Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 688 Aida appears?

One day later, outside Gaoxiang City.

Li You was wearing a helmet and driving his favorite car, Nazaré, on the avenue outside the city. Claire was sitting behind him, her arms tightly around his waist, and the strand of hair exposed under the helmet was flying in the wind.

In the past day, Li You had already explored several family bases around Washington that Hannigan had found out at great speed, but as expected, he did not gain anything. The family was like a cunning rabbit with many burrows, and most of the bases would not have any important personnel staying there on weekdays, and the same was true for important intelligence and information.

Li You had anticipated this and was not disappointed. After returning, he immediately prepared to go to Gaoxiang City and head to the cathedral there, which served as both a secret meeting place for family members and the ancestral tomb of the Simmons family.

It seemed natural that after Li You proposed to come to Tall Oak City, Claire also expressed her willingness to go with him. After all, she really had nothing to do if she stayed in Washington alone, so Li You naturally would not refuse, and the two of them arrived near their destination today.

Seeing the outline of Gaoxiang City appear at the end of the road, Li You slowed down a little and stopped at a place in front. He had been driving for a long time, and Li You himself was fine, but it was time for Claire to have a rest.

Claire was not polite. She got out of the car and stretched her body. She took out a bottle of water and drank a few sips. Then she asked, "Do you think Lyon will be smooth?"

Li You smiled and said, "I think it's okay."

What she was asking was actually another thing that Li You had asked Lyon to do before: to contact the real Ada Wang.

As an elite mercenary and agent, Ada has been active in various parts of the world for many years and is quite famous. During the Raccoon City incident, she was hired by HCF to obtain the G virus, and at that time she also accepted a secret mission from her family.

It was during this process that Simmons came into contact with Ada and fell in love with her.

As a result, in Raccoon City, professional agent Ada met a rookie policeman with blond side-parted hair and experienced some adventures with him. After escaping Raccoon City, Ada, whose mind had changed, decisively cut off contact with the family and no longer accepted their missions. Simmons was thus trapped in a more than ten-year long struggle.

Given Simmons's illness, he certainly never gave up looking for Ada, who was also dealing with the family forces and her whereabouts were erratic. But judging from her performance in the sixth generation of biochemical, she must have found out a lot of information about the family during this process - so in the original game, she was able to find Gaoxiang City in the first place.

Now that Li You has to deal with the family, Ada becomes a natural ally both in terms of position and past friendship, so Li You gives Leon the task of contacting Ada and trying to seek cooperation.

Leon was actually a little confused at the time: “Why did you ask me to contact you?”

Li You: "Ask, those who understand will understand."

Leon: “……?”

However, in fact, everyone present at the time, even Hannigan, understood why Li You let Leon go.

Do you even need to ask? Who in our circle of friends doesn't know about your relationship with her?
Even Wesker knew it.

Besides, even Li You didn't know where Ada was at this time and what she was busy with. If anyone could contact Ada, it would only be Leon.

However, Leon also looked embarrassed at the time: "In fact, she hasn't replied to my letter recently..."

“‘Recently’?” Everyone who got the point pricked up their ears, and Leon, who had become more and more mature over the years, was unusually embarrassed. In the end, he muddled through the issue with vague answers, saying that he would try to contact Ada, and then ran away on the spot.

Until now, Claire couldn't help but smile when she thought of Leon's appearance at that time. But when she looked at Li You who was checking the map next to her, her smile quickly faded.

"This guy……"

Li You really didn't notice Claire's micro-expression. After comparing the mobile phone map with the roadside signs, he said to Claire: "It's still early now. Let's go. We won't go into the city. Let's go directly to the church."

Claire naturally had no objection and got back on Nazaré. Li You slightly changed direction and followed the road ahead towards the cathedral located in the suburbs of Gao Oak City.

——Nazare was running fast, and the last section of the road soon came to the end. The church with several towering spires was already in sight. With Li You's eyesight, he could even see several ancient bells hanging on the spires - that was also part of the mechanism that needed to be deciphered in the game.

