Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 457 Shen Mei's Request

"Buzz."

The alloy automatic door at the end of the escape passage opened, revealing the neatly built tunnel behind it. A small rail train was parked on one of the tracks.

"This base actually has this kind of thing." Leon was also deeply surprised after seeing it. This configuration is really comparable to Umbrella's mother nest.

Li You nodded slightly. He did not expect that this experimental facility, which was obviously not as large as the mother nest, had such complete supporting facilities. "This guy started right away when he came over. He almost ran away... Fortunately, I was more skilled."

V and Jason followed behind, with V still holding the family member in his hand. Jason took a look at the rail car and said in surprise: "Even if this thing is not a maglev, it must be a small high-speed train, right? The starting speed is not slow, how did you catch up?"

Li You just smiled.

In fact, it was a bit troublesome. His vehicles could basically catch up with the speed of the train, but they were not suitable for running or flying in the tunnel. So in order to prevent the other party from escaping, Li You briefly transformed into a dragon man, bursting out at high speed and crashing directly into the train, and then caught the person back.

But obviously there's no need to tell Jason this.

In fact, Jason shook his head after asking the question. He knew very well that this kind of question was not suitable for him to ask, and he was just really surprised and blurted it out.

Leon on the side was actually a little curious, but he also didn't say anything - there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

The only one who was not surprised was V. She was basically aware of Li You’s current abilities.

"I just took a quick look and this train also goes to the suburbs, which is perfect. V and I will take this guy out first. Leon, Jason, you should leave from the air force base on the ground."

V asked, "Don't I have to go back to the White House and continue to play that role?"

Li You shook his head: "No need. I just received news that Shen Mei has sent the evidence we need, and 'Wilson' can also abscond for fear of crime, so the prosthetic puppet can take over your job."

V nodded, but felt a little regretful: "The tea in Ryan's desk is pretty good. I should have brought it with me..."

Li You was amused: "Then you can just let the artificial puppet bring it back."

Leon did not interrupt. After listening to Li You's words about the evidence being delivered, he was thinking about something. Jason next to him looked at the man being dragged by V. Although he was very curious about the guy's origins, Jason still resisted the urge to immediately capture the man and interrogate him.

Firstly, he has been patient for many years and doesn't mind a little more time. Secondly, even if he wants to do something, he is obviously no match for Li You, V, and Leon... no, any one of them.

So Jason was exceptionally quiet.

However, Li You would not ignore the thoughts of his newly selected coolie, so he looked at Jason and added: "Let's take this man away first. Judging from his performance, it will take some tricks to make him talk. But we will wait until you are done and come over before starting the interrogation."

Jason was obviously stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily: "Okay!"

So, Li You and V took the family member and left on another train. Leon looked at Jason and said, "Let's go, we should go back and prepare the 'safety' report."

……

That night.

Li You and others did not stay in the hotel, but moved to the secret department's branch base here - an inconspicuous three-story building.

This branch building is quite shabby and looks ordinary. But its appearance is not designed to be hidden, but it is old...

There is no other way. Trasever does not have sufficient funds, and the secret department also does not have much surplus. The reason why we can have a three-story building with a basement here is because this is Washington after all, which is more important.

The funding issue is also an urgent issue to be resolved. At present, the main sources of funding for Trasever are support from some small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, donations from people from all walks of life, and income from the sale of drugs by the pharmaceutical department.

Of course, there are some other miscellaneous sources of income, but they are either limited in amount or one-time and are not enough to rely on.

In fact, in the original world view, when Trasefer develops to the later stage, various capitals must have settled in, but in this world, neither Li You nor Kara would allow those big capitals to interfere in Trasefer, which naturally led to difficulties in opening up sources of income.

Apart from anything else, even many of the equipment used in the underground areas were spoils of war obtained by the secret department during its field operations... Research was also a big expense.

