Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 636: At the Roots of the Sacred Tree, Millicent's Four Sisters

Abrefil, the "branch of the sacred tree", is both the foundation and the center of the city.

Compared to the Holy Tree Town on the treetops, the walls of Abrefil towered majestically. Here, the holy tree was no longer the foundation of the town, but an embellishment, and the buildings that continued to extend forward were the main body of Abrefil City.

Likewise, in Abrefil, there is no corruption spreading everywhere, no wandering hybrids, no zombies, and certainly no Miranda flowers or giant ants.

The soldiers were patrolling and standing guard, while the key positions were guarded by the Zunfu Knights and the Holy Tree Knights, making the whole place look like they were on high alert.

The Holy Tree is actually isolated overseas, and has only limited connection with the continent at the border. The route is inaccessible to ordinary people, the guards are strict and elite, and even the scarlet corruption can be regarded as a natural barrier. As a base, this place is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Then the Blood King somehow ran to the deepest part and dug out Michaela from the sacred tree.

Li You: 6.

Of course, it is now clear that the Blood King was able to kidnap Michaela so easily thanks to Michaela's own help...

I don’t know what Marenia is thinking.

Unlike others, Li You was still very concerned about Marenia's thoughts, after all, it was related to his plan. But now, he really didn't have time to care about those things, because the difficulty of crossing Abrefil was much higher than he had expected.

The guarding force here is already too sufficient. Even in the game, there are a large number of enemies. But here, they simply attack any outsiders in an organized and disciplined manner. It is hard to imagine that their master has actually left long ago.

Li You, who was transformed from a teardrop, stood at the forefront, holding up the Aegis Shield, blocking the crossbows and explosive pots shot by the Holy Tree soldiers. The elite soldiers holding straight swords and spears rushed to the front, constantly trying to attack and break through Li You's defense. Some soldiers even radiated a light golden light, roared and rushed up, and then the whole person exploded!

"boom--!!"

Even the Aegis Shield supported by the teardrops could not withstand such a dense and crazy attack for too long. Fortunately, the overall building of Abrefil is relatively narrow, and the widest part of the road can only accommodate a few people in parallel, so Li You will only face a few enemies at the same time.

Behind the replica teardrop, Millicent held the knife and swung it out when the enemy attacked. Every time she swung, she would take out an enemy at an extremely fast speed.

Behind them were Li You, Aigi, and Tolina who was protected in the center. Apart from them, the rest were not here.

Li You held his hand cannon X and would occasionally fire a shot to deal with the soldiers who rushed up to An Hu Akbar. He would not take action at other times. Edge was concentrating on sensing everything around him.

The walls of Ambrefield were of different heights. Above the group of people, there were many soldiers holding crossbows and explosive pots, shooting and throwing them downwards, but these attacks were still blocked by the magic barrier.

At the same time, a huge figure was flying back and forth on the upper level, clearing out these long-range soldiers.

"Roar--!!"

A giant beast with lizard features and several meters long climbed up along one side of the wall pillar and rushed to the small platform at the top in a blink of an eye. With a wave of his claws, he knocked the two crossbowmen on the platform away!

Then, two figures popped their heads out from the back of the giant beast, one of them holding a staff and the other holding a precision rifle, aiming at the enemies on the upper layer of the other side of the city wall and began to bombard them repeatedly.

“Bang bang bang——!!”

Naturally, this was a combination of Yuzu, V, and Kara. Yuzu transformed into the long-unseen second-stage lizard form, flexibly jumping between the walls, while Kara and V each looked for the enemy. V targeted the ordinary soldiers, while Kara targeted the elite soldiers.

But they didn't divide it up that finely, they just acted on the spot, and it also depended on what Edge found out.

For example, at this moment, Edge below noticed a hidden source of abundant magic power on the upper level, so he immediately marked his location and shared it with everyone.

Without any need for verbal or eye contact, Yuzu leaped across a space of more than ten meters and landed heavily on the top of the city wall. He stretched out his tentacles and rolled towards the enemies at his feet, while Kara continued to throw out pyroxene swift demon gravel to attack those soldiers.

V looked at the marked point which was even higher, and the rifle in his hand quickly changed into two mantis blades. He jumped up, hung on the wall, and climbed up quickly with the help of the blades on his arms!
When V finally leaped onto the top of the city wall pillar, the Holy Tree Knight hiding there looked at her with astonishment in his eyes, and immediately wanted to touch his spear and shield.

But it was too late, a magic circle appeared behind V, and he pushed forward with the momentum. The whole person accelerated instantly, and the two mantis knives pierced through the chest of the Holy Tree Knight!

There were other crossbowmen and grenadiers on the top, and they just reacted and wanted to focus their fire on V. But a tentacle suddenly rolled up from below, wrapped around V's waist, and pulled her back.

Then, Yuzu's huge body rushed out, and Kara on his back waved the staff at the same time, throwing out a huge ball of magic bombs!

High Mo shells!

"boom--!!"

After the explosion, the platform here was cleared, and the tentacles from Yuzu's waist flew out, like arms and limbs that could be stretched freely, helping him change direction and continue to pounce on the enemy.

