...The Arclay Mountains...

A bizarre incident occured in the Arclay Mountains just outside of Raccoon City about four years ago. Both special taskforce STARS teams had been terminated by the Umbrella Corporation's secret biological weapon scientifically named the "T-Virus". The T-Virus duplicated out of the control of scientists and started to turn humans and animals into terrifying, blood-thirsty beasts. People could not believe the survivors' reports. Stories of these incredible experiences and of the strange biological weapons and zombies were beyond the townsfolks' imagination. The surviving STARS team members headed to Europe even before the town heard the full details of what had happened earlier. They hoped it was all over, but then it started again. Suddenly, a series of inexplicable murders occured and a strange disease began spreading throughout neighborhoods. The T-Virus was flowing into Raccoon City...This invisible plague snuck silently and turned the unsuspecting citizens into flesh-eating monsters. People cursed their foolishness, but their nightmare was far from over. Raccoon City was about to encounter the worst terror imaginable...
The reign of the undead...
