Harlan, suburbs. The suburbs are different from the slums and the old city. The terrain here is vast, farms are scattered everywhere, and there are mountains, rivers, and seas, a pastoral scene. However, if you look closely, you will find that unlike the rural atmosphere on the surface, the farms are not wandering farmers, but zombies with festering skin and staggering steps. The survivors gathered in various farms, zombies were rampant in the wild, bandits were roaming, and special mutant monsters that were not in the city were entrenched in different places. To be honest, it was quite dangerous. When Li You came here, he saw zombies running all over the ground, and a group of bandits who occupied a farm below and were trying to shoot down his helicopter with rifles. Li You didn't intend to pay attention to them, but the persistent efforts of the group of bandits finally angered him, so Li You took out the grenade launcher, loaded it with explosive bombs, and aimed it at the bandits below. "Bang--" With a muffled sound, the grenade flew down and landed accurately in the middle of the group of bandits. "Boom!" The explosion came, and the bandits gathered below were all blown away, and in a blink of an eye, there was not a single one left.
Li You touched the grenade launcher in his hand and felt that it felt really good. Rupert is indeed a master gunsmith. He can adjust this grenade launcher that was almost scrapped to be like a brand new one. His craftsmanship is really amazing. After putting away the grenade launcher, Li You wanted to let Clan, who was in charge of driving, continue on his way, but suddenly, his eyes focused and he found something below. "Wait, stop." He seemed to see the unknown person of the sect through the roof of the barn just now? Li You originally planned to continue on his way and go directly to the farm of Yasir, who was equivalent to the general leader of the survivors in the suburbs, but he didn't expect that after killing a few blind bandits on the way, he found a guy suspected to be an unknown person on the farm they occupied. "Clan, wait for me here for a while, I'll go down and take a look." As he said, Li You didn't even tie the safety rope and jumped directly from the helicopter! During the fall, Li You turned around quickly, and then the wristband on his wrist suddenly ejected a thin grappling hook, which was accurately hooked on the sled at the bottom of the helicopter. Li You's falling momentum slowed down immediately, and the grappling hook rope pulled him lightly to the top of the barn below. Then, Li You exerted a little force with his hand, and the grappling hook released the sled and quickly retracted into the wristband. After two days of almost day and night brushing proficiency, Li You has practiced the forging skill to the intermediate level, and the survival skill has finally brushed enough 1,000 experience points, breaking through the advanced level and reaching the mastery level. [Survival Skills-Mastery: Proficiency (1101/2500)] [Forging Skills-Intermediate: Proficiency (209/500)] So now, after unlocking the "Grappling Hook Mastery" skill and using the attribute skill book on the strength value, Li You's full equipment attributes have reached strength 15 and agility 13, and he can use the grappling hook catapult. …But I have to say that the power of 15 is still a bit difficult to use. Every time he uses his arm, it hurts a lot, so he can't use it continuously. But it feels really good to be Harlan Spiderman! So just bear with the little pain. Rubbing his wrist gently, Li You took out the original gun, and then jumped in from the hole on the top of the barn.
The large barn with a shed roof is divided into two floors. The bandits who just went up to the top to attack Li You have all been blown away, but there are still a few remnants on the first floor. Seeing Li You jump into the barn, they immediately began to concentrate their fire, and the dense bullets raised a cloud of dust. However, when the dust cleared, they found that Li You was no longer there. The remaining bandits were surprised and shouted for people to come forward to check, and suddenly saw a pistol flying out from another corner of the barn, directly piercing the bandit in front! Blood flowed from the bandit's mouth, but the pistol was immediately pulled back, leaving a hole in his chest that was transparent from front to back. The sudden change in pressure made him unable to even scream, and he fell down helplessly. "Fire! Fire!" The other bandits shouted and shot in the direction where the pistol flew, but even they knew that this would be a waste of effort. Sure enough, immediately afterwards, a glass bottle that flew from nowhere fell into the bandits, shattered with a click, and then a thick brown mist that was almost liquid enveloped them all! The bandits coughed violently, and then each of them seemed to be drunk, staggering and unable to tell left from right, and fell heavily to the ground one after another. The next moment, three flying knives flew out almost at the same time, piercing the vital points of the three bandits and sending them away completely. And Li You appeared from the second floor of the barn, holding a small round glass bottle filled with brown liquid in his hand, throwing it one by one. The glass bottle in his hand was naturally the liquid jammer that was proposed by Rasin and then given to Dr. Lina, pharmacist Aman, and pharmacist Ryan to study together. This jammer was derived from the failed concealment potion brewed by the witch Dalia. It was specially