Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 666 Chris: How many 40-ton axes do you have?

Outside the tightly sealed infection area, there are three main local settlements of similar size in the south, east and north.

In the assignment of tasks, Chris and Sheva went to the south, Jill and Dave's target was the north, and the east was the area that the other two pairs of agents from the West African branch were responsible for because it was the largest and most complex.

Chris and Jill had no objection. These areas were only high-risk areas, not infected areas. It would be inconvenient to conduct investigations if they, who were obviously foreigners, went there.

After the task distribution was completed, everyone received three old off-road vehicles and set off for the mission area.

Dave straightened his cap and said, "Driving is my strong point! Ms. Valentine, please!"

Although this guy had spoken out of turn before, he was actually just a young man who didn't think much before speaking. When he really faced Chris and Jill, he was still respectful and didn't overstep the line, which saved some face for his previous gaffe.

Jill didn't care too much. She sat in the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt. Dave chuckled and said, "Watch it!"

He started the engine and completed a series of actions including starting, shifting gears and accelerating in almost the blink of an eye. The old-looking off-road vehicle burst out at an astonishingly high speed and rushed out with a whoosh!

Even Jill felt a strong push on her back and subconsciously grabbed the door handle. Dave, on the other hand, perked up, shouted, and drove away.

Chris, who hadn't started yet, was a little surprised by Dave's performance. Sheva explained, "He is really a professional at this and has won prizes in open rallies before... Although he doesn't think before he speaks, he doesn't have any bad intentions."

Chris looked at her. He had actually heard a little bit of her argument with Dave before, but this girl obviously did not hold a grudge. Instead, she was explaining for Dave. This made Chris see the deep friendship between the agents and soldiers of the West African branch.

This made Chris feel very relieved. He nodded and said, "I understand. If you don't have a strong temper, you won't be called a young man. Think about the apprentice I brought with me... No, it's okay. Let's go too."

When Sheva heard Chris mention that he had an apprentice, she was very interested. After all, she admired Chris Gill's deeds very much and would certainly not miss such important information.

But she knew now was not the time to ask about this, so she got in the car: "Shall we go too?"

Chris nodded to the other two groups of agents and got into the driver's seat: "Let's go!"

……

Chris was the closest and arrived first. The khaki SUV drove along the bumpy dirt road and stopped outside the settlement, and the two got out of the car.

The entire settlement is surrounded by a wall built with various scrap metal parts, but outside there are still some thin, dark-skinned, ragged and old-clothes local residents walking around.

Many of these settlements were included in the sphere of influence of local warlords. They even fought with each other, and the division of territory was very chaotic.

Of course, under normal circumstances, these local warlords dare not provoke the BSAA. Many of those special operations teams are former veterans of the US Army. They are good at dealing with biological and chemical weapons. If necessary, they can relive their past glory.

However, the two of them came here to investigate the infection situation, and they certainly couldn't strut around under the name of BSAA. They were dressed in plain clothes, and apart from the serum used to deal with the infection, they didn't even have any decent weapons and equipment.

At the walled entrance of the settlement, the two were unsurprisingly stopped by the warlord's henchman guarding the gate. He had a typical local appearance, wearing worn camouflage uniforms, sunglasses and a beret, and holding a classic AK rifle.

The warlord's henchman stopped the two people in a local dialect, muttering to himself while looking back and forth between Chris and Sheva. It was obvious that Chris's appearance, which was out of tune with this land, and Sheva's appearance, attracted his attention. Sheva could understand what he meant and said that he would let them go only after inspection.

The two men's action plan at this time was not to attract unnecessary attention, so as to avoid Erwin's discovery and escape, so they didn't say anything. However, the warlord's henchman was not very honest. Facing the proud figure of Sheva, he even wanted to touch her, but was pushed away by Sheva.

"Be careful." Sheva took out a stack of local currency and threw it over, then signaled to Chris, ignoring the warlord's minions and walked towards the gate. Chris followed, and the minion looked at the banknotes in his hand, and finally did not do anything stupid.

