Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

A new day.

In a bar called "JACKED AND COKE" in Heywood, a big man in a suit with a tuft of golden hair on his forehead was drinking to drown his sorrows.

"Fuck! Can this TM lose!?"

The big man cursed in a low voice while drinking.

The big man immersed in his own world naturally did not notice that there were several pairs of eyes around him, staring at him calmly. He was like a fly caught in a spider web, but he was still unaware.

After another glass of wine, the big man finally couldn't hold on, and fell on the bar with a thump, losing consciousness.

In the secret communication channel, Mann's voice sounded:

"Prepare for action."

He gave an order, and everyone followed.

This scene is not unfamiliar to Li You, who has watched the Edgewalker animation. It is the first commission that David in the animation received after joining Mann's team.

Of course, the world line of this world is also very different from the animation.

In the animation, David and Gloria were not rescued after the car accident. David sent his mother to a black clinic, then went home to raise money and went to school as usual the next day.

The next morning, he was picked on by Shengnan and beaten up, and then he received a call from the black clinic, informing him of Gloria's death.

That night, David, who could no longer bear everything he had experienced, went to find a cyborg doctor he knew before, installed the Sian Westin found in Gloria's relics on himself, and went to the academy the next morning and punched Shengnan in the classroom.

Then, David and Lucy officially met, cooperated to steal chips, raced on a stretcher, and watched Mewtwo on the moon.

By the way, the performance of racing on a stretcher was the annual god-making clip in Li You's heart, with full marks.

Just when the air in Lucy's house was filled with the smell of ambiguity and hormones, the Mann team came to the door-David was fooled by Lucy.

Fortunately, he proved his worth with his eloquence and actions, and won an opportunity.

This is the timeline of the original animation.

As for this commission, it was received by David when another day came.

The big man in the bar is called Maxim, who is Tanaka's bodyguard and driver, and Faraday wants the navigation data of Tanaka's luxury car.

He came here to drink because he lost money in a boxing bet by Mann's team. David's task in the animation is to use Sian Westin to pull out the data chip behind Maxim's neck without being noticed, copy it, and then insert it back into his neck.

This is indeed a difficult job without Sian Westin, and it is also Mann's test for David to see if he can control Sian Westin and produce results.

Although there was an accident during the mission, David did not disappoint him in the end.

But now, the situation is different.

After Li You intervened, the world line changed drastically, not to mention David, he did not install Sian Westin - that thing is still lying in Li You's backpack.

Therefore, without a character like David in the animation who could steal the chip without being noticed by the target, Mann's team changed their plan.

Overall, there was not much change. For example, what Li You wanted to complain about was that the trickery in the boxing match remained the same, except that the chip thief was replaced by Lucy from David.

After all, when Lucy had nothing to do, she would steal chips on the subway to earn some pocket money, so this task was easy for her.

However, it was not difficult to steal the chip, but how to put it back was a little troublesome. Fortunately, Mann and his team had already come up with a solution.

At this time, everyone started to act. Lucy, holding a cigarette, walked calmly from behind Maxim.

She seemed to want to flick the ash on the ashtray on the bar counter and moved slightly closer to the bar counter, but her eyes flashed at the same time, and the chip behind Maxim's neck popped out and fell into her hands.

All the actions were smooth and the drunk Maxim was unaware.

Lucy came to the other side of the bar very naturally, handed the chip to Dolio who was sitting there, and began to copy the internal data through the instrument in her hand.

In the animation, everything went smoothly until here, but then an accident occurred. Maxim received a call from his boss and recalled him urgently.

So the Mann team at that time had to change the plan, let David take the chip to Maxim's car, download the data with Lucy, and let Rebecca hold Maxim.

If Li You wanted to intervene in these small matters, it would not be difficult to change, but this time he had no intention of interfering.

For various reasons, Mann had made a very sufficient plan to deal with this little accident, and he only needed to watch.

Sure enough, the data of the chip here was only copied a little bit, and Maxim received a call from Tanaka over there.

"Not good!" Sasha, who was in charge of monitoring, said in the communication, "He was urgently recalled!"

Mann snorted: "Company dogs are really... I would definitely not answer this call!"

"Activate the emergency plan! Team A is dispatched!"

"--Okay!"

Maxim at the bar hung up the call, shaking his head and about to get up, another burly figure full of alcohol squeezed over and passed by him.

"Hey--!!" The big man shouted at the time, "You bumped into me, buddy!"

"Ah?" Maxim turned around with a dark face and glared at him.

There is no way, no matter how good-tempered a person is, if he has just experienced the series of tortures of losing money in boxing gambling, taking a vacation, and being called back to work by his boss, his temper will definitely not get better.

