It all began as an ordinary day in
September. An ordinary day in Raccoon City,
a city controlled by Umbrella Corporation.
No one dared to oppose Umbrella, and that
lack of strength would ultimately lead to
the city's destruction.

If only they had the courage to fight...
Once the wheels of justice begin to turn,

nothing can stop them - nothing! But it may
already be too late.

Now it's Raccoon City's last chance and
my last chance ...

My last escape ...

PROLOGUE

A month and a half have passed since the
incident...
September has come to Raccoon City, a
small industrial city in the American
Midwest. People are starting to forget the
chaos at the mansion as their everyday lives
return to normal. The bizarre incident that
occurred in the Arclay Mountains, the

destruction of the special taskforce
S.T.A.R.S., Umbrella corporation's secret
biological weapons laboratory hidden in
an old mansion, the power of T-Virus that

turns humans and animals into horrible

monsters ... how could it all happen here?
People could not believe the survivors'

reports. Stories of their incredible
experiences and of strange biological
weapons and zombies were beyond the
townsfolks' imagination. The surviving
S.T.A.R.S. team members headed to Europe
even before the town heard the full details
of what had happened.

6 39

They hoped it was all over. But then it

happened again. Suddenly, a series of
inexplicable murders occurred and a
strange disease began invading

neighbourhoods.
T-Virus was flowing into the city ...
The invisible plague snuck up silently and

turned the unsuspecting citizens into

monsters.

People cursed their foolishness. But the

nightmare had already begun ...
The future was out of their control.

Raccoon City was on the brink of

collapse ...
