Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

For the next period of time, Li You was free again.

He really didn't have anything urgent to do at the moment, mainly to build trust with Lai Xuan, but there was no rush.

And now he has a quasi-legendary reputation, so he can't run around so casually.

It's not that he has an idol burden, but his fans are a little fanatical... in various senses.

So Li You didn't want to deal with them all the time. After leaving his apartment, he spent more time in the Bad Land.

Of course, he has also been accepting commissions from middlemen, but the occasions for him to show up have become less and less.

The Mann team has reached a long-term cooperation with Li You - in fact, in the eyes of others, they are almost all on Li You's side, so ordinary commissions can be left to them.

At the same time, there is another team that is also counted under Li You's name, and it is gradually emerging.

That is none other than the team composed of David and Lucy.

David can fight both close combat and long-range, and Lucy is also very skilled in hacking. The combination of the two complements each other perfectly.

However, there are not only the two of them in this team, there are three other people - or, three cyborg night demons, as support.

Led by Night Demon Meihua, the other two are also strong individuals.

Of course, they were sent by Li You to cooperate with David and Lucy.

From Li You's point of view, there are no companions in Night City that are more trustworthy than cyborg night demons, and they can also rush up to fight the enemy at critical moments, just in case.

There are more than fifty cyborg night demons in the Night Demon Nest today. After the core of the nest was upgraded, there was one more energy-absorbing organ, which greatly alleviated the pressure of energy supply and allowed the nest to support more night demons.

To date, the total number of night demons has risen to about 400, and except for the secondary night demon team, the others are evolved night demons and cyborg night demons - this is a great fighting force, as long as it is equipped with the right equipment, the destructive power is absolutely amazing.

On the other hand, Li You's research team has started two new experimental projects because of the leadership of the newly joined Dr. Joanne Koch, who is the incarnation of the Sensing Night Demon.

First, try to install the prosthetic King Kong and Dragon Knight-type full-body prosthesis on the prosthetic Night Demon.

Second, try to let the Night Demons practice Qi.

Li You had these two ideas a long time ago, but unfortunately Charles and others did not have the ability to advance the research. This group of relatively poor prosthetic doctors can do surgery, but this kind of big project is still beyond their ability.

Fortunately, when Dr. Joanne Koch was a human, she had no taboos for research, and now she has become a Night Demon, she has not restrained herself. She immediately combined her own professional knowledge, formulated an experimental plan, and started the research. The speed of progress surprised Li You.

"…Sure enough, this kind of thing has to be handed over to these scientists who have no upper limit to their imagination and no bottom line in life."

Li You couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't stay in the Night Demon's lair for too long, because he had an appointment with others later.

In the afternoon, Li You drove to the camp of the Adecado family.

He came because Mitch called him not long ago. He first congratulated Li You on his fame and success, and then talked about the family.

There was nothing new, it was still the same old story. Sol wanted to take the family to "cooperate" with biotechnology, and then was opposed by some members such as Panam, and a dispute broke out.

Mitch said that this time Sol and Panam quarreled particularly hard, and even had the intention of breaking up. If it weren't for him and Scorpion, Panam would have wanted to pack up and go to Night City.

But although the two of them persuaded Panam this time, the problem in the family was not solved after all. Mitch had no choice but to seek help from Li You.

"…I know that so far we owe you a favor, but I still want to ask you for help in this matter. As long as I can afford the reward, it's easy to talk about."

After receiving this call, Li You just thought about it for a while and agreed.

"Let's do this. I'll visit the camp today and bring a guest with me."

Now, Li You brought Yuzu, Edge, and his so-called "guest", Joanne, to the Adecado camp.

When he saw Li You coming, Thor personally led people out to greet him.

This was both a sign of respect and a warning. As wanderers active in the Badlands, Thor and others had long realized that the emerging force in the wasteland, the "Night Demon", should have a close connection with Li You.