If an ordinary person was glared at like this by him, he would probably become intimidated. But not today. The strong man opposite Maxim was not much smaller than him, and he looked like he was not easy to mess with. He raised his head and said back:

"Ah what, are you deaf? I said you bumped into me! Apologize quickly!"

The muscles on Maxim's face twitched twice, but he still couldn't hold it back. He took two steps forward and confronted the strong man.

"...What did you just say?"

The strong man did not give in, put his hands on his hips, showed off the Valentino gang tattoo under his jacket, and said: "Sorry, old man! If you still can't hear it, go find a prosthetic doctor for treatment." Ears, company dog!”

As he spoke, he took a sip on the ground.

Maxim couldn't bear it anymore and punched him on the spot!

"Ahh——!!"

The strong man who came up to find trouble was naturally Jack. He was here to help out with friendship today. After all, Heywood was his home.

His mission is also very simple, which is to provoke a conflict with Maxim and create opportunities for Mann and others.

Jack had already shown the image of a drunkard who hated company dogs. At this time, he deliberately refused to hide. He was punched by Maxim and retreated repeatedly. Then he raised his head angrily and said: "Damn company dogs, how dare you hit him?" I!"

He said, raised his fists and rushed forward, wrestling with Maxim.

They made a lot of noise and were extremely eye-catching in this small bar.

However, Mann, Jack and others had taken care of things before that. At this time, the surrounding members of the Valentino Gang not only did not come to stop them, but instead watched them with great interest.

Li You, Yuzi, Aiji and Sasha were gathered around the pool table opposite the bar, also watching the excitement.

"Good! Good fight!"

"Right hand, right hand, grab his right hand! No, choke his neck!"

Li You was even making noises while watching, as if he was worried that the world would not be in chaos.

Mann and Dorio, who didn't know why, were still praising his good acting skills, but Yuzi, Aiji, and Sasha, who had gotten to know Li You better, could see that Li You was really happy...

Li You: It’s time for my favorite electronic cricket fight again.

Okay, just kidding, forget it Maxim, Jack is not an electronic cricket.

But Li You wasn't worried about him. With Brother Jack's body there, he wouldn't be able to defeat Maxim who was so drunk that he couldn't walk steadily. Rather, in order to keep up with Dolio's progress, he had to be careful not to really beat Maxim to the ground.

"...Data copying completed!" Dorio quickly sent out a signal, and Mann immediately issued another order: "Hand over the chip, Team B is dispatched!"

Lucy then took the chip again and turned around and left the bar.

"Zila——"

The door to the bar soon opened again, and David and Rebecca ran in, wearing casual clothes.

Yes, David also came with this commission.

It's not that the world line is closed or anything, it's purely because the difficulty is very low that Li You brought him to see the world.

As for Gloria...Li You directly chose to hide it from her.

With a personality like hers, persuasion is very tiring.

After Mann heard about it, he was very supportive of it. He said at the time: "Sooner or later, we will come into contact with this kind of thing, so why not do it now so that we can keep an eye on it for you."

He even suggested that David could have a sense of participation, so he was incorporated into Group B—him and Rebecca.

At this time, after entering the door, they saw Jack and Maxim fighting.

"Brother——! Why are you fighting with others again!"

Hearing their shouts, Jack grabbed Maxim's arm and stopped: "...Eh? Why are you here?"

"What are you still talking about, brother! Are you picking on people in the company again? My mother-in-law just scolded you last week!"

As David spoke, he came up and tried to pull Jack away: "Stop fighting, let go! Do you still want to be scolded by your mother-in-law?"

Jack didn't resist this time and allowed him to separate himself from Maxim. As for Maxim, he had always been suppressed by Jack and could not fight back.

On the other side, Rebecca had already brought a towel and wiped Maxim's wound: "Are you okay, uncle? My brother drank too much again. Don't worry about it!"

Maxim's self-esteem was satisfied, but naturally he couldn't give in. He snorted coldly at that time: "Don't care? He is a commoner, and he dares to provoke me! I can't bear this, I must teach him a lesson!"

"Uncle, you have a lot of money, so don't be like him~"

Rebecca said, pouring him a glass of wine from the bar, then walked around behind him and massaged his shoulders and neck. Her skillful techniques immediately made Maxim let out a comfortable moan.

David had already pulled Jack to sit next to him, and then came over to apologize to Maxim: "Sorry, sir, our brother really hates company employees..."

At this time, Rebecca took the opportunity to put the chip back into Maxim's slot, but did not insert it completely. Then she pretended to be casual and said, "Ah, uncle, the chip behind your neck seems to have popped out." It’s coming!”

