Besides Enrique and his helicopter pilot Brad, Gil and the others were all here. Although they were all injured to varying degrees, their injuries were not as serious as Shen Ye's and Enrique's. So after taking Enrique to the hospital, they brought him here.

They were arguing about something, but Shen Ye, who had just woken up, didn't hear clearly. Just as he was about to listen carefully, Rebecca noticed that he was awake and immediately coughed lightly.

Jill and Chris stopped arguing without warning, then looked at him with different expressions.

Seeing their expressions, Shen Ye guessed that they probably knew what he had done and that they were just discussing how to deal with him.

Sure enough, Jill frowned and said, "Shen Ye, you were the one who robbed Robert's gun shop, weren't you?"

Shen Ye didn't deny it and nodded honestly: "It's me!"

"Don't you know this is illegal?" Jill continued to frown.

"Of course I know," Shen Ye nodded again.

"Then why did you still rob it?" Jill raised her voice: "That's illegal."

"Because I need weapons," Shen Ye said, raising his voice.

"You can buy it!"

"But I have no money."

"..."

Jill was speechless. She rubbed her temples hard and said with a troubled expression, "Perfect logic, Shen. You should become a lawyer because you can always find a suitable reason."

Shen Ye smiled sheepishly, taking it as a compliment from Jill, and then asked seriously, "So, have you reached a decision? Should we hand me over to the police or hide me?"

“We were planning to hand you over, but Jill disagreed because you saved her,” Chris interjected. “And you were lucky; Robert didn’t remember what you looked like, and the security cameras in the gun shop were broken. We… have no evidence to arrest you.”

Shen Ye was not surprised at all; this was something he had expected.

What surprised him was Jill's attitude. He knew that Jill came from a bad background, so after becoming a policeman, he was determined to be a good policeman, but now he chose to protect him, a robber.

"Thank you, Jill!" Shen Ye didn't know what to say, and after holding it in for a long time, he could only say thank you.

“No need, after all, you’ve saved me more than once.” Jill shook her head, then added, “I have to repay your favors, don’t I?”

Shen Ye smiled and nodded: "Then you'll have a lot to pay back."

"Actually, there aren't many favors to repay."

At this point, Barry, who had been silent all along, also spoke up. Ignoring the wink Jill gave him, he said, "After Jill guessed that you were the one who robbed Robert's gun shop, she asked me to send Robert a large sum of money to compensate for his losses. You know, our wages aren't high, and Jill almost spent all her savings on you."

"So, does that mean I owe Jill a favor?" Shen Ye asked.

"What do you think?" Chris suddenly chuckled, patted Shen Ye on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear in a knowing tone, "Jill is a good girl."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye was stunned for a moment. Before he could understand what was being said, Chris and Jill had already left the ward, leaving him alone.

"Hiss...judging from Chris's tone, it sounds like there's something going on between Jill and me..."

After a long pause, Shen Ye figured out what Chris meant, then pursed his lips: "How can feelings develop after just one night together? That's too absurd..."

However, this matter did not trouble him for long, and soon his attention turned to the system space.

Before he fell into a deep sleep, he remembered that the system had given him a reward for completing the mansion incident.

Shen Ye rubbed his hands together, excitedly opened the system space, and then a reward interface popped up on the semi-transparent light screen, clearly recording the rewards he had obtained.

……

[Host has completed the main quest, the Mansion Incident, with an excellent rating. The rewards are as follows]

[Reward 1: A comprehensive boost to the host's physical attributes]

[Reward Two: The host will be rewarded with a special card: a Gene Lock Experience Card]

(A special item from the Main God Space. It allows the host to temporarily experience unlocking a first-tier gene lock for five minutes. After the effect ends, there are no side effects.)

[Reward 3: Increase the favorability of the remaining STARS members towards the host]

[Note: Card pack activated; the host can check it themselves.]

……

Hospitalization is expensive no matter where you are, especially in the United States.

Moreover, Shen Ye didn't have national health insurance and was staying at a private clinic. In just over half a month, Jill and the others emptied their savings to pay for his medical treatment.

Fortunately, Shen Ye's physical condition improved significantly, and his recovery ability increased exponentially. In just over half a month, his injuries had healed to almost full strength, so he moved out of the private clinic and into the cheap rental house that Jill had prepared for him.

