Chapter 20
(Please take it easy on my English. It is my second language.)
Note #1: Minigun looks like a smaller version of Gatling gun. It is a multi-barreled machinegun with a high rate of fire (several thousand rounds per minute), employing Gatling-style rotating barrels and an external power source.
Note #2: For those who don't know, Jason Voorhees, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers, are three popular unstoppable supernatural serial killers in horror movies.(Personally I think those movies are meaningless and pointless though, just my opinion.)
"Drop your weapons!"
"No, you drop yours!"
"…"
"…"
After over 30 second of silence on both sides,
"It looks like we are pretty even. Why don't we just all put away our guns and start talking like civilized gentlemen?" Hunk suggested.
"Even? Are you blind?" Nicholai said with sarcasm. "T-103 advance forward!" And he was pointing his finger right at Hunk.
Immediately a huge guy over 8-foot tall stood up from among Nicholai's mercenaries and walked out of the woods with some really heavy footsteps. He stopped when he was just 20 meters away from Hunk. It was a Tyrant carrying a minigun!
"T-103? Don't make me laugh. Such outdated old model!" Hunk laughed. "T-106, move forward!" And he was pointing his finger at the Nicholai's Tyrant.
Some heavy footsteps appeared from the opposite direction from behind the second group of Hunk's men. Another 8-foot tall Tyrant walked all the way passed Hunk and now it was face to face with Nicholai's Tyrant just 15 meters apart. It looked identical to its counterpart, except it was carrying a Gatling gun.
"Ok, so your Tyrant has a bigger gun. I don't see any other difference. T-106 my ass!" Nicholai's voice came from the woods.
"L-a-s P-l-a-g-a-s…" Hunk's T-106 Tyrant spoke slowly with a weird voice.
"What the fuck is a Las Plagas?" Nicholai asked.
"Damn it! Stupid idiots did not even bother to reprogram it after the last mission! It is now exposing our old plans!" Hunk thought to himself. "Nothing important!" he replied to Nicholai. "He was really saying 'last bottles'. He wanted more drinks. You know, we were bored, and were testing to see how much beer he could drink," he added.
"Ok, whatever. So your 'new' model got a few new vocabularies. Does that make it any better than ours in combat?"
"Shall we find out?" Hunk then ordered the Tyrant "Arm your secondary weapon now!"
The T-106 Tyrant quickly took out a rocket launcher from its back and put it onto its left shoulder while aiming at the opposite Tyrant.
"If you fire that thing here, the military units just 2 miles away at the fences will hear the explosion for sure. You will expose our position and ruining us all!" Nicholai said.
"You got that one right. So why don't we just sit down and start talking? Or I will order the Tyrant give the military a wake up call!" Hunk replied.
"You won't".
"Just try me. Oh I mean try him," Hunk then ordered the Tyrant. "If they fire a single shot, fire the rockets as many times as you can into the sky at north".
"You are crazy!"
"Maybe I am. Ok, I will back down a little. Just give me two of the six dead zombies. We can call it even," Hunk had found a weakness, now he was trying to exploit it.
"Call it even? I don't owe you anything, Hunk!"
"Oh, you do! Three days ago, your god damned sports car dropped right on the top of my car outside the bar !"
"Really? That piece of shitty car was yours?"
"Shitty car? It was a $225,000 car!"
"Not my problem. Blame the morons who planted the car bomb," Nicholai was in fact trying not to laugh.
"It was your fault to park the car right beside mine! I had to ride a bicycle for the last 3 days…"
"HAHAHAHA…!" Nicholai finally couldn't hold it any more. After over 15 seconds of trying, he finally stopped his laughing. "Ok, Hunk. You really cracked me up…HAHAHA…" He started to laugh again.
"Shut up! Stop laughing right now or I will order my T-106 fire the rocket at the north!"
"Don't do anything stupid. I will give you one zombie. Just one," Nicholai decided it might be a better idea not to force Hunk's Tyrant. Hunk might not be stupid, but the Tyrant was. The military nearby could corner all of them quickly if they were exposed.
"Two zombies!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"One and half!"
"How the heck am I supposed to bring back one and half?"
"I don't know. Carry it on your back?"
"Two! Or no deal!" Hunk moved closer to T-106. "Aim at the sky at north!"
