Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 736 Past Copy
The deepest part of the area where Li You is located is also the deepest part of the Arklay Research Institute. It is a hall at the end of the waste treatment facility.

This hall is located behind a long corridor. It is deep and dark, but the interior is very empty and looks ordinary.

But in fact, this is the place where Rebecca and Billy Cohen fought against the mutant leech queen Marcus in Resident Evil 0.

At this time, in the corridor outside the room.

Hurried footsteps were heard, and a figure rushed into the corridor from the corner, with more noisy noises following behind her.

"boom!"

A huge mutant gorilla emerged from the liquid black area on the ceiling and crashed into her front, completely blocking the way ahead with its broad body.

However, immediately afterwards, there was a "puff" sound and the sword light appeared.

The sharp blade with an ancient shape slashed across and cut off the neck of the mutant gorilla that was blocking the way. Blood gushed out, but the gorilla covered its neck and took a few steps back, still refusing to fall down.

The person who came with her ponytail raised was Claire. She turned around to look at the various mutant creatures that had appeared at the corner, and without getting entangled, she grabbed the long hair of the mutant gorilla, quickly climbed onto its body, and climbed over its shoulder.

In this way, this mutant gorilla became an obstacle that could temporarily block the mutant creatures behind.

After Claire passed the gorilla, she quickly walked to the door, took out a strangely shaped metal key from her body, opened the door in front of her, slipped in, and then closed the door tightly.

The hall was empty except for a strange black slime crawling all over the room and an indescribable smell that made Claire frown instinctively.

But according to what the strange woman in a black dress (holding a doll in her hand) who appeared in front of her before said, if she wants to go to the next level, she has to come here to look for clues.

Claire didn't know who she was, but since she couldn't establish contact with Li You and his two companions or Aggie, she still chose to give it a try according to the instructions of the woman in the black dress.

Claire and the others were able to call upon the weapons that had previously been harmonized with magic. The Anri sword was in Claire's hand at the moment. Combined with the firearms they had found along the way, they had enough combat power. At least those mutant creatures that looked quite difficult did not pose much of a hindrance to her at the moment.

There were dull banging sounds and chaotic roars coming from outside the gate behind her. The large group of mutant creatures that had been chasing Claire were blocked outside by the alloy gate. Although they were obviously unwilling, they had no choice but to retreat.

But Claire did not relax. She frowned slightly, feeling that there was some kind of dangerous atmosphere hidden in this hall.

Her feeling was indeed correct.

On the second floor of the hall, in a corner that Claire couldn't see, small pieces of liquid black areas were constantly emerging, and mutant leeches were emerging from them. They gradually gathered together, and then gradually formed a vague human figure, standing up from the ground.

Claire was the first to notice the "person" who suddenly appeared, and pointed the gun in her hand at it.

"…Welcome, young man."

After the leeches condensed into one, they turned into a human form. It looked like a handsome man with long hair who was only in his twenties. He stood on the edge of the second floor and spoke to Claire below:

"I'm glad you can come to this party."

Claire was startled.

Because she had seen the face of this "man" who suddenly appeared, and she had also heard what he said - in the secret department, there are the most detailed records of the biological and chemical incidents that past members have participated in, so the scene in front of her, Claire had read about it in Rebecca's file.

She hadn't noticed it when she was in the corridor before, because similar buildings were everywhere and there were many mutant creatures like that.

But she would never mistake the face of the man who appeared at this moment. That was James Marcus, the father of the T virus, when he was young.

Claire immediately understood everything: "Is this... a world from the past created based on Wesker's memories?"

Sure enough, what Marcus said next was almost the same as what Rebecca wrote in the record. He recounted his experience of being betrayed by Spencer and killed by Wesker and William, and expressed his desire for revenge on Umbrella and the world.

Claire understood halfway through what she heard that it was impossible to communicate with Marcus in front of her, and the scene here was just a replay of yesterday.

