Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

Feeling that no matter what reason he gave, he couldn't explain it clearly, Shen Ye was a bit overwhelmed. In the end, he decided to put these things aside for now and catch up with the members of the Alpha team first, since improvisation was his forte.

With a slight sigh, Shen Ye began to examine the muddy footprints around him. Don't forget, the Alpha team members came from the jungle, and the weather in Raccoon City hadn't been very good these past few days, so the muddy tracks they left behind were very clear.

After checking around, Shen Ye helplessly discovered that he had no way of identifying who left the footprints.

As an elite urban force, STARS has always been managed in a quasi-military manner. Members wear standard equipment, including thick-soled combat boots with identical anti-slip treads on the soles and similar sizes, since combat boots don't come in small sizes.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ye could only randomly choose a footprint and follow it.

……

As mentioned at the beginning, the story has been going on for some time now. Shen Ye has seen many zombie corpses along the way, killed many zombies himself, and even encountered a few green monsters.

Shen Ye recognized those monsters, the Hunters, and knew what kind they were, but no matter what kind they were, he didn't want to disturb them.

So Shen Ye hid in a room for a while, and only continued forward after the monsters left.

After following the trail for a while, the footprints gradually became blurred, and by the time they reached the depths of the mansion, the footprints were no longer visible.

The mansion was a maze of interconnected passageways and covered a large area. If it weren't for the occasional zombie corpses and scattered pistol shell casings in the corridors, Shen Ye would have suspected he would have gotten lost.

As Shen Ye passed through another corridor, it seemed that his lucky star had finally woken up, because he could hear the footsteps of humans moving around.

Yes, it was definitely the sound of footsteps made by humans. Zombie Iron could never walk with such steady steps.

The sound wasn't far away, probably in one of the rooms in front of him. Shen Ye suppressed his excitement and slowly moved forward.

Then he discovered that the sound was coming from the third room in the corridor.

The door to the room wasn't closed tightly; it was ajar, so Shen Ye could clearly see what was inside.

A tall, slender young woman with short, dark brown hair was rummaging through the room looking for something.

Without even thinking, Shen Ye knew who this woman was.

Jill Valentine is one of the most popular female protagonists in the entire Resident Evil series, almost as popular as Wang Jie.

Just as he was about to go in and say hello, the alert policewoman had already sensed the movement outside the door. She decisively turned around and fired a shot.

"I'm human, don't... Holy crap."

The moment Shen Ye saw Jill turn around and raise her hand, he knew what she was going to do. Before he could finish explaining, he turned into a swear word.

Fortunately, the shot only hit the door frame next to Shen Ye, but the wood chips that flew off the wooden door frame after being hit by the bullet still left a shallow wound on his face.

"Damn it, he's a human."

The command to fire had already been sent from the brain to the body; it was an instinctive drive that made it impossible for her to stop.

But Shen Ye was lucky. Jill fired the shot subconsciously, so it wasn't very accurate. Otherwise, Shen Ye would probably be considered the unluckiest transmigrator in history.

"Madam, please don't shoot, I am human."

Shen Ye, who had already retreated outside the door, shouted, "It takes a lot of courage to face a gun barrel, especially since the owner of this gun has just proven that she is definitely not a soft-hearted person."

“Okay, I apologize for my decisiveness, but you should understand that in a place like this, no one wants a stranger standing behind them, especially a stranger with a rifle.” Jill offered a half-hearted apology, explaining that her actions were perfectly reasonable.

“Of course, I understand what you did. If I were you, I would have done the same.” Shen Ye said, following Jill’s words, while thinking to himself, “I almost forgot that this is America. The police really do shoot.”

The comfortable time he had endured eroded his vigilance to an extreme degree, which was fatal.

Even though he killed a lot of zombies on his way here, he still couldn't get back to his previous fighting state. This still requires a sufficiently profound process.

Taking a few deep breaths, Shen Ye calmed his pounding heart. Seeing that the policewoman didn't respond, he said, "Can I go in? I feel a lot of pressure staying outside. You know, there are monsters everywhere here, it's not safe."

“The rifle in your hand is the real danger,” Jill said immediately. “But you’re right, there are monsters everywhere here. Compared to them, at least you’re still a human being. Come in.”

Then she thoughtfully added, "Don't worry, I definitely won't fire again this time."

"Thank you so much, ma'am." Shen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walked into the room, and closed the door behind him.

Chapter 6! Give me some time

Seeing Shen Ye close the door, Jill felt the urge to raise her gun again, but when she saw Shen Ye put his hands down and let the AR15 rifle hang on his chest after closing the door, she suppressed it.

She knew the other person was indicating they meant no harm, so she put the gun back in its holster and engaged the safety.

Shen Ye noticed this detail and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that the safety on his gun was still on.

"Can you tell me who you are? And why are you here?"

The two stared at each other for a while before Jill broke the silence.

Shen Ye pondered for a moment, but couldn't think of anything suitable to say. He cleared his throat and could only say, "My name is Shen Ye, a tourist from an Eastern country. As for why I am here, I would say that as a tourist, it is not surprising that I am here."

