Chapter 72: Steve's Growth



Chapter 73 The Growing Steve

While Luo Guang was researching the anti-B.O.W linear particle impact cannon, Claire and Steve on the island were still trying to survive.

A few hours ago, seeing Luo Guang running to chase Alfred Ashford, Claire and Steve hurried to chase him, but in the end they were still a step too late, and the door to the secret passage closed automatically.

"Shit!" Steve almost rushed into the secret passage, but the secret door moved sideways and closed directly. Steve couldn't stop his feet and bumped into it, and couldn't help cursing.

Seeing this, Claire came to Steve, lifted his bangs, raised her head slightly, checked carefully for a while, and said: "It's okay, it doesn't look like there's any skin broken, just a little bruise."

The two were very close, which made Steve, the innocent little boy, a little at a loss, and he didn't pay attention to what Claire said.

After Claire moved away from him a little, Steve embarrassedly turned his face aside, looked at the secret passage door, and asked: "What should we do now... Claire?"

Steve paused slightly before calling Claire's name.

However, Claire did not notice that Steve was a little strange. She took out the walkie-talkie and tried to contact Luo Guang, but there was no response. She didn't know whether the radio signal could not be received in the secret passage.

Unable to contact Luo Guang, who was familiar with Lotford Island, Claire could only think seriously about what to do next. She said, "Although I don't know why Luo Guang chose to chase him alone, I think he must have his reasons. It's just that the situation was urgent at the time, so he didn't say it. Let's not wait here blindly, and continue to explore this ghost place to find a way to escape."

Perhaps he had an inexplicable hostility towards the other men who appeared around Claire. Steve, who was saved by Luo Guang, said, "But there is no reason for him not to respond to our radio call? And Luo Guang's shooting skills are not bad. He saved me from the zombie dog's mouth with one shot before, but you see that the shotgun he just shot to cover us, the bullets all hit the wall."

Steve actually disliked Luo Guang a little and didn't trust him. He always felt that Luo Guang was hiding a lot of secrets and spoke half-truthfully. But Luo Guang had saved him after all, and Claire seemed to trust him very much, so he didn't show it.

Claire was thinking about whether to tell Steve about Luo Guang, but in the end, Claire decided not to tell Steve for the time being. After all, if she did this without discussing it with Luo Guang, it would be like betraying Luo Guang's trust.

So after thinking about it, Claire persuaded: "Maybe Luo Guang is busy chasing the enemy so it is inconvenient to respond to us, or maybe this secret passage can block the radio signal?

Steve, I ran to find you who was chased by the monster before, and Luo Guang was alone at that time.

If he really colluded with Alfred or others secretly, wouldn't Luo Guang just go to them at that time?

And when you saved me just now, we all fell to the ground. At that time, he could have solved us directly with a shotgun. Was it necessary to do so many tricks? Or is there any value in us that is worth Luo Guang's acting for so long?"

"That's right..." Although Steve was still unconvinced, he had to admit that Claire's analysis was correct one by one. After all, although Luo seemed to be hiding some secrets, he didn't do anything bad along the way.

Claire was relieved to see that the other party had figured it out. It was the best of both worlds to convince Steve without revealing Luo Guang's true identity.

After talking about Luo Guang, the two could only continue to explore the mansion and find a way to the port through the mansion.

However, Claire missed one thing at this time, that is, Wesker was still on Rothford Island.

Not long after Claire and Steve set out to explore, Wesker controlled the mechanism and led the two into the research institute under the mansion, and then sat in front of the monitoring table to watch the Hunter II airdropped by his organization attack Claire and the others.

In fact, before Claire went to the prison management room, someone had already been there, and that was Wesker.

Wesker's previous Umbrella ID card had been cancelled, so he logged into the Umbrella system on the computer through the ID card of the deputy captain of the prison guard and checked the information inside.

Starting from the latest information, Wesker saw at a glance that Claire had been captured and sent to this island.

