Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Chapter 274 Recruiting hackers, unexpected cooperation

It's night in Sasha's apartment.

"Um, um, ah..."

Sasha, sweating profusely and panting, stood up and looked at Li You.

"Where is your mobile phone made? I can't understand its system at all!"

Li You didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say: "Anyway... is there any problem with installing the software?"

Sasha lay back on the hacker chair helplessly and replied: "That's okay. Although I can't understand the internal code of your phone, it has a special entrance for installing functional programs...I'll give it to you now. Put it on."

Several screens in the room alternated between light and dark, and a large amount of data passed by like water, then fell silent again. Sasha took off his information mask and said:

"Okay, the map navigation, local network interface, multi-function language pack... and other programs you need have been installed. Can you take a look?"

Li You picked up the phone: "No, I trust your skills."

"Of course! My hacking skills are very good!" Sasha raised his head proudly.

"However, this phone of yours is really powerful. It looks very old, but its performance is exaggeratedly high. I even doubt that after debugging, it can be used to assist in quick intrusion!"

Hearing her comment, Li You was moved and took notice, but on the surface he just smiled and replied: "That's a pity, I don't understand hacker skills."

"Humph, then you have to have a good relationship with me, otherwise where will you find such a powerful and reliable hacker in the future?" Sasha curled up the corner of his mouth and joked.

"Well, you're right." Li You felt that this little girl was quite cheerful, so he patted her head.

"Hey!" Sasha was a little dissatisfied, "Don't treat me like a child!"

"Okay, I know." Li You said, took out his portable translator and put it on his ear.

This earphone-shaped translator from the matte world allows him to understand all systematic languages, but it cannot translate his words to others. So he hadn't used it for a long time since Sekiro World.

However, when sorting out his backpack, Li You unexpectedly discovered that this translator can be connected to his newly purchased smartphone, and then it can be used as a smart device.

This is quite convenient.

By the way, he also noticed during the experiment that this smartphone has quite a lot of functions.

If nothing else, Li You discovered that the vehicle summoning function on the phone was exactly the same as in the game.

In other words, as long as he scans the corresponding SID card of the car into his mobile phone, he can summon the vehicle anytime and anywhere just like in the game.

There is no restriction that he can only be summoned on the nearest road. As long as he adjusts the settings, he can be summoned even in buildings.

Li You also tried to park the car far away before summoning, but the result was the same as when he used the wooden mailbox in Tianji Province to summon the Messenger Demon God. Unknowingly, the vehicle appeared on the street, and the autonomous driving came to him. .

Neither he nor the pedestrians around him noticed anything unusual.

"This function is very convenient, and if you think about it, it's really powerful. But if I summon it in the building, it won't have this effect, right?"

But no matter what, Li You has always trusted the powerful performance of the props produced by his own system, so there is no need to worry.

He tested it one last time, and after confirming that the translator could adapt to the newly installed functions, he put away the phone.

"By the way, Sasha." Li You turned to look at Sasha who was taking a swig of water. "Is there any new news about Mann's big job?"

"Hmm..." Sasha unconsciously put his index finger on the edge of his lower lip, "I don't know the specific content. Mann only said that he was not ready yet. It seems that more hackers are needed."

"Hacker?" Li You looked at her and asked knowingly, "Are you not enough?"

"Although I am also very powerful, don't I have to deal with Arasaka this time?"

Sasha didn't think there was anything strange, "Their network protection is exaggeratedly strong. If we can have excellent hackers working together, our chances will indeed be much greater."

"Indeed." Li You nodded, "But, are there more hackers..."

he mused.

At this moment, Sasha received a call. She turned around and saw that it was Mann calling.

"Hey, Sasha!" Mann greeted, "Where are you? Do you have time now?"

Sasha did not answer the call on a personal terminal, but on his mobile phone, so Li You could also hear it.

She replied: "I'm in the apartment. Now...it's okay for now. What's wrong?"

Mann noticed something very keenly: "What do you mean, do you have someone over there?"