"Really? A tourist? You think I look like one of those two little girls from the Barry family who are only a few years old?" Jill suddenly wanted to laugh. She glanced at the AR15 hanging on Shen Ye's chest and said sarcastically, "If you're going to lie, at least make it believable. A tourist carrying an automatic rifle."

Just as Shen Ye had anticipated, no one would believe that a tourist would carry an AR15 while traveling, especially in an area cordoned off by the Raccoon City police.

Shen Ye sighed slightly. He had expected Jill to say that, but his mind worked quickly, and he immediately came up with a new excuse.

"Indeed, it is unbelievable. But madam, there is one thing I must correct. Due to the laws of your country, this is a semi-automatic rifle. Also, this is the United States, a free country. It is perfectly normal to travel with a rifle, and it is my right to do so."

Jill was speechless for a moment after Shen Ye's words. After a long while, she murmured, "That's why I don't really like this kind of freedom. It's a bit too much."

But she quickly realized something because she remembered something.

“You said you are a tourist from an Eastern country, but I remember that inbound tourists are not allowed to carry guns. I have reason to suspect that your firearms are of dubious origin, because our country’s laws stipulate that it is not allowed to sell firearms to inbound tourists.”

"Uh..." Faced with Jill's words, Shen Ye didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only remain silent.

Seeing this, Jill's face turned up slightly, and she continued, "I admit that what you just said almost misled me, but it's far from enough for an elite police officer in Raccoon City. So, Mr. Tourist, you must give me a reasonable explanation, or I will arrest you."

“A reasonable explanation!” Shen Ye scratched his head in embarrassment, then asked, “My dear lady, are you in a hurry?”

Jill frowned: "Why do you ask that?"

Shen Ye spread his hands: "Because it takes me some time to come up with a reasonable explanation."

This time it was Jill's turn to be speechless. Looking at Shen Ye's expression that said, "You're making things difficult for me," she waved her hand angrily: "Damn it, this is such a waste of time and a completely meaningless exchange."

“Yes, so why don’t we just skip this topic?” Shen Ye chuckled. “Besides, my identity isn’t important. You just need to know that I have no ill intentions, otherwise you wouldn’t have had the chance to shoot me.”

“That’s why I’m willing to waste my breath talking to you, sir.” Jill, of course, understood that if the man before her truly harbored ill intentions, she would be dead by now.

Of course, it wasn't just because the other party meant no harm; the woman's sixth sense told her that the man in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person, and that he seemed to know something.

However, Jill was too lazy to dwell on this matter any longer. The most important thing now was to find out the details of this mansion and then find the surviving members of the missing Bulava squad.

"By the way, now that you know my name, could you introduce yourself? I can't keep calling you 'Madam,' can I? It's a respectful title, but it feels a bit distant." Shen Ye couldn't help but ask, looking at Jill who seemed to be deep in thought.

“Maintaining distance is a good thing.” Although Jill said this, she still introduced herself:

"Jill, Jill Valentine, the star cop of Raccoon City."

……

Exchanging names is the first step to becoming friends, but of course, that's not enough.

After learning Jill's name by asking a question he already knew the answer to, Shen Ye tactfully steered the conversation toward the mansion that Jill cared about most.

"I saw you rummaging through things in the room just now. Did you find anything?" Shen Ye asked, glancing at the documents that Jill had messed up on the table.

Sure enough, Jill's attention was diverted, and she frowned as she said, "Nothing has been found yet."

Shen Ye wasn't surprised. The story had only just begun, and Jill and the others hadn't gathered enough information, except for him.

But he couldn't reveal a single word.

He had just tried, but the words were cut off by a force before he could speak, which could only be attributed to the system's limitations.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Ye suggested, "Let's go check other rooms. The mansion is so big, we're bound to find something."

Jill nodded: "That's exactly what I'm going to do."

Then she glanced at Shen Ye and asked, "Do you have any extra 9mm bullets?"

"Yes, of course."

Jill said somewhat awkwardly, "Could you give me some? I'm running low on bullets."

In the game, the protagonists can search through boxes and cabinets or loot corpses to collect ammunition, but in reality, every shot fired is one less shot available.

"Of course, but..."

As Shen Ye spoke, he took off his backpack, placed it on the table, unzipped it, and to Jill's astonished gaze, took out another AR15 along with a shotgun and threw it to her.

"I think you need this more than pistol bullets."

Looking at the two spears in her hands, Jill finally couldn't hold back any longer. She stared intently at Shen Ye: "You must know something."

"Sorry, I don't know anything." Shen Ye shrugged. "I'm just a passerby."

"A passerby? Then why were you so well prepared?" Jill continued to ask.

Shen Ye smiled and handed some more magazines to Jill: "Because I lack a sense of security, weapons can bring me a little comfort in an unfamiliar environment."

Jill, of course, did not believe Shen Ye's words. Up to this point, she believed that most of what Shen Ye said was a lie.

The only thing I think might be true is Shen Ye's statement that he meant me no harm.

The gun in her hand is the best proof.

But why did he do that?
