Evolution begins with Resident Evil

Chapter 68: Exploration of the Mansion



Chapter 69 Mansion Exploration

After talking about Wesker, the two came to the door of the mansion.

Luo Guang first introduced the situation here to Claire, saying: "This mansion was newly built after Alfred came to this Lotford Island. This island seems to be the territory of the Asiford family, so there is an ancient Asiford family castle on the high platform behind this mansion.

I haven't been to the mansion, so I am not familiar with many places, but I heard that there are many traps installed inside the mansion, so Claire, you should be careful not to touch anything here after you go in."

When Luo Guang was on the island, he had talked with Robert Duson, Alfred's secretary stationed here, several times, so he knew a lot about this place.

Claire nodded to show that she understood, but she thought of the Raccoon City Police Department and couldn't help wondering if those dignitaries like to install traps in various places to decrypt or something.

The door of the mansion was not locked. Luo Guang and the others walked in and saw a front desk. That was where the secretary handled daily affairs on the island and conveyed Alfred's orders during the day. As for the secretary at night, he would rest in his office and be ready to be dispatched by Alfred at any time.

For most of the Umbrella staff on the island, Alfred was rarely seen in the past. For them, Secretary Robert was more familiar, so some people secretly called the front desk here the command desk for everyone.

The white tile floor in the mansion was covered with a red carpet with gold edges, but the black and red bloodstains had eroded the luxury here.

There was a staircase on the right hand side of the door leading directly to the second floor. The hall was designed with hollows, connecting the upper and lower floors. There was an aisle after going up the stairs. There was a huge art painting on the wall. Everyone who entered the mansion would be attracted by the painting and look up.

The image of the person in the painting was exactly the same as the blonde woman Claire saw on the connecting bridge.

In addition to these, there are many soldiers here who were transferred by the secretary to guard the mansion. However, they didn't know what attacked them and fell to the ground, waiting for the next batch of victims to come in.

Luo Guang and Claire had just finished observing the situation in the hall of the mansion, and the soldier zombies awakened by the sound of the door closing stood up with a roar and walked towards Luo Guang and the others.

Luo Guang and Claire looked at each other, and the man on the left and the woman on the right, one on each side, solved the soldier zombies one by one.

There are still many weapons on the bodies or on the ground of these zombies, basically all models of M16 assault rifles.

But Luo Guang considered that he was now in the mansion, the combat distance was short, and the assault rifle did not seem to have a particularly big advantage over his shotgun, so he did not pick up the weapons on the ground.

However, Claire picked up an M16 rifle and took a relatively clean tactical vest from one of the soldier zombies to hold the M16 bullet magazine.

Seeing this, Luo Guang felt a little pity that the scar on Claire's chest could not be seen like this.

Then, when the two were about to walk to the door behind the desk on the first floor, a footstep sounded, and it sounded like it was above them.

The two were startled, facing the footsteps that they didn't know whether they were enemies or friends, they raised their weapons, leaned on the stone pillars, and aimed at the corridor on the second floor.

But the footsteps did not get closer, but gradually moved away, and disappeared completely with the sound of the door opening and closing.

"Let's go check it out first, it might be Steve." Claire said worriedly.

Luo Guang nodded, and went to the corridor on the second floor with Claire, but didn't see anyone else.

Claire, who was attracted by the huge painting, walked to the front of the painting, looked at the introduction below the painting, and said: "Alexia Ashford, the woman we saw before, she is also from the Ashford family, but Luo Guang, you said that the man we saw was Alfred's man."

"Keep looking down." Luo Guang didn't rush to explain, but asked Claire to continue looking.

"Died in 1983. Isn't that 15 years ago?" Claire was shocked. Only then did she truly believe that the "woman" she saw was actually a man.

Luo Guang knew that Alexia was not actually dead, but took a similar approach to Wesker, faking her death to escape from the surveillance of Umbrella Corporation and provide herself with enough time to integrate the T-Veronica virus.

However, Luo Guang did not intend to tell Claire or others about these things, because the information was very confidential and terrifying, and Luo Guang could not explain his source of information.

Just when Claire wanted to say something, a sharp female laugh sounded on the right.

