RE: Evolution System

In 1998, it could be said that it was the beginning of the end for Raccoon City, James Marcus, who died in an internal struggle within Umbrella in May 1978. Due to the influence of the Leech Queen virus he awoke and began his revenge against Umbrella.

May 11, 1998

The Mansion Affiliated Research Institute, the Cadre Training Institute, and the underground disposal site on the outskirts of Raccoon City were destroyed by Marcus, and the virus leaked out. Although the staff were required to wear biohazard isolation suits, the animals were still infected one after another, and John, the director of the Arklay Institute, was not spared. A crazy researcher destroyed the cistern, so parts of the mansion were flooded.

At this time, Umbrella also realized the seriousness of the matter and subsequently issued an order to the Raccoon City Police Department to lock down the Arklay Mountains and conduct strict surveillance on the premises.

The STARS members took a helicopter and began patrolling the Arkley Mountains. The other members seemed relaxed and unaware of the gravity of the matter, but Javier knew that the real disaster was about to begin.

In addition to ordering the police station to seal off the Arklay Mountains, Umbrella also sent its own security forces deep into the Arklay Mountains, sealing off the research labs and eradicating all people and animals infected with the T-virus.

[A/N: Sorry if I'm wrong, it's been a while since I actively read the Resident Evil story.]

As time went on, the severity of the matter far exceeded the expectations of Umbrella's top management. As time went on, more and more zombie-like employees (including this administrator) began launching attacks on the security team members. Soon, when all the security teams were exterminated, the T-virus spread even further, and many unsupervised infected began escaping from their cages.

At this time, in the Arkley Mountains, animals infected by the virus could be seen everywhere, as well as police officers who had been bitten and turned into zombies.

In order to stabilize the situation in Raccoon City, not far from the Arklay Mountains, Police Chief Irons did not expose this matter. He always believed that the T-virus would not reach Raccoon City.

Unfortunately, things did not go as he had hoped. With the disappearance and death of a climber, the Arklay Mountains were once again in the public eye.

Javier also saw the dead climber. It can be said that he died miserably. His body was torn apart. Since the wounds were similar to bites, it is believed that they were caused by wild animals.

The Raccoon City newspaper, Raccoon City Times, ran the news of a hiker's tragic death on its front page! At the same time, Chief Brian Irons formulated the "Raccoon City Police Department Emergency Action Plan" at the police department meeting.

On the same day, researchers from Umbrella Enterprises published a medical article in the journal 'Entertainment Science'. The article mentions three new medicinal herbs of the same type discovered in some mountains, on the outskirts of Raccoon City. Since their scientific name has not yet been officially created, they are called "green herb", "red herb" and "blue herb" according to the color of their specimens.

Shortly after, a second incident also occurred on the outskirts of the city. Several tourists discovered the body of a 20-year-old woman in the riverbed. The police department dispatched officers to the scene of the incident to investigate and searched the area to determine the cause.

The Raccoon City Times made headlines about the killings, and several tourists reported sightings of large, ferocious, putrid-looking dogs.

Javier knew it must be the zombie dogs from the research institute. They had arrived near the outskirts of Raccoon City. It seemed like there would be more deaths in the future.

Towards the end of the month, the police station received an alarm call from Johnson's home. Police arrived at the scene half an hour later and found the Johnson family dead, with most of the bodies missing.

Javier looked at the corpses that were carried away and realized that the zombie dogs had reached the outskirts of Raccoon City and a full-blown outbreak was not far away.

Javier went to the bar, where Chris and others were drinking and talking. When he saw Javier coming, he waved him over and Javier immediately sat down next to Jill.

"What are you guys talking about?" After Javier sat down, he asked Chris and the others, "What else can I say? Of course, the murders that have been happening recently, I don't know who did it, it must be a psychopath."

Seeing Chris speaking angrily, Javier smiled, "Maybe it wasn't done by a human, or you could say it wasn't a human." When Jill heard this, she looked at Javier.

"Was it an animal? But it doesn't look like it was one."

"No matter what, I'll kill him," Chris said angrily. Javier didn't say anything else. Everyone started drinking. Javier knew that he might not have the chance to drink and talk so easily in the future.

To appease the people of Raccoon City, Director Irons held a press conference. Here are his original words:

"Coroner Edwards confirmed that the Johnson family was attacked and killed by a gang of about 10 people. Judging by the incomplete remains of the Johnson family and the teeth marks on their bodies, they were tortured before they died. Police are still investigating the scene, but there is no evidence yet to show where the killer fled. Our forensics team will continue to send blood samples to the FBI. The blood samples may contain the evidence we need. We will let everyone know as soon as we have more information."

Javier scoffed at the reasons Irons casually made up. This guy received countless benefits, and at the same time, for the sake of his official position, he could only lie and deceive the people.

Shortly after Chief Irons held a press conference, a woman named Anna Mitaki, 42, died not far from her home. After police investigated the scene and forensic identification, it was determined that her death was related to the "Ogre" incident last month, and the murder was likely committed by the same person. This is the fourth murder since May 20.

Soon after, Director Irons made a simple statement. In his speech, he said that the Raccoon City Police Department is "urgently searching for this crazed criminal," and said that he is consulting with the city council on how to fully protect the safety of the citizens of Raccoon City.

Several monsters transformed by the T-virus appeared in various places in the Arklay Mountains, but Umbrella mobilized several forces under its control to describe such incidents as the work of terrorists. Therefore, it did not attract the attention of high-level authorities in the United States, and the citizens of Raccoon City still naively thought that everything would calm down soon.

They have no idea what awaits them...
