Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

"Strange, the car is here, but where did the person go?"

Shen Ye walked around the car, but didn't see a single person inside or outside. He then touched the engine and found it was completely cold, indicating that it had been parked there for a long time.

"They fired a shot just now, so they must have encountered danger. But even if they're trying to escape, four wheels are still faster than two legs, right?"

While muttering to himself, Shen Ye expanded the search area around him again, and then heard Robert call out, "Shen, come here for a second."

Shen Ye looked up and saw Robert and Manuela squatting by the river.

"Did you find anything, Robert?" Shen Ye ran over and asked.

“Look, there’s blood here.” Roberta lifted her skirt again, pulled a tactical knife from its sheath on the outside of her thigh, and picked up a patch of turf from the ground.

“And the blood hasn’t clotted yet,” Robert added. “The person should still be nearby.”

As she was speaking, Shen Ye noticed drag marks on the grass, and the marks were pointing directly towards the river beside them.

Chapter 117! Night Talk

……

So Shen Ye continued to follow the trail to the riverbank, where he found a Glock pistol.

The gun itself was not warm, but Shen Ye could still smell the residual odor of propellant from the muzzle.

"The person who fired the shot must have been dragged into the river by something." Robert walked over, glanced at the gun in Shen Ye's hand, and came to a conclusion.

"What do you think it could be?" Shen Ye asked her. "A python, or a crocodile?"

“There aren’t any pythons or crocodiles that big around here; this isn’t deep in the rainforest.” Robert has lived here for so long, and he has never seen a python or crocodile that could drag a person away.

“Since neither of those are the case, there’s only one possibility.” Shen Ye glanced at Manuela, “A BOW has appeared nearby.”

“BOW? Could it be sent by Havel?” Robert was taken aback for a moment, then his expression turned serious.

“Besides him, there shouldn’t be any other force here that has BOW,” Shen Ye said with certainty. “It must be him.”

"But why would he do that?" Robert asked, puzzled. Although the Labras was also a mafia family, after their decline, they started a plantation and had no conflict of interest with Javier, who was known as the biggest drug lord in South America.

"Who knows!" Shen Ye shrugged.

But he already knew the answer in his heart: just like in the original story, Javier did this on purpose in order to force his daughter back to him.

This man, driven to madness by his twisted paternal love, not only slaughtered several villages with BOWs to prevent his daughter from wandering off, but also released water from a reservoir containing the T-virus, causing many innocent villagers to turn into zombies after drinking the water.

"No, I must go back immediately and tell the master and the others about this," Robert said anxiously.

"Then let's hurry up and go." Shen Ye said, pulling the somewhat absent-minded Manuela along to follow Robert.

……

In fact, Shen Ye's answer was not accurate, because Javier was not sure whether Manuela was actually at the Labras family manor.

However, one thing is certain: the BOW that appeared near the manor is indeed related to him.

Just as Shen Ye and his two companions crossed the bridge again, a monster resembling an ancient plesiosaur was quietly lurking in the water beneath it.

After Shen Ye and the others got off the bridge, the monster emerged from the water, swam to the shore, and then stretched out its long neck, staring blankly at Manuella, who was being dragged along by Shen Ye.

Only after Manuela's figure completely disappeared into the moonlight did the monster slowly dive back into the water. However, on its terrifying head, a melancholy expression appeared in a human-like way.

……

On their way back to the manor, Shen Ye and his two companions unexpectedly ran into Leon.

"What happened? I just heard gunshots."

When Leon contacted Krauser, he heard gunshots, but because they were too far away, he couldn't tell which way they were coming from, so he just ran around the manor with his pistol in hand.

“There might be a BOW nearby,” Shen Ye said briefly.

These few words were enough to make Lyon take the matter seriously. He asked, "Was it Javier who did it?"

"If there are no surprises, it should be him," Shen Ye said.

"Did you encounter those BOWs?" Leon looked Shen Ye and Roberto up and down, but didn't see any signs of fighting on them, so he quickly said, "Did those monsters hide?"

“That’s exactly what we’re worried about,” Shen Ye said. “Who knows when or where they’ll attack us.”

“Looks like we need to go back first.” Leon knew the situation was serious, and he didn’t want to go out searching for the BOWs at night without streetlights unless absolutely necessary.

"So that's what we're doing. We need to get together and discuss it properly," Shen Ye said.

They met Lyon not far from the manor; they arrived in less than ten minutes.

Robert ran up and down to inform Garcia and Diego. Shen Ye and the others waited downstairs for a while before seeing them come down.

