TerraSave, as a logistics department, had a much lower danger level than BSAA, so Chris was relieved!
However, as a member of the cursed Redfield family, how could Claire not encounter danger? Just look...
When the members of TerraSave were organizing a gathering, Moira Burton, the daughter of Barry Burton from the former S.T.A.R.S, participated.
Because Barry, the good-natured old man, had taken in Chris and Claire when they were young, Claire was very familiar with Moira, Barry's daughter, who was like a father and a friend to her.
The two could be said to be good sisters.
Barry's daughter, Moira, secretly joined TerraSave during this gathering, becoming one of its members, without telling her father. Her actions were almost identical to Claire's, truly sisters.
Barry himself had a very strained relationship with his daughter, Moira. Barry had two daughters, the elder daughter Moira and the younger daughter Polly.
Something happened when they were young: Barry, a firearms expert, after finishing target practice, placed his pistol on the table without engaging the safety.
This led to his mischievous elder daughter, Moira, secretly getting hold of the pistol. Curious, she pointed the pistol at her younger sister Polly and pulled the trigger. The unsafetied pistol misfired.
It shot and injured her younger sister, Polly. Although Polly did not die, she was only injured, but this still filled Moira with fear and psychological trauma.
As a father and guardian, Barry, concerned for Polly's safety, severely reprimanded Moira.
Her father's severe reprimand, coupled with his mistake of not engaging the pistol's safety in time, caused Moira to gradually resent her father, Barry.
Later, Barry became busy with work and never apologized to Moira or acknowledged his mistake.
Entering her rebellious phase, Moira's relationship with her father gradually drifted apart. Not only did they frequently argue, but Moira also spoke profanity like a delinquent, all to rebel against her father, Barry.
And upon reaching adulthood, Moira began to make her own decisions.
Even though her father, Barry, opposed Moira joining TerraSave, Moira still went her own way.
And so, an accident occurred at this gathering!
Next to Claire was a TerraSave member named Neil. Handsome and steady, the increasingly mature Claire had a good impression of Neil.
But Claire was unaware of the Redfield family's curse: her brother Chris specifically jinxed his teammates, while she, as his sister, Claire, was very bad for boyfriends. Any character showing signs of becoming Claire's boyfriend was likely to encounter various accidents and kick the bucket.
Typical examples were Steve and the Neil in front of her.
In the original world line, if Javier hadn't appeared, Steve might have already kicked the bucket, turning into a monster infected with the T-Veronica Virus.
Now that Steve had joined BSAA as a grunt, Claire, all alone, felt quite lonely.
Naturally, she had thoughts of getting a boyfriend, and Neil, this TerraSave member in front of her, was a very good candidate.
Steve: "...Is it that the new replaces the old? I secretly liked you back then!"
However, Claire did not know that Neil was actually a spy, collaborating with Alex Wesker, who was far away on Zabytiy Island in the former Soviet Union.
He specifically gathered TerraSave members for capture, and then Neil, who went to the Island, also kicked the bucket, becoming a virus-infected monster. Another potential boyfriend died.
Claire could be said to be very tragic.
She probably had three potential partners before and after, but all were eliminated by her Redfield passive ability. What...? Three? Which three?!
These were naturally Leon, Steve, and this Neil. In the original world line, Steve and Neil both kicked the bucket, and only the male protagonist Leon survived.
In the Raccoon City scenario, Claire and Leon cooperated seamlessly.
Despite Ada Wong's interference, their relationship remained good, with frequent interactions.
There were even CP fans speculating about Leon and Claire, but childhood sweethearts couldn't beat sudden arrivals. Although Claire was a sudden arrival, she couldn't beat a newer sudden arrival.
After Leon was recruited by the US Government to become an agent, Claire mistakenly believed that Leon had been bribed and bought off by high-ranking politicians in the US Government, and therefore was unwilling to expose the Umbrella Corporation's evil deeds.
And so, she parted ways with Leon. This misunderstanding was only resolved much later, but the long period of no contact completely extinguished the light of this rising CP.
