Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 725 Wesker's Declaration of War! ?
When Li You looked at the huge corpse up close, he knew that Heisenberg was probably captured alive by Wesker... at least half alive.

The traces of battle extended upward from the underground of the factory. After Heisenberg entered the second stage, he seemed to be severely injured by Wesker with unknown means, and then fled all the way to the ground... but this was also deliberately allowed by Wesker.

Wesker seemed to be testing Heisenberg's various physical abilities and recording the data, so he watched him escape to the ground, then caught up with him, dug his core part out of the tank and took it away.

By the way, Li You also found some yellow pollen in the remains of Heisenberg's flesh and blood chariot. There is no need to ask who this thing belongs to.

Finally, Li You came to the entrance of the underground area. Looking at the huge pool that was temporarily enclosed and the huge corpse of a strange fish lying beside the pool, he understood everything.

Obviously, the remaining three lords were all killed by Wesker. Judging from the traces, he was still alone.

This strength is worthy of his status and status in the game.

After taking a quick tour of the underground factory area and confirming that there were no other zombies left, Li You did not stay long and returned to the ground.

As soon as they returned to the ground, Edge's mental link was also connected. Naturally, they did not find anything valuable in the territory that originally belonged to Morrow and Donna, not even traces of fighting.

Li You didn't say much and asked them to meet him at the designated location - the small square in the middle of the village with the statue of the war girl.

The master of the fungus was actually buried underground in the village. In the game, Chris went down into the cave through a gap in the ground created by artillery fire, and only after knocking down the giant werewolf that was guarding Miranda did he find the master of the fungus.

Of course, the cave where the fungus master is located cannot have only this one entrance and exit. There must be a way leading to the outside world on the other side of Miranda's laboratory. However, Li You doesn't know where the entrance is and doesn't want to look for it.

Previously, he had been following the footsteps of Wesker and the four lords, mainly to understand Wesker's movements. In Li You's eyes, Old Wesker was a much more troublesome enemy than Miranda.

In a sense, Li You and Spencer's judgment is consistent. Although the mold is powerful, it can only be used to enhance the strength of individuals and groups, but it cannot destroy the world... Its infectiousness is too poor. This is also the reason why Spencer chose to leave after staying in the village for so long.

Now it is clear that Wesker has dealt with the four great lords, and his next target can only be Miranda and the main body of the fungus master.

Li You didn't plan to look for the entrance to Miranda's laboratory. After returning to the village square and meeting up with Yuzu and Edge, he raised his hand and took out the Spiral Sword.

"Stand away, and help me sense the underground area."

After giving these instructions, the Spiral Sword was raised high in Li You's hand. A burning spark flew across the sword, revealing its true form as the Fire Sword. Li You then tightly grasped the sword and stabbed it into the ground with his backhand!

"boom--!!"

The sudden gushing flames swept in all directions like the sea, but miraculously did not harm anything in the surrounding environment. Instead, they rolled back under Li You's control, and then rushed into the ground in an instant, as if to penetrate the earth!
However, compared to before, the ground was silent at this time, as if the sea of ​​fire just now was just an illusion. But when Li You pulled out the Fire Sword and put it away, and Yuzu and Aggie came over again, there was a two-meter-diameter hole where the sword had pierced before. It was bottomless and the outer edge was charred, but miraculously there was no heat left.

When Li You retracted the Fire Sword, he had already absorbed the remaining heat, leaving only the large transparent hole.

Edge complained: "You don't even need us to help you confirm the underground situation."

Of course, Li You was measured in his actions. The hole he opened was not big, nor was it as deep as it looked. Through Edge's mental connection and shared perception, he accurately found the underground cave opening leading to a farther place, and the hole he burned just happened to connect with it.

There was no need to say more at this point. Li You jumped down first, followed closely by Youzi and Aggie.

In the game, Chris fought a giant werewolf here, but Li You did not encounter the werewolf guard this time. He only saw the withered mold structure under the ground.

The mold here can almost be regarded as a direct extension from the main body of the fungus, but it has completely calcified and withered. Seeing this scene, Li You was mentally prepared.

Sure enough, when they went deeper into the rock cave and came to the wide underground cave where the main body of the fungus should have been, they still saw only broken and dried mold aggregates on the walls on both sides of the cave. The main body of the fungus, which was originally several meters high, had long disappeared.

At the edge of the natural opening in the cave in front, there are still some facilities and tools such as ropes left. It is obvious that the fungus owner was transported out from here.

Li You glanced around and didn't react much, after all, he had expected it. But when he saw a small metal badge lying quietly on the ground corresponding to the original location of the fungus owner, he frowned.

Yuzu and Edge also saw the badge at this time. Not to mention Edge, Yuzu was also very familiar with it.

——That is the umbrella emblem of Umbrella Corporation.

According to the new setting in Resident Evil 8, the Umbrella logo is actually the logo of the four major families engraved on the altar that Spencer saw when he was studying with Miranda in this village. So it is normal to see this emblem in this village, as this is its birthplace.

But that badge was different. It was made of metal, with red and white paint evenly spread across the umbrella's surface.

This is not the emblem of the four major families. There is no doubt that this color combination is the logo of Umbrella Corporation!

Li You picked up the metal badge. All the debris around it had been cleaned up. It was obviously abandoned here deliberately. Li You couldn't think of anyone else who did this except Wesker.

So this is... a provocation? A declaration of war?

Li You looked at the Umbrella badge in his hand and the tools remaining on the ground, and finally turned his gaze to the laboratory entrance at the end of the stairs.

