Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

It was late at night when Li You and his party arrived at the Stone Ridge Mountain.

Today's Night Devil's Nest is completely different from what it was more than half a month ago.

The hatching speed of the Night Devil's Nest has been completely different since the core was upgraded to level three. Now it has been more than 20 days since the last Night Wanderer attack. If the Night Devil is hatched without limit, the total number should be more than 300 now.

But in fact, because the energy reserve of the core of the nest cannot keep up, the total number of Night Devil is less than 200 so far.

If there are more, not to mention the energy consumed by hatching, even if the Night Devil is allowed to sleep around the nest all day, it cannot be supplied.

After all, the energy supply cannot keep up, which is a very realistic problem.

At present, the efficiency of the power conversion organ of the nest is too low, and the bad land is too barren. The energy collected is really not enough for the Night Devil army, so the number of Night Devil can only be maintained at this level.

But even so, once this Night Devil army is set out, it will be able to deal an extremely heavy blow to any force in the bad land.

The energy supply problem of the core of the nest needs to be solved first, but there is no rush. Moreover, in Night City in 2076, the firepower of modern weapons has also been greatly improved, and it is difficult for the Night Demons to gain a prominent advantage against the company's troops.

So Li You attaches more importance to the method of improving the individual combat effectiveness of the Night Demons.

"Squeak--"

The brake sounded, and the armed Merrimack and the Porsche 911 stopped at the intersection of Stone Ridge Mountain one after another.

Yuzu got out of the car, then held two vortex gang prosthetic doctors in one hand, grabbed Grayson in the other hand, and waited with Edge.

Li You drove Johnny's Porsche to an abandoned house somewhere in Stone Ridge Mountain and hid it.

If this thing is driven out and flaunted in the city, it will be easy to be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. Anyway, he has logged in to the car on his mobile phone, and can summon it directly when necessary, just stop here.

After finishing this, Li You returned to the outside of the intersection bar. Here, four sensing Night Demons were already waiting respectfully.

Li You nodded and signaled to Youzi and Aggie: "Let's go down."

The passage leading to the Night Demon's lair has also been modified. Now the cave in the bar is just one of them, and it is hidden behind the bar counter and is no longer so conspicuous.

Even a few days ago, a small group of Adeka people passed by Stone Ridge Mountain and stayed here for a while, and did not find anything unusual.

Lifting the floor and going down to the bottom of the cave, a huge underground space appeared in front of us, which covered an area of ​​almost half a football field and had a vertical height of more than five meters.

This was expanded by the Night Demons during this period to accommodate more companions.

Although the space is large, there is no need to worry about collapse. The Night Demons seem to be natural architects. When widening the underground cave, they chose the most stable support structure without any instruction.

At the same time, they also used a secretion produced by the core of the nest as a reinforcing material, mixed it into the soil, and doubled its strength.

In Li You's opinion, this underground cave has a bit of a honeycomb or ant nest.

In the underground cave, there were densely but neatly arranged sleeping night demons, curled up on the ground, each covered with a thin film, and a blood vessel emitting orange-yellow light extended from it, connecting to the core of the nest in the center along the ground.

Of the two hundred night demons in the nest, 90% were basically in a sleeping state, and only about 20 night demons were active - of course, all ten sensory night demons were among them.

"Where are the two night ghosts' cyborg doctors?" Li You hadn't been here for a while, and was not familiar with the renovations made to the night demons.

Aiji pointed to one side of the cave: "In the compartment over there."

There are compartments?

Li You came over and saw, wow, it was really a compartment.

The square little room was divided by wooden boards and iron sheets, and even connected to electric lights. This room was like an ordinary apartment compartment.

The two night ghosts' cyborg doctors were locked in it, and they actually had a computer that was disconnected from the Internet. If you don't consider that there is a dormitory for hundreds of night demons outside the door, their conditions are not too bad.

However, the slow progress of the two people has exhausted Li You's patience.

He pushed open the door, watched the two people who were awakened jump in front of him and kept apologizing, and shook his head.

"I gave you a chance."

The two were horrified and begged for mercy, but Li You just turned his head and asked the night demons who were responsible for monitoring them to understand the situation. Then he pointed his hand and asked the night demons to grab the man on the left, drag him away, and throw him into the transformation pool.

The night ghost kept screaming in the transformation pool, but he couldn't climb out. The special solution mixed with a high concentration of Harlan virus quickly swallowed him. Another night ghost was paralyzed by fear.

"...Are you all awake, gentlemen?" Li You turned his head and looked at the three captives who were brought here.

Grayson, the subordinate of the Hammer, and Osma and Brandon, the cyborg doctors of the Whirlpool Gang, have all woken up at this moment. They are looking at the Night Wanderer in the transformation pool, which is gradually becoming motionless, with pale faces, and their backs are cold.