Shen Ye had no complaints about this, as he knew that Jill and the others were not doing well.

They had already been suspended from their duties.

As for the reason for their suspension, just like in the story, due to the inaction and deliberate concealment by Raccoon City Police Chief Elon, in order to quell the anger of the citizens, coupled with pressure from Umbrella, they were forced to take the blame.

So, the angry group resigned and prepared to investigate the truth behind it all on their own.

However, the process was not ideal because Umbrella interfered with their investigation.

Left with no other choice, Jill and the others began to split up, not even having time to pay attention to Shen Ye.

Of course, in order to enable Shen Ye to protect himself, Jill and the others gave Shen Ye a pistol and several magazines before leaving.

Shen Ye is currently maintaining the pistol that Jill gave him in the rented room:

A Beretta 92F, with the STARS logo engraved on the gun, this is Jill's sidearm.

Shen Ye quickly finished maintaining the pistol. He swiftly assembled the gun, installed the fully loaded magazine, pulled the holster to chamber a round, then disengaged the safety, inserted the pistol back into the holster, and prepared to leave.

In fact, carrying a loaded handgun out is a very dangerous thing, because doing so is very likely to result in an accidental discharge, which could injure someone else or yourself.

But he had no choice; he had to do it for his safety.

He wasn't worried about encountering zombies, because the virus hadn't completely spread to the city yet; he was worried about the people of Ambrare.

Yes, like Jill and the others, he was also being watched by the Ambrare Company, but since they hadn't made any moves, he was relatively safe for the time being.

"Hey!"

With a slight sigh, Shen Ye put on his baseball cap and left the rented room.

on the street.

Shen Ye kept his head down and walked close to the corner of the wall.

Staying indoors for so long made him extremely enjoy the fresh air outside.

Of course, he would probably be in a better mood if it weren't for the free-spirited scene by the roadside.

Although the virus has not yet spread completely to the city, many infected organisms have appeared in the city.

Because the waste disposal plant at the Raccoon City underground research facility had been operating beyond capacity for a long time, many uncollected corpses were carelessly dumped, and then they turned into zombies, appearing in various corners of the city through the sewers.

Their appearance made the already panicked citizens of Raccoon City even more frightened, and the city's operations were temporarily paralyzed.

The limited police force of the Raccoon City Police Department was deployed to clear out infected people from the city, causing crime to spread and violence to occur everywhere.

Raccoon City is gradually tilting towards hell.

……

……

Chapter 16! The Eve

Shen Ye didn't wander around for long, because he went out today for one thing.

Go to Robert Kendo's gun shop to pick up your weapons.

Barry was originally the one who ordered those guns, since he and Robert were good friends, but he had already gone to Europe with Chris, so he could only notify Jill to pick them up.

Jill was busy, so she notified Shen Ye via radio, and he made time to go.

Knowing the way well, he quickly arrived at the entrance of Robert's gun shop, where he saw the shop owner, Robert, loading his luggage into his car.

"Robert, have you finally figured it out and are you leaving?" Shen Ye shouted.

"What else? Stay here and get eaten by monsters?" Robert turned around, saw that it was Shen Ye, stopped what he was doing, and then took out a cigarette and threw it to him.

He lit a cigarette and continued, "What happened last time terrified Emma. I don't want my daughter to stay in this awful place anymore."

In fact, Robert didn't want to leave at first, and even though Shen Ye came to persuade him several times, he wouldn't listen.

“I won’t listen to a robber.” He would say this every time Shen Ye came over.

But something happened a few days ago that changed his mind.

An infected person unexpectedly broke into his shop and bit a customer who came to buy a gun to death right in front of him.

Although this scene didn't frighten him, it terrified his daughter... Emma.

The poor little girl had nightmares for several days in a row, and it was only then that Robert, who loved his daughter deeply, made up his mind to leave.

"A wise choice. You should have left here a long time ago," Shen Ye said, exhaling a puff of smoke and nodding.

“But I believed the mayor’s lies before. This is not an ordinary incident of violence,” Robert said indignantly. “They are playing with the lives of citizens. They have deceived us.”

“They’ve always been like this, they’ve never changed.” Shen Ye also took the opportunity to curse, which earned him high praise from Robert.

After chatting for a while, Shen Ye didn't forget the important matter. He threw away his cigarette butt and asked, "Robert, are the things ready?"
