Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

The progress was smooth sailing afterwards.

Mann and his team took Tanaka and Jimmy Kurosaki to Japan Street, an old apartment building that Li You was familiar with. This was the base of the scavengers in the past.

The first mission after the prologue in the game, rescuing Sandra Dorsett, was carried out here.

Of course, there is also the subsequent "Daydream" branch. Our brother V bought a black Super Dream from a hawker and was stunned. He moved here to prepare for the kidney.

That is to say, V woke up early, otherwise it would really be all over the place.

In short, this place originally belonged to the scavengers. Mann and others cleared them out in a previous commission, so they temporarily occupied this place.

In this way, after getting the data, they can throw Tanaka directly into the bathtub and pretend that it was the scavengers who did it.

Mann was already busy extracting the data in Tanaka's brain, and Li You sat on the sofa outside and waited at ease.

He was not worried about any accidents. The current situation was different from the original animation.

——In the past half month, David and Mann have been practicing Qi seriously.

Let’s not talk about David, he has talent, interest, and perseverance, so he passed Edge’s first test two days ago, and Li You handed him the belt.

As for the “transformation” password, it is obvious that it was set by Li You…

It should be said that David is an adolescent boy after all, even if there seems to be no special effects works in this world, he immediately understood the charm of the “transformation system”.

This is also for David’s safety. Today, David has neither subcutaneous armor and other prosthetic enhancements, nor does he have Sian Westin to let him shuttle freely, and his Qi training is still very immature. So a set of armor that can be summoned at any time will be his amulet.

The only problem is that Li You will still be jealous when he sees him transform.

However, jealousy is jealousy. In order to avoid being caught by the company for research, Li You also emphasized that he must not transform in the presence of outsiders. So the time just now was actually David’s first actual combat. He had only tried it with Li You and Mann before.

As for Mann, his prosthesis has been downgraded, and the cyberpsychosis has gradually gone away. During this period, he also took a few commissions with his team to try his skills and was satisfied with it.

Otherwise, he would not have taken on this mission with full confidence.

Finally, it was proved that the hard training during this period did not let him down. The battle with Tanaka not long ago made Mann feel very happy. He had not had such a good fight for a long time.

If Tanaka had not been accidentally let go in the end, it would have been perfect. In the end, David still caught him.

At this time, David had been sent back to sleep by Li You. This kid still has to go to class tomorrow. Gloria agreed to let him come today only after Li You personally called her.

Lucy also withdrew. She is still hiding her deep diving interface. Mann and others have no need to keep her.

Oh, Rebecca and her brother are still fine. They are all fine. They just went back to their apartments.

In the animation, Pyrrha was shot and killed by a cyberpsycho on the roadside for an insignificant reason. It was also that time that David felt the cruelty of Night City and cyberpunk life again.

And now, Pyrrha is still alive and well, and can still argue with Rebecca in high spirits after the mission.

As for the reason... Because when Mann and his team met the cyberpsychopath who urinated and defecated everywhere, they were with David when he was a rookie.

And this time, by coincidence, Mann and his team were with Li You and his three friends, just after a certain commission was completed.

So when the cyberpsychopath appeared, Li You went up and pinned him down, and then packed him up and sent him to Regina, and the Mann team's personnel configuration was still complete.

However, they couldn't help with data cracking, so at the moment, only Li You and his three friends, Sasha, Qiwei, Mann and Dolio were here.

Because there were enough people, Falco stayed in the underground garage to be on standby at any time in case of an emergency.

In the bathroom, Tanaka was stripped to a white fat pig, tied up on a chair, and Qiwei connected to the deep diving interface and was searching for the required data in his brain.

"Tsk, Arasaka's protection is really troublesome."

In the cyberspace, Qiwei complained while fighting against the ICE in Tanaka's mind.

Of course, she didn't know that in the original world line, as soon as she finished saying this, she was pulled out of the ice bath by Mann, who was on the verge of a cyber psychosis, and beaten up. The alloy chin was knocked off and he was sent to the emergency room on the spot.

And it was for this reason that Mann called David and Lucy to come over to mine data on behalf of Qiwei - this was also the beginning of a series of subsequent tragedies.

"... There will be no more such things." Li You sat in the living room outside, stroking the hand cannon X. He sat on the sofa when Mann recalled the killing.

