Chapter 123: Li Sanguang and Kemm
A light rain fell in the dark night sky, and the road stretched straight through the darkness, surrounded by shadowy hills.
"Alas, what a terrible weather."
Leon couldn't help but frown as he drove his hand out of the window. The distance was much farther than expected, not to mention, but I didn't expect to be unlucky enough to encounter a rainy day. The rain has a tendency to increase day by day, and it has to affect the speed.
I looked at my watch, and it was 7:49 p.m.
"Dinner is out of play, I hope to catch the supper time in Raccoon City." Leon sighed, still keeping his speed up, after all, rainy nights are the longest-occurring factor in traffic accidents.
At this time, the flashing red light on the car's fuel level indicator attracted his attention.
"Alas, it's a disaster."
What could be worse than a backcountry car running out of gas?
Leon Scott Kennedy, the male protagonist of Resident Evil 2/4/6 and several Gaiden series, known as Li Sanguang (4th generation into the village to burn and kill), split-head, vehicle killer. At this time, he was 21 years old and had just graduated from the police academy with honors.
A month ago, Leon received a letter of appointment from the Raccoon City Police Department, which was supposed to take office a week ago, but after receiving a temporary notice from the Raccoon City Police Department to stay at home first, he waited at home for a whole week, and there were still no new instructions there, so Leon decided to go to Raccoon City to inquire about the situation.
But I didn't think about misestimating the distance and time, and it rained heavily, so I was expected to be able to go to Raccoon City for dinner, but now it's also a supper.
Still, Lyon is very much interested in Raccoon City, the city he will fight for in the future. But I heard that in the past few months, there have been cases of wild beasts attacking residents, and there are even rumors that serial killers did it, and the prisoners have not yet been brought to justice, and the search has just begun, and their new police officers are recruited to set up a new security team, in order to investigate such cases.
Leon couldn't help but wonder if this was an opportunity, if the not-so-good Commissioner Errones could be as good at scouting talent as an instructor at the police academy, maybe he could seize the opportunity to get a promotion and a raise? In any case, the training received at the police academy is the most rigorous, and it is time to show your strength.
"...... murderer?" Leon groaned, I will bring him to justice!
But I can't be too high-profile at first, after all, I have just graduated from the police academy, and I have to keep a low profile for a week or two, and when Director Alrons notices my excellent rating and superb shooting ability, then they will let me join the investigation of the case, and use my investigative ability to find things that no one else has discovered, fixed crime patterns, and multiple victim motives...... In this way, I can shine as a good police officer!
Leon Meimei thinks about her path to promotion and salary increase, but the first problem is...... You have to find a gas station to solve the problem of running out of gas.
"Gas station?" When Leon saw the gas station sign in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh that his luck was really good.
Drove the car into the gas station, at this time several cars were parked irregularly, and even blocked the normal driving passage, and there was a policeman parked in front of the convenience store of the gas station, but there was no one around, quietly, very strange.
Leon took the oil gun and refueled himself in confusion: "Strange, why is there no one?" β
"Bang-"
At this moment, there was a sound of broken glass from the grocery store.
Leon walked to the grocery store in confusion, and suddenly noticed some blood stains on the ground illuminated by the street lamp, as well as dragged marks, which rose to the gas station.
ββ¦β¦ This is also 'good luck' too much. "Before you even joined the company, the murder case is in front of you?
Leon pushed open the door of the grocery store and raised his voice and asked, "Hello." Is anyone there? β
It was dark in the grocery store, and an open flashlight was thrown at the door, and Leon picked up the flashlight and shone it around, and there were blood stains everywhere on the ground.
"Something is wrong."
Leon walked around the shelves and found a man in blue sitting on the ground with his neck covered by the drink machine, his neck was bleeding, even if he pressed the wound hard, there was still blood gushing out, and the injury was very serious.
"Are you alright?" Leon hurriedly rushed over to check the man's injuries, but saw the man in blue raise his hand and point to the warehouse at the door.
ββ¦β¦ Quick, go help him......" The man in blue said with difficulty.
Could it be that the murderer is still inside?
Leon said, "Don't move, I'll come to help you." β
With that, he pushed open the warehouse door and walked in. It was pitch black inside, and the items on the shelves were pushed to the ground, looking cluttered.
