Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 111 Welcome to Harlan, junior!
Early afternoon.

Over the Harlan ghetto, another transport plane flew gently over.

Kyle Crane sits in the cabin wearing goggles and a skydiving suit.

He had headphones on and was listening to a mission briefing from his GRE liaison.

"…As a result, Qadir Suleiman stole the documents and threatened to publish them."

"In addition, we have sent an agent before you. His name is Li You. The details will be sent to you later."

"Li You successfully entered Harlan City before and established contact with the survivor organization-Tower, and also found clues to the document."

"But later, his identity was discovered by Qadir Suleiman who was hiding in secret. He was besieged by his men and died unfortunately."

"He dedicated his life for the safety of all mankind, and you are the one to take over his work."

"Before his death, Li You handed over the relevant clues of the document to a certain member in the tower, and required his successor to gain that person's trust in order to retrieve the clues."

"So your most important task is to find this person and find out the clues left by Li You."

Crane listened quietly and didn't react. He just rubbed his thumb and index finger.

"Please note that Li You did not inform him of his identity, so you need to find it yourself."

"Also, be careful when you contact us. According to Li You's last words, there are also Suleiman's eyes and ears inside the tower."

"Finally, your mission is:"

"First, find the clues left by Li You and learn the location of the files."

"Second, confirm the identity of Qadir Suleiman as much as possible."

"Third, combine all the intelligence to find the document."

"Good luck."

I don't know if it was because an agent had been "sacrificed", but the GRE liaison officer spoke much more carefully this time than Li You did, as if he was afraid that something might happen to Crane.

While the GRE liaison officer was speaking, the plane had already arrived at its scheduled location.

"Get ready to skydive——"

Still yelling from the pilot, Crane put on his goggles and came to the cabin opening.

"Jump--!"

Crane jumped out of the cabin!

The wind was howling, but Kelan's professional quality was much better than that of Li You. At least he was not afraid of heights.

So he passed through the clouds, opened his umbrella smoothly, and began to fall gently.

This time, GRE even carefully selected the landing site, and finally chose a relatively empty and gentle beach in the southeast of the slum area.

Although this beach is not big and has boulders scattered around it, it is not a beach, but it is still much better than a slum area lined with stilts.

So Crane's landing this time was quite easy, different from Li You and himself in the game plot.

After successfully landing, Crane immediately unhooked his parachute, took out his regular clothes from his backpack and put them on. Then he planned to confirm his location and find the way to the tower.

Then he turned around and saw a pair of eyes staring at him from the low grass not far away.

Crane was immediately shocked.

But he immediately calmed down, spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions, and while slowly approaching, he shouted to the man: "Hello, friend! Where is this place?"

He has not forgotten what he learned in the GRE agent emergency training class. When contacting locals, he must first disguise his identity, and secondly, show goodwill and gain their trust.

Crane was not familiar with the situation in Harlan City, so he obeyed.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he spoke, the man in the grass suddenly let out a very strange whimper, then rushed out of the grass and rushed towards him!

"Holy shit!"

Crane was shocked and quickly retreated to avoid it. Fortunately, this "person" was not very fast.

No, that definitely doesn’t count as a human being.

In just a short period of time, Crane had already seen its appearance clearly.

The skin on the body turned yellow and rotted in many places, and all the hair on the body surface fell off.His hands, face, and especially his mouth were covered with semi-solidified blood stains.

No matter how you look at it, this guy cannot be called a human, but more like a "zombie" that appears in the movie.

"This is...the person infected with the Harlan virus!?"

Crane was horrified. He watched the monster jump into the air, stagger, then turn around and stagger towards him. Crane immediately pulled out the pistol on his waist.

"Don't come here and shoot me if you come near me again!"

Crane uttered the classic line of cannon fodder in zombie movies.

But this can’t be blamed on him. Who knows what is going on with GRE? He obviously wants to weaponize the Harlan virus, so he should be very clear about the characteristics of people infected with the Harlan virus.

But when they trained agents, they obviously didn't tell them this key information.

Therefore, as a native American, Crane's first reaction was to use a gun to warn the other party to keep their distance, which makes perfect sense.

But how could the Gnawer zombie listen to him?Still whimpering, he moved closer to Crane.

Although the protagonist Kyle Crane behaves stupidly sometimes in the plot, he has one undeniable advantage, that is, he is not a virgin.

When faced with an enemy, he should shoot when he should, and he would not hesitate when it was time to kill him. He never bothered with the painful question of "should he kill someone or not?"

