He soon crashes the vehicle, and manages to exit the truck but is surrounded by several Umbrella military vehicles. He is then rescued by a mysterious person named Amanda Houston, who then reveals and introduces herself to Justin. They both then entered a huge and slightly devastated city, which is held by the Liberation Army led by Andrew Hoodie.

Justin is then recruited and becomes a member of the organization. He is then given a apartment, which consists of two bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a storeroom that can be used to store weapons and a dressing room. He is given many missions to infiltrate several Umbrella bases and steal materials and important documents from them as well as leading his own crews to attack Umbrella's territories. He is also given several missions to loot supplies from their territories as well as spying their turfs.

Commander Hoodie also gives Justin several missions to assassinate several high ranking officers of Umbrella and even orders Justin to bomb three strategically important Umbrella bases. During some of the missions being given to Justin, Amanda will accompany Justin and after these missions are completed, both of them grow closer toward each other, and both start dating together. One day, Commander Hoodie gives Justin a task to assassinate a high ranking officer named Vladimir Petrenko in a Umbrella laboratory. Justin then infiltrates the lab and disguises himself as a security personnel, when Justin approaches Petrenko's office, he attempts to shoot Petrenko with his suppressed pistol but is caught by several security guards, and one of them proceeded to knock him out. When he awakes, he finds himself being transferred to Umbrella's main headquarter, there he meets Charles Matheson, the leader of Umbrella for the first time. He is then physically tortured by a high ranking officer when he refuses to reveal his sender. After being beaten many times, the officer grows tired and decides to kill Justin with his pistol. Being she could shoot Justin, she is then ambushed by Amanda, who proceeded to kill the officer with her laser sword. After Amanda has untied Justin, they both attempt to escape the building but are then chased by the alerted guards. When they both reach closer to Charles' office, they both change their plans and decide to kill the leader of Umbrella.

When they enter Charles' office, but as soon as they enter, Charles has shot Justin in the leg, rendering him unable to walk. Amanda attempts to charge at him with her laser sword but before she could hit her with it, Charles manages to shoot her in the stomach when she gets close enough. Both Justin and Amanda helplessly lies on the floor. When Justin attempts to reach his gun, Charles picks it up and crushes it with his bare hands. Both start reaching out toward each other while being mocked by Charles several times. When they finally reach each other, a team of Liberation Army soldiers breach into his office, and one of them manages to shoot Charles in the chest, fatally injuring the Umbrella leader. Captain Price walks toward both of them, and orders for medical assistance. However, both Justin and Amanda mysteriously heals, and both of them are able to stand up again, which triggers their confusions.

Shortly afterwards, a mysterious man in black suit appears, who refers himself as "The Administrator". Justin and Amanda as well as the rest of the team draw their weapons at the man. An unknown shock wave suddenly causes all of them except for Justin and Amanda to lie on the floor and makes them unable to stand up. Soon, The Admin teleports both of them to a unknown place that consists of nothing but a white background. Amanda attempts to charge at the Admin but is knocks onto the floor when The Admin summons the wave again. Justin then fights against The Admin in a final showdown, and after the battle, The Admin is defeated by Justin. He then kneels onto the floor, and Justin shoots The Admin in the head with a modified pistol. After shooting the Admin, Justin is then teleported to another place, again.

This time, the place consists a unknown machine that contains a human brain that are being kept inside a transparent spherical-shaped glass. When he walks toward it, The Admin appears again, and Justin draws his pistol at the Admin. But somehow, The Admin is not aggressive, and he manages to convince Justin to disarm. The Admin then explains the truth about the world to the rogue scavenger. Justin the discovers that he is actually living in a virtual reality and he is in fact a employee of a huge gaming company who enters the world to test the game development along with many others employees. Even though he has been living in this world for 21 years, in reality, he has lived in this world for only 3 days since he logs in. The reasons behind this is due to the fact that the machine that connects him to the virtual reality malfunctions as the result of massive bugs and it causes it to operate autonomously. The bugs also caused the testers to have their memories being erased, sending them back to their toddler age and "live" for many years in this virtual world. The Admin also explains that some of the people he has met are real people while some others are not real and are referred to as an "artificial intelligence".