"You can see that this is my secret base." Li You introduced generously, "This one, and the Night Wanderer in the pool, are both part-time cyborg doctors."

“Their original mission was to study how to enable night demons—the soldiers around you—to use brain-computer chips and prosthetics, but more than half a month has passed and there is still no result.

"But don't get me wrong. I went here not because I couldn't get results, but because I was sneaking around and even trying to escape secretly. I brought it on myself."

Li Youyou said, looking at the three of them indifferently: "I guess the three of you wouldn't do such a stupid thing, right?"

The two members of the Whirlpool Gang have fallen silent. At this moment, in their eyes, Li You is more terrifying and crazy than their bosses, Brick and Royce. In order to survive, they can only acquiesce.

As for Grayson, he smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to die yet."

Li You nodded with satisfaction and said: "Grayson, regarding your mission. I will definitely deal with Heavy Hammer later, so what you have to do is to tell me all the information you know and make suggestions for me." ”

Grayson breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "No problem, as long as you trust me, boss, I will definitely..."

"No, you misunderstood." Li You suddenly interrupted, "You do have some value, but I can't trust you. So there is one step before I use you."

Grayson was stunned for a moment. Before he understood what Li You meant, he felt Yuzi lift him up and walk towards another transformation pool next to him.

Grayson: "!?"

"Wait a minute! What are you doing!? You didn't mean to..."

"Plop——"

Yuzu ignored him at all, raised her hand and threw him into the pool.

Grayson was soaked in the solution and struggled desperately to stick his head out, begging for mercy: "No, let me go! I will be loyal!"

Li You leaned down by the transformation pool and said, "You have been with Zhongmai for so many years, and you can always betray him at any cost. How do you think I can trust you?"

Grayson was speechless for a moment.

"Don't worry, you won't die. This pool is not used to torture you." Li You continued, "Its function is to give you a new life."

Li You waved, and the two night wandering ghosts on the side sensed the night demons and came to him.

"Have you seen these two night demons? They were originally members of the night ghosts, but after soaking in the pool, they are now my loyal warriors. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li You said this not only to Grayson, but also to the two Whirlpool Gang prosthetic doctors.

The two Uzumaki gangs trembled after hearing this, while Grayson was stunned and struggled even harder: "No——!! You can't do this!"

Li You ignored him at all: "This is what I can do to people like you."

With that said, he stopped talking to Grayson, who was gradually losing his strength to struggle, and looked at the two Uzumaki Gang prosthetic doctors, saying, "Then, let's work together with this forerunner."

"I won't promise to let you go when things are done, which is unrealistic at first sight, but if you can satisfy me, I won't turn you into night demons."

Hearing this, the two Uzumaki Gang prosthetic doctors were relieved and nodded repeatedly: "We will do our best! We will do our best!"

"Very good, then I'll wait and see. If you need anything, just tell the Night Demons."

He waved his hand, and Osma and Brandon lifted up the frightened Night Walker on the ground and returned to the compartment.

"It may not be enough to rely on them alone." Li You said to Ai Ji, "The night wandering ghosts are just making do. Although the two whirlpool gangs are transformation madmen, they may not be able to understand the human body and the night devil's body. Difference. You still need to find a professional doctor with sufficient level."

Agee said: "But professional prosthetics doctors are not like these gangsters. They treat ordinary people and treat their injuries. You can't tie them up."

Li You smiled: "Don't worry, I won't touch those good doctors."

After making arrangements for the Night Demon's lair, Li You drove the Merrimac and returned to Night City with Yuzi and Aggie.

The next step is to continue preparations.

…

At midnight, Li You came to Watson's Kabuki District, Pinewood Crossing.

Walking into the alley at the intersection, you can find an inconspicuous prosthetic clinic.

The clinic's store is not big, but its business is good. When Li You came, even though it was so late at night, he happened to see the previous customer getting off the operating chair.

Li You was not in a hurry and waited silently outside the door. He nodded to Aggie, who then took Yuzi and turned to the back of the alley.

After the prosthetic doctor completed the operation, he went directly back to the armchair in the corner of the room and lay down comfortably, and then looked at Li You at the door:

"Guest, do you need anything?"

Li You looked at him with interest. This prosthetic doctor is very young, looking to be in his thirties at most. He is wearing a cashmere sweater that is obviously not cheap, and a pair of leather shoes on his feet.

If it weren't for the surgical cap on his head and the auxiliary device on his left arm, it would be hard to tell that he was a prosthetic doctor.

The man's name was Charles Backus, a doctor who had recently become famous in the Kabuki District and was very popular with his clients.

However, Li You knew very well what he was doing behind the scenes.

Seeing his contented expression, Li You was not in a hurry to fall out directly, but came up to chat with him.

"Have you been here long?"

