Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 674: Sun Stairs Flower! Wesker shows up?
After the battle, the BSAA logistics team and Trasever professionals began to clean up the battlefield.

This time it is certain that there will be no more infected people, but everyone has seen the horror of this black parasite, so the BSAA has directly raised the alert level to the highest level, and must clean up all the remnants.

Therefore, now, the entire area has been completely blocked off, in the style of isolation and infection most commonly seen in movies. The professionals coming and going are wearing heavy chemical protective suits and are so busy that they don’t have even a second to rest.

At the same time, at a temporary command center a certain distance away, important personnel were gathering there.

“…Kara!”

For both parties, it was a meeting again after a year or two. Claire was no longer as calm and composed as she was in front of outsiders, and she gave Kara a hug the first time.

For Claire, Kara is a companion, friend and comrade-in-arms she met in Raccoon City. From the time when the two of them joined Trasever together, to the time when the secret department has grown to its current size, especially the six years before Li You first returned to this world, they have always worked hard together.

So no matter how Kara views their relationship, Claire regards her as one of the most trusted and closest people.

When she said goodbye to Claire, Kara's eyes were red. She was always strong and didn't show any obvious emotions when she reunited with Li You, but at this moment her voice trembled: "...I'm back."

After a long time, Claire finally let her go. The two looked at each other for a moment. Kara smiled and said, "I've already talked about this on the phone before. This is the second time. Well, we can talk about it later. Now we have something important to do, right?"

Claire also controlled her emotions. After all, from her perspective, she hadn't seen Kara for several years, so she was inevitably more excited than Kara.

At this time, in the tent of the temporary command center, besides Claire and Kara, there were old friends such as Jill, Carlos, and Tyrael. Even V had blended in very familiarly.

After greeting each other after not seeing each other for many years, Kara immediately got into work mode. She snapped her fingers, and the folder on the table next to her flew into her hands.

"Let's talk business first. I have already arranged a counterattack against Shenya Pharmaceuticals, which has previously slandered us."

Kara dispersed several documents in the folder and put them into everyone's hands: "These are the materials that will be publicly published by well-known newspapers in the United States. They are all kinds of negative news about them in the past. Although these things are really not important, they are the real evidence we have about Shenya Pharmaceutical's research and development of biological weapons. The evidence is as solid as a mountain, and it is guaranteed that ordinary people can understand it."

"I have contacted Shirley and the Shen family. After the news breaks, they will spread the news through their own channels as soon as possible. At the same time, they will also try to embellish the news and add some conspiracy theories that are difficult for ordinary people to judge the truth from the false. The mixture of truth and falsehood is guaranteed to catch them off guard.

"And now, the BSAA should come directly to our door with the real core evidence. The United States will also support us in this matter, because I have also found someone to contact the newly established Blue Umbrella, and they will not miss this opportunity to clear themselves."

Jill was a little worried when she heard what she heard before, but after Kara finished speaking, she no longer had any questions.

"Of course, I've made much more preparations than this, but I won't go into details about the details."

Kara smiled again: "Anyway, we won't have to worry about Shenya Pharmaceutical's slander soon. Next, we have to focus our main energy on dealing with Sanlian Company."

Upon hearing this name, everyone's expressions became serious. BSAA's sponsor is the World Pharmaceutical Association, and none of the large number of biotech companies that make up the association are clean. Everyone present is well aware of this.

But even though they knew it, they had no other choice. BSAA could not exist without the funds of the federation. After all, although they were nominally directly affiliated with the International Federation, even the International Federation itself needed to rely on fees paid by member countries to maintain its operations.

In the Global Pharmaceutical Federation, Tri-Union, which has absorbed most of the Umbrella legacy, is the current leader. They are actually involved in the most biochemical black market transactions. Apart from anything else, the black market trader who was just arrested, Ricardo Irwin, is a cadre of Tri-Union's West African branch.

Jill and his team had long wanted to bring down the inhumane pharmaceutical companies of the Global Pharmaceutical Federation, but they had no way to do so. But now that they had captured Erwin, perhaps they could see a glimmer of hope?

