Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 353: The power is restored and water leaks from the bottom?
The "Greyhound (Veltro)" organization was founded around 2000 by a group of Italian nationalists. Its core idea is to oppose urban development.

Because of their ruthless and brutal behavior, they made a name for themselves in the industry soon after their rise.

But precisely because of this, some people with ulterior motives also targeted them.

Within a few months of the Greyhound organization's founding, they received an anonymous grant that allowed them to rapidly grow in power.

Although its leader, Jack Norman, is not without doubts, they started from the ground up as Greyhounds. It can be said that they lack everything but money. Of course, it is impossible to refuse this funding.

As a result, the Greyhound organization gradually fell into Morgan's net.

……

BSAA Headquarters.

After watching the video, O'Brien "thought it over" and finally decided to send two other generals under his command to the "Greyhound Base" in Northern Europe to investigate the intelligence there.

Of course, this is only in name. In fact, Raymond has already installed the FBC's internal system in that base. O'Brien just wanted to take this opportunity to let his people crack the system and obtain the information hidden by Morgan.

Li You looked at the Greyhound Declaration video that had started to replay on the screen.

……

The Ultimate Abyss has both good looks and strength, and Li You is very interested in it. Since they are all involved in the plot of the apocalypse, this final BOSS must not be let go, and must be captured to give Yuzi an "extra meal".

The person he sent was another pair of elite agents in the BSAA, Quint Seacham and Keith Lumley.

Li You said: "I just sent a message to O'Brien, and he also asked us to continue searching the ship and find the Greyhound. Follow-up reinforcements are on the way."

But that will happen later. The most important thing now is to get rid of Morgan of FBC and catch the mole of BSAA.

“…That’s all I have to say and I wish you good luck.”

When the two received the mission, they were still complaining and bickering with each other, saying that they didn't like Xue. But they didn't know that O'Brien had already planned for them to go on this mission.

O'Brien had given them the task before, to search the cruise ship and find the secret that both Greyhound and the FBC were interested in.

"There can be no further delay, we must find that guy right away!"

After watching the Greyhound video, Jill looked solemn and said to Li: "We have to contact O'Brien and tell him about this."

The goal of both is to find the "missing" Jill, Li You and their group.

But Raymond on the side pointed to the control computer and said: "If you are referring to BSAA, then I don't think there is a need to bother. This video seems to have been sent there simultaneously."

Of course, this video was not just recorded. According to Raymond, it was an old video he found in the ship's database, but the original Greyhound had not been released, so he just used it.

“So, in order to keep my job, I’m going to go do my own thing now.

"Oh, one last tip: the actual space on this ship is much smaller than what was drawn on the drawing. Where did the missing space go?

Jill understood immediately: "...It seems that the greyhound on the ship has been staring at us."

Of course, this "phantom tyrant" is not a real tyrant, but a special mutated creature, which is just somewhat similar to the tyrant. Its official name should be called Ultimate Abyss, indicating its status as the strongest mutant in the T-Abyss virus system.

Because the mole in BSAA has not yet been found out, they must give the mole a sense of urgency, and blocking communications is the most effective way to create a sense of urgency.

Otherwise, he would have to change his clothes and record a section.

Li You's focus was not on the video itself or the virus, but on the bald man.

If I remember correctly, he is the final enemy of Revelation 1, who can mutate into a powerful BOSS commonly known as the "Phantom Tyrant".

Quint, who has a shaved head and wears glasses, is a computer whiz and technician who participated in the development of the "Origin" scanner. His partner Keith is a thin man who, although he doesn't look like it, is actually an elite combatant.

In mid-air, a BSAA helicopter was flying towards the location where Jill and Li You's signals last appeared. On the other side, an armed speedboat took another route and was also heading towards the same destination.

On the Mediterranean Sea.

Raymond spread his hands: "Don't look at me, I'm just a little agent. Morgan has the final say on FBC, and he won't tolerate any behavior that goes against him."

