Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2
Chapter 238 Merchant Taras
In the middle of the night, Li You and Aiji met Taras near the park under Franco's introduction.
Taras is a middle-aged man with a full beard and sharp eyes. He gives off an aggressive impression at first sight.
If you ask Li You what he thinks, it's hard to believe that he is a businessman just based on his appearance.
However, from his speech and behavior, it can be seen that he does possess certain qualities necessary for a businessman.
It's not about being kind to others and being friendly to make money, but having a sharp eye and being able to catch what others need, and using this to propose a deal that the other party can't refuse.
Frankly speaking, Li You doesn't like this kind of person, but he is indeed capable.
In addition, he did not use his abilities on the right path, so it is conceivable that such a person is more harmful.
Fortunately, Li You didn't come to Taras to discuss business at all.
Taras looked at him and said, "So it's you, the Wanshiwuwu who is very famous recently? What do you want from me?"
Li You coughed and said, "There's nothing else. Franco has told you, right? I'm just here to discuss business with you."
Taras said: "Franco did mention it to me...but do you have any business that you can talk to me about?"
Li You smiled: "What do you think of my homemade potion?"
As he spoke, he took out a mineral water bottle from behind and threw it over.
Taras took it, unscrewed the bottle cap and sniffed it, and his eyes lit up: "It's true! Do you really want to trade this with me? I thought it was monopolized by Franco."
Li You said: "There is no such thing, it's just that I do more business with him. If you can listen to me, those are just deposits."
Taras looked at him again and said, "No problem! Come on, let's go to the park to talk."
The three of them entered the small landscape building in the park. Taras took out a key and opened the locked door on the east side of the second floor.
He greeted with a kind face: "Sit down!"
Li You was not polite and asked Aiji to stay downstairs while he sat down.
Taras dragged a chair in front of him and said, "So, what business do you have to discuss with me?"
Li You looked at him and said, "A friend told me that you seem to have the key to the underground vault of Berggren Bank, right?"
Taras' expression changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted it back and said naturally: "What are you talking about, I don't understand."
Li You smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble. This is related to the business I want to discuss."
"I have a very important thing, a Vishni treasure, priceless. But it is too dangerous for me to store that thing, so I hope to keep it in an underground vault.
"If you have the key, we can discuss this business. As for the reward, I am confident that I can satisfy you."
Taras looked at Li You, but still did not let go: "I am very interested in this deal, but I'm sorry, I really don't..."
"Mr. Taras." Li You interrupted him, "You don't have to rush to reject me, we have time."
"Why don't you think about it, where did I learn that you hold the key to the vault?"
Taras was stunned: "Could it be..."
Li You smiled mysteriously: "...Besides the big shot on that side, who else could be there?"
Taras was really stunned now. He paused before saying: "...Do you have any evidence?"
Li You: "Of course."
He was talking so much nonsense to Taras here, not because he was being lazy, but because of Taras's character, he probably wouldn't take the most important things with him.
So just in case, Li You planned to deceive him first to ensure that he had the key to the vault.
Of course, it is not impossible to arrest them directly and torture them, but that is only the last resort.
In order to win his trust, Li You sneaked into the army outpost with Aiji before coming here. They first confirmed that Colonel Markov was not in the city, and then sneaked into the colonel's private room.
In the top-floor room belonging to Colonel Markov in the game, the two found many documents, including letters between the colonel and Taras.
So at this moment, Li You said directly: "That adult is planning to get some precious cultural relics from the museum, and then they will be handed over to you to store in the vault...Am I right?"
"The old man told me personally that he asked me to put my things into the vault.
"If you still don't believe it, then the cultural relic you want is called water..."
Taras quickly covered his mouth: "That's enough, that's enough! Stop talking! I believe you!"
Seeing that Li You stopped talking, he took a breath and then continued: "Okay, since it is what he wants, of course I have no problem. When will you move the things over? I will take you into the vault. "
Li Youyou: "The sooner the better, there are still people looking for that thing."
Taras nodded: "Okay! Tomorrow evening, you wait for me near the central square! By the way, don't get close to the square. The government troops recently planned to clean up there and sent snipers. If you are accidentally killed, they will not Tube."
Li You was very cooperative and replied: "No problem. Then I'll leave first."
Taras waved his hand: "Go ahead, remember, don't..."
"...Don't leak that adult's matter to anyone, right?" Li You answered, "Don't worry, I know it very well."