Kara did not keep the secret. Li You was very honest with her about many things, such as his ability to "predict the future" to a certain extent, so Kara also knew what Li You was planning. She explained:

"Tri-Union is indeed a behemoth, and its pharmaceutical division only accounts for one-third of its total business. Even if it closes this division, Tri-Union will still be a dead company."

"So Li You and I have the idea of ​​removing the pharmaceutical department of Sanlian Company and making arrangements to try to interfere with their internal operations. It would be great if we can control Sanlian Company to a certain extent."

Except for V, everyone was stunned when they heard this. However, everyone present had enough trust in Li You and Kara, so they didn't ask too much. Jill just said, "In that case, what should Erwin do?"

"We'll deal with them as we see fit." Kara answered decisively. "Even if we try to control Tri-Union, we must deal with the pharmaceutical division. The guilty ones will be punished. The remnants after the layoffs can be selected and absorbed by BSAA and Trasever, but we must not let those inhumane guys get away with it."

Jill and the other two breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this. This was indeed the best approach.

"That's the big strategic aspect. As for more, we'll have to see how things turn out." Kara concluded. "So what we need to do now is to turn defense into offense and find evidence against Sanlian Company."

"Shenya Pharmaceuticals is targeting us this time, and it must be supported by the Global Pharmaceutical Federation. Sanlian, the only company that has not made a statement, is the real mastermind behind the scenes. Moreover, Li You believes that Sanlian is likely to have reached a secret cooperation with Wesker, so it launched such a precise attack on us."

Jill was stunned when he heard this: "Is this really the case?"

Kara nodded: "Wesker is probably planning something, and if it is related to the biological virus, then Tri-Union must be involved."

"Next, Trasever will nominally remain non-interfering, but in reality, the BSAA will work with our secret department to conduct a thorough investigation of all major facilities of Tri-Union in the Kizuzu region of West Africa, as well as the settlements that they have had contact with in the past. We must find enough evidence to leave them speechless."

Jill and others nodded repeatedly after listening to this. No one was surprised that Kara was giving orders here. Her presence here represented the consensus of Trasefer, Li You and O'Brien, and was also the next course of action.

So Jill was the first to express her support. She subconsciously touched the gun at her waist and asked, "What are we waiting for? Let's take action!"

……

At the same time, in the ancient ruins of Nidiya, the ancient buildings in the first half of the ruins had been destroyed by the mutant giants, leaving little behind. The ruins mechanisms that were originally exquisitely designed and could be called black technology did not even have a chance to appear before being completely destroyed.

When Li You and Youzi came back here, they couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He still remembered that the puzzles in this level were a bit long and boring, and it was a pity that Chris didn't have a good experience of it.

Of course Li You also knew that now was not the time to do this, but he still felt a little regretful.

When the two came back, the first giant mutant had been dealt with. Even after shrinking, its huge body, which was still more than six meters tall, fell among the collapsed ruins and died. The black parasitic tentacles on its body still tried to struggle, but then they were hit by a burst of bullets from Chris who was carefully finishing off the monster, and it was completely turned into minced meat.

Jack sat on the open ground nearby, breathing heavily, while Edge was treating his wounds. In the previous battle, Jack was inevitably scratched by the tentacles. Although he had a special physique, this kind of black parasite was unprecedented after all, so it was better to be cautious.

Apart from anything else, Edge did find tiny parasite eggs in two wounds on Jack's body. Fortunately, this parasite was born from Plaka, and the inhibitor Louis gave him at the beginning was also effective.

After falling back to the ground, Li You put away his half-dragon transformation and asked in surprise: "You guys just solved it? I thought it would be a bit troublesome."

Jack sat casually on the ground and touched his nose with his uninjured left hand: "It's not my credit. After all, it's all thanks to your weapons."

Li You communicated with Edge through mental connection and finally understood that when Jack and Chris were fighting the mutant giant just now, although they were able to keenly seize its flaws and launch attacks, such as the exposed core during transformation, the damage caused by the weapons they carried was still too limited, and they still had no results after fighting for a long time.

In the end, it was Edge who gave Jack his usual prop, the clay pot, and asked him to seize the opportunity to throw it into the giant's wound. After repeating this several times, he finally knocked the giant down.

