About The Comic
Biohazard 2 was published by King's Fountain Limited, and Issue One was released on February 7th 1998. The Biohazard 2 comics were released in China exclusively receiving a total of 60 issues throughout it's run. Later installments on different Biohazard games would follow including Biohazard 3, Biohazard 0, Biohazard X and Biohazard Code Veronica the latter of which would become the first and only of this Manhua series to receive publication outside of China, although that translation's accuracy has been called into question by native fans who stated that it has been edited and poorly executed. However for the rest of the comics they have never before been translated until now.
About The Translation
Disclaimer; please read the following before proceeding to the comic
The following translation was performed by myself (BSAArklay), I have no experience in translating Chinese and used translation devices to perform the work. I do not claim complete accuracy, and I am willing to make compromises and edits if corrected so by translators or natives with more experience than myself. Although I do feel like the translation is accurate enough to understand the structure of the text and the meaning remains the same, accuracy may vary.
I simply was able to acquire the comics via F_analyzer and contacted the multi-talented Lunar Indie Studios, both Resident Evil fans who wanted to finally get these comics translated and understand the story along with the artwork. Which is my only intention with this project, to enjoy the story somewhat as intended by King's Fountain Limited and Capcom. In the past I had tried unsuccessfully to translate these comics however the scans readily available online are of too low quality to make out the Chinese, so I required higher quality scans which is where F_analyzer came into play providing me with the Manhua's I was able to finally get high quality scans and able to make out the Chinese. I needed someone to help with editing the translation onto the comic and thought of Lunar Indie Studios whom I have worked with in the past on smaller projects, Lunar performed the editing task to an extremely high quality as you are about to see even editing posters, covers and adverts. Please support both F_analyzer and Lunar Indie Studios via Twitter or Lunar Indie Studios via YouTube because without both this project would never have happened.

Variant Translations
Regarding the variant translations, we have provided two different translations. The first is the Westernized translation, for which I performed my normal translation and then Lunar made some custom changes to make the comic more grammatically correct for the English speaking fans. None of the context is changed of course the lore and plot remains the same however we just made the sentences easier to read.
The second translation we have provided is my original Chinese to English translation with no edits for grammar purposes performed. We were unsure which version to go with so decided to provide both and allow the reader to select.
Example sentences.
Westernized translation: Fear, for humans, will always exist. It's like wandering down a dark back alley...
Chinese-English translation: Fear, for humans, will always exist. Just like being in a dark back alley...
