PROLOGUE...
I am Chris Orswell, one of the few survivors of the cannibal virus/chemical spill in Raccoon City. The city was warned of impending doom and they chose to ignore it. Now we all suffer the consequences.
After a string of bizarre murders on the outer parts of Raccoon City coming months before the initial outbreak, Special Tactics And Rescue Squad (STARS) of the Raccoon City Police Department were sent to look into the incidents. They were transported to the Spencer Estate, where they faced the true purposes of White Umbrella. The few team members who survived returned to the city to tell the denizens. Their words were disregarded, creatures too ghastly and disgusting for the naïve people. In the end, the city would be brought to its knees.
The nightmare faced at the mansion by the STARS members soon caught up with them. Most never knew and would never know the large part the Umbrella Corporation played. Because of the façade Umbrella created on the townspeople, they always thought they were safe. Some even thought that Umbrella would protect them; but Umbrella did nothing...
I have been able to study the side effects of this virus from afar and close up. The victims who have contracted it become acutely aggressive and far stronger than any human. They also enter a zombie-like state, in which they have no more control over their body. Talking it over is not an option; they will bite you at any cost. The infected will bite and feed on human and/or animal flesh. The longer the virus carrier survives, the more decomposed the cadaver will become. But they feel no pain whatsoever; flesh and blood is what keeps them going, even if the knees are shot out.
Virus carriers have a sturdy resilience. Shots to the stomach will only make them crawl and shots to the heart don't work so well. I have seen zombies crawl with all of their fingers fractured, straining to feed themselves.
Now I will tell you the tale of my survival, the constant struggle I faced in Raccoon City. This is my story, my test of true strength and will…