Thanks to the properties of the spiritual fire generated by the molten mud, even the black parasites were unable to regenerate strongly. They died completely after their core was destroyed, leaving only a few parasites on the edge.

Seeing that Jack was not satisfied with his results, Li You smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so stubborn. What Edge gave you was just a weapon with enough power. If you are well prepared beforehand and bring your own heavy firepower, the fight should be easier in the end."

What Li You said was the truth. He had already learned about the battle situation in the settlement through remote communication, including the joining of Kara and V. In fact, modern heavy firepower could also replace their roles, but they would have to be more flexible and quicker in their actions.

The same goes for Jack. Edge herself said in the mental link that she had thought she might need to take action and had prepared Granshanks' lightning, but in the end she only provided a mud melting pot, and Jack and Chris got rid of the mutant giant.

So Li You was very satisfied with this: "I have seen your performance. You have passed the test. We will discuss the details after we return. Now, let's keep moving forward!"

Li You called back Chris, and the five of them reunited and then moved deeper into the ruins.

This relic can be divided into two parts, front and back. In the game, you have to solve puzzles to pass the level. You can also see the ancient Nidea people's black technology, including but not limited to: a composite stone staircase mechanism that can still be flexibly raised and lowered to this day, a giant crystal lens that emits high-temperature rays by focusing sunlight, and a three-story lifting mechanism channel built using the same principle.

Li You even remembered that when he was young, he got stuck at the optical mechanism and failed to solve the puzzle, which resulted in him not being able to enter the next level for a long time.

Passing through the gate separating the two sections of the ruins, we arrived at the second half of the ruins, where the optical mechanism was located. The mutated indigenous infected people were still on high alert here, ready to operate the huge crystal lens on the platform in front to launch an attack.

These infected seem to have only type three Plaka in their bodies, but even so, they are much stronger than the fourth generation Plaka infected and can do things like use the ruins mechanism.

However, Li You had no intention of wasting time here. As soon as he arrived at the ruins passage, the indigenous infected person had just touched the mechanism, and Li You had already turned into a shadow and flew out!
He appeared on the platform almost in a flash, raised his hand and clenched it, then waved it, and a large amount of flames poured down, igniting all the infected people on the platform!
The infected people, along with the type 3 Plaka parasites in their bodies, fell down with a sharp hiss. Li You occupied the high platform and cooperated with Chris to clear the enemies entrenched in the ruins and cleared this area.

Now the only thing standing in the way of everyone was the mechanism of the gate. Naturally, Li You had no interest in spending time solving puzzles and collecting items. He unceremoniously and violently smashed open the gate that originally required the collection of props to unlock it and entered the ruins hall at the back.

Inside this hall is the optical mechanism that got Li You stuck back then. Li You also dismantled it violently and led his companions all the way down to a cave in the deepest part of the ruins.

From a geographical point of view, this cave is the core of the ruins and the real place where the layers of mechanisms are to protect. And if you want to talk about the value of this place...

There is still an opening at the top of the cave, and sunlight shines through the hole onto the altar below. The altar is a circular staircase, and at the top and middle of the stairs, there are strange flowers that are orange-red in color and gradually become lighter from the inside to the outside.

Under the sunlight shining through the hole at the top, the flowers seem to emit a mysterious glow.

Chris and Jack were both stunned: "Why is there a flower bed at the deepest part of the ruins?"

Li You was about to explain, but suddenly he heard a deep voice coming from the other entrance of the cave:

"That's not an ordinary flower. It's the 'Sun Staircase Flower'. The substance extracted from the flower is the origin of the Progenitor Virus."

Even Li You was startled when he heard the voice. Chris was even more stunned and immediately turned his head to look - even though he had already heard that the voice was coming from the loudspeaker.

There was a tent at the entrance of the passage, with various equipment placed inside. At this moment, the screen of one of the computers lit up automatically, and a face that Chris would never forget appeared on the screen.

The stern face, neat blond hair, and iconic sunglasses, that face undoubtedly belongs to Wesker.

"Wesker——!!"

Chris had already roared, but Wesker just looked at him through the camera, his mouth curled up, a little contemptuous, but also a meaningful smile:

"Why is it that no matter where I go, you always come to ruin my plans, my good subordinate?"
