Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Two days later.

Snowflakes began to fall, and Bergeron was covered with a beautiful but deadly silver coat.

Under the extremely cold temperature, the large-scale battle between the government army and the Vishini army finally ended, and each withdrew to its base to rest.

In the aftermath of the battle between the two armies, the refugees who barely survived had to face the invasion of cold. In Bergeron today, this severe cold can easily kill people.

Therefore, now in Bergeron, wood and combustibles have become the most precious materials, and the black market prices have soared. Even the broken wood chips in various ruins have been dug out and taken away.

But even so, the fuel for heating is still in short supply. I don’t know how many people died on the first day due to the sudden drop in temperature.

The government forces surrounding the city have no intention of giving in. They are still blocking the entry of humanitarian aid supplies and even strengthening the siege.

A military spokesman claimed that the various accidents and crimes in the city were the main causes of the tragedy of civilian casualties, and the rebels were the culprits of all this.

Therefore, they will not lift the siege, but will strengthen the blockade. The spokesman also said that shelling, cold winter and lack of supplies will soon force the rebels to surrender, and the civilians trapped in the city will be rescued at that time.

At the same time, the government forces have secretly accelerated the deployment of certain plans.

- This morning.

The snow was howling, mixed with cold raindrops. The wind echoed like a cry, passing through the ruined city.

In the heavy snow and rain, a man carrying a heavy package, wearing a jacket and a scarf, walked out of the woods on the edge of the suburbs.

He covered his abdomen, staggered in the snow, and moved forward with difficulty.

"Almost... the city..."

His consciousness was already blurred, and the biting rain and snow hit his face like needles. He covered his face with his hands, barely opened his eyes, and saw a row of small houses in the distance.

Those were residential houses in the suburbs.

The man thought of what he was carrying, gritted his teeth, and continued to move forward.

He walked through the snow, through the forest, and fell down the river bank, falling into the dry river covered with snow. The man got up and continued to stagger between the destroyed bridge piers.

He fell more than once and felt that he could not hold on, but there was a belief in his heart that supported him, allowing him to cross the river and come to the opposite bank.

He went up the wooden steps on the river bank and walked forward against the wind and snow. He pushed open the old iron gate used for blockade, passed through the shacks and streets by the river, and finally almost crawled to the door of the nearest house.

"Is there anyone... Help..."

He used up his last strength, hit the door and opened it.

There seemed to be several people in the hut, and there was firewood burning, which was very warm. The rise in temperature made the man sober up a little. He saw two people running towards him, but before he could speak, he fell to the ground and fainted because of a breath of relief.

Before he fell into coma, his last words were: "Save me... my... bag..." He fell down before he finished speaking.

...

"... What happened to you!"

The first person who ran to the man was a young girl with a short black ponytail. She looked at the fallen man and found that he not only had two gunshot wounds on his body, but was also seriously ill and unconscious.

She immediately said to her companions: "Erica! Go to the second floor, there are medicines and bandages there!"

"I'll get them! Anna, take him to the bed!" Erica quickly ran to the bathroom on the second floor.

Anna struggled to lift the man up and wanted to take him to the bed, but the man's unconscious body was extremely heavy, and she almost fell down.

At this time, another pair of strong hands supported Anna and the man, and then a steady voice sounded in her ears: "Let me do it, Miss Anna."

Anna turned her head to look at him, without reservation: "Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Li You."

Li You smiled gently, helped the man up instead of Anna, took him to the bed on the first floor and covered him with a quilt.

He also checked the man's injuries and found that he had a gunshot wound in his left arm and abdomen, but it was not serious and there was no heavy bleeding.

Li You touched his forehead again and had an idea in his mind.

Of course he knew this man. This was the man who appeared at the door of the heroine Anna's house at the beginning of the third plot DLC, Embers Smoldering, and a survivor of the Jewish Cathedral massacre outside the city, named Reuben.

In order to strike the fighting spirit of the Vishini people, the government forces launched targeted attacks and bombings on important facilities with their cultural imprints. The Jewish Cathedral located in the mountainous area at the edge of the city was one of the targets. The military carried out a brutal bloodbath there and destroyed most of the precious cultural relics.

Reuben was the only survivor. Before he escaped, he tried his best to bring out some religious relics, but he was also injured. Finally, he stumbled to the suburbs and was rescued by Anna.

In fact, Li You was not here to wait for him today. Although it was winter, who knew when Reuben would come? He just came to communicate with Anna and asked her to move.

When Reuben broke in, he had just sat down for a while. Hearing the noise over there, Li You understood what happened, so he helped without hesitation.

At this time, Anna came to the bed with Reuben's backpack and said, "He is in a bad condition."

Li You did not speak, and Erica had already run down with medicine and bandages and handed them to Anna: "Here!"

