The fishing line was tightened and the fishing rod bent instantly, and the "big fish" below took the bait immediately.

Li You's hand holding the fishing rod tightened, sank slightly, and then stabilized. The fishing suit produced by the system is strong and durable, not to mention that Li You also attached his own energy to the fishing rod and fishing line, so even though they were stretched to the limit, they did not break.

Chris and Jack on the side were surprised: Can energy be used in this way?

It really works.

Of course, being able to keep the fishing rod connected is one thing, but catching the "big fish" is another. The mutant fish biting the hook below is no less large than the former master of the lake. Even if ten fishermen are tied together, it can easily drag you into the water.

But now, even without using magic to strengthen, Li You's pure physical strength has surpassed those tyrant-type BOWs, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is a humanoid weapon. So he just turned the magic power in his body, pulled hard, and pulled the big fish below out of the water!

The mutant fish struggled violently in mid-air, its body and tentacles constantly dancing. Because Li You stood firmly on the door of the hovercraft without moving, it caused the entire hovercraft to shake!

Seeing this, Chris and Jack drew their guns to help kill the mutant fish, but Edge had already reached the door, pulled out a cracked clay pot from behind, and threw it out with a wave of his hand.

The small pot fell accurately on the head of the mutant monster fish, and the pot body shattered immediately, and a large ball of light purple mist burst out from it!

After the mutant fish's head was covered by purple mist, it immediately lowered its head and stopped moving after just one or two seconds.

Chris and Jack both widened their eyes. If the strange fish had not been breathing obviously, they would have thought that Edge had dealt with it in one go.

"What was that just now...?" Chris couldn't help but ask.

"Hypnotic gas." Li You answered in a way that they could better understand, then slowly reeled in the line and brought the huge strange fish to the side of the floating car door.

He signaled to Yuzu again, so Yuzu also walked forward, raised his hand, and three tentacles shot out from under his wrist, easily penetrating the thick skin of the mutant fish and reaching into its body.

After Yuzu's tentacles swam around the fish for a few times, they retracted and he nodded to Li You. Li You understood: "It is indeed a modified version of the Plaka parasite, and it can even resist the influence of the dominant Plaka? It's still the same as the original plot..."

Yuzu once absorbed "Amber", and is suspected to be a special individual with the highest level of authority among the Plaka parasites. However, due to his special physique, he completely absorbed and fused the Amber, so the original ability of the Amber was somewhat weakened.

The most important thing is that Yuzu is in an "extremely weak period" affected by the system, and all his abilities, all his abilities, are only one tenth of his normal state. Therefore, even if he has absorbed amber, he can hardly affect these mutated Type II and Type III Plaka.

But this doesn't matter. Today, why do they still need to rely on the power of amber to interfere with the enemy?

While Li You was thinking, he loosened the fishing line and let the mutant fish fall into the swamp below.

Chris was stunned. Did Li You just let this virus-mutated monster go? Was this...

As he was still thinking about this, he saw that the strange fish suddenly ignited a black and red flame when it was halfway down. The flame spread quickly, completely covering its huge body, and then almost instantly turned its flesh and blood into ashes!

That's not all. The big fish was burned to ashes before it hit the water, and the scattered sparks seemed messy, but in fact they accurately found the other two mutant fish that were still wandering below, attached to them, and also spread out in almost the blink of an eye.

The second fish immediately followed the first one, and even if the last fish reacted faster and dived into the swamp water in advance, it was useless. The black and red flames caught up with it without being affected at all and burned it to ashes.

After that, the horrifying flame suddenly went out and disappeared without leaving any trace. Even in the swamp below, the uninfected fish were still swimming leisurely.

Jack was stunned, while Chris couldn't help but look at Li You and asked in a deep voice: "This is a completely extraordinary ability... Li You, how strong are you now?"

Li You had just put away his fishing rod. Hearing this, he thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about it. Maybe, chopping a nuclear bomb with a knife..."

Chris, Jack: “!?”

“…I still can’t do it.”

Fortunately, Li You changed the subject, which made the two of them feel relieved. But he immediately said, "But apart from this kind of thing, other modern weapons are not a big threat to me unless they are sneak attacks."

This time Chris and Jack were really stupid.

After a long while, Chris sighed and said, "In this case, you don't need our help at all."

