Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Chapter 354! Bangkok Trip (Part Two)

……

The loud noise made the train vibrate even more violently, and many windows even cracked due to the vibration.

The tremors also woke up the sleeping passengers in the carriage, and for a moment the entire carriage was filled with screams of fear from the passengers.

The female student named Lin Xue behind Shen Ye was also screaming. She grabbed Shen Ye's clothes out of fear, but Shen Ye ignored her, pulled her hand away, and ran back to his seat.

"Shen, what happened?" Jill asked loudly when she saw Shen Ye coming over, but because the carriage was too noisy, Shen Ye didn't hear her until she asked a second time.

Shen Ye shook his head with a serious expression, and as he took the AK74U that Robert threw to him, he said, "I'm not sure, but judging from the sound, it should have been an explosion, coming from the rear of the carriage."

"Could it be a terrorist attack?" Choi Ji-yun offered his conjecture, then looked at Irina.

At that moment, Irina was holding onto the back of the chair. When she saw her looking over, she immediately glared back.

“I don’t know. Maybe it was an accident. After all, a shipment of goods was loaded onto the truck not long ago. Maybe there were some flammable or explosive items in it. But it’s also possible that it was aimed at Miss Soi. However, I hope it was just an accident.” Dutch walked over. He was carrying his backpack full of weapons, but he was holding a huge revolver in his hand. Shen Ye could see clearly that the inscription on the gun was clearly engraved with M500.

However, he didn't really like this kind of revolver; the barrel was too big, and he couldn't hold it with one hand. So he glanced at it and then looked away. After Dutch finished speaking, he replied, "I also hope it was just an accident."

But before he could finish speaking, another explosion rang out. This time, the explosion was clearly in the direction of the front of the car. Through the light radiating from the side windows, everyone could see a plume of smoke that had been stretched into a straight line due to the car's high speed.

“Well, it seems it wasn’t an accident. I just don’t know if it was a terrorist attack or targeted at Miss Soi,” Dutch sighed.

If the explosion at the rear of the train can be attributed to the possibility that it was carrying flammable or explosive goods, then an explosion at the front of the train could be one of two possibilities.

Glancing at the smoke outside the window, Shen Ye pulled back the bolt of his gun and said, "No matter what they're after, a battle is probably inevitable. Jill, Cui Zhiyun, and Levi, Dutch, you protect Soy. If enemies appear, leave them to us." After he finished speaking, Robert and Fabiola beside him also cocked their guns.

At this moment, Choi Ji-woon pointed at Irina: "And what about her?"

“I’ll go with Shen,” Irina said immediately.

Cui Zhiyun frowned immediately, and just as she was about to say something more, she heard Shen Ye say, "That's fine, let her come with me."

"Alright then." Choi Ji-woon could only agree.

Just as they were taking out their weapons and discussing what to do, the surrounding passengers quieted down. It wasn't that they had recovered from their fear, but rather that they were terrified by the group. They stared at them silently, trembling.

The Chinese tourists were also frightened, especially the female student named Lin Xue. Her face was frighteningly pale, without a trace of color, and she didn't even dare to look Shen Ye in the eye.

Shen Ye and his companions didn't bother explaining to the terrified people. After the conversation ended, they dispersed to find advantageous terrain to prepare for the first possible attack, and then try to get to the front of the train to slow it down so they could leave.

However, at that moment, several people suddenly ran over from the opposite carriage. They were panting heavily, as if they had passed through many carriages. One of them was bleeding from his thigh, which attracted the attention of many passengers who were still confused about the situation.

Shen Ye immediately tried to stop them and ask what had happened, but the men seemed to be stunned. Even when they saw the gun in Shen Ye's hand, they ignored him and walked right past him.

Fortunately, at that moment, a woman in a train attendant uniform ran over from the opposite carriage on the same floor. However, she wasn't just running away; she was shouting as she ran, "Monster! Monster!"

Although they were separated by a carriage, Shen Ye and the others still heard her voice. Shen Ye immediately frowned, wondering if it was a biological terrorist attack.

Just then, the train attendant came to the carriage where Shen Ye and his group were. When he saw Shen Ye and his group holding guns, he was first startled, and then he immediately said to them, "Where did you get these guns? Well, that's perfect. There are monsters on the train. You can use your guns to eliminate them."

"Tell us what kind of monster it is first," Shen Ye asked immediately.