Luo Guang immediately raised his gun and aimed, but still did not see anyone. There were other doors in his sight, but Luo Guang did not want to pass by at this time.

Luo Guang, who has watched countless horror movies, has grasped the essence of them. The most common one is to attract victims through sound, so Luo Guang said to Claire: "This should be a trap."

Claire nodded, and had the same hunch in her heart, and said: "When I was searching for the soldiers on the first floor just now, I also tried to open the door behind the office on the first floor, but it was locked."

"It's a small matter, let's go back to the first floor first." This is not a game, it's just a door, and most of the doors can be opened with a kick by Luo Guang.

After hearing Luo Guang's words, Claire thought that Luo Guang, as an employee of Umbrella Company, would have the key, so she said it was a trivial matter.

But what he didn't expect was that when Luo Guang came to the door on the first floor, he kicked the handmade door lock made of gold, silver and bronze on the expensive solid black walnut door and kicked it open. .

Luo Guang's movement immediately shocked Claire's jaw. He pointed at the computer on the desk and the card machine next to it, and said, "Can't we just use this to unlock it?"

Luo Guang looked back and saw the Umbrella Company's security system page displayed on the computer screen. He understood what Claire meant and said, "I have just been transferred here, and the intelligence level is one level higher than those of the guards. It's basically The security system cannot unlock all the doors."

However, Luo Guang's purpose is to minimize the traces he leaves behind.

"Who has it?"

"Alfred and his secretary." Luo Guang continued: "But I don't know where these two people have gone, so we can only do this. Let's leave quickly."

Claire nodded, followed Luo Guang, and entered the door behind the desk on the first floor.

Because he had only been to the lobby of the mansion, Luo Guang was not familiar with the mansion at this time. The fact that he could go to the port through here was only mentioned by his secretary while chatting with him.

The two walked around and came to a large living room. Seeing various ant-shaped artworks and gemstones, Luo Guang and Claire were about to leave. However, before they could leave, a projector in the large living room appeared. Suddenly it opened and illuminated the white wall.

Claire wanted to know what the projector projected, so she pulled Luo Guang to watch it together.

A warm song that came from nowhere appeared along with the screen of the projector. On the screen where a beautiful face appeared first, the beautiful girl lowered her head slightly and looked up at the camera. She seemed to have traveled through time and space, and Claire looked at each other.

Claire felt the pressure from the eyes of the person in the video and took a step back slightly.

Then, the scene changed, and a boy with the same blond hair and blue eyes appeared, with a face very similar to the girl before.

If Steve were here, he would recognize the boy as Alfred, having seen the grown-up Alfred.

The scene turned again, and the boy and the girl were sitting on a sofa, smiling, and each of them pulled out the wings of the struggling dragonfly in his hands.

Then the scene changed again. The boy and the girl were looking at each other and smiling, while the dragonfly was already lying on the ant nest, being torn apart by the ants, struggling feebly.

Then, the scene suddenly stopped, the projection turned off, and the background music disappeared.

Claire didn't know how to evaluate the content of the video at this time, and stamped her feet a little anxiously.

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave quickly." Luo Guang suggested.

Luo Guang had no reaction after reading it. He just felt that the content was similar to the plot of the game animation, but there were some differences. For example, Alfred did the whole process of tearing off the wings.

Claire nodded and left the room first.

The two continued to move forward, cleaning up many zombies and searching many rooms along the way. Alfred was not found, but the projector that suddenly played proved that Alfred, who was most familiar with the mansion, might be there. Hiding in the dark, watching the enemies entering his mansion.

"Help me!"

Suddenly, Steve's voice came from a room.

Luo Guang quickly kicked him away and walked into the room, but Steve was nowhere to be seen.

Claire also followed in, and immediately saw a strange console in the room, and Steve's figure was displayed on the screen next to it.

Luo Guang also noticed this and walked over. Steve's voice came from the speaker on the side of the screen.

On the screen, the picture was red and the red light was flashing, and Steve was banging on the door constantly, shouting for help.

There is a plaque on the console that reads, "My anger will only subside when opposites come together."

