Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

……

After Balalaika left, the dock finally quieted down.

"Locke, what are your plans next?"

As the sun set, Dutch leaned against a huge concrete block and asked Locke a question.

“I’m no longer a hostage, so I don’t know where to go.” Locke shrugged, trying to sound casual. “Why don’t you recommend a place to go?”

"Then join them, join the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce. Even though it's a life of constant danger, it's still a job, isn't it?" Shen Ye, who was squatting on a rock smoking in silence, looked up and said.

His words made Locke and Dutch both somewhat tempted.

One reason was that they had nowhere else to go, and the other was that they had a somewhat good impression of him.

But one person disagreed, and that was Revy.

Because of Shen Ye's involvement, Locke's performance did not attract her attention, so after Shen Ye made his suggestion, she immediately shouted, "That won't do. The Black Reef Chamber of Commerce only needs elites. He doesn't even dare to fire a gun. What's the use of letting him join?"

An awkward expression flashed across Locke's face. Although he had turned to the dark side, his value still hadn't been demonstrated.

Dutch inexplicably felt a good liking for Locke, probably thinking that he was the same kind of person as himself, and quickly said, "After all, it was our fault that he lost his job and almost lost his life, so let him join us. I will train him well."

Dutch's words were most useful in the Black Lagoon, and Levi only listened to him. Although she was still somewhat dissatisfied, after thinking about it, she could only nod in agreement.

"In that case, Shen, why don't you join our Black Reef Chamber of Commerce?" Levi then steered the conversation towards Shen Ye.

"You're skilled, brave, and quick-witted. Join us, and we'll grow bigger and stronger, creating even greater glories."

"That won't do. I have a bounty on my head right now. Going there would only implicate you." Shen Ye naturally refused.

Not to mention that he wasn't very interested in what the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce did, he couldn't join Black Reef just because he had a bounty of several million dollars on his head.

"So what? We're not afraid!" Levi waved her hand vigorously. "Besides, Sister Balalaika said we can go to her if anything happens."

“So, Shen, please join Black Reef.” Levi looked at Shen Ye.

Chapter 68! Purchasing Armaments

Ultimately, Shen Ye did not join the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce.

This disappointed Levi, as did Dutch. Everyone had witnessed how skilled Shen Ye was, and although there was a little trouble now, he didn't care.

However, when Shen Ye said that he would stay in Roanapur for a while and that he would lend a hand if the Black Reef Merchant Guild needed help, Dutch smiled.

For those in their line of work, having one more powerful friend is better than anything else.

……

Next, Shen Ye boarded a ship from the Black Lagoon Company and returned to Roanapur, where he rented a house not far from the Black Lagoon Company's office.

Then he had some free time.

There are two reasons why he has been free lately. First, most of the work that the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce has been doing lately involves transporting smuggled cigarettes and alcohol, which is not very demanding, so he has no interest in getting involved.

Secondly, as a mobile vault worth five million US dollars, he really didn't want to show his face in Roanapur, a place teeming with gangsters and killers.

So he basically stayed in his rented room every day, or went to the Black Reef Chamber of Commerce office to chat with Levi and the others. Only when night fell would he put on a hat and mask and go out for a stroll.

At night, Roanapur is a paradise that can attract any man.

Therefore, Shen Ye's days were not boring during this period.

Of course, Shen Ye was also preparing for the upcoming plot and what might happen.

That is to purchase weapons.

This time, Shen Ye had enough funds to buy weapons and arm himself, so he no longer needed to risk robbing gun shops...

In reality, although Roanapur is a place of evil, it is not like the United States, where gun shops are everywhere. If he needs weapons, he can only ask some people with connections to buy them.

In fact, after returning to Roanapura with Levi and the others, he had told Dutch that he wanted to buy some weapons from them first.

Although Dutch said he could send him some directly, given the Black Lagoon Company's financial situation, which was basically running at a loss, most of what they would send were ordinary light weapons.

After all, their trump card is just an RPG.

Shen Ye was certainly not satisfied; he needed more heavy weapons, such as shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missiles, portable grenade launchers, and heavy firepower equipment like the Claymore and RPK.

Because of the crossover storyline, Shen Ye could already imagine himself being chased by BOW and helicopters again. To avoid a repeat of the past, he urgently needed these equipment.

The Black Reef Merchant Guild naturally didn't have the items he mentioned, but they said they could help him purchase them, provided he had enough money.

In the past, this would have been a big problem for Shen Ye, but since the system shop was opened, money is probably the most useless thing.

