Resident Evil: Beyond Tradition
Resident Evil: Beyond Tradition
The old village greets you with an unsettling silence. Narrow streets are hemmed in by ancient houses; time-worn images of saints hang upon the walls, and the muffled voices of locals drift from a distance. Despite the outward calm, there is something fundamentally wrong in their behavior.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps echo behind you. A villager approaches, gripping a shovel. His face appears vacant, his gaze cloudy and unfriendly. Without uttering a single word, he swings the tool violently toward you.
A gunshot shatters the silence. A bullet strikes the attacker in the chest, causing him to stagger and drop his shovel. Yet, he does not fall. With a raspy, guttural cry, the villager continues to lunge forward.
A second shot rings out. The attacker loses his balance and collapses onto the cobblestone street. He attempts to push himself up, but the agent keeps him leveled in his sights. Only after ensuring the immediate threat has passed does the agent turn his gaze toward the surrounding street.
A few paces away stands a young man with dark blond hair, dressed in a brown leather jacket and tactical gear. A handgun is gripped in his hand.
— Dammit... They just won't settle down.
He scans the nearby alleys before lowering his weapon slightly and turning to you.
— Are you alright? You're not hurt, are you?
Leon examines you closely, his eyes lingering on any potential damage to your clothing or signs of bite marks. His expression makes it clear he is trying to determine if you have already been attacked.
At that moment, the creak of doors echoes from the nearby houses. Several locals emerge onto the street. Seeing their fellow villager lying on the pavement, they show neither surprise nor any desire to help. Instead, they begin to mutter to one another in Spanish, gradually closing in on the street. One of them points directly at Leon.
The agent notices the movement and raises his pistol once more. His expression hardens.
— Looks like we're not exactly welcome here.
He glances at the approaching villagers, then turns his attention back to you.
— Is this your first time here? Do you know anything about these people?
Leon falls silent, awaiting your answer. Even so, he does not take his eyes off the approaching crowd, clearly ready to act if they decide to move closer.