"L-a-s P-l-a-g-a-s…" The T-106 said it slowly as it was raising the rocket launcher to aim at the sky at south.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Hunk almost exploded. His Tyrant kept telling Nicholai what they had just obtained from Spain not too long ago. "Don't ever say another word or I will drop you off a chopper from 3,000 feet! And that is not north, you moron!"
Claire and Carlos were sitting on a hanging bench in the back yield. Both of them were wearing sleeping suits. It was a nice back yield. There were lots of small plants and nicely cut bushes, a medium sized swimming pool and a pond. It was some endless woods with tall trees just less than 100 meters away. They were talking for quite a while with low voices while shaking the hanging bench back and forth.
"It was really nice talking to you," Claire smiled sweetly. "Let's go back to the bed".
"Yeah, good idea".
"Did you just say go back to the bed?" Suddenly a voice came from behind.
Both Claire and Carlos stood up from the still shaking bench and turned around. It was Chris standing outside the back door in just shorts with all his big muscles exposed perfectly. He must have heard the little chatting from the back yield.
"Chris. What brought you down here?" Claire asked.
"Just answer my question, little sister. Did you say you two were going to the bed?"
"Separated beds, of course," Claire replied. "What got into you, Chris? It is not like you at all".
"Claire, you are coming with me to the upstairs," Chris demanded.
"What for?"
"You sleep on the second floor for today".
"Why?"
"It is not safe downstairs".
"Give her a break, Chris. She is an adult, and you are not the daddy here," Carlos jumped in.
"I am the man of this house. And you are a guest, just remember that," Chris replied. "Don't interfere with our family matters".
"It's ok. I will go sleeping upstairs just for today," Claire walked toward the back door. She did not want to argue.
Chris turned around and entered the house behind Claire.
"Wow, I am glad I don't have a big brother," Carlos thought. "Oh well, and he must be still not happy with me hugging Jill for over 20 seconds at the airport…No matter, tomorrow he and Claire will be leaving for Zion. I will be staying with Jill for quite a while before joining them," He was getting a little excited after he thought about the last sentence again. The younger Claire was very cute, pretty, and sweet, but the more grown up Jill was hotter.
After some negotiation, Nicholai finally agreed to let Hunk take two of the six dead men they found in the tunnel.
Most of the mercenaries from both sides were still at their old spots, although they had all moved away their aiming and turned off the laser beams. Except the two Tyrants were still standing face to face 15 meters apart with their weapons armed, since neither had received the orders to stand down. The T-103 was still carrying the minigun and aiming at the T-106. The T-106 was aiming back at the T-103 with a Gatling gun while at the same time its rocket launcher was pointing at the sky of north.
"Only this time, Hunk, only this time. This will never happen again. Next time I will not let you go so easy," Nicholai still tried to look like a winner even after he had to agree Hunk's term. If wasn't because they were so close to the military defense perimeter, Nicholai would definitely had started the shooting since he never gave a damn about T-106 or the rocket launcher.
"You took the words right out of my mouth," Hunk replied. He too wouldn't back off from a fight if was not his supervisor repeatedly telling him not to bring extra trouble to his company. "Ok, where are the bodies?"
"Coming up soon," Nicholai signaled his men dragged some body bags forward.
Soon six men dragged six body bags toward Hunk who was still standing on the small open field around abandoned house. All six body bags were dropped onto the ground side by side between the two Tyrants.
"Which two do you want?" Nicholai asked after the six mercenaries who carried the body bags stepped back.
"You open the bags first," Hunk wanted to take a peek to see if the "goods" were what he asked for.
After Nicholai gave another signal, a few of his mercenaries moved forward and opened the zips on the body bags.
Hunk moved closer for a look. All six dead men had huge teeth marks on them. Two of them still had eyes open, while three had their mouths open. Blood were all over their faces and bodies. They looked very creepy.
"How far did they go?" Hunk asked.
"They were near the end of the 2-mile long tunnel we had dug. We had left just one last meter of dirt in the way, but somehow it collapsed after the heavy raining. Those idiots did not stop at the end of the tunnel. We found their bodies just 200 meters after entering the sewer".
"Did you see any sign of what killed them?"
"No. We did search around for some time close to where they were killed, but we found nothing".
"Mmmmmoooaaaaa…," Suddenly a groan came from somewhere really close.
"What…what was that?"
