Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 354 The hidden laboratory on the cruise ship!
At around 23: that night, BSAA armed helicopters circled the Mediterranean Sea.

Because O'Brien did not give Chris and Claire the immediate location of the cruise ship to avoid getting involved, both parties could only go to the last location where Jill appeared before her positioning was "interrupted".

But unfortunately, when Chris and Jessica arrived first, there were only undulating waves on the sea, and the cruise ship had long disappeared.

"... Damn it!" Chris couldn't help but punch the side of the helicopter heavily, feeling a little anxious.

He was worried about what would happen to Jill (and Parker), and he was also thinking about Claire, who was also coming, and was afraid that she would also be involved in the incident.

He was so anxious that he even ignored Jessica's cold jokes and squatted in front of the portable computer again to start searching.

Fortunately, O'Brien's message came at this time, and he told Chris good news.

"Quint and Case found the location of the cruise ship in the Greyhound base!" O'Brien's tone was also a little excited. "I will send you the address. You go and take a look!"

"Got it!" Chris cheered up and immediately told the helicopter pilot the address, so the entire plane turned around and flew over there.

This time they didn't fly for too long, and sure enough they found a cruise ship floating quietly on the sea.

Chris was eager to save people, and without waiting for O'Brien to give orders, he took Jessica down to the apron at the bow of the ship.

Both of them had changed into waterproof combat suits at this moment. Chris's overall style had not changed much, but Jessica wore a unique diving suit under the combat jacket.

Although this diving suit is designed to cover the head, for some reason, there is only one trouser leg, and the right side is not covered at all.

But it's a pity that although Jessica put on this diving suit and swayed in front of Chris intentionally or unintentionally, Chris, who could only see Jill and his sister, and at most half a Li You, was still gorgeous. He ignored her and said without looking back: "Let's go! Enter the cabin!"

Facing Chris's unshakable body of steel, even Jessica couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration.

Am I so unattractive? ah?
But seeing Chris leading the way into the cruise ship, she still had to follow him quickly.

Along the way, Chris, who cared about Jill, used all his firepower. He destroyed all the drippers blocking the road, the wall bubbles sneaking around, and the mutant fish crawling all over the floor.

Only the two delirium monsters that were busy circling in the casino hall caused a small obstacle to Chris.

However, with rich experience in anti-biochemical warfare, he soon discovered that the delirium monsters had limited IQ and were easily misled, so he worked with Jessica to design a plan to have the two delirium monsters attack each other, eliminating their most threatening weapon. Right arm bone saw.

Then, Chris rewarded each of them with a shuttle of ammunition. After knocking them out of the incapacitated state, he went up and received a K-style superman punch, knocking the two delirium monsters to the ground one after another and watching them explode into pieces.

Chris: You are nothing compared to the 40 tons of boulders I will push in the future.

In the headset, Quint, who was at the Nordic base, was also analyzing and guiding the two of them. He guessed that Jill and the others would head to the emergency communications room, and if the equipment there didn't work, they would probably try to restore power to the cruise ship.

So Chris took the tired Jessica to the emergency communications room first. After finding that no one was there, he rushed to the engine room in the bottom cabin.

But when Chris finally pushed open the metal door of the engine room, he still saw only an empty equipment room. There was no trace of either Jill, Parker or Li You.

In other words, since they boarded the ship, they have found no trace of other people's activities. It seems like a ghost ship here.

Chris was a little confused. He walked in the empty engine room and muttered to himself: "Jill...where are you?"

"Chris, look!"

At this time, Jessica suddenly reminded him. Following her instructions, Chris saw the ship structure diagram hanging on the wall, and the name marked on it made his pupils dilate instantly.

"Semiramis...Queen?"

……

same moment.

V and Parker, who were on the Zenobia Queen, were exploring the cabin of the ship in the dark.

Suddenly, the lights above the two of them flickered, and then the lighting was restored.

V and Parker were both startled, then looked at each other and realized that it was Li You and Jill who finally restored the power to the ship.

"Great, then we can act together next."

Parker said this and immediately called Jill, but no one answered.

