Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

"boom--!!"

A conspicuous red warning circle was projected on the ground, accompanied by a buzzing sound. The suddenly increased gravity pushed the soil down hard, leaving several deep circular pits.

What followed was the cry of the night wandering ghosts.

"My legs, my legs!!"

"Ah ah ah, let me go!"

"——Don't come over here!"

With just one round of gravity field coverage, the night wanderers stationed in this camp suffered heavy casualties, and their will to resist collapsed.

The remaining night ghosts all looked at the figure at the entrance of the garbage dump with a dark black mecha-type prosthetic body on their backs with fear on their faces.

The four limbs are huge mechanical arms, and the gravity generator buzzes behind him. The intimidating power of the prosthetic King Kong is unquestionable.

As for the wearer on it, only the torso is left of the original body, and it is full of stitching marks. The skin color is also different in different locations. It looks like... Frankenstein's monster.

But to the Night Walkers, it doesn't matter whether the other person is a human or a monster. They just want to survive, so they beg for mercy one after another.

This guy who single-handedly came to destroy the place has obvious physical characteristics. At first glance, he is a member of the "Night Devil". According to past experience, if you encounter a night demon but cannot defeat it, if you beg for mercy in time, you may still have a way to survive.

Objectively speaking, this is also true. But of course they don't know how costly "survival" is.

But at least their judgment was correct. The man who appeared in front of them and controlled the prosthetic King Kong was indeed a night demon.

Among the night demons found by Joanne and others after repeated tests, it was the one that had the best resemblance to the prosthetic King Kong, so it was chosen as the bearer.

The reason why it appears here is also for the collection of actual combat data.

So far, the operation of the prosthetic King Kong has been fine, and the night devil has been controlled very well.

It looked at the night wandering ghost survivors who were begging for their lives, and gently raised its left arm, intending to point to the transport truck parked outside the exit.

As usual, those who want to surrender will be screened by the Night Demons, and only a few qualified people will be left, and then sent back to the lair to be transformed into Sentient Night Demons.

But at this moment, the Night Demon carrying the prosthetic King Kong suddenly paused, then its body began to tremble slightly, and its two prosthetic eyes started to beat crazily!

The two night wandering ghosts standing in front of it were stunned. Before they could react, the prosthetic King Kong's thick mechanical arm had swung across and knocked them away!

The two unlucky guys smashed into the garbage pile nearby and stopped moving on the spot.

The remaining surrendered troops: "...!?"

"H-run quickly!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. The prosthetic King Kong Night Demon let out a chaotic roar, raised his right arm, the aperture indicator light on it lit up, and the gravity field was suppressed again!

"boom--!!"

Several more deep pits were carved into the ground. In this wave of pursuit, all the night wandering ghosts were directly killed or injured.

"Hoooooooooo-!!!"

The prosthetic Vajra Night Demon was still dissatisfied. He slammed his fists on the ground and looked around for prey.

But then, several figures stood up around the garbage dump that was used as a base by the night wandering ghosts. With uniform clothing and similar prosthetic transformation styles, it is obvious that they are all members of the Night Demon.

They dispersed evenly, leaving a safe distance while encircling the prosthetic Vajra Night Demon in the middle.

"roar--"

The prosthetic King Kong Night Demon looked around uneasily, then raised his arms, wanting to take action first.

But it still took a step slower. Several artificial night demons around it raised their hands, and the ring-shaped blue light in their eyes suddenly brightened!

"roar--!!"

The prosthetic King Kong Night Demon instantly felt as if he had been hit hard, his body trembled suddenly, and he let out a painful roar!

The red ring lights on its arms and back flickered on and off, and its chest heaved vigorously, trying to struggle but unable to control and resist.

The surrounding Night Demons raised and waved their hands again, and the prosthetic Vajra Night Demon finally let out a wail, and with a "thud", it involuntarily hit the ground with its head, stopping all movements.

However, as a result, these night demons were obviously exhausted. They were all panting and had no energy to do anything else for the time being.