Li You said it very confidently. After all, there is really no possibility of overturning in the current world line.

With his interference, many problems have disappeared on the other side of the world and become fragments of the timeline that no longer exists.

Now, Mann won't go crazy, and Qiwei won't go to the hospital. She is capable of completing the task of cracking the protection and extracting data.

And Sasha is also present. She is not as experienced as Qiwei in deep diving, so she is responsible for maintaining the operation of the jammer. In this way, even if Tanaka's brain suddenly explodes, the jammer will be fine.

Finally, Tanaka doesn’t know David at all, and David and Lucy haven’t even exchanged horoscopes yet. Even if the world line is really closed and Lucy is called to crack it, it won’t be as complete as in the animation. The army was destroyed.

The tragedy of Mann's team in the animation was actually the result of multiple coincidences.

In this world, Li You has blocked all possibilities of things going wrong in advance.

If there is still a problem, it can only be that Qiwei made a mistake when deciphering the data in Tanaka's mind, and then discovered that there was some special alarm device buried in Tanaka's mind, the kind that can send news of death back to Arasaka Company.

Not to mention this kind of weird setting that if it really appears, it can only be explained as the malice of the world. Even if it does happen, Li You has the last resort to find out.

He picked up his phone and looked at the message history.

After catching Tanaka, Li You told V the content of this commission and added instructions.

Although he only mentioned it to V now, which was a bit like cutting it off first and telling him later, fortunately, his favorability with V seemed to be up to par. V just complained and didn't argue with him.

She could also understand that this was how a mercenary's job was, dealing with the situation but not the person. At least Li You contacted her as promised.

And since everyone in Tanaka was captured, V unceremoniously included him in his plan.

"...In this way, I will send you a data form. After you obtain the data in Tanaka's mind, you have to get it, then compare it with the form, clear out all the matching key items, and then give it to Faraday."

"In this way, the data you submit will still be true and can be trusted as military technology, but the key points will be hidden, and they can only get some superficial things."

"In this way, military technology knows little about the prosthetic King Kong, and they should pay more attention to this project in the future. Once they are fooled, the final control will fall into my hands."

"By the time they realize something is wrong, they will have already fallen into a big pit and will never be able to climb out again."

Li You gave V a thumbs up.

"Awesome, V! As expected of the second-in-command of the Counter-Intelligence Department, he came up with such an efficient strategy with ease."

V replied with an expression:

"(character middle finger)"

"Stop being so weird about me! You should think about how to convince your mercenary friends!"

Li You smiled back at her and said that this was nothing to him and she just needed to lie in bed and wait for the news.    As a result, V cannot be read back.

Li You didn't care. He put down his phone, thought for a moment, and called Mann and Sasha aside.

"...You said you want to modify the data obtained from Tanaka's mind?" Mann was also stunned. If he didn't trust Li You enough now, he might not have listened at all.

"Why?"

Sasha also looked at him in surprise, while Li You explained: "You should have guessed that this series of commissions for Arasaka are all the work of military technology."

"Actually, after last time, I asked a friend to check. Military Technology's target is a confidential development project that Tanaka is responsible for. Military Technology believes that if the project succeeds, it will pose a threat to them."

Halfway through his words, Sasha pouted: "It's that company woman again..."

Mann's eyes widened after hearing this: "Confidential project? Doesn't that mean..."

"Yes, not only are we caught in the middle by two corporate giants, but we are also involved in their most confidential affairs." Li You said seriously, "In this case, it would be dangerous if Arasaka discovered it, but even if we complete it perfectly After completing the task and submitting the data, guess what will happen?”

Before Mann could speak, Sasha had already answered: "... Military technology will probably instruct Faraday to silence those of us who are insiders. Because we have seen top-secret company intelligence."

She lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she thought of.

Li You agreed with her guess: "In this research and development project that Tanaka is responsible for, whether it is Arasaka or military technology, there will not be a few mercenaries who know the secrets alive in the world, unless we have someone Can have legendary level of strength and influence.”

When he said this, both Mann and Sasha fell silent.

legend? Although Mann and Li You claim to have this goal, for now, it is obvious that they are still far from that level.

"...So, it is necessary to process the obtained data a little bit. We delete part of it and let the military science and technology know what it is and why it is so that they can focus on Arasaka instead of immediately Thinking of killing us."

