Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Chapter 332 Colonel Kurt Hansen, the approach to negotiation

Of course, one thing to note is that although Li You calls this cylindrical container a safe, it is actually a micro-host with the neural matrix stored inside.

To open it, you first need the access code of the Little Beidou Project, which is the key. Secondly, you must have a suitable venue to simulate and restore the host's native environment bunker.

With these two steps, the host can be fooled into thinking that it is still in the bunker, has been verified, and can be opened safely.

And to be honest, both conditions are troublesome.

Not to mention the access code, of course Li You noticed it when he entered the bunker, but unfortunately there was no such thing in either place.

Although Li You knew who had this thing, those two people... were not easy to contact.

As for simulating the native environment of the bunker, this is actually more troublesome. Lark mentioned in the main line of the DLC that Hansen built a laboratory in the stadium in order to open the console, which cost tens of millions.

Li You is now rich, but he definitely can't afford such a large sum of money.

Therefore, even if the thing is in his hands, it is still troublesome to open it.

However, if you look at it from another angle, this problem can be easily solved. Hansen, the local emperor of Dog Town, no matter how rich he is, can he still be as rich as Arasaka Company?

As long as money can solve the problem, Yori Xuan can solve it.

Therefore, the premise of everything is to send away the old guy Saburo Arasaka first and let Yorinobu take power.

What Li You is doing now is just to accumulate chips for future plans. The outcome will not be known until the moment it is actually put on the table.

"Take it out, Yuzu."

"Leave it to me." Yuzi responded in a loud voice.

In fact, he has been feeling very bored in the past few months because he has not been able to get any opportunities to play or fight. Even because he had nothing to do, he had even taken the initiative to propose to Li You that he wanted to enter the battlefield in his heart to practice his skills.

Of course Li You fulfilled his request, but Yuzi seemed to feel that the battlefield in her heart was still not satisfying enough, so she was very active this time as she was rarely able to move around.

So he strode forward, punched a few times with "DuangDuang", smashed open the door of the sealed room, tore open the protective cover of the main unit, and tore off the cylindrical container.

V, who was standing next to Li You, was dumbfounded. Yuzi's power was beyond her understanding, especially since she had changed her prosthetic eyes from Arasaka's standard ones to Qiluji's custom-made ones, which had also been adjusted by Lao Wei, so At a glance, you can tell that Yuzi, like Li You, has no prosthetic body.

She looked around and saw that everyone else, including David, had calm faces. Finally, she couldn't help but ask him in a low voice:

"This Yuzu...is practicing the same strength as your master? Is his cultivation level higher?"

David turned his head, his attitude towards V was still very good, and he replied in a low voice at this time: "No, as far as I know, Brother Yuzi does not cultivate strength. He relies on pure physical strength."

V: "???"

Is this really a human being... No, is it the power that a carbon-based creature of this size can have?

Raw tear alloy explosion-proof door?

Even if V has maxed out 20 strength in the game and has the legendary gorilla arm, there are still many doors that cannot be cracked by force.

David said: "Well, it is indeed true. However, I heard Sister Aiji say before that Brother Yuzi's physique is actually different from ordinary people, so we cannot treat it with common sense."

"Brother Youzi seems to be the first to follow Master, even earlier than Sister Aiji. So if you want to say it, I think Master is the most amazing. He and the people around him are so amazing."

After hearing this, V also glanced at Li You from the side and behind, and pursed his lips.

This man... seems to have a lot of secrets, worth digging out!

Li You didn't look sideways, pretending not to hear the two people talking about him behind him.

Watching Yuzi pick up the container host and walk out of the storage room, he wanted to go up, pat Yuzi, and put the host away. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yuzi took the container and walked out, a piercing alarm sounded throughout the bunker!

"Buzz-!! Buzz-!! Buzz-!!"

Everyone was shocked. Sasha, Lucy and the former Voodoo Gang hackers who were remotely connected immediately investigated, and then discovered that it turned out that there was a hidden safety system built into the container host, which would trigger an alarm as soon as it left the storage room!

Although Sasha and Lucy immediately worked together to turn off the alarm quickly, the alarm sound that resounded throughout the base had already alerted the ghost dogs outside!

Aiji said solemnly: "The Night Demon outside reported that all the Nether Dog people have gathered around. They don't know what happened yet, but they have sealed the surrounding entrances and exits!"

In other words, the path they had taken to sneak into the bunker was now impassable.

Li You also clicked his tongue: "Such a thing happened at the last moment."

"Let's go, let's go out first."