Maybe there will be an answer there.

Walking into the laboratory, everything that Li You remembered should be here was gone, whether it was the large amount of experimental data records left by Miranda, the stored experimental samples, or the saved letters and diaries about the past, all disappeared. There was only an empty underground room left, which really looked like a real dungeon.

However, there was another thing left behind. On the long table in the middle of the room where the experimental samples were originally placed, there was now a smart phone with an advanced appearance lying quietly. When Li You picked it up, it automatically unlocked.

The phone's screen lit up and the camera flashed, projecting a life-size human image in front of Li You.

Albert Wesker.

The image looked at Li You, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "Long time no see... Li You."

Li You didn't react much.

He could tell at a glance that the image was just a video projection, and that Wesker couldn't really talk to him remotely unless he wanted to be found immediately.

But since it was a video, Li You was also very curious, how did Wesker know that he would definitely stand at that angle? What if he stood in the opposite direction, wouldn't he only be able to see the back of Wesker's head?
Wesker in the video obviously didn't think that he was thinking about this kind of question. He just continued to speak at his own pace: "I know you won't be surprised to see me. Although I don't know exactly when you found out, but since you have chased me here, it is obvious that you have noticed my target, so I don't need to keep you in suspense."

"First, let me tell you what you are most concerned about - I do have the Miagad parasite on my hands."

His first words made Li You narrow his eyes.

"...Oh, I remember you guys called it the Blacklight Parasite, right? I'll use that name for now." Wesker in the video curled his lips, "Anyway, no matter what the name is, I'm sure you're well aware of its power, otherwise you wouldn't rush to the scene in person as soon as there's an incident involving it."

"Then of course, I will make good use of this trump card."

At this point, a scarlet light flashed under Wesker's sunglasses: "I have established secret facilities in various places on the five continents to cultivate and spread blacklight parasites. Now they are all ready. As long as I give the order, they can be deployed on a large scale!"

At this moment, Li You looked up at him. Although he knew it was just an image, their eyes seemed to meet.

Wesker had a cold smile on his face. "But I won't do that... not yet. Li You, you are the biggest obstacle I have encountered so far. All my plans depend on you and those lingering guys around you. I also know that your power is beyond common sense. I have spent many years and have not found anything similar. It really puzzles me."

"…But that's not important. 'Those who are excellent in both body and mind should lead others', the old man Spencer's philosophy is still reasonable. With your level, you should also understand this point - humans and this world are in urgent need of change.

"My ideals have never wavered from the beginning to now. I want to become the god of the new world and bring salvation to this world. And the biggest stumbling block that stands in my way... is you!"

Wesker's image stared at him closely. "I know that you are not afraid of even conventional warships, but you also have weaknesses. If you do not want to see the blacklight parasites flooding the world, then you should come alone at the time I designate, at the place I designate... I will watch you."

"I will wait for you there, and when the time comes, I will defeat you and prove that I am the one who is qualified to be God!"

At this point, Wesker seemed to have finished speaking, his tone softened, and he wanted to cut off the video.

But then, as if he remembered something, he added, "By the way, I also know that your secret department has been researching inhibitors for black light parasites, but I'm sure you also know that in the face of the wave I'm about to bring, even if Louis and the others have really completed the research, the little inhibitor they have produced is just a drop in the bucket."

"Remember, you are the only one who can come here. Once you violate my request, it is self-evident what will happen. You are a smart person, and I don't need to say much about many things. I have already made full preparations to welcome you.

"That's it, then. I believe you will make a rational choice."

Finally, amid a deep laugh, Wesker's image gradually faded away, and on the smartphone, a single line of text appeared, which was the time and address Wesker had specified.

Li You was also silent for a moment.

Finally, it was Aggie who asked, "What are your plans?"

Li You exhaled and said, "I don't know. Wesker...what is he thinking? Is he really planning to...duel with me?"

We can also hear from Wesker's words that he also witnessed Li You's ability to destroy the US warship with a single sword, but even so, he still wants to declare war on Li You?
Who gave him the courage?

So Li You’s first reaction was that there was something fishy going on here.

But now it was clear that there was no answer, so Li You could only say: "There are still a few days until the time he specified... Let's go back first. Contact V and the others and prepare to withdraw."

Although only Li You and three other people entered the village, the others were naturally not idle either. Those who were supposed to come had come. V led a team to search for Wesker's possible base near the village.

Not to mention, when Li You contacted V, he actually got some information from her: they had made a discovery.

Li You and the other two immediately rushed to V's location, and then learned that Wesker had indeed established a temporary secret research base near the village to study mold and mold-infected people.

In this temporary laboratory located in the belly of the mountain, V and his team found many traces of Wesker's men, the most numerous of which were sliced ​​mold and infected samples that they did not have time to take away.

However, after a careful look, they also found that these remaining samples had basically lost their vitality and had no practical significance. As for the research data, of course, there was no data left, and Wesker's people evacuated completely.

The only thing that might be of some use was that after Yuzu and Edge arrived, they detected the scent of flesh and blood belonging to the four great lords in the remaining biological tissues in several petri dishes. It seemed that these four had been sliced ​​into pieces by Wesker regardless of whether they were alive or dead in the end.

There was no real gain here, so Li You prepared to leave.

But at this moment, another team led by Carlos, who was responsible for a thorough search of the area around the village, suddenly sent a communication: "Hey, Li You, we found an elderly infected person here. She calls herself...Mother Goddess Miranda, and said she wants to see our leader."

Li You's eyes moved immediately!