Talas nodded again, looked at him, and suddenly sneered: "Speaking of which, it turns out that you are also from there, which is really interesting. You are here to find out the movements of those fools in the city, right? You are worthy of it."
"I am really curious about what expressions those idiots will have when they know your true identity!"
Li You replied with a fake smile: "If you are interested, you can also come to visit when I go back to report next time?"
"Oh, by the way, now except you, no one in the city knows my identity. After all, that adult is not here.
"So, once my identity is exposed... you know it, right?"
Talas hurriedly said: "That's natural! Don't worry."
Li You then said: "Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow night."
"Goodbye."
Li You went out, took Aggie with him, and prepared to return.
The two seemed to be silent, but Aggie had established communication with Li You through mental link.
Aggie said: "...This hyena is really disgusting, with the face of a sinister villain. "
Li Youze replied: "It's okay, he has taken the bait, and he will be useless after tomorrow night."
He then sneered again: "...Heh, the expressions of the refugees when they found out my identity?"
"Tomorrow I will prepare a mirror for you, look at it from your own face!"
After crossing the park, the two separated immediately. Aggie returned on his own, and Li Youze had to run a commission.
Recently, the weather in Berglun has gradually turned cold, but the confrontation between the government forces and the rebels in the city has become increasingly fierce. The intensity and frequency of the battles have increased. It seems that the government forces want to achieve results before the arrival of winter.
Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, it is obviously impossible.
But the biggest problem is still the people. The fierce fighting of the military has also greatly affected them.
Many blocks are covered by the sound of gunfire even at night, and the flames of explosions Frequent flashing made it impossible for scavengers to pass through. The roads in the city were greatly affected, and some areas were even completely isolated.
Fortunately, this did not interfere with Li You. He hid in the dark and easily passed through the battle area and came to the place where he appeared when he first arrived in this world.
Silent hut.
Of course, he was not here to steal things, he was here to complete the commission.
Li You came to the door of the two old people and knocked gently.
There was a low and slow sound of footsteps behind the door, and the old man with white hair opened the door.
"It's really you... Come in."
Li You nodded and greeted: "It's me, old man. So where is the one you are talking about?"
The old man pointed to his head: "They are resting on the second floor. My wife is taking care of them. Come on, I'll take you up."
Li You followed the old man to the bedroom on the second floor, where the old lady was sitting by the bed, looking after the two children on the bed.
"That's them. "The old man said.
Li You stepped forward, smiled at the old lady, then sat down on the edge of the bed and looked at the two children.
The two children were one big and one small. The older boy was about eleven or twelve years old, and was the oldest war orphan Li You had seen so far. The younger one was only six or seven years old, and looked about the same age as Emilia, a girl.
Li You touched their foreheads. Both children had a fever, and the younger one was more serious.
The old lady on the side said worriedly: "We picked up these two children two days ago. The old man saw them wandering outside, so he picked them up."
"They seem to be brother and sister, and originally lived with their mother. But later their mother fell ill and died, and their home was occupied by a group of thugs. They finally escaped.
"My old man and I felt sorry for them and planned to take them in, but we don't have enough food here, and now they are sick again, and we don't have any medicine. So we can only ask you to come. Help them, young man."
Li You looked at the two children and asked, "What are their names?"
The old lady said, "The boy is Andreas, and the girl is Nika."
Li You was thoughtful.
In fact, if we only look at the experiences of the two children, they are more like the neighbor characters who come to ask for help in the classic mode.
Those are also two children who came to ask for medicine because their mother was sick. If they didn't help, the mood of the whole family would be affected. If they helped, there would be more help in the future, and finally their mother would come to thank them in person and give them some coffee.
But they were a pair of boys, whose in-game name was "Nenad Brothers", and Andreas and Nika were the two children taken care of by Adam's orphanage in the Embers Smoldering DLC.
Andreas is the oldest of the four children in Adam's orphanage, and he even goes out at night to help Adam find supplies. Anna, the heroine of Embers of Smolder, met Andreas, a scavenger in a supermarket, and then learned about the orphanage.
He is also the only child in the game who goes out at night.
But speaking of this, Li You still remembered a rumor in the past.
A few years after the game was released, he saw a fake guide on the Internet about the Nenad brothers who came to ask for medicine.
The guide said that if the player does not give them medicine, they will come again in two days, saying that their mother died and they have nowhere to go.
At this time, if there are only two people in the shelter, these two children can join, and they can act like adults, go out at night to collect supplies, and even fight.
