In the Arklay Mountains, Rebecca looked for a long time at Billy Coen's figure as he disappeared into the distance. She finally withdrew her gaze, a look of reluctance on her face, and sighed to Javier.
"It's really something, isn't it...?"
"It is," Javier replied with a nod. "An upright person doesn't always get their reward and can even be framed. But what's admirable is that Billy Coen holds a sincere heart no matter what. And because of that, we need to work even harder to eliminate the Umbrella Corporation."
He then walked to the edge of the hill with Rebecca, and from their high vantage point, they saw the red mansion standing in the middle of the dark forest.
The mansion was different from the executive training facility. The executive training facility was specifically for training Umbrella's staff. Both William and Wesker, as students of the same mentor, had studied there. The training facility also predated the mansion by many years and, with Marcus as its director, even had its own laboratory.
The mansion, on the other hand, was a secret research facility built under Spencer's direct orders. On the surface, it was an Umbrella Corporation resort, but in reality, it was a secret lab for various biological viruses. It was built by George Trevor, a famous architect from Raccoon City.
Despite its outward appearance as a simple mansion, it was a world of its own inside. The mansion was filled with various traps and mechanisms and, like the training facility, had its own underground lab to kill anyone who dared to infiltrate it.
George Trevor initially had no intention of designing such a dangerous mansion. But he was in dire need of funds, and Spencer, the CEO of the famous Umbrella Corporation, still had a reputation as a benevolent person. Trevor couldn't refuse the high construction payment, so he accepted. After a very long time, the mansion was finally completed. To celebrate, Spencer invited the Trevor family of three to the mansion for dinner.
But in reality, it was a sinister trap.
Spencer had his men capture the Trevor family and keep them in the mansion as test subjects for the T-virus. George Trevor and his wife Jessica could not bond with the T-virus and died. Their bodies were discarded as waste in the corners of the mansion. Their daughter, Lisa Trevor, was lucky enough to bond with the T-virus, but this caused her to lose her mind.
For 26 years, Lisa was tortured by the Umbrella Corporation as an important test subject. During this time, she was injected with many different viruses, which caused her body to become monstrous. However, she survived with her obsession with her parents. Later, William, Marcus's rebellious student, even injected her with the Ne-a parasite—the same parasite as the third-generation Nemesis. Unexpectedly, Lisa consumed the entire parasite, and the strange fusion of the two viruses gave her back a little bit of her sanity.
William was astonished by Lisa's powerful ability to bond with viruses, so he extracted the virus from her body for research. It was then that William discovered the prototype of the G-virus within her. So, in a way, Lisa was the origin of the G-virus and the most perfect fusion host. Lisa, having regained some of her senses, began attacking the female employees in the mansion, tearing their faces off and pasting them onto her own body. She did this so that she would not forget her mother's face.
Later, the mansion was abandoned. William, having successfully extracted the G-virus, lost interest in Lisa and had her discarded as well. But unfortunately, Lisa survived with the powerful life force of the G-virus and continued to wander aimlessly in the mansion, hoping to reunite with her mother.
All in all, she was a pitiful child, a tragedy created by the Umbrella Corporation. For this alone, the Umbrella Corporation and Spencer can never be forgiven, and neither can William nor Wesker.
This also proves that the strongest boss in the mansion is not the prototype Tyrant, nor is it Wesker with his Progenitor Virus. It is Lisa, who has fused with a large number of viruses. At this point, Wesker has just fused with the Progenitor Virus and has not completely mastered it. He has no so-called "superhuman" body; he is only slightly stronger. But Lisa has been fusing with the T-virus for 26 years and has been injected with a large variety of viruses, all of which she has successfully bonded with. With the Ne-a parasite, she even developed the prototype of the G-virus. Even if this prototype is not as complete as the G-virus William is currently studying, it is still the original. Once Lisa wants to destroy everything, the G-virus in her body can unleash all her power at any time. At that point, not to mention a Tyrant, even a fully evolved Wesker might not be able to defeat her.
After all, among all the viruses in the history of Resident Evil, the G-virus has always held a special place. Its stubborn vitality, mutability, and rapid adaptability are unmatched by any other virus.
"..."
"Let's go. Let's see how the Umbrella Corporation committed its evil deeds in this mansion. It's also time to meet up with the other members of the S.T.A.R.S. team. We've been delayed for so long, and with the poor radio signal, the Captain might have been worried about us for a long time," Javier said to Rebecca as he looked at the red mansion on the hillside. Rebecca nodded. Indeed, she had been operating alone with Javier for a while, and the other team members should be very worried.
However, in reality, the Bravo team at this moment, except for Captain Enrico, has most likely been completely wiped out. The script is what it is. The other members might be great against terrorists, but against zombies... they might not be so excellent. So, there are bound to be casualties. And with the main character's passive ability to get their teammates killed, it's very difficult for them not to become cannon fodder.
But Rebecca didn't know these things. She just followed behind Javier and slowly walked down the hill toward the mansion.
Before leaving, Javier took out his Desert Eagle and looked at it. For some reason, after the enhancement, Javier felt that the gun's weight and power had increased significantly, even though there were no obvious changes. He didn't know if it was just his imagination. And that ridiculous Gun Kata... he felt as if he could use it anytime.
Raccoon City Police Department
"Buzz...!!!"
On the empty helipad, the cold evening wind and the airflow from the helicopter's spinning rotor blades stung the faces of the people standing in a line, but even so... everyone's expression remained serious, like machines waiting for orders.
