Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 664: Mr. Li is here, we are saved!

BSAA West African Division.

The West Africa Branch is one of the eight branches of BSAA around the world. In recent years, the development speed of BSAA has been unprecedentedly high, and the West Africa Branch has also grown rapidly.

Because Africa is a vast and relatively primitive land, it is also very common for pharmaceutical companies that take no responsibility for human life to conduct secret human experiments here, so the work of this branch is actually quite busy. Although many members here have not been in the group for long, they have already gained a lot of combat experience.

At this time, in the operations hall of the West African branch base, a group of people with different postures were discussing something somewhat intensely.

"…Have you heard the latest report?"

"It's about that village, I've seen it. The whole village was infected, it was really terrible."

"I heard that the outbreak over there was in Plaka? The problem of the new virus hasn't been solved yet, this is really... one wave after another!"

It didn't look like a formal meeting, but just members of the West African branch discussing the recent situation. From their conversation, it was not difficult to hear that in addition to the newly discovered mysterious virus, a village in West Africa had also found a source of infection, the Plaka parasite.

"If the virus continues to spread at this rate, I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower to control the situation." A homely man said worriedly.

Everyone was discussing how to deal with the situation next, but at this moment a less harmonious voice was heard.

"What's the point of just blocking it? I think we have to solve the problem from the source!"

The discussion among the crowd suddenly stopped and they all turned to look at him.

This came from a young white man wearing a black cap, sitting at the table in a somewhat unruly manner. He crossed his arms, and when he saw that everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on him, he was a little bit stuck.

But then he stiffened his neck and said, "What are you looking at me for? Am I wrong?"

A young girl with a dark complexion, a strong and sturdy figure and a good appearance said with a gloomy face: "Dave, what do you mean? You might as well explain it more clearly."

"You know what I mean, Sheva!" said the young man named Dave dissatisfiedly, "Now the whole world knows where the virus in West Africa came from! Isn't it just..."

"Watch what you say, Dave!" Sheva interrupted immediately and rudely, "Do you really believe the slander of Shenya Pharmaceuticals? Don't you know that they are a member of the Global Pharmaceutical Federation and what they have done in the past?"

"Of course I know!" Dave said dissatisfiedly, "But the problem is, look at what broke out this time? Plaka parasites! It's okay for others, but don't we know that it was Trasever who was responsible for ending the Plaka incident in Europe? Apart from them, who else can come up with a large-scale Plaka?"

This sentence silenced the others for a moment, and even Sheva didn't know how to refute it. At the same time, this was actually the first time that Trasever's name appeared directly in everyone's discussion.

Only one other voice came from the other end of the hall: "Although the Plaka parasite is rare, it is possible that the forces that intervened in the incident at the beginning can obtain it. It is not unique to Trasever."

“Trasever is BSAA’s closest partner. The two sides work closely together and support each other. The vaccines and serums from Trasever’s medical department have saved the lives of countless BSAA soldiers.

"Dave Johnson, you were bitten during your first mission. The serum that saved you and prevented you from becoming a zombie was provided by Trasever. The medical staff who treated you at the time were also from Trasever. Do you think they would have to go through so much trouble to develop biological weapons?"

Dave was choked for a moment, not only because he didn't know how to respond, but also because the spokesman was Dan Decanter, the most senior veteran of the West African branch and a leading figure who had been fighting on the front line of anti-biological warfare for many years.

He was actually there the whole time, but he just didn't join in the childish noises that were going on. It was only at this moment that he finally spoke.

He stood up, walked to the middle of the crowd, and looked at Dave: "You have only joined the West African branch for a short time, and you don't know a lot of inside information, so I won't punish you this time, but there won't be a next time."

As he spoke, he raised his voice and said to everyone, "Trasever and BSAA have close cooperation in the most in-depth areas. Saying that Trasever interfered in biological and chemical weapons research is equivalent to saying that we BSAA also did it!"