Sasha glanced at Li You, saw him nodding slightly, and then replied: "Well, Li You and the others are here with me."

"Oh..." Mann paused, then raised his voice slightly, "Am I disturbing you?"

There was a faint blush on Sasha's face: "No! If you have anything to say, tell me quickly, or I will die!"

"Okay, let's get down to business." Mann laughed and his voice deepened, "As I said before, this mission requires more hackers and elites with professional skills."

“I found a hacker I had worked with several times before and roped her into the team, and that person also knew an excellent hacker who was very suitable for our tasks.

“But when she went to invite that person, she was rejected by him—he seemed unwilling to join us in dealing with Arasaka.

"Right now, we don't have any other suitable candidates, so let me ask you, do you have any connections in this area? As long as you are reliable, the price can be easily negotiated."

After listening to Mann's explanation, Sasha also frowned slightly and said: "As for other hackers, I do know them, but they are either unable to handle this commission, or they have the ability but can't get away."

"Good hackers are valuable everywhere, and their employers won't be happy to let them take risks."

"That's true..." Mann didn't sound particularly disappointed, "Okay, that's okay, I'll think of something else."

Mann was about to cut off the communication as he spoke, but at this moment, Li You suddenly spoke:

"Can I ask, what is the name of the new hacker?"

Mann on the other end of the phone was obviously taken aback: "Li You? Why do you ask this?"

Li You only said: "Actually, I have also heard about some excellent hackers from my friends. I want to see if it is the person you are looking for. If not, maybe you can try here?"

"That's...that's okay." Mann obviously had a little doubt, but still replied, "The new hacker is called Qi Wei. He is an experienced mercenary, introduced by Mr. Faraday. As for her friends, I am not familiar with them either. , only known as Lucy."

--really!

When they met two days ago, Mann mentioned that he was going to find more manpower, and Li You made a guess. Now it is confirmed that what he is looking for is Qi Wei and Lucy!

These two people need no introduction. Qiwei is a hacker on Mann's team, and Lucy is not only an excellent hacker, but also the heroine of the Edgewalker animation.

Judging from her background story, it is not surprising that Lucy is unwilling to get involved in such a commission that may directly confront Arasaka.

"How's it going? Do you know him?" Mann asked on the other end.

"Well...unfortunately, these two are the people I thought of. Since one of them is unwilling to join, there is nothing we can do." Li You replied, "But I do know a few hackers. Maybe you haven't found one yet." Pass them?"

"...Okay, you send me your name and I'll check." Mann obviously didn't have any expectations.

"good."

Li You returned the phone to Sasha, and Mann gave a few more instructions before hanging up the phone.

As for the list sent to Mann, Li You thought about it and found that he didn't really have many choices.

Coincidentally, in the Cyberpunk Shadows of the Past DLC, there is also a task that requires him to find the help of an outstanding hacker to crack and obtain certain data.

If the player completes enough side tasks and commissions, there will be a total of five people to contact here.

They are Nicks from Afterlife, Nanchang Xun from Wakako, Carol Emeka from Adekado, Yoko from T-BUG, and Sandra Dorsett.

This task is done very carefully, and different hackers get different data. The best performer among them was the Knicks, and the worst was Nanchang Xun, whom Li You had just met not long ago.

What's interesting is that not only did Nanchangxun get the messiest data, but he was also discovered and injured. Even when you go to get the data, if you don't remind him to run away, he will disappear after a while, and then Wakako will call and scold him.

I can only say that I am a pretty good guy, but my hacker skills are a bit lacking in comparison.

In Li You's case, one must consider whether the hackers are willing to take action. Like Sasha said, this kind of thing is too risky.

The same is true in the game. Players must complete side tasks for the corresponding characters and make them owe themselves a favor before they can invite them. If you just come to your door and say you want to discuss business, they may directly upload a restart prosthetic eye + prosthetic body failure and send you out.

So Li You directly eliminated Carol, who was impossible to help anyway, Sandra, who was extremely vigilant, and Nanchang Xun, who was not quite up to par.

