Evolution begins with Resident Evil

All enemies in the abandoned factory were cleared, and the battle was finally over.

After confirming safety, Steve did not say anything more to Claire, and ran out of the factory with the members of the second team.

Chris and Claire looked at each other and ran out after him.

Needless to say, Steve went to confirm Sylvia's situation.

The European branch soldier arrived here first to confirm the situation. He said in a heavy tone: "Captain Steve, she and that special monster died together."

In addition to Sylvia, too many brave people died tonight.

Steve looked at the BSAA flag on the ground, and Sylvia was underneath it.

He did not go over to lift the flag, but just clenched his fists and closed his eyes.

Recalling Sylvia's voice and smile in his mind, tears broke through the restraints.

This is the first comrade Steve has lost since he led the second team, and the first time is often the most profound.

"Steve..." Claire took the initiative to step forward and tried to comfort him.

Steve raised his hand, palm facing Claire.

He took a deep breath, wiped his tears, and said, "I'm fine."

Then, he said to his equally sad teammates, "Giovanni, contact the North American headquarters to report Sylvia's death."

Steve turned to the European branch soldiers and said, "Can you please prepare the coffin and the plane?"

The other party directly replied, "The minister is already preparing."

After hearing the casualties, Parker immediately asked people to prepare the funeral affairs of these sacrificed soldiers, so as not to let the sacrificed soldiers and the soldiers on the front line feel disheartened.

"Thank you." Steve walked over to Sylvia and said, "Bitel, help wrap Sylvia up."

It is far better to go home alive than to die in a horse's hide, so no one present said anything like that.

Silence is the greatest respect for the deceased.

Steve turned to look at the special monster and asked, "Have you checked this monster?"

After defeating the special monster, you must check whether the monster is dead.

"It has been confirmed. The few people over there are responsible for guarding it, and we will burn it together later."

No one will relax their vigilance before the monster turns to ashes. This is a lesson learned from the sacrifices of countless people.

The man pointed at his men and continued, "More than that, we found that the face on this monster came from Neil Fisher, who was kidnapped in the Terrasafe headquarters case."

In fact, what this means is that the monster was transformed by Fisher.

"He is the culprit of this incident." Claire immediately joined the topic and told what Fisher had done and his plan.

After hearing this, the soldier immediately reported the information.

Suddenly, a Hummer drove over and stopped in front of Chris.

"Captain!" Pierce got out of the car and came to Chris.

He also participated in this battle, but he was performing a sniper mission at the other end of the factory.

If he was given a choice, Pierce would naturally want to join the commando to rescue Chris.

But Steve, the front-line captain of this operation, believed that the other party was best at sniping, so he should stay in the position he was best at.

So Pierce did not meet up with Chris in the previous battle, and could only drive around from the other side after the battle.

Everyone exchanged information, and this incident was basically over, and the rest were just finishing things.

Although there was a kidnapping, it was no different from an ordinary biochemical crisis incident overall, and the culprit had been arrested.

So the biggest impact of this incident was that Luo Guang's GIMZ troops were invited to join the security system of Terrasever headquarters.

…

Steve and others took Sylvia's body back to the Lighthouse Country and soon held a funeral for her.

BSAA does not have a unified standard for the funeral of sacrificed members, and each branch formulates the relevant procedures according to the local customs.

Although Sylvia died in Europe, she was still buried in accordance with the regulations of the North American branch.

Chris was from the Lighthouse Air Force, so when he formulated the rules and regulations for this part of the branch, he chose a military funeral ceremony similar to that of the Lighthouse Military.

If it is in accordance with the regulations of the Lighthouse Military Funeral, the coffin should be sent to the church at first, and then the coffin should be sent to the cemetery by military vehicles such as artillery ammunition vehicles, which requires running to two places.

But the BSAA organization is not the military after all, and considering various factors, Chris reduced some of the ceremonies.

The first team led by Chris, the head of the North American branch, and the second team led by Steve formed the coffin escort.

They lifted Sylvia's coffin from the car, and carried the coffin directly to the cemetery where the funeral was held amid the salute of the participants on both sides, saving the church.