Li You shook his head slightly: "That's not the case. No matter how strong I am, I can't accomplish everything by myself. Besides, that's a power beyond this world. I don't plan to use my full strength unless it's necessary."

"I've told Claire before that the heroes this world needs aren't outsiders like me, but you who have been fighting for this world. The time I can stay here is limited, and the responsibility of fighting against those bio-terrorists will eventually fall on your shoulders."

After all, Chris is not a hypocritical person. After listening to Li You's words, he immediately perked up: "Yes, this world still needs us to protect it after all. We can't just rely on your strength... I already understood that!"

Compared to Chris, Jack was still a little immature, and he was indeed a little shocked. But at this moment, after hearing the conversation between the two, he also understood more deeply the beliefs and pursuits of Chris and his friends. While he was deeply shocked, he also cheered up.

Li You noticed the reactions of both of them and couldn't help but smile: "This time the situation is urgent, otherwise I wouldn't want to get involved in many things. But since you've already taken action, let's resolve it quickly."

He said, snapping his fingers: "Okay, let's continue to the intended destination!"

The cyborg puppet received the order and immediately controlled the hovercraft to set off again, breaking through the wind at top speed.

There was no need to be distracted this time. According to the coordinates given by Alvin earlier, the group quickly found a cave on the shore in an inconspicuous corner of the edge of the Great Swamp, and the waterway extended into it.

The hovercraft then lowered its altitude and flew into the cave almost close to the water surface.

This section of waterway alone looks unremarkable, with narrow caves, an old indigenous dock at the end, and a tunnel extending forward. It seems that this is just a village inhabited by ignorant residents who still follow the local ancient tribal customs today.

However, when the group got off the hovercraft and walked for a distance along the tunnel ahead, the sudden and bright scene before them made everyone's eyes widen.

"Bang!"

Chris stomped to death the last spider-shaped burrowing insect that had been harassing them in the tunnel, and looked forward.

At the exit of the tunnel is an extremely large and complex ancient relic. Everything here is full of local style. Stone buildings of all sizes are scattered everywhere, and roads of varying widths crisscross like a maze. Torches and braziers are burning everywhere for lighting.

However, what really illuminates this underground ruins area is the sunlight from the outside that shines in through the cave on the top. The light, which is actually not abundant, falls on a giant crystal in the center of the ruins, is refracted, and finally fills the entire space.

Although this entire site does not have magnificent ancient buildings, the overall design and layout reveal the hard work and wisdom of the builders. There are even some ancient mechanisms that appear to be in a usable condition.

Not to mention Chris and the others, even for Li You, the story of the fifth generation of Resident Evil was a memory from quite a long time ago. Now seeing the ruins with his own eyes, even he was cheered up.

This is it, the remains of the ancient Nibiru tribe, and the origin of all viruses in the biochemical series!

But it was obvious that they were not welcome guests.

“Swoosh, swoosh—!!”

Several homemade bows and arrows with burning arrowheads flew towards the crowd from the darkness. Chris and Jack subconsciously wanted to dodge, but Li You had already raised his hand, and the Shield of Aegis covered all five of them.

Those crude arrows certainly couldn't break through Li You's magic defense, and they were immediately bounced off and fell to the ground. Chris and Jack were a little helpless when they saw this, but the archers hiding in the dark were furious.

"Jili Gulu Jili——"

As a chaotic local language sounded in Li You's ears, strange people in strange clothes emerged one after another from the side walls of the cave in front of him, as well as from the intersections and buildings of ancient ruins.

Those people looked like local residents, but their skin had turned from dark to grayish black, and they looked lifeless. Their faces had become hideous and distorted, with black blood vessels bulging on their faces.

Moreover, they all took off their modern clothes and put on the costumes of the ancient Nibiru tribe. They smeared runes symbolizing courage on their bodies, wrapped their bodies with hay and animal skins, wore various tooth and bone ornaments, and some wore huge and weird masks similar to the ancient shaman style, jumping towards the crowd.

"What are they doing...?" Before Jack could react, Chris had already made a judgment based on his rich experience: "Damn... They are infected!"

This is indeed the case. Today, the former Nibiyans have long since integrated into modern society and are no longer bound by past customs and lifestyles. The only explanation for their revisiting those old habits and hiding in the ruins is that they were infected by the Plaka.

