"Have you been in there?" Enrico frowned.
"No, we were just about to go in when we heard you calling for a rally," Foster shook his head, his eyes gleaming with a desire to achieve great things.
"Alright then, Eddie, Rebecca, and Instructor Svetlana, the three of you continue to hunt down Billy. Foster, the three of you go investigate near the Mansion. I will lead the others to check on the Zodiac Express's situation." Enrico laid out a plan to split up, not knowing if anyone would die this way.
After the plan was set, the three groups separated again. Eddie continued to lead the two beauties down the road. He knew very well how dangerous this place was. Not only were there mutated monsters from infected serum, but there was also the unkillable Marcus!
"Eddie, that fugitive Billy is truly vicious, he actually killed twenty-three civilians!" Rebecca had a somewhat disgusted expression.
"I won't comment on that. Some things aren't as simple as they seem. But I do like that you won't be exposed to those things," Eddie smiled. Billy was framed, and that guy also had a strong sense of justice. He was a good choice for employment.
"Why do you always say such strange things?" Rebecca felt her intelligence couldn't quite keep up.
"You, you should stick to studying medicine. It's better not to get involved with such complicated things," Eddie smiled, took out a vitamin tablet, and handed it over. "Want some? It'll boost your nutrition and refresh your mind."
Rebecca and Svetlana both took the vitamin tablets. Was this man here for a mission or for fun?
The three walked for a distance and soon saw a railway track, the track of the Zodiac Express. In the distance, the train could be seen quietly stopped on the tracks, still quite far away, but its headlights were still on.
"Eddie, look, isn't that the train we're looking for? Oh my, it looks a bit far," Rebecca exclaimed.
Eddie suddenly pulled Rebecca back, and a Hunter abruptly appeared where Rebecca had been standing. However, its dazed look suggested it was just an escaped test subject, perhaps from the Mansion.
Eddie kicked the Hunter away, and just as he took out his submachine gun, Svetlana, who was nearby, rushed over quickly, raised her tactical boot, and stomped down hard, directly crushing the Hunter's solid head!
This strength far exceeded what a woman should possess! Truly worthy of being a special forces instructor, her style was incredibly sharp!
Chapter 85: Rebecca's Transformation
Rebecca had forgotten about being saved again, her eyes staring blankly at Svetlana. This woman was just too fierce! Her eyes were wide and innocent, giving her the feeling of a girl next door.
Eddie patted Rebecca's shoulder, "Don't be dumbfounded. Svetlana is a professional combatant. Your talents are different from hers, so there's nothing to be surprised about. We'll have plenty of time to work together in the future, so just don't be surprised."
Rebecca finally reacted, letting out a soft hmph, "I never agreed to join the team!" She was still a bit bothered by that fifteen-year agreement; this was sacrificing the best years of her life to help the other party!
"I said I'd take responsibility, so don't be discouraged," Eddie chuckled heartily.
"What! It's 'don't worry,' not 'don't be discouraged.' You make it sound like I really want to join!" Rebecca pouted.
"Hey, you two, don't just chat there. The situation here is very dangerous. Do you want to die?" Svetlana's style was very tough, giving Eddie no quarter, even though he was her employer and good friend.
"Alright, let's go. Rebecca, you need to be careful not to get hurt. These monsters have a strong contagiousness, and those bacteria could easily cause infection, which is hard to eradicate," Eddie reminded her.
"I know. Aren't you still here?" Rebecca took out her pistol and began to be vigilant. She unconsciously spoke her true feelings, a man she could rely on.
The three walked slowly forward, while long before them, Enrico, along with the pilot Dury and Richard, had already arrived at the Zodiac Express. They were there to investigate and rescue survivors.
After checking for survivors and finding none, and confirming that all passengers were dead, Enrico didn't linger. He immediately led the other two to the Mansion to assist Edward's trio in their investigation. This time, they had to find the culprit behind it all and bring them to justice!
The pilot Dury suggested, "Captain, shouldn't we go back and dismantle the machine gun from the helicopter? That thing has a lot of power and might help us."
Enrico thought for a moment and then said, "Good, then let's go back first and get all the firepower. I also think it's very dangerous here, just as Eddie said, this is a trap."
And when Eddie brought the two women to the train, it was exactly when Enrico and his group were leaving. At this time, the passengers on the train had just begun to undergo infection and mutation, which was also a bit of a coincidence in timing.
Looking at the train in front of him, Eddie frowned, "Be careful. I can sense some strange things on these trains, just like the monsters we encountered."
This made Rebecca a little nervous. She was only eighteen, experiencing such a terrifying biochemical event again. If she weren't optimistic and cheerful, she probably would have gone crazy long ago.