"Urrghhhh…," another groan, and it sounded like right beside Hunk.
Suddenly the six dead bodies on the ground started moving. One after another, they tried to get out of the body bags and to stand up. The six dead bodies had finally turned into undead!
"Shoot the damn zombies!" Nicholai immediately ordered his T-103.
Immediately the T-103 Tyrant fired its minigun at the six zombies who were on the ground in a row next to each other. The minigun rotated rapidly as the hundreds of deadly bullets pumping out and instantly put down all six undead like cutting down grass.
Suddenly,
"BOOM!" Hunk's T-106 fired its rocket launcher at the sky. A rocket was shot right into the sky and flew toward north with a long line of fire behind it. In a clear sky, it was so visible like an extra large signal flare!
"YOU IDIOT!!!" Nicholai screamed at Hunk.
"Not my fault! He did it!" Hunk pointed his finger at the T-106's nose. He too was shocked.
"Of course it was your fault!! You forgot to tell it not to shoot the rocket if we fired!" Nicholai shouted at Hunk "Oh my GOD! Look, it is trying to fire another rocket!"
"Stop it, you moron! They aren't firing at us!" Hunk quickly ordered the T-106 Tyrant and stopped it from firing a second rocket into the sky.
"There is no time. The military might have already seen it. Soon there will be helicopters come to search through the woods with infrared equipments. I say we RUN FOR IT!"
"What is it, Billy?" Rebecca raised her pretty head from on the top of Billy's chest as Billy had turned his head to look out of the window at his left.
Both of them were on a bed inside a Recreation Vehicle. It was one of the weekends. They always went out for camping trips in their RV. The forest between old Raccoon City and Zion Township was one of their favorite places, since it did not require them to go far. More importantly, rarely anyone went there which made it a very quiet place. They could do anything they want in the wild, while Billy would never need to worry about being seen.
"I thought I heard something," Billy had sat up and continuing to look out of the window.
"Probably just another deer," Rebecca did not even bother to sit up, since she did not hear a thing at all.
"No, it sounded like an explosion".
"Must be another stupid hunter tried to shoot a deer with a cannon".
"Or he was trying to shoot a mountain lion," Billy extended his hand to underneath the pillow. He pulled his hand back after he touched his full loaded magnum pistol for a brief moment. There were another pistol and a high power shotgun right under the bed, but he felt safer to keep one of the weapons closer within reach.
"There is no mountain lion in this area, silly," Rebecca put her cute little hand on Billy's chest and pressed him down back onto the bed. She leaned forward for another kiss.
"We will never know. Those things are very sneaky. Besides, there were reports of bears attacks in this area, they can be dangerous too when they are angry," Billy was being really careful. It was his soldier's instinct telling him keep on guard at all times.
"I am not worried. Even if there is a man-eating mountain lion or a pissed off bear out there, I am sure my big strong ex-Special Ops Lieutenant will protect me," Rebecca somehow felt perfectly safe with Billy around. She smiled as she held Billy's big warm hand against her soft chest.
"We still have to be careful, little girl".
"I am not a little girl".
"Yes, you are. You are 8 years younger than me. Think about it, I was 16 when you were only 8, or I was 18 when you were only 10. You will always be little in my eyes, honey. But I like that," Billy smiled as he was caressing Rebecca gently.
At Sand City military personnel families' neighborhood,
Leon looked outside the window from Ada's home. After the delivering of the bad news, all the houses within several street blocks had their lights turned on. Whether or not people were sleeping was unclear, but obviously everyone felt safer without sleep in the dark. Military soldiers were patrolling every road within the neighborhood in small groups. Every a few minutes there was one group passing. It looked safe enough, at least in this part of the city.
Leon was getting tired of staying in the house doing nothing, while the infection in the city was probably getting more serious every minute. He had no weapon since he left Spain, but he had found two big kitchen knives and he was carrying them just in case.
Ada's mother had given him a key of house. He decided to go out to take a look at the community's defense. So he walked out and locked the door behind him.
It took him less than 10 minutes walking to reach the nearest gate. There, a large high steel gate was locked, and there was another layer of road block right in front of it. Just 30 meters inside the gate, some soldiers had set up a temporary defense line with bags of sand and some supply boxes. Two heavy machineguns and two light machineguns were set up on the top of that defensive line, and they were aiming at the gate. Right behind the temporary defense line, there were two armed jeeps and a military truck. Each of them had a heavy machinegun mounted on the top and they were manned. Beside the gate, there was a building of 4 floors high. Leon could see at least one machinegun and three snipers among the several soldiers on the top of it.
