Chapter 19: Across the Pacific
"So you attacked that guy to save us."
Japan, Bed Owner City, an ordinary residential building.
After cleaning up the zombies nearby, Yang Chao, Cheng Ying and the four foreigners they just met were talking with solemn eyes.
Through the self-introduction of both parties, Yang Chao already knew their identities:
The black uncle is a high school football coach, because his name Coach means coach, so everyone calls him coach. According to the other three, he has a forgiving heart, a good appetite, and an "evil" chainsaw that he uses to deal with the zombies.
The young white guy is called Ellis, a car mechanic who loves machinery, and as Yang Chao expected, he is 23 years old, the same age as Yang Chao's real age.
Dressed in a white suit, the man who looked like Sven was named Nick, and he was the one who was in charge of communicating with them in Japanese. His profession is peculiar - he is a gambler, and before this Resident Evil broke out, his experience was drifting from city to city, which is why he is multilingual.
The only woman, Lochelle, is black like the coach, she is a low-level reporter for a big-name news station and loves music.
According to their own accounts, the four of them came from the other side of the Pacific, the southeast of the United States, and got together for various reasons after the outbreak of the epidemic and began the road to survival.
After several hardships along the way, they finally boarded the escape helicopter, only to find out that the pilot was infected after boarding the helicopter, and finally the helicopter crashed on a small island in the Pacific Ocean, and the four surviving people radioed the captain of a ship.
Who knew that after boarding the ship, they found that the captain was also infected, and after losing their way in the ocean, they ran out of fuel and finally managed to see the mainland, and after going ashore, they found that this was Japan.
Yang Chao was dumbfounded when he heard the experience of the four people.
Cheng Ying, as a person who traveled from the Southern Song Dynasty to modern times, does not understand the concept of going from the United States to Japan, but Yang Chao is different, he clearly knows that from the United States to Japan has to cross the entire Pacific Ocean. The distance of more than 10,000 kilometers takes more than ten hours even by plane!
To be able to arrive in Japan when the pilot of the plane was infected and the pilot of the ship was infected again can only be said to be a stroke of luck.
Wait a minute!
Thinking of this, Yang Chao suddenly reacted.
This kind of plot that has gone through many hardships and dangers but finally succeeds sounds familiar!
Yang Chao and Cheng Ying glanced at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
The main character, definitely the main character!
To be able to do this can only be the protagonist.
Thinking of this, Yang Chao no longer hesitated, and immediately asked, "By the way, I heard that you just called that zombie Witch?" Do you know where it came from? ”
After hearing Yang Chao's words, the coach sighed, "Of course I know." ”
As he spoke, he told the whole story.
"Have you heard of Umbrella Corporation?"
"Nope."
Yang Chao shook his head, it seems that this time it must have something to do with this company.
Really. Just listen to the coach continued, "The umbrella company is a super monopoly in the world, both politically and economically has a pivotal position and maintains a good social image, but it is such a company, but it is the culprit of this global disaster!" ”
The coach's description made Yang Chao and Cheng Ying finally know the truth of the whole thing.
Beneath the glossy surface, the Umbrella Corporation is engaged in nefarious research, a kind of research against humanity, and one day, this research has caused catastrophe.
A terrible virus has leaked from a research lab in Raccoon City in the western United States, and the entire staff of the lab has been turned into lifeless infected. With this as a flashpoint, the entire raccoon market was quickly infected.
Subsequently, in order to cover up their crimes, the umbrella company took emergency measures and colluded with the US military to directly use nuclear bombs to destroy the entire Raccoon City.
Originally, they thought that by doing so, they would control the virus. But the virus is still inevitably spreading, and what is even more terrifying is that the virus gradually mutates in the process of transmission.
"They" have gradually evolved several special infections from the low-level zombies that can only walk slowly and rely on hearing to find the living.
Special infected people are more powerful beings than normal infected people. And each has different characteristics, as the survivors gradually fight with them, and get to know them better. Naturally, they were named one by one.
There are a total of eight types of special infections known to the four.
Boomer, also known as the vomiter or also known as the Fat Man, is a type of infected person characterized by an obese body, pustules, and a grunting sound.
Boomer is characterized by its slow movement speed and fragile health, making it very easy to shoot. However, Boomer can vomit on survivors, and when they are vomited, their vision is greatly obstructed.
The distinctive smell of vomit will immediately attract a large group of zombies, who will prioritize the survivors with the vomit on their bodies.
Hunter, also known as fleas and frogs. It is also a type of special infected person, characterized by hooded clothing.
Hunter is the fastest and most mobile of all the Special Infected. It makes a creepy cry while crawling, and can perform long-range pounces, as well as triangular jumps on walls and ceilings.
Hunter likes to take down living people, and can suppress the downed living people and constantly attack.
Smoker, also known as the Woman with the Long Tongue and the Monster with the Tongue. It has green clusters of cells, coughs constantly, is slightly taller, and has tumors on half of its face.
Smoker is a very cunning special infected, hiding in corners, sticking out his tongue to tie up survivors and dragging them around. When Smoker is killed, the original cluster of cells will instantly spread, and a large number of dense clusters of cells will obstruct the view.
Boomer, Hunter, and Smoker, the three special infected, are the three that Yang Chao fought that night. When the foursome talked about Yang Chao, he immediately reacted.
Spitter, vomiter, is also known as the Acid Woman and the Slit Woman. It is characterized by a feminine appearance, and the mouth is able to open wide. Green liquid constantly flows out of the mouth, and a high-pitched cry is made.
It sprays a green, corrosive liquid into the distance, and when a survivor touches the liquid, the survivor will continue to be injured until it is out of range. When the Spitter is killed, the same green liquid oozes from the body.
