Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 232 One-day trip to Bergglen

Li You and Franco walked through the city.

Franco moved very carefully, trying to avoid exposing himself to open spaces as much as possible. He never took the main road, but chose inconspicuous paths between various houses.

As he advanced cautiously, he warned Li You who was following behind: "It is indeed very dangerous to move around in the city during the day, but as long as you pay attention to a few things, you can get back and forth without any danger."

"First of all, don't expose yourself to other people's sight unless you are near your destination."

Li You replied: "I understand, don't worry."

With the skills he now possesses, it is easy to hide his tracks, even during the day.

And Franco himself, as a wandering businessman who travels around the city all day long, is also very skilled in this area. So soon, the two arrived at the first shelter after setting off.

These are two four-story apartment buildings lined up. One of them has almost completely collapsed, leaving only the right part.

According to Franco, four women occupied the building.

After hearing this and looking at the apartment building in front of him, Li You understood where this was.

The game map here is called the Half-Ruined House, and there are two versions with tradable merchants and four sisters.

I have to say that if it is the merchant version, the value of this map is a little higher. In the Four Sisters version, there are not many supplies here, and the eldest of the four will take the initiative to attack, which is very annoying.

Li You asked Franco: "I heard, aren't they a bit dangerous? Do you do business with them too?"

Franco said: "They are indeed a bit sensitive and suspicious, but in today's Berggren, businessmen like me are very popular everywhere, and they will not attack me."

"As for whether you can get their approval, it depends on your own ability."

Li You: "...I've thought about it a long time ago, you."

Franco smiled slyly: "I haven't done any losing business yet?"

Li You's mouth twitched and he didn't say much, but he was thinking in his heart that he would find the bargaining sister Katya later and let her kill the profiteer severely.

When the time comes, I’ll ask you to come to the door with a big backpack on your back and go home with three cigarettes in your mouth!

Have you ever experienced counteroffering techniques?

While thinking wildly, Franco had already stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone here--!"

Soon, a middle-aged woman with short hair came downstairs and opened the door.

"…It is you."

Franco put down his backpack: "Look what I brought."

The middle-aged woman and Franco quickly started bargaining, and after struggling for a while, they exchanged some weapon parts.

The transaction was completed quickly. Franco glanced at Li You and said, "Don't you need anything else? Okay, then if you are free, I hope to delay you for a while."

"—This is my friend. He is a veteran with excellent combat effectiveness. He recently opened a master house and can complete commissions for others for a fee."

Middle-aged woman: "Oh? Since it was Franco who introduced me, it must be true. What can you do?"

Li You smiled and said: "As far as regular commissions are concerned, I can do many things. Searching for people, finding objects, delivering letters, providing labor, emergency rescue...even combat-type commissions, no problem."

"However, the quotation for this type of commission will be relatively high, so please be aware."

The woman looked at him and said, "Oh? That's quite loud. What if we need a man? Can you take it too?"

Li You's smile remained unchanged: "If you want to entrust the search for a specific man, I will accept it. If you need special services, our store will not provide them."

The woman looked at him again and said, "Okay, I understand. Please leave your contact information and we will come back to find you if necessary."

Li You replied: "If there is a commission, please pass the news to St. Mary's Church. Father Orek is my friend and will help me collect the commission information."

Woman: "I know." After saying that, she closed the door heavily.

Franco looked at Li You: "...Let's go to the next one."

Li You naturally had no objection.

Halfway through, Franco asked him: "You can see that that woman is no longer interested in your master's house, right? To be honest, I think even if you complete this trip with me, you probably won't get any business. Arrive. Don’t look for me then.”

Li Youman didn't care: "Don't worry, I'm not that bad. Besides, I think this trip will be fruitful."

Franco: "Okay, let's go."

The two continued to walk through the ruined city streets, and soon came to the second house.

This is a well-known old auto repair shop. A young man lives here with his old father and is willing to trade with others.

Li You was very impressed by this place, because this picture was a big bonus in the early stage.

The owner of the auto repair shop is a young man named Ma Tai. He is a well-known filial son. In order to treat his father's illness, he is willing to exchange medicines with others at very favorable prices.

In the game, this picture allows players to exchange axes and saw blades at low prices in the early stage, which can greatly speed up the progress of construction and looting. Moreover, trading medicines with Matai is considered a good deed and can increase mood.