There were some more soldiers holding assault rifles standing on guard right next to the gate. It looked like this gate alone had at least one platoon of soldiers around. Leon walked forward.
"Hey, it's you, General Wong's future son-in-law," One of the soldiers suddenly spoke in English.
"Oh, hi," Leon noticed he was the one who had delivered the message earlier. "Just call me Leon".
"Hello Leon. What brought you here so late? You should go get some rest. You will need to be at top condition if the situation gets worse".
"Oh, I just want to take a look around see how safe this place is. May I go outside to check the nearby streets?" Leon asked.
"You may, but at your own risk. Although the next few street blocks outside the gate all had road blocks set up with soldiers guarding there," The soldier replied. "Oh, nice knives," He suddenly laughed.
Leon was carrying two kitchen knives on each side of his waists.
"Yeah well, they are the only things I found I could use to defend myself. Don't worry, I will be careful. I just want to take a peek, and I will be back in no time".
"Ok. But the patrols outside might give you trouble since you are walking around so late with two knives. You don't speak Chinese, let me write a note for you to let them know who you are. They won't try to hold you once they learn who your future father-in-law is," The soldier took out a piece of paper and a pen.
"Oh, thank you very much!" Leon was very grateful. The soldier had thought about the things he did not think of.
While the soldier was writing the note, an officer looking man walked to in front of them, and he asked the soldier something in Chinese. After the soldier who could speak English talked to him for a short moment. The officer smiled at Leon while trying to say hi with a hand. Leon greeted him back. After the soldier done writing the note, the officer took it over and signed his name on it.
"This is our platoon leader. He signed the note for you. It will be a lot more useful than my signature. Oh, and he said he want you to take this," the soldier took out a loaded pistol and three extra clips of ammos. "It's a T54 handgun, 7.62X25mm. 8 rounds in each clip. Sorry, it is one very old model, but it should be much more effective than the knives you are carrying".
"Ah, thank you! Finally, a gun! Yes, it is definitely better than the kitchen knives!" Leon laughed. He was excited that he was giving a real weapon.
"Don't get lost," The soldier said.
"I won't. I have a pretty good sense of direction, besides I am not going to walk too far. Thank you for your concern. I will be back in less than an hour. See you soon".
After Leon got the note and the T54 pistol from the soldier, the soldier opened a small door on the big steel gate, and he locked it back on after Leon exited.
Now on the street, Leon found himself completely alone. It was already close to middle night. The street right in front of the gate was completely lighted up by the street lights, but there was nobody walking or driving. All the buildings in the neighborhood across the street already had their lights turned off. Everything looked normal enough. The sky was clear. It was a full moon, with lots of stars around. The night wind came through and made Leon felt a little chill. He could hear the police cars and helicopters, but they were definitely far away from this part of the town.
After just two minutes of walking, Leon had reached the first street block outside the gate. There was a big long wooden stick blocking the traffic in the middle of the road close to the cross. Behind the road block, there was one military truck and an armed jeep. Both had mounted machineguns on the top. There were about a squad of soldiers around them. Some of them were talking while holding their assault rifles. The town used to look so peaceful just earlier that day. Now it looked like during a war time. A few of the soldiers were looking at Leon's direction as he approached them.
In the forest between Zion Township and the Raccoon City biohazard zone,
A RV was parking on one grass field beside woods. It was slightly shaking. There were heavy breathes came from inside it.
Suddenly, a sound of something impacting the metal was heard. Something had hit the RV from the outside.
Immediately, both Billy and Rebecca stopped their little "sports" on the bed. They both had heard it this time. As they slowed their breath, Rebecca quietly got off from the top of Billy. She quickly pulled a blanket to cover her naked body, while Billy picked up the loaded magnum pistol from below his pillow.
Billy was holding the magnum pistol in his right hand, while putting a finger from his left hand in front of his mouth to signal Rebecca do not make any sound. Rebecca quietly nodded. Her eyes looked worried this time. Both of them were completely naked inside a RV in the middle of nowhere. Nobody should be within 50 miles except occasionally a few fearless hunters or campers.
