Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 729 Confrontation with Wesker

In a secret facility somewhere, Albert Wesker was waiting quietly.

He was wearing a fiber-textured tactical suit, with his hands folded behind his back. He stood tall in the empty hall, with only his back facing the entrance.

This hall also looks like a research base, but everything inside has been moved away. Now there is only an empty oval hall. The color tone is still white, and there is an old Umbrella emblem on one wall.

Steady footsteps were heard from the entrance. Wesker raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Welcome. You have arrived on time as expected."

"I believe you have completed all your preparations. Although I don't know how you did it, I just discovered that the communication with the outside world has been blocked."

At the entrance of the hall, Li You, who had just walked in, raised his eyebrows.

One reason was because of the furnishings in this base, and the other was because of Wesker’s sharpness.

But what surprised him most was that Wesker himself was actually here.

Isn't there a pitfall here?

"I thought that a large number of troops would stay outside the area I designated and surround this base, but I didn't expect you to come alone. It seems that there are no surrounding troops from outside."

Wesker turned around and looked at Li You. "Even though this is the case, you can completely isolate this base from the outside world's signals... Your ability is still as amazing as ever."

Li You looked at him and didn't say anything for a while.

Of course, he was trying to determine if this Wesker was really him, but for now, he couldn't be sure.

After thinking for a moment, Li You responded, "I thought there might be some small clues left by you here. You were going to act like an NPC issuing quests and make me run back and forth several times before you showed up."

The reason for saying this is that before, when Li You found the place according to the address Wesker gave last time, he only saw the information of the second location he left.

This time the location is an old Umbrella research institute that has long been completely abandoned, located underground near an inconspicuous town somewhere in Northern Europe.

In the earliest message, Wesker emphasized that Li You should come alone, and this time the message he left gave a detailed explanation.

He demanded that no one except Li You should approach the designated location within a five-kilometer radius, and said directly that he had a transmitter in his hand that could remotely activate delivery facilities around the world. If Li You did not cooperate, he could release the black light parasites at any time.

But in fact, Li You had no intention of testing his bottom line from the beginning. He indeed went to the appointment alone. After receiving this message, he came here immediately.

But he certainly wasn't unprepared.

After entering the underground base, V immediately followed Li You and, in accordance with the method discussed with Li You, used the Pandora briefcase that had accumulated a large amount of magic power to transform into a huge signal shielding device. This device, driven by magic power, had a very large coverage area and its effectiveness was beyond everyone's imagination. It easily covered the entire base and blocked the transmission of all electronic signals.

This was naturally to prevent Wesker from getting desperate. But at the moment, it seemed that even though he knew the signal was blocked, he was not in a hurry at all?
"If I'm not prepared, I can't declare war on you at this time." Wesker didn't pay attention to the irony in Li You's words and said to himself, "But at the same time, I won't put myself in a disadvantageous situation."

As he spoke, his expression was very calm, as if the two people present were not enemies about to fight to the death, but good friends who had not seen each other for a long time.

But so far, the two of them have actually been talking about their own things. Wesker seems to think that there is no point in continuing this conversation, so he said:

"You must be doubting whether I am who I am. I can't prove anything to you about this question, but if you are not in a hurry, then we can talk about it. One question, one answer, how about that?"

After he said this, Li You wanted to see what he was up to, so he nodded: "Okay."

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Li You spoke first:

"Then let me ask you, how many secret facilities do you have?"

Wesker smiled, "Eight places in total. How is it? Are there any differences with what you found? Have Chris and the others already gone to those places?"

Li You narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was not too surprised that Wesker could guess the movements of others, so it was even more intriguing why he had no reaction.

However, Li You did not show any emotion, but just asked: "Is this a problem?"

"Of course not." Wesker said, "The actions you will take are easy to predict, but when the time comes, you will find that these efforts are in vain."

"Oh?" Li You looked scrutinizingly.

"It's my turn to ask." Wesker obviously didn't intend to say more, "Li You, your power and yourself are not from this world, right?"