The two of them entered the settlement smoothly. Although Sheva didn't seem to notice, Chris, whose perception was becoming increasingly sharp, noticed that since they entered the door, countless pairs of eyes were watching them openly and secretly. Even the passers-by on the street who seemed to be busy with their own things were secretly looking at the two of them.

"Something's wrong!"

Today's Chris is no longer the reckless man he used to be. He is now more capable of analyzing intelligence and making judgments through thinking. His rich experience allows him to immediately understand that something is fishy.

He quickened his pace a little and patted Sheva's shoulder calmly. Sheva was slightly startled, but immediately realized that Chris had discovered something.

Although she really didn't notice anything, she didn't question Chris's judgment and immediately said, "Let's go find the intelligence officer!"

BSAA has set up intelligence specialists in these settlements to provide basic support for the agents. This time the intelligence officers here are not Leonard in the original game, but they are also under the unified management of Leonard.

Sheva immediately took Chris to look for the intelligence agent disguised as a butcher. On their way, the residents of the settlement seemed to be walking around carelessly, and then disappeared in a short time.

The originally bustling streets of the gathering place suddenly became extremely quiet, with only the faint whistling sound of the wind blowing the hot sand on the ground, and the twisted flow of hot air rising under the scorching sun.

Such a strange atmosphere naturally made Sheva realize that something was wrong. She quickened her pace and came to the butcher shop with Chris.

Fortunately, the intelligence officer here was safe and sound. This intelligence officer was a man of local mixed-race appearance, about 30 years old. After exchanging secret codes with the two men, he took out a large iron box with the BSAA logo from the secret compartment of the butcher shop. After wiping off the grease on the surface, a full set of well-maintained equipment was found inside.

Chris and Sheva moved quickly, changing their equipment and adjusting their weapons. Chris took out a heavy machete from the box, weighed it in his hand, and felt that it was a little light and not very suitable for the hand, but he still put it on the tactical sling.

After changing his equipment, he flexed his fists and looked at the intelligence officer: "What is the situation now? Do the residents here have any regular collective activities?"

The intelligence officer hesitated for a moment before answering in English with a distinct accent: "No... As far as I know, there is no such activity here. It's very strange."

"I'm afraid something unexpected has happened." Sheva gripped her pistol and walked towards the door. "I'll go check the situation."

Chris had no objection at first, but at this moment, he suddenly noticed a flash of cold light outside the door!
"Sheva--!!"

He suddenly shouted loudly, which scared Sheva. She paused and saw a twisted and rough crossbow arrow flying towards her from the corner outside the door!

Sheva had no time to dodge, but at this moment, a heavy machete came flying at an astonishing speed, accurately intercepted the crossbow arrow, deflected it, and stabbed deeply into the wall beside the door, making a dull sound. "Enemy attack!"

Chris shouted, and without hesitation, he raised his gun and took up the shooting position. After coming to his senses, Sheva also immediately picked up the gun, hid on the other side of the gate, and looked out.

On the street outside the butcher's shop, the villagers who had disappeared before reappeared, but their postures had all changed.

Their eyes were bulging, their eyeballs were filled with bloodshot, their mouths were unconsciously open, and some even had four disgusting mouthparts sticking out, obviously they were completely infected.

These local residents were holding a variety of crude weapons, which were basically kitchen utensils from their homes, and only a few could use rusty crossbows. But behind their team, there were also warlords holding rifles. These people were obviously infected, and judging from their movements with guns, they should have retained enough intelligence to use guns.

"Such a large-scale infection!?" Xie Wa almost exclaimed, "This is impossible, weren't they fine just now?"

Chris took a closer look, especially at the residents with four-petal mouthparts sticking out of their mouths, and confirmed: "It's the Plaka, and it's different from what was recorded... It's indeed a new species. It looks like we're in trouble."

There was no room for hesitation, because the infected people were gradually speeding up their pace, waving their crude weapons, and surrounding the butcher shop!
“Uaaaaaa——!!”

Chris and Sheva immediately started firing!

"Da da da da da-"

The rifles in the two men's hands spewed out flames and poured out bullets, knocking down the first batch of infected people who rushed up.

As BSAA agents, they certainly wouldn't be like those untrained people who didn't know how to attack the head. But the trouble with the Plaka parasites is that even if you blow up the infected person's head, they may evolve into a more difficult human-insect hybrid form in the form of "exploding insects".