"I...I don't know. They bite anyone they see, and some even grab people and stuff insects into their mouths." The flight attendant's face was full of terror as she gestured with her hands and feet.

"Wow!"

Upon hearing the train attendant's words, the passengers in the carriage made various noises, but most of them were disbelieving and questioning.

At this moment, Shen Ye noticed that the flight attendant's arm was bleeding. Just as he was about to take a closer look, the flight attendant's eyes suddenly turned red, and she covered her mouth, making a hissing sound.

Before Shen Ye could react, Robert, who was behind him, suddenly raised his gun and shot the flight attendant in the head.

The corpse, with half of its skull ripped open, fell straight down, its blood splattering onto Shen Ye's trouser leg.

Upon seeing this, another round of screams erupted in the carriage, and several people who couldn't stand it vomited. Instantly, in addition to the smell of blood, the carriage was filled with the sour stench of vomit.

Shen Ye frowned in disgust, stepped forward and kicked the flight attendant's corpse, then turned around. Just as he was about to shout for the passengers to be quiet, a loud cracking sound came from behind him, as if something had exploded.

"Shen, be careful!" Jill shouted a warning when she saw the flight attendant who had been shot in the head stand up again, with all sorts of disgusting tentacles growing on her head.

In fact, just as Jill spoke, Shen Ye had already turned around. Seeing the flight attendant with tentacles all over her head, he didn't even think twice before kicking her, sending her flying seven or eight meters away.

Robert, who was behind him, immediately stepped past him and pulled the trigger again at the flight attendant's head.

bang bang bang...

Robert fired seven or eight bullets in one go, smashing the tentacle-covered part to pieces before the opponent finally stopped.

……

Chapter 355! Bangkok Trip (Part 3)

(The previous chapter has been revised, with some plot changes.)

……

When Robert stopped shooting, the passengers in the carriage fell eerily quiet again, whether out of fear of the gun in her hand or because they were terrified by the attendant with tentacles all over her head.

Shen Ye stepped forward and poked the flight attendant's body with his rifle. After waiting a while and finding that the person was no longer moving, he squatted down to examine the body.

At this moment, Jill and the others also came over. Looking at the monster they had never seen before on the ground, Jill asked in a low voice, "Shen, what is this thing? It doesn't look like it's infected by a virus."

At first, when she heard the flight attendant's words, she thought the same as Shen Ye, that it was a bio-terrorist attack. But when the flight attendant's head exploded and disgusting tentacles grew out, she became confused about the situation.

Just as Shen Ye was about to speak, Soi said, "This is the Plaka parasite, an ancient creature."

Shen Ye was taken aback and immediately asked, "You actually recognize this thing?"

Soy's words surprised him greatly. He remembered that Jill had told him a few days ago that Leon and Chris had gone to a village in Europe to look for someone, which proved that the current plot should be the timeline of Resident Evil 4. Although the system had also given a hint that the timeline was no longer worth studying, in his opinion, the parasite should not have spread so quickly.

Soy nodded and explained, "The research institute where I used to work once purchased samples of this parasite from a remote village in a European country for experiments involving the fusion of the parasite and the virus."

Upon hearing her words, Shen Ye frowned immediately, while Cui Zhiyun, who was standing to the side, quickly asked, "Did you succeed?"

“It was a success, a resounding success. We even used that technology to create a monster that we found terrifying.” Soy continued nodding, then sighed, “It was only after creating that monster that I left the research institute.”

Then she looked at the corpse on the ground and continued, "However, this thing was just parasitized by ordinary Plaka parasites. It's far inferior to the parasite fusion virus we developed, so it shouldn't pose any threat to you."

Moreover, this thing can only parasitize through its larvae, and the parasitized host can still retain a certain level of cognitive ability, and might even use weapons to attack unparasitized humans. However, precisely because of this, the parasite's method of parasitism is very restricted, so as long as you don't get caught by them, you're basically immune to being parasitized.

"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved." Dutch slowly exhaled. He had personally witnessed the scene of the larvae splitting off from the fusion mutant infecting humans and turning them into monsters when he fought that fusion mutant before. That was what he was most worried about.

"Don't rush to relax, Dutch. Our troubles aren't just about parasites." Although he was speaking, Shen Ye was still examining the flight attendant's body. He grabbed the flight attendant's arm and showed the bleeding area to everyone.