Anna originally planned to treat Ruben's wound, but Li You waved his hand and said, "It's okay, let me do it."

He checked Ruben's wound and found that there was no bullet residue, which was easy to handle. After giving Ruben a simple treatment, he took out the diluted healing potion from his backpack and poured it on his wound.

The bleeding caused by the previous treatment stopped quickly, and Ruben's body began to heal with the help of the wound medicine gourd.

"Give me a small bandage."

Anna handed it over as instructed, and Li You bandaged Ruben's wound, then covered him with clothes and sheets, and finally took out the potion for treating abnormal conditions and asked him to drink it.

"He has a serious fever. Give him some medicine."

Li You stood up, while Anna carefully gave Ruben the medicine and asked him to lie down and rest.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Li You."

Li You waved his hand: "You are obviously not rich in supplies, but you are still willing to help such an unknown person. How can I stand by and watch."

"Let him have a good rest and let's go to the next room to chat."

Erica said, "I'll watch him."

Anna nodded, put Ruben's backpack next to the bed, and then went to the next door with Li You and sat down.

Anna's home is a three-story wooden building, and there is a warehouse built by her grandfather next to it, which is used to store various artworks and cultural relics.

Li You came here this time just to persuade Anna to move, and at the same time to transport the cultural relics away and protect them.

Although he did not intend to side with the Vishni people, Li You had always recognized the value of national cultural relics. They were treasures of human civilization, so he was willing to help.

Of course, the main reason was... the ending of Smoldering Embers was too damn frustrating and made him very angry, so he wanted to change the original ending.

Now that the businessman Taras has been solved by him, he has successfully obtained the key to the bank vault, and there is no problem in preserving cultural relics.

The next thing to solve is the colonel Markov who wants the winner to take all.

Colonel Markov appears in the plot a few days after Anna and Ruben move into the museum. He told Milena that his superiors asked him to destroy all the artifacts in the museum, and that he could operate secretly to preserve these artifacts.

But the price is that Milena has to give him the museum's treasure, the famous painting "The Battle of the Leech Swamp".

Milena, the curator of the Berggren Museum, is Anna's companion and a brave person who has been dedicated to the protection of cultural relics. It's a pity that no matter which ending, he will die by the colonel's gun.

Because the colonel had no intention of fulfilling his promise in the first place.

When the final bombing begins, if the player chooses to give the famous painting to the colonel and then escape with other cultural relics, the colonel will block Milena driving at the level, kill her and steal the cultural relics.

If the player does not draw him, but chooses the channel of merchant Taras, the colonel who discovers that there is no artifact in the truck will become angry and shoot Milena.

Anyway, no matter what I choose, I can't save the curator. Even in the game, if you rush into the military camp and forcibly kill the colonel who is locked up by hiding, he will be resurrected at the end.

That's why Li Youcai said that the plot mode sacrifices a lot of things in order to tell stories.

But now, he can change these.

Anna sat opposite Li You and said, "Mr. Li You, I'm very grateful for your understanding. When you talk about moving... I'm actually a little interested."

She looked at this old wooden house full of nostalgia and said, "This is my home. I grew up here, and my grandfather took care of me. His mark is everywhere here, and I don't want to leave."

"However, the situation is getting more and more serious now, and it is too far away from the city, so the pressure to survive is too great. So I did plan to move.

"But…"

Anna looked through the door and glanced at Ruben in the next room, and Li You also understood what she meant.

"Because of this person's appearance, we can't move for the time being, right?"

"Well. After all, besides him, there is also Erica's father who needs to be taken care of." Anna also apologized a little, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li You. You were obviously entrusted by my grandfather's friends and wanted to help us, but I..."

Li Youyou: "It's okay. You don't have to make a decision in a hurry. I came here just to chat with you."

"If you are willing, just wait until Lu... wait until this person's physical condition recovers before moving."

Anna bowed her head to Li You and said, "Thank you for your understanding."

Li You just smiled and said: "This man's situation is not optimistic. The trauma is okay. I left some medicine for you. It will not be difficult to deal with. But he is very ill and it is extremely cold now. You need a lot of fuel to keep warm. ”

"Just in time, I brought something that you might need."

Li You fumbled around in his backpack for a while, and finally took out a sturdy wooden-handled fire ax.

Anna: "!?"

How did you fit such a big guy in?

Li You didn't give her any time to think. He placed the fire ax on the table and said, "Just use this to split the wooden furniture into fuel."

As mentioned before, the difficulty of the Smoldering Embers DLC is not low. For example, in the early stage, there is the dilemma of destroying cultural relics and making firewood for heating to save lives, or saving the cultural relics at all costs.

If you are a novice playing this DLC, I am afraid it will be difficult not to burn some less important artifacts to keep warm.