Yang Chao hadn't met the Spitter, but according to Komuro's previous description, it was it they encountered when they went to save Alice that night.
Witch, witch.
Needless to say, Yang Chao has just seen it. It has little to no clothing on its body. Has a pair of bright red eyes and blood-red claws.
During the day, the Witch cries and walks around, and at night the Witch crouches on the ground and cries. The voice of the witch can be heard within a certain range.
To Yang Chao's surprise, the horror of Witch was far beyond his imagination.
The Witch does not actively attack, but it will be provoked by external stimuli, such as if it is continuously exposed to a light, attacks the Witch, or gets too close to the Witch for a long time.
At this point, the Witch will show its powerful attack power, and it will rush in front of the person who attacked it at an incredible speed, knocking them directly to the ground. As long as you are knocked down by Witch, there is only one result. That is death.
As a result, the Witch is one of the most terrifying special infections known, and once they get close to it, there is only a dead end waiting for them. However, like other zombies, its weakness is also its head. Just shoot it in the head and it's okay.
Ellis hadn't been able to get a headshot at it before, but Nick had been able to sneak up on it while it was focused on others.
"If you encounter a Witch, you can hide if you can, unless it's from a distance. Have the confidence to kill it, or don't mess with it! You're too close to it today, that's why we're shooting at it. ”
Speaking of which. The coach taught Yang Chao and Cheng Ying earnestly.
For his kindness, Yang Chao and Cheng Ying nodded yes and expressed their gratitude.
In addition to these kinds of infected people that Yang Chao has already seen, there are three kinds of infected people that Yang Chao has not seen, and the coach also introduced them to Yang Chao one by one.
The Charger, characterized by suspender overalls, is large, with a large right hand and a small left hand, and emits a low roar when attacking.
The scary thing about it is that it will go straight at the target, grab it with that right hand, and keep hitting the ground until it knocks the person to death.
Jockey, characterized by a hunchback, emits a strange laugh. Due to its short stature, it is often overlooked, but this is a terrible special type of infection.
It jumps onto people's backs, and those riding it will walk uncontrollably, and once they are ridden by Jockey, they will often be taken to the zombie hordes and brutalized.
Tank, a special infected person of extremely large size, is tied with Witch as the two most terrifying special infections.
It can directly dig through the ground to create cement and rubble blocks for throwing attacks, and once encountered, there is basically no possibility of escaping except hard work.
Because although the tank is huge, it is very agile, ordinary people can't run it, not to mention, even if it encounters the terrain of the cliff remnants, it can also climb around on it vigorously, and its vitality is the strongest among the special infected.
After listening to the coach, Yang Chao's face became a little up.
Of these eight special infected, the others are easy to say, but one-on-one, neither Tank nor Witch is sure of victory.
Not to mention that there's a good chance they'll all appear at the same time, and if that happens, his hopes of going sideways in this quest will be dashed.
"Don't worry, Yang", as if seeing Yang Chao's concern, Ellis smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "The number of special infected people is very small, such as Boomer and Jockey, only one in a thousand ordinary zombies will appear, like Tank and Witch, even if there is not one in ten thousand ordinary zombies." ”
Yang Chao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Bed Master City has a population of one million!" ”
At this moment, he and Cheng Ying received a system reminder at the same time:
"Get virus clues, reward points 500, random reputation points, and increase the favorability of coaches, Nick, Ellis, and Rochelle."
Hearing the system's reminder, Yang Chao asked quietly, "Where are you going next?" ”
The root of the virus is really in the United States, Kong Zhang, that guy must know something! Yang Chao had secretly made up his mind to dig out everything he knew from Kong Zhang's mouth, and he would never allow himself to return empty-handed this time!
The coach and the other three looked at each other and said rather embarrassedly:
"This ...... We haven't thought about it yet. ”
Haven't thought about it? Okay, so let me think about it for you, right?
Yang Chao said in his heart.
"Don't you want to go back to your homeland?"
"My hometown is in ruins."
Nick said lightly.
"Nick's hometown is in Raccoon City, but he was wandering in other cities when the virus broke out, so he wasn't affected."
The coach explained.
Through the conversation with the four people during this time, Yang Chao has also seen that among the four people in the group, the coach is a leader, with a wide heart and a fat body; Ellis is the youngest, and when he speaks, he has a heavier country accent and is more enthusiastic; Rochelle is outspoken and the same type as Ellis; Nick is taciturn and doesn't seem to be easily gullible to strangers.
"What's more, now that the whole world has become a paradise for zombies, it doesn't really make a difference where it is." Ellis's face was also a little gloomy.
The taste of being uprooted from his hometown is certainly uncomfortable, but even when he returns to his hometown, he is greeted only by the devastated buildings and infected people who have lost their sense of autonomy.
"What about you, Yang, do you ever plan to return to your hometown?"
"China?"
After hearing the coach's words, Yang Chao was slightly stunned, since he came to the infinite space, the copy he experienced was either an ancient background like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", or an overhead background like "Diablo 2", and it was the first time he came to such a modern background.
The coach's words really made Yang Chao have an urge to go to China to see.
But he quickly overcame that impulse.
The main quest makes it clear that he only has thirty days. Yang Chao didn't know if there would be other follow-up missions after completing this main quest, but if they didn't, it would mean that they would be about to return to Infinite Space after thirty days.
If Yang Chao was still in China or even on the road to China at that time, wouldn't it be a very tragic thing? But so far, I haven't been able to contact Gong Weiyang, where did this guy go?
On the west coast of the United States, a city across the Pacific Ocean from the city of Bed.
"Lao Gong, look fast, there's a licker in front of you!"
A teenager pointed to the monster crawling on the ground in front of him and shouted excitedly. (To be continued.) )