His system shop has the purest gold at incredibly low prices. Of course, you can also directly exchange it for the most valuable currency in your world, at an exchange rate equivalent to the most valuable and hardest-to-trade goods in the current world (such as gold).

(Actually, weapons can be directly exchanged in the system shop, but the price is too expensive compared to exchanging for money or gold, so it's not worth it at all. He has to save them up and exchange them for better ones later.)

So, when Shen Ye threw a whole box of US dollars in front of Dutch a few days later, all the problems were no longer problems.

All that's left is to wait.

A week later, Levi knocked on Shen Ye's door.

The things he ordered had arrived, but they weren't delivered to his door; he had to pick them up himself.

Levi was the guide for the trip, but Locke was the driver. He sat in the car with the engine running, his hand on the gear shift, his eyes glancing around from time to time.

Just two weeks ago, this ordinary Japanese man was just a corporate slave. Although he hasn't fully adapted to his current life yet, he already looks quite capable. At least, working at sea these past few days has given him quite a tan.

"It's starting to look quite good, Locke."

After getting on the bus, Shen Ye took off his hat and glasses and gave a compliment.

"This is what Benny taught me. He said that if you're parking, it's best not to turn off the engine carelessly, and you should always be aware of your surroundings," Locke explained as he drove into the middle of the road after Shen Ye and Levi were settled.

"Looks like you're well-suited for this job," Shen Ye said with a smile. "It's much better than being a corporate slave."

"If I had a choice, I would still prefer to continue being a corporate slave," Locke said helplessly, after all, he was completely forced into this path.

"Are you saying that working for capitalists is worse than doing what we do?" Levi was very dissatisfied with Locke's words and shouted at him angrily.

"No."

As expected of Beni's teaching, he even learned to be instantly cowardly. Locke shrank his neck and immediately responded.

He had been scolded by Levi these past few days, and she would point a gun at him at any time. He was already filled with fear of this woman.

"That's more like it." Seeing that Locke had backed down, Levi nodded with satisfaction. She rolled down the car window, tossed a cigarette to Shen Ye, and then began to tell him about the news she had received over the past few days.

"Your bounty has increased again. An anonymous big shot has added another five million to your bounty in his personal capacity. You are now a multi-millionaire, Shen."

"The Triads seemed interested in taking on the bounty, but the day before yesterday, Sister Balalaika went to the Triads and talked to their boss, Zhang, for a while, trying to get them to drop it, but they didn't respond."

"Several assassin organizations have already sent people to Roanapur. I've also heard there are people from South America, where there's been constant fighting, and they're all ruthless characters."

“There are movements in Japan and Europe as well, but there is no concrete news yet. Dutch is still inquiring and should get a reply in a few days.”

"Also, Shen, are you sure you don't want that money? If it's split equally, you can get five million by yourself!"

Oh, I forgot you're not short of money. The money you spent on weapons is equivalent to our profits from seven or eight trips..."

Levi kept talking, but her words revealed a hint of concern.

Shen Ye listened with a smile, while Locke occasionally chimed in with a few words, creating a very harmonious atmosphere in the car.

Soon, guided by the map, we arrived at our destination.

The entrance to a church.

"Liboffer Church".

After getting off the bus, Locke looked at the church in front of him and asked in surprise, "Levi, are you sure this is the place? Or is the map wrong?"

“The map is never wrong, we come here all the time, you idiot,” Levi cursed, then walked to the door and knocked on it forcefully.

Shen Ye put on his hat and glasses before getting out of the car. As he looked at the cathedral, Ida's image suddenly came to mind.

He remembered that there was a nun in the church, whose name was also... Ida.

……

(I'm quite busy today, so Chapter 2 will be quite late.)

Chapter 69! The Violent Church... and the So-Called Inside Information

However, compared to the mysterious identity of Ada, whom Shen Ye was acquainted with, this nun Ada had an unclear relationship with the CIA, or rather, the entire church was the same.

"I wonder how she is now, and which country she's probably on a mission in." Shen Ye's thoughts drifted.

But it was quickly interrupted by urgent knocking and Revy's cursing.

"Hey, you old hag, open the door!"

"Did you hear me? I'm Levi from the Black Reef Merchant Guild. Open the door now, you old woman."

Along with her knocking, a parrot not far from the church entrance chimed in, calling "hello" and occasionally adding "I'll kill you."

"No wonder it's the Church of Violence; even their parrots are so violent." Shen Ye smiled, but he had no mood to think about Ada Wong anymore. He walked behind Revy and said, "Alright, Revy, stop knocking. You've got the wrong spot."