……

Gil nodded when he heard this, and glanced at Raymond again, but Raymond immediately said: "The greyhound is indeed a serious threat. Unfortunately, I have another mission here, so I won't be with you."

The various teams do not know each other's status and progress. This is a great test for the inner ghost's psychological quality and is the most suitable layout condition.

"By the way, this is for you."

These two are a pair of funny brothers who always quarrel with each other on weekdays, but they can complete the tasks excellently when it comes to carrying out the tasks and are trusted by O'Brien.

As for the other BSAA members, O'Brien only needs to insist that Jill and Li You are still out of touch.

Jill took the key, looked at Raymond deeply, said no more, and turned to Li You: "...let's go."

Raymond threw over a silver key decorated with an anchor, "This should be able to open doors in some areas. I won't be able to use it. You can take it. This is the greatest help I can provide you."

Next, it depends on how Morgan will react.

Quint and Case were noisy, but they still knew that the situation was urgent, so they immediately put on combat equipment and headed towards the Nordic mountains.

Of course, Li You can always contact O'Brien, but this does not affect him.

This trick is called alerting the snake, and it is aimed at Morgan's old fox. In this case, Li You can maintain contact with O'Brien, but it will be a more urgent threat, which can stimulate Morgan even more - of course, the premise is that he really has a spy on his side.

Queen Zenobia, emergency communications room.

Jill looked at him and frowned: "As the largest anti-biochemical organization in the world, would the FBC choose to remain indifferent under such circumstances?"

What's more, compared to the original game, Li You and Jill's combat power is also very sufficient, so there is no need to worry about danger - of course, Chris and Claire, who are coming, don't know about this, but they can only hide it for now. them.

From now on, the biochemical world will be a basic world. Li You doesn't intend to let this place be messed up by companies and organizations that engage in viruses. Then there will be no peace every time he comes back.

Therefore, under this premise, strengthening the strength of teammates and allies has become the first choice.

After getting rid of the BSAA mole here, Li You also planned to go back and clean up the inside of Trasever.

"Let's go."

Li You and Jill left the emergency communications room and went to the lobby outside to discuss countermeasures.

"...There is definitely something wrong with the FBC."

Jill told the truth as soon as she opened her mouth.

Seeing Li You thoughtful, she added: "We came here to search and rescue Chris, but the FBC ran to this cruise ship that was used as an offensive weapon by Greyhound in the past even before us."

"Forget it, they don't seem to be here to search for greyhounds! Then why did Morgan send people here?"

Li You nodded: "It's indeed suspicious."

But Jill sighed again: "Unfortunately, the BSAA does not have the same authority as the FBC. Unless evidence is found, suspicion is empty talk."

"Now let's focus on searching this cruise ship and find the Greyhound. Raymond's hint seems to be useful."

Li You deeply recognized Jill's self-awareness. It's good if his teammates have high awareness, which saves him the effort of persuading.

"Let's contact Parker first. It's time for them to arrive at the bridge." Li Youyou said.

Jill naturally agreed and immediately called Parker.

"...Hello? Jill?"

Parker quickly responded, "I was just trying to contact you. We just arrived at the bridge!"

"How's the situation over there?" Jill asked.

"very bad!"

Parker immediately complained, "Even if the deck is full of mutant creatures, there is not a single living person in the bridge, only monsters who want to eat meat and drink blood!"

"There is no trace of the Greyhound here, and the bridge's positioning, communication equipment and consoles have been destroyed! In other words, not only are we unable to report the position to the headquarters, we are also unable to adjust the course of the cruise ship. , you can only go with the flow!”

"...It seems that we can only wait for rescue." Gil frowned slightly, "Fortunately, Li You can still contact the headquarters. O'Brien said that he will send support soon."

"Really, that would be great." Parker said immediately, "otherwise it would be problematic for us to even return to the headquarters."

Here, Jill was in contact with Parker, and Li You also called V quietly.