Leon stepped over the goods on the floor and walked all the way to the innermost office of the warehouse, and as soon as he pushed the door open, he heard a man's voice from inside: "Stand still!" β
The light of the flashlight swept over and saw an operator in a police uniform pushing another man against the wall with his elbow, Leon hurriedly asked, "Officer, do you need help?" β
"Sir, stand back!" The officer hurriedly raised his hand to stop Leon from approaching: "I'll deal with it!" β
Who knew that the police officer was distracted, and the man who was subdued by him directly pushed him away, instantly threw him to the ground, frantically biting the back of his neck, and pulling out the flesh and blood vessels.
When Leon saw this scene, he was immediately frightened and froze, but immediately came back to his senses and warned: "Hey! Let him go! Let go now! β
"Save ...... Help me! The officer called for help to Leon.
The violent man raised his head and saw that there was no trace of blood on his pale face, his eyes were white, a large piece of flesh had been torn off his left cheek to expose the blood vessels and bones inside, and a large piece was missing from his right face to the corner of his mouth, and the gums and teeth could be seen directly. He chewed on the flesh and blood of the police officer in his mouth, which looked extremely bloody and terrifying!
"...... What the! The scene in front of him refreshed Leon's cognition, and I am afraid that the most brutal murderer will not be like this!
The violent man staggered to his feet and walked towards Leon.
"Don't move! I shot! Leon pulled out his gun and aimed it at the knee of the abusive man, and with a "bang" shot, the man just staggered and continued to walk towards him.
"Bang-"
"Bang-"
"Bang-"
One shot.
Two shots.
Three shots.
Still couldn't stop the man from approaching.
Leon was shocked, this prisoner was ...... Demons?
"Bang-"
There was a loud bang behind him, and Leon looked back, and there was a "human" exactly like the monster in front of him rising up on the shelves behind him, and he shook his body, and when he got up, he knocked down the shelves, blocking the door of the warehouse.
"Damn it!" Leon didn't dare to entangle with the "demon" in front of him anymore, so he pushed down the shelf in front of him, crushed the zombie that had not been killed by three or four shots underneath, and then stepped on the shelf and jumped to the front.
Leon walked around to the office, only to find that the door to the convenience store was locked, and when he looked back, he saw a key hanging on the wall, and quickly ran over to grab it.
"Please! Come on! Be sure to open it! Be sure to open it! β
"Click-"
The door lock was opened.
Leon hurriedly pushed the door and ran out, and was dumbfounded when he entered the convenience store, inside the convenience store, at the cash register, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows...... Several zombies were attracted by the movement here, and they were staggering towards him.
This...... Is this hell!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Hah-"
Claire yawned, she was already feeling a little tired at the moment. But he didn't dare to let his guard down, after all, riding a motorcycle on a rainy night, once he wandered, it meant that the car was destroyed and people died.
Claire Redfield, the heroine of Resident Evil 2/Veronica/Apocalypse and multiple spin-offs, known as Kemm, Super College Girl, Red Jacket...... S.T.A.R.S Chris Redfield's own sister.
Chris and Claire lost their parents when they were very young, and her brother Chris took care of her in her place. Although Chris is only a few years older than his sister, he will help her sister in everything. Although Raccoon City is where her brother Chris works, she doesn't like the city...... Of course, the biggest reason is that he doesn't like his brother's boss, the dead fat man named Elrons.
Since Claire is out of town to attend college, Chris will give her a fixed monthly payment for living expenses, and will also call her once a week like an alarm clock.
However, Chris hasn't called her for a month and a half since he remitted her a "big sum" of living expenses a month and a half ago, and he hasn't even answered the phone.
Although Claire would love to try to convince herself...... The steel straight brother of the ultimate single dog has finally found a woman he likes, and at this time he is immersed in the world of two. However, not only the phone call, but even the few letters she sent in the past month and a half, there was no news.
And just today, Claire tried to call the Raccoon City Police Department, but she kept hearing a busy "doo-doo" sound, and she couldn't sit still anymore. The core of a city's security can't even make phone calls, what does it mean!
