chapter 54

Nice to meet you, my name is Chris Redfield and you're both doing well, a moment ago I almost saw you about to be zombie food.

He introduced himself as Chris, the person who had saved Paul. Although Chris had saved both boys, he still didn't trust them, he had lived in that place too long to trust any of the people there.

It was dark times Chris had been through but about a day ago he had left his letter in the shelter room, he was about to go and face the zombie queen, once he was sufficiently equipped, so he was getting bullets from his fallen comrades.

It was at that moment that upon hearing the zombies moaning, he decided to take a look around to see what was going on, which led Chris.

"Thank you for saving me "Paul thanked.

Paul was alert to the appearance of the person who had saved them, while he was also grateful to the man who had appeared, he really did not know what kind of person he was.

For if being in the mansion had driven any of his friends crazy, Paul didn't know what had become of the man in front of him, who Paul didn't know how long he had been in the mansion, whether longer than his group or less.

In the face of the silence...Chris was better, actually not trusting him made him feel more at ease, after all, people who always secretly want to hurt you, always act friendly with you, when you don't even know them at all.

But Paul and Madison being so careful with him made Chris feel that he wasn't in much danger, unlike the people he met earlier who tried to kill him without the slightest hesitation.

The decision to save Paul and Madison was not wrong now, Chris knew he had saved some good people...although who knew, they could be bad and that kept him from still having some guard up against Paul and Madison.

Chris was contradicting himself. But it was the truth to trust someone you feel is trustworthy is fine, since you can't distrust everyone, no matter what bad experiences you suffered, but that doesn't stop you from having some guard against all people, since you don't know what the future holds for a person and it's better for nothing bad to happen to you, to be safe than sorry.

"Don't worry...I'll leave if you don't have any trust in me...since I know what it feels like to not trust anyone...not to kid you, I really don't trust you at all, even if I know you're not bad people "Chris said as he offered his hand to Paul.

Whoever took it, after all, could not be rude to the person who had saved him from near death.

"Well it's time to go...apparently the friends of the zombie that almost ended your life are about to catch up with us "Chris commented as he pointed to the group of 9 zombies coming at high speed.

After Chris' words, Paul prepared to continue running but was stopped by Chris, who pulled a grenade from his pocket.

"Grenades are perfect weapons for taking out large groups of zombies, after all the narrow corridors mean that the explosion will take out large groups of 20 or more "commented Chris as he stood in front of Paul and Madison, before throwing a grenade that landed at the feet of the crimson head.

The blood and organs of the zombies exploded when the grenade exploded, you could see all over the hallway, various traces of blood and organs...a very grotesque scene, but one that Chris had really stopped being disgusted by a long time ago.

"Well it's time to burn all the zombies," Chris said to Paul and Madison's dismay.

They had suffered to fight with a crimson head, but the guy who had just appeared, finished with one, by shooting some bullets with an assault rifle in the head with extreme efficiency, the bullets were not wasted in each impact on the head of the zombie that left him dead easily.

"How long were you in this mansion? " asked Paul, who knew that such zombie-killing skills, knowing the zombies' weak points were not something that came so easily.

"The truth...I really don't know how long I'm here...I stopped counting time when I was over 5 months or at least I thought it was 5 months."

"Living alone for so long...how could you endure such an ordeal? " (Paul)

"Well I actually came with a group to explore the mansion...we were to investigate the strange disappearances that were occurring at the mansion, but we were nothing more than sacrifices" (Chris).

"We came to look for those responsible...but we ended up locked up here, as we died one by one over the course of time..." (Chris)

Paul was silent, while Chris explained what happened to him and his group, who even if they didn't mean to, he had saved them all, after all, they were trained policemen, the reason they should have died was sure because at that time there were more zombies and they would have finished off most of them, leaving little for them and that was the reason why they survived all the groups that went in for so long.

The question that now popped into Paul's head was, how was it that madison had survived so long since she said she had been in the mansion since all the scientists were locked in the mansion, which must have happened before Chris is locked in the mansion.

Paul had a lot of questions and he really thought about answering them once he was alone with Madison, there was something Madison was hiding from him that she hadn't told him.

There were many questions, which began to arise after Chris' appearance...like, how could she survive so long without food madison or why she really ended up being locked up.

"Well we should go after the zombie queen," Said Paul, as he saw if Chris would follow him to fight the zombie queen.

"Well it really is all or nothing"(Chris).

"Well come on then...I can't really part with you either" (Madison).

I accompanied them madison, but not before burning the bodies that were beginning to move from the pain, as they were being burned.

The smell of burning flesh, smelled again in the corridors when it was certain that those who smelled that smell would come.

The road became quieter as Paul, Madison, and Chris arrived at the dining room where the zombie queen was located.

On the way, Chris, told them all about the zombie queen, how she always camouflages herself and attacks when someone's guard is down.

After Chris told madison and Paul all about the zombie queen, they both checked to see if the dining room still had the sprinklers, they wanted the least amount of fire to start the water falling into the dining room, so they could spot the zombie queen, to shoot them.

"Well let the real hunt for the zombie queen begin," said Paul.

N/A: Well I decided to put Chris, but not lion, since it will not really contribute anything to the series of vile resident, after all, there are already the protagonists for that, the reason why this Chris is first so that Claire appears and the second reason is that Chris is who was in charge of controlling umbrella in the course of the years in the game and is an important character.
