Time: September 29, 2 a.m.

Location: Suburban Raccoon City, gas station

The rustling sound of rain surrounded my ears, but it could not cover up the low roar coming from all around.

The ferocious and terrifying faces, the weird gestures of baring teeth and claws, and the blood-seeking eyes—these were his initial impressions of these monsters.

When he looked at the monsters coming from all directions, Leon Kennedy looked around and saw a police car parked not far away, his eyes couldn't help but light up:

"boarding!"

At his call, a girl standing aside, wearing a red jacket and a ponytail, immediately ran towards the police car!

The two men pushed aside the monster blocking the road and got into the police car with the door wide open.

Leon twisted the car key, started the engine, and sat in the driver's seat, never forgetting to remind the strangers around him:

"Sit tight!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he put the car into gear, backed up, made a perfect side turn, and drove out of the gas station.

Then, he turned the car around, faced downtown Raccoon City, and stepped on the accelerator!

With a "boom", the police car sped out like an unsheathed arrow...

With the help of the rearview mirror, Leon Kennedy, who was watching the gas station behind him gradually go away, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, breathed a sigh of relief:

"I think we're safe...for now..."

Glancing at the girl in red sitting in the passenger seat, Leon suddenly felt an unreal feeling.

He suddenly felt that if someone told him that he would be in big trouble on the first day at work, he would not believe it.

However, the development of things forced him to accept this cruel reality.

All of this starts from the moment he arrives at the gas station outside Raccoon City and prepares to refuel...

...

Ten minutes ago...

A gray jeep drove into a gas station outside Raccoon City.

The car stopped next to the gas station, the door opened, and out stepped a tall and handsome blond man with a middle-parted hairstyle.

This man's name is Leon Kennedy, and he is a rookie police officer who was supposed to be transferred to Raccoon City on September 22.

However, before he could set out, the Raccoon City Police Department called him, informing him not to come to work yet and to wait for further notification.

After receiving the notice, Leon felt a little strange, but he still readily accepted the order from his superiors.

After waiting for almost a week, he felt that waiting for news at home was too torturous and boring.

So, he packed his luggage and drove to Raccoon City in person.

In order to save some travel expenses and avoid traffic jams, he chose to travel at night.

When he arrived in Raccoon City, it was already early in the morning.

Leon, who originally wanted to find a hotel and sleep first, found that his car was out of gas, so he went to a gas station.

However, what he never expected was that in the convenience store of the gas station, he actually saw a terrifying scene that he had never seen since he was a child:

A pale "person" was biting another person's neck, eating pieces of flesh and blood into his mouth!

Moreover, such a "person" seems to have no sense of pain. A bullet hitting the body will not cause it pain at all, but will make it even crazier.

Only by shooting it in the head can you kill it completely!

After finally escaping from the convenience store, he met a girl in red with a ponytail at the door.

He killed the monster behind the girl very handsomely. Before being surrounded by monsters, the two got into the police car and escaped...

Thinking of this, Leon, who was driving, suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to know the girl's name.

Before he could open his mouth to ask, the pony-tailed girl sitting in the passenger seat asked his doubts first:

"What the hell happened?!"

"I don't know either... I hope my colleagues at the police station can tell me."

"Wait a minute! Are you a policeman?"

"Yes, my name is Leon Kennedy, what's yours?"

"Claire, Claire Redfield."

After exchanging names, the two people who had just experienced life and death together instantly felt that the distance between them had become much closer.

Big raindrops hit the windshield one after another. Leon turned on the wiper and asked casually:

"Do you live nearby?"

"No, I'm here to find my brother, who is also a policeman."

"It seems that it is fate that the two of us meet together. I can no longer predict what will happen next..."

Just as the two of them were riding in a police car and driving towards Raccoon City, a helicopter with flashing red dots slowly passed by in the night sky in the distance...

...

"Dear citizens, please note that due to abnormal situations in the city, it is recommended that you go to the Raccoon City Police Station to take refuge. We will provide free food and medical supplies to citizens in need..."

The city radio was still broadcasting evacuation instructions on a loop.

However, there was no one on the dark road. There were only cars parked on the road, forming a long queue with no end in sight.

This is what Leon and Claire saw in the police car.

As the police car moved forward slowly, looking at everything around her through the car window, Claire couldn't help but murmured:

"Oh my god, it's so unreal..."

"The police station is not far away. They must know something."

Leon's words did not make Claire's worries disappear:

"Okay, but...what if we are the only ones left? Are there no other survivors at all?"

"No, there must be survivors. In such a big city... there must be people alive!"

Looking at Leon with a determined look on his face, Claire said nothing, but the anxiety in her heart receded a little.

At least, I am not alone, facing this unknown...

The police car drove forward slowly, and was eventually blocked by a guardrail.

After applying the brakes and shifting the gear, Leon parked the car and said:

"I think we have to leave..."

Hearing this, Claire reached for the car door handle...

At this moment, a strange sound attracted her attention.

Looking out of the car window, under the flickering street lights, two "people" were squatting next to a corpse on the roadside, chewing something.

The sound of biting was extremely clear.

Perhaps attracted by the sound of the car's engine, the two "people" squatting on the roadside slowly turned around, revealing their pale and ferocious faces.

It was those man-eating monsters they saw at the gas station!

Seeing this, Claire's expression became stern, and then she said:

"I think I have to run..."

"Yes, a good idea..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound, and a pale palm stained with blood slammed on the car window on Lyon's side.

"Oh my God!"

At the same time, a monster with fangs and claws appeared outside the car door on the other side.
