Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Early morning, abandoned temple.

Accompanied by the hoarse sound of sawdust, Wolf woke up in the dim candlelight.

He still felt weak, and barely propped himself up and lifted the worn bamboo mat covering him.

After doing this instinctive action, he realized that his left arm should be gone, right?

Wolf raised his left hand and saw the skeleton-like prosthesis made of artificial bones and metal mechanisms.

"This is..."

The man who carved the Buddha said: "... You are awake, you can really sleep."

The wolf stood up and came to him, but the man did not turn his head back and continued to carve the Buddha, asking:

"What's your name?"

The wolf was silent.

The Buddhist sculptor snorted: "...Can't you tell me your name? All ninjas are like this." Wolf asked: "Why am I here?" The Buddhist sculptor replied: "...You have been unconscious for some time. About three days ago, a strange-looking man brought you here." "He claimed to be a traveling merchant, and, what...Oh, a folklorist." Wolf's expressionless face also showed a trace of doubt: "...What is that?" The Buddhist sculptor said coldly: "I heard that he is a person who specializes in studying local customs and legends. That's all I know." "That person now lives in the castle tower in Ashina Castle. If you have any questions, go find him yourself. "...By the way, your master is also in the castle tower. Originally, it seems that someone wanted to use the power of his strange bloodline, but now..." Wolf: "...Hmm?" The Buddhist sculptor suddenly exhaled: "Ha...It's too troublesome to explain. Anyway, if you have any doubts, go to the castle tower to see them and you will know. ”

The wolf nodded, raised his left hand again, and asked: "This left arm..."

The Buddha sculptor replied: "That is a ninja hand. For a wolf who has lost his left arm, it will be an impeccable fang. That thing is of no help in carving Buddha statues, so I'll give it to you."

The wolf repeated: "Ninja hand..."

He tried to move his left arm, and instinctively poured his energy into it, so the ninja hand moved flexibly and at will, as if it was his original limb.

The Buddha sculptor added: "This thing can not only replace your left arm, but also become your fang. If you find any ninja tools, bring them here, and I will help you put them in the ninja hand."

The wolf fumbled with the use of the ninja hand again, and then nodded: "...Thank you."

"Humph." The Buddha sculptor still had no expression, "You've said too much, go ahead."

"This abandoned temple, if you want to hide, you can come back at any time. That's it. "

Although Wolf was still a little confused, he saw that the Buddha carving master didn't want to say more, so he didn't bother to argue. After he raised his palm and bowed, he walked out of the temple.

"...By the way, you can take this too."

When Wolf turned around, he saw that the Buddha carving master raised his hand and threw an old book to him.

He took it and saw that it turned out to be a book of ninja moves.

"What is this...?"

The Buddha carving master said: "Humph, it's a book of ninja moves."

"Just think of it as me worrying about nothing. I see that you haven't wielded a knife for a long time, so I wonder if the ninja moves are rusty?

"If you don't think you can use it, just give it to anyone."

Wolf was silent for a moment and put away the book.

"Then I'm leaving."

"...Humph, go ahead."

After Wolf bowed to the Buddha carving master again, he walked out of the abandoned Buddhist temple and started to rush to Ashina Castle.

But he didn't expect that the journey would be surprisingly smooth.

Or rather, it was too smooth.

…

Outskirts of the city, Tiger's Mouth Stairs.

Wolf pulled Kushimaru out of the prey and shook off the blood on the knife.

He turned his head and looked at the gatehouse at the top of the stairs, with a strange look on his face.

"What's going on..."

Wolf knew that the inner court had attacked once not long ago. So it stands to reason that the city area, even the outer area, should be heavily guarded, just in case.

But he had not seen a single soldier from Ashina since he set out from the abandoned temple.

Kushimaru was stained with blood for the first time until a moment ago.

And the one killed was a huge pheasant that was one meter tall and covered with black feathers.

Wolf: "..."

What's wrong, is Ashina closed today?

He was wondering, but suddenly, he glanced, and the ninja's extraordinary vision allowed him to see that there seemed to be a person hiding in a pile of grass in the distance.

"That is..."

Because the distance was too far, Wolf could not identify the other party's identity. He could only see that he was huddled in the grass, holding his head with his hands, trembling.

"… Let's go and have a look."

Lang decided to find out what was going on. After all, that guy was the first living person he saw after leaving the abandoned temple.

But as soon as he took a step, he saw a man dressed in a purple cloak and dressed as a ninja jumping down from the cliff in the distance!

