Shen Ye did not notice the driver's nervous look, and of course he would not say anything even if he saw it. He threw the stack of money to the driver and got out of the car with Roberta and Fabiola.
The driver took the money but did not count it immediately. He just turned his head and looked at the three people walking towards the village. After a while, he drove away.
However, he did not drive far before he stopped. He backed the SUV into a more secluded place, then took out the stack of bills and counted them. While counting the money, he thought to himself that he should wait here for a while. Maybe they would get scared and need his car again.
However, when he was counting the money, he did not notice that someone was approaching him in the dark corner...
…
Just like in the game, there is a small wooden house at the entrance of the village. It originally belonged to the hunter in the village, but this is also the beginning of the plot of Resident Evil 4.
Looking at the hunter's hut in front of him, Shen Ye pushed the door and walked in without hesitation. The car parked at the entrance of the village was empty, which meant that Leon and Chris had been in the village for a long time, so he was not worried about being attacked at all. What's more, he was extremely skilled, and Roberta and Fabiola were with him. Even if he was attacked, he didn't care.
After entering the hut, Shen Ye indeed saw the villager who had been shot dead - several 9mm pistol bullets had blown open its skull, and a large amount of red and white human tissue that looked like tofu brain was scattered all over the ground. There were also several bullet casings scattered about one meter in front of the body.
Where the shell casings were scattered, Shen Ye also saw two pairs of footprints of different sizes. Because a long time had passed, the mud marks left by the footprints had completely dried up.
No need to guess, Shen Ye also knew that this was left by Leon and Chris.
Roberta and Fabiola were also looking around the room, but they were purely looking at the decoration inside. It was just an ordinary hunter's cabin, and there was nothing that caught their interest except for a few animal skins.
Shen Ye clapped his hands, stood up, and was about to leave the cottage with the maids when he heard the roar of a car engine.
The three of them immediately rushed to the window and looked out, and saw that the off-road vehicle that brought them here was driving into the village at a high speed along the winding road.
"Is that driver crazy?" Fabiola asked in surprise.
But Shen Ye and Roberta saw clearly that the person driving the car was not the driver, but a man with a hideous face.
At this moment, Shen Ye had only one thought in his mind: "I have to save him."
Then he immediately rushed out of the cabin and tried to catch up with the SUV.
But just after the three rushed out of the cabin, a dozen villagers holding pitchforks and sickles suddenly jumped out from the bushes around the cabin, which were more than a person tall. They slowly approached them with red eyes and ferocious expressions.
When they saw them, Shen Ye and the other two raised their guns and started shooting. Since they had asked Shenhua for a large amount of ammunition in advance, they didn't need to be frugal like they were playing a game. After a burst of intense gunfire, all the villagers fell down.
However, these villagers all have Plagas parasites in their bodies. Although the explosion rate of Plagas parasites is not high at this stage, nearly half of the villagers still crawled up with sickle-shaped tentacles on their heads.
Unlike the subordinate parasites that Shen Ye and his companions encountered on the train, these parasitic villagers in front of them had a stronger desire to attack and moved faster. After the parasites in their bodies exploded, they immediately attacked the three people, and their bodies' ability to withstand attacks was also stronger.
Fortunately, the three of them had top-notch marksmanship. Faced with the parasites that were rushing towards them at a crazy speed, they were able to knock them down with just one round of shooting.
After dealing with these parasitized villagers, Shen Ye took Roberta and Fabiola and rushed into the village. He had played both the old and remastered versions of Resident Evil 4 and was very familiar with the terrain of the village. It didn't take long for them to arrive near the village square.
But they were still a step too late. The driver's body was hung on a huge tree in the center of the square by a group of villagers with an iron hook, while other villagers kept placing wood around the corpse. It looked like a new "sacrifice".
In addition, Shen Ye also saw a corpse in the corner of the square. The corpse, which was in a fist-like shape, was obviously the policeman who was burned after death in the game.
However, to Shen Ye's surprise, the driver was not dead yet. After being hung on the iron hook, he made a creepy cry.
Shen Ye sighed deeply, then snorted coldly, and rushed out of the bunker with Roberta and Fabiola, guns raised, shooting as they moved towards the center of the square.
The three of them changed into rifles on the way here. They were AK74U equipped by Balalaika, and they also carried a 100-round drum magazine. Although the 5.45-caliber bullets have always been criticized for their less destructive power than the 7.62-caliber bullets, when facing the parasitic villagers who are unaware of pain, the rolling action with a certain probability after the small-caliber bullets hit the flesh perfectly makes up for the lack of destructive power. It is not so easy for the villagers who were knocked down by them to get up again.
Under the fierce shooting of three rifles equipped with 100-round drum magazines, dozens of villagers gathered in the center of the square fell down in an orderly manner like wheat being cut. Even if some explosive worms climbed up, they fell down again after a few long bursts of fire.
After killing all the villagers in the village square, Shen Ye told Roberta and Fabiola to pay attention to their surroundings, then he walked up to the driver who was hanging on the iron hook and picked him up.
At this time, the driver was only half breath away. Shen Ye tried to rescue him, but could not stop the blood flowing from the wound on his chest, so he had to give him an injection of adrenaline.
Not long after the injection, the driver opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Shen Ye, he said with difficulty: "I... originally... wanted to wait for you..."
The iron hook pierced his chest and damaged his lungs, so when he spoke, blood and bubbles came out of his mouth.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have involved you." Shen Ye sighed.
The driver shook his head: "Customer...you paid..."
When he said this, he pointed to his shirt pocket: "Wallet... address..."
Shen Ye immediately took out a wallet from his shirt pocket, opened it, and saw a family photo. Then he understood what he meant.
"I will send someone to give your family the reward you deserve." Shen Ye said.
But the driver did not respond. He had closed his eyes forever.
Looking at the driver's body, Shen Ye sighed again, then carried the driver's body to the car parked at the entrance of the square, and then took Roberta and Fabiola to continue moving deeper into the village.
