Guide to Resident Evil 1 (Rebirth Version). Uncover the zombie outbreak in Raccoon City, explore the Spencer Mansion, and escape the Tyrant.
July 24, 1998
Raccoon City, a mid-western U.S. town is experiencing reports of cannibalism near its forest. The local police department sends in a special force to stop it, called STARS, Special Tactics and Rescue Service, to seek information about it. Umbrella Inc, a pharmaceutical, also controls Raccoon City. The STARS are divided into 2 teams, Bravo and Alpha. Bravo heads in first. Bravo team is consisted of Rebecca Chambers, Enrico Marini, Forest Speyer, Richard Aiken, Ed Dewey and Kenneth Sullivan. Enrico Marini was the team's leader.
Bravo Team heads to the forest in the Arklay Mountains. They investigate the origins of the zombies that wandered into Raccoon City. A day later, Alpha Team loses communication with Bravo Team. Albert Wesker decides to send in the other STARS Team to find them.
When their helicopter sees wreckage, they land. Wesker, Jill, Joseph, Barry and Chris examine the chopper. Inside are the remains of Kevin, the pilot of the Bravo Team. Joseph looks around, and is shocked by the sounds he hears. As he searches… he sees nothing.
Suddenly, a skinless dog mauls Joseph. Jill Valentine, nearby, shoots the dogs several times, but the dogs don't seem to feel the bullets (or she's missing; it isn't clear). She runs out of ammo, and after the dogs finish Joseph off, a dog lunges toward Jill. Chris shoots the dog just before it gets Jill, and Jill and Chris start running for the others.
Brad Vickers, the pilot, flies away because he is scared of the monsters he sees. Chris pauses in shock, and a dog is about to lunge at him, but Wesker saves Chris and shoots the dog into its death.
After a merry dash to avoid the zombie dogs, the remaining STARS members run into a nearby mansion which belonged to Umbrella, Inc. It was the home of Ozwell Spencer in the 1960's, and was supposedly abandoned for years. Inside, Jill, Barry and Wesker realize Chris is missing. They hear a gunshot nearby, and Jill and Barry check it out…
Jill and Barry find the dead bodies of the Bravo Team. They also see what the average person would call a zombie. After finding Wesker missing, Jill and Barry separately explore the mansion for clues on what happened. Apparently, a virus leaked from a lab onto the mansion, and it is what is turning the house people into zombies.
In a small house beside the mansion, Jill and Barry see Lisa Trevor, a monster who is incapable of dying. Nearly killing Jill and Barry, they manage to evade the thing. Continuing the search in a guardhouse behind the mansion, Jill notices that Barry is acting weird.
July 25, 1998
After a vicious duel with a shark, and a man-eating plant, Jill finds a key she uses to explore the rest of the mansion. Finding what she needs, Jill access an elevator in the courtyard between the mansion, Lisa's cabin, and the guardhouse, letting her access secret tunnels beneath the mansion.
Finding Barry after a long labyrinth of a search, Jill runs into Lisa again. Barry leaves her to be attacked by it by unknown means. Earlier, she met Enrico, who said that a STARS member was a traitor. Jill thinks its Barry.
Jill finds what she needs for the last door in the mansion and manages to circle back to Lisa's cabin. Running back to the mansion, she unlocks a door and finds Lisa once again, passed them. Barry is with her.
Barry attempts to ambush Jill, but they both fight off Lisa. Forgiving Barry, Jill finds a laboratory nearby. She discovers that Wesker was Enrico's traitor, and after getting him "killed" in a fight with the Tyrant, the ultimate T-Virus creature, Jill discovers Chris in a jail cell.
Apparently, the not so dead Wesker now triggers the explosion sequence, and Jill, Chris and Barry decide to get out. At the rooftop, they signal Brad for an emergency rescue. Killing the Tyrant again, for good, they escape the "Mansion Incident."
The final scene is when the entire estate explodes.