"So I don't need to tell you, if you ever hear me say something like this again, I'll deal with it according to the rules!"

Everyone was startled, including Dave, and they all responded, "Understood!"

"Okay, now that we understand, let's go." Dan Decant waved his hand. "What's the point of gathering here? The ace team from BSAA Europe and Trasever's research team are coming here today. If they see us, they'll think our West African branch has nothing to do all day!"

"——Not really. The West African branch has made outstanding achievements and has been very busy recently. I have seen everyone's efforts."

At this moment, an older but still steady and powerful voice came from the entrance of the combat hall, attracting everyone's attention.

Everyone was startled and turned to look, only to see a whole team of people standing at the gate.

A middle-aged man with neatly combed hair stood in the front. On his left and right were a man in his thirties with a buzz cut, tall and strong, with arms almost as thick as an average man's thighs, and a woman who looked no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a neat figure and appearance.

The man who spoke just now was the leader.

There is no doubt that these three people are BSAA Commander O'Brien and the two trump cards of the European headquarters, Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine.

Even if some people didn't know them, there was a black man in combat uniform accompanying them and leading the way. He was Josh Stone, the recruit instructor of the West Africa branch, and everyone knew him.

Everyone froze for a moment.

But it’s not over yet. Right after that, a larger group of people walked into the combat hall.

The person leading the way this time was another respected veteran member of the West African branch, intelligence specialist Leonard Fisher. Although the group of people he brought in also had different looks, they all exuded a professional atmosphere in their gestures, especially the words "Trasever" marked on the arm bandages, which clearly explained their identities.

The commander and ace fighter of BSAA arrived together with the Trasever research team.

Many people in the West African branch had never seen such a grand scene before, and they didn't know what to say for a moment. It was Dan Decant who stepped forward to greet this group of heavyweights.

Dan DeKant also guessed that O'Brien and the others must have heard at least part of the conversation, so he explained it to them. However, O'Brien just waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to say more, and led the others to the command room at the deepest part of the war hall. The people who originally thought that something was wrong were now a little confused.

However, among that group of people, there was a woman wearing a red jacket and a ponytail who stayed behind and looked at everyone present.

She especially glanced at Dave and Sheva, and then, as they looked at her nervously, she said sincerely, "The outbreak and spread of the virus this time was definitely not caused by Trasever, and we have never thought about researching biochemical weapons."

"In the days ahead, we will fight alongside you and prove this to you. Please believe us."

After she finished speaking, she nodded solemnly to everyone before turning around and following the main group.

Everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, especially the young man Dave Johnson. He didn't react for a moment and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "She is...?"

"That is Ms. Claire Redfield, one of the core members of Trasever and the main person in charge." DeKant said, "Of course, I don't need to tell you about her other identity."

Dave continued to be dumbfounded, while Sheva's eyes lit up: "I know, she is one of the backbones of Trasever, and she is also the ace of BSAA, Mr. Chris's sister!"

"The ones following Commander O'Brien are Mr. Chris and Ms. Jill, right? I've heard a lot about them! If they're here, does that mean we can fight alongside them this time?"

DeKant smiled and said, "With your ability, you will have a chance. Well, I have to report in, so you all should behave yourself."

Everyone did not dare to hesitate: "Yes!"

——At the same time, in the command room.

After the BSAA and Trasever entered here, they immediately began to set up. In Trasever's team, Louis and Rebecca were both there. They came here to study the new virus, so they didn't delay at all and followed the others to the laboratory area.

O'Brien had already sat down in the main seat without any hesitation, and Chris, Jill and Claire also took their seats. The main leaders of the West African branch, Decanter, Josh and Leonard were also present.

"Everyone, I will not waste any more time." O'Brien was decisive and went straight to the point. "This incident cannot be underestimated. The public opinion situation is worrying, but the most important thing is that the Plaka parasite has broken out again. This source of infection must be controlled, and not even a little bit of it can be allowed to be left outside."

