All Worlds Madhouse

Ahem ~ Raccoon City.

This is a not too big city. There are vast forests in the north and rugged mountainous areas in the south.

In the eyes of the vast majority of residents, their time living in Raccoon City is their most cherished memory...

Although this is an industrial city, people don't care about the economy and status that her industrial output brings to the city. Because in the eyes of outsiders, these are just some data worthy of their reference.

Although there is no symbolic agricultural production here, people are proud of the large virgin forests and natural water sources that nourish their sentiments and land. Although there is not the most luxurious way of life and enjoyment here, Raccoon citizens are accustomed to entertaining themselves in their work and leisure time, and are fully immersed in the comfort of the town.

No matter how inconspicuous or even backward this city is to others, the people living there will continue to love it deeply, cherish the history and culture it has created, and be gratified and benefited from the stability and prosperity of raccoon society. Inspire.

Because Raccoon City is a paradise for every resident to grow up and remember.

The above is an excerpt from what the mayor of Raccoon City read at the year-end meeting two years ago.

Well, actually, it’s hard for him to be able to read out this manuscript.

Raccoon City. I don’t know why, but the name of this city sounds like a gathering place for ‘ready-to-eat’ manufacturers.

But the fact is exactly the opposite. This is a small city that has nothing to do with industry, commerce, or even any way to make money.

To the north is a forest that is too lazy to name, while on the other side is a long mountainous area. In the words of the speech, it is a good place worthy of adventure and challenge for many mountaineering enthusiasts. But in fact, this is just a painful excuse to launch some tourism projects and increase the government's revenue and expenditure.

Yes, this is an inconspicuous small city with no stories and no passion. Every day at 3 o'clock and the first line, the only expectation is to go to the bar for a drink after get off work.

It has been like this for at least two years.

I don’t know if God finally remembered this city that had never received any favor, so one day, a large enterprise called [Umbrella Corporation] took a fancy to this ungrateful place.

No one knows what [Umbrella Corporation] is, but because of its transliteration or because its icon resembles a red and white umbrella, most people are accustomed to calling it [Umbrella Corporation].

But in fact, no one cares about what it is called. People only need to know that it is rich.

Because just after this company entered and funded Raccoon City, Raccoon City experienced rapid development and innovation in just two years.

According to incomplete statistics, more than half of the citizens of Raccoon City work in companies related to [Umbrella Corporation].

Because of the economic miracle that Umbrella brought to Raccoon City, the mayor finally raised enough funds and manpower to implement the Raccoon City transformation plan that he had worked hard for many years. The plan includes a modern municipal hospital, clean and artistic streets, building a local tourism brand and upgrading tourist facilities, etc.

Anyway, this small town with a population of only 100,000 has never been so exciting.

…

Until one day in late September 1998.

All memories of Raccoon City seemed to have been erased at this moment.

September 27

People finally understood that what they were experiencing was not a flu at all, but a disaster. Those madmen who had been reported to bite people were not rabies patients at all, but a more terrifying plague.

October 4

In just one week, almost one-third of the citizens in Raccoon City lost their rational consciousness because of the plague whose origin was unknown. Those who died would get up from the ground, and the partners who were helping each other a second ago, The next second, they turned into moving corpses that only knew how to bite and devour. That day, they had a name - zombies. The body of their soul was stripped off, but they were still wandering in the world.

Frantically chasing and biting other living bodies and lives...

On October 11, half a month after the virus was raging most crazily, Raccoon City was already like a hell filled with demons. Even so, it was still struggling, suffering, and unwilling to take its last breath...

At noon on October 13, countless people across the country who turned on their TVs and radios to watch the news were informed of the shocking news. For a long time, people still couldn't believe their ears...

"Dear citizens, I have to announce a piece of news here. An unknown virus broke out in Raccoon City, our country not long ago. Due to the extremely high fatality rate and rapid spread of the virus, we have convinced all Raccoon citizens Before the 12th of this month, that is yesterday, all of them were infected with the virus and died.

Since our country has not yet developed any effective drugs to treat or prevent the virus, after joint decisions by the President and the House of Representatives, the military will carry out a "sterilization operation" on Raccoon City in the near future to prevent the spread of the virus across the United States and even the world. spread. "

On the evening of October 13, after hearing the news, many media reporters rushed to the areas near Raccoon City to conduct interviews and reports. Soon after, they conducted an in-depth media investigation into the incident. But in the end, no one really figured out what the so-called "sterilization operation" meant.

Early morning on October 14th.

On the dilapidated streets of Raccoon City, the pattering raindrops hit the remains of a burning house, making a clanging sound. There is no one here, or in other words, no one alive. Otherwise, anyone who sees this scene will never believe their eyes.

Because just now, the gap between the two buildings was suddenly opened. Like a spring that was pulled apart, it suddenly extended and vacated an empty space. Before it could react, this empty space A small hospital has appeared on the ground.

It appeared here in an instant, perfectly connected to other buildings on both sides, as if the hospital had been built here when this street was originally designed.

"Creak -" There was a sound of the door being pushed open, and a doctor holding a cigarette came out. He tested the size of the raindrops outside the door with his hands, and then took out a black book without a title from his pocket. Notes come.

He opened it casually and saw a series of constantly changing numbers displayed on the page.
