Leon Chapter 1

Leon Chapter 1 is the opening level in Resident Evil 6's Leon Story. It takes place in June 2013, in the fictional American city of "Tall Oaks".

Plot summary
After being forced to kill President Adam Benford, Leon and Helena Harper unite to investigate the terrorists responsible. Based on a tip-off from Helena, Leon agrees to go with her to Tall Oaks Cathedral, which is outside of town. Leon convinces Helena to ease-up on their new mission by helping a survivor find his daughter, Liz. He offers the two safe passage through town in his car in exchange for doing so. Unfortunately for the pair, Liz transforms into a zombie in the elevator ride to the underground car park and kills her father. Leon is convinced to give up his attempts to save people when he witnesses the last few survivors die hopeless deaths on a security camera.

Leon and Helena, after much effort against the university's active security system, finally reach a police cruiser just outside the complex, which they use to head to the Cathedral. A zombie revealing its presence on the hood causes Leon to crash and overturn the cruiser, leaving him and Helena stranded. As the streets become too dangerous to simply walk through, the duo is forced into the underground, where they travel through town via the subway lines.

They surface to find the city in such a state structurally and socially that some civilians are dying without actually being in contact with zombies. The two find a group of armed civilians outside a gunshop and decide to help them. Soon after, the reinforced group moves into the gunshop, but are not allowed upstairs because the shop owner does not trust that they will keep the zombies out. During the defence, Peter loses his temper and runs outside after having stolen his girlfriend's pistol, but is killed almost immediately.

Eventually, the group is allowed upstairs with the gunshop owner, who reveals that a bus driver is about to come by the shop to pick hum up. The group heads off to the roof, where they climb into the bus safely. Unfortunately, before they can leave a Whopper grabs the bus and holds it up as the survivors are being attacked.

The Gun Shop Owner is dragged out of the bus, one of the other survivors tries to rescue him is also taken down by the zombies. Before they die, the gunshop owner releases a grenade, killing themselves and the zombies. After some effort, the Whopper is knocked back and the driver drives forward and rams into it, killing the Whooper. They then leave and make their way to the Cathedral.

Further notes
When walking through the front room of a (seemingly-) dead family lounging on their furniture, the television will continuously deliver a news report and lose signal. The news report regards the sudden disappearance of a submarine some three days earlier. This is in reference to the ending of Ada Chapter 1.
