Question about the aftermath of Resident Evil 4

What happened to all of the villagers/cultists/militia that were infected with Las Plagas after Leon killed Saddler and escaped with Ashley? It's possible that they all committed suicide since they were leaderless and probably saw no point in living any more...what do you guys think?

Im not sure what happens to the followers when the plagas dont have their mother plaga anymore. Remember Saddler was their leader becuse he was the leader plaga. The plagas probably kill their hosts after a long time inhabiting their hosts.

That is true, I never thought of that.

Shit man, they just went on with their lives and stuff.

But if they did survive, I would think they would just do what they did before Leon showed up, but without the leaders and such.

I dont think so, they still have a huge ass parasite that lives inside them. And if the parasite dies, who knows what it does to the host?its not something you just spit out, it probably explodes, or you vomit your insides out. They arent human anymore when theyre infected.

Yeah I know that they'll all die, but I was just saying what would happen if they survived.

Welllllllll when Leon and Ashley got them removed and the parasites "died" but they too were still alive.

Ooooohh that's right!!!!

Or maybe, when Leon reported what he found in europe, maybe the President sent a strike force to eliminate the remaining ganados? Seeing as they would pose a threat to surrounding towns and such.

Ummm, I doubt he would do that. I mean they did in Raccoon, but I don't think they'd try to risk a war with anybody right now. Or then.

There were probably strike teams sent in to kill the survivors. That being said, considering that the spores are so small that that can be breathed in, I don't think they are all dead.

The really big question is what happened to Kijuju. Yeah, Wesker's dead, but almost an entire country was still left overrun, and don't see how an impoverished area like that could keep the whole place quarantined for a long time.

That actually is a good one. I mean, who was the control Plaga in RE5? IDK.

At this point in the RE storyline, and especially with RE6, I think it's safe to say the world has almost been completely ravaged by Biohazard attacks, and locations such as Kijuju are shall we say..."gone".

It was explained in the game. If the parasite is killed early enough it's removal won't damage the host.

After a prolonged infection it cannot be removed safely. For example, what happens when you shoot them with the plaga removal laser? They die because the plaga dies.

As much as i appreciate the thought of villagers losing hope with the plagas experiment after losing saddler, I think the actual question needs to be as to wat happens to the virus sample that ada steals from leon. Even in RE 5, Excella gionne mentions the las plagas was a success. May be the main plot of RE 6 is about the sample in wrong hands.

EDIT : Did not the island explode at the end of RE4 which means that everything including villagers could have died in the area?

The village and a lot of other stuff was not on the island. Ada took you on the island by boat at one part. Unless there were explosives on the other shore too then the village would've been safe.

Wellllllll they did need a huge ass technological machine with special lasers to do so. I doubt the villagers would find and know how to work it. Besides, the plagas never reached full adulthood and they never FULLY controlled Leon or Ashleys brain. Leon had one attack, when he strangled Ada, and Ashley was controlled by Saddler, but they were never controlled by the plaga inside him. The villagers are completely and totally infected.

Well if Leon and Ashley could work it I think they would be able to as well. lol

I doubt they would. THe infection has gone for way too long so they have completely been enslaved by the plaga living inside.

True, but that being said, then they would all most likely die, which has been stated at the beginning of this thread. lol

I think it was Irving or Wesker, but I don't see any reason why they would stop functioning since those two died. Considering how wide an area they had infested, I doubt that there was any serious quarantine effort beyond the city areas. I wouldn't be surprised if they were halfway to Rwanda by the end of the game.

Maybe they were like the aliens in The Faculty. After the queen died, they all just left their hosts and the people, that were still alive and were able to live normally, went on with their lives and didn't remember anything that had happened to them during that time. Maybe it was the same with the Las Plagas.