"How's it going over there? Did you observe anything?"

V replied: "Yes. I found some valuable ancient paintings on this ship. How much do you think I could make if I took them back to Night City and sold them?"

Li You: "... Let's talk more seriously."

V: "Well, in my opinion, Parker's character is relatively simple, and he is adaptable, but he is definitely not a character suitable for intrigues with others."

Li You understood: "You mean, he shouldn't be a spy?"

V did not hesitate: "I think if Morgan can send Parker to be a spy, then this old man can just wash his neck and prepare to surrender. With his eyes and IQ, he will never be able to defeat us. He probably wants to deceive Jack." It’s all quite annoying.”

Li You: "...Okay."

Let me ask for Brother Jack, are you polite?

But he still believed in V's judgment. After all, she was from the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department. Shouldn't catching spies be her specialty?
Although the way agents catch spies in 2076 is different from the biochemical world in 2005.

So, let's rule out Parker's suspicion, and the current suspect is only Jessica.

Li You also vaguely remembered that although the ending was reversed, it was true that Jessica had problems.

But just knowing it is useless, there must be evidence. After all, BSAA is not his decision.

Just as it happened, according to O'Brien's summons, Chris and Jessica, who came by helicopter, were about to arrive.

In fact, Claire was one step ahead of them, because Chris was still in the Nordic mountains at the time, and Claire also knew that her brother probably didn't want her to participate, so he borrowed the BSAA's armed speedboat and set off first. However, due to the bad weather, the water route was still not as fast as the air route. In the end, it was the Chris duo who arrived first.

There is no need to tell Jill and Parker that it is Raymond's task to welcome Chris.

At this time, Jill and Parker had already exchanged information with each other. After listening to Jill's explanation, Parker suggested: "So now we have to find the greyhound. In this case, I suggest we split up. I will first Go restore the ship's energy and continue your search over there."

Gill looked at the ship structure diagram and said, "Leave it to us to restore the power. We are closer here, and Li You has the key."

"The bridge is connected to the cabin. You can search there. Remember to look for any hidden areas. Raymond shouldn't be just talking."

"Okay." Parker didn't have any objections.

The plan had been agreed upon, so Li You said to Jill: "Without further delay, let's go to the bottom cabin as soon as possible."

Of course Jill agreed.

"Oh, by the way." Before Jill hung up the communication, Parker added, "There's one more thing. Remember those balls we saw in the cabin, stuck on the walls or ceiling? With carapace, A bit like a large barnacle?"

"Those are also infected creatures. We just ran into them when we came from the deck... They will jump down and attack you when you get close enough, so be careful!"

"...That kind of thing, I understand." Jill replied, "I wish you good luck!"

——In the bridge of the cruise ship, Parker cut off the communication.

He looked at the gloomy night sky outside. The wind was blowing loudly on the sea, and the rain had not completely stopped.

In this kind of weather, it would take a lot of effort for the rescue team to arrive as soon as possible.

"Chris, Jessica..." Parker murmured, "Where are you now?"

After a pause, he turned to V again.

V is also fully armed, with a katana hanging on her waist, a SOR-22 rifle on her back, and playing with the short sword "Nirvana" in her hand.

Although V looks too young, Parker will never look down on her. On the way here with V just now, he had already seen V's incredible fighting power...as well as the powerful functions of some of her prosthetics.

Although Parker was full of doubts about this, he naturally would not ask more questions at this time. In any case, Li You and V are both comrades-in-arms and trustworthy at this time, which is enough.

V wasn't just standing there in a daze. While she was playing with Nirvana subconsciously, she was actually scanning the remaining fragments on the ground with her prosthetic eyes.

The mutated creatures that Parker just mentioned that would cling to the walls were what they found in the bridge control room.

When V passed under it, the guy didn't react at all. It wasn't until Parker passed by that it suddenly jumped down, revealing its almost humanoid body, and waved its tentacle-like arms in an attempt to catch Parker.

