"So, the root of all evil is this Evelyn!?" Zack, sitting in front of the computer, seemed to be pondering.
"Yeah! Who would have thought! The story of 'Resident Evil' is like this." Hannah next to him was also feeling a bit emotional.
Because there are two versions of this game, Zack didn't play the VR version.
Of course, he was a little scared!
Moreover, the VR version has a very big drawback, which is that you can only face unknown terrors alone.
Unlike the PC version, where two people can play together, which is its biggest advantage!
At first, Zack was also quite scared, but after playing for a while, he took down the One-Punch Man father-in-law, the bug-loving mother-in-law, and the gadget-expert brother-in-law, successfully creating a serum and giving it to his wife Mia. After that, he felt that the horror of the game decreased rapidly.
More and more weapons and equipment made him feel like this game had become an FPS game.
After all, as everyone knows, fear comes from insufficient firepower, and with sufficient firepower, you won't be so afraid.
He even felt it was quite fun.
And playing to this point, with the various events along the way and the collected notes and videos, he, who was initially confused about the entire game story, finally understood what was going on.
The Baker family that Ethan fought along the way weren't that strange after all.
The One-Punch Man father-in-law, Jack Baker, was really just an honest farmer. Three years ago, Jack, the head of the family, heard that there seemed to be a shipwreck at sea, so he ran early in the morning to see if he could help. And here, he picked up Mia and a ten-year-old girl named Evelyn.
At this time, Mia was in bad shape and a little delirious, so the kind Jack Baker and his wife decided to temporarily take in and help Mia and Evelyn.
But things weren't that simple, because Mia wasn't just a nanny, as she told Ethan at the beginning.
Her real identity was a special agent for a large company, and Evelyn wasn't a little girl, but a bio-weapon experimental subject created by this company.
The shipwrecked ship was the ship that Mia and the company were using to transport Evelyn, and the shipwreck was also planned by Evelyn.
She deeply infected all the crew on the ship and created chaos and explosions, and successfully escaped with Mia.
As for why she didn't kill Mia, because she had been subjected to human biochemical experiments as an experimental subject since she was a child and had an obsession, which was to have a home and feel the warmth of a family.
And Mia was the mother she chose. After being taken in by the Bakers, she controlled the Baker family and made them kidnap passersby to form a family.
Anyone infected by Evelyn would be controlled by her, which is why Ethan could feel Mia in the battle, and even Jack had a moment of normalcy.
At the same time, after Ethan arrived, Evelyn knew that Ethan was the father she wanted.
So, Evelyn thought about controlling Ethan and infecting him.
"I wonder if Mia can be successfully rescued in the end! Please don't be like the previous 'Assassin's Creed'." At this time, Zack was a little worried.
At first, he was scared by Mia, but as the plot progressed and various weapons and the truth of the matter were revealed one by one, he didn't feel much fear.
Especially in the previous ship cabin level, Mia stubbornly resisted Evelyn's control, forcibly rescued Ethan from the hyphae, and handed him the viral serum that could end everything, and then locked herself in the ship cabin to avoid hurting Ethan again.
At that time, Mia looked crazy, but she still used her reason to fight Evelyn for control of her body, and shouted 'I love you Ethan, go!' which made Zack fully feel the emotional bond between Ethan and Mia.
But it was this situation that made Zack worried.
He wasn't afraid that the bond wasn't deep, but he was afraid that the bond was too deep, causing a certain designer to kill them off!
"Probably not, right? This has already scared the players so badly." Hannah said a little nervously.
This was his honest thought, at least that's what he thought when he played the PC version.
The feeling of not being able to take everything away and having to leave something behind was simply terrifying.
It even made Zack feel that this wasn't Resident Evil, but Inventory Crisis.
He looked at his equipment again, made some choices, and picked up the bullets.
Zack embarked on the final journey, and following the guidance of the mission, he went deep into the mine all the way, killing all kinds of mutated fungus beasts along the way.
The most disgusting thing for Zack was the two fatties, who not only spat mucus, but also had thick health bars.
It took him a long time to kill them.
But at this time, this kind of monster couldn't scare Zack anymore.
Because the weapons and ammunition on his body gave him infinite confidence.
After killing the fat fungus beasts, he passed through the intricate mine and opened the wooden boards blocking the road.
Behind the wooden boards was a small room, and the first thing he saw was Evelyn's wheelchair.
Because of being an experimental subject, Evelyn's body would age 25 times faster if she wasn't treated.
When Ethan was eating happily with the family at the beginning, the old man sitting in the wheelchair next to him was Evelyn, but Zack didn't care about that anymore.
But at this time, a doll caught his attention.
"Hey! This doll! Isn't this the basement when we first entered the game!" Zack recalled.
At first, he played it on VR, but after Mia abused him, he switched from VR to the PC platform, and he didn't recognize it for a while.
After going around in a circle, he came back here? The place where the dream began?
And at this moment, Ethan seemed to be having some hallucinations.
Mia's figure was standing there, grabbing her hair and shouting with a look of collapse: "It's here! It's here! I won't remember it wrong!"
This was the scene when Mia couldn't find the way back then.
Seeing this, Zack also felt a little excited.
This feeling was like when he played Dark Souls, when he was beaten up by Teacher Guda in various ways at the beginning, but after filling up all the equipment and buffs in the high level playthrough, he pulled out Teacher Guda's spiral sword and beat him up together until Teacher Guda didn't even finish the second form or even the cutscene before kneeling down.
Then he casually said: As everyone knows, Gray Guda doesn't have a second form.
The current Ethan wasn't the Ethan that just came over with only a wire cutter and a flashlight!
Standing in the basement room, Zack took out 'hand sanitizer' and washed his hands.
At this time, Zack could also feel that Ethan was a bit abnormal.
Leaving aside everything else, if washing hands was a game setting, then his hand that was cut off before was stitched up by his little aunt with a stapler and she even gave him a smart watch, and now he was having hallucinations. Obviously, Ethan had also been infected.
But what did it matter?
"Evelyn? After I wash my hands, I'll kill you!"
