Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

At this moment, Ada Wong finally showed a surprised expression. She glanced at Shen Ye, somewhat astonished by his marksmanship, since the Licker had nimbly dodged her shots several times before.

Of course, she was in a panic at the time and didn't aim deliberately, which doesn't mean her marksmanship was bad.

However, Ada Wong also breathed a sigh of relief. The man's performance could at least help her get through the current predicament, even though her previous thought was to abandon Shen Ye and leave while he fired his gun to attract the monsters.

Shen Ye was naturally unaware of Ada Wong's thoughts. In just a few seconds, he emptied a magazine. He glanced at Ada Wong, who was standing there in a daze, and shouted in dissatisfaction, "Change the magazine."

Ada Wong understood Shen Ye's tone; he was reminding her to maintain firepower while he changed magazines. She glanced at Shen Ye again before firing.

However, her weapon was a Browning pistol, which was naturally not as powerful as Shen Ye's rifle. Even though she hit the target with each shot, she gained nothing.

Shen Ye had already changed the magazine. Seeing that Ada Wong hadn't gotten anything after several shots, he said, "I have weapons in the bag I'm carrying."

Ada Wong didn't stand on ceremony and opened Shen Ye's gun holster, picking out a rifle and several magazines.

But before she could fire, she heard Shen Ye shout, "They're getting closer, we need to create some distance."

After shouting those words, Shen Ye didn't move. He continued firing his gun from the spot, waiting for Ada Wong to leave first.

Of course, this wasn't about taking care of her; it was still about reminding her.

Ada Wong understood his meaning as expected. After taking a few steps back, she fired a shot from behind Shen Ye.

Hearing Ada Wong's gunshot, Shen Ye finally moved, running a short distance behind her before stopping and firing again.

This tactic of alternating cover fire usually requires extensive training to master, but both men were highly trained professionals, the elite of the elite. Despite it being their first meeting, they displayed a greater level of coordination than many seasoned professional soldiers.

This surprised Ada Wong even more, and at the same time aroused her intense curiosity about Shen Ye's identity.

But Ada Wong was a reserved woman, and instead of asking directly, she chose to change the subject.

As Ada Wong passed by Shen Ye again, she suddenly asked, "You seem to trust me a lot. Aren't you afraid I'll stab you in the back?"

"Not afraid."

"why?"

Shen Ye fired several shots at the last Licker, and seeing that it fell and never got up again, he turned to Ada Wong and said, "My sixth sense tells me that you're not that kind of person."

“But this is the first time we’ve met.” Ada Wong paused for a moment. “And I thought only women believed in some kind of sixth sense.”

Shen Ye took the magazine off the rifle, glanced at it, and found that there were still quite a few bullets left. He then reloaded it and said, "Normally I don't believe in so-called sixth sense, but today is different."

"What's different?" Ada Wong's curiosity was piqued.

Shen Ye didn't answer. He glanced at the messy store and silently took out a cigarette and started smoking.

Ada Wong glared at him with displeasure. She hated people who only said half of what they meant, and although she often did the same, she hated it even more when others treated her that way.

Fortunately, she was a woman trained as a secret agent, with meticulous control over her emotions. She quickly calmed down and put on a smiling face.

"Do you need me to buy you coffee?" she asked with a perfectly professional smile.

Shen Ye pointed at the store with the finger holding the cigarette and said, "If you can find a whole cup in there, I'd love to."

"It's a pity we went a little too far in damaging it. It seems we'll have to do it next time," Ada Wong said with a regretful expression.

Shen Ye waved his hand dismissively. In fact, he wasn't a big fan of coffee; he had only said that to tease Ada Wong.

Shen Ye threw his half-smoked cigarette on the ground and asked Ada Wong, "Want to come along from here on out?"

Faced with this question, Ada Wong remained silent for a while, seemingly pondering something. After a long pause, she asked in return, "Where are you planning to go?"

"I have a friend at the Raccoon City Police Department." Although he had run into Ada Wong, Shen Ye still wanted to go find Jill first.

Of course, this suited Ada Wong's wishes perfectly, as she was looking forward to going there.

Although Shen Ye mentioned the area near the police station, it just so happened to be on the way.

However, she did not agree immediately, but suggested that they go to a place first so that she could pick up something.

Shen Ye thought about it for a moment and then agreed. Anyway, Jill shouldn't have arrived yet at this time. If he went too early, he would only be greeted by zombies. Don't forget that the police station has been overrun by zombies, and there are far more zombies than living people there.

After resting for a while, the two left the store. They hadn't gone far when Ada Wong suddenly turned around and said, "I don't think I know what to call you yet."

Shen Ye didn't directly state his name, but instead asked, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone else's name?"

Ada Wong looked at Shen Ye in surprise, then scrutinized him again. After confirming that the man in front of her was indeed far from being a gentleman, she said, "Ada Wong, that's my name."

Chapter 20! Impressions

Ida's destination wasn't far; it was just on this street. They arrived shortly after walking to a two-bedroom apartment.

