Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 722 Entering the Village
A snow-covered mountain trail stretched forward, and the road was very quiet. If it weren't for the messy footprints and abandoned debris on the roadside, there would not even be any signs of human habitation here.

But as we walked a little further along the road and pushed aside the branches of the bushes that blocked our view, a simple village suddenly appeared before our eyes. At the other end of the village, we could see an ancient castle with a great style.

This is the main storyline scene of Resident Evil 8, the village ruled by the goddess Miranda.

A pair of leather boots crushed the snow and stepped onto the village land.

It was Li You. He did not fly here directly, but walked here instead. He looked up at the village and his eyes moved slightly.

There is no mistake, this is the village of Resident Evil 8. Although Li You personally always thinks that Resident Evil 7 and 8 are more like spin-off works, and he is not particularly interested in them, but he has played them anyway, so naturally he will not admit his mistake.

However, compared with the village in his memory, this village was devastated, as if it had just experienced war.

The houses in the village were tilted and collapsed, the roads were bumpy, there were overturned car frames on the road, and empty bullet casings were scattered on both sides.

There were even traces of blood splatter on many walls in the village.

All these things happened, as if a tragedy called bandits entering the village had just happened not long ago.

But if it was a country like Idonia, it would be fine. This small village is far away from human habitation, hidden in the mountains, and protected by the mother goddess Miranda. How could there be bandits invading?

On the other hand, although the village was in ruins, there was not a single dead body found, neither from either side.

Not only were there corpses, there was no sign of living people in the village either, not even a single crow or bird.

So Li You frowned slightly: "It seems that we are indeed too late."

Obviously, Wesker had probably gotten a head start. But after all, their intelligence was much slower than Wesker's, so there was nothing they could do about it.

Following behind Li You, only Youzi and Aggie were left. Youzi never expressed her opinion, but Aggie spoke directly, "I'm here to see if there's anyone else in the village."

She moved quickly, and her perception spread instantly, covering most of the village, and then she frowned slightly.

"It really seems like a dead place... There seems to be some reaction here, I'll go over and take a look."

Li You and the other two entered the village, and Aiji began to search for the life force that she vaguely sensed. When they reached the middle of the village, she finally realized, "It really is there, right here!"

At Edge's signal, Yuzu immediately took action and picked up the large pieces of debris piled on top of the collapsed hut in front of him, threw them aside with a "bang", and quickly cleared away the remaining rubble, revealing the tightly closed cellar door below.

At this point, Youzi also realized something. He stopped demolishing the house with force and squatted on the ground, and slowly and gently opened the cellar door.

A stuffy air emanated from the cellar, and as soft light pierced the darkness under the cellar, a small figure at the end twitched, and then shrank into deeper darkness.

Yuzu didn't move, but looked back at Li You and Aggie, and Li You nodded to him.

So Yuzu no longer hesitated, and slowly went down into the cellar, carefully approached the figure hiding in it, and after confirming that the other person actually had no strength to move, he carefully carried him out.

Li You and Aiji could also see clearly at this time that Yuzi was holding a little girl who looked no more than seven or eight years old. She was wrapped in a blanket and covered in dust. She could hardly open her eyes and her breathing was extremely weak.

It was for this reason that even Aggie almost missed her at the beginning.

Li You stepped forward, carefully took the little girl, and found a flat place to put her down. After a careful look, Li You confirmed that she had no external injuries, but was just too weak, so he raised his hand without hesitation and took out his holy bell.

There was a soft "Ding-ling~" sound. Before Li You could make a move, Edge next to him had already completed the miracle prayer. A light golden light fell, exuding a gentle feeling, stabilizing the condition of the little girl.

Li You then withdrew his hand. There was no need for him to release it again.

"Well……"

The little girl finally opened her eyes and looked at the three strangers in front of her. She was not afraid, but still a little confused: "Who... are you?"

Li You saw a look of confusion in her eyes, as if the little girl's memory was a little fuzzy, which was why she didn't make a fuss about looking for her parents as soon as she woke up.

At this time, it is obviously necessary for Li You, who had put all his luck into charm when initially adding points, to come forward.

He looked at the little girl and said kindly, "Don't worry, we are..."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the little girl looked at him and shrank behind Yuzu.

Li You: "?"

Aiji was happy to see Li You being humiliated, and then she went up and started talking to the little girl, and the girl didn't seem to be averse to her.

Li You: "..."

what's the situation?
Not to mention Li You's confusion, Yuzu and Aiji quickly became familiar with the little girl.

Under Aggie's guidance, the little girl recalled what had happened before and naturally felt panicked and nervous.

Fortunately, Edge had a variety of ways to use his mental power. He quickly calmed the little girl and got some necessary information from her.

