Raccoon City was actually a good place to live, with beautiful scenery, fresh air, and no heavy industry.
Of course, the premise was that you could accept it had suffered the most severe Resident Evil incident in history.
And in fact, many people didn't care about this. In America, many even believed Resident Evil didn't exist, but was a conspiracy by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a means to control the people.
At least, that's what the Rising Tide's conspiracy theories claimed.
That's right, it was the hacker organization Skye was initially part of, but under the FBI's crackdown, hackers in Rising Tide without criminal records were recruited by the Bureau, while those who used their hacking skills for illicit gains ended up in prison as they deserved.
Today's Rising Tide is just a conspiracy theory marketing account.
Of course, these were not the main reasons.
The most important reasons were… low land prices, housing prices, and commodity prices.
These were all preferential policies from the American Government for Raccoon City, and with them, they gained enough reputation and votes from the relatives of the Raccoon City victims back then.
Under these circumstances, although Raccoon City had not truly recovered to its former level of over one hundred thousand residents, there were still forty to fifty thousand people.
And what was originally a peaceful city, now at night…
It completely changed.
Craving family, craving love.
Originally rational humans all transformed into Beasts obeying their desires at night.
Young men and women bit each other, flesh and blood flying, not even noticing if they bit off the other's tongue.
It didn't matter, the next day they would all return to normal.
Bereaved couples tied strong young men into their homes, then made them a good meal, ingredients unknown but exceptionally fresh.
It didn't matter, the next day they would all return to normal.
Everyone was sinking into such a hell, unaware, letting their desires expand without limit.
It didn't matter, the next day they would return to normal.
Except for the purple ripples in their eyes.
On a street on the outskirts of Raccoon City, a portal suddenly opened.
Dante led all the standby team members into Raccoon City.
"I'll emphasize the key point of this mission again. Everything is focused on finding those reckless intruders and ensuring their safety. Conventional lethal force is allowed against the infected… So Harley, there's a reason I didn't let you bring those light pulse blast guns and individual thermal ray rifles from the Airbus."
"Light pulse blast guns? Thermal ray rifles?" Coulson looked at Dante in confusion. "Aren't these all experimental products from Sandbox? Where did you get them?"
"Dante, are we good brothers?"
"If you, this balding middle-aged man, are comfortable calling me, a twenty-five-year-old young man, brother, then I have no problem."
"After we go back, give me some of these weapons. With your team's configuration, these are completely useless. They're not worth it for minor things, and useless for major ones."
"Your abacus beads are almost bouncing off my face! But when have you ever seen me spit out something I've eaten? Even Thor's father, Odin, can't do that!" Dante smiled confidently. "But we can ask Fury for another batch."
After the two team leaders decided on a cooperation plan to scam Fury, they finally got back on track.
Although it was night, the bright streetlights allowed everything to be seen clearly.
Not far away, a military jeep was burning fiercely.
As expected, when Dante and Coulson approached, they found that it was one of the two jeeps that had broken through the blockade and entered Raccoon City.
Dante's mouth twitched.
He was one hundred percent sure this was definitely the one Leon S. Kennedy was riding in!
Damn it! This Vehicle Killer trait is really effective!
Damn it, after this mission is completed, if I draw a reward, I hope I don't draw something similar!
Thinking of this, Dante couldn't help but feel conflicted.
These people, they're both jinxing teammates and jinxing vehicles, is there no end to it?
"This jeep should be the trespassing vehicle, right?"
"That's right, Coulson, but the other jeep wasn't found." Ada walked around the jeep twice, then said, "This is a jeep, not a troop carrier. It's too cramped for seven or eight people, especially since they brought a lot of weapons and equipment… So they most likely split up."
"You mean, one team infiltrated on foot from the outskirts, and the other went directly into the city center?"
"Based on my understanding of Leon S. Kennedy and Claire, they would do that."
Dante listened to Ada's analysis from the side, and that "split up" face kept inexplicably appearing in his mind.
Especially the look in Ada's eyes when she mentioned them, Dante saw it very clearly.
It was "interesting."
"Uh, Ada, what happened between you and Leon S. Kennedy and Claire back then?"
"Oh, Dante, are you jealous?"
"Don't be silly, I'm not an idiot. That was clearly the look a little girl gets when she talks about an interesting toy she used to play with!"
…
"Stepping onto the land of Raccoon City after seven years, I can't help but think of that female devil who played with people's hearts!"
Leon said so.
In the underground sewers of Raccoon City, Leon, Claire, and Sherry Birkin were all dressed in military combat uniforms, fully equipped with long and short weapons and ammunition, moving forward with their tactical flashlights.
Their speed was not slow, but they tried to suppress their footsteps as much as possible.
Although they didn't know if there would be danger in the underground sewers, it was always right to be careful.
And when Claire heard what Leon said, her thoughts couldn't help but drift back seven years ago…
Then a chill ran down her spine.
"That's right, Ada Wong, I can never forget her in my life!"
Although Sherry had experienced the Raccoon City incident with them seven years ago, at that time she was only twelve years old, and most of the time she was imprisoned by that perverted Police Chief.
So she didn't understand what happened between them and the "female devil" they spoke of.
But the name Ada Wong, she was very familiar with it.
That was the adjutant of the FBI's Star Team!
She was the idol of countless female Agents!
She was no exception, of course.
But her idol, in the mouths of Leon and Claire, who were like both parents and older siblings to her, was actually a female devil?
And judging by their tone, it was definitely not a compliment!
Just as she was about to speak up for her idol, Leon, who was leading the way, suddenly showed a tactical hand signal to stop.
"Ahead… there's something."
