Evolution begins with Resident Evil.

Chris was no stranger to the word zombie, but he felt that the three people in front of him seemed different from any he had seen before.

"But zombies don't do that kind of thing." This is the biggest doubt in Chris's mind.

"Stop talking about this, I feel sick just thinking about that scene." Carlos smiled bitterly and continued: "But no matter what, this bungalow is in such a remote place, and the people inside are all infected. I think the people in the small town The situation probably won’t be too good.”

Chris has long been mentally prepared. Before each mission of Resident Evil, he expected to see hellish scenes again.

He nodded in agreement with Carlos and called Steve over the radio to come up and collect the sample.

This is also a process used by B.S.A.A. to deal with biochemical crises. The purpose is to research vaccines or serums. After all, no one can guarantee that the same biochemical crisis will not happen again in the future.

Steve had learned a lot when working with Claire in Tedrella, so this kind of blood sampling work was naturally not a problem for him.

"Why is this man..." The adult Steve looked at the man without pants and asked.

"Don't ask, I don't want to recall that scene." Carlos interrupted directly.

After everyone confirmed that there were no survivors in the bungalow and there was no secret room, they gathered in front of the bungalow.

"These situations were not mentioned in the Lighthouse Nation's intelligence." After exchanging the intelligence, Steve said dissatisfied.

Chris reported the intelligence in the bungalow to B.S.A.A.'s server. People from the American branch would then share the intelligence with the Lighthouse Country. He then said, "There is no way. The military did not send anyone in to investigate after sealing off the crisis area."

"As for the F.B.C. who conducted the investigation first, they will definitely not share the information with us. Those people still want us all to die here." Opold took over what Chris said.

"Damn Guest Z." Steve cursed angrily.

"Okay, you're still young. You'll get used to this shit in a few years." Carlos, who was in his twenties, pretended to be mature, then turned to Chris and said, "Are you done?"

"Okay, let's keep going."

Chris put away the reporting machine and lectured Steve: "Don't say anything that can easily be used to get someone to take advantage of you."

What he said was not that he didn't trust Carlos and the others, but he was just teaching Steve how to do things and not to repeat the mistakes he made in Raccoon City.

"Got it." Steve sounded a little impatient.

Chris's words were correct, and he was still the future brother-in-law in his heart, so he would not refute, but he was not used to this kind of preaching tone.

Also, he was smart and decided to use pronouns to refer to those assholes from now on.

After advancing for a while, they suddenly heard a crisp gunshot from the forest.

Carlos and Chris looked at each other, quickened their pace, and soon saw the light of fire not far away.

With a gesture, Chris asked everyone to surround him.

……

"Tyler! Are you okay?"

Taylor pushed his girlfriend's arm away, ran to the other side, knelt on the ground and vomited.

When he calmed down a bit and raised his head, he saw someone standing not far away from him, pointing a gun at him.

"Don't shoot! I was in self-defense! I didn't want to kill him!" Taylor, who raised his hands in surrender, shouted in a cold sweat.

Clang.

Tyler heard the sound of something falling behind him.

Looking back, his girlfriend had raised her hands in a surrender gesture, and the baseball bat was thrown to the ground by her.

"Beside the man's feet was a Winchester M70 shotgun, and the woman was holding a bat in her hand. She looked like a civilian trying to survive."

It's not unbelievable that there are guns in this country. Carlos judged the identity of the two people by the way they dressed and the way Taylor vomited.

Chris stepped forward and said: "We are B.S.A.A., the United Nations' Bioterrorism Defense and Assessment Alliance. Are you okay?"

After he finished speaking, Carlos did not reveal his identity as G.I.M.Z.

Because the name of an official United Nations organization is always easier for civilians to accept than the name of one's own mercenaries.

The girl’s name was Su, and she replied: “We’re fine, Taylor just gave his teacher to... But we didn’t intend to kill anyone, it was Abraham who suddenly got angry and rushed over, and he also used a shovel to kill the people over there before. He even ate his... internal organs."

