Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

The bald man in black leather armor thought for a while and decided to listen to his heart, not to take risks, and quietly leave.

After all, for some reason, he always felt a chill on his back when he saw the man in front of him, and the radar in his mind kept ringing.

But he had just taken a step back when a hand was placed on his shoulder very kindly and naturally: "Hey, old friend, are you leaving now?"

The bald man immediately froze.

His neck stiffly turned 90 degrees slowly and looked to the side. The man who was arm in arm with him, wasn't he the guy who was sitting at the ruins a second ago?

"Ah...Ahahaha!" The bald man smiled stiffly, "Yes, yes! It's you, old friend. Look, it's so dark, I didn't recognize you, it's really wrong! Long time no see!"

Li You looked at the man in front of him and was a little amused, asking: "Oh? You recognized me? Then where did we meet last time?"

"This, that, I..." The man hesitated for a few words, and finally said in a broken way: "Actually... I accidentally hit my head when I went out not long ago, so I can't remember many things... But I'm sure we must have been good brothers in the past, right?"

He is good at taking advantage of the situation, and he seems to believe it as he speaks. In addition, Li You didn't deny it, so he slapped his thigh: "Oh! I knew that our relationship must be close! I felt very familiar with you when I saw you the first time! This is true!"

Li You: Happy.

His hand tightened: "Come with me."

- Soon, under the ancient ruins.

Not only Li You, but also Yuzu and the other two surrounded him, blocking the bald man in the middle. Six pairs of surprised and curious eyes stared at him non-stop, frightening him to kneel on the ground, not daring to move.

Needless to say, the bald and wretched black-clothed man in front of him could only be the soul character of the Soul series, Patch.

When Li You came out of the ruins of Posthouse Street before, he noticed that someone was secretly spying on them. He quietly asked Aggie to quietly use his ability to perceive and found out that the person was Patch.

Li You was not surprised, because Patch in the Magic Ring was also active in the Nimgefu area, but Yuzu and the others were inevitably surprised.

How come this guy looks exactly like the one in the Dark Soul world? Even the name, voice, personality, and that indescribable temperament are the same?

Patch also traveled through time?

Although in this world, the name he reported is no longer "Unyielding", but "Crazy" Patch, but anyway, they are the same person.

But judging from his reaction, it seems that he really doesn't know them, which makes Yuzu and the other two confused.

Patch's mind turned quickly: "You... do you all know me?"

V nodded: "A little thief with crude deception skills."

Edge described: "A coward who is very skilled in begging for mercy."

Yuzu was the most direct: "A very weak bald head."

Patch: "..."

Can you save some face?

But in this way, he is also sure that the people in front of him really know him, otherwise how can they summarize his personality traits so accurately?

But if that's the case, how can he have no impression of them at all? Judging from the temperament of these people, if he has dealt with them before, he will definitely not forget them, but except for the man in the robe who looks familiar, he doesn't know anyone else.

Could it be that he really bumped his head before and lost his memory?

Just when Patch was in self-doubt, Li You finally spoke: "Okay, don't dwell on this. Patch, you came at the right time. Let your bandit group help me collect some information, and I will pay you. In addition, I also want to ask you something."

Patch: "...Ah?"

...

The next day, at dawn.

Li You and his party had a simple meal and started to head south.

In the south of Nimgefu, there is a peninsula. Because of the humid climate and rainy weather all year round, it is named the Weeping Peninsula. That is Li You's destination.

But this time, there is a conspicuous bald man in their team.

Patch Benchi.

Yuzu followed him and stared at him, while Patch's face was full of despair. He couldn't help but say, "No, buddy. You asked me to help you collect information about that person, so you have to let me go, right? How can I get information if you tie me up?"

Li You glanced at him and said, "If I don't watch you, you will probably turn around and run away, right? Anyway, you have assigned the task to your bandit group, so just give it to them for the time being. It's not a difficult task."

Patch in the game first appeared in the Mongliu Cave near Yakir Lake, setting up a crude trap to trap people and rob property. The cave was very small, and there were several bandit soldiers in it. According to Patch, they were his men.

Although all these soldiers in the game will rush up and chop people when they see the player, in fact, this is mainly because the faded ones have inherited the glorious tradition of the protagonists of the Souls series who are hated by people and dogs. Wild dogs on the roadside will come up and bite them. Many soldiers in the border area are not zombies like the Dark Souls, and they are not unable to communicate.

Therefore, Li You had asked Patch to recruit his men and gave them the task of investigating Kara's past in Nimgfu. Although these bandits were not very smart, they were still capable of such a simple task.

After the task was assigned, Patch wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but was caught by Li You and dragged into the team.

"How could I run away! We are good brothers!"

After hearing Li You's sharp words, Patch's bald head was sweating coldly. He wanted to quibble, but seeing that Li You was indifferent, he finally accepted his fate:

"Okay! It's my bad luck to meet you! You are going to the Weeping Peninsula, right? It just so happens that I have an informant there, and he still owes me intelligence fees. I also want to find him!"

Although Li You didn't remember that there was such an NPC on the peninsula in the game, he didn't care, as long as Patch gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

The group went down the road that the mountain giant convoy took before in the southeast of Lake Yakir. This is the main road to the peninsula.