These local residents now really seemed to have regained the brutality and bloodthirstiness of the ancient tribesmen. They rushed forward with primitive weapons such as swords, guns, bows and arrows, and woven shields, as if they were going to cut the group into pieces with their swords.

…Then they all crashed into the Aegis Shield and were all bounced back.

“Wooooooooooooooooo!!”

After being bounced away and falling, these infected people all bounced up from the ground swiftly, and their movements were not like those of conventional "zombies". They seemed to be communicating with each other, and after another group of companions rushed up and were bounced away, this group of infected people actually took the initiative to retreat and scattered into the ruins.

"What are they going to do now?" Jack raised his large-caliber pistol and looked at the ruins, frowning slightly, "I always feel that they haven't given up yet."

"Indeed not." Aggie nodded, "They all went to operate the mechanisms in the ruins."

Just as they were talking, there was a loud "bang" and two huge rocks that were not round were ejected by the mechanism and fell towards them rapidly!

Chris and Jack subconsciously wanted to dodge again, but when they saw that Li You and Edge did not move, they stopped.

Meaning... there's no need to hide from this, right?

Of course.

In fact, with the strength of the Aegis Shield released by Li You now, it is not a problem to hold up these two huge rocks. However, Yuzu seemed to be a little dissatisfied because he had not exercised for a long time, so he took the initiative to attack at this moment.

Youzi let out a long roar, then suddenly jumped up and pounced towards the two flying rocks!

He was holding a dark golden shield in a round shape. There were irregular undulating lines on the shield, which looked like tree roots and some traces of erosion. Yuzu held the shield and rushed directly towards the boulder!

“Bang!!”

The first huge rock shattered into countless small rocks that flew like rain, and the second one followed, also hitting Yuzu and shattering. However, this also caused Yuzu to be knocked down from the air and hit hard not far in front of Li You's magic barrier.

Smoke and dust rose up, and the ground shook, but Yuzu stood up immediately without any impact on her movements.

Even if his full power was reduced to one tenth, it certainly wouldn't hurt him. Yuzu just shook his head and set his sights on a new target.

They were giants nearly three meters tall, wearing masks and tribal uniforms, who came out from the corner of the ruins. They rushed towards Li You and his group, carrying sledgehammers made of tree trunks, human skulls, and sharp wooden thorns!

Yuzu roared and rushed forward with his shield raised!

“BOOM——!!”

At the same time, BSAA's cleanup work was underway in several previously blocked settlements. Except for the Delta Squad, almost all the fighters of the West African branch gathered here to launch the largest-scale operation.

The West African branch was able to be so bold because their actions were guaranteed. After more than ten hours of research, Louis and Rebecca had completely cracked the new virus and the improved version of Plaka that infected the Kizzuzu region, and quickly developed the latest serum and inhibitors for them, and even achieved mass production.

Of course, this is mainly because they discovered that this virus and Plaka are, after all, modified products based on the research results of the secret department of Trasefer, so they only need to adjust the serum and inhibitors that the secret department already has a formula for.

After emergency tests confirmed that the drugs were correct, the West Africa branch distributed them without hesitation and organized a large-scale cleanup operation.

So at this time, not to mention BSAA fighters like Jill and Sheva, Carlos and Tyrael who came to help, and Claire who arrived here with the transport troops, all joined in the action and played the role of backbone.

“Tatttatttatt——”

Jill shot down several infected people with her gun, saved two BSAA soldiers, and asked them to evacuate first. She continued to shoot while encouraging her teammates: "It's just the last point, everyone, hold on!"

With her as the BSAA ace, many people felt at ease. They then made steady progress and continued to advance the front line.

Similar scenes were happening in several settlements at the same time, and the operation to eliminate the infection was progressing very smoothly. Claire, who had joined in, wiped her sweat, observed the battle, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It looks like we should be able to clean up this area soon."

Everything seems to be stable and improving.

——At the same time, in the deepest part of Sanlian Company’s research base.

A man with blond hair and slicked back hair, wearing a black suit, sunglasses and a stern face, sat at a desk, looking at the images on the screen, which were pictures of underground ruins and several settlements.

Watching the "invaders" on the screen advancing, the man suddenly sneered.

"...Heh, it looks like it's time."
