Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 675: Underground Research Base, Excella Gioni
When the big boss who had been active in the Resident Evil series until the fifth generation appeared, the reactions of the people present varied.

Chris was obviously angry, but he controlled his impulse. Jack also had anger on his face, but it was more complicated. He looked at the face on the screen and seemed to have countless questions to ask that person.

As for Li You, he looked puzzled.

No, why are you coming out now?

It goes without saying that Wesker is definitely involved in this incident, but even according to the original game plot, he did not reveal his existence to his arch-enemy Chris during this period of time.

After all, it's easy to guess that when Chris learns of Wesker's existence, he will definitely fight him to the death. Wesker himself can't be unaware that his appearance at this time will only add a fury buff to Chris, not to mention that Li You is here.

Although he hadn't seen Wesker for several years, Li You didn't think he would forget his existence. Showing up at this time, was he getting cocky, or was he plotting something else?
If Wesker's temperament did not change drastically as in the original fifth generation plot, as if he was possessed by another spirit, then Li You felt it should be the latter.

"Wesker, what are you planning?"

Li You naturally did not say this out loud, but just stared at Wesker's face on the screen with his eyes flashing.

Wesker immediately looked at him: "Sure enough, every time there is something big, you will show up... You are really a thorn in my side, the 'Hero of Raccoon City'."

"But it doesn't matter. This time, even you can't stop it... Heh!"

Through the camera at the side, his eyes should have swept over Yuzu, Edge and Jack, but it seemed that to Wesker, they were not worthy of special attention. After a sarcastic snort, Wesker cut off the communication.

"……!?wait……"

Seeing that Wesker's eyes should have seen him, but there was no reaction at all, not even the slightest change in expression, Jack's face immediately became very ugly.

“This… bastard!!”

During the time in Trasever, Claire and the others didn't actually go out of their way to instill in Jack ideas like "your father did such and such bad things and was so bad". They just trained Jack as a newcomer worthy of looking forward to, and at most this newcomer's background was a little special.

But they didn't say anything. Jack was not the type to pretend nothing happened. He had already asked Angel for detailed information about the glorious history of Albert Wesker, and he also deeply understood why his master Chris and the others hated Wesker so much.

Now, through learning from Trasever (including cultural courses), Jack has formed a different outlook on life from the original world line. He doesn't regard Wesker as his father at all, but he still wants to question him for his mother, asking him whether he still remembers the woman named Mueller.

As a result, Wesker simply ignored him.

Even if he didn't like it, Jack knew that he and Wesker looked at least 70% similar. If he dressed up carefully, they could even be almost identical.

That's why Jack shaved his head and never wore sunglasses. But for Wesker, he should be able to see the relationship between Jack and himself at a glance.

Jack couldn't help but clench his fists.

Li You noticed his condition and was about to go up to comfort him, after all, Jack was just a boy. But before he could open his mouth, Chris on the other side patted Jack's shoulder heavily.

"Come on! Haven't you been waiting for this moment? It looks like that guy is right over here. Let's catch him together!"

Jack looked at his master, who was also the person most entangled with his biological father, and saw a lot in Chris's eyes.

"……it is good!"

Li You felt relieved when he saw this, not only for Jack, but also for Chris.

With Jack as his "personal disciple", Chris's original temper and impulsiveness seemed to have been worn away a lot. Even though Wesker might be right in front of him, he could remain calm and even pay attention to Jack's condition.

It seems that the Chris in this world is indeed developing into a hexagonal warrior with both physical and mental toughness.

The master and his disciple had already cheered up, so Li You naturally didn't say much. He looked back at the sun ladder flower and pondered for a moment.

Yuzu and Edge came to his side. Edge looked at the flower bed and said, "I can smell something special from the scent of these flowers... Is this the source of the Progenitor virus?"

Not only her, but even Yuzu was somewhat interested in these flowers: "This kind of flower may be useful to me."