"We're almost there." Claire also noticed the church vaguely visible in the distance and couldn't help but speak.

However, when the two drove closer, they found that today was not a holiday, but the inner and outer doors of the church were tightly closed, with heavy chains wrapped around the iron gates, and no one could be seen inside.

Li You parked Nazaré at the entrance of the church area. Claire got out of the car, took off her helmet, and looked at the blocked gate.

"How is this going?"

Claire was very puzzled. According to the information they had obtained, although the High Oaks Cathedral usually only opened a small number of areas to the general public, a complete blockade like this was rare.

Since Aggie was not there, Li You chose to release his magic power over a large area to explore, and then found that: "There is no other person's breath inside or outside the church, including around here."

Li You also took off his helmet at this time, looked at Claire, and they immediately had a tacit understanding.

It seems that there is indeed a situation.

Li You immediately took out his smartphone and made a call. After a gentle sound, Hannigan's face appeared on the screen.

"Li You! Have you arrived in Gaoxiang City?"

After the interview with Hanigan, Li You was no longer polite to her and directly saved her contact information. During the period of activities in the United States, Hanigan was relied on to provide intelligence support.

Li You briefly explained the situation, so Hannigan immediately began to investigate and soon made a discovery: "Just a few hours ago, the Gaoxiang City police suddenly issued a notice, listing several areas on the outskirts of the city as risk areas, saying that these areas were suspected of being attacked by wild animals recently, and advised people not to go there. Gaoxiang City Church is also in these areas, so it was closed."

"A beast attack? A warning of danger?"

Li You raised his eyebrows. This familiar combination of nouns made his past memories begin to awaken. Claire's face also changed slightly: "Why is this just like... Raccoon City back then?"

When the biological incident first broke out in Raccoon City, it was in the Arklay Mountains on the outskirts of the city. At that time, the Raccoon City Police Department also announced that there were wild beast attacks in the mountains and issued a warning. The Arklay Mountains are actually Umbrella's secret research base.

Claire had not yet arrived in Raccoon City at that time, but after further investigation, she had a detailed understanding of the causes and consequences of the Raccoon City incident. And now, she also knew very well that the base of this ancient cathedral was the family's secret research base.

...so similar.

She immediately became serious: "Li You, we..."

Needless to say, Li You nodded and said, "We can't take it lightly. We need to be prepared. Let's investigate first."

Li You snapped his fingers, and the teardrops separated from his body and quickly transformed into his own appearance, which made Claire stunned. However, this was not the first companion who could transform into Li You's appearance, so she did not make a fuss, but just waited quietly.

Li You had already informed the replica teardrop of what he was going to do through the connection between consciousnesses, so Li You, who was transformed from the replica teardrop, immediately spread the illusory dragon wings behind him and flew into the sky.

"What is he doing..." Claire asked subconsciously. Li You was taking potion and said vaguely, "I asked him to explore the designated dangerous areas. If there are any clues, I will know immediately."

In addition to some special props and equipment, the replica teardrop can almost completely replicate Li You's abilities and his thinking ability, and there is even no time limit. The only problem is that it cannot be too far away from him, otherwise it will really be split into two.

Regarding the unusual situation in Gaoxiang City, Li You decided to let the replica teardrop investigate first. If he found anything, he would immediately teleport Yuzu and Edge over and notify the BSAA North American branch to take immediate action.

Now, he and Claire are going to explore the research base located under the cathedral, which may be the source of everything.

The iron gate was locked, which naturally could not stop Li You. He hugged Claire and flew up like a teardrop, intending to enter the church directly from the roof.

If it wasn't for the sake of preventing an emergency from alerting the enemy, it would be okay to just kick the door.

It was the first time that Claire was carried into the sky by Li You. She was surprised and happy. However, Li You landed on the platform at the top of the church in a blink of an eye and put her down. Claire was a little reluctant at this time.