improved by Dr. Lina and others. Now it looks like smoke, which can make people who inhale it completely lose their sense of direction. It is very effective against human enemies. Unfortunately, it has almost no effect on the infected. After all, it is derived from their body tissues, which is also predictable. But this kind of throwing object has played a miraculous effect more than once in the two days of light guard's battle to eliminate the remnants of the Rice Gang. Li You felt that the effect of this jamming bomb was very unique and might have miraculous effects at certain times, so he kept a lot of them on him. Although even if he doesn't use this, with his current terrifying physical attributes of 15 strength and 13 agility, he would be completely crushed against ordinary people. Even if you can't dodge bullets head-on, it's easy to prevent the enemy from aiming. Cleaning out a few bandits was just a warm-up. Li You put away the jamming bombs and came to the end of the barn. There is a person nailed to the wall here. Just nailed, his hands were brutally pierced with thick iron nails, smashed into the wall, and his whole body was forcibly pulled up. He was wearing a white robe and a wooden mask decorated with sun patterns on his face, completely covering his face except for his eyes. This is the standard dress of the unknown people who are members of the Sons of the Sun sect. To be more precise, their name should be translated as "Faceless". When Li You came over to take a look, he found that the unknown person was still alive. He also noticed Li You's approach and heard the sounds of the battle just now. So he reluctantly raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice: "...Who is...?" Li You replied: "Passers. But I'm here to find you, unknown people." The man seemed to realize something: "...are you from...Haran...?" "Yes."
The unknown person let out a long breath: "...So that's it, that's it...that's it. The person who predicted it finally appeared, but it's a pity...it's too late. The Holy Mother...has..." Li You said: "I am not the person you predicted. That person is still in heaven. But I am very interested in what you said. What happened to the Holy Mother?" The unknown person became weaker and weaker, and could only barely hold on, and said the last few words: "...Go to the...Eye of the Sun! There is..." As he said that, the unknown man lowered his head and made no more movement. Li You didn't complain about his standard NPC death method, but recalled the plot of the game. "The Eye of the Sun? It's the place where Crane saw the first ceremony in the main plot, right?" While pondering, Li You raised his hand, the grappling hook popped out, hooked on the barn roof, and pulled him up. Li You used his other hand to shoot the grappling hook, and this time he jumped directly onto the helicopter. Crane turned around and asked, "What's going on down there?" Li Youyou: "A member of the sect was nailed to the wall. Before he died, he asked me to find a lake called the Eye of the Sun." Crane had memorized the map of the suburbs before he came. After hearing this, he immediately said: "Is that the lake on the edge of the mountain? Should we go there first?" But Li You said: "Don't worry, let's go to Yasir's farm first according to the original plan." Sun Eye Lake is in the northwest of the suburbs, while Yasir Farm is in the middle of the northern area. The location where Li You and the others entered the suburbs by helicopter was probably in the northernmost part, about the same distance from the farm and the Eye of the Sun. So Li You decided to go to the farm first as planned. The helicopter then took off and flew towards the farm. When the helicopter arrived at the farm, everyone on the farm had been attracted outdoors by the loud noise of the propellers. Villagers huddled together, looking up at the helicopters hovering in the sky. Li You was about to jump off the plane, but the residents gathered below were quickly dispersed by a man wearing a red woolen coat, a round felt hat, and a thick beard. Then the man gestured to Li You, indicating that they should land. Crane asked Li You for his opinion, and then controlled the helicopter to slowly land in the open space in the middle of the farm. When Li You got off the helicopter, the man just stopped him: "Stranger, why are you here?" Li You knew him. He was Yasir, the owner of this farm and equivalent to the village chief of the survivors in the suburbs. The people here are very repulsive to outsiders. In the game, Ricklan hit a wall when he first came to the farm. Kahn, who was still pretending to be a wandering businessman, told him that he had to do something for these people before they could accept him. . However, Li You didn't have time to run the task of cleaning the toilet, and said bluntly: "I'm here to see the Holy Mother." Not only Yasir, but all the surrounding villagers changed their colors: "How dare you be so disrespectful! You actually called the Holy Mother by her first name!" What's more, there are already villagers around with weapons such as sickles and hoes, trying to surround them. Li You's eyes flashed and he realized that the villagers here seemed to be more hostile to outsiders than in the game. Without further ado, he took out the mask of the unknown person he found in the barn and held it high. Seeing this mask, all the villagers showed awe and took a step back. Yasir even exclaimed, then half-knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said, "It's the mask of an unknown person! Could it be that...?"