However, its attack speed was still not fast enough. V in front turned around and activated Si'an Westan on the spot, raised Nirvana, and accurately pierced the monster's head with a flying knife, then pulled it out and killed it All limbs were severed.

Parker didn't react at all. He only saw that one second, the monster was still lunging at him with its claws and fangs, and the next second it was reduced to pieces, with V standing among the remains. The Parkers were dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize that the bizarre rumors about Li You and his companions that he had occasionally heard before were not only not made up of nothing, but were even restrained.

Of course, V didn't know what Parker was thinking. He was more observing the monster at that time.

Without the protection of the hard shell on its back, this mutant creature is actually very fragile. However, looking at the sharp claws on its limbs and the mouthparts in its mouth, it is obvious that once caught by it, it will have a completely different ending.

After understanding this, Parker couldn't help but feel scared for a while - luckily he had V's help.

The remains of this monster will also explode, but it has no lethality, it will just blow up its own body. So at this time, it only had tiny pieces of meat left on the ground, and V didn't sweep out much.

But she didn't give up. She was very interested in the viruses in this world.

It was Parker who spoke, breaking her concentration.

"...Hey, V, there's a new mission." Parker said, "We have to search the cabin to see if there are any traces of greyhounds."

V then turned his head: "Okay, let's go."

When communicating with people other than Li You, she always maintains a relatively cold attitude.

Parker was used to it, so he said, "Let me look at the map...oh, this is the way to go."

The two immediately walked along the stairs in the bridge control room and headed to the cabin one after another.

……

In the central hall, Li You, Jill and Yuzi had also returned to the VIP room of the casino along the way, and then took the maintenance passage back to the elevator leading to the bottom cabin.

By the way, when passing by the middle section of the pipeline, Li You also remembered the origin of the fragments he saw on the ground before, and asked Yuzi: "Are these the fragments of mutants that will adhere to the wall?"

Yuzi also nodded and replied: "Yes, they are. They are very annoying and they were torn apart by me."

The name of this mutated creature is called Wall Bubble, which means "bubble on the wall." It's very appropriate in terms of appearance, but it doesn't sound good at all. In the game, their health bars are not long, but their special attacks have the ability to kill players with one hit.

Li You only vaguely remembered these mutated creatures, but it was very easy to discover them, so just pay attention.

So, they returned all the way to the maintenance area. Li You used the key he found from Rachel to activate the engineering elevator leading to the bottom cabin, and the three of them then slowly descended to the bottom of the cabin.

"Buzzing—"

However, when the three people came to the bottom cabin, they discovered that water started to seep here.

The elevator area was okay, but when they left the room and headed to the control room on the ground floor along the road, they found that water up to their thighs had accumulated in the low area on the road.

Jill was very surprised: "Is there a crack in the hull!?"

Li You then remembered this plot: "...Let's go to the control room!"

The three of them walked through the water-filled corridor all the way to the bottom cabin control room. Fortunately, the floor here is relatively high, it has not been flooded, and the control center can still operate normally.

But the bad news is that the three large screens in the control center are all flashing dazzling red lights, and the voice of the emergency broadcast echoes in the control room:
"Warning! There is water seepage in the bottom tank! Please activate the water barrier!"

"Error, the gate cannot operate in a power outage state. Please restore power in the engine room!"

Gil: "We have to find the engine room as soon as possible!"

Li You also nodded: "Let's go!"

He rummaged around in the control room here and found a bottom cabin map. After entering it into the system, he saw the 3D image.

"Yes, let's go this way!"

The three people pushed out the door from the other side of the control room. The passage forward was also soaked in water.

Forget it, the stagnant water would have affected their movement speed at most. However, the problem is that the creatures infected by the T Abyss Virus are basically aquatic specializations!

Li You and others entered the passage. Before they had taken two steps, there was an extremely subtle sound of water splashing from the corner in front.