Claire was a little anxious, she remembered that her brother had said that if he didn't get a call on a mission, he could try to call his friend. But she learned from Barry, Brad...... Even when Jill, Cullen and others went to the phone one by one, no one of them answered.
At that moment, Claire's worries had turned into panic, and she immediately took a leave of absence from school and borrowed her roommate's motorcycle to go to Raccoon City.
"Bang bangβ"
Just as Claire's attention was on the road in the night rain, a burst of gunfire rang out at a gas station in the distance. In this dark suburb, the gunfire is particularly noticeable.
Unsure of whether it was curiosity or a sense of justice, Claire slowed down and headed towards the gas station.
"Uhhh
Claire stopped her bike and walked into the rest area of the gas station.
"Bang-"
Another gunshot sounded, seemingly coming from the location of the convenience store.
Because Claire was brought up by Chris since she was a child, she was often influenced by other members of S.T.A.R.S, whether it was case handling experience, marksmanship, or fighting skills...... can be compared with the most outstanding cadets of the police academy. At this time, she did not rush into the convenience store, but decided to hide in the dark to see the situation first, at least to confirm that it was the police or the prisoner who fired the shot.
Suddenly, an inexplicable stench came to her face, Claire couldn't help frowning, this smell should be the stench of some kind of meat waste that has been left for too long and has rotted, although I don't know what it is, but it is indeed very pungent.
"Click-"
There was a strange noise behind her, and Claire turned her head alertly, it was from the direction of the restaurant, she cautiously leaned over, standing sideways behind the wall, trying to look through the glass.
The whole restaurant is in a mess, and the only two remaining mildly lit yellow fluorescent lamps may be flickering due to poor contact. Looking inside through the window, the chairs and sofas were lying upside down, the menus, glasses, cutlery, etc. were thrown on the ground, and there were blood stains everywhere on the table and the floor...... Murder scene!
ββ¦β¦ Sure enough, did a murder happen? Claire didn't have a mobile phone, and if she wanted to call the police, she would have to sneak into the restaurant checkout counter, because there might be a contact number.
Claire cautiously sneaked into the dining room through the back door, and then went around the back hallway to the main dining room, not even seeing a single figure along the way.
"Has the prisoner already gone to the convenience store?" That way, Claire can safely go to the cashier and look for the phone.
Who knows, as soon as she stepped into the main hall, Claire was stunned on the spot.
Under the two tables in front of them, there were three people upside down, they either had no heads or no hands or feet, and none of them were complete anyway. And, behind the cash register, there were two figures who were pounced on something and frantically nibbled on it, making a "squeak" chewing sound.
At this time, the fluorescent lamp above her head flashed, and Claire saw the appearance of the figures clearly, and the two of them ...... They eat people, too!
Blame...... Monster!
Claire covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from screaming out of fear. And at this moment, the two "monsters" who were gnawing raised their heads, saw their new target, got up crookedly, stretched out their hands to Claire, moaned and moaned, and pounced.
Since they had just been nibbling, he still had some minced meat in his hands, and when they stood up, Claire's face was covered in blood and minced meat.
Seeing their faces at the moment, coupled with the disgusting smell around the tip of her nose, Claire held back the churning discomfort in her stomach and quickly escaped from the restaurant along the way she came. And when she stepped out of the restaurant, she found that a bunch of such "monsters" had appeared out of nowhere in the rest area of the gas station, staggering towards her.
Claire was forced in the direction of the convenience store, she tried to escape inside, and as soon as she pushed open the door of the convenience store, she saw a young man in a black coat with a parted hair raised a gun and aimed at him.
Claire subconsciously raised her hand: "Don't shoot!" β
"Get down!" The man shouted.
Claire hurriedly crouched down, only to see that the young man shot decisively, hitting the monster behind Claire with one shot.
"Are you alright?" The young man was none other than Leon, who had just witnessed a police officer being bitten to death by a zombie in the warehouse.
Claire looked at the monster on the ground and thanked Leon, "I, I'm okay at the moment, thank you." β
"Thank you later, we'll talk about it when we're safe." Leon's flashlight pointed forward, and he saw that more than a dozen zombies slowly gathered in the gas station, surrounding them from all sides.