When "Marcus" shed his human form and turned into a giant leech monster that pounced towards her, Claire immediately dodged quickly to avoid the attack, then raised her gun and shot!

“Bang bang bang——!!”

……

At the same time, a battle was taking place in another layer parallel to the Arklay Research Institute.

The scenery here is a base covered by ice and snow. Due to the damage to the base itself, the polar cold winds poured in, making the environment almost unsuitable for human survival.

The Umbrella Antarctic Research Institute is also where Alexia, who developed the T-Veronica virus, is sleeping.

The one who was thrown here to pass the level was Leon.

The reason is not hard to guess. After all, Chris had already completed this dungeon once, so it was naturally impossible for him to play it for the second time.

But in the same way, Lyon had also read their mission records about the Antarctic base early on, and he knew very well what existed here.

So at this time, Leon had already carried Ye Ge all the way through and came to the final BOSS, Alexia who had just awakened, and fought with her.

Compared to Chris and Claire, Leon's biggest advantage is that his weapon Yege has independent consciousness, and has developed sufficient tacit understanding with him over so many years of fighting.

Although it will expose its yandere nature from time to time, it will not fail at the critical moment.

So with the assistance of Ye Ge, Leon can let it do many small things to save time and energy, such as letting Ye Ge fly to the other side of the broken bridge to open a mechanism so that he doesn't have to run several laps to solve the puzzle.

That's why his progress was quite fast.

If the area map that Wesker prepared for the four people was regarded as a copy, then Leon's advancement speed was obviously ahead of the others. Before Claire found the way to the waste treatment facility, he had already killed the boss at the end of the level.

Of course, Leon is unable to mobilize his energy now, and the magic power in Ye Ge's body cannot be used until the critical moment. So even with his rich experience, it is difficult for him to kill Alexia, who has almost perfectly integrated the T-Veronica virus, with just one sword.

Fortunately, Lyon now is like Li You back then, entering the dungeon with a strategy guide.

Alexia had mutated into a half-human, half-insect form, flapping her dragonfly-like wings and flying into the sky, attacking by swooping down quickly and manipulating her detached limbs below. Leon then threw Yege into the air, letting it defend itself against the attacks of the awakened Alexia, and Yege left cursing.

With Ye Ge in charge of the defense, Leon followed what was written in Chris, Claire and the others' reports and found the electromagnetic particle cannon installed in the Antarctic base as quickly as possible. After confirming that it was charged correctly, he aimed at Alexia.

"boom--!!"

A light blue light flashed, and after several consecutive shells, the Alexia mutant, which theoretically had the ability to destroy the world, was blasted into pieces by Leon, just like in the story back then.

Looking at Alexia being destroyed, Leon put down the electromagnetic cannon and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for your hard work. Your advancement speed is the fastest."

A blue halo appeared around him, and Edge's voice rang out, and Leon responded: "According to the inference, after clearing the past copies of this game, the next level should be unlocked, but there seems to be no movement now?"

Aggie didn't answer immediately, but waited for a moment before saying, "Now we have... they are here."

Leon raised his head suddenly, and saw a large liquid black area emerging in front of him. From it, first three slender black shadows, and then a huge body nearly three meters tall emerged one after another, revealing their true appearance. It was the "Eight-foot Lady" Aqina, and her three daughters.

Leon understood: "I see, after clearing the dungeon, the four lords are blocking the way? After dealing with them, we should be able to reach Wesker's location, right?"

Aiji responded: "Based on the structure of the Master's sea of ​​consciousness that I have currently mastered, this should be the case."

Leon raised his hand, and Ye Ge flew back by himself and was held by him: "Then pass this message to Li You and Chris... I will deal with these guys first."

As he said this, he was about to draw his sword, but Edge stopped him: "Wait, the new weapon is ready... take it."