It was Taylor who fired the shot, but not before Sue hit Abraham on the head with a bat.

After hearing Su's description, Taylor's vomiting sensation that had just subsided came back again, and this time he vomited out his gastric juices.

"We received news that there was a biological crisis here, so the Lighthouse Country sent us over to understand the situation."

Chris made a gesture, asking everyone except Carlos to be on guard around the area, and then asked Su, who was in a relatively good mental state, about the situation.

"First of all, can you tell us what you know?"

Su shook her head. She didn't know what happened here. It was fine during the day, but a biological crisis occurred in the middle of the night.

The reason why Taylor's teacher Abraham changed his temperament drastically, became full of aggressive desire and even gnawed on human bodies was probably because he turned into a zombie.

After the matter was reasonably explained, she calmed down quickly.

Carlos recalled the information given by his employer and planned to ask based on the only clue: "Did anything happen after the earthquake?"

"That wasn't an earthquake, it was a volcanic eruption... No, it wasn't a volcanic eruption either."

Su recalled what they saw after they were woken up by the earthquake in the middle of the night.

"There's no need to worry about whether it's an earthquake or a volcanic eruption. Just tell me what you saw."

"Ok."

Su took a deep breath, sorted it out and said: "Anyway, a violent vibration woke us up. Then we looked out through the window and found a large cloud of black smoke spewing out from the bulge in the center of the island, and then headed towards the town. drifting in the direction."

"Su, let me talk next."

Taylor was a local and was more familiar with this place. After wiping his mouth with his sleeve, he stood up and said, "I thought the volcano was about to erupt, so I planned to take Suta back to the city for refuge. Then we passed by Abraham Teacher's archaeological dig camp.

Abraham is my junior high school history teacher, and he is here to study the history of the island.

But when we came here, we saw him using a shovel to dig into the belly of the Durance family lunatic until he was cut off at the waist.

In order to stop him, we tried to scare him with a gun, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he turned and pounced on me. In desperation, Su hit him on the head with a bat. Later, during the fight, I accidentally buckled the ball. Trigger him..."

He said this clearly to show that he was acting in self-defense.

"Okay, you don't have to say any more." Chris interrupted, shooting someone he knew was not an easy thing, whether it was an accident or not.

They are not judges, and it is not their decision whether Taylor or Taylor will be found guilty of self-defense.

Moreover, he had met the Durance family before and knew that what Taylor said might be true.

So Chris is not like the lighthouse police in some movies who just think the other person is talking nonsense and then lock him up as a bad guy.

Now they know that poor Mr. Abraham seems to be in the same situation as the Durance family, indicating that this is not a hereditary disease in the family.

Carlos interrupted and asked, "Is there a pharmaceutical company or chemical plant on your island?"

Although he didn't know why the other party asked this, Taylor, who grew up on a small island, answered truthfully: "No."

Then he asked with a bit of anger: "Are you saying someone deliberately put a virus here or something like that?"

Resident Evil propaganda has been going on since the Umbrella trial, so Taylor quickly thought of that aspect.

"That's why we're here, to investigate the truth about the biohazard."

Carlos continued to ask in detail: "By the way, does the name Smoke Island come from the black smoke your girlfriend mentioned? Have you ever inhaled that black smoke?"

This archaeological camp is located between the center of the island and the town, and should be within the range of the black smoke.

Chris, who was listening on the sidelines, understood that Carlos suspected that there was something wrong with the black smoke, so he took out the air monitor to check, but it still showed that there was no problem with the air.

"Our vacation cabin is on the north side of the island and has not been affected by the black smoke. As for the name of the island, I don't know much about it."

At this time, Taylor only regretted that he had no talent for learning. Abraham had given him a "make-up lesson" on the history of the island half a day ago, but as a result, he, a local, could not answer the other party's questions.

