Adding the characteristics of the Plaga parasite, it's very difficult to kill them with just a small handgun. A standard Glock pistol would probably need an entire magazine, about 15 bullets, to kill one Plaga parasite Infected.
It's already late-game… we need more powerful weapons. Javier really didn't want to see Chris and Jill fighting with small handguns anymore.
"…What do you mean?"
"As for special weapons, we don't have any for now, but once we reach our destination, the local BSAA team in West Africa will provide us with some weapons, including assault rifles and grenades, and RPGs if necessary. That should be enough. We're only infiltrating a small town to capture a Black Merchant, there's no need to make such a big fuss."
Hearing this,
Chris, who was standing nearby, slowly frowned.
It wasn't that he was deliberately targeting Javier, but from his own understanding, there shouldn't be a need to carry such outrageous weapons, right?
After all, their original purpose
was to capture Black Market Dealer Ervin, not to slaughter an entire village. A few small handguns should be enough. Was there really a need to carry heavy weapons?
However,
it was clear that upon hearing this,
Javier helplessly shook his head.
Chris was still too young. Despite having cleared so many instances these past few years, he still thought normally when facing Bio-weapons. This was an extremely wrong approach.
No wonder Chris always caused his teammates' deaths.
Sometimes he was too rigid. Leon, at first, also only thought he was infiltrating a small village to rescue the President's daughter Ashley.
So he only brought a small handgun, but what was the result…? A huge mistake! The infiltration instance turned into a village slaughter instance. No matter how hard Leon racked his brain, he couldn't have imagined this outcome.
Therefore,
this instance would also be a village slaughter.
If Chris still intended to infiltrate with a small handgun, he would truly suffer the same losses Leon did. Both male protagonists are of the same mold, too careless.
There was no way to rely on Chris. Fortunately, Javier carried Luis's newly improved Blue Light Ultraviolet Bullet handgun.
A weapon once used by werewolves specifically against Vampires, it could now be used against these Majini monsters. The intense Ultraviolet energy,
was like a concentrated flashbang. Just one shot could instantly kill an ordinary Majini monster, its power far exceeding that of a simple small handgun!
"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. You'll understand what I mean when the time comes."
"Oh, by the way, Chris, Claire should be working as a logistics staff member in the TerraSave organization now, right? You two siblings are entirely devoted to eliminating Bio-weapons."
"Haven't you thought about a fallback plan for yourselves? It's fine for you as the older brother, but Claire isn't young anymore. Haven't you thought about finding a brother-in-law for yourself?"
Temporarily setting aside the weapon discussion,
Javier, sitting in the back seat, suddenly became curious and asked Chris, who was driving the Humvee, this question:
"Brake—!"
The sudden emotional gossip question made Chris pause for a moment, causing the Humvee to brake hard. Realizing what happened, Chris quickly resumed driving, looking at Javier with an incredulous expression.
He had a look of disdain, as if to say, "How did I not know you were this shameless?" Even Jill, beside him, looked at Javier with a surprised gaze.
Could this scoundrel be interested in Chris's sister? Come to think of it, did these two have much interaction? She didn't know!
"Javier, let's keep things separate."
"You know, I never interfere with Claire's romantic life. After all, that girl is stubborn by nature. Whatever she doesn't like, no matter how much I force it, it's useless."
"And if she's really going to find someone, I still hope Claire finds a man of good character and responsibility to protect her, not someone simply glib, irresponsible, or with an unclear background."
His expression became a bit more serious,
The recovered Chris immediately spoke righteously to explain. His words… almost directly named Javier.
Glib, irresponsible, unclear background, unreliable—wasn't that directly pointing to Javier himself?
Anyway, for Chris,
it was fine for Claire to find a brother-in-law; anyone could "harm" his sister, but Javier was absolutely out of the question. Not to mention Javier's character,
just the fact that he could coax two women, Alexia and Lisa, into submission,
from that alone,
Chris knew that Javier was definitely not a good person, a playboy. His beloved sister absolutely could not fall into Javier's hands.