Billy got off the bed from the left without putting on a single piece of clothes. He held his pistol and quietly moved closer to the window at the left of the bed. Windows of their RV were not covered. They could see the wildness outside. Window after window, Billy tried to look at the below.
Just as he moved closer to another window, suddenly
"Ah!" Rebecca screamed.
A person with bloody face and bloody hands had stood up from below the window and leaned against the glass. Billy was really just inches away at the other side of the glass. He was shocked for a moment, and he couldn't help it but moved back two large steps. After a short moment of surprise, Billy moved his gun to point at the person on the other side of the glass window.
The man's bloody hands and face were all against the glass, which made the blood all over the window. He had his mouth widely open, and it looked like he was trying to say something. In just a few seconds, the bloody man collapsed and disappeared from their view.
"Quickly, put on your clothes," Billy told Rebecca who was in full nude just like himself. He did not plan to do the same.
While Rebecca was putting on her shirt, Billy crouched down and pulled out the loaded shotgun and another pistol from under the bed. He handed Rebecca the shotgun after she was done with dressing a shirt which was long enough to cover some parts of her upper thighs.
Billy held both pistols as he carefully opened the door of their RV. He carefully took a peek outside with just 1/3 of his head before he stepped outside. Rebecca was right behind him with a shotgun. The two of them quickly walked to the other side of the VR. There they found the bloody man who they just saw a moment ago. The man was lying there facing the ground while shaking rapidly.
"Help…" The bloody man said without looking at the two. He obviously heard someone was coming.
After looked at each other for a short moment, Billy nodded.
"Go ahead to check him out, I am staying on guard," He said.
Rebecca moved forward and crouched down beside the man, while Billy was just one step behind holding one pistol in each hand.
"What happened?" Rebecca tried to ask.
"They are all dead…they are all dead…it's coming…it's coming for me…" The man said some last words before he quieted down.
"What is coming?" Billy was confused about what happened to the man. "A man-eating mountain lion? A pissed off bear? Alien? Predator? Jason Voorhees? Freddy Krueger?Michael Myers? Spiderman?..."
"Spiderman is good," Rebecca stopped Billy from making the silly list longer.
"Alright…whatever you say, honey. I don't trust anyone," but he quickly added, "Except you," Billy carefully looked around for quite a while with both pistols scanning through all directions. There was nothing but trees, bushes, and grass.
"He is unconscious. There are only three small wounds, and they all looked like just the scratches when he ran through the woods. Most of the blood was not his. He was just too scared of something, and he was exhausted. He must have been running for a long time," Rebecca turned her head to tell Billy after she checked on the man.
"What should we do with him then?"
"We have to drive him to the hospital. People can die from being too scared, you know," Rebecca looked at Billy.
"Well, I guess. But I can't show up in the hospital. The cops might come to question us what happened. I will be doomed if they ask me for ID".
"I will drop you off at home before bring him to the hospital".
"Ok, let's go then," Billy moved closer trying to carry the man. "Put on some pants please, sweetie," Billy turned around to tell Rebecca who had only a shirt on. He did not care about himself being totally nude at the same time.
Leon had walked back to Ada's home after he checked all the nearby streets around this walled neighborhood. Every crossroad was guarded by a squad of soldiers armed with machineguns and assault rifles. Some of them even had shoulder launch anti-tank missiles. As far as Leon could see, there was nothing wrong. It did not make him feel any better though, since the helicopters and police cars could still be heard everywhere from a distance.
"I hope the outbreak can be stopped before it really gets out of control," Leon thought. So far it did not seem so bad, at least not in this part of the city. In fact, everything was normal. And the nearby streets were all heavily guarded by the military.
"I just wish to see Ada soon," Leon couldn't help to think about it. He hadn't seen Ada for over 15 hours except the phone call around the time of dinner. After made love to her for the first time 3 days ago which took Ada's virginity, Leon hadn't slept with her since. He wanted her so badly. And with the unexpected situations, he was really worried about her.
Leon walked back and forth for a while in the living room. He had put away the kitchen knives onto the table, and now he had the T54 pistol in his pocket. After sat down on the sofa, he took out the pistol for another check. At that moment, he heard a few helicopters were getting closer and closer. Leon looked out of the window at the sky, and he saw three military transportation helicopters were right on the top of this neighborhood.
