Chapter 123 Night Demon…Les!
After hearing what Les said, everyone else became anxious and spoke one after another.

"Li You/Boss/Brother Li You..."

However, Li You raised his hand to stop them and said: "No need to say more, since Les named me to meet, then I will go."

The people trapped inside are obviously the gunsmith Rupert and his children.

The bunker is completely sealed, and there is only one entrance. Even if you want to sneak in for an assassination, you don't have this condition.

So even Li You had no other choice but to take the main entrance.

As for the option of ignoring these people, Li You never thought about it.

I've traveled to Harlan with my system, so how can I let you, Les, kill innocent people in front of me?
Don't even think about it!

This time, no one of these good people in Harlan can be left behind!
Of course, Li You wouldn't just rush in. He asked the others to wait, and then took Yuzi outside. When he came back, he would be the only one left.

With Yuzu as a backup, at least the worst-case scenario won't happen.

Before anyone could ask him where Yuzi had gone, Li You waved to Racine on the side and motioned for him to pass the riot shield to him.

This is a simple anti-riot shield found in the city hall building. It is either a bulletproof one or a high-strength plastic shield generally used to maintain order.

Li You held a shield in his left hand, a shotgun in his right hand, and a machete hanging on his waist. Then he asked others to wait at the entrance of the corridor, walked over, and opened the bunker door.

There were no oncoming bullets as expected, which also saved Li You a chance to use the Transformation Eggplant Card in his hand.

There is a narrow passage inside the door. There is no light on, and it is dark at the moment.

However, Li You had the assistance of Night Stalker goggles, so he could clearly see that there was a blue tarp on the wall at the end of the passage, and there were two passages behind the left and right corners.

Li You still has an impression of the structure of the bunker. He knows that the passages here are full of rooms for people to live in. Take the corner on the right to reach the end, which is the hall for storing supplies.

Les should be there.

He was about to leave when the radio rang again.Li You picked up and it turned out to be Les.

"Li You, this time you finally listened to me and came in alone."

"Come on, come to me in the storage room at the end. My gifts and I are waiting for you here."

Even though the distance was so close, Les's voice on the radio was still hoarse and leaky, making people extremely uncomfortable.

Li You stopped by the door of the storage room. Except for a weird screen hanging above the door, everything else was exactly the same as in the game.Li You tried it and found that the door was still locked.

In the game, players need to enter the storage room through the vent next to it, but when Li You subconsciously looked to the left wall, the screen hanging on the door suddenly lit up.

A figure with a large hood appeared on the screen. He sat on an ornate high-backed chair, covering himself tightly with a hood and cloak.

But when he opened his mouth, it was still Les's hoarse and unpleasant voice.

"Welcome, Li You! Come to my treasure house."

"I'm glad we finally met in person."

"As a reward for your bravery, I will grant you permission to watch this gift-opening show!"

"By the way, I have blocked all the entrances and exits here. Your weird infected man can't get in. You don't have to think about finding vents or anything like that. Don't act like a mouse and annoy me. "

Li You looked at the screen and said: "Les, you are getting worse and worse. You gave up your building and museum, only to hide in a doghouse like this and threaten me with the elderly and children." ?”

"Moreover, you have covered yourself so tightly that even the religious women have exposed more than you. Do you call this a meeting?"

However, Les was not annoyed and said, "You will see my face later as you wish, if I judge that you are qualified."

"Now, you are right there, watching the live broadcast of the gift unboxing!"

As he spoke, the screen turned, revealing the scene in the middle of the storage room.

An old man with gray hair and five boys and girls in different clothes were all kneeling in the center of the storage room with their hands tied behind their backs and their eyes covered.

The two Rice Gang soldiers each held machetes and rifles, standing on the left and right, like executioners on the execution ground.

In addition to them, there was a little girl lying on the ground nearby. She was not tied up, but she looked unconscious and in a very bad state.

Li You's expression changed slightly, but before he could speak, Rice spoke again:

"Oh, if you want to ask the little girl, her name is Orya."

"Poor child, her father died outside trying to find medicine for her, and her diabetes is getting worse and worse. Now she is only a small step away from being reunited with her father.

"Look at her, how miserable she is! I have the insulin she needs, but some con man who calls himself a wizard refuses to work for me in exchange for the antidote.

“He couldn’t protect her and the other children and could only wait to die with them.

"He doesn't deserve to play a hero, this old guy doesn't have the qualifications. But you do, Li You.

"You have accomplished miracles that are unimaginable by ordinary people, and now, the only thing you lack is one thing.

"That's... misery and torture."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Rice Gang soldier on the left side of the storage room raised his knife and slashed at Rupert's neck!
The soldier on the right took a step slower, but also raised his gun. Seeing what he was looking at, it was the unconscious Olya!

"Don't think about—!"