So, when Franco and Li You came here, before they could knock on the door, Mattai had already pushed the door open: "Franco! Have you found the medicine?"

Franco took out a small bottle of pills with unclear labels from his backpack, handed them to him, and said, "These are the only ones I found. You can see if they fit."

Ma Tai took the medicine bottle, opened it and looked at it, with a look of disappointment on his face, and said, "No, no, this is not the medicine I need. Is there nothing else?"

Franco also shook his head.

Ma Tai was dejected, and Li You on the side spoke: "...Excuse me."

Mattei and Franco both looked at him, and Mattei asked: "Are you..."

Franco then introduced.

Ma Tai looked at Li You, especially the gun storage box on his back, and then asked: "What can you do? I don't need anything right now..."

Li You took off the gourd from his waist and said, "If you don't mind, would you like your father to try the potion I prepared?"

Mattai: "...huh?"

……

A quarter of an hour later, Franco and Li You left the auto repair shop.

Ma Tai accepted the potion given by Li You, but judging from his suspicious expression, it was obvious that he did not intend to use it for his old father for a while.

Franco also asked: "...Is that thing of yours really useful? If I drink someone to death, my reputation will also be gone!"

Li You handed the gourd over: "How about you try it yourself?"

Franco immediately shook his head: "Absolutely not!"

Li You also reluctantly took back the gourd and said, "Don't worry, even if it's useless, my medicine will never be harmful."

Franco sighed: "I hope so. Let's go, there are still many places to go."

Next, Li You followed Franco and continued to travel through the city, and met most of the friendly survivors.

At the same time, Li You also noticed that Frank deliberately avoided many places that looked familiar to him.

Such as an unfinished construction site, the area around a large shopping mall, a small hotel, an airport, and of course a military outpost.

Obviously, not only are there no people to trade in these places, they are probably also very dangerous areas.

"Whenever you have time, sneak over and clean up those places."

However, so far, Li You has not seen the two families he wanted to visit.

Just as he was thinking about whether to ask Franco directly, he heard him suddenly curse "FOCK" and hid in a collapsed house nearby.

"Come here quickly! There is a government patrol ahead!"

Li You very obediently came to hide behind Franco, listening to the rumble of the engine with him, and watching two military off-road vehicles passing by on the street not far away.

Standing on the off-road vehicle in front was a man in military uniform, holding a light machine gun in his hand. He was looking around very openly, not afraid of becoming a target at all.

Franco said to Li Yin in a very low voice: "...Don't move or make a sound!"

Li You naturally would not go against him and kept quiet until the convoy disappeared at the end of the street.

Franco looked around cautiously for a few times, then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We've gone far, come out."

Li You was also looking at the direction the convoy was leaving, but he was actually looking at the firepower configuration on the car.

"The main weapon is the machine gun. There are insufficient personnel, insufficient visible ammunition, and there is no hidden soldier protection..."

"With this level of skill, do you dare to wander around the city so arrogantly? Aren't the government forces afraid that they will be swallowed up by the rebels?"

Franco first stared at Li You with the eyes of a monster, and then said: "No one dares. The government patrol convoy was attacked once before, and guess what happened?"

"That night, the one kilometer surrounding the location where the convoy was attacked was bombarded indiscriminately by heavy artillery and was razed to the ground."

Li You: "..."

"...As expected of them."

Franco said: "Okay, stop chatting and leave quickly, it's not safe here."

The two continued to move forward, and Li You asked: "By the way, do you know a man named Adam? He should live with his wife and daughter."

Franco looked back at him, a little surprised: "Do you know him?"

"I've seen it before."

Franco said: "That's right, just right. Our next home will be his place."

Li You perked up: "Oh?"

"Go this way."

The two walked through several winding alleys again and approached the apartment building where Adam's family lived.

"Going through here is... hell!"

When Franco and Li You turned around an alley and entered another narrow path, they found that the middle was covered with gravel.

"This place is under bombardment!" Franco's face looked very ugly. "This is not going to be easy. If we don't go through here, it will be troublesome for us to go back."

Li You understood, rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward: "Then take the time to clean it up. I don't think the blockage here is serious."

