Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

The top of the Star Observation Laboratory, the Star Observation Deck.

Compared with the messiness of the entire laboratory, the furnishings here are very simple.

Under the window covered with horoscopes is a wooden table with various flasks. In the center of the room, there is an alchemy instrument that is almost ten meters high. The huge glass container is filled with blue cells, which are constantly undulating and swirling.

Li You, the Collector, and the Queen stood in front of the alchemy instrument, looking at the mountains of cells piled inside.

And in it, from top to bottom, five floating red cells of origin were motionless, surrounded by ordinary cells in the center, like stars holding the moon.

The collector held his head high, looking at the five origin cells in ecstasy, and said:

"The panacea...the legendary elixir that can cure everything, condensed from the most natural essence of life."

"Soon, it will work."

The queen on the side still didn't particularly agree, saying: "This kind of thing is just like those apostates who have taken the wrong path..."

But what she didn't expect was that the collector didn't object. Instead, he nodded and said, "That's true."

Queen: "...huh?"

The collector said: "The so-called panacea is just a bunch of nonsense created by the demented alchemists of the past. It is a fairy tale that only children can believe."

"Look at your king, what he looks like now, isn't it..."

"Buzz——"

Suddenly there was a sword cry, and the queen's stabbing sword came into her hand at some point, and was placed on the collector's neck in an instant.

"...Don't mention him to me."

The collector raised his hands and saluted: "...I'm sorry, I made a mistake."

The queen then put away her sword and glanced at Li You next to her.

Li You's face was full of innocence: "...Ah, the sun is nice tonight."

queen:"……"

——The island at this moment.

Cell Man stood in a small room, squeezing his large chest muscles with both hands so that he could see more clearly.

“…I have a feeling that I may have actually been a professional before.”

“Because this body is simply born to do this kind of thing!

"I rub-!"

——Clock Room.

The time guardian who monitors the cell people: "..."

Aggie on the side patted her shoulder sympathetically.

——Star Observation Deck.

Queen: "...I don't have that kind of husband."

Collector: "...let's get back to business."

He coughed and forcibly changed the subject: "In short, trying to tamper with the origin of life will not end well. Even from these artificial human experimental subjects, I can draw this conclusion. ”

"But." He looked at the queen again, "I have traveled all over the island, searching in the bodies of countless dead people."

"...even from living people. Oh, there weren't many volunteers, and they all begged me to stop."

The queen was silent for a moment.

The collector looked at the alchemy equipment again: "But in the end, I still found nothing. What else can I do now? I can only believe in false stories in fairy tales...It's sad."

"But even so, I still have to finish it...you understand."

The queen looked at him for a long time, then finally snorted and turned away.

"…Then give me success, this is an order."

The collector nodded: "Definitely."

Just at this time, there was a knock on the door of the observatory, and one of the Collector's alchemy dolls walked in, carrying a jar full of cells.

The collector's eyes also lit up: "Here we go, the last cell!"

Even Li You looked over and stared at the alchemy doll as he put the last cells recovered at a low price from the cell man into the alchemy container.

Seeing that the alchemy instrument was completely filled, the Collector breathed a little heavier and said, "...Then, this is about to begin."

As he spoke, he pulled down the lever on the alchemy instrument. High-temperature steam began to emit from the outermost pipe of the instrument, and the cells in the glass container began to rotate at an accelerated speed around the five origin cells arranged vertically, driven by the current.

As the rotation speed becomes faster and faster, a large number of cells begin to be compressed and condensed. The number of cells in the container gradually decreases, and wisps of blue-white liquid are injected into the final purification container.

When all ordinary cells except the origin cells have been condensed, the purification container is also filled. Finally, the finished panacea liquid flowed down the pipe into the thin-necked flask below.

By this time, the liquid medicine had almost turned into pure white, with only a faint blue light shining through, and electric current pulsating from time to time.

This is the end result, the panacea, that collectors seek.

The collector carefully held the flask with both hands. It could be seen that he was also nervous, even though his hands were raised, they were still shaking violently.

He paused for a moment before saying, "The panacea... worked."

Li You also nodded.

The final product looks exactly like the one in the game, so this panacea must be real.

But...at this moment, the atmosphere in the room also changed.

The collector held the flask and looked at Li You and the queen with some caution, while the queen also looked at the collector and Li You.

Li You didn't have any special reaction.