Facing Wesker's eyes that glowed red, Li You just shrugged: "Yeah, I'm not."

"...Heh, you don't intend to hide it." Wesker looked at him, the red light in his eyes quickly dissipated, "Yes, even if you deny it, I have my own judgment. Even if you admit it, I can't do anything to you."

"Then why are you asking this? Just to know an answer that actually has no meaning?" Li You asked back.

Unexpectedly, Wesker nodded calmly: "That's right! I just want an answer."

“Over the years, I have visited ancient sites around the world, read through the heritage of major ancient civilizations, and even looked for clues in various myths, trying to decipher your completely unreasonable abilities, but in the end, I found nothing.

"I also sent spies to Trasever and BSAA, but in the end not many of them were able to penetrate the core, and the rare one who did expose himself just for some information about the virus... What a waste."

Li You listened to his words and suddenly realized that Wesker had come for his and Kara's magical powers from the beginning.

"But Louis, Rebecca, and that little girl... their research results are indeed amazing. I took the information I got from you to seek family cooperation, and in the end I really created an unprecedented powerful parasite, which is a good harvest. Otherwise, I really don’t have any trump card to hold you hostage." Wesker raised the corner of his mouth.

"So you think that you can fight me with the power of the Black Light Parasite and the Fungus Master?"

Li You looked at him, "I thought you would be smarter."

Wesker laughed again: "Of course I don't think so, but I also have my own plans. But before that... since you said so, let me try out my new power first!"

They were chatting peacefully just now, but now Wesker suddenly took action. He raised his right hand to the side, and as he moved, the walls around the empty hall began to tremble, and then the old and dilapidated walls suddenly tore apart, and steel bars of uniform thickness flew out from the wall, like thousands of arrows, covering Li You!

The same mutant ability as "Martial Arts Scholar" Carl Heisenberg, magnetic field manipulation!
Moreover, the control he showed at this moment was no less than Heisenberg in the game in Li You's opinion. Although it should have been a short time since Wesker obtained the power of the Fungus Master, Li You did not find it strange. With Wesker's talent, his physique that was perfectly integrated with the Black Light Parasite, and the martial arts examinee who was captured alive for experimentation, it was not surprising that he could copy and quickly master this power.

In fact, Li You had always felt that the martial arts candidate Heisenberg's mutation ability was really strong, and he had also demonstrated the ability to "walk in the air" by manipulating magnetic fields and metals, so he should be able to use it.

But at the critical moment, his choice was to transform himself into a chariot made of flesh, blood and metal and then rush forward.

Li You said I don’t understand what you are thinking.

Look at how Magneto from Marvel Studios next door plays, how do you play it? Why do you mutate yourself and then go into close combat?

Well, that's not impossible to explain.

Seriously speaking, this may be because Heisenberg's ability to control magnetism is ultimately limited, far inferior to Magneto next door, so the most destructive power is still to mutate himself.

Of course, if we want to talk about the real reason, Li You probably thinks it’s because if Heisenberg doesn’t mutate, then this game probably shouldn’t be called Resident Evil…

All in all, although Heisenberg is a typical person who played a good hand badly, Wesker, who has the same ability as him, obviously will not be as stubborn and stupid as him.

Although Wesker is confident in his own physical strength, he has witnessed the power of Li You's sword. He will definitely not mutate himself and go up to kill him... At least he won't do that now that he is thinking normally.

So he started with a rain of steel arrows!

Li You suddenly opened his eyes wide, and a strange magical light flashed in his eyes. A curtain of flames rose from under his feet, covering his entire body. The flying steel bars melted into molten iron under the exaggerated high temperature the moment they touched the curtain of flames.

Then Li You waved his hand lightly, the fire curtain dissipated, and the molten iron fell around him, leaving a conspicuous circle on the ground.

Wesker's eyes moved slightly, but he was not surprised. After watching the video of Li You using his sword to create a fire dragon and destroy the warship, he already knew that Li You had the ability to control high-temperature flames.

“…Then what about this?”

