Inside the mansion, Chris' fellow agents are ambushed by aggressive zombies (Zack included) and death traps, with Chris being the sole survivor and barely making it out alive. Chris then comes face-to-face with Arias outside the mansion and engages him in CQC, only to be swiftly defeated. He then finds out that Kathy has become a zombie, who now obeys Arias. As Arias leaves with his B.O.W. associates, Maria and Diego Gomez, the BSAA arrives just in time to rescue Chris by slaughtering Kathy and the remaining zombie horde with Chris vowing revenge on Arias.

He develops a new strain of virus that is not affected by the vaccine and injects it to Rebecca. Arias challenge Chris to rescue Rebecca within twenty minutes, which is the time that requires the virus to take full effect. As Arias' associates imitate their attack on New York by releasing the gas form of the virus in vehicles, Leon and Chris' new BSAA team, consisting of DC, Damian and Nadia, destroy the vehicles and contain the virus, although Damian is brutally decapitated by zombie dogs in the process. Chris then infiltrates Arias' safe house, defeats Diego and rescues Rebecca.

Diego then revealed to be Arias' brother, and they assimilate to form a new Tyrant form. Chris is no match against the Arias-tyrant until Leon joins the fight after working his way through the safe-house, mowing down zombies. With the assistance of DC and Nadia, they manage to trap the tyrant, at which point Chris finishes off the Arias-tyrant with a rocket launcher, putting them in the end once and for all.