Parker: "?"

"What's going on...Jill?"

——At this time, in the engine room of the bottom cabin, Li You, Jill and Yuzi had just been submerged in water.

It was literally flooded. Li You and Jill were soaking in the seawater that filled the engine room. There were several sea skimmers swimming in the water, approaching them.

But Li You didn't panic, because Yuzi was at the bottom of the water, also staring at the infected.

Not long ago, Li You and his team cleared the infected people in the bottom cabin passage, entered the engine room, and found a way to restore power based on the notes left on the console.

Although the engine room was also damaged, and several high-heat steam erupted from the internal pipes. The operating lever needed to be adjusted as required to provide correct power supply. However, it was easily cracked by Gill, a decryption expert, and the power was restored.

But the moment the two men restored power, a large amount of water suddenly rushed out from the top pipe. The water seepage from all over the ship seemed to be concentrated into this room, filling the engine room almost instantly!
It was also the moment when water started to flow out of the roof that Li You recalled that there was also a scene in the game where Jill and Parker almost drowned.

Moreover, the speed of the water flowing out at this time was much faster than the slow filling of water in the game. The three of them were already submerged in the water before they had time to react.

Jill had floated up along with the current, and was breathing air through the little space at the pipe outlet of the engine room.

Li You didn't panic at all. He had already learned the underwater breathing technique in Sekiro World. As long as he didn't go to the deep sea, he could move freely in the water.

As for Yuzu, there is no need to worry.

When the engine room was filled with water, Yuzi automatically sank to the bottom of the water. As he watched the swimmers swimming out along the pipes and cracks, Yuzi also stretched out his tentacles at Li You's signal, and the tentacles were like sea snakes. It swam dexterously in the water, caught up those who were skimming the sea, and then strangled them all and tied them together.

Yuzi didn't rush to kill them because Li You was worried that the virus on them would seep into the water.

Jill has a superhuman physique that is invulnerable to all poisons. She is even a key part of the Wesker Ouroboros virus, but Li You is not so confident.

After restraining the sea-skimmer, Li You soaked in the water and observed the entire engine room. After thinking for a while, he gave up the idea of ​​breaking in.

It wasn't because the pressure difference between the water inside and the lack of water outside was too strong. It was mainly because Li You was worried that after breaking the door, the water in the room would surge out and flood the bottom control room, and he would not be able to restore the power supply.

——Let’s go out via the path in the game.

So Li You took out the primitive gun from his backpack, walked around the engine room, and found the ventilation patio that Jill found in the game.

Li You shortened the original gun and used it as a crowbar to easily pry open the grid-shaped iron plate at the entrance of the patio.

Then Li You took Jill with him and got out of the ventilation patio. Yuzi strangled the sea-sneakers and followed him. The three of them successfully escaped from the flooded engine room.

After jumping down the ventilation duct at the top, you returned to the previously flooded corridor. The water did not recede, but it also did not continue to rise.

"The power has been restored. Let's go back to the control room and close the gate!" Jill knew exactly what they needed to do.

There were no obstacles along the way. The three of them successfully activated the gate and sealed the water seepage area. Now there was no need to worry about the ship sinking for the time being.

Only then did Jill relax and notice Parker's communication.

"—Hey, Parker?"

"Jill!" Parker's voice was slightly anxious, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I don't know what happened just now. There was water seepage in the engine room. It took us a while to escape." Gil briefly and comprehensively walked through the dangerous scene, and then asked, "Did you find anything?"

"No! But it can be said that there is!" Parker replied with an ambiguous sentence, but then explained, "V scanned the cabin area. The structure here is basically consistent with the design drawing. There should be no special space."

"In other words, if there is really a treasure room hidden on the ship, it should also be on the lower floor!"

"Lower level?" Gil was slightly startled, and Li You called up the system map, looked carefully, and found an area that was not marked on the ship structure map.

"There is a place here, on the other side of the passage we have not been to before." He pointed on the paper map in Jill's hand, "Look, there is a stepped compartment here, and there should be a large room at the top. But there are no markings on the map.”