"This is... a bite mark?" Jill recognized it at a glance when she saw the wound, but she wasn't sure.

“Yes, bite marks. She wasn’t just parasitized, she was also bitten by a zombie.” Shen Ye let go of the flight attendant’s arm, clapped his hands, and said, “I remember she said before that some of these monsters would bite anyone they saw.”

"So that means this train was poisoned twice?" Jill frowned. "Our enemies also include zombies?"

Although it may sound like zombies aren't as dangerous as people infected with parasites, they have more ways of getting infected, making them relatively more dangerous and troublesome.

"That's how it is for now." Shen Ye stood up, glanced at the passengers, and continued, "We need to find a way to isolate the passengers from the infected, otherwise our enemies will only multiply."

Soy shook his head and said, "That's unlikely. There's no completely enclosed environment on the train. Even if you close the doors, it can only stop zombies, not parasitic infected creatures that can use tools, unless..."

Levi, being impatient, interrupted Zoe before he could finish speaking, asking, "Unless what?"

Soi glanced around at the passengers and shrugged helplessly. "Unless you kill them all, compared to zombies and parasites, an ordinary person only needs a shot to the head. That's the optimal solution." She then tapped her temple with her finger.

Despite her helpless tone, the passengers who overheard their conversation were terrified, and someone immediately shouted, "You can't do this!"

Shen Ye glanced at the man, who shrank back in fright. But he wasn't looking for trouble, so he quickly turned back to Soi and said, "If this were in Roanapur, I would agree with you, but this isn't the place, so I can't do it, and neither can they."

"They" naturally refers to Jill and the others, but excludes Robert and Fabiola. The two maids would definitely kill everyone on the train for Shen Ye's sake, following the optimal solution suggested by Soy.

"To be honest, I was just proposing a solution; I don't actually support doing it." The reason Soi left the Pioneer Corporation's research institute was because she still had a conscience, and that solution was just a researcher's subconscious analysis.

"So, in order to reduce the number of enemies, what we need to do now is to take the initiative, clear out the zombies and parasites from the train, and rescue more survivors?" Levi asked.

Shen Ye hummed in agreement: "That's the only way for now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding passengers breathed a sigh of relief, and their anxiety subsided considerably.

But soon their hearts were in their throats again, because chaos broke out in the carriage in front of them. A large number of blood-covered zombies rushed up from the first floor, biting anyone they saw. Many passengers were so frightened by this scene that they ran towards the carriage where Shen Ye and the others were.

"Stop them! Don't let them in!" a passenger shouted in the carriage, but Shen Ye and his companions ignored him.

"You guys wait here."

Shen Ye gave an instruction to Gil and the others, then led Robert and Fabiola towards the carriage.

Upon entering the carriage, Shen Ye and his two companions immediately opened fire on the zombies. To their surprise, many of the zombies that had been shot in the head, like the train attendant, had their heads explode and tentacles grow back as they got up.

"Looks like being parasitized by the Plaka parasite doesn't make you immune to the transformation of biochemical viruses!" Shen Ye muttered, then fired his gun and knocked them down.

Soon, they killed most of the zombies that swarmed up. During the process, Robert also took the opportunity to shoot the bitten passengers, as they were a potential threat if they were infected without the antidote.

Her action startled many timid passengers, who screamed again. This greatly displeased Levi, who smashed the loudest woman over with the butt of her gun and yelled, "Shut up, you're too noisy!"

Under her threat of force, the carriage finally quieted down considerably, with only the sound of rifles firing remaining.

However, although Shen Ye and his two companions had dealt with most of the zombies that had entered this carriage, the other carriages were not so lucky. More and more zombies and parasites were moving from the first-floor carriages to the second-floor carriages, and this scene was playing out in every carriage, including the one where Jill and his group were now. So Jill and his group opened fire as well.

At this moment, every carriage had become extremely chaotic, with zombies, parasites, and living people mixed together, making it difficult for Shen Ye and his companions to distinguish them.

Fortunately, zombies and parasites are not on the same side. In addition to attacking living people, they will also attack each other, but that makes the scene even more chaotic.

After Shen Ye and his two companions cleared out the zombies and parasites in their carriage, they originally intended to enter other carriages, but upon hearing gunshots behind them, they immediately retreated to support Jill and the others.
