End of the road



"End of the road" is the fifth and final story scenario in Resident Evil Outbreak File 2. Its objective is to escape Raccoon City with or without the cure.

Plot
In the early hours of 1 October 1998, Linda; an Umbrella researcher, argues with a USS mercenary; Rodriguez. She needs to head back to a laboratory to get something very important. Rodriguez gives in, warning her that he will leave her in the helicopter if she does not arrive in time.

Meanwhile at Umbrella's Raccoon City headquarters, a refugee by the name of David King kills a zombie with an iron pipe, saving another researcher. Linda arrives afterwards and is nearly killed by the man, who mistakes her for another zombie. Linda recognizes her colleague as Carter. After two other refugees show up, Carter reveals that he and Linda are looking for the cure to the t-Virus. Suddenly, a Biohazard alarm sounds and the facility goes in to lock down. Linda and Carter part to perform their tasks: Linda goes to an adjacent laboratory to find the sample while Carter retreats to a special lab.

The three refugees search the facility for a keycard, which they find on the body of a researcher killed by the source of the biohazard alarm; an escaped Hunter R. After retrieving the card, the three gain entrance to a large storage room. In it are three more Hunter Rs. Luckily, a highly powerful laser system acts as a barrier, stopping the creatures from attacking. Heading upstairs, they find Carter.

Inside his laboratory, Carter types on a computer near a storage tube. He is trying to open it. Asking the group to write the MO disk, they comply and head to a library, where it is written with the command program. Finishing in the lab, they return it to Carter, who puts it into the computer.

The tube slowly opens as Linda enters with the sample. The occupant is the Tyrant R. Based on his programming, he does not attack the survivors. Instead, he jumps out of the window into the Hunter "cage" below, quickly slaughtering them before leaving. Carter reveal to Linda that a bomb was implanted in the Tyrant, and that he is in possession of the detonator. Although he is impressed by the former Human, Linda treats it with suspicion. The Tyrant overhears Carter; who has underestimated its intelligence, and plots its betrayal.

When Linda and Carter reach the back exit, the creature makes its attack. He knocks Carter into the railings and pushes Linda and the sample over the edge. Carter struggles to reach the detonator, but it falls into the sewers moments before the Tyrant delivers a final, fatal blow. Turning his attention to David, the three run away from it, hoping to find another way out of the building.

Crawling under an access panel, the three make it to an elevator and escape into the sewers. Believing they had finally lost it, the relentless foe is revealed to have simply walked back to the room it killed Carter in and jumped off the ledge. It lands in front of the three and begins its pursuit again.

The three finally escape the creature by heading through deserted tunnels. Finding Linda, she reveals to David that the t-Virus which has destroyed Raccoon City is in fact an Umbrella experiment. Water suddenly gushes from the sewers and floods the the room, sweeping Linda away.

Resurfacing under the Apple Inn, Linda crosses the street to find shelter. Above the highway, a U.B.C.S. sniper by the name of Arnold shoots her, mistaking her for a zombie. Unsure of whom he hit, he has little care and simply looks out for more zombies. An Umbrella executive; Tommy, reminds him of his orders: to secure the 'package'. Aiming his rifle in Tommy's direction, he fires... striking a zombie in the head.

Also escaping the sewers, David is forced to dodge the gunfire as he tries to cross the street and save the wounded Linda, who made it to the inn. Meanwhile, the Tyrant has also escaped the sewers; injured. It begins to transform into its "Super Tyrant" state.

While Linda is on their way to the helicopter, Arnold has left the highway and onto a nearby office. He begins berating at Tommy for not warning him of what the government's intention is; to destroy the city in a missile attack, with them still in it. Arnold leaves, knowing that staying any longer will mean certain death. Arnold leaves his men with Tommy to complete the objective - to capture Rodriguez and retrieve 'the package', something that he stole from Tommy. Rodriguez overhears the missile warning on his radio, and judges that he cannot possibly wait for Linda any further.

Evacuating without the survivors, Rodriguez is surprised to see Tommy aiming a Missile launcher at him. Swerving to avoid the missiles, he escapes death. However, the cable securing the package to the helicopter loosens, and drops down onto the highway.

Several U.B.C.S. mercenaries surround the crate. Suddenly, the crate is dented from the inside. A mercenary is pulled to the ground, with the others firing at the attacker before they too fall. Their bodies are pulled into the increasing mass of the creature; Nyx, which feeds by absorbing its victims directly into its form.

The survivors head up the stairs, unaware of the new threat. Large pools of blood on the staircase reveal that the remaining mercenaries were unable to defend themselves from the zombies. At the top, they design a make-shift bridge for Linda to cross the gap, and climb onto the highway.

Seeing nothing at first, the Tyrant R-R climbs onto the highway from the other side. Suddenly, it is pulled back as Nyx absorbs it into its body; the Tyrant is unable to free itself. The survivors are forced to defeat the creature through the numerous weapons laying around: a Rocket Launcher; an Assault Rifle; the Tyrant's detonator and a pile of ammunition. Defeated, the creature dissolves into a pool of liquid, freeing the dead mercenaries and the unconscious Tyrant.

The survivors and Linda escape on a military transport truck and escape the city moments before it is destroyed by the US Air Force - Mission Code XX.

Linda, although saddened by how it had to end, feels pride in herself that she has the sample; Humanity can rebuild.