Absolutely not. If Javier dared to touch Claire, then he, as her elder brother, would definitely try his best to strangle Javier!
Hearing Chris's words, which clearly belittled him,
Javier showed a helpless expression. What was all this? How could he be interested in Claire?
Although Claire was indeed very beautiful and sexy,
she was one of the female protagonists in Resident Evil, second only to Ada. But Claire had the "boyfriend killer" debuff. Without a powerful background or strength, any guy who tried to become Claire's boyfriend would die violently.
Secondly, Claire was most likely a wife-controller, and a strict married life was hard for Javier to accept.
Finally, Claire's sunny, athletic goddess style wasn't to Javier's taste; he preferred Ada's type.
Therefore, Javier himself definitely had no thoughts about Claire.
The reason he brought it up now
was because Javier wanted to recommend a promising, handsome young man to Chris. After all, in the current Resident Evil,
only this handsome young man could suppress Claire's "boyfriend killer" debuff. Plus, it felt a bit bad to steal someone's goddess, so Javier, feeling guilty, decided to play matchmaker as compensation.
"Ahem, wait, you misunderstood, Chris."
"I definitely wouldn't harm Claire. How could I bear to harm such a good girl? I'm talking about Leon. Leon is currently a presidential bodyguard and agent for the US Government. His job is stable and legitimate."
"Moreover, as the President's personal bodyguard, he has a bright future. He is righteous, responsible, and conscientious. And Leon and Claire met during the Raccoon City incident; they are still good friends privately."
"He's also one of the few male friends Claire doesn't dislike. Aren't you going to try to set them up? I think Leon and Claire are a great match, aren't they?"
Clearing his throat,
Javier quickly explained. Actually, if Leon didn't like Claire, it was fine too; wasn't there Helena? A mature woman with wavy hair was also good. If not, his partner Hunnigan was also a very good choice, a mixed-race beauty…
Kijuju Autonomous Region—
On the outskirts of the town, several tents were set up, manned by a well-equipped team. These individuals were members of the BSAA, belonging to the BSAA branch base in West Africa.
Before Chris and the others arrived,
they had been stationed on the outskirts of the town for nearly several days, but still hadn't found any trace of Black Market Dealer Ervin.
Furthermore, the situation in this town
was far more complex than they had imagined, as if it had already been taken control of by someone, with eyes everywhere.
Therefore, infiltrating it
was a very troublesome matter, as they might very well be driven out by the townspeople. Outsiders were very unwelcome here!
"Brake—!!!"
At this very moment,
the Humvee driven by Chris arrived. The five people slowly got out of the car. Seeing the support sent by headquarters arrive,
the BSAA members stationed at the camp in West Africa did not neglect them. Josh Stone and Dan DeChant, the captains of two AD teams, slowly walked out to greet them.
One was a local West African black middle-aged man, and the other was a white bald man. This mission was under the responsibility of their two teams.
"…"
"Hello, Mr. Chris Redfield, one of the eleven legendary heroes and founders of the BSAA, and Ms. Jill Valentine,"
"It is an honor to work with you. We have long admired your names, and today we are fortunate to meet you,"
Josh, the black man at the forefront, smiled warmly at Chris and the others, extending his hand and shaking Chris's hand tightly, his expression quite excited.
Although Chris and Jill did not have much authority within the BSAA, and were even at the level of common soldiers,
the names of Chris and Jill, as well as the other eleven founders of the BSAA, were still well-known.
After all, Chris and Jill were the organization's original creators,
so they deserved some respect. Moreover, given Chris and Jill's impressive track record, some new members who later joined the BSAA naturally admired them greatly.