There are several simple checkpoints on the road, guarded by a few soldiers. Among them, the formal soldiers wore tube-shaped coats and were equipped with sophisticated weapons. There were also some soldiers and followers to assist.

These checkpoints have limited ability to resist the enemy, and they mainly serve as a warning.

As for those guarding inside, they are "Grek soldiers", who are members of the army of the demigod "Limb Reattachment" Grek.

When the Elden Ring was broken, a shocking melee broke out among the demigods in the border area - the "Broken War".

"Limb Reattachment" Grek, "Blessed King" Monget, Justice Rakad, "Star Breaker" Latan, "Micaela's Blade" Marlenia... When the ring was broken, the demigods each got a piece of it - the Great Rune, and the war broke out because of it.

This war almost swept across most of the border area. The demigods fought until the mountains and rivers were broken and the roads were wiped out, and in the end, they couldn't even decide a real winner.

No one won this war, but the aftermath of the turmoil has spread to the entire border area.

So even now, the Shattered War has ended for a long time, the various areas of the border are still in a very fragmented state. The knights and soldiers who fought to the death on the battlefield, as well as many facilities during the war, have been preserved.

The outpost in front of Li You and his team came from this.

"Gerrick soldier... the shame of the demigod, limb-removing Gerrick is still alive, right?" Looking at the drowsy soldiers inside the outpost, Li You turned to ask Patch.

"He's still alive, and he's still asking his men to grab people everywhere to reattach limbs." Patch curled his lips, "Really, even if I saw it, I think that kind of thing is outrageous! He really has the nerve to call himself the Golden King!"

The so-called limb-removal is literally what it means. The demigod Gerrick will grab different creatures and splice their limbs onto himself, turning them into his own power.

Among all the demigods who participated in the Shattered War, Gerrick is the weakest one. He is a descendant of the Golden Clan, not the biological son of the Eternal Queen Marika, and his power is also very weak. That's why he chose to use the unorthodox method of "limb grafting" to try to increase his strength.

It didn't work. Even though he grafted other people's arms onto his body, he was beaten to his knees and begged for mercy when he met a Valkyrie who passed by by chance. He only survived by licking her feet and admitting defeat. He was really a wimp.

So even Patch looked down on him, and had no problem with Li You calling him the shame of demigods.

In the game, Grek was the first demigod to be challenged in the normal process, and the difficulty was the lowest. So Li You asked about his situation to confirm whether the main line of the Ring of Law world had changed.

Hearing that Grek was still alive, Li You stopped talking.

There were many checkpoints ahead. Although ordinary Grek soldiers had long ceased to challenge Li You and others, they would not rush in directly. That was completely unnecessary.

Instead, the skilled Patch came forward and led Li You and others to turn left and right on the edge of the road. After taking a rather tortuous route, they actually bypassed those checkpoints very smoothly and passed through this area.

Li You couldn't help but say to Patch: "You are very skilled. I'm afraid you know more than this 'small road'?"

Patch laughed: "It's a commercial secret. I can't tell you."    "But this side is easy to say, but there's no way to bypass the bridge in front."

As they talked, they had already arrived at the bridge connecting Nimgefu and the Weeping Peninsula. The bridge in front was obviously much longer than what Li You remembered. At the end of the bridge, there was a huge crossbow cart quietly lying dormant.

Patch led Li You and his party to the bushes at the bridgehead and pointed to the crossbow cart at the end: "That thing is specially used in city defense battles, and its power is no joke."

Li You also agreed with this: "Do you have a solution?"

If necessary, he could certainly take action and smash the crossbow cart directly, but he was also curious about what Patch would do.

When it comes to his professional field, Patch is obviously more confident and smiled obscenely: "Of course I have a way, but you guys... hehe!"

Li You understood: "I'll put it down first."

"Okay!" Patch got excited and rubbed his hands, "Then watch me."

As he said, he strode towards the sentry at the bridgehead with a classic large shield and spear under the unexpected gaze of Li You and others.

The Grek soldiers in front of him naturally noticed him, so they also came forward, fully armed and blocking in front of Patch, with "No Passage" written all over their faces. Even the crossbow at the end of the bridge was raised and aimed at his position.

But Patch's expression did not waver at all, just looking at the soldiers in front of him, facing the sharp blades in their hands.

Just when Li You almost thought that Patch wanted to perform a "one-minute hero", he suddenly bent his waist, his expression changed, showing a flattering smile, and then took out a linen bag from his waist and handed it over.

From the faint light emanating from the pocket, it was obviously filled with a mass of golden runes.

The so-called rune can basically be understood as the common currency of the border.

The Grek soldier who took the bag opened it and looked at it, then nodded with satisfaction, turned around and raised his hand, and the crossbow at the other end of the bridge dropped again. The soldier gestured to Patch again, indicating that he should pass quickly.

Patch still had a smile on his face: "Thank you, sir!"

Then he turned around and waved to Li You and the others: "Let's go!"

Li You: "..."

Edge, V: "..."

Yuzu: "?"