At this moment, a cold air swept across the entire bunker instantly, and the two Rice Gang soldiers on the screen were instantly wrapped in a layer of ice!
Then Li You threw down his shield, pulled out his hand cannon, and shot the door lock from top to bottom.

The door lock was torn to pieces in an instant. Li You kicked it open, then dodged and pounced on the two soldiers in the middle!
The machete and the short gun were both swung out, beheading one of the two men and piercing the chest of the other.

Just as Li You pulled out the short gun, suddenly the iron door opposite the storage room was knocked open, and a black shadow wrapped in a cloak rushed towards Li You!
Li You originally thought that the person coming was Les, but the black shadow was so fast and powerful that it didn't look like a human being at all.Li You, who was unprepared, was thrown to the ground by it!
As it pressed on Li You and roared angrily, Li You could also clearly see the torn jaw that was covered by the figure's hood.

Night Demon!

However, Li You was not something that an ordinary Night Demon could subdue now. He used both hands to hold the Night Demon's claws that were trying to tear off his coat, and restrained the Night Demon.

Then Li You retracted his leg and kicked Night Demon hard in the abdomen!
This heavy kick caused Night Demon to fall backwards, staggering a few steps and hitting the wall, unable to recover for a moment.

And Li You stood up like a carp, grabbed the short gun that fell aside, and rushed over to stab the night devil through!

However, just before the tip of his spear pierced the Night Demon's head, Li You suddenly heard a burst of laughter from it.

"…Hahaha."

The primitive gun stopped suddenly, and Li You froze on the spot.

When the night demon saw Li You stop moving, he instantly showed his ferocious nature and swung his claws with his backhand!
However, Li You retreated lightly to avoid it, and then waved his short gun to fend off its subsequent pursuits. After forcing it back, he stood still and stared at the night devil.

The night demon stopped moving and looked at Li You, its eyes shining brightly.

The two faced each other and fell into silence.

After a long while, Li You tentatively spoke.

"...Les?"

The night devil let out a weird chuckle, and then a familiar voice came from its mouth:

"Congratulations, you guessed it right."

As it spoke, it raised its paws and lifted its hood, revealing the pale skin and mutated body underneath.

At this moment, Les looked like a night devil, but he was still wearing his original black suit with red lapels, and the decorative gold ring was still on his neck, which looked a bit nondescript.

Even Li You couldn't help but take a breath of air at this moment.

"You turned yourself into a Night Stalker!?"

Les laughed maniacally, and the air flowed out from his cracked jaw, causing a whirring sound.

"Yes, this is my last choice! I no longer need to be afraid of darkness or zombies, I am their king, the king of the night!"

Li You couldn't help but ask: "Why? You actually know how to use that kind of medicine?"

The elixir that can transform people into wise night demons, from the game's DLC, Believer.

In the plot of the Believer DLC, this blue liquid "elixir" is a key prop throughout the main line.After seeing the smoke generated by it, which can protect people from attacks by infected people, Crane and the Rice Gang believed that it was the antidote to the Harlan virus, so they came to the suburbs.

But in the end, they discovered that this so-called miracle drug was nothing more than a high concentration of Harlan virus.

And all those who drink the elixir will transform into a kind of intelligent night demon in extreme pain and trance - the perceptive night demon.

However, the elixir does exist, but in Li You's impression, although Rice in the original game was crazy, he was not to the extent that he would actively turn himself into a night demon.

What's more, it's not surprising that the Rice gang could steal the elixir, but they shouldn't know the essence of the elixir.

With Rice's character, how could he use a medicine of unknown purpose or produced by the military on himself?

Opposite, Les... no, Night Demon Les's eyes flickered, and instead of answering Li You's question, he said: "You actually know the elixir. Fortunately, I am faster."

Li You didn't understand his brain circuit for a while, and it took him a while to react: "Do you think if you move slowly, I will steal your 'spiritual medicine' for my own use?"

And Les actually asked: "Isn't it? Look at me, this new attitude is just right for this world that is about to change beyond recognition!"

"I have been reborn. Next, I will kill you, kill all those people outside, then walk out of the high wall and spread chaos and death to every corner of the world!"

"At that time, I will be the king of the new world in the dark night!"

Li You didn't know how to answer for a moment, and finally said: "You are really crazy."

The original Qadir Suleiman was indeed dead when he lost his brother and transformed into Rais. Rais was just the embodiment of the craziest side of Kadir.

But at least Les can still be regarded as a human being, although he is a complete madman.

But this time, Les, the bastard, was no longer a human being. He physically turned himself into a night demon, and his already twisted heart was swallowed up by the crazy nature of the night demon.

This can be judged from what he said.The original Rice would never think that becoming a Night Demon was a kind of evolution, and he would never worry that Li You would take away his opportunity to "evolve".