There is no other way out of this bunker, so the group can only return the same way. As soon as they emerged from the passage, they saw the Nether Dog soldiers tightly surrounding the bunker.

The leader, a muscular prosthetic man, held a loudspeaker and shouted at them: "Little thieves! I don't care where you come from, but you stole it from your Netherworld Dog Grandpa. This is bad luck for you!" "

"Now! Everyone put down their weapons, raise their hands, and stand up one by one! Otherwise, you will die!"

Li You had already gotten out. Hearing this, he looked at the big man and recognized him immediately.

Hey, isn't this Bennett?

Chester Bennett, former lieutenant colonel of the US Marine Corps, a loyal subordinate of Colonel Hansen. When their troops were sent to Night City to carry out the so-called "Midnight Storm" operation, he followed Hansen and later stayed in Dogtown and became one of the top leaders of the Netherhounds.

In the main storyline of the DLC, after Colonel Hansen passed away not peacefully, he was also one of the strongest candidates to inherit the position of the boss of Dogtown.

All the people on Li You's side have come out of the passage. Bennett is not stupid. He saw at a glance that Li You was the one who gave orders, so he shouted at him:

"It's you, little thief! I'll give you a chance. Tell me how you got in and what you stole inside. You only have ten seconds to think about it! Otherwise, you'll be beaten into a sieve!"

Li You rubbed his chin when he heard this. He was indeed considering whether to kill everyone here and rush out. After all, there were not many people from the Netherhounds gathered now.

Moreover, the Night Demons have found Colonel Hansen's arsenal. He can make a big fuss here and launch an attack there at the same time to steal his excellent equipment.

Since he is here, he might as well take the Colonel's coffin book with him.

Although this may completely change the situation in Dog Town, but... Li You has already changed the original game plot beyond recognition, so he is not worried about it.

If it is according to the earliest plan, he has also thought about contacting Colonel Hansen and using his financial power to deal with the neural matrix.

But that was all before he played the heavy hammer. Now he can't keep up with the version. He no longer needs Hansen's power.

No, brother, Lai Xuan is providing manpower and material resources behind the scenes. Who would still look down on a local emperor in Dog Town?

So unless Colonel Hansen himself comes here, Li You doesn't mind killing directly.

But if he really does this, Mr. Hands will definitely be unhappy, because a chaotic Dog Town is not in his interest.

But if that kind of thing really happened, Li You could just spend some more time to help him clean up, so it wouldn't affect him.

Bennett on the opposite side was already counting down. Although Li You didn't speak, Edge, David, V, and even Yuzu looked at each other and saw the same idea in their companions' eyes.

Is this guy counting down to his own death?

Now, including V and David, they have an accurate understanding of their own combat effectiveness.

Although they were surrounded by the Nether Dogs at this time, there were dozens of soldiers on the opposite side, and several mechas of various types. But if they fought, these people would not be enough in front of them.

They were at most worried about what to do if more Nether Dogs were attracted.

Bennett was unaware of this and was still counting down loudly.

"Four--!! Three--!! Two--!"

After counting to this point, Bennett took a deep breath and was about to shout out the last "one", and everyone on Li You's side was ready to take action.

This is what you asked for!

But at this moment, a sharp brake sound was heard, and an armed off-road vehicle with the iconic Nether Dog livery drove over and stopped behind the Nether Dog formation.

Then, a deep voice sounded: "Step back, Bennett, you are too rude to the guests."

Bennett, including other Nether Dog soldiers, were stunned on the spot, and even Li You looked over.

The voice was...

A burly, bald, but majestic middle-aged man wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and tactical trousers got off the car and strode to the front of the Nether Dog formation.

Almost all the Nether Dog soldiers followed him with fanatical eyes, staring at him intently.

The man looked at Li You, and put on a somewhat ferocious smile, saying: "This guest is a new quasi-legend in Night City, the leader of the 'Night Demon' with hundreds of elite warriors under his command. He is not a thief."

"...Right, 'Hunter' Li You?"

Li You smiled and answered naturally: "You are really fast, Colonel Hansen, I was just thinking about how much impact it would have on your business if Bennett was gone."

"After all, I am a newcomer, and it would be impolite to cause too much damage to the host."

Hansen's eyes flashed, and then he laughed: "It seems that we are all people who pay attention to etiquette. In this case, let's talk in a civilized way, how about it?"

"If you don't mind, come to my hotel and sit down, we can have a good chat."

Li You smiled He smiled and replied, "I'm happy to, but..."