Not to mention that the "Night Demon" has been acting high-profile in the Badlands, since the last heavy hammer incident, it has begun to organize activities in Night City in the name of a group - and has not deliberately concealed its relationship with Li You.

So recently, the discussion of Li You and the "Night Demon" has remained high.

Looking at Li You, who looks no different from before, Thor couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Of course, Li You didn't know that Thor's inner drama was so rich, so he got off the car very naturally and greeted him.

"Long time no see."

Sol looked at him, his eyes flashed: "Long time no see, Li You, you are now called a quasi-legend."

"Then I wonder why you came here today..."

Before he finished speaking, the roar of the engine came from not far away, and three old armed off-road vehicles drove along the road.

Looking at the paint on the car body, Sol and others were also stunned: "Is that... the Red Ochre Family?"

As the leader of the family, Sol's reaction was very quick. He immediately realized something and turned to ask Li You: "Did you call them here?"

Li You didn't hide it and admitted it directly.

After receiving Mitch's call, he asked Joanne to make an appointment with the Red Ocher family to meet.

He has already learned from Joanne that the "Nightingale Project" has only just begun. In the game timeline, the Red Ocher family, which suffered heavy losses due to her experiments, has not had any major problems. Only the first few members have accepted them. "Drug" testing - this is what Joanne originally claimed.

Obviously, those unlucky ones who tried the medicine probably won't be able to come back.

So Li You said, don't you Sol want to embrace biotechnology? I will directly give you the entire tripartite talks and let you see what will happen if you do this.

The director of biotechnology R\u0026D appears and gives his own account!

But of course, Joanne cannot reveal her identity here, but she can also appear in the name of "former employee". As for proving her identity, she can just rely on a bunch of various documents in her mind.

Seeing these people from the Red Ocher Family, Mitch reacted the fastest and guessed Li You's intention: "I heard that the Red Ocher Family is cooperating with biotechnology... Is Li You trying to use their experiences to convince Thor? "

I have to say that Mitch's brain is really good, and he understood Li You's plan so quickly. Panan, on the other hand, was still watching the members of the Red Ocher family get out of the car one by one, and asked inexplicably: "What are they doing here?"

Li You clapped his hands and turned his back on the guest: "The Red Ocher Family was indeed invited by me. The timing is perfect today, both of you and my friend - she used to be a senior researcher in biotechnology."

"It's time for everyone to sit down and talk and analyze whether the idea of ​​joining the company is feasible."

Sol's face was not pretty, but seeing that Mitch and others seemed to support Li You's idea, and remembering the past kindness and the other party's name, he finally nodded helplessly: "...Okay then."

The "talk" part after that is simple.

Although Joanne did not reveal her real name, her familiarity with the "Nightingale Project" and her understanding of the Red Ocher family and biotechnology transactions strongly proved that her identity was true.

And after she revealed the fate of the first batch of Red Ocher family members who went to biotechnology for "drug testing", the faces of everyone present became ugly.

Thor: "...So you're saying that those people actually became de facto guinea pigs?"

Joanne nodded: "It's offensive, but two of the corpses... were dissected by me myself. I still remember one of them was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child with an irregular dark scar on his forehead... "

"——Stop talking!!"

The representative of the Red Ocher family on the side covered his face, "...I beg you, please stop talking."

Joanne glanced at Li You and saw him shaking his head slightly, so she really didn't say anything more.

Next to them, Mitch, Scorpion, Panan, and other Adecado veterans looked at each other and came to a consensus.

If we follow the game timeline, the incident where Panan broke up with Sol and left Adecado did not seem to be entirely because Sol wanted to cooperate with the company. There were also some other reasons, so the people who supported her at the time were not Very many.

But for now, Adecado veterans are all in agreement, at least on whether to cooperate with biotech.

Thor also noticed this, and his face darkened.

But although he is stubborn, he is not someone who refuses to admit his mistakes. After listening to Joanne's words, he also realized how dangerous "cooperating" with the company was, and his own ideas were shaken.