Jill's eyes also moved slightly: "That is to say..."

The two looked at each other: "Go and have a look!"

Of course Li You remembered that there was a secret laboratory on the ship, but he really forgot where it was.

But as he looked through the system map, his past memories were gradually activated, and he probably remembered this stretch of road.

Parker said in the communication: "You go there first! V and I are going to the communication tower now to try to repair the ship positioning system!"

After hearing this, Li You's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't say anything.

It wasn't that he thought there was anything wrong with Parker, but he remembered that in the original plot, the old guy Morgan quickly chose to overturn the table after discovering that O'Brien was pursuing his affairs.

Although he couldn't remember the specific incident that made him jump over the wall, Li You still remembered very clearly how Gil and Parker responded in the game.

And since they were going to the hidden laboratory now, they obviously had to be on guard against Morgan being unable to afford it.

Therefore, Li You first contacted O'Brien secretly and told him that he planned to investigate the area suspected of being a hidden laboratory, so that he could be prepared to deal with it.

Then, he calmed down and called out through the spiritual link.

"——Aggie, you can make 'it' move."

In the room where everyone first discovered the Chris dummy, Aggie, who was quietly guarding the unconscious Rachel, opened his eyes slightly.

There were several pools of blood on the floor of the room. They were all drippers that had emerged from various corners during this period, but they had all been dealt with.

After receiving Li You's message, Aiji turned his head and looked at the corner of the room.

In the shadow of the corner, a tall figure stood quietly, with only his eyes faintly shining.

——bottom tank.

Li You, Jill and Yuzi explored along the passage. Because the waterproof gate was closed, blocking part of the passage, they finally had to choose the other side and dive in a roundabout way.

Fortunately, although there is stagnant water here, even if it is inconvenient for Gill to fight in the water, Li You and Yuzi can definitely deal with the infected and mutated creatures. Therefore, the three of them came to the stairwell leading to the unmarked area smoothly. .

Climbing up the unsubmerged step platform, Jill looked up at the broken steps and said, "The top is our destination."

Li You and Youzi also emerged from the water. Li You said, "It's up there."

After reaching the top with the grappling hook and tentacles, there is a silver alloy door with a painting style that is obviously different from other areas on the ship. In the center of the door is a large circular mechanical lock with a trident logo, and the four corners are lit with blue-green. indicator light.

Gill looked at the structure of the door and analyzed: "This is obviously a newly built area. The door lock is specially built. It not only requires the correct key, but also requires an energy supply to operate. It is absolutely impossible to pry open."

She looked at Li You: "Fortunately, we have restored the main power supply of the cruise ship, but the key... doesn't seem to match."

Li You said: "It's easy to handle, leave it to Yuzi."

This is exactly what Jill meant. After acting together with Li You and Yuzi for a long time, she gradually became accustomed to Li You's idea of ​​​​breaking the situation by convincing others with virtue.

This also reminded her of her past experience of fighting side by side with Li You and others in Raccoon City. Having a teammate who can control the overall situation and solve problems is indeed the most enjoyable for a combatant like her. thing.

It is also because of this that she and Chris place special trust in O'Brien, the BSAA commander.

But today, Li You's abilities seem to be more and more exaggerated... It seems that a lot of things have indeed happened in these years.

With this sigh in his heart, Gil watched Yuzu step forward, his right arm once again covered with two layers of shell, and this time there was still electricity wrapped around it.

And Yuzi charged up another punch, directly smashing through the mechanical lock with a trident pattern engraved in the center of the alloy door, and her whole arm went deep into it. He pulled out his arm again, raised his foot and kicked it open, breaking the door open.

"Let's go."

There is a second alloy door behind the first, but this one is not locked. Li You pressed the door, and the circular mechanical lock on the door rotated and opened, making way for them.

In fact, ever since the first alloy door opened, Jill felt extremely familiar with the scene behind. The technological door, the neat walls, and the familiar passage behind the second door all reminded her of the experimental facility belonging to Umbrella Corporation that she had seen more than once. Although the style here was different from those, it was obvious at a glance that it was an experimental area with the same function.