Hearing this "but", Hansen's face began to change, but Li You ignored it and finished his words directly:

"But unfortunately, I don't have much time today. If you are really sincere, then send me an invitation letter and I will visit you another day."

Hansen stared at Li You for a while before saying, "Mr. Li You, what you said is inappropriate. You came uninvited tonight, and I respected your reputation and wanted to entertain you, but you refused me."    "I am very embarrassed by your behavior. Maybe we can only solve the differences in a rough way."

Li You said, "Colonel Hansen, I also respect your legendary experience. You are indeed a man who can survive in Night City surrounded by powerful enemies and even conquer a piece of your own territory."

"But I really don't have time to be a guest today, so I hope you won't be embarrassed. Otherwise, there will be chaos in Dog Town after tonight, and I will feel sorry for the friend who sent me in."

Upon hearing this, Colonel Hansen's face completely darkened and he said, "It seems that there will be no peaceful solution today."

Li You said, "It depends on what you think."

Hansen originally planned to order his men to take action, but when he saw Li You's calm and calm look, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

His observation skills are definitely not bad. Not only Li You, but also most of the people present are familiar to him.

The woman in combat uniform next to Li You, and the burly man behind him, these two people were the first to follow him. It can be found that Li You took them with him when he first appeared. Although there is no detailed record of combat effectiveness, It can be speculated that it is not low.

And the boy in the yellow jacket is Li You's apprentice. He is very young, but his strength is not bad.

The first time he came into public view was when he escaped from Adam Hammer at the Dark Matter Nightclub, and then Li You stepped in to help him deal with Hammer.

Being able to hold up under Heavy Hammer until Li You rushed to support him, this kid obviously has something special about him.

As for the other woman with short hair, there is no information, but judging from her position, she is also an important person. There are also two hackers at the back of the queue. Hansen also knows them and knows their abilities.

And the most important thing is that, surrounded by Nether Dogs, not only did Li You look normal, but there was not much nervousness on the faces of those around him. This either meant that they were all a bunch of idiots who didn't know what the sky was like, or something else. There is something to rely on.

And will a team led by a quasi-legend be a bunch of idiots? At least Hansen wouldn't think so. He has always been a person who is both rough and thin. Roughness is just his appearance. In fact, he is a person who pays great attention to details.

So it was the same at this time. Hansen suppressed his anger and began to think about whether Li You really had any trump card.

After a moment, he said: "Li You, what I just said was not polite. I do respect your strength and want to communicate with you peacefully. But you don't give me any face, which makes me very sad." Embarrassed."

"You have also seen that I am also the head of this dog town. In front of so many brothers, I was rejected by the guests. I really couldn't stand down, and they couldn't agree.

"So let's do this. Let's follow the rules of Dog Town. What cards do you have? Show them and see. If you can convince the big guys here, I won't stop you today. You can leave if you want. I will I won't hold you accountable for what you took from my bunker.

"If you can't convince my boys, then it's no wonder I don't talk about the friendship of landlords."

Li You's eyes moved slightly after hearing this. He didn't expect that Colonel Hansen could be so cautious, and he was actually willing to give in at this point.

And when he said this, he also showed his freedom and generosity. The soldiers of Nether Dog admired Hansen very much, so his handling would not damage his prestige too much.

Li You originally didn't want Dog Town to be in chaos, because although he couldn't use Hansen's power now, when he wanted to attack military technology in the future, the colonel was obviously one of the best scapegoats. It still has some impact.

So Li You didn't insist. Hansen gave him the steps, so he walked down the steps and snapped his fingers.

“Buzz——!!”

Two buzzes came from behind the Nether Dog array, and then with a bang, the three Nether Dog chariots were violently thrown away, fell again, and hit the open space between Nether Dog, Li You and others. .

"Bang--!"

Including Hansen himself, the Nether Dog soldiers were startled and looked back.

Then they saw two small Gundam-like prosthetics appearing behind them. The red circle lights on their arms had not yet dissipated. There were also two Nether Dog chariots following their movements in the air. The medium load sank and floated, and then was thrown aside, causing a cloud of smoke and dust when it hit the ground.

Then, a group of prosthetic night demons armed to the teeth came out from the darkness. They were all silent, but they all exuded a pure aura of danger.

However, none of these can compare to the tall figure covered in prosthetic body standing at the forefront of the Night Demon queue.

The dark mechanical body, the flashing red electronic eyes, and the heavy reverberating steps are all the iconic features of the legend.

Among the ghost dogs, all the new American veterans who followed Colonel Hansen, as well as some new but experienced soldiers, all recognized that person.

Night City's legendary killer, Adam Hammer!

