Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 127 Wristband Grappling Hook Ejector
Dr. Camden said without much hesitation, "I happen to know that."

"According to what he said, he was bitten in a zombie attack more than a month ago. But coincidentally, the part where he was bitten was his paralyzed legs.

"It may be due to individual differences. Hassan's infection was very serious and his legs soon began to mutate.

"In order to save Hassan's life, Les injected all the antidotes he had at the time into Hassan, but in the end it was ineffective.

"Hassan did not mutate into a zombie in the end, but his heart stopped beating. Les stayed by his bedside for a day and a night, and finally had to accept the reality and bury his brother.

"But a few days later, Hassan woke up."

Hearing this, Li You also raised his eyebrows: "Resurrected?"

Camden shook his head: "It is not accurate to say that he was resurrected. If it must be said, Hassan's body was not completely dead in the first place. Under the erosion and reshaping of the Haran virus, he mutated, and then he woke up. Come here."

"But the person who wakes up is no longer Hassan. Although his brain is still alive, so he has Hassan's memory, but his reason has been swallowed up, and he will just wander around looking for food all day long.

"Hassan himself couldn't tell what happened next. He only knows that one day, after eating, he felt a sharp pain in his body and fainted.

"When he woke up again, he regained his conscious consciousness, could think, speak, and even communicate with others. But after all, the person who came back to life was not the same person as before.

"Don't look at his appearance. In fact, his physical condition is very unstable, and he is prone to certain mutations from time to time. With each mutation, his strength will increase, but his humanity will weaken. Sometimes there are also mutations with negative effects. occur.

"That's why he found me and hoped that I could help stabilize his physical condition. Unfortunately, I couldn't do what he wanted."

Dr. Camden shook his head and added: "As for why he is so unique, according to my speculation, it should be that Hassan himself is a special mutant, and then after long-term predation, the concentration of Harlan virus in the body reached To a certain extent, the evolution to...oh, night hunter, this stage was finally completed."

"Did you choose this name? I think it's good. Hassan looks like a lone hunter in the dark."

Li You nodded and asked: "Then why do you think Hassan's condition will be helpful to you in researching the antidote?"

Dr. Camden said: "If you think about it, although it is not complete, Hassan is 'resurrected from the dead' after all! He even retains a relatively complete memory."

"I speculate that when he was first bitten, he was injected with an overdose of antidote, so some kind of mutation occurred in his body. This mutation may be the key to finding a cure for Harlan virus!

"It's a pity that although Hassan wanted me to help him, he was still on guard against me and refused to let me analyze his body tissue. Otherwise, maybe I could really find a way..."

Camden was a little depressed, while Li You was thoughtful.

In the game, the origin of the Night Hunters has never been mentioned, and of course it is impossible to explain their original identities.

After all, the Night Hunter is a special infected person who only appears in the multiplayer confrontation mode and is played by the player.

Generally speaking, most people believe that night hunters are mutated from survivors with excellent physical fitness, because many details similar to parkours can be seen in the movement habits of night hunters.

But some players have put forward a conjecture, that is, the night hunters actually evolved from the escapees.

Li You thought for a while and asked Camden: "Have you heard of the Fugitive?"

Dr. Camden was stunned: "Huh?"

Fugitives are a special type of infected person in the game. Their biggest feature is that they will never attack players, but will run away when they see people.

They are similar in size to normal humans, covered in green pustules, move quickly, and appear to be somewhat resistant to ultraviolet rays.

In the game plot, the Runaways were born from Dr. Zere's experiments. After injecting the antidote into meat, he released the meat on the streets for zombies to eat, trying to observe their reactions and find a cure for the Harlan virus. Methods.

Originally, Dr. Zerei found nothing and thought he had failed. However, it was not until Crane accidentally discovered this unique infected person outside the street and contacted Dr. Zerei that he was shocked to realize that he had originally The attempt was not without effect.

So he commissioned Crane to kill a fugitive at night and obtain its tissue for analysis. He was surprised to find that the components in this tissue might provide them with clues to the antidote.