In front of them, a tall, cold figure paced back and forth. He wore a blue police uniform, a simple bulletproof vest, and had slicked-back blond hair. His chiseled face was covered by dark sunglasses, adding a touch of mystery to his already cool demeanor. The man was handsome, but not many people liked him. His pale poker face gave a bad first impression, making people instinctively believe that he was very difficult to get along with.
And in reality, he was.
Albert Wesker, the captain of the Alpha team and the overall captain of S.T.A.R.S. for the Raccoon City Police Department, always wore a cold poker face, which made his colleagues feel intimidated.
But fortunately, while Wesker was hard to get along with, his abilities were undeniable. His intelligence, coordination, execution, and marksmanship were all impeccable. If you ignored his personality, he was an extremely capable person.
And at this moment, Wesker was, just like Bravo team's captain Enrico the day before, scolding and instructing his team members on the helipad:
"..."
"I'll only explain the mission once, so don't make me repeat myself. Listen carefully. You should all be aware of the serial murders in the Arklay Mountains over the past few months. Yesterday, the Umbrella Corporation's Ecliptic Express train unexpectedly derailed on the tracks in the Arklay Mountains."
"The police department has already sent Bravo team members to the Arklay Mountains to investigate, but unfortunately... they've gone missing. Their radio signals are gone, and almost no one has responded. With the huge explosion yesterday, the situation has become very serious. Therefore, the police department needs us, Alpha team, to also go and investigate."
"First, find out the source of the explosion last night. Second, search for the missing Bravo team members. Third, investigate the serial murders in the Arklay Mountains. Those are the mission objectives. If there are no objections, all members will board the helicopter and depart immediately!"
From behind his cold sunglasses, Wesker spoke in a low voice.
The remaining members of the Alpha team didn't hesitate and shouted in unison, "Yes, sir!!!" They then grabbed their gear and boarded the helicopter. Just like the Bravo team before them, the members of the Alpha team didn't seem to take this mission seriously. They were lightly equipped, with small bulletproof vests, walkie-talkies, a small pistol each, and a few extra magazines and a knife in their waist and leg bags. Going to fight monsters like this, it would be a surprise if they didn't die early.
"Buzz..."
"Dada dada dada----!!!"
As they boarded the helicopter, the high-speed spinning rotor blades made a piercing roar. All the members of the Alpha team were on board. Compared to the Bravo team, Wesker's Alpha team had one less person, but their overall combat power was much higher.
For example, their captain, Wesker, although he currently has multiple identities, has just fused with the Progenitor Virus, so his strength is not to be underestimated.
Then there's Chris Redfield. The famous male protagonist of Resident Evil. Although his popularity is slightly less than the charismatic Leon's, his frequent appearances in multiple games and his strong combat power, along with his special ability to get his teammates killed, have made Chris the official male protagonist of the Resident Evil series.
In comparison, Leon only appears occasionally and has become more of a guest star. However... at this moment, Chris is still very young and has not grown into a muscular tough guy. He is a tall and thin young man with short hair, a green police uniform, and a vest. He's a bit of a "pretty boy." It's hard to imagine how this Chris would later evolve into a muscular tough guy with arms as thick as balloons.
Next to him is the dream girl of countless Resident Evil fans, Jill Valentine. With her blue police hat, a clean and sharp ponytail, deep and heroic eyes, and a cold face that keeps people away, she is the epitome of the original Resident Evil mature heroine. Her tight blue long-sleeved shirt and white pants, which wrap around her long, curvy legs, along with a pair of high-heeled boots and a variety of holsters and walkie-talkies, make for a complete uniform temptation!
In the entire Raccoon City Police Department, Jill is a figure of admiration for countless male police officers. Unfortunately... her cold and proud face discouraged many people. However... if you got to know her, you would find that Jill wasn't so aloof. When she was with her friends, like Chris and Barry, she would smile.
Besides them, there is also the weapons expert, Barry Burton, a mature and steady middle-aged man with a beard, like a caring father. He likes to wear a red shirt and jacket and is also a long-time comrade of Chris and Jill. They talk about everything. He is skilled in weapon repair, and the weapon he holds is the most powerful among them, the Magnum revolver. In terms of preparedness... Barry, as a weapons expert, is a bit stronger than the others, but only a little, because a single Magnum revolver won't make a difference!
Finally, there are two pieces of cannon fodder...
Joseph Frost, a guy who likes to wear camouflage and a red bandana. He is good at using shotguns and was directly transferred to the S.T.A.R.S. team by Wesker. Because of his lively and cheerful personality, he is the team's mood-maker. He often charges bravely during missions and provides cover for his teammates, earning the trust of other S.T.A.R.S. members. Unfortunately, he was too reckless and underestimated the enemy, and a zombie dog bit his neck right after he entered the Arklay Mountains...
Brad Vickers, a timid and cautious guy. He usually has no presence in the Alpha team, but he has a good talent for piloting helicopters and other vehicles. Later, when he saw the terrifying zombies in the Arklay Mountains, he decisively piloted the helicopter and fled. But fortunately, he wasn't completely heartless and returned at the end to support Chris and Jill with a large amount of weapons... This guy was also very unlucky. Because of Chris and Jill's lawsuit and their attempt to expose the Umbrella Corporation's crimes, the entire S.T.A.R.S. team was targeted for assassination. He was hunted down by the Nemesis, impaled by its tentacles, and became an infected person...