Soon one of the three helicopters landed in the middle of a crossroad not too far from Ada's home, while the other two had separated and moved toward the two gates. At the crossroad, the helicopter's blades were slowing down. It looked like the pilot was going to park it right there. Leon could clearly see the mounted machineguns from both sides of the chopper. Some heavily armed marines jumped off, and they were carrying down some big wooden boxes which looked like military supplies.
Leon moved away from the window.
"Just great…More soldiers. I already feel safe now," He said to himself.
Soon, there were knocks on the door. Leon opened it. In front of him, there stood two soldiers in pure black combat gears. They were holding QBZ-95 assault rifles, while both had their faces covered by the plastic on their helmets. They looked quite different from all the other soldiers who were just wearing green uniforms.
"Hi, who are you?" Leon asked. "Do you speak English?" He added as he suddenly remembered he was a foreigner there.
"I am the fiancé of Leon Kennedy," Ada's playful voice from behind the mask of the soldier who stood closer to Leon.
"AH! Ada! I was so worried about you!" Leon quickly moved forward to give Ada a hug. "Now remove that fancy helmet and let me see your beautiful face".
Ada removed the helmet. Once her smiling pretty face was exposed, Leon immediately pulled her closer and gave her a long kiss. It lasted more than 25 seconds, and Leon still did not let go of her. The other soldier in black gears somehow looked a little uncomfortable at the scene.
"Ok, honey. Stop chewing my lips," Ada laughed while her lips were still being held by Leon's. "Where is my mom?"
"She is sleeping upstairs after had a call with your dad. It is very late you know. I am sure you dad had told your mom not to worry".
"That's great. Now I have to introduce you to someone important".
"Oh?" Leon finally let go of Ada.
Ada pulled the other soldier to between Leon and herself, who still had the face covered by the fancy full head helmet.
"Guess who this is?"
"Umm, I don't know," Leon couldn't figure it out who would be that important at that moment.
"Take a guess, honey!" Ada said playfully.
"Give a hint please. Is that someone I knew or …?
"You knew, but you haven't met each other for a long time except one occasion which you did not even recognize who this is".
"So that rules out all the Chinese?"
"Yes".
"Umm…how long is a long time?"
"Several years".
"Jill? Chris? Claire? That doesn't make sense though…why would they be here…And Chris would be a lot taller".
"You are not even close, Leon".
"I give up. Just show me the face please!" Leon had no idea but he really wanted to see who was really behind the mask.
"Alright, take off your helmet," Ada said to the soldier in front of her.
The helmet was removed.
"Lauren Wesker!" Leon immediately said. "but…"
"Leon, please call me Sherry Birkin," Sherry looked at Leon and she looked so shy even as she was smiling.
"Ah!" Leon was stunned for a moment. "So you really are…"
"Yes, I am sorry I lied to you in Spain. I…" Sherry dropped her helmet and ran forward. She hugged Leon very hard.
"Oh no...no…no…let go…" Leon was almost get killed by the bear hug Sherry had just given to him.
"I am sorry! I am so sorry!" Sherry immediately realized she was a little carried away, and she quickly decreased the force on her arms. "Leon, I missed you so much!"
"Me too," Leon said while he still tried to recover from Sherry's bear hug. It almost crashed him. "How did you end up like this?"
"Let's go inside," Ada suggested.
"Oh, yeah. Come in, Sherry. We can talk inside".
Sherry finally let go of Leon, and she entered the door as Leon was showing her to get in. Ada entered behind her, and they locked the door.
"Leon, she was tortured by General Zhao. No food, no water, no sleep for 3 days. You can ask her questions later. Right now she really needs to do the more important things first," Ada said to Leon.
"Oh. That General Zhao…" Leon said. "There is a whole Beijing Roast duck in the fridge. I liked it so much, so your mom bought one for me for dinner. But since you weren't home, I did not touch it at all. I was saving it for you. There are also some fresh rice cakes with sweet-scented osmanthus. There are also fruit, some giant Xingjian grapes, and those huge sweet honey melons".
"You will like them," Ada smiled at Sherry. Since Sherry had never tasted those food before.
"May I take a quick shower first? I haven't had one in 3 days. I feel so dirty," Sherry said in embarrassment.