"...It seems that this is the secret hidden on the cruise ship." Jill said in a deep voice.

She didn't feel angry anymore, all she felt was determination.

The determination to destroy all these organizations that are obsessed with biochemical viruses.

"Li You, can you contact O'Brien?" Jill turned around and asked.

Li You was also thinking at this time. He and Jill had now found the hidden laboratory on the Queen Zenobia, so many layouts actually seemed unnecessary. Li You didn't believe that Morgan's evidence of guilt could not be found in such a large laboratory?

So the most important task now is to catch the BSAA mole.

This is a little troublesome, and I don’t know where Chris is.

But no matter what, contact O'Brien.

So Li You nodded to Jill, took out his cell phone, and pulled out O'Brien's communication.

"Li You? How's the situation?" O'Brien quickly answered.

Li You stopped hiding it and said directly: "Gill and I found the hidden laboratory on the cruise ship!"

O'Brien: "!!"

"really?"

"Of course." Li Youyou said, "We haven't entered yet, but I think that at this point, we can prepare to launch a 'general attack'."

O'Brien paused for a moment and then said: "...Okay, but there is only one last step left. Li You, you and Jill are going to enter the laboratory and get what we need from there!"

"As long as you get the evidence, summon me immediately and I will let the people who have arranged it take action!"

Gil on the side was a little confused: "What arrangement? O'Brien, Li You, what are you talking about? Are you hiding something from me?"

O'Brien paused, and then said: "...Li You?"

Li Youyou: "Do you still have to ask me? Jill is absolutely trustworthy, just tell her."

"Okay." O'Brien seemed to agree with Li You's view, so he said, "Jill, there is something I need to tell you..."

O'Brien explained his layout and the causes and consequences to Gill in the shortest possible way, including his design, his cooperation with Raymond, and his invitation to Li You to participate.

After hearing this, Jill's eyes widened: "You mean, there is no such thing as the resurrection of Greyhound? This was all directed and acted by you and Raymond?"

O'Brien paused slightly: "...That's right."

Jill asked: "Then why did you hide it from us?"

O'Brien replied in a deep voice: "I have no choice, Jill. If possible, I really don't want you, Chris, Parker, Jessica, or anyone at BSAA to be Morgan's spy. But unfortunately, after Watch, there must be a mole among us.”

"If BSAA wants to develop and grow, it cannot avoid the stumbling block of Morgan, let alone leave unstable factors internally. Therefore, I must treat you all equally and hide the plan from everyone.

"I'm sorry, Gil, but this is what I have to do as the commander of BSAA, even if... I'm sorry for you friends."

Gill was silent for a moment before saying: "...I can understand, O'Brien, this is indeed what you would do."

"Now, have you found the spy among us?"

O'Brien considered his words: "There are suspects, but... they haven't been completely determined yet."

"I understand." Jill said, "I understand, and I will cooperate with your plan. But before that, tell me, how is Chris?"

"Of course Chris is fine. He is now riding a helicopter on his way to support you." O'Brien said, "Originally I didn't tell him your location, but now that you have found the laboratory, you can There’s no need to hide, I’ll ask him to come as soon as possible for support.”

"What about Morgan? You said there is a mole sent by him between us. If this matter is exposed now, won't he react?" Jill asked.

"Of course he will react, but we are racing against time now." O'Brien saw clearly, "If the laboratory on the ship really belongs to Morgan, then I believe that when you entered it, it would have been He discovered it. Compared with this, the insider would be lagging behind in delivering information to him."

“So now, as long as you can find evidence of Morgan’s crime in the shortest possible time and make it too late for him to deal with it, this is our victory.

"On the contrary, if Morgan had already taken action to solve the BSAA before then, then whatever you found would be useless."

Then Jill understood completely.

"Okay, let's take action immediately. You ask Chris to come over for support, and we will evacuate as soon as we get the evidence!" Jill was very decisive.

"Okay!" O'Brien said solemnly, "It's all up to you!"

After hanging up the communication, Jill and Li You looked at each other and nodded.

Then, the three of them entered the experimental area with caution.