But there was no way, they couldn't mass-produce vaccines or drugs, and it was even more impossible for them to follow other pharmaceutical companies and sell the developed viruses on the biochemical black market. Trasever's most stable income now was actually the various vaccine orders received by the "pharmaceutical department" - it had to be said that this was a bit ironic.

Originally, Kara had planned to obtain more funds, but unfortunately she has disappeared, and now Li You is the only one who can consider this problem.

And this is why Li You targeted Jason’s ally, Shen Mei.

Shen Mei's grandfather is a Chinese entrepreneur who currently lives in Shanghai and is "quite wealthy." Shen Mei and Junxi did not seem to be born at home and both have American citizenship.

After all, they were just Banana people, not Run people, so Li You would not have any bad feelings towards them and would just treat them as ordinary foreigners. So under this premise, what he saw in Shen Mei was naturally the financial resources of her family.

Otherwise, what would she do? Li You has no other interest in her.

As for the specific methods...you will know when the time comes.

At this time, in the basement of the secret department branch, Li You, V, and Aiji were all sitting here. Li You was holding a thin document in his hand and was flipping through it.

In the middle of the basement, the family member who was previously captured in the underground research facility of the Air Force base was stripped of his suit jacket and sat timidly in a chair, not daring to move.

He was completely confused. He had no idea what was going on with this group of people. He was originally ordered to take over the research base, but he encountered a group of unexpected intruders.

That’s fine, he clearly reacted quickly and wanted to run, the train had already rushed out, and just when he felt relieved, something unexpected crashed directly into the train car, and before he could react, he was knocked unconscious!
When I woke up again, I was locked in this basement.

He was mentally prepared to be severely tortured, but this group of people just came up and started beating him without even asking any questions!

...Okay, it’s not the kind of beating you get when you’re being tortured, it’s the kind of beating you get when you’re being injected.

Injections!! This is even scarier!
As a member of the family, he is also very aware of how terrifying the various viruses in the world are.

So, when the victim saw the blue solution in the syringe in the man's hand, his eyes almost popped out of his head. All the psychological preparation he had made before was instantly thrown out of the window, and he immediately planned to beg for mercy and confess.

Unfortunately, no matter how he shouted, the man holding his hand did not move at all. His struggle did not even make a splash, and he was injected with the solution.

And then... then it was gone. This family member could feel something running around in his body, but he was unable to resist. He was completely lost in despair.

After injecting him with the virus, Li You did not rush to ask questions. Instead, he looked through the top-secret documents left by Kara and brought by Edge.

Just as Claire expected, most of these were indeed investigation reports about the family.

...Well, except for a small notebook with a lot of names written on it, but I don't know what it is used for.

Li You also couldn't understand the purpose of the book. After all, you said that the first name was Albert Wesker, so why was his name written right after it? It didn't make sense. Li You: I don't understand. I don't understand.

...Back to the topic, the information Kara had investigated about the family was neither more nor less, and Li You actually knew most of it.

For example, the time when the family was founded, its original origins, the role it may have played in the Raccoon City incident, and the Simmons family's underground cemetery suspected to be located in Tall Oaks, United States.

It's impressive to be able to find these out of thin air, but they're not new information.

Li You was not disappointed, as he had expected this result.

However, at the end of the document, he saw a piece of information that he did not know.

"It seems that there are two main factions within the 'family', and there are many disputes between them?"

Li You's eyes moved. Combining what he remembered about the plot of Resident Evil 6, this didn't seem impossible...

"Interesting, she actually found some interesting things."

While Li You was admiring in his heart, he also thought that it seemed that he really had to find Kara as soon as possible. She was the most suitable person to stay here and preside over the overall situation of the secret department.

At this moment, Li You's eyes moved and he stood up.

"They're here? Okay, I'll go up right away."

Li You returned to the first floor. Leon, Jason and Shen Mei were standing at the door. All three were dressed in casual clothes.