He just didn't want to give up, so he said: "Li You, don't blame me for offending, but aren't you also cooperating with the company?" Li You was also stunned after hearing this: "Huh?"

Mitch's expression on the side changed slightly: "Thor!"

Sol ignored him and just frowned at Li You. Li You thought about it and understood what he meant.

"You mean...Arasaka?"

Saul didn't answer, but his expression said what he thought.

"...So that's what Sol thinks." Li You thought, "Maybe there are people outside who see me this way? They think I'm actually a target erected by Arasaka."

It's not too strange that Sol would ask this. Originally, Li You had cooperated with V several times before, and he didn't hide it from other teammates. However, if Saul thinks that Adecado can be as calm as him, he is really thinking too much.

"...Saul, since you asked that, I will tell you what I have to say." Li You looked at him, "I have indeed cooperated with Arasaka, but it is different from what you think."

“First of all, I am not actually cooperating with Arasaka Company, but with my friends, but they belong to the company.

"Secondly, and more importantly, I cooperate with them on the premise of equal status, rather than taking refuge."

Sol frowned: "I don't plan to either..."

"Come on, Sol!" Panan on the side finally understood and couldn't help but interject, "Do you really think that with your attitude and our size, you can cooperate with the company on an equal footing? In their eyes, we are just a bunch of people. Stinky beggar!"

"If we really go looking for them, they will definitely be used and thrown away in the end. It might be even worse than the Red Ocher Family!"

Other Adecado veterans also nodded, and Mitch even bluntly said: "Saul, you have to admit that Panan is right this time."

Sol frowned and thought for a long time, then looked at Li You, Joanne, and the members of the Red Ochre Family who were gathered around him, and finally sighed: "...Okay, you are right, it is indeed a bad move to contact Biotech."

Li You corrected: "It is not only Biotech, but also any company. Unless you have the strength or background to protect yourself and make the other party fulfill the contract, it is like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth to negotiate with them."

Sol did not refute this time, and nodded: "...It seems to be the case. I will reconsider the family's future policy."

Hearing this, Panam and others were relieved.

"Sol finally got it!"

"We have to find someone with weight to persuade him."

"...Who said it was not?"

The conflict on Adecado's side was finally resolved, at least on the surface. Over there, the Red Ochre Family thanked Li You, and almost planned to say goodbye and leave.

But Li You stopped them.

Everyone from the Red Ochre Family: "...Hmm?"

Li You just helped solve the problems of the two wanderer families, but it is certainly impossible for him to do good things without any intention. He is not so idle.

It just so happens that the representatives of the two wanderer tribes are here today, and Li You is also discussing something with them.

"Everyone, I have a proposal." Li You looked at Thor and the leader of the Red Ochre Family.

"You may also know that the force that has risen in the Bad Land in the past few months, the 'Night Demon', is actually my people."

Everyone looked at each other. Although Adecado had guessed it long ago, it was the first time he heard Li You say it in person. As for the Red Ochre, it was the first time they heard it, and they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

"My 'Night Demon' warriors are active in the Bad Land, and their targets are only the Random Sword Society and the Night Wandering Ghost. These guys are pure trouble." Li You continued.

"I believe you know better than me that there may be some people in the Luan Dao Society who are not guilty of death, but as for the Night Wanderers, they are all senior criminals and there are no innocent people.

"I want to clear this group of people out of the Night City as much as possible. The Night Demon has been acting with this goal in mind. You may have seen it."

Adecado and Red Ochre looked at each other and both agreed with this statement. Since the rise of the Night Demon in the Bad Land a few months ago, the frequency of harassment and attacks by the Luan Dao Society on them has been greatly reduced, and they all have companions who were rescued from the Luan Dao Society by the Night Demon.

Li You looked at the reactions of the crowd, nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "But you also need to know that the number of Night Demons is limited. There are only a few dozen people at present, and some of them have to stay in the city. The disadvantage in numbers greatly limits our efficiency. "

"So I hope to reach a cooperation with you. Adecado and Red Ochre are the two largest wanderer families in the badlands outside Night City. Your people are all over the wasteland and are very familiar with the news of the Luan Dao Society.