With the powerful attack from Youzi and the others, the originally dense long-range firepower quickly weakened, and Li You only needed to focus on the enemies that rushed in front of him.

So seeing this, Li You himself turned the spiral sword into a longbow, pulled out a large arrow with a faint purple glow from the system backpack, and shot it out!
A large arrow flew past, and the purple light wrapped around it was gravity magic. As it passed between the soldiers, the sudden burst of gravity attracted them all together.

The soldiers were huddled together in chaos, and then they saw the replica teardrop raising the sword in its hand and slashing down, and the crawling lava flames rushed over quickly and completely engulfed them.

Tolina watched from behind and couldn't help but sigh: "These soldiers didn't have to die in vain." "There's nothing I can do about it. I can't tell which of them are enchanted and which are Michaela's diehards. It's impossible to test every one of them. I can only cut the Gordian knot."

Li You paid attention to their location and soon discovered something: "We're here."

The Valkyrie Marlennia is sleeping at the roots of the sacred tree, which is basically right below everyone. As long as you find the elevator leading there, you can save a long distance that is required in the game.

Because the structure and area of ​​Abrefil were much larger than in the game, Li You was unable to confirm the location of the elevator at the first time. Fortunately, with Tolina and Aggie's expertise, they were able to lock onto the target in the shortest possible time.

Li You immediately used the mental link to convey the location to everyone. So Yuzu carried Kara and V and approached quickly, while Li You and the replica teardrop each took the people beside them and flew directly over.

Deeper in Abrefil, more soldiers and even knights kept coming, and there was even a clone of the golden tree in the team. However, everyone on Li You's side had already met at the shortcut elevator. Li You and the replica teardrop led the others to fly down, and Yuzu jumped down directly!
Kara and V on his back felt the whistling wind passing by. Even though they knew they would be fine, their hearts couldn't help but rise.

"Boom——!!"

With a loud bang, Yuzu's body hit the bottom of the elevator shaft. Not only did he land smoothly, he also smashed the elevator into pieces. Now the pursuers above would definitely not be able to follow him.

Then, Li You and the Fake Teardrop slowly flew down with Millicent and the other two.

Kara and V jumped off Yuzu's back and looked at each other: "This experience... is really exciting!"

"Yeah, how about another try?"

Li Yule said: "Then when we get back, you two can go to the amusement park and experience it again and again. Now let's get down to business."

The two were naturally joking. After falling from such a high place, Youzi's body was only slightly stiff. After moving a few times, he was able to move freely and growled at Li You.

Li You patted his paws: "Well done!"

On the other side, Millicent was looking at the furnishings in the elevator room, but a blooming scarlet flower at the bottom of the stairs immediately caught her attention.

It was a huge, brilliant flower, with its long, slender petals spreading out, occupying half of the room, and exuding a strange scent. In this room, a large number of Ionian butterflies could be seen flying around the flower.

"This is……"

Millicent seemed to be attracted and walked towards the big flower involuntarily, and even wanted to reach out and touch it.

However, she came to her senses immediately, without anyone's reminder, she withdrew her hand, and looked at Li You and Tolina.

"...Just as you thought, that flower was transformed from a being similar to you, and was a sacrifice sent by those corrupt followers." Tolina said softly, "If it weren't for Li You and the others' intervention, you might have taken this path... Everything is to make Marlenia the goddess of corruption."

After hearing this, Millicent fell into a long silence. After a long while, she said, "This kind of thing..."

At this moment, suddenly a swirling golden halo and a large strand of white silk rushed out from the corner and headed straight for Millicent!

Millicent: “!?”

She subconsciously dodged the attack, but then two figures, as if they had predicted it, brandished spears and double swords, and attacked her from behind!
"boom--!!"

The three weapons hit an invisible barrier and bounced off. Li You took action himself and released the Aegis Shield to protect Millicent. The attack was blocked and two sneak attackers appeared.

On the other side, Kara waved her staff, and a gravity field appeared in the corner of the room, pulling out the other two people under the stairs.

Everyone looked at the four people, and saw that their clothes and appearance were very similar to Millicent. They each held a sickle, a spear, two swords and a dagger as weapons, and each of them had a very strong aura.

"Mary, the oldest sister, Jasmine, Amy, the youngest sister, Pollyanna." Li You looked at them and called out everyone's name with a smile, "I think I remembered the names correctly? You came just in time. I was worried that I would miss you."

"Now that you're here, don't leave."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and a dazzling flame began to burn on the spiral sword.

The four sisters were also extremely vigilant, but they also knew that there was no way to escape, because the moment they were pulled out, the people on Li You's side had already blocked the two exits of the room, cutting off their retreat.

The four sisters obviously did not intend to give up, but to fight to the death. But at the same time, they also knew that after the failure of the sneak attack just now, they had no chance.

But at this moment, Millicent suddenly spoke: "...Wait, Li You."

She turned around and said seriously: "They are indeed my sisters. And I have a feeling that they... are also the part of me that I have lost."

Li You was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "So you are planning to...?"

Millicent nodded: "Let me face them. This should be my mission."