Li You said: "I solved a group of bandits in the barn to the north. There was an unknown person you mentioned in the barn. He was too seriously injured and couldn't survive, so he finally gave me the mask and asked him to I'm looking for the Holy Mother." Basically, what Li Yao said is true. And he was holding the mask of the unknown man in his hand. Yasser did not dare to refute and said: "Please wait a moment, I will contact the unknown people right away. Only they know how to deal with this situation." As he spoke, Yasir turned around and returned to the barn, and asked others to disperse. Cran poked his head out of the helicopter and said, "It doesn't look like there's much wrong, but I always feel like these villagers give people a weird feeling." Li You said, "Their mental state is not normal. When we came, these people were not plowing or working, but all of them were praising the Virgin Mary." "The key is that it looks like they have been doing this for a whole morning. Don't they farm?" Cran also noticed the pile of firewood and incense that had basically burned out in the open space where the villagers had gathered just now, and nodded, "It's really weird." Before the two of them could come to any conclusion, Yasir came out of the barn again, followed by an unknown person wearing a mask and a robe. Yasir said to Li You, "This is the unknown person in charge of our farm area. He will communicate with you about what you said." The unknown person stepped forward and said, "Please let me talk for a moment." Li You exchanged glances with Cran, so Cran stayed behind the helicopter, and Li You followed the unknown person into the barn alone. The unknown person took Li You to the deepest corner of the barn, where no one else was around, and then said to Li You: "Can you show me the mask?" Li You handed the mask over, and after carefully identifying it, the unknown person said: "So that's it, it's Orkan's, and his soul will be with the Virgin Mary." Then he looked at Li You and asked: "Did he say anything else to you before he died?" Li You said: "Nothing, except asking me to find the Virgin Mary, he only said something about the prophet, which I didn't understand." The unknown person pondered for a moment before saying: "So that's it. Then, stranger, you must have your own purpose for coming here, right? Let me guess, you are also looking for elixirs?" Li You took advantage of the situation: "Yes, I heard that the elixirs you have can make people immune to zombie attacks." Then the unknown person chuckled and said: "We do have such a method, but if you want to know the details, you need to contribute to us." "Go find Yasir, he will tell you which jobs are suitable for you." Sure enough, he came. Li You did not argue much, but asked: "Besides helping you work, there should be other ways to contribute, right? For example... donating supplies?" The unknown person was a little surprised, but still said: "That's fine. There will be transport planes delivering airdrops every day. Those supplies are what we need. After submitting them, we can also calculate the contribution." Li You asked: "Then how much contribution does the airdrop package count as? How much do I have to reach to meet the Virgin Mary?" The unknown person smiled mysteriously: "If we calculate it based on one package, then about 20 to 30 will be enough." Li You: "Okay, wait." He turned around and left. The nameless person stood there quietly for a while, then as if sensing something, he raised his hands high and said to himself: "Yes, there are two strangers."
