Survival in the game world starts with Resident Evil 2

Chapter 752: Fusion Product, Fungus Master's Nest

Secondary isolation area.

Although it is called an isolation zone, it is actually an entire indoor garden-like space that simulates the outside natural environment, and the landscape is quite beautiful.

But on the other hand, the quarantine area is not called that for nothing. In the basement garden, among the lush vegetation, and on the outer walls of the area, the highest level of isolation and even security facilities are arranged.

This special area was built recently with the original intention of isolating some special infected subjects. Living here at present are the surviving Eden Project test subjects, brother and sister No. 1 and No. 2.

Of course, according to their own wishes, they should now be called Orland and Irina.

Previously, in order to maintain their collapsing bodies, Li You took out the Dragon Yin Crystal and gave it to them, allowing them to move in a state of one sleeping and the other awake, and connected to each other. Because of their own special characteristics, they were then placed in the newly completed second-level isolation area.

And not long ago, the newly arrived Evelin was also sent here.

Now, when Li You came here, he saw the younger brother of the siblings, Subject No. 2, Orland, happily playing games with her.

As for how to play the game specifically, it's probably that Orland uses the poisonous bone spurs he grows on himself to stab Evelyn continuously like throwing knives, and then Evelyn happily dodges. This kind of childlike game is something everyone has played when they were young.

Evelyn was visibly happy. When Li You appeared, she immediately looked at him with a look of fear and resentment... and then she was stabbed in the shoulder by Orland because of her distraction.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!"

Orland's bone spur or bone blade was actually very small, but when it pierced Evelin's arm, she suddenly let out a sharp and high-pitched scream that seemed to tear the eardrums of others!
Then she saw two more flying knives coming towards her, and she had to suppress her scream and continue dodging.

Li You was quite happy to watch, so he deliberately watched for a while longer. After Evelin had several more bone blades stuck in her back and fell down powerlessly, he stepped forward and said, “I feel relieved to see that you two are getting along so well.”

Orland also looked at him. In terms of actual age, this child was not much older than Evelin, but she had a maturity that surpassed her peers. At this time, he looked at Li You with a half-smile in his eyes: "You sent her here, didn't you, so that we can educate her? Don't worry, she can't run away here, and she will understand everything soon."

Li You looked at Evelin, who was being carried away by two beautiful women after she collapsed from exhaustion, and shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense! I just want you to get along in a friendly way. Unless she refuses to accept my kindness, I can use unconventional means."

Orland shrugged, "Then she just won't accept it. You can tell by looking at the records."

A beautiful woman with purple hair stood beside Li You and handed him an electronic record. He took it without thinking and began to read it.

This woman is one of the persons in charge of this area, and is mainly responsible for taking care of the lives of Orlando and his sister. As for why she is capable of taking charge of such an important task, the answer is actually very simple.

Li You quickly read through the records and understood: "So after she came here, she refused to cooperate, vented her anger crazily, and attacked the staff? And she came here to take people's lives?"

The woman nodded. "That's right... Fortunately, the one who was attacked was one of ours, so nothing happened. However, I still adjusted her treatment according to your wishes."

"I see, then you did nothing wrong."

Li You expressed his approval.

Since Evelin maintained this attitude while their side continued to show goodwill, there was no need to reason with her.

Let Orland and the others train them well, use them if they can, and discard them if they can't. This will be just like revenge for Ethan's family in the original world line, and Li You can also vent his anger.

The woman bowed slightly, saluted in a posture that seemed a little strange in this world, and then stepped back.

Orland watched her leave, and was somewhat curious: "The people you arranged here look and smell like humans, but they can actually display incredible abilities when they encounter any situation. When Evelin suddenly attacked, I thought it was too late to save her, but she was actually pinned down by those two people."

"And I always feel that I can sense something similar in them... Can I ask who they are?"

Li You smiled and said, "Only in your curiosity do you act like someone your own age."

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it." Orland didn't insist.

"There's nothing that can't be said." Li Youze said.

These staff members "with special powers" here are actually night demons, or to be more precise, specially bred flower demons - that is, special night demons that absorbed Torina's power and mutated in the Ring of Magic world. They are also the strongest night demons at this stage, possessing high physical abilities, high intelligence, and weak innate magic power.

The purple-haired woman just now was actually the first flower demon born in the core of the Night Demon's lair.

There is no need to wonder why they can travel across the world. They can't, but the core of the Night Demon's Nest has had the function of storing the consciousness and memory of the Night Demons as early as the previous upgrades. As long as the consciousness of a specific individual is "downloaded" during gestation, he can reappear.

So yes, some of the abilities of the Night Stalker's Nest Core are very similar to those of the Fungus Master, except that the Nest Core is more specialized in explosive troops, and consciousness storage is just a derivative ability of Aggie, the Night Stalker Queen, while the Fungus Master has almost reached the limit in terms of consciousness network.

The similarities between the two are the reason why Edge was able to connect the two networks with the help of Yuzu, and it is also the capital for them to try to merge the Fungus Master with the core of the Night Demon's Lair.

There is nothing to hide, because even if Li You didn't say it, Orland has seen too much in this area.

Just as I was about to give a brief explanation, another figure slowly walked out from the other side.

It was a tall figure, wearing simple clothes, but with a peculiar temperament, giving people a hazy feeling. At first glance, her face seemed a little unreal.

This is Irina, Eden Subject No. 1 and Orland's sister.

She and Orland were twins, less than half an hour apart, but now she looks like a young woman, which was also the sin caused by Radames.

However, both siblings have accepted who they are now and have no complaints about the current situation. They all know that Trasever wants to help them.