Seeing the atmosphere getting tense, he coughed lightly and said, "Okay, don't be so pretentious. Everyone's goal is to solve the abnormalities on the island, right? Then hurry up and test whether the panacea is useful. It will take time to refine the next one!"

After being interrupted by him, the serious state of the collector and the queen finally eased.

The collector looked at the medicine bottle in his hand and said, "Okay, let's try it. However, if this bottle is indeed a panacea, then there is no need to refine it again."

Li You: "Huh? How can this bottle be enough?"

The collector said, "If this is really a panacea, then this bottle... no, just half a bottle, after dilution, is enough to solve the epidemic on this island. So if you want to test it, it is still sufficient."

Li You: "... That's it."

The collector shook the panacea in his hand. Now he has completely calmed down and said, "To verify the efficacy of the medicine, the fastest way is to let someone who can bear it take it orally and observe him."

"If this is really a panacea, then there will be an immediate effect."

Li You recalled the changes in the game after the collector drank the panacea and nodded: "Indeed, but you... can't drink it."

The collector: "?"

In the game, the collector is the real final BOSS.

After the player obtains five BOSS origin cells, he can enter the stargazing laboratory behind the throne room.

Fight all the way to the top observatory, where the Collector will be waiting for you.

He will ask the player to provide the last cell to complete the refining of the panacea, and then... drink it himself.

From the game performance, he did only drink a small sip, and the potion in the bottle was not touched. But this small sip has transformed him from an alchemist into a tough guy who can fight both melee and ranged, and directly upgraded to the final BOSS.

In the battle with him, after several map changes, the player can take advantage of him trying to drink the potion to recover blood, knock down his panacea, pick it up and drink it.

Only by drinking the panacea can the Collector be defeated, otherwise he will be forced to lock blood and cannot die.

And if the Cell Man still uses the artificial human body when defeating the Collector, or in terms of gameplay, he is not wearing the king skin, then after the battle, the Cell Man will collapse due to the incompatibility of the soul and flesh, and reborn again.

But if, when fighting the Collector, he possessed the King's body, then under the combined effects of his original body, the artificial green algae, and the panacea, the Cell Man - the King, would recall everything in the past and gain true immortality.     Finally, the King, who had killed everything he could and extinguished the hope of curing the plague, would sit on the throne bored and miss the past time crawling around in the sewer.

And the one who appeared in front of him at this time was the Cell Man from another timeline who was pulled over by the Time Keeper.

After the Cell Man and the King greeted each other with international friendly gestures, they started fighting, and the game ended in the light of the collision of their skills.

This is the ending of Dead Cells.

In the game, the player actually has to kill the Collector twice. Because in the first cycle of defeating the King's Hand, the Cell Man will destroy the King's body.

After killing the Collector for the first time, the Time Keeper will appear, kick the Cell Man back in time, and adjust time.

But that time, the guardian of time made a mistake after all. There was a bug in the timeline. The long-dead great swordswoman was resurrected, and the king's body returned, so that the cell man could reach the ending.

Of course, because of Li You's intervention, the plot has changed a lot, so these no longer exist.

But in any case, Li You did not intend to let the collector drink the panacea.

Can you stop doing tricks? Let's make a stable solution.

He had no interest in fighting with the collector, he just wanted to solve the problem properly. At this time, Li You did not want any accidents.

In short, Li You firmly rejected the collector's proposal, and then he and the queen watched him, using the most basic but also the most reliable way, step by step, and finally got the result.

This panacea is genuine.

When the collector saw the experimental results, he sat on the ground, motionless.

The queen was also rarely absent-minded, and Li You called her several times to wake her up.

She looked at the panacea on the table and said, "...Finally, we can save this island and this kingdom."

Li You also smiled and said, "Congratulations, Queen."

The collector on the ground also recovered and jumped up: "Record, record! Experiment record, I want to organize and record the whole process again!!"

"Panacea, the panacea succeeded--!!!"

Looking at his excitement, not only Li You, but even the queen laughed. After all, the collector's joy was real.

...

The three of them quickly told the good news to all the insiders.

Hearing that the panacea was finally successfully refined, the time guardian also breathed a sigh of relief: "...Finally, it succeeded. How long has it been."

The three loyal attendants of the queen were naturally happy for this.

Even those who were not notified knew about it.

The fat tentacle monster hiding in the sewer was drinking an unknown "drink" and exclaimed: "...This time we really succeeded. It really took a lot of effort."