Franco said with a dark face: "Didn't you see the fragment of the collapsed wall? How could we move...Waterfa!?"

In Franco's horrified eyes, Li You grabbed the piece of gravel, shouted loudly, veins bulged on his forehead, and stood up the stone piece by piece.

"...Come on...help me!"

Franco woke up from a dream and immediately stepped forward to help. The two of them worked together to lean the gravel slab against the wall on one side.

With a "pop", Franco sat down on the rubble, panting, and asked in disbelief: "How do you...have so much strength!"

Li You was also panting, and he looked no less relaxed than Franco. He said intermittently: "I'm... a little confident in my strength! And this stone slab has many holes, and it's not as heavy as it looks!"

In fact, to be honest, this stone slab is about the same size as the stone slab at the entrance to the underground communication facility in the Resident Evil IV Ada DLC.

Since Aunt Wang, who seems to be weak and weak, can lift the stone slab by herself, it wouldn't be so strange for him to do this... right? But just in case, he still pretended to be weak.

Even so, Franco obviously still found it incredible, but he didn't think too much. After resting for a while, he stood up and said, "Okay, in short, the road is cleared, let's go."

The roads are indeed clear, but alas, that's not the only bad news.

When the two walked through the alley and arrived near Adam's house, they saw that most of the apartment building had collapsed, so that the ground was covered with gravel and rubble, and there were still several flames burning inside the building.

Franco was stunned when he saw this: "This...can their family survive?"

But Li You said with certainty: "It must be possible! Let's go and have a look!" As he said that, he ran towards the apartment building.

"Hey! Stop running around!" Franco looked around before carefully following him.

"--excuse me!"

Li You quickly ran to the door of half of the apartment building that was destroyed by the bombing, and pushed the door open without ceremony.

The door itself was sealed with wooden bars from the inside, but Li You looked back and found that Franco hadn't followed, so he kicked the door without hesitation and broke through it.

"anyone there--!"

In the chapter of Father's Promise, only half of Adam's family was left. That was the beginning of the story, so Li You still believed that Adam's family would be fine.

Li You used his hearing. Although it was far inferior to Aiji's ability to act as a human sonar, it was still enough for him to find the wisp of human voice among the sound of gunfire and burning rubble in the background.

"...Work harder, it'll be fine soon!"

"...Children, don't worry, we will come to rescue you right away!"

These were the voices of a man and a woman, occasionally mixed with the cry of a child.

"--found it!"

Li You kicked open the blocked door all the way, climbed over the mounds of earth that collapsed and blocked the road, and quickly broke into another part of the apartment building that was still intact, and followed the voices to the fourth floor.

Here, Adam, whom I met before, and a gentle middle-aged woman with blond hair were working hard to dig out the rubble behind a door with their hands. Behind the pile of rubble, the cries of two children, one high and one low, reached Li You's ears clearly.

The woman heard Li You's undisguised footsteps, turned around, and asked in surprise: "Are you..."

Li You didn't take the time to explain, and stepped forward with the primitive gun: "I'm here to help!"

Adam recognized him: "It's you!" But the children were more important at the moment. He didn't say anything. Together with his wife, he cooperated with Li You to continue digging.

With the efforts of the three people, the excavation progress of the rubble pile was greatly improved, and it was almost cleared soon. Finally, Li You shouted and moved a huge piece of gravel away to clear the road.

Adam and his wife Barbara immediately rushed in and found the two little girls hiding in the corner.

"...Emilia! Karina! Are you okay!"

Li You also saw the two children, a girl with short blond hair wearing a jacket, and a brown-haired girl wearing a knitted hat. Coincidentally, Li You knew both of them.

The blond girl is Emilia, Adam's daughter, and the other girl, Karina, is a war orphan also in the game.

Li You didn't expect that the child Adam picked up was her.

At this time, Karina was crying and squatting next to Emilia, saying to the Adam couple: "Emilia was injured by a stone! She has been bleeding!"

Adam and his wife Barbara were a little panicked when they saw this. In order to treat Karina, all the medical supplies at home had been exhausted.

Barbara got up and went downstairs: "I'll prepare hot water!"

Adam checked Amelia's injuries, picked her up, and walked downstairs.

Adam put Amelia on the bed and took out the only paper to wipe her blood. On the other side, Barbara was still preparing hot water and towels.