Then even if T-BUG is added, there will only be three people.

As for Lucy, Li You has no good solution. Since he didn't want to, he really couldn't think of any reason that could persuade her to participate in the commission - unless she was threatened with her origin.

But doing this is not in line with Li You's character, and secondly, the probability of Lucy choosing to fight him to the death is much greater than being obedient, so it is really unnecessary.

Li You just sent the list.

Mann's reply also came quickly: "The Knicks are out of business, I've asked about it a long time ago. As for Yoko, she seems to have a lot of business, I don't trust her very much. This last T-BUG... I don't I’ve heard of it too, so go and ask.”

"Good luck."

"Hey, I hope so."

Putting down his phone, Li You thought about what he still needed to prepare, and then planned to go shopping outside.

But Sasha tugged at him: "...want to eat?"

Li You: "?"

Didn’t you just have dinner with Rebecca before you came back?

"Ah, no...I want to say..."

Li You thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I'm planning to take Yuzi and the others out for a walk and buy some things. Do you want to come with me?"

"I'll do it!" Sasha replied without hesitation.

Not long after, he was in the largest gun shop in the north of Little Chinatown.

The shopkeeper placed a chip box on the counter and said, "This is the firearm blueprint you want. To be honest, although the production specifications are not a top secret, ordinary people can't get it, let alone take it. Come out and sell it, so you have to get a good price.”

Li You looked at the chip box. It was blank, but according to the shop owner, it contained Lexington's production specifications.

He didn't waste much time and asked, "How much is it?"

The shop recommends opening five fingers.

"5,000 euros? It's quite reasonable."

"How can you! Fifty thousand, no counter-offer!" The shop owner shook his head vigorously.

Li You: "..."

"Farewell."

He pushed the chip box back, turned around and left.

"Hey, wait, don't leave in a hurry, otherwise 49,900 euros will do..."

After taking Aggie and Sasha out of the gun shop and saying hello to Yuzi who was guarding the car, Li You got into the driver's seat.

Sasha and Aggie also got in the car, and they squeezed into the passenger seat. Colby Lone Peak is a two-seater car. Fortunately, the car is spacious enough that these two people can barely fit in it. "These gun shops are really dark. Even a Lexington blueprint costs 50,000 euros." Li You couldn't help complaining, "Can this kind of business really sell?"

Sasha replied: "Black is indeed dark, but the main reason is that generally only technical people will buy this kind of thing, and such people are relatively rich, or at least willing to spend money to make it to the standard." It’s money, that’s why they dare to pay such a high price.”

"Actually, if Li You want the drawings of these common firearms and general plug-ins, you can also go to Pila."

"Pyrrha? Rebecca's brother?" Aggie asked.

"Yeah! He is a technical expert in our team. Although he has an unpleasant personality, he is still very capable."

Aggie remembered the previous meeting with Pila, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "It is indeed very unpleasant. I really can't imagine that he and Rebecca are actually brother and sister..."

Sasha covered her mouth and smiled: "I understand, I was shocked when I first heard about it. Do you hate him so much?"

Aggie shook his head: "That guy has such a frivolous temper. I always feel that he will get into conflicts with passers-by over trivial matters, and then get his head blown off in a daze."

"What, it's so scary." Sasha just thought it was a joke and didn't take it to heart.

Li You on the side: Good guy, great prophecy.

But then again, he hadn't thought of it before. Pyrrha was a technical geek, so she should indeed have these things. It seemed like she could talk to him. only…

It's just that Li You is actually not very good at dealing with people with Pila's personality.

"Anyway, let's go get something to eat." Li You said, "I'm really hungry after walking around for so long."

Sasha immediately said: "Ah, let's go to the Turbo Bar! There are vendors by the river at night, and there is a sister who makes something that I think is delicious."

"Oh?" Li You didn't pay attention to this kind of roadside stall where he couldn't shop when he was playing games, but he didn't mind giving it a try. Anyway, his requirements for Night City food were at a minimum.

"Then go ahead."