Charles replied nonchalantly: "It's been more than a year. It was difficult at the beginning, but I met some friends some time ago and they helped me."

"I just realized that supply network is very important for prosthetic doctors. So I am cooperating with people in a very flexible way."

Li You now knew that he had not wronged him for being a year ahead of schedule.

He then looked at the prosthetics listed by Charles. Although he could not say how good they were, they were indeed much more advanced than the products listed by other prosthetic doctors.

So Li You smiled and said, "Such a small store sells good things."

Charles also smiled: "Size is not a problem. My suppliers are all top-notch, and can be said to be the best in the city."

Li You nodded: "Indeed. As a scavenger, they can get any conventional prosthetics you want."

Charles was originally holding a cup of coffee to drink, but he was so scared that his hand shook when he heard the words, and the paper cup filled with coffee fell to the ground and splashed all over him.     "You...you, I...I don't...what are you talking about!"

Charles tried to remain calm, but the panic in his eyes had betrayed him.

However, he did not intend to sit and wait for death. While trying to distract Li You, he secretly pressed a button on the back of the armchair.

Li You saw all his little movements, but he was too lazy to say more to him. He took out his mobile phone to check the time and said to himself: "It's almost time."

Charles was stunned. Before he could understand what was going on, the locked door next to the store was kicked open from the inside with a "bang", and then Edge came up from the basement dragging a scavenger's body.

"The rats down there have been dealt with, and Yuzu is packing up the equipment." Edge said, looking at Charles with extreme disgust, "Although if you ask me, these things should be set on fire, and then this guy should be thrown in as fuel."

Li You shook his head: "That will pollute the air."

Charles had already recognized that the body that Edge was dragging was the number one thug of the scavenger in his basement, and the whole person was paralyzed at that time.

Charles Bucks, the only reason this guy can make a name for himself in the Kabuki District and sell advanced prosthetics is that he has reached a cooperation with the scavengers.

Charles needs a stable supplier, and the scavengers also need people to help them with treatment and prosthetic surgery, so the two sides have similar tastes and hit it off.

In the game, V will track down his basement in one of Regina's commissions and discover the secret. And if he confronts Charles again, he will even argue that he was forced to do so.

If V expresses disbelief, or reads the letter between him and the scavengers in the basement, he will instead offer V a discount as hush money.

If you agree, you will get 20% off on prosthetics from him in the future. If you refuse, he will try to run away.

Of course, if this guy can outrun the living devil of Night City, it must be because V released too much the night before and was not in good shape.

Anyway, Li You always kills him when playing games.

Although some doctors sell unique prostheses in the old version, Charles has some rare goods, such as the "bioconductor" used in the old version of the sword flow, which can reduce the cooling time of all prostheses and is one of the components of infinite time stop.

But this does not affect it. At most, he can buy it in advance. V really doesn't need the 20% discount. It's better for the scavenger to die.

What's more, the discount is only in the game. If he gives you a 20% discount in the real world, would you dare to let him perform surgery on you?

You are not afraid that he will be anesthetized with a shot and will be in various places in Night City when you wake up.

So the general policy will not change: the scavenger must die!

Li You looked at him and said, "Okay, Charles, you follow us now."

Charles wanted to say something, but Edge came up and punched him, shutting him down physically.

Then, Li You loaded Charles himself, the equipment and prostheses he looted from him, and transported them to the underground cave of Stone Ridge Mountain again.

Here, he naturally explained the task to Charles who woke up. But the difference is that this time, Li You let a night demon bite Charles, and then told him that if he didn't control the virus, he would soon gradually transform into a night demon, and the process would be very painful, which frightened Charles' face pale.

Then Charles obeyed, cooperated with the night demons to install the equipment brought by Li You, and then did not dare to rest for a moment and devoted himself to work.

Aggie watched him busy "diligently" with cold eyes, and didn't say much. There is no antidote for the Harlan virus so far, even in the extinction world, the serum is still under development, so Charles is dead. And if she wants, she can really make him die very painfully.

Aggie didn't read any more, followed Li You and Yuzu, and returned to the apartment in Night City.

...

Two days passed quickly.

During the afternoon training time, David no longer needed too much teaching. At present, the most important thing for him was to practice the energy and practice using it. Li You and Aggie just needed to watch him.

On the other hand, after Mann still couldn't sense the energy, he finally chose to ask Li You for help.

He said to Li You: "This hand of mine...is getting less and less obedient. Every night I can feel the approach of death, but I can hardly take a step forward."

"At this point, I have no choice. Your Qi method is my last hope. If it still doesn't work, I would rather go crazy than dismantle my prosthesis and become a useless person."

Li You naturally respected his choice, so he asked Aiji to take care of him and did it himself to sink the energy into Mann's body.