Mrs. Hachisha and her daughters were still far away, so Leon subconsciously reached out to take it, and then saw a blue halo passing through his hand, and a heavy submachine gun with a retro shape fell into his hand.

"Chicago Typewriter?" Leon raised his eyebrows. "What is this round magazine...?"

Aiji smiled and said, "It's an infinite bullet accessory. I just made this after I cracked more of the rules of the Fungus Master's Sea of ​​Consciousness. I'd like you to test it out."

Leon also laughed: “That’s really convenient!”

He then looked at Madam Hachisha and her group in front of him and said, "Come and try my firepower net!"

As he pulled the trigger, the muzzle of the Chicago Typewriter began to spew out continuous tongues of flames!
"Da-da-da--!!"

……

Still in another domain at this level, the environment is the tropical rainforest of South America.

Chris holds a shield in his left arm, a rifle in his right hand, and a long black waterproof bag on his back. He is fighting against mutant creatures that resemble a hybrid of plants and humans that have emerged from the rainforest.

This is the local settlement in the rainforest, but there is no living person left. They have all turned into zombies and are besieging Chris.

Chris was holding a classic semi-automatic rifle, the same model he used to use. But the interesting thing was that this gun was not given to him by Edge, but was placed in the weapon box given by the fish-headed monster sent by Wesker when he just entered the dungeon.

After all, Wesker treats Chris differently...

But let’s not talk about that. The copy Chris is in is, of course, the original "Operation Javier", which is the mission that Klausa and Leon carried out together.

Wesker was indeed personally involved in both the Veronica incident and the Javier incident. Then he threw Leon into Chris's mission, and then threw Chris into Leon's mission, which can be regarded as a recycling of resources.

Unfortunately, the secret departments had already exchanged intelligence.

So Chris went straight to the BOSS venue.

Although there were small zombies blocking the way at this time, on the road Chris came from, there was already a mutant monster that looked like a combination of an aquatic creature and a dinosaur, lying there motionless.

This mutant creature, which was the boss in the original Javier incident, attacked Chris right after he entered the dungeon, and then...

Then he was hit by Chris with his arm shield until he passed out.

...Well, don't ask why Chris can do this without any strength. After all, even in the original game, he can hammer a 40-ton boulder with his hands. It can be seen that the strength of Team K is probably the same as that of a certain green big guy next door. It is idealistic. There is no strongest, only stronger...

Considering that Leon's report mentioned that the mutant creature was actually Manuela's mother, Chris considered whether to show mercy.

But he soon realized that this was just a world of consciousness after all, and even in reality, he couldn't let go of the completely mutated BOW. So after knocking the mutant unconscious, Chris used the rifle given by Wesker to completely smash its head.

Then he rushed to the location of the drug lord Javier.

Although he had considered that with his current limited abilities, it would be difficult for him to deal with the twenty-meter-tall mutant monster that was the result of the fusion of Javier and the T-Veronica virus, Chris never backed down in the face of difficulties.

And it was at this time that Aggie also contacted him.

After learning that Chris had already obtained a handy weapon, but the enemy he was about to face was also the most difficult one known so far, Edge did not hesitate and immediately sent him an unlimited bullet magazine and three rocket launchers, including a special red-headed rocket launcher.

This is where the waterproof bag behind Chris comes from.

Edge's thought was simple: What, there's a big guy?
That's easy! Li You said that there is no biological boss that can't be dealt with by a single rocket launcher. If there is one, just fire two more.

Although Li You was obviously joking when he said this, looking back at the history of biochemicals, it seems that there are really few bosses who can resist this law...

Chris actually heard Li You say this half-jokingly, so when he saw Edge actually do it, he was quite amused.

But it must be said that direct fire suppression is really the best option to deal with Javier's mutant.

So Chris didn't hesitate, he put on his waterproof bag and rushed in the direction of the monster. Along the way, he either shot down any mutant monster that blocked his way with a burst of bullets or slammed it away with his shield.

"drink--!!"
