Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

night.

Japan, suburbs of Tokyo.

Arasaka Yorinobu changed into a kimono and walked in the corridor of the Arasaka family house.

This Japanese-style mansion located on the outskirts of Tokyo is the private property of the Arasaka family and covers an area of ​​nearly 20 acres. And because of Saburo Arasaka's safety requirements, there are no high-rise buildings within three kilometers of the surrounding area.

Walking in this area is like going back to ancient Japan.

Of course, the simplicity is only on the outside. Behind this ancient city is an absolute line of defense built by the most elite security team under Arasaka, and the most elite security group of the Arasaka Group is stationed there.

Walking through the ancient mansion with a history of more than two hundred years, Yorinobu met his biological father, Saburo Arasaka, in the main house.

Saburo Arasaka sat on his knees, and after Yorinobu entered, he also sat down below without saying a word.

Saburo looked at Yori Xuan before speaking: "...You seemed to have made some noise in Night City some time ago."

Yori Xuan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Military technology is targeting us. We hired mercenaries to attack Herman, but I happened to break through. The informants around me should have given you detailed reports a long time ago, right?" …Father."

Although he addressed himself as "father," Yori Nobu's tone was not respectful, but rather vaguely sarcastic, as if he was saying, which father would arrange for agents to monitor his son 24 hours a day?

Although Lai Xuan had something on his mind, he did not pretend to be a good boy. He had been at odds with Saburo for a long time, so what happened if he suddenly became obedient? Everyone knows there is a problem.

But don't be too emotional. Saburo Arasaka has lived for more than 150 years, and his control over people's hearts has reached its peak. If you show anything strange in front of him, the problem may be discovered, and then all your efforts will be wasted.

However, despite being under so much pressure, Yori Nobu was very calm and behaved exactly as before.

Saburo didn't pay attention to the sarcasm hidden in Yori Xuan's words, and continued to say a few words to him. Yori Xuan became more and more dissatisfied, and finally said no more, said goodbye firmly, and got up and left.

Seeing that this rebellious son was still the same as before, he walked away without saying a few words, and Sanlang also closed his eyes.

However, in his heart, he also let go of his concern about Yori Nobu's slightly eccentric behavior before.

"...Lai Xuan, you are still not mature enough." Saburo felt calm in his heart, "If you act too deliberately like usual, that's a flaw."

"...Looking at this reaction, I guess he hooked up with those worthless street people again.

"That's all, my tolerance has almost reached its limit."

——On the other side, Yori Xuan, who had already walked away, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"...I tried too hard to maintain my 'normal appearance', that's what he must have thought."

Yori Xuan couldn't help but his heartbeat accelerated slightly, but he recovered quickly.

"You have always been so arrogant, thinking that everyone is under your control."

"But you are wrong. I have never, and will never, let myself completely fall into your hands!"

Yori Xuan gritted his teeth and went all the way back to his room. After confirming that no one was there, he went through the plan in his mind.

"...The time to steal the chip is the day after tomorrow."

"Success or failure depends on this!"

Saburo Arasaka is already 150 years old, and he doesn't have any prosthetics, so he mostly relies on cryo-sleep technology to maintain his body's functions.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to stay awake all the time and monitor Yorinobu. The next time he falls into deep sleep, it will be Yorinobu's time to take action.

Thinking of this, Yori Xuan recalled his last conversation with Li You before setting off this time.

At that time, Li You told him that most of the preparations to be made had been completed, including the key chips for the subsequent plan to deal with military technology, and they had discussed the specific steps.

Now there is only one step left to solve Arasaka Saburo and take control of Arasaka Company.

But this is also the most troublesome step. Although in the "future" Li You sees, Saburo is strangled to death by Yori Xuan. However, he also made it clear to Yori Xuan that because he intervened too early, the world line Changes have occurred and the future is no longer clearly visible.

Therefore, just in case, the two decided to steal the relic chip according to the development of the original world line, then lure Saburo Arasaka to Night City, and then attack him at that time - in the process, Li Try not to interfere during the whole journey to avoid butterfly wings from fanning the future into the invisible darkness.

So this time, Yori Xuan did the same when formulating a plan to steal the chip. He almost completely excluded Li You from consideration and purely thought based on "how would I have stolen the chip if it were me before?"