"What does this mean?" Claire said anxiously, worried about Steve's safety.

Luo Guang still remembered how to crack this mechanism in the game, so he stood in front of the console and after a few attempts, he confirmed which 6 buttons corresponded to the 6 small screens above the nameplate.

After confirming the corresponding buttons and the content displayed on the screen after pressing the buttons, Luo Guang pressed the two buttons that caused the screen to display a pistol pattern. The mechanism stopped, the door opened, and Steve successfully ran out of the next room.

Steve, who escaped, held two golden Gru P08s in his hands, held his knees, and gasped: "What bad luck."

Only then did Steve realize that it was Claire and Luo Guang who rescued him.

Then Steve looked at Luo Guang and the two and said, "What a coincidence. Thanks to you, I got these two guns. Thank you."

Steve was like a child who got his favorite toy, happily showing it off to Luo Guang and the others.

Claire didn't care about the boy's new toy. She cared about Steve and asked, "I went to look for you later and couldn't find you. Where did you go?"

"I just ran all the way, trying to escape from the monster." Steve didn't get the appreciation he wanted, and was a little disappointed, but the other person had just saved him, so he still responded to Claire's words honestly: "The monster didn't know then. I was attracted by something, and then I didn’t know when I came to the side entrance of the mansion.”

"Then you walked into this trap?" Luo Guang confirmed.

Steve scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I got lost after entering the mansion. Then I found these two golden legends in a room, so I took them down from the display room. As a result, I was locked in as soon as I took them down, and the temperature kept rising. I was almost dying of heat."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Forget it, Steve, I'm glad you're okay." Claire comforted her. She didn't find Steve before, and now she saw that he was safe and sound, and she finally put down her heart.

The three of them reunited and went around, but unexpectedly returned to the hall.

However, at this time, on the second floor, someone was holding a shotgun and aiming at Claire who was walking in the middle of the team.

"Be careful!" Steve, who was walking at the end of the team, saw the fatal red dot on the back of Claire's head, and rushed over without hesitation.

With a bang, the bullet of the shotgun flew past Steve's back.

Luo Guang also reacted immediately and took out his gun to shoot at the location where the gunshot sounded.

A shotgun shell hit the wall next to the enemy, and the enemy also shrank behind the wall because of Luo Guang's counterattack, and could not continue to shoot at the fallen enemy.

"Why did you come to disturb us?" Although the other party could not continue to shoot, he began to complain, and his tone was very strange, sounding crazy, and continued: "Are you the ones who spread those hateful viruses on my island?!"

Luo Guang's purpose of covering the two people who fell to the ground was achieved, and he chased after the other party with a gun.

"Luo!" Claire and Steve, who got up while Luo Guang was covering, quickly hid behind the stone pillar and wanted to stop Luo Guang who rushed over, but Luo Guang did not reply, but gestured to stay here.

After speaking, Luo Guang stepped on the stair railing and the protruding relief on the wall and climbed to the second floor.

Bang!

The enemy did not expect Luo Guang to go to the second floor in this way, and the hastily aimed and shot did not hit Luo Guang.

At this time, the two were very close, which made the other party panic. He turned around and ran away. He didn't want to fight with fools.

Luo Guang saw clearly that the person who shot coldly was Alfred Yasiford, and then Luo Guang immediately fired back, but did not hit Alfred.

Alfred Yasiford was not a fool. When he found that Luo Guang's shotgun bullets all hit the wall, he immediately understood that Luo Guang was deliberately letting him go, just like a hunter who was determined to win and playing with his prey.

But unfortunately, Alfred Yasiford was a little crazy at this time. In his opinion, Luo Guang's letting him go was an insult to him, an excellent hunter.

"Are you looking down on me, Alfred Yasiford?" Alfred turned his head while running and shouted at Luo Guang.

Hearing Alfred Yasiford's words, Luo Guang, who rushed into the secret passage with him, understood that the other party had misunderstood his meaning, but from the fact that Steve's shouting for help could be heard by himself outside the door, the sound insulation here was not good, so Luo Guang did not immediately explain his intention.

So Luo Guang followed him all the way into the mansion.

Meow, I overslept, so the update is late.
