Chapter 1: Chapter 1
In the small room, a pile of strange documents filled the dirty table. A web page playing a pornographic video flickered on some old laptops, and beer cans and cigarette butts were scattered all over the floor.
Li Yexing, wearing boots and bare-chested, opened the bathroom with a memory he didn't know where it came from and looked at himself in the mirror. It was still the familiar face in the mirror, except that his hair was cut short, his complexion was a bit gloomy, and his developed but not bloated muscles were scarred in a few places, some from knife wounds and some from gunshot wounds.
Leaving the bathroom, he casually picked up the documents on the table, which were full of English and contained information about some armed escort mission.
"Ah... this is the mission in 5 days, to assist in escorting a batch of important goods through this city to the transfer point outside the suburbs."
A phantom memory quickly helped him recall the information in the document. He threw the document back on the table and leaned his head into contemplation.
The day before, he had just finished his job at a barbecue restaurant, went home, washed up briefly, and then fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself in this place, on a peeling sofa in a messy room, with an inexplicable body full of muscles and memories of another person.
"Heh, transmigration, huh..."
Li Yexing muttered to himself. He found himself unexpectedly calm in the face of this situation, which was abnormal. He was just a high school dropout struggling to make a living at the bottom of society, and should not have such great psychological resilience. But now he felt not a trace of panic about the fact that he had crossed over.
He touched his face and wondered if it was because he was influenced by another personality or memory of himself.
The memories in his mind told him that the owner of this body also named Li Yexing, who ate, drank, gambled, and whored around, was a heartless scum.
The land under his feet was the Republic of Edonia in Eastern Europe, where the political situation was extremely unstable. The small town he was in was called Roples, a town full of scum. The town and the surrounding areas were divided by government forces and local factions, achieving a strange balance.
In his previous life memory, the situation in Eastern Europe had stabilized, but here it was completely different. Where did the deviation come from? Li Yexing thought carefully, and then the biggest turning point between this world and the original world came to his mind.
The Raccoon City Incident!
In September 1998, the first global biohazard crisis broke out in the small town of Raccoon City in the western United States. To control the situation and prevent it from worsening, the U.S. government launched a military operation in early October of the same year.
Simply put, they used tactical nuclear bombs to blow up Raccoon City along with everything inside it, and this caused the culprit of the accident Umbrella Corporation to quickly go bankrupt and collapse. Although Umbrella Corporation was gone, its legacy spread widely on the black market, creating hellish landscapes on this planet.
"Well, this is really surprising. Did I actually transmigrate to the world of Resident Evil? This is so damn messed up," Li Yexing laughed bitterly. The Resident Evil series was almost his favorite game series before he transmigrated. He knew the plot of the game like the back of his hand. Perhaps it was a cruel joke played by God, he was sent here to play the real Resident Evil.
In his past life, Li Yexing was just an ordinary man and otaku. Besides working, his hobbies were nothing more than playing games and watching anime. After dropping out of school, his dad gave him 5,000 yuan and kicked him out of the house, saying, "What's the point of raising you if you're not going to study?"
Li Yexing was also holding back his anger. He rented a house and after surviving the most difficult month, his life gradually improved and became somewhat stable after more than a year.
But now that he had transmigrated to this world, let alone the monsters with explosive combat power and even more explosive main characters in Resident Evil, the problems he faced right now were enough to give him a headache.
This was not the peaceful and tranquil China, but the chaotic political environment of Edonia, and the small town under his feet were the lair of villains. Honest people couldn't survive here.
Coincidentally, Li Yexing of this world was a scoundrel who couldn't save money, spent it all when he had it, and lived for the moment, which meant that his savings were almost zero at this time. The only way to solve his financial predicament was the armed escort mission in a few days.
The buzzing sound of his phone came from his pocket, and Li Yexing subconsciously took it out. He saw a message that read, "100,000 US dollars have been deposited into your account. The balance will be settled after the mission is completed."
Now he had money. Or was it because the previous Li Yexing knew that 100,000 US dollars would be coming in that he dared to spend all the money earlier?
Unable to guess what his other self was thinking, Li Yexing shrugged habitually and then turned his head to look at the room that could barely be considered an office.
"Damn, it's so dirty."
The entire afternoon, Li Yexing tidied up the room. He put the cigarette butts and liquor bottles on the ground into plastic bags, arranged the documents neatly on the corner of the table, closed the yellowish web page, and started playing some music.
He took off the bed sheets and covers of the bedroom bed, along with the dirty clothes, and threw them all into the washing machine. Only the warehouse was left.