At this moment, Javier finally understood Leon's brilliant choice.
No wonder he chose to reject Claire back then; it turned out he was afraid of becoming a couple CP.
After all, once he became Claire's CP, his position as one of the two major male protagonists of Resident Evil would probably be gone.
It's estimated that Leon S. Kennedy would become an unknown minor character. It's precisely because he didn't become Claire's CP that Leon S. Kennedy's career developed so grandly...
Cough cough, all of the above are mere fantasies.
Now it seems that the only person who can withstand Claire's Redfield passive ability to jinx boyfriends is Leon, after all, Leon has enough screen time now and will not kick the bucket at all.
Therefore, Javier really wanted to advise Claire, stop looking for those rotten dates outside. Unless Capcom is willing to create a new male protagonist, otherwise no one can handle your Redfield passive ability!
What... Besides Chris and Leon, there's also Ethan? No... buddy, he already has a cute daughter Rose, how could he form a CP? So it's better to go back and chase Leon, there's still a chance that way.
Cough cough... Back to the topic—
After Neil gathered the TerraSave members, Alex Wesker's helicopter unit arrived and attacked them.
Then they captured and took away all the members. Afterward, Claire and Moira were taken to an isolated Island, which was Zabytiy Island...
And here we must talk about Alex Wesker again.
Spencer, in his early days, in order to create superior humans as assistants, implemented a plan called "Wesker," injecting the progenitor virus into thirteen high-IQ infant candidates.
In the end, only two survived: one was Albert Wesker, and the other was Alex Wesker, a beautiful blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman.
However, after being injected with the progenitor virus, she did not become a superhuman like Wesker. On the contrary, the progenitor virus greatly weakened her health. Therefore, Alex Wesker, like Spencer, feared death and longed for immortality.
As early as 1998, after Wesker defected to Tricell during the Mansion incident, Alex also developed a betrayal mentality towards the Umbrella Corporation.
Therefore, in 2000, she led a research team to Zabytiy Island in the former Soviet Union. Alex planned to establish her base there, so she could betray Spencer, that old fossil, at any time in the future.
And after hearing about the destruction of the Raccoon City G Virus Research Institute and the death of the biological expert William, Spencer had no one left to use, coupled with his increasing age and external public pressure.
This led Spencer to become increasingly impatient to complete his immortality plan, so he handed over all his remaining resources to Alex, his last female researcher, demanding that she must research a virus that could grant immortality.
However, Alex did not obey Spencer's orders at all. Instead, she saw it as an opportunity. After extracting Spencer's last resources, Alex decisively led her people to betray and escape Spencer, establishing herself on Zabytiy Island in the former Soviet Union, which she had prepared in advance.
The Island was barren and sparsely populated.
So Alex, just like Raymond, the lord of the Spanish castle, used the lie of hiring miners to recruit a large number of experimental subjects on the Island.
Initially, people thought Alex was a female angel sent by God to save them, but they didn't know they were just someone else's experimental guinea pigs.
Inspired by a novel called "The Metamorphosis" written by Austrian author Franz Kafka, Alex received great enlightenment.
The content of the book is about the protagonist, Gregor Samsa, a traveling company salesman, who works hard and tirelessly, giving his meager salary to his family to sustain their lives.
He was the respected eldest son of the family, a good child in his parents' eyes, and a good brother in his sister's eyes. But one day, he suddenly turned into a beetle.
After losing his ability to work and no longer being able to bring economic income to his family, his parents became cold and indifferent, and his sister also detested him. The huge contrast and the sadness of being abandoned by his family led Gregor, as a beetle, to distance himself from society, dying alone in a street corner, lonely, hungry, and forgotten...
The story's content is simple, but what inspired Alex was not the family's contrast or the absurd weirdness of society, but the process of the protagonist Gregor transforming into a beetle.
Alex had a bold hypothesis: since a person can turn into a beetle, can a person also turn into another person?
Alex was not sure whether there was such a thing as a soul in the world, but Alex was sure that people definitely had memories.
And memories can be made into data.