So seeing that the warning was ineffective, Crane immediately prepared to shoot to eliminate the threat first.

But at this time, I suddenly heard someone shouting from a distance:
"Wait! Don't shoot!"

Crane originally didn't intend to pay attention, but he immediately noticed a sharp arrow coming through the air, so he immediately dodged back again!
But Crane soon realized that the arrow was not aimed at him.

The sharp arrow accurately penetrated the head of the zombie in front of Crane, and the arrowhead came out from the other side.The zombie was just an ordinary infected person. Naturally, it was killed with one arrow and fell to the ground.

Only then did Crane turn his head and look in the direction where the sound came from.

Then he saw a young woman with a black ponytail and smart clothes walking out from behind a tree.

With a vague glance, Crane noticed a simple short bow in her hand and a homemade quiver on her back with less than ten arrows left inside.

Of course, the strength and vigilance she showed in her actions made Crane even more surprised and alert.

Jed himself behaved without any abnormality, as if he didn't know anything, and asked very naturally:

"Where are you new from? You don't even know you can't use a gun in the city."

Crane really didn't know, and he was confused at that time: "Can't use a gun? Why?"

Jed glanced at him and realized that he was really not pretending to be confused, so he explained: "Because the sound of gunfire will attract all the infected people. If you don't want to die from the siege of the corpses, you'd better stay Quiet."

As he spoke, Jade did not forget his own job. He pretended to come to the parachute. After a brief search, he turned his head and looked at Crane:
"Where's the airdrop? Where did you take the airdrop?"

Crane didn't know how to answer for a moment and could only remain silent.

But Jed didn't intend to let him go. He came to him in two steps and asked, "Don't worry, I'm not from the Rice Gang and I won't rob him. If it's really you who took the airdrop, please look at it." See if there is an antidote in it, that’s something our people need very much.”

Strictly speaking, Jade's words were not lies, but he was telling the truth selectively.

Because Li You knew very well that Jade was not good at deceiving people, so he could only use this method.

Of course, he certainly did not specifically ask Jed to come to see Crane. Instead, he sent out several personnel with sufficient combat capabilities and brains in the tower, and made sure that everyone knew what they should say when they met Crane.

It's just that in the end it was Jade who found Crane first.

And Crane is also a smart man. He has already heard a lot of information from Jed's words, so he asked: "You... no, you want an antidote? Are you a group?"

Jed didn't immediately nod his head to admit it. Instead, he looked at Crane warily and asked, "Why are you asking this? You don't even know about us...you! Aren't you from Harlan!?"

Crane was also shocked and didn't understand how his identity was "discovered" after just two words.

He quickly made amends: "I was about to tell you this. In fact, I am a tourist. I accidentally deviated from the direction while skydiving, and finally landed here. The parachute over there is mine."

"As for the airdrops and antidotes you mentioned, I really don't know. Compared with this, can you tell me about these... um, zombies, what exactly is going on?"

Jade looked at him and didn't know how to answer.

"...Tourist? In Harran?"

Jade just felt that she couldn't even use the encyclopedia-like script Li You wrote for her.

Can this man get away with lying?
Crane also seemed to feel that his words were a bit too full of loopholes, so he quickly said: "Really, you have to believe me, I am indeed..."

"Okay." Jade, who finally recovered, interrupted him, "I know, you are an unlucky tourist who accidentally entered Harlan. In this case, you should really be unaware of Harlan's affairs, otherwise , I won’t come here to skydive at this time.”

"In short, it's a bad fate for you to end up in Haran, but fortunately it's not the worst outcome. Let's go."

Jade turned to leave, but Crane quickly followed and asked, "Where?"

Jed glanced at him and said, "Aren't you asking if we are a group here?"

"That's an easy question to answer, yes. I'm from an organization called 'The Towers', a group of survivors from the ghetto in Harlan."

"Come back with me. You have just arrived in Haran and you don't know anything. You will die if you are alone. Our people will explain everything here to you and show you the current situation in Haran."

Crane originally wanted to go to the tower, so of course he would not refuse after hearing this, so he said decisively:

"it is good."

……

After about an hour.

Jed took Crane back to the tower from the rocky beach in the southeast.Crane raised his head, looked at the two tall buildings side by side in front of him, and murmured in a low voice: "Is this the tower?"

Jade answered his question: "Yes, this is the tower. This building over here is our stronghold."

Crane was startled by her, and then said: "Your ears are really good."