Opening the warehouse door, even though the emotions of the Li Yexing who had traveled through time had faded, he still took a sharp breath.
Wow, looking at the boxes of bullets, all kinds of miscellaneous items, a row of various types of pistols, and the two AR-15s hanging on the wall, Li Yexing's calm heart inexplicably began to beat faster.
These were not toys filled with water that he had hidden in his cabinet. They were the real deal! He walked forward and took one of them.
He saw that the gun was painted white, and some natural scratches and scrapes made the gun appear even more weathered. On the side of the gun was written in red Chinese characters, 'Only God Has Mercy'.
Suddenly, Li Yexing became curious about what his other self in this world had experienced. He carefully wiped each piece of equipment in the warehouse, arranged them neatly, then cleaned the floor, and finally opened the curtains and windows. The slightly cold fresh air rushed into the room.
"Ah, feels so good!"
He stretched lazily outside the door with his upper body bare. Looking at the dimly lit street, he thought that the money had been received, the house had been cleaned, and it was time to have some dinner.
The night in Roples was somewhat special, and it could be said to be completely different from the world that Li Yexing was familiar with.
Pedestrians carrying guns were everywhere, and the women who stood on the streets and sold their bodies flirted under the lights. Police officers and thugs walked shoulder to shoulder at street corners. These scenes formed a surreal yet reasonable picture in Li Yexing's eyes.
"Li~"
Suddenly, the pedestrian by the side of the road loudly greeted Li Yexing, "Are you coming to play tonight, honey? I just prepared some new toys that are a bit different. You will definitely like them." She licked her lips and looked at Li Yexing with her bright eyes, seeming like they could speak.
"No, no, my family is poor." Li Yexing quickly remembered this pedestrian named Teresa and waved his hand to politely refuse.
"Oh? That's too bad. It's a rare new toy. I hope you will come to visit me when you have some extra money..." Seeing that her seduction had failed, Teresa pouted and coquettishly sighed.
"Then, Li, you must come to see me next time." With that, her fingers gently slid between her cleavage and she threw a seductive glance at Li Yexing.
Li Yexing was just about to say something else when a tattooed bald man walked up next to him. He hugged Teresa and rubbed her while jokingly saying, "What's so good about that Asian guy? I'll accompany you tonight."
Teresa giggled and turned her head to look at Li Yexing, saying, "Oh, there's a guest tonight. Li, you must come to find me another day." She winked at Li Yexing again and followed the bald man into the room behind them.
In his past life, Li Yexing was a virgin, but in this world, he had already slept with all the women on the street before his consciousness crossed over.
This extraordinary contrast made Li Yexing have a subtle feeling towards these pedestrians as if it was between having slept with them or not. Perhaps this situation is similar to Schrödinger's cat where it's uncertain whether or not I have slept with them. [The concept of Schrödinger's cat has been used more broadly to describe situations where there is uncertainty or ambiguity about the state of something.]
Anyway, Li Yexing cleared his strange thoughts from his mind and followed his memories to the restaurant he usually went to.
Upon entering the restaurant, the owner greeted Li Yexing, "Oh, isn't this Li? It's been a while. Zhan bo said you had passed away."
Recalling who Zhan bo was, Li Yexing sat down on a chair and tapped lightly on the table with his index finger, skilfully ordering, "A large steak and another glass of cold beer. By the way, tell Zhan bo that if he dares to badmouth me again, I'll rip his tongue out."
Soon, a large plate of steak was brought out, and the owner placed a large glass of beer on Li Yexing's table, stating the price.
"Put it on my tab. The bank is already closed, so I'll have to withdraw money tomorrow."
"Damn!" The owner cursed, "you should be glad" he pointed to the hunting rifle hanging behind the counter, "If it was anyone else who said that, I'd have to serve them some bullets."
Li Yexing took a large gulp of cold beer, "Thanks."
The owner, who was preparing to leave, suddenly turned his head and stared at Li with widened eyes, making Li feel uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Li frowned at the owner.
"Nothing... I just feel like you're different today. Are you in a good mood?"
"No, that's just your imagination," Li said as he took a small piece of steak and put it in his mouth, then his expression changed strangely.
"Haha, I added some of your favorite fruit sauce today. How is it?"
Suppressing his agitated taste buds, Li put down his knife and fork, seeming to be contemplating something. His silence angered the owner, "What's wrong? Is it not to your taste? I'm sorry, even if you don't like it, you still have to pay."
"I'm not the type to run out on a bill." Li shook his head and looked at the brightly colored steak under the lights. A thought suddenly crossed his mind, "What kind of bullshit is this?"