"…Lone Shadow!?"

Lang naturally recognized the representative ninja of the inner court.

Under Lang's gaze, the Lone Shadow drew out the ninja straight sword behind him and walked towards the man in the bush.

Lang hesitated for only a moment before deciding to help.

Although he didn't know who was hiding in the bush, since the Lone Shadow Ninja of the hostile force wanted to kill him, he would of course save him.

Lang flipped out a shuriken from the inside of his robe and threw it out with a wave of his hand!

"Shua——!"

The shuriken let out a slight whistle, spinning and slashing towards the lonely shadows!

But Gu Yingzhong was worthy of being the elite fighting force of the inner ninja army. With just a slight sound of breaking wind, the man judged that someone was attacking from behind. He turned around suddenly and raised his sword to block it!

"clang--"

The shuriken was easily deflected, but when the Lone Shadows glanced at them, they did not see the attacker.

Lone Shadows: "!?"

He was about to go over to investigate, but suddenly he felt a sharp chill coming from top to bottom under a black shadow above his head!

Of course this is a wolf.

In the wolf's style, once he decided to take action, he would not be sloppy.

After using the shuriken to divert the attention of the lonely shadows, he immediately relied on the hook rope attached to Ninyi's hand to pull himself to a high place, preparing to take advantage of the lonely shadows' distraction to strike from above. enemy!

However, the opponent's reaction was beyond the wolf's expectations. The Gu Yingzhong was still able to respond decisively to his unexpected strike. When ordinary people had no time to react, they ducked out of the way, allowing the wolf's sneak attack to fall into the air.

After the Lone Shadows got out of the way, they turned around to look.

"...You are also a ninja? Interesting, then let me, Guying Zhongzhengjiu, try your skills as a country ninja!"

With that said, Zheng raised his knife and slashed at the wolf!

The wolf said nothing and raised his knife to block it.

"clang--!"

The two immediately fought together.

Although Guyingzhong Zhengjiu is not one of the seventeen leaders of Guyingzhong, he is still the strongest person second only to them.

It was also because of this that he was sent out to act alone.

The wolf's condition has not yet fully recovered, and he is not yet proficient in using the newly acquired ninja prosthetic hand, so he is at a disadvantage as soon as he engages in the battle.

He was swinging the straight blade in his hand, combined with Guying's sharp kicks that everyone knew and his poisonous hand skills that he had practiced hard, and beat the wolf back again and again.

“Clang clang clang——!!”

The wolf raised his sword and tried to block the continuous slashes, but due to a moment of negligence, he was kicked by the opponent. The air flow in his body was instantly disrupted and he retreated continuously.

But Zheng was merciless, raising his cloak, revealing his hidden left hand, and performed a unique skill called "Poison Hand"!

Right: "Drink——!"

The wolf was still adjusting his breath, and it was too late to block or dodge, so he hit Zhengjiu's stunt!

"Pfft-!"

The wolf took the blow, suffered severe injuries, and involuntarily spat out a mouthful of acidic water.

But what's more troublesome is that he can feel that his body is being eroded by toxins, and Zhengjiu's poisonous hands have poisoned him!

The wolf still wanted to hold himself up, but the injuries, poisoning, and the physical condition that had not fully recovered before made him unable to do so. He only lifted his body a little and fell to the ground helplessly.

Just seeing this, he also put down his knife.

"...He's just a country ninja after all, that's all."

He dropped the wolf, turned around and walked towards the man hiding in the grass again.

And the wolf…

In the chaos, he suddenly heard a voice, the voice of Qingzi Jiulang that he was extremely familiar with.

"Wolf...live with my blood..."

His eyes suddenly opened!

Just as he was about to walk away, he saw illusory cherry blossom petals suddenly floating in the air.

He quickly turned around, only to see that the wolf had used the knife to support his body and stood up again!

There was a look of horror in his eyes: "You should have already..."

But he reacted immediately and stabbed directly with the knife!

"...Then I'll kill you again!"

However, the wolf opened his eyes, faced the oncoming force, turned slightly sideways, then raised his leg and stepped on it!

"Dang——!"

The knife that was coming straight at him was stepped on by the wolf and stabbed into the ground.

Looking at Zhengjiu with horrified eyes, the wolf suddenly said: "I remembered..."

"…how I fought!"

The wolf turned the knife in his hand and stabbed Zhengjiu as well!