Jade just smiled and said, "Let's go, the entrance is here."

Crane followed Jed into the tower and took the elevator all the way to the nineteenth floor and to the command room.

Then Crane saw a strong middle-aged man wearing yellow short-sleeves and a bloody bandage on his head open the door and hold Jade's hand firmly:

"Jade! Just get back safely."

Then the man looked at Crane: "Who is this...?"

Jed glanced at the bandage on Bracken's head with a strange look on his face, and Bracken glared at her vaguely, signaling her to stop talking nonsense and avoid getting involved.

So Jade briefly introduced: "I picked him up on the beach. He said that he was a tourist and accidentally entered Harlan while skydiving. So I didn't find the airdrop, sorry."

Bracken sighed heavily and said, "Oh, today is another fruitless day."

Then he seemed to remember something and looked at Crane: "Oh, I'm sorry, my friend, you are a tourist who came here by mistake, right? Then you are really unlucky. But I understand you, I still Those who want to come to Harlan to earn money to buy a house, ha!"

"So, you haven't asked for advice yet...?"

Crane quickly replied: "My name is Crane, Kyle Crane."

Bracken nodded: "Klan, okay, my name is Bracken, and I am the leader of the tower. Let me ask you first, you weren't bitten, were you? You were bitten by those wandering zombies."

Crane shook his head honestly: "No, thanks to...Jade, I'm fine."

"Very good." Bracken patted him on the shoulder, "Because if you are bitten, you will be infected, and the consumption of antidote will increase. But we don't have much antidote left. "

Crane couldn't help but ask: "What is this antidote...?"

Bracken just shook his head and sighed, and then said: "It is the key to everyone's survival. Forget it, you just arrived at the tower today, so you should have a good rest. We will talk about these things tomorrow."

"Jade, take Crane to the guest room."

Jade nodded, and then said to Crane: "Come with me."

Seemingly sensing that Crane was extremely confused, Jade kindly explained to Crane the current situation in Harlan City on the road, including the fact that zombies were overflowing and the infected survivors could only rely on antidotes to suppress the virus.

Immediately, Jade led Crane to a guest room and said, "I can only ask you to make do with the small room for a while. The floors below this building are not safe, and there is not much space for us to move."

"It's getting dark, so let's rest tonight. Wait until tomorrow, someone will come to show you the tower."

Even though there was a hundred reluctances in Crane's heart, Jed and the tower leader told him that they would talk tomorrow, so he could only give up questioning.

He came to the inside of the room, next to the window, took out the radio specially equipped by GRE, and started to contact the liaison officer.

"This is Crane."

"Klan? Didn't you tell me not to contact you casually?"

"Don't worry, I'm inside the tower now, in the room they specially assigned to me. There's no one around, and no one will eavesdrop."

"...Okay, it seems you have successfully sneaked into the tower. Has your identity been exposed?"

"Not yet, but there is no news about the clues left by the former agent. I will investigate slowly."

"Copy that, remember, time is running out."

"Understood, it's over Klan."

Crane hung up the communication and began to stand by the window, looking out at the city of Harlan shrouded in the dusk light.

On the other side, Bracken, Amir, Jade, Spike, and several other important figures in the tower were all gathered in the command room, discussing something.

After listening to everyone's reports, Bracken concluded: "It seems that it is basically certain that he is the new GRE agent that Li lobbied for."

Amir said: "Judging from your description, this is indeed the case. Let me contact him tomorrow and find out his purpose first."

No one else had any objections to this, but Jade said, "Then I'll contact Li You now."

……

Lights guard the base.

Li You sat at his desk, with a map of the old city of Harlan, also known as Zone Zero, spread out on the desk.

Of course, he was not looking at a paper map, but a 3D map generated by the system after inputting data.

On the 3D map, Li You marked all the buildings that Troy knew that had been occupied by the Rice Gang before they escaped, in red, and the safe areas of the survivors in blue.

Looking around, we can see that less than half of the old city has fallen under the control of the Rice Gang.

This was even just the situation yesterday, but today, the red color of the Rice Gang must have spread further.

Li You looked at the safe zone locations of several important NPCs that he had marked based on his memory, but saw that the blue dots were basically in the red area, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.

"There can be no further delay, the road to the old city must be opened as soon as possible!"

Li You had already sent people out to investigate earlier today, and he himself set off at the same time.

He personally explored the route mentioned by the survivor who joined the organization, and asked people in the organization and the tower to help him to find the "savior" organization in the game.