Everyone in the West African branch nodded. They had all received professional training from the BSAA and naturally knew how terrible the Plaka parasite was.

"I'm here to make my position clear, but the headquarters is busy, so I have to go back soon." O'Brien continued, "For the West African branch, we will continue to follow the original model. The headquarters will not interfere. There are only two points to note."

Everyone in the branch paid close attention, and then they heard O'Brien say succinctly, "First, fully support the work of the Trasever research team. They are the key to controlling the new virus and Plaka infection. There can be no constraints during this period."

"Second, Chris and Jill will stay here to assist the West Africa branch. I will give them a high degree of autonomy and let them decide for themselves how to act. As long as they have any needs that do not involve a level 2 confidentiality level or above, the West Africa branch must do its best to cooperate."

Everyone at the branch was a little surprised. After all, they could understand Chris and Jill, but it was not common for O'Brien to give such a level of trust to the people of Trasefer.

But O'Brien obviously did not intend to explain his reasons. After explaining some related matters and important arrangements, he ended the short meeting and asked everyone from the West African branch to leave the command room.

It seemed like the guest had taken over the host's position, but as the commander-in-chief of the BSAA, O'Brien had the authority to do so.

After everyone in the branch left, O'Brien looked at Claire and said, "Although I have asked this several times, I have to repeat it again. Can the results of the research on the new virus be produced within three days at the earliest?"

Claire said: "I can't be sure about this, but if the source of this virus is the same as we expected, then we should be able to get the results as quickly as possible."

O'Brien frowned slightly: "...In other words, it was indeed the virus that was stolen from your laboratory."

"That's not quite accurate..." Claire didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"Let me tell you." Louis walked in from the other side. "Based on the test results of the small number of samples you sent earlier, we have made a preliminary analysis and concluded that this new virus is likely to be a copy of our research data by a large company combined with their own existing viruses. As for the Plaka this time, I can assert that it has nothing to do with us."

O'Brien didn't care about the specific origins of the virus and Plaka. After all, he knew very well that these events could not be the work of Trasever, so he was more concerned about the results.

"So, as long as we have enough samples, right..."

Louis nodded directly and said without hesitation: "As long as there are enough samples, I can come up with the results within 24 hours! As for Plaka, although it is suspected to be a new species, I can complete the analysis in half a day at most!"

"Okay!" O'Brien said without hesitation, "Let's do it! The West African branch will fully cooperate with you!"

Louis did not delay and went straight to the temporary laboratory after the conversation. He and Rebecca immediately started working. Although the conditions were a bit crude, based on their own understanding of the virus, some difficulties were not insurmountable.

After confirming again, O'Brien breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair weakly. Jill said at this time: "Don't be too tired. This matter cannot be solved by you working a few more hours alone."

O'Brien smiled bitterly, "I don't want to either, but you all know the recent situation of BSAA. The 'financial backers' behind the scenes have begun to exert influence on us."

Jill was silent, and Chris frowned. The biggest funder behind BSAA was the Global Pharmaceutical Federation. When Shenya Pharmaceutical exposed Trasever's "dirty information", they also put pressure on BSAA behind the scenes, as if they wanted to solve the problem all at once.

O'Brien continued, "In fact, Li You had already reminded me to pay special attention to West Africa, so I allocated funds to the West African branch. If it weren't for the intervention of the Global Manufacturing Federation, these incidents could have been avoided..."

Claire didn't say anything, after all, she couldn't get a word in. But when she heard Li You's name, she couldn't help but sigh.

When will Li You be able to come back?
Just then, the cell phone on her waist rang.

Claire was startled, and looked over. It turned out to be from the secret department headquarters. At this time, others also looked at her. With a somewhat uneasy mood, Claire answered the phone. After listening to only two sentences, an undisguised joy appeared on her face.

"Li You and Kara...are they back?"
