This type of weapon is a shotgun used for hunting large animals, or simply for collection purposes, and doesn't really have much practical combat value.

Louis Carter found this black Desert Eagle, which was actually a private collectible belonging to a certain officer in the police station.

“It's a pity it's not the .50 caliber, but .44 is good enough.”

The Desert Eagle comes in three calibers: .357, .44, and .50.

The Desert Eagle most netizens are familiar with is the .50 caliber version, but aside from the difference in magazine capacity, the three versions of the Desert Eagle don't look much different.

However, the one Louis Carter found was a bit special. When he picked up this Desert Eagle, the Mark of the Hero on his left hand suddenly sent him a message: A sturdy and durable Desert Eagle.

Chapter 10: The Protagonist

“A sturdy and durable Desert Eagle...

What the heck is this?”

When this message appeared in his mind, Louis Carter was still puzzled, but the next second he had the answer, as if he had always known it, just hadn't thought of it until now.

This black Desert Eagle, just like its name, was especially sturdy and extremely durable, but as for exactly how sturdy and durable, Louis Carter wasn't sure.

“So this is a special piece of equipment with attributes?

Why does something like this exist?”

Then again, since he had already become a hero and was about to go defeat the Demon King, having equipment with attributes seemed to fit his character setting perfectly. It actually made sense.

“What have you been thinking about all this time?”

During their time in the police station, Louis Carter seemed very quiet, just silently following everyone else. It's just that Carl and Terrell Grant had their own tasks to do, busy searching everywhere for clues about Nathaniel Bard; Bradley Harris and Marvin Howard didn't know anything about Louis Carter, so naturally they didn't find it strange.

Jill was different. When the two of them had acted together earlier, Louis Carter had 'exposed' too many suspicious points. Jill had never relaxed her surveillance of Louis Carter. Seeing him so silent during this time, Jill suspected he was secretly plotting something.

“It's nothing, just thinking about what to do after leaving Raccoon City.”

Louis Carter's answer wasn't just to brush her off. Things like defeating monsters to get rewards and improve his physical abilities, and this kind of strange equipment, all concerned his future. There was no way he wouldn't think about them at all.

During his time in the police station, because there were a lot of people acting together, everyone had plenty of ammo and firepower. He was also a 'protected civilian,' so except for when he encountered a Licker and took the opportunity to get a reward (slight agility increase), most of the time he just stayed in the group and zoned out.

“So...

Who exactly do you work for?”

Without knowing this, Jill didn't know whether she should trust Louis Carter or not. Normally, going through a crisis together would make it easy to become mutually trusting partners, but Louis Carter's unclear identity and stance made Jill worry that the two of them might actually be enemies.

“Tell the truth!”

Louis Carter gave a wry, awkward smile. “I don't even know myself.”

“……” Jill thought Louis Carter just didn't want to say, but his expression made her feel he was actually telling the truth. “A commercial spy used to working alone?”

“More like a bounty hunter who takes jobs for pay?”

Louis Carter actually wanted to say he was a rookie hero grinding levels before going to defeat the Demon King, but no normal person would believe that, so he might as well use a similar description to get by.

“Is Louis Carter your real name?”

Jill's pronunciation was similar to the English 'Louis,' and that's what everyone called Louis Carter.

“It's my real name!”

“And your full name?”

Louis Carter didn't say that his full name was just Louis Carter, with the surname Lu and given name Yi, but instead made up a surname on the spot: “Hunter!”

This surname came from a very old TV show in his previous life's memory, "Hunter."

“Louis Carter-Hunter?

That doesn't sound like a real name.”

He had just said he was a bounty hunter, and the next moment claimed his name was Hunter. That was a pretty sloppy lie, wasn't it?

While the two of them were chatting, Carl and Terrell Grant finally found a clue. They managed to contact Nathaniel Bard through the police station's internal computer.

This Dr. Bard didn't have a very good temper, but considering the guy was trapped in a hospital surrounded by monsters, it was completely understandable for him to be irritable.

Terrell Grant, who was skilled with computers, found Dr. Bard's exact location. Their next step was to head to the hospital where Dr. Bard was.

“Dr. Bard is in a hospital, which is a good thing. We can find the liquid nitrogen needed to eliminate the Nemesis while we're looking for Dr. Bard.”

Everyone was sorting through the equipment they had gathered from all over the police station. Since they only needed to arm a few people, they had actually managed to collect quite a bit.

After a quick meal to replenish calories and water, Carl took the opportunity to summarize the situation: “Dr. Bard should know where the liquid nitrogen is stored.”

With someone familiar with the hospital to help, they could save a lot of effort and wouldn't have to turn the hospital upside down, which would waste both energy and time.

“How long would it take to walk from the police station to the hospital where Dr. Bard is?”

Louis Carter was thinking about the distance between the two places, as well as the timeline of Resident Evil 3 Remake.