But the problem is not big. More night demons have emerged from nowhere and plan to take the prosthetic King Kong Night Demon back. But just when they were approaching and about to lift it up, the prosthetic King Kong Night Demon suddenly opened his eyes again, and the indicators on both arms lit up instantly!

"roar--!!"

The surrounding night demons were also frightened and wanted to escape, but most of them had no time to hide away and were about to suffer heavy losses.

"——!!"

At this moment, the movements of the prosthetic King Kong Night Demon suddenly stopped, and the blue light in his eyes dimmed instantly. He could no longer control his body. Even if he opened his mouth, he could only roar silently.

The surrounding night demons sensed something at the same time and turned their heads to look outside the garbage dump.

Over there, their queen, Aggie, was walking steadily, with Yuzu following her, as if she was the strongest shield.

She looked at the situation here and said thoughtfully: "It seems that we still need to equip a few more Night Demons as suppressors."

Yuzu also nodded: "They, the will, the physical strength, are not enough. We need more."

Looking at the prosthetic King Kong Night Demon who was still struggling, Aiji narrowed his eyes slightly, but the blue light in his eyes became more and more dazzling, and finally turned into a flash of brilliance!

The Cybernetic Night Demon was still struggling in vain, but the next moment he stopped all resistance and looked at Edge with the other Night Demons, regaining reason and respect in his eyes.

"…Queen."

It did not try to move the body of the Cybernetic Night Demon again, and just bowed its head to Edge.

Aiji did not mean to blame it, and said: "You have done a good job. This is a test, and it is normal to have some accidents."

She turned to the surrounding Night Demons: "Clean up the scene, let's go back."

The Night Demons bowed their heads and saluted, and then moved quickly. Yuzu even went forward to pick up the Cybernetic Night Demon and threw it into the car.

Not long after, the Night Demons' convoy pulled the Cybernetic Night Demon back to the Stone Ridge Mountain.

They transported the Cybernetic Night Demon to the nest through a secret passage similar to a sewer entrance dug outside the town.

Here, Li You was communicating with "researchers" such as Joanne and Charles.

The previous Cybernetic Night Demon was naturally their achievement.

After getting the Cybertron and Adam Heavyhammer's dragon rider-type full-body prosthesis, and Joanne's joining, Li You assigned them the task, and after a period of research, they really made something.

The installation of the Cybertron is not a big problem, after all, Li You also brought back its special transport vehicle before, and only a few small problems need to be solved to make it compatible with the body of the Night Demon.

The key to the problem is that the consumption and burden of the Cybertron on empathy and humanity are really too heavy for the Night Demon to resist.

However, compared with humans, the Night Demons have a unique advantage in this regard, that is, they all have the ability of telepathy.

Even ordinary Night Demons can have vague telepathy with each other, and after perceiving Night Demons, they can accurately transmit information through this method.

And under the spiritual connection of Edge, the Night Demons can communicate and communicate completely on the spiritual level.

Joanne herself has become a perceiving Night Demon and a cybernetic Night Demon, and she noticed this and thought it could be used.

After all, the essence of cyberpsychosis is that the prosthesis erodes the body's nervous system too much, causing physiological lesions in the implantee, and then combined with their original potential symptoms, cyberpsychosis is induced.

In other words, the prosthesis is only a trigger and a fuse after all, and the essence is the mental instability of the implantee. Of course, too powerful prostheses will also forcibly induce the symptoms of cyberpsychosis because of their strong erosion, such as the prosthesis King Kong.

But in any case, cyberpsychosis is also a kind of mental illness, not something particularly illusory. In this case, why can't the night demons, who are born with telepathic abilities, relieve, suppress, or even eliminate their symptoms through mutual communication at the spiritual level?

After Joanne proposed this idea, she immediately started testing and got the results she wanted.

Sensing the mental communication between night demons can really suppress the onset of cyberpsychosis!

Of course, if a prosthesis night demon has cyberpsychosis, it will require at least two companions to help control the symptoms, but this attempt is effective, which is already a major discovery.

So Joanne immediately reported to Li You and Aggie, and after getting permission, she made a plan to test the prosthetic King Kong... which is today.

