“Ah-! Ahh-!”
Even the veteran mercenaries of the Golden Sunlight Mercenary Group, which was claimed to be the most ferocious mercenary group, leaped up in fear. Without thinking, others were in even worse states.
Even the female players were scared when they entered the bar as Claire, the main character, and saw the zombie, which looked similar to the first generation, eating a corpse.
“What’s this mystical realm?!”
“This mystical realm is not for cultivation; it’s used to scare people!”
The mercenaries complained loudly.
After all, they had fought countless battles. If they were given a bit of their cultivation strength, they would be killing machines in the game.
The mages shared this thought. If we can cast a spiritual spell in the game, even a small fireball will work!
However, they couldn’t use any of their strength. The mercenaries yelled, “It’s despicable to increase the difficulty by suppressing our strength!”
“Besides, the monsters in there can’t be killed!” Crete yelled, “After I shattered its chest with Land Shatter (the combat technique that he used to kick the zombie), it didn’t die! It could still bite people as if nothing happened! How can such monsters exist in the world?!”
Different from Resident Evil 1, almost no one survived in the entire city in Resident Evil 2; the zombies were everywhere. In Resident Evil 1, the players would only encounter one zombie at the beginning.
“I dare to bet that no one can last more than one minute with these monsters!” Crete said as his face turned red in agitation.
While he said that, he heard an exclamation, “Wow! Is this a magical firearm? Awesome!”
The mercenaries looked back and saw the young people who had put down their virtual reality headsets in fear now gather around the girl named Cia. She controlled Claire who was holding an object that looked like a magical firearm.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Then, she quickly ran out.
“...” The mercenaries exchanged a look and wondered, This mystical realm can be like this?
Confident in their own strengths, the mercenaries naturally had a hard time accepting the skills and knowledge in the game. Instead, they tried to kill zombies with their own combat techniques.
Claire, the heroine, was soon rescued by Leon who fired at the zombies with a gun, and it was natural for her to notice this weapon.
After all, this series of games had always been nice to heroines.
Although there were many zombies, and the process was extremely dangerous thrilling, she still managed to flee from the zombies as she screamed.
Different from the original version, the system version had more than those set routes. The players could enter all the shops and houses in the small town to search for supplies.
If they could dodge the zombies that were everywhere, they might find weapons and monsters that the original version didn’t have.
Although the ammunition was limited, they could use sabers, daggers, and other weapons that they picked up from the ground.
After escaping from the siege of the zombies, these people explored the small town with pistols in their hands. Although the atmosphere was tense and suppressing, the players felt a pleasure after escaping from death. The thrilling sensation rushed out of their minds after experiencing the life-and-death situation.
“Oh! This is so cool!”
“Excellent!”
Despite the dangers around them, they had the urge and the impulse to keep exploring, trying to find out what had happened to this world, why the people had turned into monsters, and if there were more of such magical firearms.
“We can play it like this...?”
Mercenary Crete who had swore that no one could last more one minute was frustrated, and his face turned dark.
He turned his head and saw the female mage getting into the zone and enjoying herself.
She was busy shooting zombies with her small pistol.
“Let’s try it too!”
“I remember that I have such a magical firearm too!”
If they broke out from the siege, they could use their physical strength as warriors to fight the lone zombies. Their combat strengths weren’t low, and they could use melee weapons.
At this moment, the health condition of Claire who was under the control of that the female mage deteriorated.
She found that somehow a claw scratch appeared on her arm. This wound had blackened, and something was wriggling in the wound; it was a terrifying scene.
“No! The monster’s claws contain poison!”
Gradually, everything before her turned bloody red, and she somehow felt a strange urge to eat. Soon, the female mage was forced to exit from the virtual reality mode.
Meanwhile, Claire had turned into a pale-faced zombie, lunging toward the screen viciously!
“Ahh-!” Her hands shivered, and she was so frightened that she almost wetted her pants!
A moment ago, this female mage was still Claire.
She seemed to see herself in the other world turning into a ghost-like creature.
“That’s how these creatures came into being?”
“If I get scratched by them, I’ll turn into this type of creatures?!”
Seeing Zombie Claire loitering aimlessly on the street, the mercenaries including Crete felt chills run down their spines.
In the original game, the players could be healed by eating the green herbs, but now...
In the new version, any medicine could only heal wounds. If the players contracted the virus, they must find blood serum before they got turned into zombies. Otherwise, one scratch would turn them into zombies.
Obviously, this new version was more difficult to play.
Experiencing this situation in person, the mages and mercenaries on this new continent began to realize these creatures’ terrifying features bit by bit.
One light scratch could turn people into monsters just like them. This realization shocked the players like the continuous waves of the ocean.
The players’ hearts were in their throats whenever they fought with these monsters.
Even if they remained intact through the battle, they were still worried that their companions might have been scratched by a zombie, and they would be bitten by their zombified companions while they were not looking.
The players didn’t even know when a zombie would appear since they were everywhere in the city!
If this were real life, some faint-hearted people would collapse under this pressure.
However, since it was a game, this dark and creepy world stimulated the people’s desire to explore.
Without thinking, the female mage started the game again and re-entered this strange world.
Rolling up his sleeves, the mercenary Crete quickly entered the game again.
In the virtual reality mode, Resident Evil 2 was much more difficult than Resident Evil 1.
Therefore, the main characters who were only ordinary people faced even greater pressure compared to the previous game.
For example, Leon came to the police station to report to duty, so he quickly entered the building to investigate. This was the same beginning for all male players.
However, when Crete controlled Leon to explore the police station with great care, he suddenly heard a yell of alarm.
He saw a bald man wearing a green military coat standing before him like a huge iron tower— a Tyrant!
On the other side, Cia and the female mage who were playing as Claire shrieked as well!
The ceiling broke open, revealing a disgusting monster whose brains were exposed—Licker!
Yes. The bosses in the movie and game of Resident Evil 1 showed up soon after the beginning of Resident Evil 2!