"Oh?" Li You couldn't help but look at him, and Aiji also said: "I also feel that this kind of flower may be able to coexist with the core of the Night Demon's Lair. Let's take some away."

Both of them had physiques mutated by the virus, so they naturally had a say in this matter. They both said so, and Li You nodded without hesitation: "No problem."

Aiji then found some tools from the tent nearby, carefully picked a few of the best-growing sun-step flowers, dug them up and handed them to Li You.

Li You put the flowers into the system backpack, and Chris and Jack also came over. They had no doubts about Li You's behavior of taking the flowers, and just asked: "Shall we go?"

Li You smiled: "Let's go!"

……

On the tent next to the flower bed was the logo of Tri-Union, but in the corner were some old large iron boxes, engraved with what was undoubtedly the Umbrella logo of Umbrella.

Seeing this, Chris's expression became more solemn, and he became more determined to bring down Sanlian Company this time.

Then, through the passage connected to the flowerbed of the Sun Stairs, the group came to a man-made facility. This was clearly a research base, but the equipment was a little old.

Judging from the inconspicuous red and white umbrella logos in some corners, this place should have been built during the Umbrella period and was later directly inherited and requisitioned by Tri-Union Corporation.

Walking through the winding facility, the group saw a large laboratory for studying and analyzing the Sun Staircase Flower, as well as some lost research notes. Li You threw all of them into the companion space to avoid occupying the system backpack.

Behind the laboratory complex of the Sun Stairs Flower was the area where the experimental subjects were placed. There were a large number of heavy metal cages, many of which contained experimental animals of unusual size and appearance, such as giant rats and sheep. Moreover, they all looked very ferocious at this time, and they also made roars that were completely inconsistent with the impression.

That's fine, these animals are obviously the test subjects of Sanlian Company, but there are still heavy breathing sounds coming from the test area next to them. Let's not talk about Li You and his three companions. After practicing Qigong, Chris and Jack, whose senses have become more acute, also clearly caught the sound, exchanged glances with Li You, and then walked forward.

"Tap, tap."

The deliberately suppressed footsteps echoed in the corridor. The equipment of the two men meant that they could not move silently. Therefore, when they walked to a laboratory separated by opaque glass, they heard a crisp "click" sound, and a licker with a red body and an extremely thick neck broke through the glass and pounced on Chris!

But Chris reacted very quickly. He quickly stepped sideways to avoid the sharp claws of the Licker, then swung his arms and threw out a powerful uppercut!

"boom!!"

A crisp impact sound was heard, and Chris's punch accurately hit the big heart protruding from the Licker's chest, knocking its thick body away, and the strong energy wrapped in his fist also crushed the heart!

Blood spurted out of the Licker's chest and mouth. He flew up and down helplessly like a leaf, but was actually sent packing by Chris with a single punch.

"boom!"

Chris just shook off the blood on his fist when he heard a familiar sound from the other side. Turning around, he saw Jack, not far behind, using almost the same posture as Chris, punching and killing another Licker.

The master and disciple looked at each other, and then nodded to each other tacitly.

Li You, who followed behind, was very happy to see this.

The biochemical protagonists are almost all supermen, and with the energy cultivation method that really comes from outside this world, each of them should be comparable to a small tyrant now.

Let's not talk about anything else. Even if the Tyrant was asked to deal with the two Lickers just now, he would only be able to beat them like this with one punch. He might not be as quick and decisive as Chris and the other two.

After all, although those two Lickers made Li You feel nostalgic when he saw them, they were not regular Lickers, but biological weapons that were transformed and strengthened by the Tri-Union Company using the Progenitor Virus, the Licker β, which were much stronger than the ordinary version.

Chris and Jack didn't seem to notice anything. After confirming that there were no other lickers active here, they continued searching for a way to go deeper.

Although there are more β-lickers here, the few that were hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to attack were directly solved by the little dragon transformed by Li You's Undead Slash. Although they are old friends, there is no need to waste time with them here.