Many people exclaimed, but immediately covered their mouths, not even daring to make a sound.

Hansen was also extremely surprised. He looked at "Adam Heavy Hammer" and then turned to look at Li You: "...I thought you were very close to Liang Zi from Arasaka."

Li You said: "Arasaka and I do have differences, but it doesn't affect our cooperation on certain things. Isn't it the same with you and New America? Colonel Hansen."

Hansen stared at Li You for a long time, then looked at the "Heavy Hammer" and the two prosthetic Vajra that were watching covetously from behind. Finally, he just waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "...let them pass!"

Now, everyone in Netherworld Dog had no objections. All the veterans who came out of the new United States have learned from word of mouth from their predecessors during training how terrifying Arasaka's prosthetic demon, Adam Hammer, is.

Even though Colonel Hansen thinks highly of himself and should be at least a quasi-legendary level in terms of strength - this is also the reason why he dares to confront Li You - even he can't help but retreat when facing the heavy hammer.

After all, as a senior veteran of NUSA, he has a deep understanding of the ability of the heavy hammer.

With Li You and his party in front and Adam Heavy Hammer and the two unknown cyborg monsters behind, Colonel Hansen thought about it and still felt that it was too dangerous to take action, so he finally chose to give in.

Li You was not polite either, and led the people around him through the passage made by the Nether Dogs.

Before leaving, he looked at Hansen deeply and said, "Colonel, I respect your experience, and this is not a lie. If there is a chance in the future, maybe we can cooperate."

"Oh, by the way, of course the premise is that everyone can pretend not to see what happened tonight. We keep this secret from each other, which is best, isn't it?"

Hansen also looked at Li You and found that his eyes were very sincere and a little surprised. But Li You's words also gave him a way out, so he naturally wouldn't refuse, so he said: "Okay, if there is a chance."

Li You smiled: "Then goodbye, it's nice to meet you, Colonel Hansen."

He then led his men away, and "Adam Heavy Hammer" also led the Night Demons back into the darkness.

Leaving only Colonel Hansen, who was frowning and thinking, and the Nether Dogs around him who were at a loss.

Hansen thought for a long time, but still felt that he couldn't understand Li You's thoughts and what was going on this time, so he just waved his hand in the end: "Go back! What happened tonight, let me keep it all to myself, I don't want even one person who is not present to know, understand!"

The Nether Dog soldiers answered in unison: "Yes--!!"

"Disperse! Bennett, come with me."

The Nether Dogs then dispersed.

...

On the other side, Li You had already driven through the gate of Dog Town with his men.

Since everything had been exposed to Hansen, he didn't pretend anymore. He gathered everyone and drove out of Dog Town in a long convoy, which confused the Nether Dog Sergeant guarding the gate. It was only when he received a call from above and asked him to release the people that the gate was not blocked.

Not long after Li You walked out of the gate of Dog Town, he received a call from Mr. Hands.

"Li You!? What happened!"

His tone was unusually anxious, "You were discovered by the Nether Dog people? But how did you get out safely? What happened? I need you to explain the situation."

Li You knew that this was related to Mr. Hands' own layout, so he didn't keep him in suspense and told the truth: "We had some problems when exploring the bunker and were discovered by Hansen's people, so I talked to him after we came out."

"But don't worry, I have convinced him, and we came out without using any weapons. Of course, I didn't betray you or anything, don't be nervous."

Mr. Hands' voice was obvious. He calmed down a bit: "... There is such a thing, fortunately you didn't fight."

"But you can actually convince our Colonel Hansen, which really makes me look at you with new eyes. I am curious, do you have any special speaking skills, it seems that you are particularly good at this."

Li You smiled: "Yes, and it's very simple."

"It's similar to what Arasaka Saburo did. I parked the aircraft carrier loaded with nuclear weapons at your doorstep, and then slowly talked to you, so that no matter who it is, they will become calm.

"Although I hate Arasaka Saburo's philosophy, his negotiation method is still very reasonable, convincing people with virtue."

Mr. Hands: "..."

"Well, you said... well."

Even Hands paused, and then continued: "I see that you have left Dog Town. It seems that you have found what you want?"

Li You also did not hide: "I found it and took it away, so what I have to do in Dog Town is basically completed. The rest... There is no rush, just take your time. "

"Mr. Hans, we are very happy to cooperate this time. I will contact you again if there is business in the future. What do you think?"

Hans was silent for a moment before saying: "I have a new understanding of your style and influence... So good, let's cooperate again if there is a chance."

Li You smiled: "Then it's settled."