The strategy was written in a serious manner, saying that the older boy was very powerful and could get through the gap in the iron gate without a saw blade. It also said that he could use piano wire as a weapon, assassinate silently, and backstab instantly...
Anyway, the young Li You was stunned at the time, and almost believed it, and even wanted to try it. But in the end, Li You didn't have the heart to not give them the medicine, and he didn't try it.
When he realized that it was a purely fake strategy, it was already a matter of the future. I can only say that it's a good thing that he didn't really try it.
What are you thinking about writing such a fake strategy!
Li You came back to his senses, shook his head with some amusement, and threw the past memories out of his mind. He took out the potion he had prepared and fed it to the two children.
Of course, this was just a gourd potion to resist negative effects, and it couldn't cure diseases, but Li You mainly wanted to stabilize their conditions.
The news he heard might not have been clear, and he thought there was only one child, but he didn't expect there were two. Now their condition is not good and they need to be sent to the hospital, but it is not very convenient for Li You to rely on himself.
Or, call Aggie over?
Li You was thinking about it, but the older child Andreas suddenly grabbed Li You's wrist and said, "...Uncle, please take Nika to the hospital, I'm fine."
Li You looked at him: "You're awake."
Andreas nodded: "I'm fine, I'm much better, so..."
Li You didn't let him continue: "It's okay, I'll take both of you. But I see you are quite energetic, so come and help me."
Andreas and the two old people were stunned.
After a while, Andreas and Nika were wrapped in thick coats. Li You tied the petite Nika to his chest with a rope, and carried Andreas on his back, and then rushed to the hospital under the astonished gaze of the two old people.
Andreas was also confused: "Am I helping you now?"
Li You replied: "Please keep an eye on my sister Nika. If you feel her temperature rises, tell me immediately. I need to observe the situation on the street and cannot pay attention all the time."
Andreas finally understood: "Okay, leave it to me!"
Li You took the two children all the way to the hospital.
The hospital guards, doctors and nurses now knew him and greeted him: "Li You!"
"Mr. Li, you are here."
"Who are these two...?"
With the help of the nurse, Li You put the two children down and said: "They are sick, please take a look at them."
The nurse was shocked: "Okay, leave it to us."
With that, she and her companions took the two children to the hospital.
Li You did not join in the fun. Aggie had basic medical knowledge, but he did not, so he could not help much.
He stood at the door of the hospital, listening to the dense gunfire not far away, and looking at the dilapidated Berglen in the night.
During this time, he has also gotten used to falling asleep accompanied by the roar of artillery fire.
For an ordinary person who was born in a peaceful country, this is really a novel experience.
The guard on the side came over and handed him a cigarette.
"Would you like one, Mr. Li?"
Li You took a look and smiled: "Sure, you can give real cigarettes to others? When did you become so rich?"
The guard laughed at himself: "What rich? This is my only cigarette left. I usually smoke those low-quality cigarettes."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't take it out."
Li You smiled after hearing this and said: "Thank you very much. But no, I don't smoke, you can keep it for yourself."
The guard didn't say much, put away the cigarettes, and then really took out a cigarette of the lowest quality from his pocket, lit it, took a deep puff, and exhaled a light smoke for a long time.
"The day before yesterday, the warehouse behind the hospital was bombed again." He whispered.
Li You was stunned.
"They bombed the warehouse but not the main building of the hospital. Maybe those bastards wanted to destroy all our medicines so that they could watch us cry?"
"But unfortunately, there are no medicines in the warehouse. Those guys just wasted ammunition. Ha!"
Li You was silent.
The guard took another puff of cigarette and coughed several times this time. Then he said, "Sir, I know that just saying a few words is useless, but I still want you to know that you have provided us with great help."
"If it weren't for you, the hospital might have suffered heavy losses during the last bombing. You and the two people at the radio station, everyone has seen what you did. You let more people live. Thank you."
Li You shook his head and said, "What I can do is limited. I just helped others a little, and I have to get paid."
The guard smiled: "For example, helping others deliver letters across half a city, and then just a can of food that is about to expire?"
Li You wanted to say something, but two people suddenly appeared on the street not far away, and they seemed to be injured.
The guard took one look and immediately sucked up the remaining cigarette butt, then ran over quickly.
"What happened? I'll help!"
Looking at the busy guards, doctors and nurses, Li You sighed silently.
Damn war.