"We three will work together. You provide intelligence and assist. The main task of dealing with the Luan Dao Society and the Night Wanderer will be handed over to the Night Demon. The Luan Dao Society and you are also mortal enemies. This should be a win-win cooperation for us. What do you think?"

The leader of the Red Ochre team subconsciously looked at Thor after hearing this, and both of them showed surprise on their faces.

It's not because they are unwilling, on the contrary, it's because Li You's conditions are too generous.

The wanderers only need to provide some intelligence and assist, and the most troublesome tasks will all be handed over to the Night Demon?

Really let the big boss lead the way?

This... Thor even felt embarrassed to accept it.

He said in a deep voice: "Li You, don't forget that Adecado will always be your friend. You are being too formal."

"The Luan Dao Society is our enemy. Dealing with them is what we have to do. How can we let you suffer this loss?

"Let's put it this way. We Adecado promise you that we will not only provide intelligence, but also send elite support, and all the vehicle supply and logistics of the Night Demon will be handed over to us!

"Only in this way can it be considered cooperation!"

The leader of the Red Ochre on the side also nodded repeatedly, indicating that I am the same.

Li You smiled slightly and did not refuse: "Okay, then it's settled."

"Oh, one last thing, my people may select those who are of excellent quality and can be saved from the Luan Dao Society, bring them back to our own base, and conduct brainwashing... Oh no, it is ideological education to persuade them to join us.

"Regarding this, I also hope you don't object. ”

Sol and others, the leader of the Red Ochre Family: “………”

Did you just say “brainwashing and transformation”, a word that sounds very dangerous and evil?

But speaking of the matter, Li You’s request was not excessive, and they naturally had no reason to refuse. Sol also reminded: “These guys have no bottom line than you think, so you should not have too high expectations.”

Li You pointed at Joanne next to him with a smile, and now neither Sol nor anyone from the Red Ochre Family spoke.

Indeed, even the senior researchers in biotechnology, after experiencing Li You’s brainwashing transformation… no, ideological education, have become the backbone of his loyalty. A few night wandering ghosts are really not worth Li You’s worry.

So they didn’t say anything more, and all nodded and agreed.

So far, the next action plan for the Bad Land has been finalized, and then it will be a slow accumulation.

The Luan Dao Society and Night Wanderers in the Badlands are the main sources of Li You's perceived Night Devil forces. After all, even in Night City, it is difficult to find such a gang where all the members are evil and basically no one is worth keeping alive.

If you really want to say, perhaps only the Voodoo Gang in Taipingzhou can be compared with the Night Wanderers. As for the Whirlpool Gang and the Tiger Claw Gang, their purity is not enough.

And what Li You needs most now is the forces of the prosthetic Night Devil. After all, apart from other things, the ability to be transformed by prosthetics + not afraid of ultraviolet rays allows them to completely beat any other type of Night Devil.

Therefore, Li You once again set his sights on the Badlands, hoping to work hard on the first half of "increasing revenue and reducing expenditure".

After finally settling the cooperation arrangements here, Li You immediately said goodbye and left.

Half a month ago, he just spent money to buy a new car, which is a luxury sports car type. Now it is almost time to pick up the car, and Li You plans to go and take a look.

What he bought was not the Sword in the Stone, but another sports car that he liked the most in the game, and some customized functions were added.

Of course, the price was not cheap, but Li You had reached the edge of legend now, so he basically would not be short of money.

Li You was driving, looking forward to the day of picking up the car, but unexpectedly, a system prompt suddenly popped up in front of him.

[Ding! ]

[Congratulations! You have survived for a year in various game worlds, and the conditions have been met! ]

[When you complete the main quest of this world, you will unlock a special reward option! ]

Li You was so scared that he braked hard on the spot and stopped the car.

"???"

"Fuck... Is the setting of surviving for a year still there??"