Maxim reached out and touched it, and then he realized: "Oh no, the boss's side...!"

He didn't care about enjoying Rebecca's massage. He got up from the ground and said to Jack, who was applying ice to his wound, "Remember this" and hurried out.

After Maxim left, the farce in the bar came to an end.

"…Data replication is complete, remote transmission is complete. The commission is over!"

As Mann announced this in the communication, Jack, David and Rebecca, who participated in the operation, cheered:

"Haha, good job--!!"

"The commission is completed!"     "It's your first time on the stage, and you performed well!"

Others also looked at them with a smile. Mann walked in from the back door with Qi Wei and said, "Everyone has worked hard. Brother Jack, David, Rebecca, Lucy, you are great heroes!"

"Let's go! Go to Turbo, I'll treat you tonight!"

This mission was indeed smooth. Li You, who was watching the show the whole time, nodded and commented, "Well done."

"It's much better than a guy who was busy watching the show and playing billiards from beginning to end." Edge complained bluntly on the side.

Li You didn't care: "Such a simple task, why does it take all the people to do it?"

As he spoke, he leaned down and hit a shot: "Go in!"

The ball didn't go in. Because Yuzu on the side suddenly reached out and grabbed the white ball, curiously asking, "Is this how to play? Just grab it?"

Li You: "..."

Edge, Sasha: Laughing.

On the other side, David was hugged by Jack's shoulders on one side and Rebecca leaned on the other side, but his eyes kept looking at Lucy who was smoking in the corner of the bar.

"…I won't go to the celebration party." Lucy said at this moment.

"Eh...?" David was a little surprised.

Fortunately, Mann just waved his hand: "No, you are one of the protagonists this time, you must come!"

"Let's go, everyone get in the car, let's go to Japan Street!"

Lucy sighed after hearing this, but did not insist, and went out with everyone.

David was relieved a little bit, and came to Li You: "Master, are we going too?"

Li You looked at his expectant expression, and suddenly he became mischievous and teased: "What if I say that we don't go with you?"

David: "...Ah?"

"Hahaha!" Li You laughed, "I'm teasing you! How can I not know what you are thinking? Let's go, we will follow."

David scratched his head a little embarrassedly, but still said: "Okay!"

Soon, Japan Street, Turbo Bar.

Everyone gathered together, drinking and laughing. Pira was performing acrobatics with his specially customized prosthetic hands, which made everyone laugh and cheer.

Not only the Mann team, but also Jack, even David and Yuzu, have joined in and are watching his performance.

Li You sat a little further away from Edge and Sasha. Including Sasha, none of the three of them particularly like the lively type. As for Yuzu, he joined in purely because he thought Pyrrha's acrobatics were fun.

However, apart from them, Lucy did not participate, but leaned on the hood of a sports car to the side and smoked a cigarette.

Rebecca walked out of the bar, holding two glasses of carbonated drinks, and placed one of them in front of David: "We have a good cooperation today! Come, I'll treat you to a drink!"

"Your master seems to say not to give you alcohol first, but Coke will be fine, right?"

David looked at the carbonated water in front of him, a little embarrassed: "Uh... Actually, I'm not used to carbonated drinks."

"Huh? Is it true?" Rebecca was obviously surprised, "There are people who can't even accept carbonated drinks?"

"...Yeah, but thank you anyway!" David picked up the cup, "I'll go to see my master."

As he said, he picked up the cup and came to Li You's table.

"Master."

"You're here." Li You smiled peacefully, "How is it, is the cyberpunk life interesting?"

David nodded vigorously: "Very interesting!"

"You are only involved in the corner today. In fact, to complete a commission, the preliminary preparation is the most important, so don't underestimate it."

"I understand! Master."

"Yeah." Li You nodded again, "But no matter what, you did a good job today, and cooperated perfectly with Rebecca."

"Here, this is for you, just consider it as a reward this time."

Li You handed a dark gold punk knife to David.

"What is this...?"

"I made it casually." Li You said, "It's not a precious thing, but you don't have your own gun yet, so use this instead."

"When you learn to mobilize your energy, this knife can also be used in emergencies."

Although it was just a small thing, David was still very happy: "Thank you, Master!"

Li You waved his hand: "Okay, you don't have to stay here with me, don't you have other people you want to talk to? Go ahead, be brave."

"Ah, this..." David blushed again, but did not deny it, "Then I... I'll try."

Li You nodded in approval, and then saw David approaching Lucy cautiously, maybe saying two or three words to her, Lucy left with a cigarette in her mouth, and David came back a little dejected.

"...She doesn't seem to want to pay attention to me."

"Take your time, young man." Li You patted his shoulder.

Li You didn't intend to interfere, everything depends on them.