"I can't be sure who is the prophet, but I have arranged trials for them. I hope these trials can help us find the real prophet." "I understand, Holy Mother." Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a villager rushed into the barn, shouting: "Master Nameless! Something happened!!" The nameless person was displeased and said, "What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?" But the villager couldn't explain it, and just kept repeating "strangers". The nameless person pushed him away and came outside. Then, he saw a scene that he would never forget. In the open space not far away, Li You was constantly carrying disaster relief packages from the helicopter. The packages were piled up next to him, and they were as high as a table, and Li You had not stopped moving the packages. The villagers gathered around the helicopter, their eyes wide open. After much difficulty, Li You finally finished moving. He patted the mountain of packages that had piled up to his chest, and smiled at the stunned quartermaster and the unknown person: "How come there are more than 30 packages here? How about it, can I see the Virgin Mary?" The quartermaster and Yasir were completely dumbfounded, and the unknown person pointed at Li You, "You, you..." for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with a name, and Li You was worried that he would choke himself to death. After a long time, the unknown person finally recovered and looked at Li You: "You...how come you have so many disaster relief packages?" Li You ignored him: "Just tell me if these count as contributions?" The unknown person stuttered: "You, I...this..." But then, the unknown person suddenly paused, then raised his head, looked at the sky, and talked to himself again. "…Yes, I understand. I will obey your will." Others knelt down on the ground when they saw this scene and began to praise the greatness of the Virgin Mary. Li You understood that the Virgin Mary was communicating with the unknown person through telepathy. It must be said that this ability was really convenient. Li You was a little envious. Then, the unknown person ended the conversation with the Virgin Mary, turned to look at Li You, and said: "Stranger, the Virgin Mary has noticed you and recognized your contribution. You can go to the mountaintop temple next to the Eye of the Sun Lake to meet the Virgin Mary herself." Li You nodded, and without caring about others, he was about to board the plane and leave. But at this time, he suddenly noticed a small detail, so he walked to Yasir and asked: "Yasir, I heard that you have a daughter, right? Why don't I see her?" Unexpectedly, when Yasir heard Li You talk about this, his face changed immediately, and he said angrily: "She!? That rebellious girl dared to question the grace of the Virgin Mary! I have already driven her out of the farm, just as if there is no such daughter!" Li You pondered, then said no more, boarded the helicopter and left. On the way to the temple on the top of the mountain, Li You told Kelan about this matter and concluded: "These villagers are definitely not normal. Although Yasir is a strict father, he loves his daughter very much, but he actually drove his daughter out of the farm to fend for herself. There is something wrong." Kelan also said: "And as the village chief, his daughter actually questioned the grace of the Virgin Mary. This matter itself is very strange."
Li You said: "The situation in the suburbs is not as calm as it seems on the surface... Let's go to see the Virgin Mary first." The helicopter flew to the Eye of the Sun, Kelan parked the plane at the foot of the mountain, and then climbed to the top of the mountain with Li You along the trail. A huge stone statue stands on the top of the mountain, and at the foot of the statue is an ancient temple, which is protected in the middle by a square wall made of huge stones. Two unknown people stood at the entrance gate of the temple, each holding an incense burner in their hands, and the incense burner kept emitting blue mist. They waved to Li You and Kelan, motioning them to come over. Clan didn't think much about it and was about to approach, but Li You pulled him back and asked the two unknown people without any hesitation: "What is this?" One of the unknown people said: "This is the baptism mist. Embrace it and the favor of the Virgin Mary will come to you." Li You said: "I'm sorry, we both have allergic rhinitis and can't smell the smoke. Please put away these two incense burners, otherwise, we won't go to see the Virgin Mary for the time being." The two unknown people looked at each other and didn't know how to respond for a while. For them, they never thought that someone would refuse the gift of the Virgin Mary and refuse to step into the mist. But then, the two unknown people seemed to hear something again, and then responded to Li You: "If you don't want to accept the baptism of the mist, then you can't step into this temple." "It's getting late now. Since you insist on doing this, let's go back to the foot of the mountain to rest for the time being. We'll talk tomorrow." As he said, another unknown person walked out and motioned Li You and the others to go down the mountain with him. Clan was a little confused, but he still listened to Li You and followed him down the mountain. The unknown person sent them to a house and asked them to rest there tonight. He also told them not to go out at night and ignore any noises similar to human voices. After the unknown person left, Clan carefully checked the house and found no eavesdropping equipment. Then he asked Li You about what happened just now. "What!? That smoke is the elixir?" Hearing Li You's words, Clan almost jumped up. After all, a normal person would be scared to know that he was almost turned into a monster like the Night Demon. "... So, the Virgin Mary really has bad intentions?" Li You said: "That's not necessarily the case. The Virgin Mary and her sect have always used elixir to "entertain" believers. It may be just a routine. But..." Before Li You finished speaking, suddenly, a black shadow flashed outside the window, and then a stone was thrown in and fell in front of the two. "Who!?" Clan was about to chase him out, but Li You stopped him and pointed at the stone on the ground. Clan took a look and found a note wrapped around it. He picked up the note, which read: "Don't believe the words of the nameless person! Come here to meet us before dark." There was also a sketch below, with a route drawn with crooked ink. Clan felt that he was confused a lot today: "What is this...?" Li You smiled: "Clue. Let's go and take a look here. If my guess is right, we should be able to get some answers there."
The suburban plot officially began. The author plans to speed up and finish the extinction plot as soon as possible. It is expected to be completed within ten chapters. Then I will not write about Sekiro in the next world, but return to Resident Evil 4.