Although something went wrong in the end.

Aggie and Yuzu have returned here and told everyone about the process of this test, and also took out the video and related data recorded by the prosthetic eyes of other prosthetic Night Demons.

After Joanne and others studied the data, they finally came to the conclusion that the originally expected auxiliary team of six sensory Night Demons was indeed not enough, and for safety reasons, it would be better to double it.

As a representative, Joanne reported to Li You and Edge and concluded: "The mental burden of the wearer of the cyborg is too great. Even if we all become night demons, we really don't have outstanding patience in this regard."

"And to be honest, we have been studying this cyborg for more than a month, but we still can't figure out how to accurately control it... so the test failed. I'm very sorry."

Li You didn't mind: "After all, it's a problem that Arasaka didn't solve when he was doing the project. It's unrealistic to expect you to solve it immediately."

"Thank you for your magnanimity." Joanne bowed her head and said, "It's great that you are the master."

Li You smiled and didn't say anything, while Charles and others beside Joanne looked at each other, not knowing what attitude to take for a while.

Although Joanne was transformed into a night demon, just like other perceptual night demon individuals, Edge didn't like to control them tightly from body to heart like the Virgin Mary. It's better to say that she hated doing this.

So in normal times, she gave the perceptual night demons a lot of autonomy, basically assigning tasks and not interfering with other things.

The Perceptive Night Demons all retain their past consciousness and have their own thoughts, but loyalty to the Queen is in their bones and they will never betray.

Apart from this, the personality of each Perceptive Night Demon is consistent with their past selves.      Apart from other things, the Perceptive Night Demons from the Whirlpool Gang, Night Wanderers, and Tiger Claw Gang will have disagreements from time to time due to their different working styles... but they can all be resolved smoothly in the end, after all, the interests of the Queen and the tribe are paramount.

Charles and others were also like this. They looked at Joanne. She was actually very normal at ordinary times - she looked like a research director from a large company. She made plans, led research, assigned tasks, and reported work in an orderly manner. If you ignore her appearance, she is no different from ordinary people.

But in front of Li You and Aggie, she would also show her loyalty as a night demon.

Whenever this happened, Charles and others would feel a chill on their backs and be extremely in awe of Li You and Aggie.

This method of being able to fully guarantee the original human nature and make the other party loyal to it has exceeded their imagination.

Charles, who was standing behind Joanne, coughed and reported the progress of another project.

"…The dragon knight-type full-body prosthesis has not been put into actual combat testing because it is too prosthetic and we don't know its specific side effects. Otherwise, the risk is too great."

"If we want to install and test it, we need more data about it."

After listening, Li You also nodded: "I understand. I will ask the supplier for a copy next time."

Although Charles was curious about who the supplier he was talking about was, he knew that this was not what he should ask, so he quietly withdrew.

Joanne also went to study the prosthesis King Kong. In its original conception, the ideal for the night demons as the backup team was not to come out to control the prosthesis King Kong when it lost control, but to keep in touch with the prosthesis King Kong to help it share the mental pressure, so that it can continue to fight without problems.

Unfortunately, even the perceptive night demons, not everyone has this talent and can maintain telepathy for a long time, so this is just a concept.

However, Joanne, in line with her researcher spirit, does not intend to give up. She also knows how much her concept will improve the combat effectiveness of the night demons once it is realized, so she must succeed!

Li You and Aggie did not disturb them anymore. They walked out of the "laboratory" here, looked at the situation of the nest, and returned to the ground.

Today, the Night Demon's nest has been divided into three. In addition to the underground and the original Night Wandering Ghost Cave, Li You also set up a nest in the underground base of the Voodoo Gang.

The reason is also very simple, that is, to better control the Voodoo Gang's subnet "Poseidon" and their BBS data fortress.

Even though Li You has some knowledge of the setting of cyberspace under the background of cyberpunk, he also knows how valuable a local area network and data fortress completely under his control is, so naturally he can't let it go.