David sat here for a while, and was called back to Mann's team by Rebecca.

Li Youze looked at the new message displayed on his phone, his eyes flashed: "I'm going to answer a call."

He came to the side and called back: "V?"

"Have you finished your work?" V asked.

"Nothing happened a long time ago. Compared to this, you are sending me a message now. Have you found something about what you said before?"

V nodded: "Indeed."

"Last time you mentioned it to me, I checked the information related to Tanaka's R\u0026D team, and I did find something.

"The information said that they seem to be secretly developing some special prosthesis. The confidentiality level of this project is very high, and it is the same both internally and externally. If I hadn't taken over Kate's resources, I wouldn't know about this.

"That project was named 'Cyborg' by Tanaka's team."

Li You listened quietly until then and said, "So it seems that the ultimate goal of the commission I received today should be this thing."

"It seems so." V also expressed his approval, "The work Faraday assigned to you is specifically for Arasaka, so it must be the work of military technology. And the only thing that Tanaka has that deserves their attention is the Cyborg project."

"You already know it?" Li You's face showed a thoughtful look, although he actually knew the answer a long time ago.

And in the final analysis, it was actually him who had been pushing V to look up information about Cyborg.

As for his purpose? It can be said that it is basically the same as military technology - he is interested in Cyborg.

As an experimental prosthesis developed by Arasaka, and it is said to be tailor-made for Adam Hammer, the upper and lower limits of Cyborg have actually been clearly shown in the animation.

Cyborg is a prosthesis that uses the gravity generating device to the extreme. Whether it is attacking or defending, or its own activities, it is supported by the anti-gravity device.

And this extreme characteristic does give Cyborg great destructive power, and it can even overturn a small army of military technology without the enemy knowing its characteristics.

But at the same time, this also makes its shortcomings very obvious.

Adam Hammer himself in the animation commented sharply that if this thing is used by ordinary people, their bodies can't support the weight of Cyborg at all. Once the gravity generating device is gone, the wearer will only be crushed by his own weight.

Not to mention, the exaggerated consumption of the "empathy" of the implanted person by the Cyborg device - which can be simply understood as human nature or reason - makes it impossible for ordinary people and ordinary elite soldiers to use it.

So in summary, this thing is actually very useless, even for Arasaka, it is not of high value.

That is, military technology does not know its disadvantages, and only sees its possible power, so it keeps chasing this thing.

As for why Li You wants this thing, this question is not complicated. He is thinking, maybe he can try to install the Cybernetic Powerplant on Night Demon?

The specific plan will be discussed after the thing is obtained, and obtaining the Cybernetic Powerplant itself is only the last link in his series of plans.

Before that, he also planned to use this thing and a lot of big things around it with military technology to help V contribute to the Arasaka Company.

The current V has better conditions than the original company V in the game, and Li You has established a deep cooperative relationship with her. In this case, he naturally wants to help his allies and enhance her influence.

If V can be allowed to take sole power in the Counterintelligence Department and her favorability can be raised at the same time, it will be several times more convenient to do anything in Night City in the future.

In the communication, V continued: "… Two or three days ago, after discovering that Military Technology was particularly interested in the project of Tanaka's team, I asked people to relax the control over Faraday. I think he will probably bring me some surprises."

"Sure enough, after confirming that no one was watching him - at least he thought so - he quickly contacted Military Technology and received a new commission from them."

Li You continued: "It's the one I received today, right? I was wondering how Faraday could suddenly come out alive and kicking again, and hook up with Military Technology again. It turned out that you let him do it."

He was indeed a little surprised. After all, he was busy teaching and had less contact with V recently. He didn't expect that she had quietly laid out a plan in secret.

And the key is that her plan was exactly what Li You wanted.

V smiled and said, "As your hometown says, this is called playing the long game to catch the big fish. Look, isn't there a harvest? And he actually found you, which can only be said to be a poor vision."

Li You: "...You said this as if I have no business ability. I warn you, you are slandering me!"

V glanced at him through the screen: "Why, you still want to sue me? The Arasaka legal team is waiting at any time! Have you heard of Pizza Hut on the West Coast?"

Li You: "...You are so cruel, I will remember this grudge."

"Hehe, you remember it, I still remember your grudge."

Li You: "?"

"...Forget it, stop talking nonsense. What are you going to do next? Keep fishing?"

V said: "Since Faraday found you to do the job, it's perfect. If there is any intelligence, we will verify each other as soon as possible. I will be responsible for controlling the situation, and you will execute it on the spot. Let us swallow all the benefits in the end!"

"Winner takes all, right? Very good, just what I want."

Li You also smiled: "Then, keep in touch."