He raised his hand and more steel bars flew out and began to rotate around Li You at high speed, turning into a steel storm!
This time, Li You did not summon the flame curtain again, but commented calmly: "Controlling the magnetic field by controlling the electric current is indeed a powerful ability. As long as you have a good brain, you can do even more."

"But now that I know the principle, it's easy to crack it."

As he spoke, he raised his hand slightly, and the staff transformed from the spiral sword floated out and appeared in front of him. A deep purple light lit up, and a gravity field constructed by magic power was generated, causing the surrounding metal storm to stagnate instantly!

Wesker's face changed slightly when he saw this, and Li You looked at him and said, "Come and feel this power for yourself."

As he spoke, he gripped the Spiral Staff, and the Supreme Far-away Staff also appeared at his side as an aid. With the help of the two staffs, Li You instantly turned the surrounding gravity field around. The originally flying metal storm was twisted by him and pounced towards Wesker!

It seemed that Wesker was about to be crushed by the storm, but his figure moved and quickly disappeared, as if he had merged into the air, and the metal storm also fell into the air.

"Oh, that's good."

Li You immediately understood what Wesker had just done. He used the sudden burst of high speed to avoid the path of the storm, and at the same time used the invisibility ability from the black light parasite to erase his figure, making it seem as if he had disappeared on the spot.

However, even if Edge was not there, this move could not be concealed from Li You. His eyes moved and immediately locked onto Wesker's current position. It turned out that this guy had already gone around to the far end of the side of the hall, and seemed to be using his ability to control the magnetic field to try to affect the ground around Li You.

"……Um?"

The next moment, the ground under Li You's feet collapsed instantly!
Under the floor was a bottomless well. After Wesker removed the supporting metal frame, the already aging ground suddenly collapsed.

But this was still just a small trick. Li You's body fell less than half a meter under the influence of gravity and then stopped. He didn't even need to spread his phantom wings. He could maintain his body shape just by relying on the gravity magic that had not dissipated at this time.

So Li You flew back to the ground casually, then raised his hand, and several glass shurikens flew out, instantly forcing out Wesker who was hiding nearby.

"Although I don't know what you are planning, I am almost fed up." Li You looked at him, "If you are really prepared, then take this move and try it."

As he spoke, Li You raised his hand, and a small black dragon swam out of his hand nimbly, then turned into a black long sword that he held.

At this moment, Wesker's brain seemed to be completely occupied by the word "death"!

He didn't know what the knife was, but he instinctively felt that if he was hit by the knife, he would be completely destroyed.

His feeling was correct. The complete form of the Immortal Slash could kill a person without reservation from body to soul.

Li You didn't know what other plans Wesker had, but he knew that he had obtained the power of the Fungus Lord, so he naturally had to be on guard.

So, if I take out the Undying Sword, how are you going to respond?
But at this moment, for some reason, Wesker's mouth corners were obviously raised.

The next moment, Li You also noticed something.

Before his eyes, the surrounding scenery changed instantly. Wesker's figure disappeared, and the hall turned into an ice field ravaged by wind and snow!

"This is……?"

It only took Li You a moment to realize that what he saw was an illusion and that everything before him was not real.

It is very simple to break the illusion, but Li You is puzzled. How did Wesker make himself see the illusion?

After thinking about it, he immediately realized the problem - some kind of neurotoxin had been floating in the air in the hall.

Although he had used magic to form a shield when he first entered the hall, in case he was hit by any tricks, the shield was temporarily ineffective when he switched the flame curtain and gravity magic and summoned the Undead Slash, so he was affected.

After realizing this, Li You immediately planned to mobilize his magic power to dissolve the toxins in his body, or use the gourd in his backpack to remove them.

But Wesker seemed to realize that Li You was affected by the toxin at this time, and immediately used all his strength to activate his newly acquired power.

Then the scene in front of Li You changed again, and what appeared in front of him this time was actually a corner of the Raccoon City Police Station!
The magic power that Li You originally intended to use to shatter the illusion suddenly stopped working and stagnated along with his mind. Then he watched the illusion in front of him with interest.

Is Wesker trying to... attack my heart?