After a while, the little girl fell asleep peacefully under her care. Aiji then came to Li You and asked, "Shall I report to you?"

Li You: “…That’s not necessary.”

Although he had just gone to search somewhere else, he could still understand the situation here through the mental link. Edge asked this on purpose.

Because of her unnecessary questioning, Li You even found out why the little girl was avoiding him.

Because the girl's father had told her that those outsiders who looked good, had a smiling face, and spoke very gently were the most untrustworthy, because they would kidnap children and sell them.

The little girl listens to her father very much, so when facing Li You, who "looks like a good person at first glance", she hides instead, but is very close to Youzi who rescued her.

Li You: "..."

Nothing to say.

As for the situation in the village, she naturally inquired about it. According to the girl, she was stuffed into the basement by her father when a group of outsiders in black clothes broke into the village, and she was told not to come out.

There was no sunlight in the cellar, and the village was in chaos. The little girl even said that she saw the group of people in black fighting with the werewolves, and she didn't know the final outcome.

If it were a local police officer or something like that, they probably wouldn't believe her, but Li You naturally knew the situation.

Werewolf? Isn't it just a mutant infected with mold? It makes perfect sense for them to appear here.

In the original game, the werewolves raised by the lords were the main force killing the villagers, but now the situation has been reversed and they have become the reinforcements that rescue them, which is quite interesting.

Of course, this is just a result-based approach. If the werewolves encounter a lone villager, they probably won't mind adding a little food. For Miranda, the villagers in the village are consumables that are not a big problem as long as there are some left. If the little girl was not young and her smell was not obvious, and if she hadn't hidden in the cellar and her house collapsed, I'm afraid Li You and his team wouldn't have met this little survivor.

Aiji also felt a little bit grateful for her luck, but Li You was more interested in the name she had just mentioned.

"Her name is... Elena, right?"

There is no doubt that Li You recognizes this name. In the plot of Resident Evil 8, she is also one of the consumable characters used in the early stage to tell the protagonist Ethan how abnormal this village is.

But no matter what the role is, since it has been created, it will naturally have its own life trajectory. Calculating the time, Elena is indeed still just a child.

Li You estimated the time and compared it with the plan made before coming here. He knew that there was no other way to place little Elena, so he nodded to Youzi: "Then the task of taking care of her will be left to you."

Yuzu didn't say anything, but she obviously didn't have any opinion. Yuzu was always very patient with children.

He gently picked up little Elena without waking her up, and then stood quietly behind Li You.

Li You immediately said, "Let's go and see where Wesker has gone."

……

Deep inside the Dimitrescu Castle.

Inside the classical and luxurious castle corridor, a swarm of black flying insects swept past, and the insects vaguely resembled human women.

These are the three black-robed girls who had also taken part in the previous village defense battle. They are Bella, Cassandra, and Daniela, the daughters of "Eight-foot Lady" Achina - in fact, her experimental subjects.

Their bodies can transform between human form and a swarm of flying insects at will. This is also a unique manifestation of the gifted ability in them. Generally speaking, ordinary physical attacks have little effect on them. The biggest weakness of the three daughters is fear of cold, so they can only move indoors.

The protagonist Ethan in the game has to hide everywhere in the castle and rely on breaking the windows to let in the cold wind from outside to freeze the three daughters in order to get rid of them.

However, at this moment, the swarm of insects flying by was not only sparse, but also did not seem to be as aggressive as when hunting. Instead, they seemed to be... running for their lives?

"Boom——!!"

When the swarm of insects flew past the narrow corner in front, suddenly a loud noise came from the side. The wall with ancient decorations and huge portraits was instantly pierced by a huge force. Fragments of the portraits and walls flew everywhere, killing many flying insects.

But this is not the most crucial thing. A flame immediately surged out from the gap, sucking most of the flying insects into it!

The insect swarm instantly emitted crackling and high-frequency sharp hissing sounds, as if they were screaming. A large number of flying insects were roasted into charcoal by the flames, and only a few broke out of the flame circle and successfully escaped into the hall in front of the passage.

The participating flying insects circled twice and barely formed a broken human figure, which was the girl Cassandra. She seemed to be the only one left. Bella and Daniela were nowhere to be seen.

Cassandra was also forced to change back to her original form. These black flying insects were the product of grace. Because the mold has the characteristic of shared memory, the three daughters can be reassembled even if their bodies are devoured by them.

But this derived flying insect is not mold after all. If the insect swarm suffers too much loss, the daughters will also lose their memory and even their ability to move.

At this moment, Cassandra was forced to transform back into human form, but the number of insect swarms was not enough to support her to build a complete body. In this half-crippled state, she could not escape the pursuit of that man at all.

