The entire city was desolate and chaotic.

Humanity seemed to vanish in those short dozen or so hours, leaving only dazed, man-eating beasts wandering the streets. Until they were offered fresh food, they resembled ugly and dangerous little advertisements proclaiming humanity's utter defeat in the city.

Alice was modified by the T-virus, but her heart was not corrupted. When she realized that there were still survivors in the church, she did not hesitate to rescue them.

Cheng Shuang naturally wouldn't stop the female lead from shining; she was even a little happy to witness such a highlight moment.

Being a hero is too difficult, and being a hero's family member is even more difficult. Therefore, in some movie tropes, only three types of people can stay by the hero's side for a long time.

One type is the dead, another is a capable partner, and the third is the enemy.

Similarly, the enemy is often the one most likely to grow old with the protagonist.

Aside from the hero's family and the bad guys, probably no one dislikes a hero, since everyone wants someone to lend a helping hand to save them in a crisis.

Cheng Shuang, who believed he wouldn't hold the hero back, sat on the back of the motorcycle, tightly hugging Alice's waist, and heard her whisper, "Keep your head down!"

The motorcycle soared into the air, smashing through a large glass window. As it swerved to a stop, it slammed into a lurking Licker, sending it flying.

Alice removed her helmet and, without even turning her head, shouted at the people in the church who were being attacked by three Lickers: "Get out of the way!"

Immediately, she twisted the throttle, turned around and grabbed Cheng Shuang from behind, jumped off the motorcycle, and let the motorcycle speed into another Licker that was poised to strike. The speed and weight of the motorcycle alone were enough to send the Licker flying.

Alice reminded Cheng Shuang, "Fire!"

Cheng Shuang immediately understood and decisively fired at the location of the oil drum.

The oil drums exploded, flames shooting up everywhere. The three survivors in the church immediately found a corner to lie down, while Cheng Shuang glanced at Alice, who remained as immovable as a mountain, and thought to herself, "Wow!" She insisted that she, whose legs were weak from the shock of the explosion, not look for cover.

Following Alice's example, I faced the firelight so close yet didn't flinch. Hmm, feels like another cool day.

Alice's serious gaze softened when she caught sight of the little girl smugly shaking her head and looking vain, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This child is so adorable!

She quickly composed herself, turned around, raised both pistols, and fired simultaneously at the iron link connecting the cross.

Just before the Licker, lurking high in the corner, could pounce, the cross crashed down, landing squarely on the monster and temporarily immobilizing it.

Cheng Shuang wasn't idle either. Seeing the third Licker crawling in through the archway, she raised her weapon and launched an attack without holding back her ammunition.

The MP5KA4 has a lot of recoil. Alice can use both guns in her hands, but the little girl needs to hold her shoulders tightly to avoid the guns lifting up and losing accuracy.

Therefore, the third one died in particularly painful and agonizing way, taking several shots before finally being hit in a vital area and meeting its end.

'Ding! Successfully killing an undead monster to reach 10 points unlocks the hidden quest for the portal key—kill cannibalistic undead monsters. One zombie or zombie crow earns 1 point, one licker or zombie dog earns 2 points, one stalker or tyrant earns 3 points, and so on, with no upper limit. Calculation is automatic. As this is a hidden quest, there are no special requirements for completion, nor are there any additional rewards.'

Cheng Shuang's eyes widened slightly. It turned out that entering the movie world that could be opened with the key and meeting certain conditions could still bring up the mission mode.

Unfortunately, she missed many opportunities to accumulate points in Silent Hill.

Seeing that Cheng Shuang had resolved the problem, Alice stepped forward to the Licker who had been pinned down by the cross and finished him off with a single blow.

With the danger temporarily averted, Cheng Shuang relaxed and rubbed her shoulders, feeling a mix of happiness and slight pain.

He's really handsome, but he's also really in pain!

Being a hero is indeed not easy.

She muttered to herself, but it wasn't a complaint. She would actively cooperate with anything that could improve her strength, especially since this wasn't just training to increase her strength, but also earning points—a win-win situation! She was thrilled!

The little girl turned around and saw Alice casually pull out the shards of glass embedded in her thigh without showing any pain. It seems that evolution has not only brought her a comprehensive improvement in physical fitness. You know, when she first got off the hospital bed, she would scream and roar in pain when she pulled out those connecting wires.

One of the three survivors, a strikingly beautiful woman wielding a weapon, asked Alice in a less-than-friendly tone, "Who are you?"

Her cool and stunning appearance made Cheng Shuang unable to help but glance at her face a few more times.

The woman noticed her gaze, turned her head and looked up, "And this little one too!"

The five people gave a brief introduction in the messy church.

The beautiful woman's name is Gil Van Lunting, and her black companion, Peyton, is a former SWAT officer. The other woman, who has an Asian appearance, is a reporter named Terri.

Alice's eyes lit up when she saw the camera in Terri's hand. Raccoon City was finished, but many more cities and countries needed to know the truth. The Umbrella Corporation couldn't be allowed to cover up the truth.

Cheng Shuang keenly noticed Alice's unusual behavior and glanced at the camera in Terri's hand, immediately understanding Alice's inner turmoil. She wanted to do something that was almost like going against the world; after all, the Umbrella Corporation was incredibly powerful, its influence permeating many major capitalist countries. Exposing the darkness of the Umbrella Corporation single-handedly was, unimaginably, an incredibly difficult choice.

Now, Alice's expression was resolute, indicating that her mind had never wavered.

Terri quickly protected the camera. Although she was timid, she understood the importance of the camera at this moment and that the camera must not be damaged.

Jill said, half-jokingly and half-dissuading, "Hey, that's not a weapon!"

Alice curled her lips into a double entendre, "In a critical moment, it's a weapon!"

Fearing the atmosphere would become tense, Peiton tried to smooth things over, smiling as he said to Cheng Shuang, "Little girl, not bad! Who taught you your marksmanship?"

Cheng Shuang naturally looked at Alice. She had never had the chance to encounter so many kinds of weapons before, and she didn't know that submachine guns could be so small and accurate.

Alice smiled at her, looked at Peyton, and said in a tone that was no longer tense, "I think this is not a good place to stay for long."

The five people came out of the church. Jill seemed to be full of curiosity about Alice, and her eyes never left Alice as they walked.

Alice, holding Cheng Shuang's hand, led the way without changing her expression, asking, "What are you looking at?"

Cheng Shuang smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Because you're pretty!"

Alice raised an eyebrow and lowered her head. "Little girl, I'm not talking to you."

"Oh, so Jill thinks you're pretty too!"

Jill laughed, and the atmosphere eased a bit. "I'm not sure," she said as she walked. "How did you get into Umbrella Corporation? You're really skilled. I'm good too, but I'm nowhere near as good as you!"
