Chapter 176: Legend of Silent Hill
Chapter 176: Legend of Silent Hill
After quickly searching the mall for some food, the five of them carried their bags all the way to the top of the building.
Bang!
"do not move!"
As the door to the rooftop of the building was pushed open, Yang Ren, the first person to walk out of the rooftop, immediately heard a female warning.
Only then did they realize that there was already a group of people hiding on the rooftop.
A female police officer wearing a floating island patrol uniform was holding a Glock 19 and standing in front of several survivors, pointing her gun at him.
After careful counting, there are 6 people in total.
Including Yang Ren and his group who had just arrived on the rooftop, there were 11 people on the rooftop at this time.
And there seemed to be a female survivor among the six people who was injured. She was sitting against the wall and was being taken care of by another man who looked like her husband.
"Sorry... I thought it was those monsters again."
Seeing that the person coming was a human, the misunderstanding was resolved and the policewoman put down her gun.
After distributing the food to everyone on the rooftop, Yang Ren went straight to the injured couple, and the young nurse who had rescued them below also followed.
The wound was on the waist and abdomen, and had been bandaged and treated simply.
But judging from the bandage that was completely stained with blood, the injury was not light.
"Can I check the wound?"
Perhaps out of professional instinct, the young nurse gently removed the bandage after obtaining the couple's consent.
Three horrifying claw marks appeared immediately, and it could almost be said that if they were any deeper, they would have ripped the belly open. The huge wounds made the young nurse frown.
"Deep scratch wounds, if not treated properly, are likely to become infected... or even fatal."
"But this is not a hospital, there are no medicines..."
After examining the wound, the young nurse came to a conclusion with some frustration.
Hearing this, the woman, who was already groaning in her husband's arms because of the severe pain, seemed even sadder.
She hugged his head and cried without reservation.
"James, honey... I'm so scared..."
"—don't worry Mary...it'll be fine..."
Looking at the touching scene in front of him, Yang Ren couldn't help himself and took out the bottle of first aid spray from his backpack.
"This is... a powerful first aid spray produced by TerraGroup?!"
"This stuff is so expensive... I remember this small bottle costs several hundred dollars..."
The young nurse recognized the first aid spray in Yang Ren's hand at a glance and exclaimed.
Yang Ren came to "Mary" and squatted down, spraying first aid spray at the wound.
These were obviously wounds caused by hunters, and it was a blessing in disguise that they were able to escape from the hunter's claws.
The cool feeling from her waist and abdomen made "Mary" let out a comfortable "hiss", and the wound quickly scabbed over, and she didn't even need to be bandaged.
"This is just a preliminary treatment. Those monsters are likely to carry deadly biological viruses. Remember to go to the anti-biological organization TerraSave for further inspection afterwards."
After treating the wound, Yang Ren also reminded the couple, and the latter nodded to show their obedience.
After all, according to previous discoveries, these BOWs on the floating island are likely to be infected with some new virus.
The Hunter series are carefully formulated biological weapons. They do not carry viruses everywhere on their bodies, and scratches do not necessarily mean 100% infection.
However, if the patient is infected with an unknown new virus, even if a small amount of virus-inhibiting ingredients are added to this first aid spray, it may not be able to completely eradicate the virus.
As soon as Yang Ren put the first aid spray back into his backpack, the nurse next to him came up to him and thanked him:
"Um...thank you for helping me down there."
"My name is Lisa Garland."
When he heard this name, combined with her appearance and attire, Yang Ren was obviously stunned.
With an obvious "pig brain overload" look on his face, he turned his head and looked at the couple who were hugging each other to comfort each other.
Lisa, James, Mary...
"Excuse me, what are your names?"
Hearing Yang Ren's question, the couple was stunned at first, and then they also said their names:
"James Sunderland."
"Mary Sheppard Sunderland."
The dead memories suddenly began to attack Yang Ren's brain. This is... The Legend of Silent Hill!
What's going on in this world?
Why are the characters from Silent Hill here?
"Um…you're welcome, Nicholas Redfield."
After thinking about the tactics for a while, Yang Ren still couldn't come to a conclusion, so he responded to Lisa's thanks first.
"You are Nicholas Redfield? The leader of TerraSave?"
Yang Ren was about to turn around and return to Claire, but was stopped by another survivor on the rooftop.
"It's me, what's wrong?" He responded with a raised eyebrow.
This survivor has a classic European and American face, with a short beard and a buzz cut, the kind that you can't even find in a crowd.
"My name is Neil Fisher, and this is my work ID..."