So Li You knew that the humanity in Daredevil Rice should have been completely lost, and all that was left was the crazy and twisted hatred for him, GRE, and the world.Since nothing can be asked from him anymore, Li You doesn't have to hold anything back.

He turned the hand holding the primitive gun slightly, and the barrel of the primitive gun automatically extended, extending to two meters in total.

Li You raised his gun and pointed it at Daredevil Rice:
"Now that you have completely become a monster, what I have to do is very simple."

He didn't summon Yuzu, nor did he use a hand cannon. He just thought it was to fulfill Rice's twisted sense of ritual.

Night Demon Les was too lazy to say anything, and roared, coming like the wind!
But Li You moved very quickly, arriving first. He swiped the pistol in his hand and hit Les on his side. He slapped Les back with such force.

Les roared, retreated slightly to gain momentum, and then pounced again!
Its action this time is very familiar to Li You. It is the standard pounce action of the Night Demon in the game. If successful, it will pin the player down.

If you don't break free at this time, the Night Demon's bite will kill the player in one blow, and the blood-locking method of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect will be useless.

But all the actions of Daredevil Rice were clearly seen in Li You's eyes.

He didn't hide either. He saw the right moment and swung the spear in his hand, just in time to block Les's attack. The barrel of the gun caught Les's claws.

But Li You suddenly exerted force, flipped his spear, and smashed Les to the ground hard!
Daredevil Les was thrown to the ground so hard that he was so dizzy that he couldn't get up for a while.

Li You's gun suddenly shortened, flipped over, and stabbed Les in the waist and abdomen!

Les was unable to dodge, and the shot penetrated his side and was nailed to the ground.

It suddenly let out a shrill roar!

Li You looked at Daredevil Les's flashing eyes, unable to find any trace of reason in them, and couldn't help but shake his head.He reached out and pulled out the machete, intending to finish off Les.

But Rice seemed to be aware of the crisis. The critical moment of life and death suddenly broke out. First, he spit out a mouthful of acid at Li You at close range, forcing Li You to dodge sideways, and at the same time, he jerked away, and actually forced his body from the gun head. Pull it out!
Then Daredevil Rice ignored the huge laceration on his side and struck Li You with another claw.

Li You swung his knife to block the attack, and Night Demon Rice quickly retreated and came to the wall. Then he tore off the large wires extending from the distribution box on the wall with his backhand claw.

The storage room suddenly fell into darkness.

The roar of Night Demon Rice echoed in the room. It seemed to feel that Li You had fallen into darkness and was at its mercy, so it began to circle around Li You.

A moment later, it pounced from behind Li You again!
It's a pity that all its movements have been in Li You's eyes for a long time.Li You suddenly turned around and extended the gun in his hand again, pointing directly at Daredevil Rice.From a third-party perspective, Rice felt as if he was hitting the tip of a gun!

Les also realized something was wrong, roared crazily, abruptly interrupted his movements, and stopped in front of the tip of the gun.

Li You didn't want to waste any more time, he took a step forward and stabbed straight with his spear!

Night Demon Les chose to avoid this time and jumped back to distance himself. It also realized that Li You could see its movements clearly in the dark.

Rice's consciousness returned for a moment. He looked at Li You and asked, "Why... can you see me?"

Li You didn't bother to answer, but pointed his spear at Rice again.Les, on the other hand, became angry at being ignored. After his eyes glanced to the side, he had a new idea.

Li You noticed the direction he was looking and paused in the same way.

The next moment, Les roared and pounced on Rupert, who was moving towards the corner of the room with the children!
"boom--!!"

The roar of Hand Cannon X echoed throughout the bunker, and Daredevil Les's body flew out suddenly and hit the wall.Its left leg was completely broken off, and only part of the broken leg was spinning and landed not far from Li You.

Daredevil Les roared in pain, but this time he really couldn't get up.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps were heard in the passage outside, and then the door was opened. Crane, Jade and Racine rushed in, shouting:

"Li You! Are you okay!?"

Li You replied: "It's okay! Just stay at the door and don't move. Crane, look for the backup power switch and restore the power first."

The three of them responded, and there was a rustling sound in the darkness, and then the lights in the storage room came on again.

Then, the three of them saw that the storage room was in a mess.

There are many messy claw marks on the indoor walls and floor, and there are traces of acid corrosion on the ceiling.Two corpses of Rice Gang soldiers were lying on the ground, one on the left and one on the right. An old man was huddled in a corner protecting several children.

Not far away from them, Li You stepped on a night devil in a suit and pressed the short gun in his hand to its throat, restraining it.

"Li You!? This is...?"

The three of them couldn't help but scream in surprise.

Li You looked at the three of them and said, "Jed, take Rupert and the children out first. Racine, go look inside. There should be insulin here."

The siblings went as they were told, and Crane came to Li You's side. Looking at the Night Demon under his feet, he couldn't help but wonder: "Where's Les? Did he run away?"