After the blessing of the pastor, Steve personally covered the coffin with the flag of the North American branch, then stepped back a few steps and took the rifle handed over by his teammates.

The original coffin escort became the funeral firing team. Under the prepared voice of Chris, everyone pointed their guns at the sky above, and they were all loaded with blank bullets.

The pastor read the prayer, and at Chris's command, Steve and others fired their guns into the sky in unison.

Repeated three times and after the prayer was over, the burial began.

There was no other words except the pastor's prayer and Chris's order.

As Sylvia's captain, Steve and the second team members covered the soil together. After everyone presented flowers, the burial ceremony was over.

…

Chris said to Steve: "Sylvia's pension has been donated to the BSAA Foundation in her name according to her wishes."

Although the money of this foundation will still be used by BSAA in the future, for purchasing weapons and equipment or issuing pensions, etc., the procedures and rules cannot be messed up.

So the North American branch still has to transfer the money to the foundation's account in the name of Sylvia Sommerette according to the will.

Steve nodded. The people attending the funeral were basically people from the North American branch, and there were no family members of the deceased.

Because Sylvia's parents were killed in the biochemical crisis incident a few years ago.

Claire and Shirley also came to the funeral, and they were the few people who did not belong to BSAA.

Shirley only received the news that Claire was kidnapped after the kidnapping case was solved. Then she immediately bought a plane ticket and came to the Lighthouse Country under the protection of Hank and Lone Wolf.

After Hank handed Shirley to Claire, he went on vacation, and Shirley and Claire came to the funeral together.

By the way, Leon was the first to know about Claire's kidnapping, but he couldn't leave because of something, so he had to leave everything to Chris and the others.

He didn't come to Claire afterwards, but just called her.

After the funeral, Claire looked at Steve and wanted to say something several times, but she didn't say it in the end.

She felt that Steve had become a little strange now, and his attitude towards her was no longer as enthusiastic as before, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Obviously, she didn't have such thoughts when she and Steve broke up before.

Is it because she used to assume that no matter when she met Steve, he would face her with a warm smile?

Shirley saw the other party's troubles, and when she was about to push, she saw Steve coming over from the corner of her eye.

"Claire, do you have time later?"

Claire was worried about what to do, but Steve took the initiative to find her.

Pierce on the side pricked up his ears and was about to eavesdrop, but was pulled away by Chris.

When Claire visited her brother once, Pierce was also deeply attracted to him.

He took the initiative to ask for the other party's contact information, and the two of them contacted each other several times by phone, but basically all of them revolved around Chris.

When they called each other, they avoided Chris, so he naturally didn't know that his successor also fell in love with his sister at first sight.

Claire said, "Yes."

She turned her head, handed her car keys to Shirley, and said, "Shirley, let my brother drive you home, I will be back later."

This was also the first time she took the initiative to send Shirley away.

"I know, I'll go find brother Chris now." Shirley is Claire's sweet little cotton-padded jacket, so naturally she won't go with him to get in the way.

She ran and jumped to find Chris to hitchhike home.

Steve waved goodbye to Shirley.

Claire took the initiative to leave the car to her brother, so he naturally knew what he was going to say next: "I'll drive you. I know a good cafe."

He was going to talk about serious things next, so he chose a quieter and more serious place.

"Didn't you like to drink sweet things before? For example, a bottle of happy water every day."

The name of happy water came from Luo Guang, and it was only circulated in their circle.

So Steve knew what the other party was referring to, and replied: "According to Luo Guang, the sourness and bitterness of coffee is the bitterness of growing up. I have grown up, so my taste has naturally changed."

He also likes to drink happy water now, but he is much more restrained than before, drinking a bottle a day.

In fact, the taste has not changed, but he can accept the bitterness of coffee now.

"How about your words?"

"I'm sleepy, but I still have a report to write, and it's due tomorrow, so I can only drink coffee to refresh my mind."

Claire smiled, this is the Steve she is familiar with.

She said: "Write the report early, didn't I teach you the template before?"

When there is no biochemical crisis, the weekly report of Terrasev is similar, so the template can be used naturally.

The BSAA organization is similar to Terrasev. When there is no biochemical crisis, Steve only needs to write a summary report once a month.

