Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 677 The upcoming meeting between father and son?
In the patio area of ​​the research base, the culture chamber on the well wall is still in operation.

Although many of the incubators had been damaged before, the remaining ones still maintained the lives of the experimental subjects according to the preset instructions, and from time to time, those individuals who had completely lost their vital signs were thrown into the bottom of the well.

At the same time, on several platforms on the inner wall of the patio, a large number of mercenary infected people were walking along the stairs towards the first-level laboratory. They were about to go to provide support according to the orders they had received earlier.

suddenly.

"boom--!!"

There was an explosion that echoed throughout the research base, and a large flame suddenly rose from the inner wall in the middle of the patio!

A large number of infected mercenaries in the culture chambers and on the nearby stair platforms were affected, falling into the abyss like rubble blown up by a strong wind, and in the flames of the explosion, a huge black figure flew out!

It was a huge mutant creature, more than ten meters long. From a distance it looked like a four-legged carnivorous dinosaur, but a closer look revealed that its body was covered with crisscrossing black tentacles, with irregular bone spurs protruding from all over its body, and its head was split into three petals, filled with terrifying fangs.

However, despite its horrific shape, it seemed as if it was thrown out by some irresistible force. After passing through the flames of the explosion, it hit the pillar in the center of the patio heavily, causing the thick and solid pillar to be tilted and dented.

Fortunately, the research base of Sanlian Company was not a shoddy project, and the pillars did not break or collapse. After the black mutant fell onto the circular platform in the center, the platform, which did not seem very thick, also supported its huge body. After struggling for a few times, it stood up unsteadily.

It is easy to tell from the appearance that this black mutant creature is obviously also a product of that new type of parasite. As for its true body, needless to say, it is Excella who was abandoned by Wesker.

Of course, the black beast at this time no longer looked like Excella, it was just a completely alien monster. However, Excella seemed to still have some consciousness left, and painful groans and subconscious calls could be heard from the beast from time to time.

"Albert...why..."

"Boom——!!"

Suddenly, even more intense flames gushed out from the gap of the explosion that had originally subsided. A figure was surrounded by the flames and flew into the air. The four illusory dragon wings behind him vibrated slightly, allowing him to hover in the air.

Obviously, facing the mutated Excella, Li You did not hold back and took action himself. A similar plot had already been played out once, so there was no need to drag it out this time.

"Still thinking about your Albert?"

Li You heard the moans and calls of Excella's remaining consciousness and couldn't help but shake his head, "Has Wesker brainwashed you? You listen to him so much. Really... forget it."

It was obvious that Excella couldn't hear him, so Li You swallowed back his more offensive words and then turned around and grasped the spiral sword.

"I have to say, the new parasite Wesker created this time is really something. This thing is stronger than the original Ouroboros virus."

Li You didn't know what name Wesker had given to this black parasite, but its overall ability had clearly surpassed that of the original Ouroboros. Except for its possible lack of ability to spread, it could almost be said to be a complete replacement.

So the question is, how did Wesker come up with this superior parasite when there was a lack of virus samples and the research and development time was much shorter than the original?

Although Wesker himself had the knowledge and experience in developing viruses, and he and William Birkin participated in the development of the earliest T virus, his talent in this area was ultimately limited. Li You was the first one who did not believe that he could come up with such a thing.

This would be the same even if he had obtained the research data on Trasever's fragments.

“…This is so weird.”

Moreover, Li You also felt familiar with the mutated form of Excella after being infected by the black parasites and some of the characteristics exposed during the resistance.

Excella was quite adaptable to the black parasites. Although she was ultimately unable to tame them, her degree of integration with them was much higher than that of other infected people.

So just now, she first mutated into a small poisonous scorpion in front of a group of people. After being caught by Li You and taken out of the laboratory, she began to change her shape continuously. Finally, when she was thrown towards the skylight, she turned into a four-legged dinosaur at this time. Relying on the mutated body structure, she blocked most of the damage from the explosion and impact.

This kind of transformation ability, coupled with the conclusion drawn by Yuzu after careful investigation of the mutant giant, led Li You to a guess.

"Could it be that……"

"Roar--!!"

It only took Li You a moment to think, but the Excella mutant had already recovered - it stretched out tentacles from its body, opened the culture chambers that were still hanging on the inner wall of the patio one by one, and devoured all the experimental subjects inside, just like eating oysters.

After being replenished with flesh and blood, the Excella mutant expanded further, and its back tentacles extended to form two thick and twisted claws. In this weird posture, it roared at Li You!

Li You did not stop it from devouring the experimental subjects, as those experimental subjects had already died. Moreover, Li You also wanted to see what the Excella mutant could evolve into in order to verify his own hypothesis.

But now it seems that it will not undergo major changes in shape for the time being.

"Is the metamorphosis over?" Li You looked at the Excella mutant that had stood up again and shook his head, "Not enough... Keep going, change faster!"

As he spoke, he swung the spiral sword in his hand violently, and a flaming sword energy flew out into the air, flashing in front of the Excella mutant and cutting off half of its body!

The flame of the sword energy also wrapped around the small part of the body that was cut off, burning all the wriggling black parasitic tentacles.

The mutant body roared in pain, and even Excella's voice could be heard faintly. It no longer cared about anything else, and stretched out its tentacles, beginning to further absorb the surrounding experimental subjects.

Looking at the Excella mutant that was expanding again, Li You nodded: "That's it. Change, change quickly!"...

At the same time, in the previous laboratory.

The huge U-8 was lying in the middle, its body was badly broken, even its legs were torn off, and it was completely dead.