Li You shook his head: "No, this night devil is Les."

"What did you say!?"×2
Jade and Crane both looked at the night demon.

But at this time, there was a loud noise from another room nearby, and then a man's roar.

"go to hell!!"

"Racine!" Jed was startled and rushed towards the room without caring about anything else.

Fortunately, when she rushed in, she saw that Racine had subdued the unknown attacker and pinned him to the ground.

Jade breathed a sigh of relief.

On Li You's side, he and Crane tied up Daredevil Les tightly with ropes and left him under Crane's care, and then came here.

Racine was unscathed, but the fat, middle-aged bearded man beneath him kept shouting in pain:
"It hurts, it hurts! Let me go, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!"

With this familiar tone, lines, and face, Li You immediately recognized him.

Kahn, a senior member of the Rice Gang. In the Believer DLC plot, he is the key figure who led some of the remaining members of the Rice Gang to the suburbs after Rice's death. He is also the person who guided Crane at the beginning.

To sum it up in one sentence, this guy is quite funny.

In the plot of the Believer DLC, he pretends to be an outsider businessman and is actually plotting the "miraculous medicine" of the Sons of the Sun sect.

He also deceived Crane at first, making Crane think he was just an ordinary person.As a result, in the final chapter of the plot, Crane found him at the lighthouse occupied by the Rice gang.

Until this moment, Kahn was still thinking of deceiving Crane.

"I just live here and have nothing to do with those gangsters!"

Crane: Slowly loosened his grip on Kahn's neck.

Then the radio on Kahn's waist rang: "Boss, are you there?"

Kahn (smiling awkwardly but politely): "Aha...hahaha."

Crane: (Dan)
Well, that scene was pretty much the same as now.

Kahn was suppressed by Racine and kept saying that he was just captured by the Rice gang and had nothing to do with them.

Then Jed found a stack of letters on the table in his small room. They were all operational arrangements sent to various Rice Gang strongholds. They were all signed by Kahn, and the ink on the latest letter was not dry yet.

Kahn: "...I said this was written by Les just now, do you believe it?"

other people:"……"

Are you fooling the devil?
Li You walked up to him and stabbed his face with the original spear. Kahn could even see the dark blood slowly sliding down from the tip of the spear. He knew that this was Les who had mutated into a night demon. blood, and the whole person suddenly trembled.

Li Youyou: "Kahn, no need to pretend, I know you very well. Now I have a few questions to ask you. If you answer well..."

Kahn nodded quickly: "I say, I say! I say everything!"

"Good, so first question, where did the drug that turned Les into a night demon come from?"

Kahn did not hesitate: "It was found from the Old City Research Institute!"

Li You didn't hesitate, and crushed two of Kahn's fingers with one foot. The pain caused his whole body to jump upwards, and then he was pressed down by Racine again.

Li You said: "Don't try to fool me. I have a way to judge whether what you say is true or false. Do you want to try again?"

Kahn didn't dare to make any more nonsense this time, and sweated profusely: "I understand, I understand! I don't dare anymore!"

"I took people to find the elixir from the suburbs. There is a small local sect there. It is said that it has a way to protect people from zombie attacks."

"After Les heard about this rumor, he sent me there, and the last thing he found was this elixir. We initially thought it was a life-saving elixir that could protect people from infection, so we brought it back."

Li You asked again: "If that's the case, why would Les use it on himself?"

Kahn hesitated this time before answering: "Well...it's a long story, and I don't know everything."

"Actually, when Les's office in the slums was raided before, he was shot and seriously injured. I wasn't there at the time, but I heard that he couldn't even get off the ground by himself and had to sleep on his stomach.

“His injury was still not healed until I came back.

"But one night, Les, who had difficulty moving, suddenly disappeared and could not be found anywhere. When he came back, he had regained his basic mobility.

"After that, he called me over and took away the blue elixir I brought back, and then..."

After hearing this, Li You roughly understood what was going on.

It turned out that when he first raided the Les gang office, the shot he fired really blew up part of Les. So Les was seriously injured and fled directly to the old city where medical conditions were better. Heal.

Presumably it was because of this that when Li You went to the Rice Building later, he saw Tahir alone.

But now there is a new question, that is, how did Rice, who was seriously injured, disappear from the base, and how did he mysteriously recover?

Judging from Kahn's description, it seems that he already knew the effects of the blue elixir and actively chose to take it.

What was it that prompted such a drastic change in his ideas?
Li You carefully sorted out the messy clues in his mind, and then a guess emerged. This guess vaguely pointed to the figure that had been lingering around him aloofly since he first arrived in Harlan.

However, this is just speculation at the moment. Li You put aside his curiosity for the time being and turned to Kahn:
"Last question, where is Dr. Camden?"

 Digging holes every day√