In an instant, he burst out with energy and pulled out the knife, while also forcing the wolf to take a step back. But before he could pursue him, the wolf rushed over and swung the knife at him!

"clang--!!"

He was blocking, blocking again, and looking for opportunities to counterattack, but the wolf's knife-swinging movements were completely different. Although they were not completely different from each other, they were still far smoother than before.

He tried to parry repeatedly, but he couldn't stop the energy in his body from being consumed by the wolf. The greater the energy consumption, the more holes in his defense will become, eventually forming a vicious cycle.

He just understood that if he continued like this, he would only be defeated and die.

So, he had to find an opportunity to spill all the poisonous powder used to perform the poisonous hand skills and throw it at the wolf!

Wolf: "Hmm...!?"

He quickly retreated to avoid the poisonous powder, but Zhengjiu also seized the opportunity and wanted to escape.

However, the wolf would not let him run away so easily.

The wolf raised his knife and stepped forward suddenly!

He twisted his body in the air, concentrated his energy on the blade, and followed the rotating posture to draw two faint arcs in the air!

Whirlwind!

Just this time, I couldn't dodge, and was slashed in the arm by the wolf!

Blood spurted out, and more importantly, this blow disrupted the airflow in Zhengjiu's body, causing his body to stiffen instantly and he fell directly to the ground.

Just as he was about to get up, the wolf came over and pierced his bone with a knife.

"ah--!"

Just then he let out a short scream, then pulled back and looked at the wolf with hatred.

The wolf was also unceremonious, simply destroying his limbs, and then lifted him up.

"I have something to ask you."

Zheng just ignored it and just spat at the wolf.

"Bah——!" The wolf looked at him, and it was clear from his eyes that he was not someone who would succumb to torture.

"...I understand, then I'll send you on your way."

The wolf raised the wedge pill and was about to stab it with a knife.

But suddenly!

A faint flash of fire flashed in the distance in the direction of Ashina Castle, and then a bullet flew from a very far distance and accurately hit Masaki's head!

"puff--"

Zheng Jiu's head exploded immediately like a watermelon hit by a sledgehammer! The blood spurted out splattered all over the wolf.

Wolf:"…!?"

He turned his head and looked towards where the bullet came from, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see where it was.

The wolf could only look in the direction of Ashina Castle, astonished:

"That's...what..."

…

Wei Ming City, Yixin residence, adjacent to the top of the watchtower.

Li You was squatting on the roof of the building, holding his 1.8-meter-long, dark anti-material sniper rifle in his hand.

It was this gun just now that shot Gu Yingzhong Zhengjiu's head from a long distance, increasing Li You's head count a little.

[Achievement: Shadow Killer]

[Achievement content: Hunt 10 Lone Shadows (2/10), including at least two leaders (0/2). 】

Li You clicked his tongue, a little dissatisfied.

"This guy looks very strong. He can even kill a wolf, but he turns out to be no leader."

This was also the reason why he couldn't hear the words from the wolf side and didn't know that the lonely shadow who was headshot by him was Zheng Zai.

Otherwise, he would definitely take action personally, capture Zhengjiu, torture him severely, and ask for some information.

Gu Yingzhong is right, this guy is also famous in the game.

In the memories of his adoptive father, the leader of the group of lonely shadows who guarded the entrance of Hirata's main house three years ago with Python Juzo, was also the body chopped up by Tengu Isshin at the White Snake Shrine three years later.

However, after cutting him, Isshin showed signs of coughing and fatigue. Although this is related to Yishin's deteriorating health, it is undeniable that Zheng Jing must have some strength.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Li You.

He stood up, looked at the two people watching beside him, and said with a smile:

"What, did I lie to you?"

The two people beside him were holding a modern telescope and were staring in the direction of the Tiger's Pass Staircase.

One of them is Genichiro. He put down the telescope in his hand, his face full of surprise. But rather than being surprised by Li You's shooting skills, he was more concerned about the telescope in his hand, so much so that he rubbed it repeatedly and looked at it.

"This thing is much easier to use than the eagle tube."

The other person was tall, but his whole body was wrapped in white robes and bandages. Only a pair of eyes were exposed. He looked indistinguishable from male to female.

This man put down the telescope later than Genichiro, and after looking at this magical prop, he turned to Li You and said in a hoarse voice:

"...Your muskets are indeed more sophisticated than those used by our people."

"Including... this thing is also very impressive.

"You won."

