"Tell me, how do you plan to help me, Mr. Bigshot?" Jill opened her front door and led Zhou Yi inside without any hesitation. She didn't seem to care that Zhou Yi was a man and she was a woman. As soon as she entered, she kicked off her high heels and flopped onto the sofa barefoot.
Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow, wanting to find a place to sit and discuss his plan with this heavily intoxicated woman. However, he realized that besides the sofa she was lying on, there wasn't really anywhere else to sit in the entire room.
Cigarette butts and liquor bottles littered the floor, along with quite a few articles of women's clothing tossed around haphazardly. Zhou Yi really didn't want to imagine how this woman usually took care of herself, but he could certainly guess that it was a disaster.
After waiting for a while without getting a response from Zhou Yi, Jill finally lifted her head. She glanced around, slightly dazed, and then looked at Zhou Yi, who was standing there as if he couldn't find a place to put his feet. She let out a self-deprecating laugh.
"Haven't you, a big shot like you, ever been inside a woman's place? Oh, maybe you haven't seen a woman as run-down as me."
"Maybe," Zhou Yi shrugged, having already revealed his identity. "Women like you are truly rare, Miss Valentine. If you don't mind, could you perhaps make some space for me?"
"Okay, of course, no problem. As soon as I can sit up," Jill began swaying, trying to stand up, but unfortunately, her arms couldn't support her own weight. When she plopped back down onto the sofa with a thud, Zhou Yi didn't see her move again.
This drunk woman had actually fallen asleep. And she'd done so after bringing a man she'd just met back to her home. Even Zhou Yi didn't know how to describe this woman. He felt that terms like "careless" and "unrestrained" didn't even begin to cover it. He couldn't even find a suitable word to describe her.
"Miss Valentine, Miss Valentine!" Zhou Yi called out again and again, but Jill didn't react at all. This situation made Zhou Yi sigh directly. He spoke as if talking to himself, and also as if explaining to the drunken woman.
"I'm sorry, Miss Valentine. If you don't wake up, I can only use some special methods. Counting down from five, five, four, three, two, one. Alright!"
Jill's continued unconsciousness forced Zhou Yi to use special methods. He picked up the woman who was sleeping soundly and took her to the bathroom. Although the bathroom wasn't big, it did have a decent bathtub. Zhou Yi put Jill directly into the bathtub.
The rushing water, carrying rising steam, gradually filled the bathtub. Most of Jill's body was quickly immersed in the warm water. She seemed to feel something was wrong while asleep, but it was like she was experiencing a nightmare. Although she furrowed her brow, she still didn't wake up.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi could only apologize. To make Jill wake up as soon as possible, he directly poured a cup of cold water on her face.
The stimulation of the ice water made her unable to stay in her dream any longer, and she opened her eyes directly. However, she was still in a daze.
"Where is this? How am I here? Damn it, my head hurts so much!"
"This is your own bathroom, Miss Valentine. Do you remember me?" Zhou Yi supported her shoulders, preventing her from swaying. But her condition was far from what Zhou Yi had hoped for.
"Oh, I remember you. You're that rich guy with the messed-up head. Damn it, how did you get in my house? Get out, you hear me? Or I'm calling the cops."
"You are the police, Miss Valentine!" Zhou Yi kindly reminded her, not wanting to be harassed by this drunken woman. "Also, you brought me back here, remember?"
"Really?" Jill's eyes were filled with distrust as she tugged on Zhou Yi's sleeve, muttering, "I think you're lying to me. How could I bring a man back to my house? You're not my anything."
"Come on, miss. Could you please clear your head first?" Zhou Yi impatiently picked up a glass and poured her some water, placing it in front of her. "Drink some water first. Don't you know you're already completely drunk?"
"I'm drunk? How could that be?" Jill retorted unconvincingly. "I was the best drinker in the police academy back then. Taking down twenty big guys on my own was no problem. How could I be drunk?"
That's clearly drunk, Zhou Yi thought, rolling his eyes. He didn't believe anyone could drink enough to take down twenty people. Even if you could, drinking a liter of water would knock you out, let alone alcohol. Besides, a person who doesn't even remember bringing someone home claiming she isn't drunk is just unbelievable.
"Think again, we met at a bar today. You were even taught a lesson by me, and I disarmed you. Remember now?"
"I think I have a little memory of that." Jill picked up the glass of water and took two sips. However, her expression quickly changed. Her ashen face and the gesture of covering her mouth immediately made it clear what she was about to do.
