Besides weapons, Louis Carter also wanted to collect some high-yield crop seeds. What was giving him a headache now was figuring out a reason to have Jill take him to the relevant shops for a look around.

As for killing more types of monsters, as long as he kept wandering around Raccoon City, that goal would be accomplished along the way.

Convincing Jill not to get on the subway and changing the outcome where the subway is blown up by the Nemesis—he was sure he could accomplish that immediately. Once Jill knew the Nemesis’s target and situation, she would definitely be willing to sacrifice herself to lure the Nemesis away, ensuring the ordinary citizens on the subway could evacuate safely.

It could be said that the original plot had already been changed by Louis Carter.

Chapter 7: Missing a Taunt Skill

On the way from the warehouse to the substation, Jill didn’t ask any questions. She simply led the way quietly, clearing out any zombies and zombie dogs they encountered.

Louis Carter didn’t initiate any conversation either; he was still thinking about what to do next.

Before he could come up with any ideas, the two of them had already arrived at the substation.

“We’re here, this is...

Ugh, this smell is disgusting!”

As soon as they entered the substation, the stench almost forced them back out. Jill couldn’t figure out what had happened here to cause such a smell.

When they reached the control room and looked through the glass in front of the console, they understood why.

“What the hell is that thing?”

The entire equipment area was covered in a thick, viscous substance. Jill turned her gaze to Louis Carter: “Do you know what that is?”

“Why would I know?”

Louis Carter spread his hands helplessly. Did Jill think he was some kind of Resident Evil encyclopedia?

Did she have to ask him about everything she didn’t recognize?

“Seeing your expression, I’m even more sure you know what that thing is.”

Jill withdrew her gaze. In fact, she had a lot of doubts and was increasingly suspicious that there was something strange about this Louis Carter. She really wanted to know what exactly this person was up to.

After fiddling with the console for a while, Jill discovered that to restore power to the subway, she would have to go down to the equipment area and turn on several deactivated devices.

Looking at the area covered in thick, unknown substances, if it were before, Jill would definitely have told Louis Carter to stay here while she went to activate the devices herself.

Now, she said nothing and just set off directly, and Louis Carter followed without being told to stay back.

The door to the high-voltage area was locked, but that was no problem for Jill, who was skilled at lockpicking. Besides, there was a set of lockpicking tools still on the corpse of a staff member in the corner.

A note posted nearby revealed that, because the key had been lost, the staff relied on this set of lockpicking tools to get in and out of the high-voltage area—these people were really something. Couldn’t they just change the lock?

Louis Carter complained inwardly, carefully observing his surroundings: this place was another “classic scene” from the Resident Evil 3 remake, one that had stunned countless players.

Although Louis Carter thought it was interesting to see this scene in person—after all, there were two green herbs from the Arklay Mountains right nearby, so there was no need to worry about Jill ending up like the person in the corner—he couldn’t guarantee that the monster would definitely go after Jill. What if it came for him?

“I really don’t want to experience that!”

“What did you say?”

Focused on picking the lock, Jill didn’t catch Louis Carter’s muttering. She asked casually but didn’t hear Louis Carter’s reply. She shot him a strange look and saw that Louis Carter was holding his gun, carefully watching their surroundings. “Is something up?”

She immediately stopped picking the lock. Jill picked up the shotgun standing nearby, and in the next second, Louis Carter had already pulled the trigger.

In full-auto mode, the M4A1 carbine unleashed a torrent of bullets. Amidst a series of gunshots and piercing screams, a monster—impossible to describe—fell from the ceiling, struggled a bit, and finally died.

Louis Carter kept aiming his gun for a while. When he saw a glowing orb appear and enter his left hand, gaining an “Agility Boost,” he made sure the thing was truly dead before lowering his weapon. Only then did Jill get a good look at the monster.

“What the hell is that thing?”

But instead of an answer, her question was met with a baffling remark from Louis Carter: “You should thank me!

Otherwise, you’d have learned the hard way what it means to suffer for speaking out of turn...” “What do you mean?”

Louis Carter didn’t explain. Seeing he wouldn’t answer, Jill rolled her eyes at him and continued picking the lock. After opening the door, she got a reminder from Louis Carter: “Be careful, there should be a lot of those monsters in here.”

This place had already become a monster nest. Fortunately, these mutated creatures were very fragile and could be killed easily.

The only thing to watch out for was that these monsters could pop out from anywhere, and the thick, viscous substance provided them with cover. You might think there’s nothing nearby, only for one to suddenly jump out and pounce on you.

To ensure safety, the two of them advanced cautiously—not quickly, but handling all the ambushes well. After Louis Carter received a moderate agility boost and several minor boosts, he restarted the deactivated power equipment.
