Chapter 754: The Family in the Hand

A few more days passed.

On this day, on the outskirts of Tall Oaks, United States, an internal meeting was taking place in the basement of another ancient manor belonging to the Simmons family.

This was the highest-level meeting within the family. Almost all the important personnel from the two factions and more than a dozen elders were present. The current head of the family, Derek C. Simmons, even showed up in person to preside over the meeting.

Of course, as the so-called host, he only made a brief speech at the beginning, and then his agents reported on the recent family affairs.

These are also the procedures of the family meeting, but they are just regular meetings. In this meeting with all the important people, it is obviously impossible to do only the same work as the regular meetings.

When Agent Simmons' speech turned from work report to future prospects, one of the elders finally couldn't hold it anymore and stood up and shouted, "Enough! We are not here to listen to this nonsense! Drake, stand up. I want to ask you on behalf of the elders how to account for the losses you have caused to the family because of your selfishness!"

However, facing the elder's harsh questioning, Simmons just sat in the main seat, motionless, and didn't even look at the elder, but just stared in the direction of the entrance.

The elder immediately felt insulted: "Drake! How dare you be so arrogant? Even your father would not dare to be so rude to us!"

Simmons seemed to be awakened at this time. He glanced at him sideways, thought for a moment, and said, "The last elder will be here soon. If you have any opinions about me, how about leaving it until then?"

The conservative elders and those who opposed Simmons exchanged glances with each other, feeling vaguely uneasy.

There was indeed a vacancy in the elders' seat at this time. It was the most respected elder among the conservatives, and his power within the family was second only to Simmons. His absence was not because he was unable to attend, but because he intended to use this opportunity to protest against Simmons.

The elder who had made the difficult remarks earlier had also agreed with that person to act in this way.

But the problem is, even they don't know when that person will arrive, so how would Simmons know?
Just as the elders were puzzled, footsteps were heard outside the meeting place, and a familiar old voice said, "Drake! Are you speaking rudely to the elders again?"

As the words that clearly carried the meaning of an elder fell, an old man with silver hair, extremely old but strong steps, walked into the venue, surrounded by two sturdy bodyguards and a beautiful female secretary.

"...I have reminded you since you were a child not to be rude to the elders. It seems that you have not listened to my teachings at all. If your dead father saw you like this, he would be disappointed!"

Such inquiries were obviously full of malice. In the past, Simmons would have been angry, but he did not dare to lose his temper. After all, the elder's qualifications were indeed there.

But this time, Simmons still had no expression. After seeing this person walk into the hall, he just nodded inexplicably: "Now everyone is here."

All the elders, including the old man who had just come in, were puzzled when they heard such a sentence. The main reason was that Simmons' voice had completely changed at this time and it no longer sounded like his own voice.

The next moment, Simmons suddenly stomped his feet lightly, and then everyone felt the ground tremble slightly, and then saw bony tentacles breaking out of the ground!

The waving tentacles were extremely fast, and they immediately tied up all the elders sitting at the table and lifted them off the ground!
Everyone present was shocked. Two tentacles also attacked the old man who had just entered the room. However, his bodyguards were very skilled and reacted quickly. One of them pushed the female secretary towards the attacking tentacles, and then protected his employer and retreated quickly. The other pulled out a pistol and used American Iai at "Simmons".

like water off a duck's back.

The bodyguard's magazine-emptying technique had no effect on Simmons. The bullets hit his body, face and even eyes, but they were deformed and bounced away powerlessly, failing to cause any harm.

The bodyguard who was protecting his employer's escape did not succeed in fulfilling his duty. The tentacles chasing them casually slapped the female secretary away, then split into three and tied them all up.

The old man who was suspended in the air struggled a few times, but when he found it was useless, he looked at Simmons, who was walking towards him with the tentacles extending into the ground behind him, in shock and anger: "What on earth did you do!? Are you... Simmons?"

At this point, there was naturally no need to disguise himself anymore. "Simmons'" appearance began to change rapidly. In the blink of an eye, everything from his facial shape to his clothing had changed.

Looking at the man standing in front of him, the old man was also stunned: "Are you... that Li You?"

Li You, the "Hero of Raccoon City", was a minor character who was promoted by the family in name only, at least that's what the family thought. So if it was still the same as before, the elder wouldn't have known Li You at all. It was only recently that Li You's name appeared more and more frequently in the family's reports that the noble remembered his appearance.

