Quick recap

Five years after Raccoon City, the T-virus has spread and dried up the planet. A clone Alice dies in a test mansion while the real one drifts through the desert. She finds Claire Redfield's convoy, which includes Carlos and L.J., headed for Alaska. Dr. Isaacs of Umbrella uses domesticated zombies to capture Alice, and L.J. dies when infected. Carlos sacrifices himself blowing up a tanker against the horde. Alice enters the facility, where the AI White Queen says her blood can cure the virus. She defeats Isaacs, now a Tyrant. In Tokyo, Wesker tells executives the base is lost, and Alice says she and her clones are coming.