So Dr. Zerei packaged the tissue samples and experimental data, hoping that Crane could bring the package to Dr. Camden, who was still trapped in the Old City Research Institute at the time, so that he would have enough equipment to complete subsequent research.

In the second half of the main plot, the battle for this research data begins.

In the original plot, escapees are the key to developing antidotes, and their body tissues can also be used as the main material for one of the most powerful enchantments of weapons in the game, so many players have the experience of hunting them at night.

But the fugitive is very special. Not only is it as timid as a mouse, but it moves fast and turns around and runs away when it sees people. It also has a close relationship with the night devil group.

The fugitives only move in the dark. When they find an enemy, they will scream and call the night demons to protect it.

Even if the player approaches sneakily and twists the neck of the fugitive without being noticed, it will telepathically alert the surrounding Night Stalkers before dying, and the player's Night Stalker tracking level will immediately rise to level one.

In other words, the location was found by the Night Demon.

Because of the interesting characteristics of the escapees, some players complained that they might be the wives of the night demons...

Seeing that Camden didn't seem to know the fugitives, Li You briefly introduced the characteristics of the fugitives, saying that they were a type of infected person that he accidentally discovered.

Camden's eyes immediately lit up: "Zerei's experiment...that's what it is!"

"It is very possible that Hassan first mutated into this kind of fugitive, and then through the accumulation of Harlan virus, he finally became a night hunter! This makes sense!"

Looking at the excited Camden, Li You narrowed his eyes slightly.

He didn't mention it to Dr. Camden about the players' speculation about the relationship between the Runaways and the Night Hunters, but Camden thought of it himself.

After all, if you really want to find it, there is a lot of relevant evidence.

For example, the Night Hunter and the Fugitive have similar green skin, the same human body shape, the same quick movements, and they both have the ability to think and have certain resistance to ultraviolet rays...etc.

Li You even once read someone who suggested that fugitives, night demons, and night hunters may have a symbiotic relationship.

The Night Stalkers protect the fugitive, allowing it to feed safely and promote evolution.And when the escapees successfully evolve into night hunters, they can in turn protect the Night Demon's lair.

This also explains the mystery that the Runaways, Night Hunters and Night Stalkers should not be the same mutant, but they are surprisingly related.

Li You had to say that this was indeed a genius guess.

As for the rumor that night hunters actually prey on night demons, there is no relevant evidence and it should be just a rumor.

In short, Li You also told Dr. Camden all this, making Dr. Camden's eyes brighter and brighter, and his expression became more and more excited.

"What you said is so valuable! Radio, where is my unlimited power? I need to contact Zerei and discuss it with him!"

Li You reluctantly took out a radio and said, "I have already set a signal and asked the slums to restore the power of the communication tower. You can communicate smoothly now. But I have one last question."

Camden was almost impatient: "What's the question? Ask it quickly!"

Li You: "Did Hassan ever mention what happened in the suburbs?"

Li You didn't think that the situation in the suburbs that Hassan mentioned before taking action was fabricated out of thin air.

Combined with the information obtained from the comedian Kahn of the Les gang, today's suburbs may be really different from those in the game, and some major changes have occurred.

This time, Dr. Camden thought about it carefully and then said: "Hassan has never mentioned it to me, but once he went out to the suburbs, and when he came back he had some injuries on his body. It looked like I even asked him about what Night Demon had left behind, but he just fooled me with a few words."

"If there's anything I know about him related to the suburbs, it's this."

Li You nodded, handed the radio to Camden, and said, "In that case, I won't bother you. The bodies of Hassan and Les will be delivered soon, and we will do our best to Capture a few escapees for your study.”

"The operations to recapture the institute are already being deployed. Once we regain control of the institute, I will pick up Dr. Zere from the slums and send you back together for research."

Camden was a little surprised, but then he stretched out his hand and shook Li You's hand firmly: "Thank you so much!"

After bidding farewell to Dr. Camden, Li You returned to the office.

