…
As a veteran policeman, Enrico was very confused about Shen Ye and had doubts about his identity, but he had to admit in his heart that Shen Ye might not have any ill will towards them.
Just like now, he was actually very confident in exposing his back to them completely. He could actually see such trust in a stranger.
Enrico's eyes flickered a few times, and suddenly he understood why Jill was willing to go with him. Perhaps she had already trusted this stranger.
Jill was still immersed in the news that Wesker was a traitor. She even wondered if Barry's abnormality was also related to Wesker. It was not until Shen Ye bumped her with his elbow that she realized that this was not a good place to think.
"We have to go. Maybe we can find some clues in this underground laboratory... But, Deputy Captain Enrico, you..." Jill looked at Enrico and said hesitantly.
Enrico's injury was not serious. Of course, the multiple wounds on his body caused him to bleed a lot, which looked scary, so he nodded and said, "It's just a minor injury. I just injected myself with medicine, so I should be fine."
As he said this, he stood up with the help of the wall, but the dizziness that followed made him lose his balance the moment he stood up. However, he still stood up straight with strength.
Then, he said to Shen Ye and Jill, "Let's go and find out the real secret of the mansion."
…
July 25th, 2 a.m.
The corridor of the underground research institute in the mansion.
The dense gunfire broke the silence in the corridor. The flames from the muzzles and the sparks formed by the collision of bullets with the steel walls seemed like an alternative fireworks display.
But Shen Ye and Jill had no intention of appreciating it, or rather, they were too busy to do so.
"Jill, you still okay?"
Shen Ye pulled the trigger hard and knocked down a zombie dog that pounced on him, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, two more zombie dogs appeared in his sight.
"Give me a little more time, Shen, hold on for a while longer."
Jill was extremely anxious. Not only was she extremely upset because she was unexpectedly separated from Vice Captain Enrico, whom she had finally met, but the door in front of her could not be opened.
She kept swiping an ID card she had picked up from a zombie's body on the identifier on the electronic door in front of her, but the indicator light kept showing the wrong red light.
"Please, open the door quickly."
Jill's forehead was gradually covered with beads of sweat. She could tell from Shen Ye's anxious voice that the situation was not good.
"Damn it!"
Suddenly, Jill heard Shen Ye's angry shouts. Worried about Shen Ye's safety, she turned around immediately, just in time to see a zombie dog pounce on him while he was changing the magazine.
"Shen!" Jill was shocked. Just as he was about to help him, he heard Shen Ye yelling, "Don't worry about me, just keep opening the door."
Along with his voice, what reached his ears were the barking of dogs and the roars of monsters deep in the corridor. There were more and more monsters.
Should I save him or continue to open the door?
Jill decisively chose the latter. She knew the consequences of not being able to open the door. She turned around and continued to swipe the card on the reader, while silently praying in her heart: "Shen, please don't be in trouble!"
In fact, a zombie dog could not pose much threat to Shen Ye. He strangled the zombie dog's throat with one hand, and took out the Glock pistol with an extended magazine with the other hand, and fired several shots at the zombie dog's head.
At such a close distance, even the weak 9mm pistol bullet opened the zombie dog's skull, and a large amount of blood and gray brain tissue spilled all over him.
Then he holstered his pistol and reloaded his rifle.
As soon as he changed the magazine, Shen Ye noticed several green monsters appeared on the ceiling of the corridor.
It's a hunter.
This is one of the BOWs that Shen Ye least wants to encounter. These monsters are not only more difficult to deal with than zombie dogs, but they are also creatures that act in groups.
Seeing them, Shen Ye couldn't help but feel bitter.
"It looks like I'm going to fail here. As expected, I was too confident."
But at this moment, the crisp "ding dong" sound of the electronic door identifier rang in his ears.
That door opened.
With hope rekindled, Shen Ye turned and ran, and at Jill's anxious call, he rushed into the room with her.
After entering the room, Jill frantically pressed the door-closing button inside, while Shen Ye kept shooting at the outside of the door to repel the hunter who tried to come in.
Finally, the door closed and they escaped again.
The two survivors looked at each other and sat down with their backs against the wall almost at the same time. They were already tired after running around and fighting for most of the night.
"Would you like some refreshment?"
After closing his eyes and resting for a while, Shen Ye suddenly felt the urge to smoke. He took out the unfinished pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, thought for a while, and handed another one to her.
"Uh... okay!"
Jill hesitated for a moment, but still took it. Although she didn't usually smoke, she didn't mind having one now. Her nerves were too tense and she needed to relax.
"I don't know what happened to Vice Captain Enrico." Jill lit a cigarette, took only one puff, and then frowned at the cigarette at her fingertips. She was a little worried about Enrico who was separated from them.
"He should be fine." Shen Ye took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke and said, "His injuries are not serious. As long as we are careful enough, he should be fine."
Of course, this was just to comfort Jill. The chances of survival for an injured person in a dangerous underground laboratory were too slim, not to mention that Enrico was a character who should have died.
Shen Ye even wondered if the so-called will of the world was forcibly correcting the plot, otherwise they would not have encountered groups of zombies and zombie dogs not long after they started walking.
"I hope so." Jill knew that Shen Ye was comforting herself. She sighed, threw away the burnt cigarette butt, stood up, and began to look around the room they were in.
"Shen, come here quickly, look what I found."
Soon, she made a discovery: she found a slide projector.
"Do you know how to use it?" Looking at the slide projector, Shen Ye went over and asked Jill. He had never used this antique before.
"Of course, that's what we use in the police force."
Jill nodded, then put the slides next to the slide projector into the projector. After turning on the switch, various images began to appear on the white screen on the opposite wall.
The first few pictures were information about some monsters, including the monsters they had just encountered. The information showed their characteristics and attack methods.
Jill frowned and kept switching slides. When she switched to the last slide, she found that the content was completely different from the previous ones.
It was a group photo. Everyone in the photo was wearing white coats, and there was a line of words at the bottom of the picture.
"Biological weapons research institute. Development team."
Suddenly, Jill's expression changed drastically because she found a very familiar face in the group photo.
—Albert Wesker.
"It's him indeed."
Although he had already learned from Enrique that Wesker was a traitor, when he actually saw this scene, Jill's eyes finally dimmed.
