Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 684 The next destination, Beautiful Country
At the front deck of the cruise ship, Jack stood alone, leaning on the railing and feeling the sea breeze.

In the silent night, he seemed to have merged into the quiet sea.

Until footsteps came from behind, Chris came to his side: "How are you?"

Jack didn't look back, but just said, "I don't know. I feel... very strange. I don't feel the joy of revenge, nor the sadness of losing a blood relative. I feel nothing."

Chris also leaned his hands on the railing: "Although Wesker is your biological father, you have never met him before, and your mother has long since let go of him. He treats you like a stranger... um... okay, sorry, that's not what I meant. You know I'm not very good at talking..."

Jack looked at him, with a faint smile on his face: "I know, Master, you always fail in conversations with others, everyone knows it...but thank you anyway."

Chris was a little embarrassed after hearing the first half of the sentence, but when Jack finished speaking, he paused and then laughed: "...You kid!"

The two looked at each other and felt relieved. Jack said, "Don't worry, Master. I'm fine. I'll be fine after a rest. If I have to say, my feeling is that it was too quick for that guy to die! I haven't even given him a good beating yet!"

Seeing him like this, Chris patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good boy!"

——Soon after, the BSAA fleet followed the location and quickly surrounded the cruise ship. After handing over the mission to Chris, Jill and others, a group of operators took over the remaining work here. As for Li You and his group, they took a helicopter and flew away from the sea area.

……

The next day, everyone gathered in the BSAA West Africa branch's operations command room.

“You guys did a great job!”

In the main seat, O'Brien, who had come again from the European headquarters, read the detailed report compiled by Gill. Even though he was a bit old, he couldn't help but applaud excitedly.

"We have stopped Wesker's plot, seized the evidence of Tri-Union's crimes, and even obtained the detailed black market transaction records. This way, we can not only completely overturn the slander against us by the Global Pharmaceutical Federation, but also turn the tables and make Tri-Union pay for its crimes!"

In the command room, in addition to Chris and Jill, BSAA fighters, Li You, Kara, Claire, Louis and others from Trasever were also present. Obviously, this meeting was not just about a simple mission report.

O'Brien put down the report in his hand, raised his head again, and the first person he looked at was Kara: "...Speaking of which, we also saw the news two days ago. I didn't expect that Shenya Pharmaceuticals would also intervene in the research of biochemical viruses and BOW. It's really shocking. Fortunately, thanks to the anonymous people's reports, their evidence of guilt has been made public. Now, BSAA has passed the decision to conduct a public investigation on them and has also obtained the permission of the International Union. Now, coupled with the problem of Tri-Union Company, it seems that my old bones will be busy for a long time in the future!"

Kara just smiled at O'Brien's words and said, "That's true. Shenya Pharmaceuticals slandered Trasever, saying that we were secretly developing biological weapons, but I didn't expect that they were the ones who were actually doing this illegal activity. It's really shocking."

The two looked at each other, and a lot of information seemed to be exchanged through their eye contact. Finally, they nodded tacitly.

Kara and O'Brien had never met before. Kara left the biochemical world early, when BSAA had not yet developed well, and she was always responsible for those inconspicuous tasks in Trasever, so she had never met O'Brien, but the two had heard of each other's name and knew what role each other played in the anti-biochemical field.

And this time when they finally met officially, both of them felt that the other was worthy of the reputation.

O'Brien then said, "In short, no matter who this enthusiastic citizen is, he has helped us a lot. Those revelations have effectively undermined the credibility of Shenya Pharmaceuticals and the Global Pharmaceutical Federation. And this time we have obtained evidence of Sanlian's guilt. We can jointly launch an investigation into these two companies and even the entire Global Pharmaceutical Federation!"

At this point, O'Brien's face flushed with excitement: "In this way, perhaps BSAA can really take this opportunity to get rid of the constraints of the Global Pharmaceutical Federation!"

Chris, Jill, and Claire were also excited after hearing this, but Li You and Kara looked at each other and saw what the other meant. Then Li You said, "It's certainly a good thing to have so much evidence, but O'Brien, I think it's better not to rush into a large-scale investigation of the entire Global Pharmaceutical Federation at this stage."

Chris and the others were all stunned. After O'Brien's excitement faded, he immediately realized the problem: "...That's right, the Global Pharmaceutical Federation itself is just a loose alliance, and there are open and covert struggles among them. If we only investigate Shenya Pharmaceuticals or Sanlian Company, the remaining companies will only choose to protect themselves. But if the entire federation is dragged into the water, then they will really form a close front."

After realizing this, O'Brien sighed, "I was too excited. After all, the Global Pharmaceutical Federation is the most influential pharmaceutical company alliance in the world, and it is also the financial sponsor behind the BSAA. Even the personnel composition of the BSAA is inextricably linked to them. We can't push them all to the opposite side at once. Not to mention that the international alliance will definitely not pass it, even if they pass it, the BSAA will not be able to mobilize enough manpower and resources to complete the investigation of them... After all, we can only stop at the point."

Chris and the others understood as well, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed, especially the senior members of BSAA, who had long hoped to get rid of the constraints of the Global Pharmaceutical Association.

Li You wanted to say a few more words, but O'Brien had already cheered up and said to Chris and the others, "Don't lose heart! Even if we can only defeat Shenya Pharmaceutical and Sanlian this time, it will be a great harvest. Shenya Pharmaceutical is the leader of the oriental pharmaceutical industry, and Sanlian is the leader of the entire federation! Getting rid of them is not only a heavy blow to the Global Pharmaceutical Federation, but also a warning to the remaining members. In the future, even if these companies are still unwilling to give up, they will definitely behave themselves and dare not act as presumptuously as in the past! This is a glorious victory for the anti-biochemical cause!"