Li You was choked for a moment. This is really a simple but useful method. Things passed down by our ancestors are useful, right?

But anyway, it's easy to cross the bridge, so this is not impossible...

With Patch's Rune leading the way, everyone successfully passed the bridge and came to the Weeping Peninsula area.

"So, where are you going? Morn City?" Patch looked at Li You, "I'm going to the wilderness in the west next, I guess it's not on the way, it seems we have to say goodbye."

Obviously, Patch was still thinking of taking the opportunity to run away.

However, Li You did not complain at the first time, but raised his eyebrows and said, "I want to go to the western wilderness too."

"Ah?" Patch was stunned, "You are going there too? Could it be... Forget it! I don't care, since you are going to the west, let's go!"

Patch thought that Li You's destination was the city lord's mansion of the Weeping Peninsula, Morn City. In fact, Li You also thought so about him. Unexpectedly, the destinations of both parties were basically the same, which surprised both of them.

But this is indeed a good thing, so they continued to act together.

The terrain of the Weeping Peninsula is complex, with hills, plains, and forests, but the environment is not so pleasant.

There are threats such as carnivorous beasts and Miranda flowers in the wild here, and most importantly, there are a large number of "sub-human" activities. It is a kind of half-human and half-beast, ugly and not very intelligent humanoid creatures, with large and small sizes, but most of them are very cruel.

Generally, travelers will never act alone on the Weeping Peninsula rashly, otherwise they may inexplicably become dinner for some strange creatures. However, for Li You and his party, the beasts and subhumans had no choice but to flee when they saw them.

Therefore, although it rained here as the name suggests shortly after they arrived at the peninsula, Li You and his party still successfully passed through the mountainous and hilly area with complex terrain and dense forests and came to the wilderness on the west side of the peninsula.

The scene here is very different. It is a wide plain, and the vast sea is farther away.

There are only a few ups and downs on this wilderness, and there are also scattered relics. The view is very wide at a glance, which makes everyone who has been walking in the rain for a long time in the forest feel refreshed.

But no one ignores the giant object that is slowly moving in the lowest part of the wilderness in the distance.

It is a strange object. From a distance, it looks like a turtle as tall as a hill. It has a heavy shell and moves slowly with four long legs. Every step causes the ground to shake.

But if you look closely, you will find that there is a man-made building like a temple on its back, and the whole body is made of stone. There is no organ like a head at all. It is just a spirit temple with legs and can walk.

"What is that...?"

For V, before she met Li You, she had an attitude of "I have seen everything", but after traveling with Li You, she always saw things that she had never imagined, which belonged to "I have never seen this scene before".

But now she is not too surprised. After all, compared with the savior she saw before, this spirit temple is nothing. V is more curious about what the thing is used for.

A spirit temple with legs and can walk is fine, and there is also a big bell hanging under its body. As it walks and wanders, the ancient bell keeps sending out distant echoes.

"That's the Wandering Spirit Temple, used to worship the dead offspring of the Eternal Queen Marika." Li You explained simply, "It has nothing to do with us at this stage, don't worry about it."

V looked at him: "I thought you were going to dismantle that thing and rebuild it."

Li You glanced at her: "Who do you think I am? Are you plucking feathers from a passing goose?"

V smiled but said nothing.

Without wasting time on the Wandering Spirit Temple, the group came to another abandoned church in the wilderness area. Seeing Li You's unhesitating route all the way, Patch finally couldn't help asking: "...Are you also here to find the ruins of the sealed witch?"

"Yes, you are." Li You also anticipated Patch's goal and asked: "Tell me, why did you come here too?"

"No, no, no." Patch quickly denied, "I'm not here to find the ruins of the witch. Who wants to get close to such a dangerous place?"

"Just like what I said before, there is a person who owes me intelligence fees. What he bought was information about that ruin! And he also knows a lot of things himself, so I came to him. It's not you who wants it. Want to get some news?"

Li You's eyes moved slightly: "Really...who is that person?"

"That guy said his name is..."

"Old man Jie Lian, 'Witch Hunter' Jie Lian."

Before Patch finished speaking, another hoarse and somewhat old voice rang out, and then he saw a man wearing a brightly colored strange armor and carrying a flame-shaped sword walking out from the other side of the abandoned church.

The man was wearing an old armor with large patches of red and blue paint, which was very conspicuous. He also wore a pointed rag hood, and even the image of an old man with a beard on the visor of his helmet.

Aiji had long sensed his approach and alerted everyone in the spiritual link, so at this moment, Li You turned to look at him without surprise: "It turns out he is the Lord of the Red Lion City. I have admired him for a long time...but you Why are you coming so far when you are not holding a battle festival in Galede?"

Jie Lian, who claimed to be a witch hunter, glanced at him: "I didn't expect that a warrior like you would have heard of my bad name. I'm really a little scared."

"However, it seems that your information is not very well informed. The battle festival has ended long ago."

Li You: "Ah???"

What did you say? ?

He suddenly turned his head to look at Patch: "You don't want to tell me such an important thing?"

Patch: "?"

"You didn't ask either? You just asked Greg, didn't you?"

Li You: "......"

Grass!

Miscalculation!