Because Li You didn't know how Yori Xuan in the original game world stole the chip and brought it back to Night City, so he really could only rely on Yori Xuan himself.

But fortunately, Yori Xuan did have a plan in advance, so everything was arranged quickly.

Now, all we have to do is wait for that day to come.

Yori Xuan sat on his knees in his room and closed his eyes to let his brain cool down and his heartbeat slow down.

After so many years of planning, the key is that after tomorrow, he must maintain the most stable state and must not have any problems.

This was difficult, but for him, it was no more difficult than decades of forbearance.

So Yorinobu rested quietly.

…

At the same time, it was noon in Night City.

Li You is in the Night Demon's Lair in Stone Ridge Mountain again, and this time he is with V.

Lai Xuan has returned to Tokyo and will soon implement the plan to steal the relic chip. At this time, it is unnecessary to hide V, a key figure.

Li You will not tell David about it, nor does he intend to let him participate. This kind of thing is too dangerous. But V is different. She will not be absent.

So, Li You told her most of his and Lai Xuan's plans.

After listening to V, she was first incredible, then excited and nervous.

"... I didn't expect that you would want to make trouble for Saburo Arasaka? This is really, really... too fucking!"

Even V couldn't think of any words to describe Li You and Lai Xuan at this time.

"You actually wanted to drag me into this kind of thing. Should I thank you for thinking highly of me, or scold you for taking me with you even if you want to die?"

Although V said this, his eyes flashed with unprecedented excitement.

Li You also saw the fire in her eyes, so he smiled and said: "Didn't you say that if you want to do something, you have to do it in a grand way even if you die? Now, the opportunity has come."

V laughed and scolded: "Fuck you, you have thought about it for me, right? What if I don't want to die?"

Li You shook his head: "That's just a metaphor. I'm here and I won't let you die."

V was stunned for a moment before saying: "It sounds good, but what you do is no different from seeking death? If you die first, I will die with you."

Li You shook his head again: "I won't die either."

"... You are as mysteriously confident as always." V snorted, "I really don't know how you survived until now."

"Okay, since I'm on your pirate ship anyway, what else can I say? Count me in."

Li You smiled and stretched out his hand: "You are very welcome."    V waved his hand casually: "Then don't say those useless things. Bring the wine! Good wine!"

"Drinking at this time? In broad daylight..." Li You glanced at her and complained.

"Don't you have to drink together before doing something big like this in the East?" V said nonchalantly, "I'm just adapting to the local customs."

Li You looked at her with empty eyes: "When did you adapt to the local customs? And I doubt whether you can tell the nationality of Lai Xuan and me... Besides, there are always some strange things about your understanding of Eastern customs. Where did you read it from?"

V: "Novel."

Li You: I know it.

He shook his head and said nothing more. He found a blind spot in V's sight and took out the Endless Wine Flask. He opened the lid and smelled it: "Well, you are in for a treat today."

V also smelled the fragrance and his eyes lit up: "Is this Longquan? Good guy, you finally took it out again?"

Li You smiled: "I said last time that even I can't get Longquan at any time. You are lucky. Come on."

Still using the cup made of Minotaur's horn, Li You poured wine for himself and V and raised the glass: "Then I wish us success, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

The two of them started drinking directly in the Night Demon's lair. After you and I drank, most of the jar of wine was quickly swallowed, and then V was a little drunk again.

"Let me tell you...!" She half-closed her eyes and looked at Li You, "I still know that the people in your hometown have some local customs... I know them all!"

"Oh?" Li You was still conscious and asked with a smile, "For example?"

"For example... the old men in your place all practice kung fu... and you young people all like... white hair and red eyes! Right!"

Li You: "..."

Where the hell did you see this?

A two-dimensional website in the cyberpunk world?

He managed to hold back from complaining, but V took this silence as a default: "I knew it!"

"Then you are the same, don't you also only like long white hair and red pupils? Right? Right!"

She slapped the table and said, "I guessed it right!"

Li You couldn't bear it any longer: "Yes, yes, you are right! Okay! Come on, drink!"

He thought about it and quickly gave V a drink and then sent him away. Why did this guy suddenly lose his drinking habit?

V's eyes lit up and he came over directly: "Heh, you want to get me drunk? You can try!"

- Ten minutes later.

Li You carried the unconscious V and walked out of the compartment of the underground lair.