When dawn was approaching, the nurse finally came out with the two children.
"Mr. Li, we have given them medicine. Next, they just need to go back and rest well. They will be well soon."
"The battle has become more intense recently. There are no empty beds in the hospital. I am sorry."
Li You smiled gently: "It's okay. I will take them back."
The nurse bowed to Li You and then returned to the hospital and continued to be busy.
Andreas took his sister Nika, who was already awake, and looked at Li You, saying a little stiffly: "Thank you, uncle."
Li You touched their heads and said: "The old man told you before, right? After this time, you will follow me."
Andreas looked at Nika behind him and answered with a firm look: "Yes! I will help you, uncle!"
Li You laughed: "No, I don't need your help, the children just need to rest and have fun."
Andreas wanted to say something, but Li You had already said: "Let's go, come back to my shelter with me first. If the conditions are ripe in the future, I may change your home."
The two children were held and carried by Li You before they understood what he meant.
At dawn, Li You had taken them back to the villa shelter.
Everyone, including Aggie, was surprised to see him bring back two children.
Marco came up and asked: "Li You, are they...?"
Li You briefly introduced the two and said that they would live here for a while.
Although everyone was surprised, no one objected, including the egoist Roman.
Livia gently hugged Andreas, who pretended to be strong, and Nika, who was hiding behind her brother in fear, and comforted them: "Good children, you must be very tired. Come with me, I will take you to eat something."
"Don't be afraid. Look, there is also a baby in my aunt's belly. He will be your brother in the future!"
Under her gentle treatment, Nika finally dared to stick her head out from behind her brother, and Andreas finally let down his guard and followed her.
Li You was also very satisfied to see Livia get closer to the two children so quickly.
At this time, Marco and Roman came to him and said, "Li You, there are some things you may be interested in."
Roman took out a piece of note paper with a few lines of small words on it. Li You took a look and found that it was the important news they heard during this period.
According to the two, Livia would use the radio station to listen to the broadcast in her spare time to better obtain intelligence. These are her records.
Li You was somewhat relieved, but after looking at the contents of the record, his face became a little solemn again.
Because in addition to the three news about Li You and Esma's cooperation, there are two other important news.
"—— I regret to tell you that one of us provided the name of the rebel supporter to the government army. We still don't know his identity. If you have any information, please tell us, which will save many people."
"—— The military is threatening us and trying to shut us up. That's why we should tell you the truth at all costs."
These two news are the contents that will appear in the middle of the final broadcast plot. Of course, this world does not have such a strict distinction, but this is enough to show that Malik and Esma's radio station are facing a gradually approaching threat.
"It seems that it's almost time to talk to these two people again."
Li You made up his mind, but he was not in a hurry to leave. After all, there was still Taras's matter to deal with. He and Aggie planned and formulated a simple but not crude action plan, waiting for Taras to take the bait.
In the evening, Li You and Aggie waited for Taras in the ruins near the square.
"You are here!" He came up to chat, "How is it, did you bring the things?"
Li You patted the large luggage wrapped in gray cloth beside him and said, "It's here. Are you ready?"
Taras said, "It's ready a long time ago. Let's go, I know a small path that can lead to the vault."
Li You and Aggie lifted their luggage and followed Taras all the way. Finally, they entered the bank from the back door and went down to the vault.
The entry procedure of the underground vault is very complicated. Two different keys are needed to open three heavy doors. There are also particular rules for the order of using the keys.
However, Li You only read it once and memorized the entire order.
Finally, Taras opened the heavy sliding door of the vault and said, "Okay! Put the things in."
Li You put down the large luggage, looked at Aggie, and then said, "Speaking of which, don't you want to know what it is that needs to be put in the underground vault?"
Taras was stunned: "Is this something I can see?"
Li You smiled: "Of course. It's better to say that this is prepared for you."
Taras: "...? What do you mean?"
Li You grabbed the gray cloth, raised his hand and lifted it, revealing the "cultural relics" below.
Taras looked closely and saw that it was an ordinary full-length mirror with broken cracks in the lower corner. He was stunned at the time.
"This is..."
"Bang."
Before he finished speaking, Aggie had appeared behind him at some point and knocked him down with a palm.
Looking at the unbelievable look of Taras who fell, Li You smiled slightly: "This is specially prepared for you to see your expression clearly. Look forward to it, Mr. Taras."
Under Li You's seemingly gentle but actually cold eyes, Taras's consciousness fell into complete darkness.