Li You stepped forward at this moment: "Let me show her."

Adam was also stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something: "...By the way, that potion of yours?"

Li You nodded: "You haven't used it yet? Bring it over. We don't have time to explain so much now!"

Adam gritted his teeth, got up and ran downstairs, pulling out the two water bottles in his backpack: "Here you go! How do you want to use them?"

Li Youyou: "It's very simple. It can be used externally or internally."

"Bring a clean water glass and fill it up half full."

Adam prepared immediately, while Li You, under Karina's worried gaze, poured out part of the potion in the bottle and applied it to the wound on Amelia's forehead.

The pain on Emilia's face immediately eased a lot, while Karina's eyes showed surprise.

Adam also brought the water glass over at this time: "Here you go!"

Li You took it unceremoniously, poured a little potion into the cup, and fed Amelia to drink it.

Old father Adam looked on with fear, but he couldn't interrupt Li You. Fortunately, after Emilia drank the potion, her condition improved significantly, and the wound on her forehead even stopped bleeding quickly.

Adam couldn't help but be surprised: "Is it so effective?"

Li You just smiled, which actually made Adam blush.

At this time, Barbara's hot water was ready, but looking at Amelia who was in much better condition, she didn't know how to deal with it.

There were pattering footsteps downstairs, and Franco finally came around from the other side of the apartment building. He came in front of everyone, panting: "...Li You, next time, don't run so fast alone!"

Li You smiled apologetically: "Sorry, it's important to save people."

Franco then looked at the Adam couple: "...It seems that you don't need my introduction anymore."

……

After a while.

Emilia and Karina were both taken by Barbara and lay on the bed to rest, while Adam, Li You and Franco came to the living room and sat down.

"--sorry!"

Adam lowered his head and apologized without hesitation, "You obviously meant to help me, but I didn't believe you. If it hadn't been for your help today, I can't imagine what things would have turned out to be... Thank you so much!"

Li You waved his hand: "It was just our first meeting before. It's normal for you not to believe me. As long as the children are fine, it will be fine. You said before that Karina was sick, but I think she seems to be getting better now?"

Adam nodded: "Thanks to Franco, who helped us find medicine before, so Karina got better."

Franco didn't think anything of it and just said: "After all, it is the product you requested."

Adam thanked the two of them again: "Thank you anyway!"

"But, Mr. Li, why are you here?"

Li You then said: "Oh, I almost forgot, that's what happened..."

He told Adam his purpose, and Adam was thoughtful after hearing this: "I see... Then, maybe I can help you."

Li You: "Huh?"

Adam said, “Do you know the ‘Bergren Sound’?”

Li You: "Is it the radio station that is still operating?"

Adam nodded: "That's right! It's that family. They still insisted on broadcasting in this ruined city, and the news they passed helped many survivors."

"However, for security reasons, the location of the radio station is kept secret. Franco should know where the address is, but I guess he didn't tell you?"

Li You glanced at Franco, and Franco shrugged indifferently.

Adam saw the reaction of the two people and knew the answer, so he continued: "Although I don't know where the radio station is, I met the radio announcer's wife before when I went out to search, and I also know her Several places we often visit. The next time I see her, I will tell her about you and ask her to spread the word."

A smile appeared on Li You's face: "Thank you very much."

Adam waved his hands repeatedly: "Nothing, you saved my daughter's life!"

"If you don't mind, please rest here for a while. As you can see, my house has just been shelled. It would be rude for me to go and clean up the wreckage."

Neither Franco nor Li You minded, so Adam went upstairs.

As soon as Li You turned around, he found Franco looking at him and said, "I didn't expect that you would really gain something so quickly."

Li You just smiled. Considering the frequency of accidents happening in this damn place like Bergglen, the only incident that happened at Adam's house today made Li You feel ashamed.

He wanted to say something, but suddenly he heard a slight sound of footsteps. When he turned his head to look, he found that it was Karina looking at him at the corner of the stairs.

Li You smiled and waved to her, and Karina plucked up the courage to go downstairs and came to him. She looked at him with a pair of big eyes, and it was impossible to tell that she was a war orphan.

She looked at Li You for a long time and finally asked:

"...Uncle, are you Batman?"

Li You: "......"

This naughty kid, why are you scolding me?