After entering it, there is a double-open alloy door directly in front. It looks thicker than the door, but it still cannot stop Yuzi's violent break.

But when Yuzi consciously planned to step forward and open the door, Gil stopped him: "Wait! This is an experimental area after all, so it's best to avoid accidents."

"The room over the corner is labeled System Operation Room. I'll go take a look. Maybe there is a way to crack the door lock."

Yuzi looked at Li You. Li You recalled it carefully, and it seemed that he really needed to register his identity for operation, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"

The two immediately went to the operating room behind the corner. The door here was still locked, but the long glass observation wall next to it was very conspicuous.

At this time, Li You didn't hide and hold him back anymore. Even though Yuzi didn't follow him, he could still forcefully break the door.

Li You held the soul pendant again, and the soul gun roared, using its strong penetrating power to open a big hole in the observation wall. He swung his knife down from the entrance of the cave and easily opened a window for people to enter and exit.

For today's Li You, a mere shot of the soul gun is no longer a big expense, and the consumed mental energy can be recovered quickly, and can be used as a regular attack method.

After entering the room, Gil found the identity registration system on the computer here, so he and Li You immediately entered their fingerprints and registered their identities as senior researchers.

The two returned to the gate again. This time they just pressed the fingerprint lock next to it, and the alloy gate automatically unlocked.

"Let's go!" Jill took the lead.

Behind the door is the isolation room, which is connected to the disinfection passage that is very familiar to both Jill, Li You, and even Yuzi.

"...It's this kind of thing again." Jill frowned.

"The disinfection channel is a must in the laboratory." Li Yao said, picking up a document next to him and looking through it.

"...I hate this." Even Yuzu commented.

As much as she hates it, when she heard the broadcast in the room saying "Please enter the passage one at a time", Jill walked into the left passage first without hesitation, and the disinfection process was immediately started.

Although there were two disinfection passages on the left and right, Li You did not follow him inside. Instead, he let Yuzi go first while he looked at the documents he had just picked up.

This document is not the instructions for the use of the sterilization room, but records a BOW called "Scalmini", or "Scamilione", which was developed based on the T-Abyss virus.

According to the documents, this BOW was developed by combining shark DNA. Although its individual combat power is not as good as that of Dachinasuo, its comprehensive cost performance and research and development completion are far superior to the former. It is the most successful BOW under the T-Abyss virus system.

"I remember, it's this thing."

The picture attached to the file reminded Li You of this BOW. In the original game, they were active in the cabin and other areas, but I don't know if V and Parker encountered them.

The appearance of this document here also shows that there may be more than one Scarumini appearing in the next area.

Li You, who had recalled the plot, was about to remind Jill to be careful. Suddenly, there was a harsh sound of metal tearing from the side of the disinfection channel where she was!
"His-"

Gil also turned around to look, only to see a dark gray "big knife" tearing apart the thin steel plate of the wall on the side of the isolation room, and then pulled it to cut a huge gap in the wall!

Then, something hit hard from the inside out, breaking open the wall blocking the way, allowing the thing behind to reveal itself.

It was a two-meter-tall humanoid creature, as if it were a shark in human form. It was covered in gray-black "scales" all over its body, and even its pointed head was wrapped in it. It looked very much like a shark. knight.

What's even more exaggerated is that the creature's hands have undergone major changes. The right hand has turned into a sharp blade covered with bone spurs, which looks like a spear and a broadsword. It was this murderous weapon that just tore through the steel plate.

Its left hand is a large shield evolved from the scales of sharks. It is said to have defensive power that can block rifle bullets.

This is Scarumini, a shark and knight type BOW.

And not only on Gil's side, but also on Yuzu's passage, three Scarumini appeared at once, surrounding him with swords and shields!

Seeing this group of BOWs, Jill was also surprised: "This is..."

But the Scarumini, or Shark Knight, who appeared first, didn't waste any time at all. He waved the sword of his right arm and beheaded Gill in front of him!
However, although Jill was startled by its appearance, her experienced reflexes allowed her to dodge the attack nimbly, and she raised her hand to shoot!
"boom--!!"