However, it was not killed in the battle. After Excella mutated, it was taken away directly by Li You and had no time to attack the remaining people.

U-8 died simply because Yuzu kept squeezing it without regard for consumption, causing it to consume too much energy and eventually die of physical exhaustion. After all, U-8 was originally large in size and was a battlefield weapon. The original design had not yet broken through the difficulty of endurance, and it simply could not withstand Yuzu's tossing of it as a large-scale figurine.

When Yuzu saw it fall, he didn't hesitate to remove its sharpest legs and processed them with the biomass he generated. As for what he did after the processing...

In the deeper passage connected to the laboratory, Chris and Jack were in front, and Yuzu and Edge were behind. The four of them were heading towards the exit of the facility. Blocking their way were still a large number of infected mercenaries.

Chris held the rifle, but did not fire continuously. He had brought a lot of ammunition when he set out, but the battle had almost used it up. Reality was not like in the game, where you could pick up bullets by breaking a barrel, so Chris could only reduce the number of times he fired and pick up the guns dropped by the enemies.

Even Chris was almost out of ammunition, and Jack had already used up all the bullets except for the Magnum pistol. At this moment, he was holding a strange weapon that looked like a broadsword and a spear, with irregular spikes on it, and it was extremely lethal when swung.

This is the weapon that Yuzu made using the legs of U-8. He filled the legs with his own biomass and made a handle, which he then handed to Jack.

In fact, Yuzu prepared two games, and the other one was for Chris, because before Li roamed away, he asked him and Edge to assist Chris.

As expected, Chris politely declined this strange weapon. However, Jack, still a child at heart, excitedly rushed to the front with it, which made Chris feel helpless.

But Jack was just playing around, the lethality of this thing was really incredible. With Jack's strength and energy, he could just swing this thing up and smash it down to take out a mercenary infected person, and they wouldn't even have a chance to explode.

The mercenary infected people would of course also shoot, but those holding rifles were killed remotely by Chris, including Edge, who also picked up a gun and reported the location to the two of them while occasionally firing a few shots to get a feel for it.

Their goal was not to kill directly, but to beat the infected into exploding insects. Then they would lose the ability to use weapons and rush forward quickly, and then be swept away by Jack with the insect-foot greatsword.

As for Yuzu, he was also holding another insect-legged greatsword, but he didn't do anything. He just watched Chris and Jack perform and definitely didn't compete with them for monsters.

The four of them advanced smoothly in this way with a slightly odd way of coordination.

Their goal was naturally to get through the research base and find Wesker. Just now, after Li You took the Excella mutant away, Chris cleverly went to the observation room on the second floor to search the main control computer, and then found that the exit on the other side of the experimental base was connected to a port, and a large cruise ship of the Tri-Union Company was ready to go to sea.

Even though the CEO of Excella had mutated, he was still able to sail quietly without being affected. Combined with Wesker's previous words, Chris immediately judged that Wesker himself was likely on this cruise ship, so he immediately chased after him. By this time, they were almost crossing the entire research base.

If you are in the game, there will actually be an elite monster called "Harvester" along the way. It looks like a mutated insect more than one meter tall. Players commonly call it "African cockroach" and it is somewhat difficult to deal with.

However, in this world, the Reapers did not appear, because they were the accidental product of the Ouroboros virus infecting a certain type of insect, so they have no role in the current world line.

"Drink——!"

Jack swung the "big sword" in his hand and cut off the two Baneling infected people that rushed towards him, and the group finally reached the end of the passage. Opening the door in front, outside is the bay under the afterglow of the sunset.

There is a small port built on the bay, and an old cruise ship is docked in the port, rising and falling slightly with the waves.

Jack came to the stairs outside the passage and looked around. His extraordinary vision allowed him to immediately see a blond man in a black suit, carrying a suitcase, who had just walked through the boarding bridge and onto the cruise ship.

“…He’s there!”

Seeing that figure from behind, Jack subconsciously gritted his teeth and immediately wanted to chase after him, but Chris grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute!"

Jack turned around and looked at his master, with an obvious sense of urgency and dissatisfaction on his face. Seeing his expression, Chris thought of his past self and shook his head: "Calm down, Jack! Don't let anger cloud your mind!"

"But that guy..." Jack obviously didn't listen to Chris's words at first, and wanted to refute, but Chris had already shouted:
"—Jack Mueller!"

Jack was startled: "Yes, Master!"

Chris looked at him: "I have told you many times before, and I will emphasize it again now, don't let anger affect your judgment! Don't forget, your last name is Mueller, not Wesker! Your mother is still waiting for you to come back!"

Chris's serious tone and the name of his mother finally calmed Jack down. He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then said with some shame: "...I know. Sorry, Master."

Edge was watching from the side and was a little surprised. It turned out that although Jack was usually unruly and always called Chris and the others by their first names, he would still use respectful titles at times like this.

"After all, this is your first time facing such a situation, so it's nothing, but you must remember this more in the future and control your emotions." Chris did not blame Jack. "To be honest, I am more angry than you when I see him, and I hate him more, but anger alone can't do anything."

"Now that you've calmed down, we can set off. You should be mentally prepared, right?"

Jack looked towards the cruise ship again, and the man's back had disappeared on the deck. He turned back and nodded solemnly: "That kind of thing has been prepared a long time ago."

"Okay!" Chris patted his shoulder, looked at Jack who was almost as tall as him, and nodded slightly, "Then let's go, catch Wesker and make him pay for his crimes!"