The man shook the telescope in his hand and let out a genuine sigh.

Li You smiled and said, "In that case, can our deal be established?"

“I provide you with samples of new muskets and bullets for your research in exchange for your assistance in this war.

"Of course, the promise I made before to hand over the territory of the Yamashita Gaofeng family to you after the war also counts.

"What do you think... Chief Baiteng?"

Naturally, this guy dressed in white, whose gender cannot even be identified, is one of the two patriarchs of the Snake Eyes clan, Snake Eyes White Vine.

Upon hearing Li You's question, Bai Teng's eyes flashed and he fell into thinking.

When she was hesitant, Genichiro on the side also pulled Li You aside and asked: "Are you really going to give them your gun?"

Li You nodded: "Of course that's the case. Since the Snake Eyes clan wants more than just a living space, then we can just do what they want and get them to agree to participate in the war."

Genichiro paused and then said: "...But, you are a businessman, right? Why do you put so much effort into helping us? What's the benefit to you?"

Li You looked at him strangely: "It's already now, and you still ask this?"

Genichiro: "..."

"...Because I really don't know what you want, Li You."

…

Last night, Li You gave Yixin emergency treatment, and the results of the treatment were not very good.

Isshin's illness is too serious. Although he has received treatment, the outcome is still uncertain.

Ai Ji judged that Yi Xin's condition might not get better in these two days, but might even get worse. But as long as you can get through this, you will get better.

In this regard, both Genichiro and Eima felt heavy in their hearts. On the contrary, after waking up, Isshin himself said that he would be able to survive this small ordeal.

So, under Aiji's suggestion, Yixin closed the door of his residence and began to concentrate on recuperating.

During this period, except for Li You and the others who were treating Isshin and Yingma who were responsible for taking care of his life, even Genichiro couldn't see him.

This is what Aiji said, because Yixin has a lung disease, so just in case, it is better to isolate him.

Therefore, the rumors circulating in the city that "Isshin fell ill" are not entirely false.

Although Genichirō was worried about Isshin's health, Ashina could only rely on him now that Isshin was recovering.

So, after leaving Isshin's residence, Genichirō immediately called Li You out alone.

"...The Snake Eyes are willing to talk to us."

Li You: "Oh? Isn't that a good thing?"

Genichirō: "But what they want is not just a piece of land."

Li You was a little confused, and Genichirō immediately explained to him that he sent a special person yesterday - in fact, a Snake Eye member who joined Ashina - to negotiate with the Snake Eyes tribe.

After asking them and talking to the Snake Eyes tribe, Genichirō came to the conclusion that most ordinary Snake Eyes people were very enthusiastic about a resting place, but the elites in the tribe were not very interested in it.

Especially the two chiefs of the Snake Eyes tribe, Hakuto and Hakuaki, they said that unless Ashina could offer a firearm weapon that was better than theirs in exchange, they would not agree to join the war.

In fact, Genichirō also understood that what Shirafugi and Hakuaki wanted were the elite troops of the inner court, the new muskets used by the Red Army, and the special gunpowder formula.

Ashina did capture a small number of muskets of the inner court army, but the gunpowder formula of the Red Army was really beyond their reach.

The two clan leaders of the Snake Eyes tribe naturally understood this truth. They proposed this condition just to make Genichirō give up.

After all, they didn't want to get into a big fight with their neighbor Ashina.

However, they didn't expect that there was a strange "traveling merchant" from the West in Ashina Castle.

So Genichirō immediately found Li You.

Li You didn't hide it either, and gave Genichirō a few spare guns on him, asking him to take them to the Snake Eyes tribe.

And sure enough, after seeing the power of those modern rifles including the Springfield, Shirafugi of Snake Eyes was shocked, and immediately rushed to Ashina Castle at night to meet Li You in person.

Of course, Li You would not miss this opportunity. After showing her the power of those guns, he struck while the iron was hot and proposed the terms of the deal.

Seeing that Bai Teng was obviously interested, Li You took out his anti-material sniper rifle as a treasure at the bottom of the box, and wanted to compete with Bai Teng in long-range sniping.

He proposed that the two of them shoot at a distance from the top of the watchtower. Whoever shoots farther and more accurately will win.

As the head of the clan, Bai Teng of Snake Eyes naturally refused to show weakness and accepted it on the spot.

And Li You did not propose this competition for fun, because he just heard a piece of news from the Ranbo people who came to report the news and were "hired" by him.

The wolf woke up.