Mann sat on the ground, and Li You squatted behind him, pressing his hand on the back of his heart. The energy flowed along the blood in his torso, traveling around and around, and in the process, Mann continued to Try to understand this feeling.

At the same time, Mann also used drugs such as neuroenhancers on himself and never missed any opportunity.

They were so serious here, which naturally attracted the attention of others.

Dorio, Rebecca, Sasha and David all gathered around and looked at Li You and Mann nervously.

This process also consumes a lot of energy. Li You has never relaxed his energy cultivation since Sekiro World. Now he is extremely proficient in this technique, and his own energy reserves have been developed to the limit.

But even so, it is really very burdensome and difficult to accurately control the flow of energy in other people's bodies. In just two minutes, beads of sweat began to form on Li You's head.

This was the first time for Sasha and others to see Li You lose his usual composure, and they couldn't help but sweat for both of them.

David asked Aggie softly: "Can't you help Master?"

Aggie shook his head: "I don't have such fine control as him. Now I can only see who can... huh?" between him and Mann.

Just as he was talking, Mann suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Wait, I seem to have caught the feeling!"

When Li You heard this, he immediately used up all his energy and said, "Try sensing, now!"

Mann didn't care to say anything more, closed his eyes again and calmed down.

Everyone stared at him nervously, especially Dorio, whose heart was already in his throat.

Fortunately, Mann did not disappoint everyone this time.

A few minutes later, as he roared violently, wisps of extremely thin white energy rose from the seams of the prosthetic body on his torso, which also meant that he had finally completed the first step in cultivating strength.

"Did he...do it?" Dolio asked Li You immediately after seeing the vision, and Li You also gave a positive reply: "Yes, he succeeded."

"Mann——!"

"You did it!!"

Everyone cheered, and Dorio even came up with a bear hug, strangling Mann's neck so hard that his eyes widened.

"Ugh——! Let me go, Dorio!"

Li You watched them making a fuss and did not interrupt without understanding. Mann has a very high prestige in the team and is respected and loved by everyone. Now that they see that he has hope of getting rid of the threat of cyberpsychosis, everyone is naturally happy for him.

After their excitement had passed, Li You patted Mann and took him and David aside.

"Mann, congratulations. Next, you can formally learn to use your strength."

Mann laughed and said, "Thanks to you too! If it weren't for your help, I might have turned into a cyberpsychotic, and I wouldn't have had time to realize anything. This is all your credit, I don't even know what to do. Thank u!"

Li You smiled and said, "It's not over yet. Wait until you learn how to use it before you say anything like this again. When the time comes, I will come to you and ask for your reward without mercy."

Mann was very satisfied with this and patted Li You on the shoulder: "Okay! That's it! Then should I go practice now?"

"Yeah. Just like David, Aiji will lead you in the beginning." Li You said and looked at David again, "In addition, you two are both beginners. You can share any ideas you have, but remember to give it a try before you try. Ask us."

"Okay."

"Understood!"

Both of them nodded.

"Then come on, I'm also looking forward to seeing you succeed in your cultivation. This is also related to my future plans."

Mann smiled and said: "Future plans? What, are you planning to open a club in Night City to teach others how to practice Qi? Hahaha!"

Li You smiled and shook his head: "Not really... you will know it later. Okay, let's go practice, you two."

"Hehe, you're welcome then! Jinqi, let me feel its power!"

Mann stretched his arms and went to find Aggie.

But David did not leave immediately. He hesitated for a moment, then said to Li Youyou: "Master, I want to...ask you for a favor."

Li You: "Huh...?"

David came to him and whispered a few words to him.

"Oh?" Li You was surprised, "Gloria's birthday is coming soon?"

David nodded: "I want to use the money Mann gave me last time to take her out for a meal."

Li You nodded: "Very good, just go."

"But..." David hesitated, "I also want my mother to see that I have grown up and can take care of myself. So I want to..."

"I want to borrow your car, Master, and pick her up directly from get off work!"

Looking at David's serious eyes, Li You felt a little emotional, and naturally he would not refuse.

But he still asked: "How do I remember...you can't drive?"

David said: "When I have free time these days, I have already learned from it, no problem!"

Li You nodded: "Although you are only 17 years old, logically you cannot drive..."

"But no problem, it's Gloria's birthday after all. Just go ahead."

David was relieved when he heard this, with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Master!"

Li You thought about it and said, "But my car is an armed vehicle, not suitable for this. I will ask Falco if he can lend you the car. If not, I will help you think of other ways."

David nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Watching him go back to practice Qi, Li You thought about it and found that it was not only the car, but also the gun that was promised before.

David's learning speed is really fast, like a sponge, absorbing all kinds of knowledge crazily.

Tomorrow is the shooting test that Rebecca prepared for David. According to what Li You has seen during this period, he will have no problem passing it.

"Well... then, what kind of gun should I prepare for him?"