So, the group successfully found the elevator and descended to the core area of ​​the research base.

Walking out of the passage connected to the elevator, the view suddenly opened up. What appeared in front of the group was a space that looked like a huge atrium, with a metal bridge connecting the circular platform in the middle, and the walls of the atrium were filled with neatly arranged culture chambers.

The densely packed incubators were all emitting soft orange light, and one could faintly see human figures inside. When the group stepped onto the iron bridge, the light in one of the incubators began to flash, and an alarm sounded at the same time.

The main control computer then controlled the incubator to extend forward, the hatch opened, and the completely dehydrated, mummy-like experimental subject was thrown to the bottom of the bottomless well.

Chris and Jack were both furious when they saw this. Jack punched the railing next to him, denting it: "What the hell did these guys do!"

Chris's face was gloomy as well. "With so many test subjects, the locals definitely can't satisfy them. They must have kidnapped people from all over the world to be test subjects... these damn beasts!"

Li You did not speak, but stood behind Aiji, replenishing her magic power. Aiji was now fully aware of all the cultivation chambers within reach, and the magic power provided by Li You allowed her to not worry about consumption.

However, after a quick scan, Edge withdrew his perception, shook his head at Li You with a stern face.

At least within her perception range, these experimental subjects were beyond saving.

Li You sighed softly. He had let Edge try with the mentality of saving him if he could, but it seemed that it didn't work in the end.

"But besides them, I also found two large life reactions..."

Before Aggie could finish his words, the screen of the main control computer on the central platform of the patio suddenly flashed, and then the familiar communication interface appeared in front of everyone.

However, this time it was not Wesker's face that appeared, but a tall, proud young woman with dark skin, wearing revealing and bold clothes.

She looked at Li You and his group with an ambiguous but more disdainful smile on her face, and said in a tone with a distinct accent: "Mr. Chris Redfield, Mr. Li You, I am honored to finally meet two heroes."

Although she spoke social etiquette, there was no trace of respect in her eyes, only indifference.

Neither Chris nor Jack knew this exposed woman, but Li You certainly knew her identity: "Excella Gioni, a direct descendant of the Russell family, climbed to the position of president of the West African branch of Tri-Union Company at the age of 20, a young and promising talented woman..."

He listed a long list of Excella's titles, causing her confident smile to freeze for a moment. Then Li You smiled and said, "It is indeed rare to meet a lady like you who has great power and beautiful looks."

"...Heh, you know me very well." Excella paused before coming back to her senses. She looked at Li You and smiled somewhat ambiguously, "Could it be that you have been paying attention to me for a long time? That's a pity. If I had known earlier, maybe I would have invited you to dinner in a more romantic setting."

Chris was originally furious, and at this moment he subconsciously glanced at Li You, but Li You remained calm and said with a smile: "Thank you so much for your kindness, but I already have someone in my heart, so I can only decline."

"However, I do have another proposal. Why don't you come with us to the BSAA headquarters? I promise to give you the treatment you deserve."

Excella smiled again. "Does the treatment I deserve mean handcuffing me and locking me up? I'm sorry, but I have no intention of playing this game with you. You are all unwelcome guests, but since you are here, please feel our hospitality."

As he spoke, Excella on the other side of the screen snapped his fingers, and as if receiving a signal, there was a sudden violent vibration and piercing roar from below the patio. Then, two giant beasts of gigantic size, which looked like the fusion and mutation of spiders, crabs and other crustaceans, climbed up from below along the patio!

The two mutant creatures climbed up one on the left and one on the right, broke the iron bridge connecting the entrance and exit, cut off their retreat, and surrounded the group on the central platform.

The advanced BOW developed by Tri-Union, the U-8.

Excella smiled and looked at the people who were at the end of their rope: "Let them entertain you. I will watch your final entertainment carefully."