Of course, the most critical question now is, how did Irina wake up?

When Orland saw this, he immediately rushed over nervously: "Sister! Why are you up? Didn't you say you need to rest for a while longer?"

Another female flower demon followed her and said, "Don't worry, we have confirmed that her body can support this level of activity, so we let her out." Orland was relieved at this time, but he still stood beside Irina nervously. He walked in front of them, looked at the two of them carefully, and then nodded: "Indeed, your condition is basically stable."

He used his magic power to investigate and confirmed that Irina's body was basically stable.

Irina also spoke at this time: "...I haven't thanked you in person for such a long time...Thank you for saving my sister and me, we are very grateful."

Her voice, like her appearance, was hazy, as if covered by a veil. This unique feeling was not an illusion, but a characteristic of Irina's current body and part of her ability.

But of course her ability had no effect on Li You. Li You looked at her and nodded, saying, "Your body is now being reshaped with the help of the power of the mold, and you can now be awake and move around with Orland. But I will not take back the Dragon's Crystal for the time being, as it will also help maintain your physical condition."

"You don't have to be so serious. We were, and are, in a cooperative relationship with you and your brother. We just get what we need."

Irina insisted: "It's a cooperation in name, but in reality, it's obvious that we get much more. Orlando is young and naive, and I, as his sister, can't do this."

Orland's face twitched and he whispered, "Sister!"

Irina ignored him.

Li You smiled: "Okay. But there's still no need to thank me. As long as you do your job well, there will always be a place for you here."

Irina bowed again, and then made a gesture to lead the way: "You are mainly here to see the Fungus Master, right? Please follow me."

She then, together with the flower demon beside her, led Li You and Orland to the deepest part of the area.

At the deepest part of the second-level isolation area, Li You saw an exceptionally huge and strange nest.

The appearance of this nest is somewhat similar to the most primitive Night Demon's nest. It is quite large, deeply sunken into the underground of the core area, and spreads out in all directions.

In the center of the nest, lying there was the original form of the fungus master, but its size had become much smaller. However, its total length was still over three meters.

The main body of the fungus is closely connected with the surrounding nests, almost indistinguishable from each other. It is also breathing slowly and its condition is also perfect.

The scene before them was the result of Yuzu and Edge's attempt to fuse the Fungus Master with the Night Demon's Nest Core.

——To put it bluntly, the fusion was successful, and more successful than expected.

But something unexpected happened.

The main body of the fungus master and the core of the Night Demon's nest do have a very good compatibility, but the core of the nest does not seem to like the power of the fungus master. When faced with the fungus master that was delivered to its doorstep, it simply absorbed its power and used it to improve itself, but in the end refused to merge with it.

In short, it means to take all the responsibility and not admit it.

Yuzu and Edge's attempts were fruitless, and the fungus master was sucked weak, so Edge thought of another way.

She directly bred some flower demons and sensory night demons, and then gave them a task - to use some materials taken from the core of the night demon's nest to build a nest in the secondary isolation area.

Yes, it was a normal version of the Night Demon's Lair. For the Night Demons, building a nest was also one of their instincts. With the help of the Flower Demon, they quickly built a new advanced nest based on the core components of the Night Demon's Lair.

Afterwards, Yuzu and Aggie brought the main body of the fungus here and tried to merge it with this nest.

Without the core's resistance, the fusion went smoothly, and what was finally born was this unique nest.

It should be noted that although this nest was built separately, it is still naturally connected to the core because it uses parts disassembled from the core nest.

After a period of coordination, the two nests finally formed a structure of one main and one secondary, with the core side as the main and the fungus master side as the secondary, and they could connect with each other through the spiritual network.

Yes, the most important spiritual network function was successfully absorbed by the Night Demon's Nest Core, and some of the characteristics of the mold were naturally absorbed as well.

As for the Fungus Master's Nest, not only was its power sucked away, but it also became a vassal of the Nest Core in the newly formed system. People with high authority in the Night Demon's Nest Core naturally had the power to suppress the Fungus Master.

From this perspective, it can be said to be the best of both worlds.

However, the most crucial point is that although the core and the fungus master have formed a system, they are not strongly bound. When Li You wants to leave this world, the core of the Night Demon's Nest will still go with him, but the fungus master's nest can remain in this world and operate on its own.

In this way, the power of the fungus master is really utilized perfectly, without any waste.

So now, back to the original question, Evelyn alone is not of much value to Li Youzhen.

Evelyn's E-series mold is unique, and the associated consciousness space is also different from that of the fungus owner. It can be regarded as a semi-independent small server.

However, now, the fungus master itself has become a small server outside the core of the Night Demon's Lair, and your Evelynn's E-series mold is really only of research reference value.

After the fungus master merged into the current fungus master's nest, its fungal characteristics still exist, and they are easier to control.

This made the secret department's research leap forward a lot. Mia had been working overtime for some time because of this. The final results were also varied. One of the most important results was the research on the use of mold in medical fields.

Treating and maintaining Irina's body is the most important achievement at present. Otherwise, she and Orlando would still be in a state where only one of them can be awake.

At this time, Irina explained to Li You: "The current state of the Fungus Master Nest is very stable, and its consciousness is also suppressed by the core of the superior nest. It will not disobey our instructions in any way."

Li You nodded with satisfaction, and checked the status of the Fungus Master again. After confirming that there would be no problem, he looked at Irina and said, "You now also have high authority from the Fungus Master. How difficult do you think it would be to find an ordinary consciousness that was absorbed by the Fungus Master a hundred years ago?"