"Welcome." Li You smiled.

He had already seen a black van parked on the street outside, guarded by two bodyguards with oriental faces, but he didn't know the specific situation.

Li You had some guesses in his mind and let Lyon and the other two in.

"Sorry to be so anxious, but where is Bill?" Jason got straight to the point as soon as he entered the door.

Li You raised his hand and pointed: "It's upstairs, in the room on the third floor. You can go and take a look."

There aren't many people in this branch, and usually there are only a few on-duty personnel, so when Aggie delivered the information this time, he was with the team from Trasefer's secret department, which is why it took so long.

Although there were just enough people now, Claire was still a little worried, so she also helped upstairs.

After hearing what Li You said, Jason went straight upstairs without even sitting down.

And Li You made a gesture of invitation to Leon and Shen Mei: “Please sit wherever you want.”

Shen Mei followed them into the house and sat down on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, facing Li You. She looked at the furnishings in the room, her eyes moved slightly, and she said, "I heard that this should be the Washington branch of Trasever, right? Why is it so inconspicuous? Even if it's for quietness, there's not even a sign, it's easy to be overlooked."

Leon, who was standing by, looked at her and realized that she had something else in mind. Li You just put on his signature smile and replied gently:

"That's not hard to guess, right? This is certainly not a formal branch of Trasever, otherwise how can we discuss things? As for the furnishings, it's not for concealment or quietness, it's just because there's not enough money."

His words were so direct that Shen Mei was at a loss. She was stunned for a moment, and the lines she had prepared were instantly useless. She could only twitch her lips and respond, "That... is it. Mr. Li is really frank."

Li You laughed: "Whether you are short of money or you are keeping a low profile, it is impossible to hide it. Why bother to pretend to be rich? Besides, we are still discussing cooperation. Being honest with each other is also a way to show our sincerity."

"That's true..."

After hearing this, Shen Mei hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted her teeth and said, "In that case, I won't beat around the bush!"

"Mr. Li, I heard from Jason that you can help him and Bill solve the virus problem, and there is even hope of a cure. Is this true?"

Li You knew clearly in his mind: It is indeed this matter.

Facing Shen Mei's earnest and hopeful gaze, he did not deliberately take a sip of tea slowly, but simply answered: "Not exactly!"

Shen Mei was stunned.

"It should be said that as long as the two of them follow our arrangements, they can definitely be cured. Not only can the hidden dangers of the virus be resolved, but there is also a certain possibility that while clearing the infection, it can also retain a certain strengthening effect! Of course, this depends on each person's physique."

Shen Mei was stunned by this ups and downs.

It took her a while to come back to her senses, and then she looked at Li You and felt that he was indeed sincere. And more importantly, Leon next to her was also very calm, and seemed to have no problem with Li You's words at all.

Shen Mei was also observing Leon and the others. In her eyes, Leon was the kind of warrior with ideals and drive, but correspondingly, he was a bit clumsy when it came to interacting with others. He was roughly the same as Jason, maybe a little stronger, but only to a limited extent.

So if Li You was lying, Na Liang would definitely not have no reaction... This just proves that Li You was telling the truth.

In other words, Li You didn't know her opinion, otherwise he would definitely ask on behalf of Leon, "Are you polite?"

Then shake her hand.

You are right!
Apart from anything else, at least in the original series of Infinite Darkness, Jason and Leon do have the same problem.

Look at the conversation between the two of them in the residential building in Magic City. At that time, Jason wanted to ask Leon to help them retrieve Wilson's criminal evidence, but...

Jason from the original show: "We need to find evidence that the U.S. government has committed a crime!"

Original series Leon: "Oh, you want to commit treason."

The negotiation broke down on the spot.

Li You was in a difficult situation.

But in short, the reactions of Li You and Leon finally made Shen Mei make up her mind.

So she looked at Li You again and said, "In that case, I have a request."

"Please...save my brother!"
