"This place is like hell on earth! Whether we're in the station or outside on the street it's all the same!"

On September 28 1998, Leon went to Raccoon City for his assignment, entering through a highway that was seemingly abandoned by the U.S. Military, who were to blockade the area. When he arrived, the majority of the city's police officers were already dead and most of the citizens had already turned into zombies. After his first encounter with the living dead, Leon met with another survivor, Claire Redfield, who had arrived in the city in search of her missing brother, Chris.

Together, Leon and Claire decided to seek refuge within the R.P.D.'s headquarters, but after arriving there, they get separated when Leon's police car gets destroyed, both of them barely getting out of the vehicle alive when a truck driven by an infected crashed into it, forcing the two to search for a way out of the city separately.

During his probe of the R.P.D. precinct, Leon meets another survivor named Ada, a woman who claimed she was looking for her missing boyfriend. They soon formed a bond, and Leon even took a bullet for her, fired by Annette Birkin. Leon and Ada managed to fight against most of the enemies but soon Ada is wounded by a mutated William Birkin's claw.

During that time, Leon had found out from Annette Birkin that Ada was actually a spy and only came to steal the G-virus. However Leon doesn't believe this until Ada tells him so. Ada is attacked by a T-103 Tyrant, and was mortally wounded. She then told him the truth about everything. Ada shortly falls into unconsciousness which Leon mistakes for death.

However, at the near end, a mysterious figure (with Ada's voice and silhouette) helps Leon (or Claire) by giving them a rocket launcher to help defeat the Tyrant. Leon is reunited with Claire and the two (along with William Birkin's daughter, Sherry) make their escape through a secret railway and then escape via the train, leaving the mutated Birkin to be destroyed in the self-destruct sequence.