After hearing what he said, Mann also thought it was reasonable, so he said: "In that case, after Qiwei extracts the data, let's leave it to Sasha for processing. But how do we know what to modify?"

Li You shook his phone: "I have sent you the data form, Sasha."

While Sasha was receiving the documents, he muttered: "It is indeed that company woman..."

"Well, let me ask one more question, is your company friend reliable?" Mann already understood the cause and effect.

"As a partner, it's very reliable." Li You answered simply.

"Then I'll be fine."

They were chatting here, and from the bathroom, Dorio came out with a separation chip: "Qiwei has done it, the data is obtained!"

"Very good!" Mann took the chip, glanced at it and handed it to Sasha, "I'll leave it to you."

"Li You, does Tanaka need special treatment?"

Li You knew that Mann asked this because he was concerned about his relationship with his "company friends". However, Li You also knew that since V did not mention Tanaka's whereabouts in the message she sent, her meaning was very clear.

- You decide for yourself!

So Li You said directly: "Don't worry, proceed as planned!"

"Okay. Dorio, go help Qiwei, we will leave immediately after cleaning up. Sasha, remember to clear all the surveillance near this building before leaving!"

"Okay."

"No problem!"

"I'll go install time bombs for Tanaka, oh, and Jimmy Kurosaki. The jammers on them are also working, right? Very good." Mann arranged in an orderly manner, "Li You, please keep on guard for the three of you."

Li You nodded: "Yes."

In terms of cyberpunk team operations, Mann is undoubtedly more experienced, and Li You has no intention of competing with him for command, but conveyed his arrangements to Yuzu and Edge who were on guard.

This commission does not lack combat power, so the two of them have been responsible for the guard work. This is indeed a waste of talent, but Edge has long been accustomed to it, and Yuzu seems to enjoy it.

Everyone quickly moved, busy but not chaotic, and soon cleaned up the scene into a scavenger style, and then evacuated in batches.

An hour after everyone left, Jimmy Kurosaki woke up first.

He realized that he was tied to a chair, and instinctively raised his head, but then he felt something pulling his hair, and then there was a light "click".

Jimmy was stunned, and then he saw Tanaka, who was tied opposite him and still unconscious, and an old-style time bomb placed on his chest, with red numbers jumping on it, just changing from "00:05" to "00:04".

"No... No no no, no--!!"

In the face of the fear of death, Jimmy Kurosaki's face was completely distorted. Unfortunately, before he could finish his tenor chant, the countdown had already returned to zero, and the time bomb exploded!

"Boom--!!"

The flames engulfed the entire bathroom and tore the two people apart!

The jammer was naturally damaged in the explosion, and the trauma team did not know until then that the two platinum VIP customers had just died together.

The relevant departments of the trauma team were immediately in a mess.

By the time the Arasaka Special Forces arrived to collect Tanaka's body, almost twenty minutes had passed.

At this time, Li You had already driven the Merrimack, followed the Mann team's armed off-road vehicle, a modified Chevrolet "Emperor", and walked away.

By the way, the one driving in front was Mann himself, because Falco had a more important task. He was responsible for driving Jimmy Kurosaki's Sword in the Stone to find the old captain to sell the stolen goods.

There was nothing to say next. Mann went to the afterlife and handed the chip processed by Sasha to Faraday in person, and then left to wait for news.

And this time, Faraday's reply came quickly.

Not only did he say "well done" to Mann, he also said that this time the remuneration would not be deducted at all - no more, no less, a full 790,000 euros.

But Faraday immediately said that the client had not yet remitted the money, so Mann could only wait.

"…In addition, since you have completed the mission very well this time, the subsequent commissions may come soon, and they will still be handed over to you. So if you are not in a hurry, wait until the next two commissions are settled together."

Mann replied: "Understood."

If it were in the past, Mann and others would not care too much about this kind of thing. After all, the middleman would at most take the opportunity to deduct, and would not embezzle the mercenaries' remuneration without reason, otherwise their reputation would be bad. If it is the problem of the first party, then it is also the job of the middleman to find them to coordinate.

But this time, with Li You's advance reminder, Mann immediately thought, is Faraday really going to silence him afterwards, so he deliberately dragged it out?

Many times, suspicion only needs a seed.

Mann and Dolio looked at each other and had a tacit understanding.

It's time to prepare.
