?

How can it be?

There is no such person as "Gu Cheng" in Resident Evil 1 at all, won't they "clear the customs" smoothly?

What's going on?

Shocked, stunned, confused, confused...... All kinds of emotions eroded Gu Cheng, and he didn't understand why it was such an ending.

It was because of the arrival of his "uninvited guest" that all S.T.A.R.S was buried in the bungalow?

Even Chris and Jill are no exception?

In the end, the escape not only did not change the ending, but caused a worse ending, and even the protagonist was not spared?

…………

If even the S.T.A.R.S is helpless, even you give up, then who else can save us?

Gu Cheng recalled the bartender's words again in his mind.

And that bizarre dream last night.

"Whew-"

Gu Cheng exhaled deeply and looked at the ceiling a little distracted.

Suddenly, he smiled self-deprecatingly—

"Huh-"

Isn't it just dead 123456789...... 36 times?

Why do I still have 19670+ lifespans, can't I still get a Resident Evil 1?

It's just starting all over again.

Gu Cheng took out his gun and aimed it at his jaw.

His heart was beating faster, as if it were coming out of his throat.

This shot is either to end this recurring nightmare forever, or to let him continue the game from the alarm ringing!

Resident Evil 1, Lao Tzu is dragging the corpse today!

But pulling the trigger is harder than facing a zombie dog.

After a few minutes of mental construction, Gu Cheng gritted his teeth, and put all his strength on the index finger of his right hand.

"Bang-"

A gunshot rang out.

Everything starts from scratch.