The leaders of the Voodoo Gang, Maman Bridget, Neptune, and several other elite hackers who were captured alive have also joined the warm family of Night Demon. After undergoing prosthetic transformation on the Stone Ridge Mountain, they returned to the underground base of Taipingzhou and were responsible for hosting the subnet.

In this way, the most essential part of the original Voodoo Gang's property has fallen into Li You's hands.

He also had to sigh that the value of the Night Demon's Nest Core can only be perfectly reflected in the expansion of power.

There was no arrangement to inspect there today. Bridget and the others were assigned the task of contacting those Voodoo Gang members who had escaped before or happened to be absent through the subnet and catching them all in one fell swoop.

Li You did not forget that in the game, even if V chose to go to war with the Voodoo Gang in the underground base and killed all their high-ranking officials, the Voodoo Gang on the street was still like cockroaches, hiding in those dirty corners, and could not be killed cleanly.

He did not intend to waste time on these pests, so he directly handed the task of finishing off to the Night Demon Bridget and the others. All they had to do was contact those remnants, find their location, and then the Night Demons would go over to solve the problem.

This was a long-term task, so Li You was not in a hurry, just clean it up slowly.

Compared to this, the joining of Bridget and others and the acquisition of the subnet were the biggest expansion of Li You's power.

In order to confuse others and just in case, Bridget still uses the old style of the Voodoo Gang, just to separate herself from the "Night Demon" safely, so that it will be easier to do anything in the future.

Now, on the streets of Night City, Li You's reputation has reached a higher level, and the name of "Night Demon" has also spread to the ears of major gangs, middlemen and even companies.

Everyone now knows that the newly promoted quasi-legend, "Hunter" Li You, has an organization or gang called Night Demon under his command. There are hundreds of people, and each of them is powerful. Ordinary gang members are not their opponents at all.

And they came out in full force one night not long ago, and almost destroyed the Voodoo Gang, and even occupied their old nest.

Yes, now, the Night Demon has turned the Batti Hotel in Taipingzhou into his open base.

This landmark building in Taipingzhou has changed its owner, which is also one of the reasons why this matter spread throughout the city.

Li You had already made a name for himself before, and now the name "Night Demon" is no longer limited to the Badlands, but is known to people as a new gang force in Night City.

Most of the original industries and territories of the Voodoo Gang were also taken over by the Night Demon, but those were basically illegal industries, and they mainly stole data in cyberspace, which is how the Voodoo Gang earned money.

Oh, yes, and they also sent ransom emails to innocent people...

In short, Li You is not very interested in these industries, but he can still accept the theft of data banks and accounts of those companies. At least it wasn't like the Tiger Claw Gang, which was all about flesh business, lending and debt collection, and even selling medicines, which he couldn't stand.

On the surface, although people don't know how much of the Voodoo Gang's legacy Li You has inherited, the mere fact that he occupies most of their sphere of influence is enough to cause a stir.

Of course, they were not just in awe, there were also other gangs who sensed the opportunity and felt that it was time to come to Taipingzhou to get involved and share some of the benefits.

Santo Domingo's Six Street Gang, Westbrook's Tiger Claw Gang, and Heywood's Valentino Gang all came over to join in the fun.

These large gangs have complex internal factions, and no one person has the final say. Just like the Valentino Gang, the middleman priest is only influential among them, but cannot decide everything. In the same way, Wakako's status in the Tiger Claw Gang is the same.

This time they came to take advantage of the situation, which was not the intention of the priest and Wakako. Therefore, Li You counterattacked unceremoniously against those who wanted to take advantage of the situation. The prosthetic Night Demon warriors were ready to attack at any time to kill those gangs who dared to reach out to Taiping Continent. They all fought back.

Because of this, there were constant gunshots on the streets of Taipingzhou in those days, which scared the NCPD away who originally thought about coming over to see what was going on.

As for the gangs, because Li You's counterattack was unceremonious, the gang bosses were frightened and angry, and they planned revenge. But before they could actually implement it, Li You took Yuzi and the cybernetic night demons to personally find the top leaders of these gangs and had a good exchange with them.