O'Brien is worthy of being the commander-in-chief who led BSAA to become stronger. His brief speech revived the spirits of several people who seemed a little disappointed. They nodded one after another, except Li You who curled his lips slightly.

You've finished speaking, what should I say?
- Of course, this is just a joke. Li You is more and more confident about O'Brien's ability. With him in power, he will surely be able to curb the corruption of BSAA in the original game to a considerable extent.

But it's not enough. O'Brien is getting old after all, and now that BSAA is growing stronger, it's obviously impossible for him to manage it alone. Even if he has already formed his own team, it's still not enough. The West African incident broke out this time, because of the double DEBUFF of heavy workload and interference from the Federation, O'Brien failed to control the situation as Li You asked him to do before he left last time. However, at this point, Li You didn't have a good candidate to help O'Brien manage and control BSAA... Maybe sending a few Trasever operators over would work?
"…We still need to think long-term."

To be O'Brien's assistant, this person must meet the requirements in terms of both ability and credibility. Such a person is not easy to find, so we can only take our time.

O'Brien had already put the topic aside for the time being and moved on to the next item on his to-do list: "Then let's take a look at this new species of parasite."

This was the occasion for the researchers. Louis and Rebecca stood up, one began to prepare the projection materials, and the other simply took out a small sealed cylindrical container, in which was floating a new type of black parasite.

Louis began to explain to everyone: "Well, as you can see, this new type of parasite, which is a mutation of Plaka, is the source of this infection. Based on the research results and common opinions, we decided to name this parasite 'Black Light' Type 0."

O'Brien was puzzled: "Black light?"

"Well, it is said that it is a terrifying virus with nearly unlimited adaptability and evolutionary potential. This parasite certainly hasn't reached that level yet, but it has also shown terrifying potential, so we decided to name it that."

Needless to say, this was of course Li You's idea. After all, he felt that the new type of Plaka was really similar to the Blacklight virus - although he had never actually played Prototype and was only a casual player.

Louis and Rebecca explained the abilities of the blacklight parasite in detail to everyone, which included both their own research results and the information Li You told them, and finally compiled them into this complete report.

After listening to it, even people like Chris and Claire, who had fought against this kind of parasite head-on, had a new understanding of its power, not to mention O'Brien, who was not there in person. He frowned as he listened, and after Louis and the others finished, he remained silent for a long time, and finally said: "... There are actually such terrifying parasites? This..."

Li You spoke at this time: "This parasite is indeed terrifying. It does have the ability to destroy the human ecosystem. What's more troublesome is that although we stopped Wesker's conspiracy, we also found traces left by another force in the disguised cruise ship laboratory."

"'Family'?" O'Brien murmured. He also saw this message in the report. Given O'Brien's status and his relationship with Li You, Chris and others, he was of course aware of the Simmons family's affairs. Because of this, he became more solemn.

"If the family intervenes, things will become even more complicated. At present, the relationship between BSAA and Blue Umbrella has not been sorted out, and we have never been on good terms with the US government. If the family, which is actually the deep government, controls such a terrifying parasite and plans to plot something, we may not even be able to stop it in advance..."

What O'Brien said was indeed true. Even though the BSAA had grown rapidly under his leadership and had become even stronger than in the original world line, some things could not be changed after all.

For example, although BSAA is a direct subsidiary of the International Federation, only some member countries allow them to carry out large-scale activities within their own territories, and the five major countries, no matter from what perspective, will definitely not give BSAA too much freedom. Among them, there is no doubt that the restrictions imposed by the United States are the most severe.

The family hides behind the American political arena and secretly controls many policies of the government. If they want to cause trouble, the BSAA can't intervene at all. The most they can do is clean up the mess afterwards, just like the G virus incident caused by Curtis Miller in the original world line.

"The family is indeed worthy of fear. The damage they can cause is far greater than that of the Global Pharmaceutical Federation in many ways." Li You said again, "I was originally thinking about how to deal with them, but I didn't have a mature plan... But now there is no time to delay."

Everyone looked at him at this time, and Li You said: "I will go to the United States to find Leon and investigate the family's situation. BSAA should not intervene for the time being and concentrate on dealing with the Global Pharmaceutical Federation. They are a behemoth and should not be underestimated. Sanlian Company may be desperate or try to sneak around. We must not fall into their trap. We must completely defeat them and disband their pharmaceutical department. After that, it would be great if we can control some of Sanlian Company's resources... BSAA doesn't need to come here for this, just leave it to us at Trasever."

Everyone, including O'Brien, nodded. Only V, who was listening quietly at the side, sensed something wrong.

She raised her head, and then saw Li You looking at her with a smile on his face: "I'm going to trouble you with this matter."

V: "...So you called me over for a meeting just to wait here?"

Li You smiled and said nothing.

Who made you a manager of Arasaka Corporation? If not you, who else should I give this job to?

"...Tsk, then you have to prepare my reward. This is such a troublesome job, so I have to pay more!"

"no problem!"

After some bargaining that O'Brien couldn't understand, the two men finalized the task assignment. The others looked at them, trying not to smile, and said nothing.

"Okay, BSAA has no objection, so let's follow your plan." O'Brien was also a smart man. He decisively skipped the part he didn't understand and summarized, "The key at the moment is still the 'Black Light' parasite in the family's hands. This kind of thing will cause endless harm if it falls into the hands of others. It must be controlled! Li You, I'm leaving this to you!"

Li You also said seriously: "Leave it to me!"