But even though he was recognized, the man in front of him shook his head and said with a calm expression and a voice without any waves: "I am not, Li You."

Elder: “?”

Before he understood why "Li You" denied his identity, he felt a slight pain on his neck. The tentacle that was wrapped around him had pierced his neck with its sharp tip and injected some kind of venom into his body. The elder immediately lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, there were bursts of gunfire and fighting sounds outside the hall, but they soon died down. Then, a handsome male flower demon walked in and said respectfully to "Li You": "All the guards have been controlled, and we are waiting for your instructions."

Li You nodded, and without saying anything more, he exerted a little force, and the tentacles behind him lifted up, and the part buried underground completely broke out of the ground. He turned around, picked up the elders who were trapped tightly and hanging in the air, and said: "According to Li You's arrangement, inject them with the virus."

Naturally, the person who looks exactly like Li You is Youzi.

Long before leaving the biochemical world last time, Youzi had already acquired the ability to change her appearance to a limited extent. When necessary, she could pretend to be Li You and make him look real.

In addition, when he maintains his human body shape, unless he makes special adjustments, he will still look like Li You, so he usually wears a mask when he is active.

He is the person in charge of the operations at this family meeting. Apart from him, there are only a few flower demons to assist, and Leon, Shirley, and Hannigan are in contact at any time.

It's not that Li You doesn't care, it's really enough to have Yuzu around. Yuzu is very smart, but she hardly expresses her opinions, but she can achieve the requirements almost perfectly when executing tasks.

And recently, Yuzu's ability has just received the most critical and perhaps the final upgrade in terms of physical genes. That is, after experiments, he has successfully integrated the black light parasite with himself.

After the perfect fusion of the Black Light Parasite, Yuzu's physical abilities have undergone a new evolution. This is not a numerical enhancement, because the power level of today's biochemical world can no longer keep up. What is enhanced is his own abilities, characteristics, or mechanisms.

The characteristic of the blacklight parasite is its strong adaptability, which is manifested in its powerful deformation ability and evolutionary potential. However, the birth of the blacklight parasite also relied on the characteristics of many existing sources of infection in the biochemical world, which are also present in the body of grapefruit.

So after comprehensive consideration, the abilities that Yuzu gained after absorbing the black light parasite are, first of all, he can now change his body shape and appearance at will, and his various special physical abilities have been almost developed to the limit.

Secondly, now, except for those forms based on special powers, there will be no cooling time limit for Yuzu, and even the cooling time of those special forms has been greatly shortened. Of course, there is no need to use these abilities to deal with the defenseless family elders, so why did Li You send Yuzu here? It was mainly because of another reason.

After this strengthening, Yuzu became a little restless and seemed to be looking for an opportunity to try out her new ability, so she changed into someone else's appearance every day and walked around the secret department, resulting in several small-scale chaos in the department.

Because not only does Youzi COS someone else, he can also communicate with people normally, agree to work requests on behalf of others, and he will even actually help people complete these tasks... As a result, the final pair of the two main characters are both confused.

Then the matter was discovered and reported to Li You and Kara by An Qi.

After reading the report, both of them were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Faced with such a Youzi, Li You naturally would not blame him. Instead, after thinking about it, he simply gave him the task of dealing with the family and let him do it to his heart's content.

So Yuzu came here.

All the family elders were captured at one time. According to Li You's arrangement, Youzi injected all of them with the secret department's modified version of the virus and mutant mold, turning them into their own people in the true sense.

The main task was completed, but Youzi had not forgotten Li You's other request, so she asked the Flower Demon next to her, "Who has the information? Have you found it?"

The Flower Demon replied: "It has been confirmed that it was done by the elder faction that arrived last. The Blue Umbrella is basically under his control."

Yuzu was satisfied now: "That's it, it's done."

It is also easy to ask them what information they are referring to.

Two days ago, BSAA held a press conference to make public the results of its investigation into Sanlian Pharmaceuticals and Shenya Pharmaceuticals over this period of time.

The result, of course, is needless to say. After investigation by a specially organized investigation team, both companies were found to be deeply involved in BOW research and had close ties with the biochemical black market. The evidence is conclusive and both companies will pay the price for this.