On top of the mountain, Marcus watched with amusement as the three entered the train below. He felt that one of them seemed a bit familiar. "Hmm, who is that guy? He seems a bit familiar. It's really giving me a headache. Who could it be?"
Just as Eddie had initially revealed to Alex Wesker, his memory showed him as a collateral disciple of the Marcus family. Basically, due to Spencer's machinations, most of Marcus's clan had died.
Eddie was alive purely because Spencer wanted to use him to restrain Marcus, and also to put on a show for the board of directors, so people wouldn't think he left no one alive, which would be detrimental to his control of power.
His identity was correct, which is why the Leech Queen, who inherited Marcus's memories, felt puzzled. She didn't know what kind of creature he was—a human or a leech? In any case, it was very strange and indeterminable.
Wolf Mother led the remaining Delta Team to infiltrate the Mansion to install the device made by Suzuki Yoko, which was used to copy computer data. At the same time, they were also searching for some usable materials, which they could take back with them to assemble their supercomputer.
Walking slowly forward, Svetlana also felt that something was wrong. The feeling in this train car was so dead silent, as if everyone here was dead.
A passenger in casual clothes was still sitting in his seat, looking relatively intact.
Rebecca, holding her pistol, walked over, "Hello, sir, we are members of the S.T.A.R.S.. We're here to rescue you. I'm Rebecca, a member. Are you alright?"
Cautious Rebecca walked over and patted the passenger's shoulder. The next second, the passenger's head suddenly fell off, a situation that seemed extremely bizarre!
"Ah!" Rebecca was startled, and in front of her, several zombies swayed and stood up. These were all zombies that had been bitten to death by leeches and then infected by the serum, mutating.
"Be careful! Don't get distracted, concentrate, shoot them in the head, otherwise they can't be killed!" Eddie said, then switched his submachine gun to single-shot mode. This mode could save bullets. Zombies were endless, so every bullet saved counted.
Rebecca nodded gratefully, her beautiful eyes narrowed, adopting a tactical aiming stance. She pulled the trigger, and a bullet flew from her pistol, accurately hitting the head of a swaying zombie walking towards them.
"Yay! I hit it!" Rebecca cheered instantly.
The next second, Eddie directly pulled Rebecca away as a zombie suddenly attacked from its seat. Eddie, who had been paying attention, sent a flying kick, sending its head flying.
"Be careful. There's nothing to celebrate. In this environment, you need to think calmly and observe everything. If you get bitten, you're done for!" Eddie said coldly.
Rebecca nodded. Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching him how to fish. She was very grateful for Eddie's guidance and realized that if she continued like this, she might become a burden. The strong-willed Rebecca didn't want to be a burden!
Svetlana was very fierce, constantly using grappling techniques, roundhouse kicks, whip kicks, flying kicks, and neck breaks, rarely using her submachine gun. Her fierce fighting style was fully displayed. Women were not to be trifled with, especially women with such rich grappling skills.
There weren't many zombies in one car, only a dozen or so, and they were quickly eliminated.
"Don't shoot these zombies anywhere else; you must shoot them in the head. The head is their weak point. Shooting other places might lead to further mutation. Although the probability is small, it can happen," Eddie added. He hated the secondary mutated Raging Zombies the most.
Chapter 86: Lieutenant Billy
No sooner had he finished speaking than a zombie began to convulse. The serum gathered the body's energy and reorganized the injured areas. Its skin turned reddish-brown, its fingers began to become claws, and its hair started to fall out.
It swayed and stood up. Although it was still ten meters away from Eddie, it ran faster than a normal zombie, directly pouncing.
Svetlana didn't speak to warn him, but her beautiful eyes blinked, a hint to the man. She knew the man wanted to show off, to make an impression in front of the women. The mature Svetlana chose not to interrupt the man's show, but rather cooperated. Giving the man face was better than interrupting his show and making him awkward.
Rebecca had just shouted, "Eddie, be careful!"
Eddie immediately turned, quickly dodged the Raging Zombie's attack from behind, then put his left hand on the zombie's head and his right hand on its chin, twisting hard and wrenching the zombie's head off. Guillotine!
"It's that simple. As long as you twist their necks, they're basically dead. Monsters aren't scary. As long as we're not afraid of them, they don't have much lethality," Eddie smiled.
It was precisely because of the appearance of Raging Zombies that Raccoon City's resistance forces were completely wiped out. After all, if you don't hit the head and hit other parts, these zombies have a chance of secondary revival and becoming even more aggressive. Inexperienced people could easily fall victim, resulting in being killed and becoming one of the zombies.
Rebecca was still a bit stunned, clearly not having reacted. This situation was too terrifying, far beyond her acceptance.