It's not far from the bar. Li You drove through the colorful lights of Night City and arrived at the riverside.

Sasha pulled Aiji out of the car and quickly found the stall: "Li You! Here!"

As she said that, she gestured to the stall owner: "I want four...no, five servings!"

"Okay." The stall owner is a young Asian woman. She is not beautiful, but her eyebrows are very gentle, making it easy for people to feel close to her.

"Wait a moment, there is another guest in front."

Sasha and Aggie stood in front of the stall waiting, Yuzu leaned on the railing on the side and looked at the scenery.

Li You walked to the stall and looked at the food sold by the stall owner. He found that it was some kind of dish similar to stinky tofu, but it didn't have such a pungent smell.

"There is still such food in Night City."

He originally wanted to chat with the stall owner, but when he turned his head, he saw the "previous customer" leaning on the edge of the railing.

Short white hair with a hint of rainbow light flashed before his eyes, and a tight-fitting black jumpsuit and a sleeved white short jacket that exposed her waist outlined her stunning figure.

The attractive-looking girl came to the stall and took the packaging bag handed over by the stall owner.

"Thank you." Her voice was cold and sweet, but also revealed a hint of indifference.

“Come again next time~”

The girl didn't pay attention to the eyes of the people around her and turned around to leave.

"Li You——!"

Sasha's shout brought Li You's attention back to his eyes.

"What are you looking at!" Sasha stared at Li You's face, her cheeks bulging with anger, "Is she that pretty?"

Li You waved his hand: "No, you misunderstood. That person just now is Qi Wei's friend, Lucy, whom Mann mentioned."

Sasha was stunned: "Is it her?"

"Well, I was thinking about asking her just now, but we didn't know each other, so I didn't ask her."

"Yeah..." Sasha glanced at Lucy's striking back again, as if he wanted to say something, but then his expression suddenly changed, "Wait, is that...!?"

"Boom——!!"

Before she finished speaking, there was an explosion on the street not far away!

A luxury car on the street was suddenly engulfed in flames, and pieces of debris were shot in all directions with an explosion!

"careful!"

Li You pulled Sasha over and protected her behind him. Yuzi reacted faster and had already stood in front of Li You and the other three, waving his hand to push away a few pieces of debris.

On the other side, Lucy, who had not gone far, was also affected, but her movements were also very agile. She rolled to avoid the flying debris, and rolled over to hide behind the railing.

On the street, a thin, distorted-faced middle-aged man with a Mediterranean appearance was holding a Saratoga submachine gun made of military technology in one hand, and taking out a fragmentation grenade in the other hand, laughing strangely, and stuffing it into the still burning luxury car!

"Bang--!"

This time, the luxury car was completely engulfed in flames, and the people who were originally sitting in the car gradually turned into charcoal amid screams.

The man who did all this was still laughing strangely, and it seemed that he did not intend to stop, but pointed the gun at the pedestrians on the roadside who did not have time to escape.

"NCPD--!! Put down your weapons..."

"Da Da Da Da!!"

Two patrolmen on the street rushed over after hearing the sound, but they were shot into sieves by a string of bullets by the man before they could even finish their fixed lines.

The alarm sounded loudly.

"Attention all police officers in this area: We have received a report of a crime on Japan Street. The suspect is unstable, and two police officers have been killed. All personnel in each unit should pay attention to safety."

On the street next to it, Li You and his group also hid on the stairs down to the river. It is not a good idea to fight a cyber psychopath in an open area.

"Beep beep beep--"

"Li You, it's me, Regina." A familiar voice came from the headset, "I just received news that a suspected cyber psychopathic attack occurred near the Turbo Bar on Japan Street. I want you to confirm it."

"You are well-informed." Li You complained, "It is indeed a cyber psychopath, because I happened to be next to it."

Regina on the opposite side was silent for a moment, and then said: "In that case, then you try to subdue him as soon as possible, I will let my people be on standby at any time. The attack happened on the street. If it is not dealt with quickly, the terrorist mobile team will come."