However, as the captain of the second team, he also had to prepare a daily training schedule, so he drank coffee more often and got used to the bitter taste.

He replied: "That won't work. The more templates are used, the less brains are used. We can't have inertial thinking."

In the biochemical crisis incident, there are basically monsters like zombies. When they, BSAA, encounter unknown types of zombies, they must not make empirical mistakes.

The two got in the car and came to the coffee shop.

A cup of black coffee and a cup of cappuccino, two drinks were brought to the table by the waiter.

Steve drank a sip of black coffee and said, "Claire, I like you, but I was discouraged later."

Claire nodded, rubbing the handle of the cup with her right thumb restlessly, and replied, "I know, sorry."

This time she didn't say that she didn't want to fall in love for the time being.

She also knew the reason why the other party was discouraged. After all, the other party had pursued her for so long, but she didn't respond.

Steve's pursuit for so many years was like doing a task that he couldn't see the progress bar and didn't know when it would be completed.

Claire is not a heartless person. The other party has supported her for so many years. How could she not be moved?

How could she, who was so delicate, not know that Steve had already thought of giving up at this year's party.

It was just that she had drunk alcohol at that time, and she didn't want to make irrational judgments under the influence of alcohol, which would only hurt Steve in the end.

"But after this incident, I found that I still like you so much. During the factory battle, I was always worried about your safety and felt endless power in my body."

Claire now knew Steve's entire plan to rescue the hostages, and the most dangerous part was that Steve sneaked in alone to find her.

If he was discovered, Steve would have no chance of escaping.

Her thousands of words turned into one sentence: "Thank you."

If Steve didn't arrive in time to help them clear the enemies on one side, the situation of the brother and sister who were attacked from both sides would be equally dangerous.

However, Steve didn't ask the other party to come here for confession this time: "If it were the old me, I would probably ask you again if you could be my girlfriend next, right?"

Claire's fingers stopped moving, and when she heard this, she didn't know why she felt a little nervous.

She asked, "Have you changed your mind now?"

"Yes and no." Steve explained, "After this incident, the idea of ​​being with you has become stronger, but I have more important things to do now."

He paused and said, "Just like you, in order to eliminate bioterrorism, I decided to put feelings behind for the time being."

Steve didn't think he was the child of destiny. If he wasn't careful, he might be wrapped in the BSAA flag and lie in a coffin.

This is the same reason why Chris didn't find a girlfriend.

Claire lowered her head slightly, her eyes on the cappuccino she hadn't drunk, and her hands felt the remaining warmth of the cup.

After a moment of silence, she looked up at Steve and said, "I'll wait for you this time."

...

Luo Guang was relieved after receiving the information that Chris and Claire were safe.

The only thing Arias needed to do was to clean up his biochemical weapons manufacturing factory and research institute, and he had told O'Brien.

So he continued to focus all his attention on the Apocalypse Organization.

Another month passed.

According to Li Qingxian's report, Luo Guang's plan of boiling frogs in warm water did not seem to cause much vigilance to the Apocalypse Organization.

In addition to the BSAA, the military and police of various countries also joined in the pursuit and interception of the Apocalypse Organization, cleared many of the Apocalypse Organization's bases, and eliminated or arrested many of the Apocalypse Organization's people.

After all, the Apocalypse Organization has now become an internationally wanted organization, and Luo Guang holds the righteousness.

It's a pity that those people are "peripheral" members, so all parties have not been able to dig out useful information from them.

But the reaction of the Apocalypse Organization made Luo Guang feel a little strange. The enemy did not fight back, nor did they take any special actions.

It gave him a feeling that it was more like indifference than a small reaction.

Li Qingxian's "inadvertent" investigation found that the Apocalypse Organization was gathering A-level and S-level adaptors to go to the mysterious headquarters.

Because of confidentiality reasons, he could only wait for the envoys of the Twelve Seats to pick up the couple to the headquarters, so Luo Guang did not anxiously ask Li Qingxian to ask, but waited patiently.

But no matter what, he felt that the new era that the Apocalypse Organization talked about all the time was about to arrive.

…

Meow.