The voice was so small and so ordinary that even Li You didn't notice the abnormality immediately.

But then, he immediately saw several half-meter-long strange fish that were almost identical to the mutated piranhas in the Greyhound video, swimming out of the corner with splashes of water and rushing towards them!

"boom--!!"

Li You and Jill shot without hesitation.

Although the mutant fish is large, swims fast, and can even walk on the ground, it is only the most basic virus mutant creature. It poses little threat to Li You and the others and can be easily eliminated.

However, none of them noticed that just as the mutant fish rushed in one after another, a vague shadow lurked in the water and swam near everyone.

The next moment, while Li You was reloading, a gray-white monster with a roughly human shape suddenly jumped out from under his feet, opened its jointed limbs and opened its mouth to bite him!
"boom--!!!"

Although he was caught off guard, with Li You's reflexes, it was naturally impossible for him to be hit by them. He retreated on the spot to avoid the attack, and then the muzzle of the loaded hand cannon spurted flames, instantly opening a large hole in the monster's body.

But at the same time, two more monsters of the same kind jumped out from behind, bypassed Li You, and headed towards Jill in the middle of the team!

Li You immediately took out his knife, pierced the water monster closer to him, and nailed it to the bottom of the water. As for the remaining one, Jill was not a vegetarian. She immediately ducked down and nimbly dodged the water monster's attack. Then she raised her gun and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
"boom--!"

The M3 shotgun sprayed out large pellets, blowing the gray-white water monster away and falling back into the water.

It was smart and wanted to run away when it saw that the situation was bad, but Yuzu had already raised his hand, and the tentacles stretched out from his arms, quickly reached into the water, tightly entangled the water monster, and pulled it out of the water!
Only then did Jill see the true face of these water monsters.

They are white all over, and their abdomens are three pairs of arthropod-like arms that are huddled together and arranged neatly. The two legs on their lower bodies are very slender, obviously not designed for activities on the shore.

However, the biggest feature of these water monsters is the layer of carapace that grows from their heads. This streamlined layer of carapace covers their entire back. They look like marine creatures such as horseshoe crabs, but also look like women. long hair.

Seeing this kind of monster that was obviously born to move in the water, Jill was stunned and subconsciously looked at Li You: "They are..."

Li You pondered for a moment: "I remember they seemed to be... mutated after women were infected with the T-Abyss virus. They are aquatic and can move very quietly in the water."

This kind of monster is called a sea skimmer, and its characteristic is that it can move silently in the water and launch surprise attacks on prey, but Li You can't remember their names.

After hearing this, Jill looked at the flooded passage and couldn't help but said: "...It seems that this section of the road is not going to be easy to walk on."

Due to the power outage, the lights in the cabin were dim, and the water in the channel was deep enough, making it difficult to see clearly the activities of the creatures in it.

Li You thought for a while and said, "I have an idea."

——A moment later, Yuzu walked out from around the corner.

His huge body was extremely conspicuous to the mutated creatures moving in the water. At that moment, the mutated strange fish, the sea crawlers, and even a few drippers soaked in the water all moved on hearing the wind and gathered towards Yuzi!

But Yuzu neither evaded nor seemed to have any intention of fighting. Instead, she slowly raised her hands in front of her.

The next moment, a fine golden current suddenly appeared on his arm, and Yuzu leaned over and put her hands into the water!
"Zila——!!"

The golden arc spread instantly, covering the entire water surface in the channel!

Under the stimulation of the electric current, the bodies of the surrounding mutated fish, sea crawlers and drippers suddenly stopped and twitched, and then were completely electrocuted by the electric current until their whole bodies were scorched black. They fell down irresistibly and turned into corpses floating on the water.

But Yuzi refused to stop and continued to output bioelectricity until it was confirmed that there were no more mutated creatures underwater in the channel, then she raised her hand.

On the other side, at the door of the control room, Li You smiled at Jill who was stunned next to him:
"It's all cleaned up now."