"My name is Sheva Alomar,"
"It's a pleasure to meet you and work with you, Mr. Chris, and Ms. Jill. I am your partner responsible for leading you into the town this time. I am very familiar with the African environment and can serve as an excellent guide. I hope we can get along well,"
At this moment,
the West African black woman, who had been waiting for a long time, slowly walked up and introduced herself to Chris with a slightly excited and thrilled expression.
This was a West African girl with short black hair.
Her short black hair was tied into a neat small ponytail. Her appearance was heroic, and her skin was not overly dark, but rather yellowish, like a healthy, sun-kissed bronze, full of vitality.
She wore white jeans and long boots, with a thin purple and white T-shirt on top. Her figure was full and elastic, of an athletic type.
She wore many strange ornaments and tattoos on her neck and arms, indicating she was likely of indigenous West African tribal origin, hence her belief in these totems.
Sheva Alomar—
Born into a poor family in Mali, Africa, her hometown was near Umbrella Corporation's African branch Factory No. 57. Like other parts of Africa,
ever since the Umbrella Corporation arrived, it brought some development opportunities to the African economy. Eighty percent of young people were employed by the Umbrella Corporation,
helping them complete some simple tasks. At first, Sheva believed the Umbrella Corporation was a god sent from heaven to save them.
Because of the Umbrella Corporation's appearance, the local economy developed, a large number of unemployed people found jobs, and Sheva's family no longer had to live the hungry life they once did.
But soon,
Sheva realized her thoughts were wrong. When she was eight years old, black smoke suddenly billowed from above the factory, and the Umbrella Corporation's virus leaked.
To prevent a large-scale virus infection and news leakage, the Umbrella Corporation massacred all the workers at Factory No. 57, including Sheva's parents. Because of this incident, Sheva also began to resent the Umbrella Corporation.
Sheva, who escaped, met kind anti-government armed militants in the wilderness. The anti-government armed organization took her in.
Sheva, who already harbored resentment towards the Umbrella Corporation and the corrupt government, began to serve the anti-government armed forces. She was killing people on the battlefield at the age of twelve, and at a young age, she embarked on an extraordinary path.
And just when Sheva thought what she was doing was right,
the cruel truth once again told Sheva that everything she was doing was still wrong, because the anti-government armed forces, the corrupt government, and the Umbrella Corporation were all birds of a feather.
The anti-government armed forces would use Bio-weapons to attack the government, and the government would also use Bio-weapons to attack these terrorists. Ultimately, only innocent civilians suffered.
Finally,
with the intervention of a fourth party, specifically the United States' fourth party, Sheva chose to betray the anti-government armed organization,
and chose to cooperate with the external forces.
When the anti-government armed forces and the Umbrella Corporation were conducting Bio-weapon transactions, she tipped off the transaction location. The anti-government armed forces and the Umbrella Corporation personnel were all captured.
Sheva was quickly released for her achievement and given the opportunity to study in the United States. Sheva, who had no nostalgia for the corrupt government and country, quickly went to the United States.
In just a few months, she learned English,
and coupled with Sheva's excellent intelligence gathering abilities, she was recommended to join the BSAA.
And eliminating the Umbrella Corporation and the Bio-weapon was also Sheva's wish, thus creating the Sheva Alomar before our eyes—!
Although the Umbrella Corporation collapsed and went out of business not long after she joined the BSAA, this did not hinder Sheva's determination to eliminate the Bio-weapon.
And the legendary hero Chris, who repeatedly destroyed Umbrella Corporation bases and thwarted Umbrella Corporation conspiracies, naturally became one of Sheva's idols.
She was very grateful to have a hero like Chris help her eliminate the evil Umbrella Corporation and send the demons who killed her parents back to hell…!
"…"
"I'm also very pleased to meet you, Sheva,"
Facing the warm welcome from this West African woman, Chris seemed a little shy. He rubbed his nose and extended his hand to shake Sheva's, expressing his great honor.
Although titles like "legendary hero" were mere formalities,
Chris had to admit that being so admired felt truly proud, giving him a sense of satisfaction that all his efforts had not been in vain!