It is conceivable that after talking face-to-face with Li You, most of them finally gave up their plans to get involved in Taipingzhou territory, and obediently retracted their one-third-acre land, admitting that "Night" Demon" took over the territory that originally belonged to the Voodoo Gang.

Of course, the specific exchange process is confidential. It is just the tacit agreement of the three major gangs to stop, which already explains everything.

So for a while, Li You's reputation skyrocketed again, and his street status rose rapidly. Now in the eyes of ordinary people, and even many mercenaries, he has long since left the ranks of mercenaries and has become a powerful man on the streets.

But although many people think so, Li You himself doesn't think so at all. He still occasionally runs around, attracting the attention of the mercenaries every time.

As his disciples, the David duo and the Mann team, who are known to be very close to him, have also enjoyed star treatment recently. As long as they enter the next life, there will always be mercenaries surrounding them, as if they are chasing something.

David was so annoyed by this that he tried his best not to show up in the afterlife.

The same goes for Mann, Dorio and Rebecca. That is to say, Pyrrha feels it's very good to do this, so now she runs to the afterlife and sits there all day long, doing nothing but drinking and blowing her pussy. Until finally Rebecca, who couldn't bear it anymore, came over, knocked him unconscious and dragged him home.

David's mother, Gloria, naturally also heard about the recent events and Li You's popularity. Although she was surprised, she was still worried about whether David would be affected in any bad way.

But what made her happy was that David was still the same David. He would take Lucy home every night and his attitude was the same as before, which made her feel relieved.

In short, after destroying the Voodoo Gang, Li You has been busy with chores for this period of time. Finally, he finally settled down and could rest today.

As a result, as soon as he returned to his apartment and sat down on the soft sofa, his cell phone rang again. Looking at the call information, it turned out to be Mr. Hands.

"...Hello?" Li You picked up helplessly.

"Li You, you are a big shot now." Mr. Hanz smiled there, "You are no longer interested in cooperating with a small middleman like me?"

"You're kidding." Li You rubbed his forehead, "Mr. Hands is one of the most famous middlemen in Night City. How many people want to cooperate with you but haven't had the chance yet."

"Haha, no matter what, congratulations to you. Now that your status has risen to this level, you are already a real boss. Today, my people are still discussing whether you can already be considered to have legendary status. "

Li You raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"

"Yes. You see, in terms of strength, if you can compete with Adam Hammer, you are obviously qualified. In terms of power, your 'Night Demon' has also risen strongly."

Mr. Hands smiled and said, "The biggest problem now is your personal record. You haven't done anything truly earth-shattering yet, and... you haven't died yet."

Li You also smiled: "It seems that I am still far away from becoming a legend."

"Stop talking about this, you called me not just to congratulate me, right?"

Mr. Hands replied: "That's natural, and my time is valuable."

"So let's make a long story short. I have found what you wanted me to check before, and it is indeed underground in Dog Town. To be honest, I am curious as to why you know this."

Li You ignored him: "It is indeed there... Then you should have guessed what I am going to do next, right?"

"Yeah." Mr. Hands didn't give in. "I've already done the resident identity verification in Dog Town for you, but if you want to bring your 'Night Stalker' in, you'll have to pay extra."

"Or, you can help me a little bit. After all, the Voodoo Gang's sub-network should also fall into your hands, right?"

"Oh? How can you be sure?" Li You asked.

Mr. Hands smiled and said, "I can't, but from what I know about you, you will never let go of such a thing."

Li You looked at him and raised his lips: "It seems that you really know me...Okay, I agree."

"Very good, then we will talk about the details later. I sincerely invite you to come to my little nest and meet me. The invitation will be sent to your mailbox soon."

"Okay." Li You nodded, "See you then."

The communication was cut off immediately.

Li You sat on the sofa, thinking for a while, thinking about what to talk about with Mr. Hands this time.

However, at this moment, Edge suddenly rushed out from the practice room upstairs, holding a piece of letter paper in his hand, and shouted downstairs: "Li You!"

"... Something happened to Claire and Kara!"

Li You was stunned on the spot, and then stood up suddenly.

"What's going on?"