"Sure, but you will have to wear my clothes, since you don't have any clean ones of your own," Ada replied.
"Oh, yeah".
"Just put your weapons onto the table, I am going to get you some clean underwear, a bath towel, and a bath suit for now. You can choose one of the dresses I wear in the morning, since you are so hungry and tired," Ada told Sherry before she walked into a bedroom to look for the things she just mentioned.
Sherry took out all the weapons and "toys" she stole from the commando, and put them on the table beside a counter in the kitchen. Then she took off the bullet-proof body armor. She looked at Leon a few times while she was doing that.
"It's ok, Sherry. You don't have to tell me anything right now. Go take your bath, and grab some food, then go get some sleep," Leon was very understandable. He said it with a very warm tone which made Sherry felt very comfortable.
"Thank you, Leon. You were always so nice to me," Sherry's smiling face looked very cute and pretty even though she still had tear marks all over.
After Sherry took off her bullet-proof body armor, Ada had come back. She held a bath suit, a bath towel, and a set of her own clean underwear.
"Sorry, there is no bra. I don't wear them," Ada handed Sherry everything. "Bathroom is over there" She pointed at a door.
"No problem. And thank you," Sherry smiled at Ada. She took off her shoes before walked into the bathroom with commando's black uniform still on.
"So, what's up?" Ada asked after Sherry had locked the bathroom door behind her.
"Not much. I was so worried about you. How did this happen? Who attacked your father's base, and how did the outbreak in the city start?"
"My guess would be General Zhao's attack on the B.O.W. lab inside the Sand City two days ago was a failure. Those bastards must have shipped out some finished B.O.W.s and released them as revenge for taking out one of their labs".
"Is the military base ok now?"
"I am not sure about the latest details, but the intruders were contained within the agency headquarter before I left. My dad had ordered many tanks surrounded the building completely, and General Zhao's commandos had moved in for the hunt".
"So your father will be ok".
"Yes, don't worry about him. There are over 5,000 soldiers in that base, with tanks, choppers, fighter jets. Besides, as much as I dislike General Zhao, his commandos are fully capable of taking care of some BOWs".
"Are we going to get out of here any time soon?"
"The city is quarantined. Nobody is allowed to leave. I guess all the roads to the outside had being blocked by the military. Although my father said he would try to convince the Forbidden City high command to set up some temporary refugee camps outside the city as soon as possible, where the people who seem to be normal will be moved there for temporary quarantine before allowed to go free. But it is still just a suggestion of my dad's, whether or not they will approve this is still questionable".
"So we are trapped here meanwhile?"
"For the moment, yes. Please don't worry, you got two super soldiers to protect you," Ada put one of her hands onto Leon's which was on a kitchen table.
"Sherry is a super soldier, too?"
"Yes!"
"That god damned Wesker!"
"Actually Wesker treated her really well. She said so. He treated her like his own daughter ever since she was with him six years ago. He never said no to her. It was her who asked for…well everything including the missions".
"That is really weird…"
"I was thinking the same thing. But I guess even the most evil people still have a soft spot somewhere".
"I guess".
"Alright, Sherry will be coming out of her bath soon. Let's get her food ready," Ada suggested.
"Yeah, let's do this. She'll love the food here!" Leon loved the food there so much, and he couldn't wait to let Sherry try them too.
The two of them quickly got some food out of the fridge and heated up the ones that needed to be eaten hot.
After they were done with preparing food for Sherry,
"Honey, that combat outfit looks really cool on you, but I prefer your red dress at home. You can change it back quickly if zombies are attacking this neighborhood," Leon wanted to see Ada being more exposed. The commando's combat gears covered almost every part of her skin.
"Ok, honey. I will be back in just a minute," Ada turned around to walk toward a small room.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Leon suddenly thought about another important thing. He quickly entered a different room where his big case was. He took out the flat wooden box, and closed the case before he walked back into the kitchen.
Ada had not come back to the kitchen yet. There was the sound of running water came from the bathroom where Sherry was taking a shower. Leon put down the box on the table and left the kitchen. He pushed a door open. Ada was inside in a bending down position as she was pulling off her commando's black pants of her feet. She had only black panties left after put away the pants.
"Sexy as usual!" Leon laughed while moved closer to take a better look.
"Hey honey, would you like me to stay like this for now? Or still want me to put on my butterfly dress? My dad isn't home, my mom is sleeping".