So it happened that Li You could observe the situation.

In addition to unlimited bullets, the anti-material sniper rifle produced by the system is also equipped with a switchable night vision scope with ultra-long focus.

With this assistance, it is really nothing for Li You now to shoot from the watchtower next to the castle tower to the tiger's mouth ladder with one shot.

So of course, the winner is Li You.

At this moment.

Bai Teng looked at the new "musket" handed over by Li You and hesitated.

She looked at Li You again, and finally sighed and said:

"Well! You are indeed sincere, I can agree to your deal."

Li You was overjoyed: "Really?"

Bai Teng nodded, but added: "However, you must do everything you promised, otherwise, the Snake Eyes Clan will fight to the death with Ashina!"

Seeing Li You and Genichirō nod, she said: "In addition, I can only represent my tribe, that is, the people of the Iron Cannon Fortress. I will talk to Bai Qiu, but I can't guarantee whether she is willing to agree."

Li You: "?"

"Isn't this right, Chief Bai Teng?"

"Although you are divided into two groups, you are still members of the same clan. After getting the new muskets, won't you communicate with each other? Then I will lose part of my combat power in vain?"

Bai Teng said: "... This is true. Okay, I will bring Bai Qiu's clansmen here, but I can't guarantee Bai Qiu herself."

"She is different from me. If you want her to join, you may need to talk to her yourself."

Li You: "Okay, I'll go back."

Bai Teng nodded, and then without hesitation, he called his men and asked them to go back and inform the clansmen in the Iron Cannon Fortress.

The Snake Eyes Clan has always acted vigorously.

The same is true for asking for rewards. Bai Teng took the guns given to her by Li You without hesitation, went down from the roof, and went back to her guest room to study.

Li You then looked at Genichirō and answered his previous question:

"There is no special reason. I just like the scenery of Ashina very much and plan to live here for a while. About a month?"

"So before that, if Ashina is conquered by the Imperial Household, I will be very upset. It's that simple."

Genichirō: "..."

"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

Li You spread his hands.

No one believes the truth. This world is difficult.

Genichirō picked up the telescope again and looked at the wolf in the distance who was communicating with the man he had just rescued, and asked:

"...Qingzi's ninja has also woken up. You asked me to withdraw all the soldiers outside the city. Is it because of him?"

Li You actually wanted to say that this was the case, but he knew that if he said this, Genichirō would probably not listen to him later.

So Li You replied: "Not really. First of all, there are many residential houses in the city area, but most of them have evacuated and there is no one."

"The terrain in that area is complicated, and it will consume a lot of manpower to defend it, and it is easy to be defeated one by one.

"So it is better to withdraw all of them and leave only guards behind the Tiger's Mouth Stairs. With the Buddha candy provided by Xianfeng Temple, the two warrior generals can easily guard the pass.

"And it just so happens that after the news of the old man's illness spread, the rats in the inner court have also been very active. We withdraw our manpower and strengthen the defense of the city, which can also prevent them from taking advantage of the situation.

"Look, didn't we catch a bunch of random people sent by the inner court last night?

"As for the wolf...it's also a reason. He is one of us anyway, why let the soldiers die in his hands? It's completely meaningless.

"So, in summary, giving up the city area is a better choice. "

Li You had something else to say, which was that if the inner court really attacked, this area would not be able to resist at all and would be taken down.

So why bother? Just defend the Tiger's Mouth Stairs.

After listening to Li You's words, Genichirō nodded first, then looked at him again and said:

"Although what you said makes some sense, why do I always feel that you are letting that guy go?"

Seeing that he was so sharp, Li You did not hide it and smiled: "Indeed. Don't you think he is your defeated opponent? But at the same time, it is also a fact that he carries the power of Dragon's Heir. "

"According to the precepts of ninjas, the master must be rescued if he is taken away, so he will definitely come to you.

"So why not let him in, you fight him again, and you can also confirm how strong the ninja selected by Jiulang is, isn't it just right?"

Genichirō glanced at Li You. After this period of contact, he actually had a rough idea of ​​some of Li You's thoughts.

For example, now, Genichirō saw that Li You actually thought that Wolf was stronger than him, and he was going to let him see it through facts.

And Genichirō was so proud that he would not avoid a fight. So he did not say anything, but just snorted coldly:

"Hmph! Then let him come, I will let this defeated general know how big the gap between him and me is!"

Li You laughed and applauded: "I'll wait and see."