In fact, Claire was sent to Lotford Island because the organization behind Wesker had put Claire on the list of people who needed to be transported to the island. This time, the intelligence check confirmed that Claire had been transported to the island before he launched the attack.

It was also Wesker's selfish desire. He wanted to use Claire to hook Chris out here.

Thinking of this, Wesker retrieved Chris's information and wanted to send an anonymous email to Chris, but was interrupted by the organization's emergency contact.

After finishing his work and going back to send an email, Wesker found that the computer had been touched by someone, and found the record of sending emails in the mailbox, so he knew that Claire had been here and sent a letter for help to her friends.

Looking at Claire and the two people surrounded by hunters in the surveillance, Wesker imagined Chris's angry expression when he saw his sister's body, and smiled.

Claire and Steve, who were blocked in the corridor of the institute by the Hunter II, stood back to back, each holding the strongest weapon in their hands and started shooting.

After completing the encirclement, the earth-green Hunter IIs immediately charged in the direction of the two, and were knocked down one by one by the bullets of the two without surprise.

The intelligence of the Hunters allowed them to know how to block the enemy in the corridor, but they could not let them understand that this narrow corridor also limited their advantage of agility.

This distance of less than 20 meters became an insurmountable chasm for these Hunters.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and the shotgun in Steve's hand also completed its mission. All the 12-gauge shotgun shells given by Luo Guang were used up.

Suddenly, some sounds came from the ceiling vent a few meters in front of Steve. Then a smaller Hunter II fell from the vent, without any pause, and rushed straight to Steve in front of him.

Steve was startled, stepped back, and leaned on Claire's back.

Claire, who had just dealt with the hunter in front of him and was changing the magazine of her M16 assault rifle, heard the sound and quickly threw down the gun and magazine. She turned around and pushed Steve away with one hand, and picked up the Calico M-100P pistol on her waist with the other hand, and pulled the trigger at the hunter who rushed over.

Da Da Da——

The storm of bullets instantly submerged the hunter at close range. Although it was only 0.22LR pistol bullets, the quantity was large enough to stop the hunter's momentum directly.

Steve, who was pushed aside by Claire, finally reacted, took out his golden double guns, and emptied the magazine at the hunter.

The sneak attacking hunter fell to the ground with a bang, but the two did not relax immediately, and fled directly into a room.

"Hoo, hoo" Steve panted heavily and relaxed a little. He wanted to change the bullets for his pistol, but found that his hands were shaking and he couldn't successfully put the magazine into the gun grip.

Unlike the previous attack by the zombie dog, this time no one interrupted Steve's fear of death, which made Steve feel scared after the adrenaline subsided.

On the other side, Claire, who picked up the M16 assault rifle and the magazine, changed the bullets. Seeing this, she walked over, held Steve's trembling hands, and helped him finish loading the bullets.

"Claire?" Steve was startled by Claire's action, pulled his hand out, and jumped away quickly.

Claire thought that it was her sudden action that scared Steve, who was still in a state of shock, and asked: "Are you feeling better?

"No, it's okay. "Steve said in a panic.

Seeing this, Claire didn't say much, she was worried that excessive concern would stimulate the other party's self-esteem.

After a short rest, the two continued to set off, and this time, watching the surveillance Wesker through the door, leading a long-handed monster to Claire and the others.

Then, Wesker took the data storage device used to move data from the computer and prepared to set off for the Antarctic base whose coordinates had been discovered.

But before that, Wesker looked back at the figures of Chris and Jill who appeared in the surveillance, and then left the monitoring room.

Just as Wesker planned, Claire and Steve met the long-handed monster in a place with a freight elevator. Hand monster.

A rolling door suddenly opened without warning, and a long-handed monster nearly two people tall walked out from inside, stretched out its arms to hook the wall, and flashed in front of Claire, and directly grabbed Claire's head with its huge right arm.

Claire failed to dodge the opponent's attack and was directly grabbed by the head. In a hurry, Claire, whose eyes were blocked by the palm of the hand, didn't care so much, and directly took the M16 assault rifle and kept pulling the trigger at the position of the long-handed monster in his memory.