"I would love to have you walk around 100 percent naked! But since Sherry is here…"
"Alright," Ada laughed as she was about to put on the red dress.
"Ada, wait!" Leon moved forward.
"What is it?"
"Just one moment please," Leon arrived in front of Ada, and he crouched down to lower himself. He took a grab of Ada with both arms and pulled her closer before putting his face against her chest. He shook his head really fast between her breasts while making the sound of kissing with his lips.
"Haha…" Ada laughed out loud. "You just wouldn't let go of any chance, would you?"
"I am a big bad opportunist!" Leon stopped for a second to reply before he started to kiss Ada's two breasts back and forth. He finally stopped after over 15 kisses.
Then he suddenly extended out his right hand and used three fingers to pull the top of Ada's black panties open.
"Ummmmm…sweet!" He moved his head closer and took a peek inside Ada's panties for a brief moment before Ada pushed his head away.
Leon was exiting the room with a laughing face. He was pleased. Behind him, Ada couldn't stop smiling. She now was completely conformable with whatever Leon do to her, since he had already taken her virginity three days ago. She dressed herself with another of her sexy butterfly dress before she walked out of the door to join Leon in the kitchen.
"What is this?" Ada asked after she saw a flat wooden box on the kitchen table.
"Open it," Leon smiled at her.
Ada picked it up and opened it quickly. Inside, there was a pretty green jade bracelet.
"Put it on, it is so pretty and only you deserve it," Leon looked at Ada and he couldn't wait to see Ada wearing it.
"It is pretty. I like it," Ada took the jade bracelet into her hand and she was turning it around to take some close looks. "When did you get it?"
"On my way home today. I bought it off a nice seller on the street," Leon replied.
"On the street? Not from a store?"
"No, not from a shop. It was a merchant selling lots of jade stuff on a blanket beside a street," Leon replied. "I got a good deal. Only 3,000 Yuan. That's less than $400 USD," He said while smiling.
"3,000 Yuan?" Ada couldn't believe her ears. "From someone who was selling stuff on a blanket beside the street?"
"Yes, honey. Is there a problem?" Leon was getting curious about Ada's reactions. He couldn't figure it out what was not right.
"Leon, I like this jade bracelet a lot. It is very pretty," Ada said slowly. "But there is one thing I hate to break it to you. No merchant sells stuff on the side of the streets would have anything worth more than 50 Yuan usually…"
"What do you mean?"
"You got ripped off…really hard!"
"Are you sure?" Leon did not believe it. The jade bracelet looked so nice, 3000 Yuan which equaled to less than $400 USD did not sound like a rip off to him.
"I am sure. Something worth 3,000 Yuan wouldn't be sold on the street on the top of a blanket. High grade goods are always sold in the shops. Only those who couldn't afford to rent a shop selling low grade goods beside the streets…on a blanket…"
"Oh, my…" Leon started to believe it, but he still did not know how he got into this.
"Tell me what really happened? How did you buy it?" Ada asked.
"I asked for the price. He put up 3 fingers. So I wrote down '3000?', and he nodded. So I paid him 3,000 Yuan".
"…"
"What?"
"Leon, three fingers could mean 3x10, or 3x100. Why the heck did you have to say 3000?"
"Are you saying it was my own fault?"
"I don't want to make you to feel bad. But, yes…and he took the opportunity," Ada replied. "Just forget about it. No big deal. It was only 3000. I like the bracelet. Just please be careful next time, there are lots of big bad merchants out there who would rip off foreigners if they have the chance," Ada did not want to disappoint Leon and she quickly wear the bracelet on her left wrist. And she moved her arms around a bit to let Leon see. Both of them were happy about how it looked on her.
"What happened?" General Zhao asked as he saw two unconscious commandos in only underwear were carried out.
Four more unconscious commandos were carried out, but they had full gears. Then the unconscious Fong Ling was carried out too.
"General, look what we found," A commando said as he was holding a red dress in one hand, while holding a pair of high heels in the other hand.
"And this," Another commando was holding Sherry's tight black suit.
"So, they had switched to your uniforms…"
"It seems so, General".
General Zhao turned around to look at General Wong's direction. He surprised found General Wong was no longer there. He looked around, General Wong was nowhere in his view.
"What about the intruders?" General Zhao asked.