If one person's data were transmitted into another person's data brain, would her memory body then be able to occupy another person's body?
Tsk tsk tsk... What a cyberpunk, what a V and Johnny Silverhand. It seems Alex, you are the smartest one, you thought of memory immortality so quickly.
And to realize this hypothesis, Alex invented the T-Phobos Virus.
This is a magical virus; its infectivity to the host is minimized to the extreme.
When first infected, no changes will occur at all.
It's similar to a latent virus, and the condition for its outbreak is when the host's emotions and mental state undergo huge fluctuations and instability, it will erupt, thus infecting and turning into a terrifying monster.
At the same time, this also means that as long as you are not afraid or terrified, and have no huge emotional fluctuations towards anything, then this virus is equivalent to useless, and may even remain latent permanently.
And the purpose of Alex creating the T-Phobos Virus was to screen experimental targets, because she planned to copy her memories and transmit them into another person's brain.
For one body, the brain needs to be able to withstand two personalities, so mental strength undoubtedly needs to be very strong. And the T-Phobos Virus is the standard for screening whether a person's mental strength is strong.
All the people on Zabytiy Island were zombies who transformed after being scared and terrified. Ordinary people would feel fear and terror upon seeing them, and if they couldn't endure it, they would be assimilated and infected.
And the target Alex needed to find was the experimental subject who would never feel fear in a pile of monsters. Everyone on the Island had been injected with the T-Phobos Virus and was kept in captivity.
They wore a wristband that tested psychological emotional fluctuations: green for calm, orange for tension, and red for fear.
Those who consistently showed green, or showed red but did not turn into zombies, were the mentally strong experimental subjects Alex would choose.
At the same time, the main reason Alex captured TerraSave personnel was also because these volunteers had seen the horror of zombies and had some psychological preparation, so their mental strength would also be very strong.
So the TerraSave members suffered. As for why she didn't look for people from the BSAA?
Uh... Is there a possibility that it's called inviting trouble? And Alex's subordinates might not be able to defeat them.
After all, TerraSave is just a logistics department and cannot compare to a professional anti-bioterrorism organization like BSAA, which is on the front lines of combat...
After developing the T-Phobos Virus, Alex began her experiments.
The indigenous people on Zabytiy Island in the former Soviet Union were almost completely used up by her.
But she still hadn't found a suitable candidate, so out of helplessness, Alex turned her attention to the TerraSave personnel, intending to gamble everything!
Using a deal, she collaborated with Neil, a TerraSave member, to package all the TerraSave members at the gathering and send them to Zabytiy Island in the former Soviet Union.
And when Claire and Moira woke up, they found themselves kidnapped to an uninhabited Island.
But strangely, although the surroundings were cells, there were no guards.
Even approaching the prison door would cause it to open automatically, as if no one was stopping them from escaping.
This made Claire realize that someone was monitoring them, and at the same time, she and Moira had an unremovable wristband on their wrists.
At this moment, the color on the wristband was orange, indicating that both of their emotions were tense...
Although they knew someone was monitoring them, Claire and Moira still chose to go out and explore the surroundings.
It wasn't a problem not to explore, but once they did, they discovered a large number of terrifying zombie monsters outside.
With great effort, Claire and Moira managed to deal with the zombie monsters that tried to attack them.
And then—
On a corpse in the prison, Claire found a pistol as a weapon, while Moira, due to her childhood trauma, was very averse to firearms.
She preferred to use a crowbar, the 'Holy Sword of Physics,' rather than a gun, because she was afraid of repeating the past, of misfiring a gun and hurting Claire, just as she had hurt her younger sister Polly when she was little.
And then, during their continuous exploration, Claire and Moira found a signal tower.
They tried to climb the signal tower and call for help, but unfortunately, there was no signal, and no one responded.
Moreover, as they gazed from the high vantage point, they realized they had been kidnapped to an isolated Island, which made both Claire and Moira very desperate.
But fortunately, every cloud has a silver lining.
Through continuous exploration, Claire and Moira successively found other TerraSave members, including Neil, who had deceived them and was a double agent.
