12. frozen anger
As he kept his eyes on the monitor, he remembered his call back then.
..........
(I hope you haven't underestimated Chris Redfield. Only he... can match me. And only he can make my eyes change and respond to it.)
..........
Just thinking about it made him silent and unable to do anything to rebel.
----------------
About 1 hour and 20 minutes before the incident started.
----------------
Chris is still fighting the ship's crew.
He continued to shoot non-stop. even when someone released the parasite and attacked chris, he quickly dodged and shot straight until the parasite exploded.
Even though he was tired, Chris was able to defeat all of them alone. He tried to observe one of the crew members of the ship he shot earlier.
(I'm sure they must have been infected with some kind of virus. How strange. I think I've seen this mutation before.)
Even though...
----------------
"Chris, you can't keep a woman waiting."
----------------
"Jill.."
For some reason, he even thought of Jill. But he then got up and went straight to Cassandra, who was still looking for a way out of the ceiling aisle.
Even so, he still wasn't aware that someone was watching him from the start. Pretty much the same as the others...
***************
About 1 hour before the incident started.
..........
Chris finally arrived in the vicinity of cabin 021. Although he had not found Cassandra, he saw traces of rotting blood instead. He suspected that there had been an unexpected battle.
"Cassandra. I'm here. Where are you?"
"Still on the ceiling. You can hear it, can't you?"
Chris studied the voice carefully. Until the end..
"Yeah!"
He then fired. Oddly enough. Instead he shot right in front of cabin 031.
Whether it was a coincidence or not, Chris's shot knocked one of the BOWs down instantly.
Even though he just happened to shoot.
(Now I know why you're still stuck there.)
It's hard to believe that what Chris shot was none other than Licker.
"I'll distract the Licker. You better find a way to get out of there ASAP"
"Understood!"
The fight was inevitable. Chris was able to dodge the attack from the licker that was about to ensnare his hands with their long tongues. On the other hand, Chris had a little difficulty aiming because the movement of the licker was a bit of a hassle.
He then readied his grenade. Luckily, Chris managed to dodge when the Licker attacked him again. And when there was an opening, he then threw a grenade at the licker.
And...
Boom!!!...
Licker's body was immediately shattered by the grenade explosion.
Chris thought it was just one licker, but he didn't expect that three more would come and prepare to attack him. Like it or not, he had to throw another grenade at the lickers, even though he had to be exhausted from continuing to fight against the lickers without stopping.
Chris might have managed to beat all the lickers in front of him.
"You can come out now!"
Just then he heard another sound. At first he raised his weapon, but he immediately lowered his weapon when he saw that Cassandra had fallen from the ceiling.
"Are you alright?"
"Yeah! I'm fine. DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME CHRIS!" She said with a smile
For some reason, Cassandra's words made Chris think of Jill again.
Realizing that Chris was silent again, Cassandra immediately took Chris' hand and stood up.
"Listen, chris. I know that deep down, you still feel guilty about what you went through. But listen to me. It will be even worse if we can't save all the victims on this cruise. You have to be tough, chris! OK? "
Hearing that, Chris calmed down first. Somehow what Cassandra said had brought him back to his senses.
"You're right."
Seeing chris come back tough. Make Cassandra relieved. Although she was not aware of the injuries he suffered.
"Okay. Before I forget, I have to tell you about the information I stumbled upon. However, I'll explain later since we have to get to cabin 065. We need a key to access the cruise ship's radio communications room which is on the top floor."
Chris listened carefully to Cassandra's explanation.