The result of Li You's investigation was that that route could indeed lead to the old city, but the passage was too narrow and inconvenient to move, making it difficult to transport people there on a large scale.

At about the same time he returned to base, the team he sent to find the "Savior" also sent back news.

Although the so-called "savior" organization has a grand name, it is actually a small group of people who control an underground passage between the slums and the old city and are doing the job of transporting people there.

Moreover, they only take people to the entrance and don't care about the rest.

Even in the game, the leader of this organization, Ha Shan, directly sold Crane because he was caught by Rice. As a result, Crane was besieged by Rice's soldiers and almost died in the sewer.

The savior line was introduced by Bracken, so Bracken indirectly cheated Crane.

However, there is no need for Li You to find Ha Shan specifically to avenge this arrow at this moment. He just told his men not to act rashly after finding the "savior", but to find opportunities to control them all and prevent them from interacting with each other. Les contacted and that was enough.

Dyke was the leader of this mission. The young man was very active and successfully completed the mission. He took down the people of the Savior Organization and kidnapped them back.

——It turns out that the so-called "savior" organization only has five people in total, and they still charge fees and provide an unsafe route.

Li You didn't bother to care about them, and just asked people to lock them into a prison converted from the basement, and then asked people to watch the passage controlled by the savior.

This passage is wider than the one Li You went to see, and can accommodate a small group of elite personnel to pass through.

But unless everyone has at least Amir's level of combat effectiveness, a small team will go to the old city to deliver food to Les.

And since this passage was previously in the hands of the savior, and the savior indirectly obeyed Rice, it is certain that if you choose to take this path, what awaits everyone at the exit of the passage will definitely not be a welcome party, but a hail of bullets. .

Even if Li You's men couldn't be annihilated by encirclement, then Rice would definitely be able to blow up the passage.

Therefore, Li You could not choose either of these two paths.After going around in a circle, we are back to the previous question.

Unless he planned to rush into the old city single-handedly again and clean out the Rice Gang's gangsters building by building, he would still have to open up a road that was spacious enough to lead to the old city.

"It seems that this task still has to fall on the heads of those funny brothers..."

Li You asked Karim, and Karim also said that in fact, Rice did have two relatively smooth tunnels that could connect the slums and the old city.

However, of these two tunnels, one was first occupied by the Night Stalker as a lair and later collapsed on its own, while the other was blown up by Les before he finally evacuated the slum.

If other more convenient modes of transportation, such as waterways and air, cannot be found, then if one wants to send people to the old city on a large scale, the only option is to open tunnels.

When talking about the tunnel, Li You immediately thought of brothers Tolga and Fatan.

In the game, didn't the two brothers finally use a train car and a siege engine to break through a tunnel on the outskirts of Harran and escape?

If they can be provided with sufficient conditions, then maybe it is not impossible to clear the tunnel leading to the old city.

Just as he was about to call Karim over and ask him to call Brother Doubi, the radio on Li You's waist suddenly rang, and Jade's voice came:

"Li You, can you hear me?"

Li You guessed the situation as soon as he looked at the time.

It seems that our Harlan Superman, Harlan Spider-Man, Harlan Boxing King, Harlan Foot King, Harlan Lockpicking King, Harlan Chief Courier... and the protagonist of the game, Kyle Crane, have finally appeared.

"it's me."

"Li You, the person you mentioned is already in the tower. We'll let him stay temporarily on the [-]th floor."

"His name is Kyle Crane."

"The scout we arranged just now by the window on the twentieth floor heard him reporting to GRE. We can confirm that he is an agent."

Li You smiled slightly when he heard that familiar name.

It’s finally here, the universal tool man I’ve long been optimistic about!

It can also be seen from the numerous titles in front of Crane's name that he is truly a jack-of-all-trades and an excellent tool man.

Li Youzheng needs such a strong subordinate who has combat effectiveness, work efficiency, and a bottom line.

Of course, after all, Crane has just landed, and his account level is probably still very low. It is best to assign him some simple tasks first to let him pass the novice stage.

Fortunately, with this in mind, Li You had already laid a trap in advance.

Want to know who the mysterious man in the tower is with the clues?
Do you want to improve that person's trust and get the clues left by the seniors?
Then go run errands and do tasks, brave young...middle-aged man!

Once you've run enough side missions and passed enough toilets, you'll meet the person you're looking for!
Li You grinned.

"That's why I said... welcome to Harlan, junior."