Just like in the original story, she arrived in Raccoon City very early, and Shen Ye even saw a change of clothes on the balcony.

"Would you like to sit down? Or shall I show you around?" Seeing Shen Ye looking around the room with great interest, Ada politely extended an invitation.

"No, I'm just looking around." Shen Ye waved his hand in refusal, then saw Ada pull a large box out from under the bed in the bedroom.

Shen Ye took a closer look and saw that the box contained a small backpack and a waist bag, as well as a lot of weapons, ammunition, and communication equipment, including a small radio.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be surprised upon seeing this, or even ask questions, but Shen Ye didn't, thus wasting the lie that Ada had spent some time making up.

After putting on the backpack and waist pack, Ada tossed Shen Ye a small walkie-talkie with an earpiece attached.

“Channel One,” Ada said, pointing to the walkie-talkie.

Shen Ye nodded, adjusted the communication channel, and then turned the phone on to test it. He found that the sending and receiving functions were working perfectly.

Ida was very satisfied with his professional performance, and her opinion of him improved even more.

“He’s definitely not just some ordinary soldier who’s received military training; he must be a professional soldier, at least he used to be,” Ada thought.

Tactical skills can be mastered and developed through daily training, but some details require a great deal of experience to demonstrate.

Clearly, Shen Ye is that kind of person.

Of course, if it were Shen Ye who had just arrived two months ago, he certainly wouldn't have been so meticulous. But after experiencing the incident at the mansion, he spent a lot of time on recovery training. Although he can't compare to before, he's not far off.

After putting away the communicator, Shen Ye watched as Ada packed her things. He turned on the radio in the room and leaned against it to listen, but the radio kept playing the mayor's speech from a few days ago. He turned off the radio impatiently and silently watched Ada.

It took Ada more than ten minutes to tidy everything up. When she saw Shen Ye staring at her in a daze, she thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you don't want something to drink? Although there's no coffee, I can boil some water. I know you guys have that habit."

Shen Ye shook his head.

So Ida stopped insisting and turned to leave the room.

……

On the street, the two walked toward the Raccoon City Police Department.

Shen Ye originally planned to get a car, but they were really unlucky. They found more than a dozen cars, but none of them were usable.

Although they eventually found a working classic American pickup truck in front of a store, they got in and drove a short distance before giving up due to traffic congestion.

With no other option, they had to continue walking.

Although Raccoon City is a small city with a population of just over 100,000, it is quite large in area. Coupled with the occasional harassment from infected individuals such as zombies, their walking speed is very slow.

They walked until noon, and had only made it to a small part of the city, not even reaching the edge of the upper city.

Shen Ye had good reason to suspect that they wouldn't be able to reach the Raccoon City Police Department before dark.

"Should we continue?" Ada asked Shen Ye in an ordinary little jewelry shop.

Looking at the gloomy sky outside, Shen Ye sighed, "It's going to rain. Let's rest for a while, eat something, and replenish our energy."

Ada nodded. Shen Ye's answer was exactly what she expected, and she didn't want to travel in the rain.

Besides feeling uncomfortable when her clothes get wet, another negative effect of getting wet is that it causes heat loss and accelerates physical exertion.

Ada took some food out of her bag and tossed a can of beef to Shen Ye.

Shen Ye glanced at it and threw it back, saying, "Get something fresh."

Ada held up the bag of spaghetti in her hand and asked in confusion, "Then how about this?"

Shen Ye nodded. He had been eating canned food every day for the past few days and was tired of it, so he wanted to try something different.

“I thought you men preferred to eat meat.” Ada shook her head in confusion and tossed the bag of spaghetti over.

Shen Ye opened the bag and glanced at it. It didn't look very appealing, but after taking a bite, he thought it was alright and said with satisfaction, "If you eat canned beef and bread for more than ten days in a row, you will definitely end up like me."

"Then why don't you cook it yourself, or buy some ingredients?" Ada asked, puzzled. "I remember that men in Country Z all know how to cook."

“That’s a stereotype,” Shen Ye said with dissatisfaction, even though he could actually do it.

Ada suddenly laughed: "A weak excuse. You're probably just too lazy to make it. That's a common problem for single men."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and resumed eating heartily without making a sound.

Seeing him like this, a smile flashed in Ada's eyes, and she quietly began to eat the canned food. However, she ate very politely, unlike Shen Ye, who swallowed the pasta in the bag in just a few bites.

After finishing his portion of food, Shen Ye felt a little regretful. Although he didn't think his previous behavior had left a good impression on Ada, he was sure that Ada would think he hadn't eaten anything good.

Of course, more importantly, the portion of pasta was rather small, and he wasn't full.

"Want some more?" Ada held up the half-eaten can of food.

"Uh...no need." Although it was a perk, Shen Ye was too embarrassed to accept.

However, Ida still gave him the leftover canned food.

"Don't be shy... I'm already full," she said.