However, this DLC actually has an extreme gameplay at the beginning, that is, don't care about anything else, just pile up metal workbenches like crazy, upgrade to level 2 in two days, and get an axe directly on the third day, and then you don't have to worry about fuel anymore.

Of course, playing this way is still related to gameplay. Because in the game, if there is no axe, even if the warehouse is full of abandoned wooden furniture, the character can't disassemble them and burn them. The real world is naturally not so rigid.

But even so, having an axe in hand is also a great help to Anna.     So Li You specially brought the axe he made, which was originally intended for her. This fire axe was made by him, and its durability is much higher than those crudely made props in the game. Basically, it is not a problem to use an axe to "pass the level".

By the way, the performance of the character Anna is the same as Erica and Esma, and the characteristic is silent infiltration.

The three female killers of Berglun.

Anna did not refuse and accepted the axe.

The rain outside had stopped, but it was still snowing, so Li You said it was time to leave.

Anna thanked Li You again and sent him to the street entrance.

…

On the way back, Li You was also thinking.

Reuben had already arrived at Anna's house, and the plot of Embers Smoldering officially began. The biggest problem with this DLC is that there were several large-scale bombings during the process, and small-scale shelling never stopped.

Probably because the siege lasted so long in the cold winter, the government army was anxious, so the means became more and more inhumane.

The shelling at the end covered nearly half of the city, and I don't know how many innocent refugees were buried in the rubble.

Li You was also considering whether this incident could be prevented?

Even if it was not for anything else, it was worth doing so for the safety of himself and his companions. After all, even he and Edge were no different from ordinary people under the bombardment of modern heavy artillery, and even Yuzu could not stand it.

The DLC plot does not specifically show which areas were bombed. Li You only knows that the bank's underground vault is relatively safe, and Adam's apartment building is fine.

But in this world, the plot details have changed too much, and this kind of thing is really unpredictable.

So if it is feasible, he still wants to avoid the bombing directly.

As for the specific method...

It will naturally fall on the side of the government army.

Li You went all the way back and came to the riverside hut where Malik and Esma now live.

After knocking on the door, it was Marco who came to open the door.

"Li You! How is it going?"

Li You entered the house and put down his backpack: "It's going well."

Marco is here for nothing else, just to help Malik and Esma.

Li You also needs to convey some important news through Malik, and he can't make any mistakes here. And even if this area is relatively safe, there are risks for the two of them.

So, Li You arranged for his companions to come and stay for two days every once in a while to help them.

It just happened to be Marco's turn today.

There is no need to worry about the villa shelter and the orphanage. There are Adam and Boris at the orphanage, one with T1 and the other with T2 combat power. The defense reinforcement of the small building has been completed long ago. Unless it is attacked by soldiers, nothing will happen.

As for the villa, it is currently occupied by Aggie, Roman, and Livia, and there will be no accidents.

Of course, during the crime wave, Aggie will also go to the orphanage to help, and Roman will be responsible for swapping shifts with Marco and come to the hut to help.

But he and Malik don't get along very well. After all, one escaped because he couldn't stand the rebels' actions, and the other thinks that the rebels are the saviors.

Fortunately, there was Esma mediating, so there was no conflict. In addition, Li You had made a statement in advance, and Roman did not make trouble. Instead, Esma heard the exact news of the rebels from Roman, and had a deeper understanding of what Li You said before.

Here, it was Esma who went out to search last night, because she also had to find news for Malik. So she is resting now.

Li You went directly to the basement and found Malik.

"What's the situation?"

Malik, who was sitting in front of the radio station, took off his headphones and looked unhappy: "The news has been broadcast, but there are still people who don't believe it."

"In addition, the government army is actively looking for us."

Li You snorted: "They are quite good at this."

On the day when the city was closed due to heavy snow, in order to cope with the pressure from the international community, the government army announced that they would open a temporary humanitarian channel for the trapped citizens of Bergeron. But the specific time and place have not been determined and will be announced as soon as possible.

This news caused an uproar among the refugees in the city.

And the spokesman of the armed forces of the Graznavian government, that is, the government army, also claimed that when the humanitarian channel is opened, only those who are seriously injured, seriously ill, or parents with children can pass.

In the chaotic Bergeron, it is conceivable what choice such a request will make those crazy people make.

As a result, although the crime wave in the city has subsided, the most extreme gangsters have become more active.

So in the past two days, Li You has received many commissions from neighbors, hoping that he can help deal with those crazy robbers.

The actions of these robbers completely crossed Li You's bottom line. He would not refuse in the first place, not to mention that doing so would also earn him gratitude from the children. So Li You has been busy these two days clearing out the most inhumane criminals.

At the same time, Li You also asked Malik to broadcast the news, telling the refugees that the so-called humanitarian channel by the government forces was completely a cover. The military planned to round up the refugees, kill them and then blame the rebels in response to pressure from the international community.