He took out a piece of paper and wrote down several things that threatened the survivors of Harlan.

The Rice Gang, the infected, the military.

Among them, the Rice Gang has been disintegrated, and only a few remnants remain, which will soon be wiped out.This biggest threat to the survivors no longer exists.

As for the military, because Rice has not successfully disclosed evidence that GRE is researching virus weapons, GRE still controls public opinion. As long as they do not lose patience, it is impossible for the military to send fighter jets to clear the ground for the time being.

Therefore, the most urgent target at the moment must be the infected.

Or to put it more clearly...

Li You used a pen to draw a horizontal line under the words infected, and then wrote a few more words.

"Suburban, Holy Mother."

Looking at the name on the paper, Li You fell into thinking.

"It seems that a trip to the suburbs is necessary."

Not only to see the condition of the Holy Mother of the Sons of the Sun sect, but also to get more Harlan virus reagents, the blue elixir.

Yuzu had already finished sucking the one that the system had rewarded before, and now she could only eat the internal organs of the Night Demon every day to ingest the Harlan virus.

But this speed is too slow. If it continues like this, Zerei and Camden may have developed the antidote, and Yuzu hasn't absorbed enough of the virus for him to strengthen.

In the end, what Li You fears most is that the incident in the suburbs went unexpectedly, allowing the Virgin to obtain the nuclear bomb code.Then she sent all the survivors and infected people in Harlan to heaven with "love".

Thinking of one of the endings of the Believer DLC in the game, Li You couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. "We have to go to the suburbs as soon as possible."

Thinking of this, Li You called Karim and asked him to send someone to the first floor to bring Kahn who was locked up.

Karim went without saying a word, while Li You opened the system interface.

After yesterday's battle, the system has completed a new achievement.

……

[Congratulations on completing the achievement: Night Hunter Hunter. 】

[Achievement content: Kill a night hunter using melee weapons. 】

[Achievement reward: achievement points × 800, wrist-mounted grappling hook catapult × 1, reward extraction opportunity × 3. 】

……

[Congratulations on completing the achievement: Clearing out the Night Demon's Lair. 】

[Achievement content: Destroy three night devil nests. 】

[Achievement reward: achievement points × 600, self-selected attribute skill book × 1, Night Stalker suit random parts × 2. 】

……

[Congratulations on completing the hidden achievement: it turns out you really have feelings. 】

[Achievement Content: Witness the perception of the tears of the Night Demon or Night Hunter. 】

[Achievement reward: Portable translator × 1. 】

……

"Ok?"

Li You's attention was immediately attracted by the last hidden achievement.

Is there such an achievement in the system?
It looks like a plot achievement, but the world Li You lives in is not a game. Objectively speaking, it is not that difficult to complete this hidden achievement.

But this reward...?
Translator?Not even giving achievement points?

Is this achievement a bit too unique?

Li You took out the translator with a question mark on his face, and then found that its shape was similar to a Bluetooth headset hanging outside the ear. It was small in size and had a sense of technology in its style. The bright yellow breathing light on the headset flashed.

"Handsome, quite handsome..."

Li You unfolded the item description.

[Portable translator: can translate any established language or prototype language into the user's language, and can be upgraded. 】

Li You: "Woc!?"

Universal translator! ?

This thing is really awesome!

As a person who is relatively proficient in both Chinese and English languages, Li You still understands how much effort it takes to master a language proficiently.

As a result, this translator immediately allowed him to understand all languages, even prototype languages.

Doesn't that mean that when he goes to other game worlds in the future, he can communicate with those strange races without any barriers?

However, Li You studied it carefully and found that it was not that good, because the translator could only translate what he heard, and the translator would not translate what he said.

I guess this "upgradeable" note is just for this.

Not bad, Li You took it directly and continued to check other rewards.

The second thing he cares about is naturally the grappling hook catapult given by the Night Hunter achievement.