But his girlfriend Su is a top academic and happens to be majoring in history, so she still remembers what Abraham said.

"I remember. He said that this Smoke Island is not like other places where you can dig up mysterious writings or strange cultural relics. You can only dig up a lot of corpses.

Regardless of whether they were men, women, children or animals in the forest, they were all buried together... and according to research, it was found that most of these corpses had been dismembered and raped..."

Hearing what Su said, Carlos and Chris both recalled what they saw in the Durance family bungalow, and it seemed to correspond to them.

“According to Abraham, these things were not done by the colonists who landed on the island later. When they came to the island, there were no living people.

The reason was a civil war among the island's indigenous people, and the colonists who landed on the island just buried them together. "

"Didn't people at that time settle down without further investigation?" Carlos asked.

Taylor also recalled it and shook his head: "At least these were not mentioned in the town's chronicles. It was Teacher Abraham who excavated and found the remaining records and then speculated."

"Has this black smoke appeared again since then?"

"My family has been on the island for generations and I haven't heard any of these stories from them."

Taylor could only answer Chris' question sideways.

Chris and Carlos nodded simultaneously.

If there are no clues or evidence that other biohazards are man-made, this biohazard may be a "natural" disaster.

They were not surprised by this, because Umbrella's T-virus was extracted and improved from an ancient virus.

Chris thanked them for their intelligence and took out his satellite phone to contact the branch's command center.

"This is Chris, help me contact the Lighthouse Country and ask them to use satellites to check whether the movement of the black smoke that appeared after the Smoke Island earthquake has affected Portland.

Yes, according to the clues we found, the source of this residential evil incident may be this smoke. "

As he spoke, he told the command center one by one the information he collected and recorded it.

Unlike the previous upload via text message, he called this time because he had a lot to report, so in order to prevent omissions, he explained the situation to the command center in front of everyone.

Allow others to make prompt corrections.

After writing down the key points, the liaison officer took the initiative to tell Chris the new information he had received as requested before departure.

"Boss, the F.B.C. is conducting a rescue operation, but I heard that the situation is not very good. Something went wrong when evacuating city residents, and the scale of infection has expanded to more than half of the city.

Fortunately, the military gave them cover and stepped up in time, otherwise the entire city would have fallen, or even the blockade would have been broken. "

"Damn it. What the hell are those people doing!" Chris was not happy about the failure of the F.B.C.

The liaison officer did not answer, and continued businesslikely: "Also, the latest shared intelligence from the F.B.C. mentioned that the transmission route of zombies is bodily fluids, which are the black things on zombies."

B.S.A.A. submitted useful information, so that F.B.C. did not dare to hide their secrets, and also shared some information that Chris and others would know sooner or later.

"Roger, Over."

Chris hung up the phone, then took out the map and said to Taylor and the two, "You two, go to this place and wait for us to come back."

"What about you?" Taylor was a little anxious. His parents and pet dogs were in town.

Chris answered patiently: "We are going to the town to search for survivors...and to free those who have turned into zombies."

"Can you take me with you? Although I go to college away from home, the town has basically not changed. I am still very familiar with it and can guide you."

Sure enough, when Carlos knew that Taylor was a local, he knew that the other party would most likely make this request.

"Taylor, what should I do?" Su grabbed Taylor's hand and asked directly.

Taylor shook his lips and said, "Su, it will be very dangerous next. Just go back to the cabin and wait for me to come back."

"Don't leave me alone, I'm afraid!" Su begged.

"Sorry, my parents are still in that city." Taylor was shaken, but still did not change his decision.

"Hey, hey, you two, we didn't say we were going to take any of you on the road." Carlos interrupted the two of them.

Chris nodded and said in a gentler tone: "I'm sorry, both of you. For your safety, I suggest you follow our advice..."

"Hey! Are you asking me to give up saving my parents?" Taylor was very dissatisfied and became emotional.