Although this approach is extremely crude and a discerning person will know what is going on at a glance, it is indeed effective as a means of combating public opinion. As for the lives of refugees? Government forces didn't take it seriously.

After the news was broadcast, the refugees were in an uproar again. Based on the trust accumulated by Malik and his radio station and the past atrocities committed by government forces, many sane people believed the news.

However, there are still people who are desperate or want to make a desperate move and are unwilling to let go of this "opportunity" and are preparing to pass through the humanitarian channel.

To these people, Li You had no other choice but to say good luck to you... Oh no, why don't you put other people's children down for me!

Then he killed countless bandits who tried to abduct the children, and successfully gained the children's gratitude.

At this time, Li You comforted him and said: "Don't worry, Esma has been very careful when going out recently. No one discovered that you moved here. The government troops can't find it."

"Rather than this, I hope you will monitor and see if you can hear any news about Markov, the colonel of the government army."

Malik nodded subconsciously, but then he was stunned: "Markov? Wait, I remember I heard news about him today... Yes!"

Malik took out a piece of manuscript paper from the pile on the table and handed it to Li You: "This is the military communication I intercepted this morning. Markov was mentioned in it. See if it is useful."

Li You was a little surprised. Did the information come so easily? He took the manuscript and looked at it, then was stunned.

The short message intercepted by Malik was written in pencil on the manuscript paper:

"…Colonel Malfoy…has been cleared…of the church rebels…and will return…ready for…action."

Li You immediately understood that the tragedy in the synagogue where Ruben was located was also caused by Markov's leadership.

It must be because of this that he was not in the city a few days ago.

But now, having completed his mission, he will soon return to the government army outpost.

Li You's mind immediately became active.

"It seems... we can go see this bandit colonel."

He didn't stay any longer, and after giving Marco a few words, he returned to the villa shelter.

That night, Li You took Aiji to the army outpost.

The army outpost stands near the entrance to the eastern part of the city. Because that area of ​​the city had been destroyed, occupied and occupied by government forces, there were basically no rebel activities, so they set up outposts here to fully alert the lurking rebels in the central and western cities.

Li You and Aiji sneaked in here.

The military outpost is quite large, with two small buildings, several watchtowers, searchlights and sirens.

The number of soldiers in the army outposts in both classic mode and Embers of Smoldering is the same eight, while Embers of Smoldering only has one more colonel who does not hold a gun but has a health lock.

However, in the classic mode, there are no alarms at the army outposts, and the soldiers are scattered. But in the smoldering embers, the alert here was immediately turned on. When the alarm went off, everyone in the military camp gathered around. It was basically impossible to achieve full assassination, and it was very difficult to pass the level.

Especially since you can't take the initiative to attack Markov, you can only rely on the assassination mechanism to forcibly solve it.

Of course, for Li You and Aiji, it is not a problem to sneak in.

The two of them hid in the darkness, and Aggie detected the location of the soldiers' patrols, avoiding their eyes and ears, and easily slipped in.

Although the small building in the deepest part of the military camp where Colonel Markov was located was heavily guarded and difficult to sneak into, Li You and Aiji gave up on sneaking in from the inside and instead chose to climb the wall and reach the roof.

Ai Ji can easily climb walls, and after Li You obtained the Spider Rune in the Dead Cells world, he can also act like her.

The two came to the top of Colonel Markov's room and began to listen to the voices inside.

A young voice reported respectfully: "...Colonel, I just received the order from the headquarters."

Markov's voice sounded absent-minded: "Tell me."

The soldier said: "There are two in total. The first one is about the humanitarian channel. It says that the rebels will try to escape the city through the humanitarian channel. They will pretend to be citizens, such as parents with children or the wounded. They cannot be Lie and deal with them depending on the situation.”

Markov snorted: "...Hmph. It's still the same. This is clear enough. You know what to do, right?"

"clear!"

"What about the second one?"

"The second article is about the shelling arrangements. It says that you should submit the location of the rebel hiding spots and important cultural facilities of the Visni people as soon as possible. The headquarters will conduct shelling again within this week."

The colonel pondered for a while this time before saying: "Okay, I understand. Just reply and I will submit the report within three days. Go down."

"--yes!"

The soldier opened the door and left.

The colonel stayed in the room, stroking his beard and muttering to himself: "...I didn't find anything particularly valuable this time. Sure enough, I still have to go to the museum. Otherwise, I won't even be able to get any oil or water. No, wouldn’t my job as a frontline commander be in vain?”

On the rooftop, Aiji had already clenched his fists and said to Li You: "This scum. Let's kill him now?"

Li You thought for a moment, but smiled: "Don't worry, I have a better idea."