"...Probably, it's also thanks to that outsider?"

As for Cell Man... no one has informed him, and no one has yet decided how to deal with this guy.

But regarding the use of the panacea, the collector immediately began to prepare.

…

The castle on the mountain, between the thrones.

Behind the king's throne, there is a fountain-like pool.

But anyone who has played the game knows that this thing is not a fountain, but a pipe. It is a specially built pipeline to allow the green algae of Cell Man to pass through.

So in fact, this pipeline is almost all over the island.

That is to say, with the intricate pipeline facilities, no matter where the cell people die, they can finally return to the prison and be reborn.

When the number of Origin Cells is insufficient, every time the Cell Man defeats the King's Hand, he can only choose to split up, go through the pipeline here, and then return to the prison.

But now, according to the Collector, this pipeline was not only built to resurrect Cell Man after death, but more to prepare for this time.

He had already begun having these pipelines built while he was still trying to find cures for the disease from the dead.

At this moment, Li You and others were all standing by the pool, watching the collector adjust the flow of the pipes.

The unlucky King's Hand lay beside him, with only one breath left. Yuzu stepped on him and looked at him, unable to move at all.

In the past, Li You and others used the portal to enter and leave the Star Observation Laboratory, so they haven't fought against the Hand of the King for some days.

But this time, not only Li You and his party, but also the queen and the guardian of time, everyone was there. Even the collector, although not drinking the panacea, is still considered a support staff.

Under a siege of this scale, King's Hand, even though he was one of the strongest men on the island, could only be humiliated and brutally beaten, and was finally knocked over by Yuzu with a hammer.

Then, everyone watched as the collector tinkered with the transmission pipeline that was said to connect the entire island.

After waiting for a long time, the queen was a little impatient: "Is it done?"

The Collector said: "...Don't be impatient. After all, it involves the whole island. I have to adjust it carefully to make sure there are no mistakes."

He continued to adjust for a while, and when even the Time Guardian became a little irritable, the Collector suddenly spoke:

"Okay! Li You, give me the panacea!"

Li You immediately took out the panacea from the system backpack and handed it to the collector.

The collector poured half of the bottle of panacea into the pool, and the clear water in the pool soon turned into a blue-white liquid.

The collector then pulled the switch, and the pipe quickly sucked in the pool water. According to collectors, during this process, the liquid will be broken down again and then transported to all parts of the island.

"That's right!" He suddenly remembered something, "It's still too late, let's go! Let's go back to the observatory!"

The collector didn't explain much and led everyone to the observatory at the top.

When the group of people ran to the top, the collector pointed to the distance: "Look!"

From the observatory, you can have an unobstructed view of the entire island.

When everyone looked along his direction, what they saw was that in various areas of the island, water columns suddenly erupted from the ground and rose into the sky, like exploding fountains.

The fountain, still glowing with blue-white light, turned into raindrops, scattering over the entire island.

As the raindrops fell, the haze and miasma that had shrouded the entire island for a long time seemed to dissipate.

Seeing this scene, even the queen's chambermaid, Euterpe, who was unsmiling and would not speak unless necessary, subconsciously said: "Is this... the end?"

"No, not yet." The queen's tone was quite calm, but her trembling hands conveyed her true emotions.

The collector also said: "Yes, spraying chemicals is only the first step to purify the entire island. To complete this process, continuous cleaning is required."

“Although I have set it up a long time ago, these diluted panacea solutions will be recycled and purified repeatedly after spraying, but this is still not enough.

"...If nothing else, there are some extremely powerful individuals spawned by the epidemic that will not be eliminated by this rain. Eliminating them is also a necessary task."

Others nodded after hearing this, but Li You smiled: "But no matter what, this is a crucial first step. At this point, we have overcome most of the difficulties. The rest is basically just It’s a matter of time.”

The collector was also a little surprised: "You are really... optimistic. Well, I hope what you said is right."

Li You smiled and said, "Yes."

He can indeed assert this because the system has given the certification.

【bite! 】

[The main mission of Dead Cells: Witness the ending of this island is about to be completed, and preparations for the next world are being drawn. 】

Li You looked at the entire island below and thought to himself:

"It seems that this world is ready to end."

I've been quite busy lately, so my word count is a bit low. I'll try to write as much as possible when I have some free time after Christmas.