Steady footsteps were heard, and a tall figure stepped out from the corridor. It was Wesker.

He strolled leisurely, one hand behind his back, the other hand with the glove removed and slightly extended forward.

Cassandra was also extremely horrified when she saw this, and she murmured, "No, no no no... No! Ah——!!"

Although she tried her best to escape, a strong flame spewed out from Wesker's hand, wrapping her whole body!

Cassandra screamed miserably, but it was soon cut off because the flying insects that made up her body had been burned to the point where they could no longer maintain her form. Finally, in the flames, Cassandra's body was completely burned, and the remains disintegrated, turning into a pile of charred flying insect corpses.

After that, Wesker shook his right hand, clenched it in front of him, and then put the glove back on casually.

Then, he raised his head slightly and raised his voice slightly, "Achina Dimitrescu! Your daughters are all dead. Have you recovered from your injuries? Or are you still afraid to come out, and can only let your daughters die?"

In the deserted castle, his voice echoed far away, but still no one showed up. Only a buzzing voice sounded: "Don't be too proud, outsider! If it weren't for your strange poison, I would have torn you into pieces!"

Wesker's mouth curled up into a sneer, and he didn't argue with her at all.

This was the second time he had entered the territory of the four lords alone. It was not known whether these lords were stupid or too arrogant. They had already fought with him once before, and after that they dared to split up their forces and disperse back to their respective nests.

Of course Wesker didn't know that the four lords were not in harmony with each other, but the most important thing was that their abilities were all subject to special limitations. For example, Achina had to drink blood regularly to maintain her body functions, so she had to come back.

Although Wesker said that he could not quite understand what these idiots were thinking, he would never miss this opportunity, so he immediately set out and stormed into Dimitrescu Castle.

After breaking in alone, Wesker fought with Achina for the second time, and then beat the wife who had just recovered, leaving her covered in wounds again. Even with the help of her three daughters, the outcome could not be changed.

Akina felt she could no longer endure it and was ready to transform into the second stage. However, she did not expect that the large number of wounds left on her body by Wesker during the battle contained much higher levels of blacklight parasites than the last time. Although these parasitic secretions would not kill her, they were enough to interfere with her body functions for a while, so Akina failed when she wanted to enter the second stage.

This did make Aqina a little panicked, but fortunately she reacted quickly and realized the problem immediately, so she ran away immediately and asked her daughters to cover them... and then the situation became what it is now.

Hearing Akina's impotent rage, Wesker did not refute, but his eyes trembled slightly, and he caught the original source of the sound that seemed to resound throughout the hall just now.

He then raised his right hand, and with a little force, his arm instantly became extremely strong, like a sledgehammer. Wesker looked at the corner of the ceiling where the sound first came from, stepped back a little to accumulate strength, and then suddenly jumped up, and smashed his giant right hand towards that corner!
"Rumble--"

With a violent shattering sound, Wesker broke through the wall and ceiling and jumped onto the second floor. He continued to rush along the direction he had just captured, and after breaking through two walls, he found Aqina drinking blood in a secret room.

Seeing that he could actually catch up in this way, Akina, with blood in her mouth, couldn't help but stare wide-eyed. However, Wesker was a little late after all, and her body had already recovered.

Then, Mrs. Hachisha roared: "You bastard, you invaded my mother's village, destroyed my castle, and killed my daughter! I will make you pay the price!"

Amidst the deafening roar, Achina's body quickly grew larger, and under Wesker's gaze, it transformed into a nearly ten-meter-long strange creature with a gray-white body, four legs, wings, and a long tail. It was as shocking as an alien dragon.

The monster's mouth had several layers, unfolding one after another, and each layer had sharp teeth. The only remaining upper half of Akina's human body had also been transformed and was located between the wings on the dragon's back. Countless tentacles stretched out along her body and danced in the air.

After the mutation, Aqina shook her body and spread her wings. Her huge body instantly broke through the small secret room, revealing the sky outside. Aqina then flapped her wings and flew into the sky!
A twisted roar came from the torn mouth, and after the huge body stretched out in the air, it suddenly pounced on Wesker who was standing on the edge of the broken room!

"die--!!"

"boom!!"

After the loud bang, the remaining structure of the room was completely shattered by Akina, but the invader whom he hated so much was not shattered together with her. Instead, he avoided her attack by some unknown means and then stepped on her front paws!
"...Yes, I thought you were the less useful one. It seems that it is worth my trip."

Wesker said this with his signature sneer on his face, his pupils beneath his sunglasses a beast-like scarlet.

He raised his hands, and his arms instantly transformed into black blades: "Come on, it's time to get the materials!"
