After a short cutscene, you'll be attacked by the guy on the floor. Take him down and go through the door to the next room, then jump out the window into the back streets below.

Around the first corner, you'll be attacked by a huge group of locals. When the cutscene ends, you'll be facing back the way you came. If this is your first time through the game, or you haven't stocked up on ammo, there'll be far too many enemies here for you to deal with, so turn around and run down the alleyway until you get into the house. Sheva will bar the door, and Chris gets on the radio to figure out what's happening. If you've got the firepower to take them down, you can stand your ground against the mob. Eventually one will show up throwing explosives - kill him and he'll drop the Topaz (Marquis) [[Resident Evil 5/Treasures|treasure]].

Grab the supplies in the room while the discussion's going on, then go over and inspect the rusted door, then use a Partner Action to kick it down. In the next room, drop through the hole and follow the tunnel. At the far end, go up the ladder and pick up the ammo and herbs, then go through the door to the next area.

After a few minutes, Chris will call for backup and you'll get another short cutscene, showing a group of Majini breaking through the roof. Shortly after, the Executioner from a few cutscenes ago will appear, smashing down the steel gate outside the house you've been defending until now. If you're still in the house, he'll break through the wall too.

Run through the broken gate and all the way towards the large red steel doors at the far end of the area, and you'll find a [[Resident Evil 5/Weapons and Items#VZ61|VZ61]] machine gun in an attaché case on a table to the right.

The best strategy to survive this section on early playthroughs is just to hide - the Executioner deals major damage with his oversized axe, but there are some places he can't reach you. The most straightforward hiding place is inside the burned-out bus in the middle of this area. It also has the advantage of having a single, narrow entry point for all the normal majini, who can easily be dealt with using your pistols or even your knife if you start running low on ammo. It also means all of the enemy ammo and item drops are in easy reach of a safe place where you can reload or manage your inventory without leaving yourself exposed.

The buildings in this area also contain a decent amount of ammo and other items - the largest building, directly behind the bus, also has a green herb in it.

If you do manage to take down the Executioner, he'll drop the Gold Ring [[Resident Evil 5/Treasures|treasure]]. He does take a lot of punishment however, and your weapons probably won't be up to the task at this early stage of your first playthrough.


At a couple of points during this section, Chris will contact or be contacted by Kirk to secure backup. Eventually the support chopper shows up, resulting in a short cutscene that ends the chapter.