Edge was outside training a group of night demons to use their energy. Seeing him bringing V out, he couldn't help but complain: "Why should you hold her instead of carrying her?"

Li You said speechlessly: "This guy is too excited. I quickly got her drunk and sent her back."

"Let's stop here today. We are also ready to leave."

"Okay." Edge snorted and laughed, and didn't say much. After assigning tasks to the night demons, he left Stone Ridge Mountain with Li You.

Of course, Li You, who stayed in Night City, must have prepared more things in advance than just a showdown with V.

Today, V has already entered the legendary level of combat power, which is basically no worse than David's full-strength burst, and his ability to protracted war is much stronger. But obviously, Li You can't bet everything on someone's combat power, whether it is Adam Hammer, V, or himself.

To date, it has been nearly half a month since he took away the container host containing the neural matrix from Dog Town. During this period, the Night Demon's Nest, with sufficient energy supply, has been constantly breeding Night Demons every moment.

How many Night Demons can be bred in a month with the speed of the Night Demon Nest Core, which has now been upgraded to level 4, hatching eggs all day long, and with Aggie coming to help with the acceleration BUFF from time to time?

The answer is... close to 800.

[Night Demon Nest (small and medium scale)]

[Core level: level 4 (can breed 24 Night Demons at the same time). ]

[Hatching speed: level 4 (breeding and hatching time: 24 hours). ]

For anyone who knows the combat power of Night Demons, this is a terrifying number, and a small half of them have brain-computer chips implanted.

But for Li You, the consumption is also terrifying...

Even if we calculate it based on 50 energy points for an ordinary Night Demon, the 800 Night Demons consume 40,000 points of energy from the Nest Core, and then we have to consider the purchase cost of the brain-computer chip... In comparison, the labor cost of the operation was treated as a small amount by him.

If it weren't for Lai Xuan taking out his own private money to fully support, Li You really couldn't afford to supply so many Night Demons for a while. It's not entirely because he doesn't have enough money, but more because he has no channels to get so many "energy foods" and brain-computer chips.

But the results are also remarkable. After this month, with the more than 500 night demons accumulated before, the total size of the night demons has reached 1300+. This number has caused the three large nests to be unable to accommodate them, and the night demons have to continue to open up new horizons deep underground.

Fortunately, the abandoned intercontinental maglev tunnel under Night City is spacious enough to accommodate many night demons. And the night demons are also continuing to dig holes, digging towards Arasaka Tower, Dog Town, and Stone Ridge Mountain in the Badlands.

Of course, it's called digging holes, but in fact it's more about digging those abandoned underground passages. The underground network of Night City is already well-connected.

Although it's not impossible to dig directly through, it saves time and effort. And Li You only realized later that the night demons and their products will disappear after he leaves this world.

What if he lets the Night Demons dig holes underground now? When he leaves, the mucus condensation used to support the underground caverns will also disappear. Then several large areas of Night City will probably collapse... Li You can't accept this.

So it's better to use the old tunnels.

In short, the ultimate goal of the Night Demons' construction is to connect several important underground facilities as much as possible, so that when they need to go out, they can quickly rush to the battlefield through these channels and avoid the sunlight during the day.

This is the project that the Night Demons are busy with.

As for the remaining companions, David Li You doesn't want him to participate, and Mann and the others are actually the same.

Mann, Dolio, Rebecca and others are very strong, but they are not enough to intervene in the internal struggle of Arasaka... Including Sasha, she herself is not at the level of a legendary hacker, and her accumulation is still insufficient. It is too dangerous to fight against the Arasaka hacker team.

Yes, Li You's criterion for judging whether they are suitable to join is the risk of participating in the war.

There is no way. Li You now regards these people as friends, so naturally he doesn't want them to get into trouble.

If he finally saved everyone with great effort, but lost half of them after a battle, he couldn't accept it.

However, Sasha, who probably knew some of the inside story, actually had some guesses about Li You's thoughts, and seemed dissatisfied... This was a small detail that Li You didn't know.

In short, Li You was making as complete preparations as possible, including emergency measures if he failed.

Everything was just waiting for Lai Xuan to bring back the relic chip from Tokyo.

Li You sat on the balcony, wiping the lightning and moonlight with a thin towel. From time to time, there was a stream of light on the blade, as if the moonlight was flowing.

"... I'm waiting for you, Lai Xuan."
