CHAP 6: Escape

After copying some of Cutthroat's traits, i started elaborating a plan to get us out of this situation, either by escaping or by killing all guards and locking the door, the problem with the latter being getting out after, but it seem as if there is no other option.

"Okay, fellas. We probably need to secure this place, I'm not accostumated to your particular abilities so simply do as you see fit, as long as all guards in this place are neutralized and the doors closed."

They nodded, probably because i simply coordinated the individual actions they would take anyways. Courier did some drifts and shot at the guards, while Hacker used his drones to shoot lasers and Cutthroat started throwing all different kinds of knifes she took out of her coat, Brawler continued simply punching and throwing the guards around, i do not have a way to attack from afar and don't have Brawler's capacity to take damage, and Doctor simply seemed to not care much, only throwing some bottles which knocked out some enemies.

It was more of a beatdown then a fight, which made the previous elaborated plans i had tought about be for nothing, i am overstimating the police force of this world because of the monsters that are the Akudama i know and the bosses of Resident Evil, but I'd rather prevent than remedy. Olivia was understandably scared seeing so much corpses and violence, but if she wants to survive the future zombies she better get used to those kind of scenes. I like her and having a pair of hands controlled by the best of control, meaning the feeling of love, is always helpful. I'm sure she has a crush on me now, since she didn't immediately freak out when i told her i was an Akudama, which is true if you consider my past life.

Seeing my new status, i silently commemorated and walked in the direction of one of the guard's corpses, from which i picked up a revolver and some extra rounds. Using {Observe}, i was granted this description.

| Chiappa Rhino

An revolver, lightweight and it shoots from the bottom cilinder, unlike other revolvers. DMG is 50 and it has a 3x critical multiplier and 10x headshot.|

So the future in my old world is now standard for the police department? That's technology for ya, if i am not wrong they made self-aiming bullets in Cyberpunk, so a weapon like this must be very old fashioned. I like it though, and my {gun proficiency} makes it more powerful and easier to handle.

As i was inspecting the gun, i felt Cutthroat approaching and something being clasped around my neck.

"What is this?"

Brawler asked with his finger on the collar.

"An bomb!"

Cutthroat responded playfully

"I could simply take it off"

He responded.

"Meeeeeow!"

The cat in Olivia's head loudly meowed, had forgot it was there.

"It looks like everyone is here"

It talks? Okay then.

"I'm your contractor, your payment will be sent when you get us out of here, it should be easy with you specific abilities. And do not try to take the bombs off, they will explode should you try."

"Our contractor is a cat?"

Brawler asked confused.

"We should put those matter aside and focus and getting out of here"

"I agree with Charlatan-kun, we should get out of here. The problem is, through which path?"

"Hacker, can you project the prison's plants for us to see?"

"I can, wait a moment"

He started tapping on his holographic keyboards and soon we were seeing the prison's map in 3D, i quickly analyzed it and reached an conclusion, the easiest way out would be through the laboratory, but the fact i am in a part Resident Evil world makes me hesitant in what we would find there.

"The labs are the easiest way, what do you think, Charlatan-san?"

"I got a bad feeling about the labs, but going through them would save some time"

Hacker nodded.

"I don't see anything dangerous about the labs on the server, so i say we go through there"

"Through the lab we go then"

Please don't have monsters, please.

'Game, will there be monsters?'

[It depends on what you call a monster]

Fuck, that means monsters. Well, no going back now.

We started walking in the direction of the door that led to the lab. When we arrived Hacker started hacking the lockdown protocol, but Brawler simply punched the door open. The door was less durable then i thought, but Umbrella doesn't really have an exemplar security if we are to consider the games.

The sirens stopped sounding, so Hacker's override of the lockdown system was complete. As expected the labs had that same hospital feeling of the prison's corridor, there were no cientists at sight, so either they are hiding or they were escorted out. As we walked through the corridors we saw the aftermath of Umbrella's experiments behind the bullet-proof glass, some completely dismorphed corpses, pools of blood and organs as if an living being had exploded from the inside out and some animals which had completely mutated, gaining biomass and starting to necrose. Just as we would enter the "sucesseful experiments" ward, the lights went out.

Fuck horror games.
