The Zombies

"They're everywhere..." Jonathan looked at all the zombies he had left in his wake on the way to the police station, where he would continue his adventure.

Anywhere in Raccoon City, the hellish scene of life, burning cars along with the sounds of gunfire, was something that could be perceived for kilometers.

In his right hand, Jonathan held a sword that was a replica; he had found it on the ground next to a young man wearing a headband from a certain bloody clan.

After careful consideration, all he had to do was follow certain people until he found William and eliminate him while dealing with other monsters along the way.

Furthermore, what he needed to pay the most attention to was how he should interact with Ada, who theoretically was the partner of the identity he had assumed from the beginning.

Although both of them could have been using each other to achieve their own goals before this, that was something Jonathan didn't know. So, he thought for a moment that it would be better to act neutrally. This was just a simulation, so he shouldn't be distressed by insignificant things in his life.

For him, who is just a boy who accidentally came to this place and seeks to return to a place where everything here is just fiction, even if he can think that the people here believe this world is theirs.

What he must also obtain is a sample of the G-Virus, so he had to think carefully about getting the most benefits without getting hurt.

As far as he knew, he completed the main mission, which was to find out what caused the zombie infection outbreak in Raccoon City, save Jill from Nemesis, and most likely Nemesis won't reappear since he should be dead.

Doing much more than that is an overexposure to being fatally injured. He no longer had those herbs that healed his wounds, so for now, he could only rely on his healing factor. He would feel the pain, so he would prefer a thousand times not to get hurt if it wasn't really necessary.

"I have good weaponry, but it would be necessary to carry a rocket launcher to eliminate the evolved Tyrants and the famous William Birkin..." Jonathan carried the backpack of a guitar where he had all his heavy weaponry except for some other things he carried on his body.

After wandering for over an hour, the outline of the police station appeared before my eyes.

Bang Bang Bang Bang!

At this point, someone like Jonathan could perfectly hear some gunshots coming from the police station.

Obviously, there are still people in that direction.

Now what he had to do is make sure not to miss his encounter with Leon.

In the Resident Evil 2 remake, there are many similarities in the plots of Leon and Claire.

But if you really wanted to complete the game, you had to complete both routes, and depending on which one you chose as prototype A, the second character would default to B.

In addition, Jonathan had to consider many of the things his friend told him, such as restricted accesses. For example, a unique item for Leon while exploring the police station is the clover key, while a unique item for Claire is the heart key.

All this makes each of them able to access rooms that become inaccessible to the other, and the way to explore the police station, a common scenario for both, is not identical.

Therefore, if we start the game with Leon, he would enter the police station through the main door, while if we start with Claire, when it's time to play Leon's section, we will enter the police station through a side passage.

In this sense, Jonathan, who has two options, actually has four possible scenarios since everything can change according to his choice.

But since there were no missions that made him explore every corner of the place, Jonathan decided to go directly to the back of the underground parking lot of the police station.

Jonathan knew that both Leon and Claire left from here in the end.

And as he had expected, just before reaching the garage, he saw an interesting scene.

A middle-aged man, somewhat large, kicked a girl with a red coat and a single ponytail.

Jonathan knew this man. He didn't exactly know how he encountered him, but he knew his name was Brian, who in the story portrayed himself as an arrogant and capricious character, but above all, as an eccentric sadist. Behind his role as the R.P.D. Chief, there hides an unscrupulous corrupt, capable of taking the life of anyone who doesn't fit into his plans.

At this moment, Brian was aiming a gun at Claire and shouted, "Sherry, come with me right now and get away from that bitch or say goodbye!"

"Fine, I can go with you, but on one condition!" Sherry looked directly at the man in front of her and said, "You have to take me to my mother."

"Of course!" Brian said with a crazed expression.

"Don't believe everything he says, he's just talking nonsense!" Claire, who had been tied up by Sherry, looked coldly at Brian.

Thud!

Annoyed by Claire's attitude, Brian punched her, causing her to fall backward to the ground.

Sherry, who saw him starting to beat Claire, immediately pleaded tearfully, "Don't hurt her anymore, please!"

"It's none of your damn business how I do things!" Old Brian scoffed, lifted Sherry, and walked towards the exit of the parking lot, dragging her.

"Stop! Let me go, please!"

"Shut your damn mouth!"

"Let go of me! Let me go!"

Sherry continued to struggle, but her arms were tightly held by the old man dragging her, so she couldn't free herself.

In the back, Claire, who was immobilized, was so anxious that she kept rubbing the rope tying her hands against a piece of glass she had found on the ground.

Seeing that they were about to take the girl away, Jonathan, who was hidden in the darkness, smiled coldly. He had made a decision, considering the advice of his friend Orlando, of course.

This man is somewhat important because in Claire's route, he has William Birkin's daughter, named Sherry. As for the girl in red behind, that was Claire.

Brian, who was on the opposite side, was about to take Sherry and leave the place, but at that moment, he saw a figure approaching very slowly at the other end of him. In an instant, that figure seemed to blink and almost appeared in front of him.

Brian raised his gun and said in a threatening tone, "I know your damn intention, so I suggest you mind your own business!"

"Are you telling me?" Jonathan asked feigning ignorance, paying no attention to Brian's gun.

How dare that man aim a gun at him after all that had happened?

Jonathan wasn't a ruthless man; in fact, he had forgiven some people who had threatened his life before. But now he couldn't distinguish the living from the undead, let alone old Brian, who had done terrible things. It wouldn't hurt to cut him into pieces or burn him to death with fire.

"You underestimate me, old fool..." Jonathan looked indifferently at the man in front of him and in a brief instant appeared at his left side. He lifted his right foot and kicked Brian's stomach with all his strength.

Crack!

Ribs, muscles, and arteries; many internal injuries must have appeared in Brian's stomach. He was sent flying backward violently, hitting his head against the hard ground.

Seeing Jonathan's sudden movement, Brian, who had been hit, suddenly felt numbness and then lost consciousness. His head had received a fatal wound from hitting the hard ground, and in one blow, he lay on the ground not knowing if he was alive or dead.

Claire had seen Jonathan very clearly as he walked beside her. She could see all those weapons on his body, and yet he moved at superhuman speed. He definitely wasn't human!

"Sherry! Are you okay?"

At this moment, Claire, who had freed herself, quickly approached Sherry and slowly moved away a few meters from Jonathan, who was calmly looking at Brian, as if leaving him in that state was not his responsibility.