So even though Chris and Sheva showed no mercy, the infected people's front line was still advancing rapidly, and soon the road in front of the butcher shop was completely blocked.

Up to this point, the warlords' gun-wielding minions and infected people in the rear had not even taken action.

Chris realized that this was not going to work, so he turned around and looked at the intelligence officer who was cowering in fear under the table in the butcher shop: "We can't stay here any longer, come with us, we're evacuating immediately!"

Although there is a mission to search for Erwin, this is obviously not the right time to do it. The enemy is outnumbered and their firepower is not overwhelming. We should retreat first and send the intelligence officer with little combat power to a safe area.

But the trembling intelligence officer said in a trembling voice: "No, no, the gate of the settlement is usually locked, we can't run out!"

Not all intelligence agents are elite members of the BSAA. Some are local residents. So it's not surprising that there are timid ones like him.

But he definitely can't go on like this now. Chris wanted to say something else, but he heard a loud noise. A tall, fat infected person with a cloth bag wrapped around his head rushed in from the back door of the butcher shop!
The infected man's body was full of iron nails of various sizes, his skin was covered with sutured wounds, and the terrifying weapon in his hand, which had a sledgehammer on one side and a giant axe on the other, emitted a heart-pounding smell of blood.

This is an elite enemy from the original game, the Executioner. Because he also appeared in the live-action movie adaptation, he is quite well-known.

The executioner rushed into the butcher's shop, swinging his axe at a speed far beyond the first impression, and without hesitation, he dropped it towards the intelligence officer not far in front of him!

In the eyes of the intelligence officer, the only thing left was the ferocious axe blade!

Seeing that this teammate who didn't even have a name was about to die under Chris's teammate-killing halo, a roar suddenly sounded in the butcher shop!

“Drink ah ah ah—!”

Chris shouted, then dropped his rifle and rushed over like a catapult. His muscles seemed to be bulging as if they were made of steel, and he swung a heavy punch wrapped in an invisible airflow, hitting the executioner's hammer from the side!

"Boom-!!"

With a long echo, the hammer axe, which looked extremely heavy at first glance, was interrupted by Chris's punch. The entire head of the hammer axe tilted almost against the intelligence agent's scalp, and finally hit the wall on the other side heavily.

Not to mention the intelligence agent, even Sheva was almost scared to death.

The sudden appearance of the Executioner was shocking enough, but what had Chris just done?
Did he knock the axe blade, which was almost one meter wide, away with one punch?

Even Sheva couldn't help but have a thought in her mind: Who is more of a monster, Chris or that infected person?
Chris didn't care about that. He knocked the executioner's hammer and axe off balance with one punch, then rushed forward and punched him with a Superman Punch, causing the opponent to stagger back and hit the wall.

Chris did not pursue him. He immediately came over and picked up the intelligence officer who had not yet recovered from his shock, and then shouted to Sheva, "Be careful outside!"

Sheva was startled and immediately ducked to avoid the flying stones and crossbow arrows. Then she heard Chris shout, "Throw the flash bomb!"

Without even thinking, she followed Chris' instructions, picked up a flash bomb and threw it out.

A strong flash of light, accompanied by a loud sound, erupted within the group of infected people. All the infected people around were affected, becoming twisted and their attacks stopped.

"As expected, Praka's weakness to strong light and sound waves still exists!"

Chris picked up the rifle he had dropped earlier, and continued to shoot at the executioner who had come to his senses, forcing him to retreat, while calling out to Sheva: "Let's go! Move our position!"

Xiewa nodded immediately, turned around and fired another flash bomb into the group of infected people, and then threw another one towards the executioner who retreated to the back door.

"Om-"

With two loud bangs, the infected group and the executioners were all controlled. Chris and Sheva took the intelligence officer and took the opportunity to leave the butcher shop and move to one side of the settlement.

During this process, Sheva watched Chris carrying a living person in one hand and shooting with the other, and still leaving her behind steadily. She couldn't help but marvel in her heart:
"Chris Redfield is indeed a man among men!"
