Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

The Moscow Hotel is located in the heart of Roanapur, and the Black Reef Merchants Association are regulars here; they arrived quickly.

"The boss is already waiting for you in the reception room."

At the door, Balalaika's adjutant addressed them.

This veteran, who, like Balalaika, had fought in the Imperial Graveyard, showed no emotional fluctuation on his face. After saying the previous sentence, he said to Shen Ye, "You are a celebrity, I know you."

Shen Ye looked blank; his impression of SL was still based on the propaganda he had heard in the country and online.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Shen Ye said.

"You'll find out soon enough." The adjutant's expression finally changed slightly. "The boss has found out something about you."

"What? What did I do?" Shen Ye was still completely bewildered. Even though it was a plot connection, he hadn't done anything in Raccoon City.

The adjutant smiled calmly and gestured for you to go in: "You can go in first, the boss is waiting for you."

……

The Moscow Hotel, as a newly formed organization after the disintegration of the former SL, is actually much larger than most people imagine. Even its branches in Southeast Asia are terrifying entities.

As they followed the adjutant upwards, not only Shen Ye, but also the head maid Roberta, who was following behind, exclaimed in surprise.

"Even the Colombian Revolutionary Army probably doesn't have such strength."

As a veteran, she could naturally see the immense power of the Moscow Hotel members lurking around her. Their descent into gangsterism was a misfortune for the world.

Soon, they stepped onto the top floor of the building.

Levi and Dutch, being long-time residents of Roanapur and close associates of the Moscow Hotel, immediately opened the door and went inside. They then addressed the woman behind the desk, saying, "Balalaika, we've come as invited."

“Welcome.” Balalaika nodded, a large cigar dangling from her lips, and gestured to the sofa in front of her. “Have a seat for a while; we have some friends coming.”

The friends Balalaika mentioned were naturally their colleagues who were on good terms with them, belonging to the Triads, a criminal organization.

Not long after Shen Ye and his group sat down, two more people entered the room.

A man wearing a trench coat in the sweltering heat of over 30 degrees Celsius in Roanapur, and a woman wearing a cheongsam.

They were the Triad members who had been invited to attend the meeting.

"Let me introduce you. This is Boss Zhang... Zhang Weixin, and his assistant, Miss Xianhua, nicknamed 'Crane'," Balalaika said. (Calling her Shenhua is fine, but it always evokes a certain game.)

Of course, this was said to Shen Ye and Robert.

Aside from the newly joined Locke, the Black Reef Merchant Guild was quite familiar with the Triad leader.

"I've long admired your name." Shen Ye was certainly familiar with Zhang Weixin and Xianhua, so he said this polite remark in Mandarin.

Overseas, familiarity with a language is usually a plus for friendship and goodwill. Even if there is a saying that fellow countrymen might stab each other in the back, for Zhang Weixin and Xianhua, who are equally powerful and have a good reputation, they only felt closeness.

"It's an honor to meet you." Zhang Weixin stood up and bowed slightly to Shen Ye. (He spoke Mandarin, although he should have spoken Hokkien or Cantonese.)

Unlike Zhang Weixin, Xianhua did not stand up and bow, but instead bowed gracefully and said, "I have also heard of your great name."

After exchanging pleasantries, Balalaika continued, "Boss Zhang, how are things going on your end?"

Zhang Weixin lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "My men said they should have been discovered by the other side, but it seems they didn't have any ill intentions towards us, so they remained calm after being discovered."

“Same.” Balalaka was not surprised at all: “The people I sent out were also discovered by the other side. They did not show any malice. They even sent someone to negotiate with us, saying they were willing to give us some money.”

"And then?" Levi asked. This was what she cared about most right now, everything about Shen Ye, especially her safety.

“That’s all,” Balalaika said. “Although they showed goodwill, Roanapura is my territory…”

At this point, she glanced at Zhang Weixin and, seeing that he remained calm, continued, "I don't really trust them."

"The right choice." Shen Ye didn't mind risking his own safety.

“Outsiders are not trustworthy,” he added.

Hearing this, Balalaika smiled and said, "You're an outsider too."

“I’m different. I have no interest in Roanapur, and besides, I can’t do it,” Shen Ye said. “But those people are different. Although they won’t have any designs on Roanapur, they will do some bad things, such as targeting me while causing damage here.”

"What kind of damage can some pharmaceutical companies cause?" Xianhua, dressed like a traditional Chinese beauty, asked.

"Hmm." Shen Ye thought for a moment and said, "Maybe they'll release some viruses, or use this place as a testing ground or something."

“This isn’t a movie shoot,” Xianhua said.