"Robert said you encountered those monsters created by Havel?" Diego asked directly after coming downstairs.

"Actually, we didn't encounter them, but some people were attacked by those monsters. They left traces, and we suspect it was the BOWs that Havel kept that did it," Shen Ye briefly explained their findings.

“That’s troublesome. The manor has no ability to resist.” Diego glanced at Robert and Fabiola. Although the two maids were both very strong, he didn’t think they were a match for those monsters.

“So you have to leave here,” Lyon said.

“Now?” Diego paused for a moment. “Traveling at night is not a good option. This is the countryside, there are no streetlights, and besides the carriage, the only other vehicle in the estate is a Volkswagen Beetle from the 1960s. It can’t carry that many people. Even if we reach the town by daybreak.”

"In that case, we can only wait until dawn the next day before we leave," Shen Ye said, frowning.

“Then let’s leave tomorrow,” Diego said, then he asked, “Why would Javier target us? We don’t seem to have any conflict of interest.”

“Who knows!” Shen Ye repeated his answer to Robert.

But just as he finished speaking, Manuela suddenly said, "It's probably because of me."

"You?" Everyone looked at Manuela.

Manuela nodded and began to tell them her story, especially the heinous things her father had done to save her.

"So it turns out that your father was responsible for those fifty-odd missing girls." Garcia said in shock after hearing the whole story.

“I ran away because I couldn’t bear what my father did,” Manuela said painfully. “If I hadn’t run here, perhaps my father wouldn’t have attacked you. It’s all my fault.”

“This has nothing to do with you, Manuela.” Shen Ye patted her head. “You can only blame your father. He’s too selfish. Besides, even if you weren’t sick, given his personality, he would have done these things sooner or later.”

Although Javier's motivation for using the bio-virus was to save his daughter, judging from the various signs that followed, even if Manuela hadn't fallen ill, having experienced the power of the virus, he would have done things that would have angered both heaven and man, because his nature was evil. Moreover, he was the biggest drug lord in South America, and no excuse could absolve him of his crimes.

……

Chapter 118! Preparations for Krauser's Arrival

However, even after Shen Ye said that, Manuela's mood did not improve; her expression remained full of pain and self-blame.

“Listen, Manuela, if you want to feel better, tell me where your father is.” Leon’s goal this time was to deal with Javier, so he said what he had wanted to say for a long time.

"He must be judged by law and morality."

Hearing this, Manuela felt a pang of inner turmoil, because Javier was, after all, her father, and everything he had done was for her.

But Manuela was a kind girl, and everything her father did was actually tormenting her all the time.

After hesitating for a moment, she nodded: "I can tell you where my father is."

"He's at the very top of that river, where there's a dam..."

……

After learning Javier's location, Lyon did not act rashly.

It wasn't that his teammate Krauser hadn't arrived yet; after all, Shen Ye was still here, along with two powerful maids.

Moreover, compared to Krauser, Leon trusted Shen Ye, who had fought alongside him in Raccoon City, more.

The main reason for not setting off now is that there are still some civilians in the Labras estate who are unable to fight. Shen Ye and his group decided to stay overnight, settle Garcia and the others, and then deal with Javier.

Although the Labras family has declined, as one of the thirteen major gangs in South America, and with a ruthless figure like Roberto who came from the Colombian Revolutionary Army, the manor is not short of weapons. It not only has various standard rifles, but also powerful weapons such as grenade launchers and rocket launchers.

So after arming himself, Leon felt much more confident, a much better situation than when he shot the Tyrant with a pistol in Raccoon City.

With four main combat forces, after arming themselves, Shen Ye suggested that the four take turns on night watch.

Robert and Fabiola kept watch for the first half of the night, while he and Lyon kept watch for the second half.

No one objected, because it was the best course of action.

Soon, the night was over.

The attack they had anticipated did not occur that night; it was an eerily quiet night.

The next morning, Diego and Garcia, having packed their things, headed to the town of Seine with their servants who were unable to fight.

Now, only Shen Ye, Lyon, Roberto, Fabiola, and Manuela remain in the entire manor.

Of course, we also have to add Krauser, who contacted Lyon an hour ago, saying he was almost there and had even run into Garcia and his group on the way.

Around noon, Krausa finally arrived at the manor.

Similar to the scene in the cutscene Shen Ye had seen, Krauser was a standard white, muscular man, wearing a reddish, tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt, which was perhaps stretched out by his strong muscles. He wore camouflage pants and carried a jungle camouflage backpack on his back.