Li You took it out and took a look and found that it was a pair of gadgets similar to wristbands or bracelets. They were not thick, but they were five centimeters wide, like a pair of wrist guards.Slender ropes wrap around the surface, and there's a launch port at the top.

[Wrist-type grapple catapult: The grapple catapult worn on the wrist can shoot a grapple rope up to 15 meters long. After hooking the target, it will quickly shrink to bring the target closer.But you need enough attribute values ​​to use it. 】

[Requirements for use: Strength 20, Agility 18/Strength 15, Agility 12, and "Grappling Hook Mastery" skill. 】

"...Tsk, I knew it."

The attribute requirements for this thing are really high.

But it’s not surprising when you think about it. Without the physical fitness of Spider-Man and Peter Parker, if ordinary people want to play with a grappling hook, they will probably tear off their own arms first when they throw the grappling hook and pull it back.

Players like Crane and Aunt Wang really need to have inhuman physiques to be able to play like that.

If the original requirements of this thing were to be followed, Li You estimated that this thing would have to gather dust in his backpack for a long time, but the existence of the grappling hook mastering skill gave him hope.

His current attributes are: Strength 10, Agility 12, Intelligence 11, Perception 9, Spirit 11. They have not been improved for a long time.

The hunter suit he is wearing now has a slight increase in physical fitness, and his strength and agility can be increased a little further, namely 11 and 13 points.

According to Li You's estimation and his attempts during this period, this physical quality has been stably superior to that of ordinary night demons. In other words, regardless of other special abilities, if Li You is simply allowed to wrestle or compare speed with a night demon, then Li You is also stronger.

But compared to the evolved Night Demon, it may be slightly worse.

In a world without extraordinary power, this physical strength can be said to have reached the pinnacle of normal humans.

For example, Li You is sure that Crane's physical fitness is not as good as his, but he still can't use the grappling hook catapult.

It can only be said that the performance and setting of the game are two different things from the game world in which it is located.

Li You looked at his backpack and skill panel.

To meet the conditions for using the grapple catapult, you must first have 15 strength and 12 agility.Li You's agility is enough, but his strength is still a little lacking.

But this is easy to solve. The remaining achievement of clearing the night devil's lair gives you a self-selected attribute skill book, which is much worse than the all-attribute skill book he obtained before. However, it can also let Li You choose any attribute +2.

Coupled with the enhancement of the hunter suit, the power is just 15 points.

So the remaining problem is the proficiency of survival skills, which has not increased much recently.

[Survival Skills-Advanced: Proficiency (541/1000)]

This is not surprising, after all, Li You has been busy recently and has not bothered to brush up on his proficiency.

So Li You made up his mind to brush up his survival skill proficiency to 1000 as soon as possible.

Then use the attribute skill book to equip the wrist-mounted grappling hook catapult.

By then, he will also be Harlan's Spider-Man!

As for the last remaining rewards, they are the random parts of the Night Stalker suit.

Li You took a brief look and found that the Night Stalker suit had a total of six parts, goggles, gloves, boots, tops, trousers, and personal armor.

Each piece of equipment has its own special effects and can be equipped individually, or combined into a set to activate the set features.

A very classic set of equipment.

What Li You received was a top and trousers.

They are all black with bright yellow paint, which is exactly the same style as the Night Stalker goggles.

However, their special effects are relatively average. In addition to their extra defense against Night Demon attacks, they can only improve their physical fitness a little, but they are not as good as hunter suits, nor are they as valuable as goggles that can be equipped alone.

In addition, because Li You has already obtained three pieces of equipment, you can see the final set characteristics.

【Night Stalker Set】

[Set Features: Night Stalker.It can be used once every 12 hours. After activation, the damage to the Night Demon will be greatly increased in a short period of time, and the resistance to the Night Demon's attack will be greatly increased. However, after the effect ends, it will fall into a weak state, which lasts for 1 hour. 】

Well, after the identification, it is of little use at this stage.

Li You turned off the panel directly.

"Perhaps you can lend it to Crane if necessary?"

　One more chapter later.