He took out his work ID and showed it to Yang Ren, then continued:
"I'm a staff member of the Federal Bioterrorism Committee (FBC). I have reported everything that happened on the floating island to Chairman Morgan. I believe they will send someone to deal with it soon."
“I am also a nominal member of TerraSave’s civil department, and today I am also fortunate to meet the legendary founder of TerraSave!”
The flattery made Yang Ren feel uncomfortable all over, as if "wherever I, the founder of TerraSave, go, biological and chemical incidents will occur."
Yang Ren didn’t have any impression of Neil. He simply replied “I know” and ignored him.
……
12 hours after the floating island virus outbreak.
After a brief exchange, Yang Ren got to know everyone on the rooftop.
Lisa Garland, a nurse working at Terra Grigia General Hospital.
Sybil Bennett, a policewoman working at the Terra Grigia Police Station.
The couple who came to the floating island for tourism were James and Mary, and the other two were father and daughter Harry Mason and Cheryl Mason, the father took a leave of absence to bring his daughter out to play.
But these six people, without exception, are characters from "Silent Hill". Yang Ren racked his brains but couldn't figure out why they were here.
Maybe it is as absurd as my own appearance in this world.
It was already late at night. Yang Ren and Claire stood on the rooftop, staring at the scene on the street below in a daze.
This commercial building is located two-thirds of the way from the center of the floating island to the coast. From the rooftop, you can directly see the central building in the city center and the purgatory-like scene on the seaside.
A large number of broken limbs and corpses were scattered on the beach, and even the sea water near the shore was dyed blood red, reflecting a strange red light under the moonlight.
There are still a large number of hunters and people infected with unknown viruses wandering the streets below, gnawing on the corpses of those who have long passed away.
In the dark night, the howling of the hunters was particularly creepy.
"I can't believe that the tragedy in Raccoon City would happen a second time..."
“This is too unreal…”
As she spoke, Claire raised her head and looked up at the starry sky, her eyes melancholy and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Yes... In the daytime, this place still symbolizes the prosperity of human civilization. The scene of vigorous vitality and the flourishing of all things is still before our eyes."
"In just a few hours, this place has turned into a burial place for all the people on the floating island..."
Following Claire's gaze, Yang Ren also raised his head, and the two of them looked at the stars together.
Among the white dots of starlight in the sky, there seems to be a "star" that appears particularly bright and huge.
That should be the solar satellite array used to power the floating island - "Regia Solis".
"I just feel sorry for the people on the floating island... they are all innocent..."
Claire sighed and Yang Ren patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"No matter what, the FBC and our rapid reaction force will intervene soon, and the EU should also respond. I believe Terra Grigia will be recovered soon."
"At least... it won't be destroyed by a nuclear bomb like Raccoon City was."
What Yang Ren said was not without reason. The island was swarming with hunters. With the intervention of powerful military forces, it was only a matter of time before it was recaptured.
Looking at the time, it's already past 1 a.m.
"Go get some sleep. I'll keep watch. They should be here by noon tomorrow at the latest."
"——Um…Okay."
When we returned from the edge of the rooftop, everyone else was basically asleep.
Everyone was very tired after running around during the day. Aisha and Yak sat together and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Also affected by the thermal regulation of the ocean, the temperature is still above 25 degrees even at night, so you won't catch a cold even if you sleep outdoors.
Yang Ren and Claire also came and sat down beside the two of them. After kissing each other, Claire hugged one of Yang Ren's arms, rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep peacefully.
Amid the howling of hunters all over the city, there were occasional human screams, indicating that another survivor's hiding place had been found.
Every scream would make Claire hold Yang Ren tighter, and finally she simply laid down in his arms, with her ears gently covered by Yang Ren's palms.
Not long after, Claire began to snoring in her sleep, just like a clingy little kitten.
And just a few minutes after she fell asleep, Aisha, whose head was already a little shaky, "hit" directly on Yang Ren's other shoulder.
Yang Ren, who was listening to the Hunter Symphony, shuddered all over. After he reacted, he sighed deeply.
During the day, Elsa also met with him privately and said something like "she understood the relationship between him and Claire" and "she felt sorry for what happened before".
I didn't want Aisha to be involved in the biochemical incident now or in the future, but it seems... there is no way to avoid it.
I hope she can really change after this incident.
Thinking of this, Yang Ren gently pushed away the sleeping Aisha, and straightened her head, leaning it on Yak's shoulder.
Yang Ren continued to look at the stars and the moon, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