"Easy to say." Li You did not complain, and immediately began to deal with it.

"Yuzu, Edge, the old tactics!"

"Understood."

"Sasha, can you upload weapons or prosthetic malfunctions to him?"

"It's a bit difficult. The prosthetics on him are all military-grade. I need some time!"

Li You held the knife at his waist: "Then..."

"I'll help."

A cold voice sounded, Li You turned his head, and saw Lucy approaching silently.

Facing Li You's slightly puzzled eyes, she said concisely: "NCPD has blocked this block. No one can go out before the problem is solved."

"You are also mercenaries. Little sister, are you a hacker? I'll help you control that guy."

"I'm not small!" Sasha pouted, a little dissatisfied, but didn't throw a tantrum at this time, "Then come on, don't hold back!"

"Hehe."

Lucy didn't say anything back at all, just connected to the communication channel by herself, then poked her head out from the stairs and looked at the cyber psychopath who was making a fuss on the street.

Sasha was not to be outdone and also locked onto the man.

The man was shuttling back and forth on the street, fighting fiercely with the NCPD who kept rushing over.

He stepped sideways like a crab, his movements were funny, but he was very fast, and he really dodged most of the bullets. As for the remaining ones, they hit his subcutaneous armor and were all bounced off.

Soon, the police officers who came to support were slaughtered by him again.

After there was no one left to kill, the man turned his head and looked at the stairs where pedestrians were hiding.

"There are two seconds left for the upload to be completed... one second... now! Do it!"

Lucy shouted in the communication channel. Her and Sasha's quick cracking took effect almost at the same time. The man's movements suddenly paused, and the prosthesis on his body and the submachine gun in his hand all emitted electric sparks and began to "sizzle".

Li You rushed out without hesitation, unsheathed his samurai sword, and slashed at the arm of the cyberpsychopath in an instant!

Regina always asked to keep the person alive, but Li You didn't care much, but he didn't kill him immediately.

Just cripple the limbs.

"Swish!"

The man was hit by both weapon failure and prosthetic failure at the same time. Even if the man was a cyber psychopath with military prosthetics, he couldn't resist. The prosthetic right arm was cut off by Li You and flew straight into the sky!

The man staggered back, but there was still a crazy smile on his face. He looked at Li You, and a mantis knife suddenly popped out from his left arm, and he quickly pounced on Li You!

"Be careful! Part of his prosthetic has been restored!" Sasha's voice came from the communication channel.

Li You wanted to swing his knife to block it. The mantis knife was just a cold weapon anyway, and he was not afraid of hand-to-hand combat.

However, this man's reaction was much faster than another cyber psychopath Li You had seen before. The prosthetic light on his body flashed, and the whole person's movement instantly accelerated. The mantis knife was like lightning, piercing Li You's face!

Sian Westin!

"Dang--!!"

The sound of blacksmithing that had not been heard for a long time rang out, and Li You still accurately blocked the man's mantis knife, and the attached energy also shocked him back a step. The man looked up at Li You, and a trace of doubt appeared in his crazy eyes.

But then, he rushed towards Li You again regardless of anything!

"Roar--!!"

However, at this time, a roar sounded, and Yuzu rushed out from the side at high speed and crashed directly into the man!

The man who had already become a cyber psychopath was also startled, and instinctively wanted to dodge, but with a burst of electric current jumping in his body, the prosthesis of his legs became uncontrollable again.

——Quick crack: hinder movement, uploader is Lucy.

The man wanted to roar, but Yuzu had already hit him!

"Bang--!"

The man flew backwards and crashed into the NCPD police car on the side of the road, leaving a deep dent in the door.

Li You stepped forward, swung his knife, and separated the man's left arm and leg prostheses from his body, then used voice control to light up the hung call.

"…Hello, Regina? I have him under control, send someone quickly, the NCPD won't wait."

"Understood, my people are nearby, he will... Damn it!" Regina suddenly cursed, "Li You, stay away first!"

"The terrorist mobile team is here!"