"You have to believe that anything is possible," Shen Ye said. "If you had experienced what I have experienced, you wouldn't say that."

“Indeed.” Balalaika continued Shen Ye’s words: “According to some intelligence, some of the forces targeting Shen do indeed possess abilities like those depicted in the movies.”

“Especially someone I used to know,” Balalaika said.

“My colleagues in the KGB told me that one of my former superiors defected to a pharmaceutical organization in the United States, which gave him abilities that ordinary people would not believe.”

At this point, Balalaika looked at Shen Ye: "However, those abilities come at a price, which is why they sent people into Roanapur to capture Shen."

"So, Shen, I'm very curious about you now. What exactly did you do in Raccoon City that made my former superior, Vladimir, so obsessed with you?"

……

(The second chapter is rather weak)

Chapter 81! She... is a God

Balalaika was naturally unaware of what had happened in Raccoon City due to the information blockade imposed by the United States.

However, through some channels, she learned some so-called inside information, one of which was related to her former superior, Sergei Vladimir.

The day before Raccoon City was nuclearly bombed, Sergei appeared in Raccoon City and had a conflict with Shen Ye.

Shen Ye didn't know how to answer Balalaika's question. It wasn't that he couldn't answer, but rather that he didn't know where to begin.

Of course, the main reason was that he didn't understand why Sergei was targeting him like that, just because of his performance at the time? But apart from fighting the tyrant hand-to-hand, everything else was something a normal person could do.

Seeing Shen Ye frowning in thought, Balalaika roughly guessed that Shen Ye was also unclear about some things, so she waved her hand and said, "Let's not worry about that for now. The reason I invited you here is to discuss with you the people who recently entered Roanapura."

As she spoke, she glanced at her adjutant behind her.

The adjutant immediately turned on the projector on the table and displayed a photograph on the white cloth opposite him.

“These were the first people to enter Raccoon City,” Balalaika said.

"Judging from the insignia on their shoulders and the equipment they carried, they appeared to belong to a security force of a company called Trinity Pharmaceuticals."

"It's them. I didn't expect them to come too." Shen Ye was taken aback. Although Sanlian Pharmaceutical was also a company with a long history, was it a bit too early for them to show up now?

“It seems you know them quite well,” Balalaika said.

Shen Ye nodded: "I'm not very familiar with them. I've only heard of them and haven't had any dealings with them yet, but I know they're a pharmaceutical company that's been around for a long time."

"Oh, is that so?" Balalaika said, then gestured to her adjutant to switch to the next photo.

Click, the next photo pops up, but it displays several portraits at the same time.

"These people are quite mysterious. We have very little information about them, and they are the least involved of the various factions."

Balalaika pointed to one of the people in the photo and said, "But you should recognize this guy. According to the records, he is also one of the survivors of Raccoon City."

“You’re wrong,” Shen Ye shook his head, correcting Balalaika’s words.

"He is not one of the survivors, but one of the instigators of the Raccoon City disaster. It is because of him that Raccoon City has become a hell."

The person Balalaika was referring to was someone Shen Ye knew all too well… Albert Wesker.

He was also familiar with the other people in the photo; they were Wesker's wolf pack.

However, Shen Ye found it strange that he didn't see Ida in the photo.

"Could it be that she didn't carry out this mission?" Shen Ye wondered.

He remembered very clearly that Ada was a top agent, and she participated in every HCF operation.

"Are you very familiar with him?!" Balalaika asked, looking at Shen Ye's surprised expression.

Shen Ye nodded: "He's a terrifying guy."

Then he added, "His strength is extremely formidable, barring any unforeseen circumstances..."

At this point, he glanced around at everyone present and said, "Even if we all joined forces, we probably wouldn't be a match for him."

"Is it really that exaggerated? He's not Superman," Revy asked, skeptical.

“He’s as exaggerated as Superman. Believe me, Levi, none of us can beat him. He can even ignore guns.”

Shen Ye knew Wesker very well.

This creature is almost perfectly adapted to the existence of the virus, possesses superhuman physical abilities, and can even dodge gunfire at close range.

He clearly remembered that in the fifth installment of the game's storyline, Wesker could easily defeat Chris, even when Chris used up all the equipment he carried.

However, for Wesker, any firearm was just for show.

If it weren't for the plot-driven death, Shen Ye was certain that he could have remained the BOSS until all the main characters died naturally.

"You're exaggerating, Shen."

Balalaika, of course, didn't believe it. She had seen too many geniuses on the battlefield and simply didn't believe that anyone could dodge bullets.

"I'm not exaggerating, believe me, if you encounter him, running away is the best option," Shen Ye said.