After the press conference, public opinion against the two companies rose again around the world. Under the joint attack of government departments, other corporate organizations, and even the remaining member companies of the Pharmaceutical Federation, Sanlian suffered unbearable losses. While its own strength plummeted, it was forced to make a public statement to completely disband its pharmaceutical department.

Since then, although Sanlian still exists, it is already battered and battered, and can only survive. In addition, there is also Shen's Enterprise, which has been preparing for a long time, eyeing it covetously. Old man Shen Yunen is ready to completely dismantle Sanlian, the once behemoth.

As for Shenya Pharmaceutical, it was even worse off. Its size and influence were not as great as Sanlian Company. It collapsed directly under this blow, declared bankruptcy, and its remnants were divided up by its peers. This company is about to become history.

As for the remaining data of the two companies in biochemical research, they were left behind. These legacies of Tri-Union were mainly obtained by BSAA and Trasever, but as for Shenya Pharmaceutical, Trasever only got a part of it. The remaining many important contents unexpectedly fell into the hands of the reorganized Umbrella Company - Blue Umbrella.

Naturally, some internal groups of Uncle Sam are behind this, and the family is involved.

The family meeting that was scheduled at that time had not yet taken place, and now the factions within the family are still not unified. It was the conservative elders who facilitated this.

However, Simmons could not hide this, so it naturally reached Li You's ears. After learning that another part of Shenya Pharmaceutical's information fell into the hands of Lansan and the family, Li You was not worried at all.

In a few days, the family will be obedient - or should I say, isn't it done now?
Controlling all the family elders is equivalent to controlling this ancient and powerful organization. If Li You wants, he can already proclaim himself the emperor of the inner world of the biochemical world.

Of course, he had no interest in such a title. Controlling the family was just to better ensure the stability of the world - in this sense, his purpose was the same as the family's, but the ultimate goal was completely different.

Mission accomplished. Looking at the elders standing in a neat line in front of him, Youzi thought for a moment and gave an order: "Follow Li You's instructions and keep a low profile. Apart from preparing for the next presidential election, only maintain minimal activity in other matters."

The elders nodded in unison.

That was enough. After injecting them all with the modified virus and the new strain of mold, even if they were scattered all over the United States, Edge could connect them all at the same time through the fungus owner network.

So after Yuzu confirmed that everyone was completely infected, he knew that his mission had been completed, so he gave orders for them to leave and act on their own according to their past trajectory.

Then, Youzi reported to Li You that the mission was completed.

"... Well done!" Li You on the other end of the line nodded with great satisfaction after listening to Youzi's report, "I knew you'd be fine. Then, as I promised you before, you can move freely over there during this period of time - just remember not to cause any trouble."

Yuzu nodded as well, with a rare hint of excitement in his eyes. After hanging up the call, he looked at the flower demons next to him. After receiving their signal, Yuzu immediately changed his appearance, turning into a face that was only 20% similar to Li You and was generally unremarkable. Then he walked out of the underground area on his own and headed towards the nearest downtown area of ​​Gaoxiang City.

At this time in the secret department, Li You, who had just put away his smartphone, thought about the scene of Youzi blending in among ordinary people, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Since he is interested in human society, let him be.

After dealing with things over there, Li You reopened the system interface and looked at the effects of his two new titles.

"My work efficiency has improved a lot recently, and the plan is progressing more smoothly than expected. It seems that this title is really working?"

【Title: Wesker】

[Title bonus: The title holder's leadership is enhanced, the operational efficiency of the secret organization he leads is greatly improved, the interference the organization receives when conducting secret activities is greatly reduced, and the achievements of the organization will receive random bonuses.]

[Title: Biochemical Nemesis (Halo)]

[Title bonus: Title holders can actively choose one of the following characteristics as a permanent effect (adjustable at any time): 1. Increase damage to all biochemical mutants by 100%. 2. Have 100% infection resistance to all biochemical viruses. ]

[Note: This title has a group effect. The holder can authenticate the title sharer, and the shared object can enjoy 80% of the title effect. The upper limit of shared persons: (0/20). ]

[Note 2: The title holder can choose to activate the above two effects at the same time, but when they are activated at the same time, it will activate the side effect of severely restraining surrounding creatures, tools, etc.
