Plot[]
In 1998, as the Raccoon City incident begins, the Umbrella Corporation hires a private military firm to help evacuate high-ranking Umbrella executives and government officials. The firm deploys Unit 6, but the majority are bitten by zombies. Surviving members JJ and Dylan Blake call headquarters to request extraction and receive medical attention, but are told to quarantine, later kill, their comrades, shocking JJ and enraging Dylan. The pair argue until the infected soldiers attack them and bite JJ. A disheartened Dylan subsequently kills him.
Seventeen years later in 2015, after the events of Resident Evil: Vendetta,[5] in San Francisco, California, Field Operations Support (FOS) agent Ingrid Hunnigan tasks Division of Security Operations (DSO) agent Leon S. Kennedy with taking DARPA researcher and robotics engineer Doctor Antonio Taylor into custody for selling classified information to foreign powers. During the briefing, Leon learns Taylor was last seen being kidnapped by an unknown group while being hunted by a San Francisco Police Department S.W.A.T. team as the group drives by him. Leon attempts to intercept the kidnappers, but is thwarted by Maria Gomez, a criminal who survived their last encounter the year prior.[c] Meanwhile, Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA) advisor Rebecca Chambers informs Agent Chris Redfield of twelve cases wherein people had died after being mysteriously infected by an advanced strain of the T-virus and were found with needle marks on their bodies. Chris visits his partner Jill Valentine, hoping to stop her from taking part in the operation due to her time under Albert Wesker's mind control and subsequent mental health issues,[d] but she refuses.
Chris and Jill meet with Rebecca and Chris's sister Claire Redfield to discuss their findings, during which Claire reveals she discovered an orca infected with the same T-virus strain as the victims from Chris's case swimming near the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary, which had also happened recently to several missing whales. Discovering the human victims all visited Alcatraz Island before they died, Jill and the Redfields travel there posing as tourists, but get separated amidst a zombie outbreak. While exploring the sewers, Jill encounters Leon and joins him in fending off a new form of Lickers before eventually reaching the armory, where they find blueprints for mosquito-like drones used to infect people with the virus, before they are captured by Dylan and thrown into a prison cell with Taylor and the Redfields. Believing there is no justice in the world, Dylan uses the drones to infect the Redfields and Leon, sparing Jill so she can witness her friends die like how he was forced to watch his team die in Raccoon City. He then reveals that he has taken over arm's dealer Glenn Arias's crime syndicate and joined forces with Maria, who seeks revenge for her father Diego's death, before fatally shooting Taylor and escaping to use his drones on the world. As he dies, Taylor gives Claire a code for controlling the drones. While Jill pursues Dylan, she encounters Rebecca, who prepared a vaccine for the group and came to help them, before curing the Redfields and Leon, with the latter going after Maria and killing her after a brutal confrontation.
The Redfields, Jill, Leon, and Rebecca regroup to fight Dylan, who merges himself with a bio-organic weapon and overpowers the group. Claire and Rebecca take control of Dylan's drones and program them to infect him, weakening him enough for Jill, Leon, and Chris to kill him with explosives and a rocket launcher. As the group awaits BSAA rescue helicopters, Chris praises Jill's heroism.