Da da da da da da -, although there is only a three-shot mode, Claire gave people the feeling of firing in full automatic mode, and in a few seconds, he directly emptied the last 5.56mm bullet magazine. .

The long-armed monster felt pain and instinctively let go of Claire.

Claire, who fell to the ground, didn't care how painful her hips were now. She picked up the Calico M-100P pistol with both hands and shot at the monster in front of her.

At this time, Steve also reacted. Claire in front of him was put down by the other party, and he could finally shoot back.

After all, the long-armed monster didn't have a bulletproof straitjacket, and it was a degraded version. His self-repair ability was not as strong as other tyrant-type biochemical weapons. He was beaten back by the joint attack of Claire and Steve.

With a click, the bullets of the Calico M-100P pistol in Claire's right hand were used up, and the long-armed monster was accompanied by With a wail, he fell to the ground.

Claire touched her head and felt a little pain, but there were no other symptoms. She couldn't help but feel lucky that she had just shot the monster in time to let her go.

After dealing with the long-armed monster, Claire pulled Steve away quickly. She was worried that this monster, which was somewhat similar to the tyrant, would also be resurrected and mutated to be more powerful.

After escaping from the freight elevator, the two followed the instructions of the emergency escape device and walked forward. When they passed a corridor, the floor under their feet suddenly collapsed and fell to the lower floor.

Claire wanted to get up, but found that her legs were pressed down and she couldn't move for a while. On the other side, Steve was very lucky. He fell far away and was not hit by the falling floor.

Standing up, Steve was about to go up to rescue when he heard the howling of a zombie from the other side.

Claire also saw the zombie, but she had thrown away her M16 assault rifle because she had no bullets, and the Calico M-100P pistol on her waist was lost during the fall, so Claire could only pick up the Beretta M93R pistol to aim and shoot.

However, just as Claire was about to raise her gun to shoot, Steve suddenly blocked in front of Claire.

"What are you doing?" Claire had a weapon in her hand, so she couldn't understand why the other party blocked her gun.

Steve didn't speak, and his hands holding the weapon were shaking slightly.

"Steve!"

No matter how Claire called him, Steve was indifferent, just staring at the zombie in front of him.

The zombies were approaching slowly, and Steve was also slowly backing away, with a complicated expression on his face, saying, "Father"

"What?" Claire finally understood why Steve had such a reaction, but the zombie was only a few meters away from Steve.

Bang! Clang——

It was Claire who fired the gun, which directly hit the road roller beside him.

Steve, who was a little stunned, was awakened. As if he wanted to get courage from Claire, he looked back at Claire, and then fired several shots to deal with the zombies that had already pounced in front of him.

Steve looked at the fallen zombie, turned his head, held back his tears, and helped Claire move the floorboard that was pressing on his legs.

"Steve, thank you for saving me." Claire sat on the ground and did not stand up rashly. She knew how difficult it was to shoot her relatives.

Steve, who rescued Claire, also sat on the ground, turned his head, hiding his current expression, and then seemed to want to release his emotions. Steve slowly told his experience.

It turns out that the burden Steve mentioned in the prison management room before was his father. As a small employee of Umbrella, his father was arrested by Umbrella for betraying the company's information, and Steve's mother was brutally killed during the arrest.

Claire felt sympathy when she learned about Steve's tragic experience. When she was about to comfort Steve, Steve suddenly stood up, found a piece of linen, and covered his father.

Claire found that the boy in front of her had grown up when he stood up.

Steve gently stroked his father's body. At this time, he finally untied the knot that had been buried in his heart. Then he wiped his tears and turned to Claire, who had checked her feet and was standing up carefully, and said: "I should thank you, Claire."

Claire tilted her head. She didn't know why Steve thanked her.

Seeing Claire, who had always been heroic, rarely showed her lovely side, Steve smiled and secretly vowed to protect Claire and take her out of this hell.

Why are there so many new jobs appearing near the holiday meow! More, go to eat meow!