Unexpectedly, the Shark Knight's intelligence and reflexes were very high. At that moment, when it saw Gill pointing the gun at him, it quickly raised the scale shield of its left arm to block the direction the gun was pointing!
After the gunfire flashed away, Gil was a little shocked to find that his shotgun had hit Scarumini's shield, and the projectile had only embedded itself in it, but was still far away from piercing it.

"Jill!"

Li You in the isolation room immediately planned to lend a helping hand, but at this time, the alloy door at the rear suddenly opened, and two more Scarumini appeared, and "with shields and guns raised", they launched a charge at Li You!
The space in the isolation room was narrow, so as a last resort, Li You had no choice but to turn his body into black mist, shuttle behind the two Scarumini, and then slash them off with a swing of his knife!

In the passage, Gil also dodged Scarumini's attack. Although her body was flexible, Scarumini's attacks could not hit her at all, but Jill was unable to fight back.

The firearm in her hand, even the shotgun given to her by Li You, was difficult to severely damage Scarumini at a medium distance. She had to shoot at close range to break through its armor, which also made Jill passive.

Of course, this is actually Li You's fault. Because he was acting together with Gil, many of the areas in the game where Gil could find powerful firearms and high-end accessories were not visited, so now he had no useful equipment except this M3 shotgun.

Although Jill is a biochemical superwoman who can be called a body of steel, she does not have heat vision or super strength after all. Without a suitable weapon, there is still nowhere to show off your skills.

It's impossible to let her go up and kill the armored BOW, right?
Judging from the scene at this time, it was obvious that the three of them had fallen into a trap. The situation at this time was deliberately arranged by someone to deal with their threat.

And who did it? Do you need to ask more?

But unfortunately, that person underestimated the fighting power of Li You and Yuzi.

Seeing that the M3 shotgun couldn't break through Scarumini's defense, Li You immediately realized that this thing would be very difficult for Gill, so he opened fire directly, and the energy on the knife surged, and he used the secret weapon One heart!
Under the sword light that flashed several times in an instant, the two Scarumini blocking him, as well as the disinfection passage door that separated the inside and outside, were cut into pieces!
But Li You was still a step too slow. Before he could smash the door, Yuzi in the passage next to him roared angrily and punched the last Scarumini on his side. The head was smashed into two pieces. Observation wall between passages!

The Scarumini's head was squeezed and deformed between the tempered glass wall and Yuzu's fist, and finally turned into a pool of blood. But Yuzu's fist continued unabated and directly penetrated the observation wall!
Then, Yuzu pulled hard and tore the isolation observation wall made of tempered glass with his hands, rushed into the left passage, and then roared and hit hard, squeezing the Scalumni that came out of the wall back into the wall!
Only, this time it changed from three dimensions to two dimensions.

When Li You slashed the isolation door with his sword and rushed into the passage, he only saw Jill and Yuzi staring at each other.

Gil looked at Scarumini who was squeezed into a thin layer, and was a little confused for a while. After a while, he said to Yuzu:
"um. Thank you."

Yuzi looked at her and said in a deep voice: "...No."

Li You looked at the stiff interaction between the two of them, but he didn't know whether to interrupt or not.

But then, an echoing male voice suddenly came from the room in front of the passage.

"—Well done, you little thieves."

Li You and Jill were both stunned, and without caring about anything else, they immediately rushed out of the passage and looked towards the source of the sound.

Outside the passage is a fairly spacious laboratory hall, with a large culture tank in the center, and a series of Osteoglossus fish swimming in it.

But the sound just now came from the big screen on the wall on one side. At this moment, an old man with white beard and hair, but all neatly groomed, with a majestic and sinister face, was looking at Li You and the others.

"Impressive performance, BSAA, and...Tracefer."

The old man said this to Li You and Jill in mocking words.

Both of them recognized the identity of the old man. He was the leader of FBC, Morgan Lansdale, nicknamed "Silver Fox"!

Li You: Do you know that your nickname is the same as that of an unnamed Mr. "Silver Wolf" Nicolai?