Zhou Yi's expression changed when he saw her like this. He quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey, do you feel like throwing up? Hold on, I'll pull you up right away."
"I can't hold it back, ugh!"
Following Jill's retching, a large amount of vomit spewed from her mouth. This foul substance not only splattered onto Jill, but also onto the bathroom floor. The entire bathroom was filled with an unbearable, sour stench. If Zhou Yi hadn't dodged quickly, he probably would have been in a sorry state too.
"Oh, damn it!" Zhou Yi couldn't help but cover his head, looking at the mess. When he turned around, he found that the person who caused the mess had fallen asleep again. And this time, she was sleeping even more soundly, to the point where Zhou Yi felt he couldn't wake her up at all.
In fact, at this point, he had given up trying. Rather than letting her be in a daze and muddle through, it was better to let her sleep it off and then talk about the other problems. But now, even letting her have a good sleep was a problem.
Looking at Jill's dirty clothes and the mess all over the floor, Zhou Yi sighed and took off his jacket.
The sound of water dripping began again, this time lasting for a long time. When they came out again, Jill had changed. She only had a towel wrapped around her chest, and she was sound asleep, being carried out by Zhou Yi.
After dumping the woman, who was sleeping like a pig, onto her bed, he slumped onto the sofa, exhausted. This whole ordeal felt more tiring than a fight. He'd seen women drunk before, but never one so unrestrained.
But he didn't blame her. Her experiences had been too heavy for a woman to bear, and it was commendable that she'd maintained such a strong facade. His appearance had simply allowed her to vent the emotions she'd bottled up, otherwise, she wouldn't have revealed herself in this way to a stranger.
"Looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow." Seeing the ashtray in front of him overflowing with cigarette butts, Zhou Yi lit a cigarette and leaned back on the sofa, relaxing. He was still contemplating how to perfect his plan. And as he was thinking, Natasha's communicator lit up.
"Where are you?" Zhou Yi heard Natasha's somewhat urgent voice the moment he answered the communicator. Something serious seemed to have happened.
"I'm in a safe place. What's up? Do you need my help?"
"Listen. Things have changed!" Natasha interrupted him. "Umbrella seems to have a major plan, and they've started evacuating their important personnel from the city. Also, they're looking for you! Not to protect you, they seem to have some bad intentions towards you!"
"Wow, that's great news. So, you've already gotten what you wanted?" Zhou Yi consciously ignored the issue of his safety in Natasha's words and directly asked about the results of her trip.
"I've already gotten what we need, and there's an added surprise. But now, I need to run. Umbrella seems to want to use me to find you, so I think it's better if I disappear!"
"Need a hand? I can get those tailing guys off your back in no time."
"No, I'm a professional." Without seeing Natasha's face, Zhou Yi knew she must be wearing a confident smile. "I've prepared all my escape routes. You're just my last resort. Now isn't the time to use you."
"Alright, suit yourself." Zhou Yi shrugged. Since Natasha said she didn't need his help, he wouldn't force it. He just gave a slight reminder. "Remember, if there's any problem, contact me immediately. I'll be there as soon as possible."
Natasha's laughter immediately followed.
"Are you worried about me? How flattering. Don't worry, I'm not the type to joke around with my life."
"Of course, you're a beautiful woman, and beautiful women always have some privileges. Isn't that what you told me?" Zhou Yi responded with an honest smile to Natasha's teasing.
"Good. I hope you keep that attitude in mind. Now, I have to apologize, those guys behind me are getting closer. I don't want them to hear our chat. So, I'll contact you later. But there's something else I need to tell you."
"Umbrella's making big moves. I suspect they've lost control of what they have. I've reported this to the General Bureau. They've decided to send people to intervene. It won't be long. If you have any plans, you might consider them!"
"Thank you, Natasha. I will," Zhou Yi said, ending the communication and pinching the bridge of his nose. He realized that things were developing much faster than he had anticipated, but that was actually a good thing. The more rushed things were, the less time Umbrella would have to react.
However, the same applied to him; he would also have less time to prepare. He wondered how many people would survive the impending disaster. How many could his preparations save? Only time would tell.
Some people don't like the Resident Evil plot, so I'll try to streamline it. The Resident Evil part is actually quite important. If the mutant storyline is about recruiting people, then Resident Evil is about staking out territory. Also, I realized I don't have any drafts. One more chapter, coming soon!