But then, she noticed something and immediately threw her thoughts aside. She came to the half-open door in front and picked up the lock that had fallen to the ground: "Li You!"

Li You's expression also changed slightly: "The lock was violently dismantled, and the marks are very fresh. I'm afraid it was removed not long ago. Interesting, besides us, are there other guests here?"

Claire had already taken out the straight sword that used to belong to Anri from the storage space attached to her jacket and hung it around her waist. She also held the unlimited bullet samurai blade given by Li You in her hand and said decisively, "Let's go and take a look!"

"it is good."

Li You seemed to be at ease. He didn't need to make any preparations. He pushed the door open and walked in first.

Objectively speaking, this church does have a history of several hundred years and can be considered a valuable ancient building. However, when it came into Simmons' hands, he transformed this family heirloom and the ancestral tomb underground into a research base for his experiments. He also used the mechanisms left over from the past with a sense of humor, turning the entire church into a maze-like structure.

I wonder if the ancestors of the Simmons family would be so angry that they would come back to life when they see this unfilial descendant of his... Oh wait, in the game, the mummies of those ancestors did come back to life because they were infected with the C virus.

That's fine. After all, Simmons, the filial son, later blew up the entire city of Tall Oaks, including the church, so this is nothing.

In addition, objectively speaking, the mechanisms in this church are actually quite ingeniously designed, taking into account both ancient legacies and modern renovations, and the integration is quite good. For example, there is a mechanical stone statue holding a burning crossbow, and the mechanism door needs to be opened by a decorative bronze mirror refracting a pipeline held by the statue. It really made Li You recall the gaming days of his youth.

However, along the way, Li You and Claire did not encounter too many traps. Instead, they saw many signs of destruction. It seemed that the visitor who had come before them had already cracked many levels for them.

"The movements are very neat..."

Li You looked at the scattered mechanical fragments on the ground and commented to himself: "Who would come here at this time?"

"…Wait a minute, Masaka?"

He suddenly thought of something. Could it be that the person running in front of them was...

"Whizzing--"

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking wind. It turned out that Li You was thinking about something and accidentally triggered the crossbow mechanism on the side of the road. Two burning arrows flew towards the two of them from the left and right.

Claire did not hesitate. She raised her hand and fired a shot, shooting down the crossbow arrow with incredible accuracy. As for the other one coming from behind, she didn't even look at it because Li You was right there.

Li You didn't make any unnecessary movements. When the crossbow arrow flew in front of him, it was like it hit molten steel that was invisible to the naked eye. It dissolved instantly and then vaporized and disappeared.

"The hall is downstairs, let's go." Li You smiled at Claire, walked down the stairs, and then came to the prayer hall of the church.

This place is also very familiar. It is the place where you encounter the first "Beauty Beast" in the game Resident Evil 6. On the altar at the end of the hall, there is a stone statue of the Virgin Mary, and behind it is the entrance to the underground area.

Unlike before, the statue was now down, and the mechanism was not opened to reveal the passage behind it. However, there were no signs of other people's activities in the entire hall, as if the person who came here before them disappeared directly after arriving here.

At this point, Li You was too lazy to hide his traces, after all, someone had been here before. So he waved his hand, and the spiral sword flew out on its own, wrapped in a dark red cyclone and slashed down with one sword!
"boom--!!"

With a loud bang, the exquisite and heavy statue was instantly shattered into pieces!

The low steps leading downward at the back were naturally revealed. Li You and Claire pushed open the door and entered the underground laboratory.

This time, before they had walked far in the modernized underground tomb, they saw a tall figure standing in the middle of the road ahead, waiting for them leisurely.

The woman was wearing a dark red jacket and slim-fitting trousers, holding a delicate crossbow in her hand, with a meaningful smile on her face as she looked at Li You and the others. Of course, Li You and Claire would definitely recognize that person.

At the very least, there was no doubt that face belonged to Ada Wang, whom Li You was looking for!
