"Why are you here?"
Yang Tao curiously stared at the weary Leon and asked.
"Claire was taken..."
"Taken? Didn't I give her the key?"
Leon's words made Yang Tao a bit confused about the situation. Leon showed a helpless smile and said, "Claire didn't listen to my advice and went directly to investigate Umbrella's Paris branch..."
"By the time I rushed over, she had already been abducted. I spent some effort and found out she was imprisoned on Rockfort Island... I came here this time to ask for your help."
Rockfort Island?
When Yang Tao heard this slightly familiar name, information about the isolated Rockfort Island asylum automatically appeared in his mind.
'Has the plot of 'Resident Evil: Code Veronica' begun?'
Yang Tao was somewhat familiar with the plot of this installment.
It tells the story of an ordinary female college student, Claire, who single-handedly massacred Rockfort Island, and even took the time to wear a short-sleeved shirt to Antarctica and blow up an experimental base with her brother.
The main theme was just ordinary.
"Uh..."
To be honest, Yang Tao didn't want to go rescue her. With Claire's talent, she would definitely return safely, but the Veronica Virus was also quite interesting, and more importantly, the base in Antarctica was also quite good; it would be a shame to blow it up.
"Leon, you sit for a bit. Claire will be fine, you can rest assured about that."
Although Leon was anxious, hearing Yang Tao say this still put him somewhat at ease. In his eyes, Yang Tao was practically a prophet.
Chito and Yuuri were curiously surveying the surrounding environment. Suddenly, coming from the steel forest into this lush green world, they felt their eyes weren't enough; everything seemed incredibly curious.
He glanced at Conan and asked, "You suddenly ran over, why? What happened?"
"Dr. Agasa hasn't been back for many days, I wanted to come and check."
Conan spoke his inner thoughts.
"Don't worry, he's doing very well now!"
Currently, Dr. Agasa is having a great time playing with Doctor Octavius in the 'Spider-Man' world. Both of them have strong intellects and research capabilities. With the strong support of Oscorp Industries, they have access to various experimental materials and a large number of talents to assist them.
However, Harry is also very happy. Some of the black technology casually leaked from Dr. Agasa's hands is enough to make Osborn Corporation a fortune.
Now, the cooperation between the two sides has entered a honeymoon period.
Unlike in the plot, where Doctor Octavius spent several years researching with no results, and the experimental failure caused Oscorp Industries's reputation to plummet.
He took an office chair from Level 4 out of a box nearby and placed it on the ground for Leon and the others to sit.
"Eric, why are you here?"
Eric revealed a helpless expression and said, "There are many things to do this time. First, the M.E.G. people sent a lot of Almond water."
As he spoke, he took off his backpack and handed it to Yang Tao.
"Second, regarding the mechanical modification from last time, the M.E.G. people sent three individuals, ready to try it out. If it works, more people will come..."
"Third, the M.E.G. wants to know what you did to 'Jerry,' why 'Jerry' appears on various levels, and why he speaks ill of you."
Yang Tao: "..."
As he spoke, Eric took out a tablet from the backpack slung over his shoulder and handed it to Yang Tao.
He took the tablet and opened it.
What came into view was a paused event. Clicking play, the unique voice of 'Blue Skinny Chicken' sounded from the tablet.
"Entity 9527 'Yang Tao' is a scourge, he is your greatest enemy!"
"He just wants to occupy all levels!"
"One day this disaster will befall you humans, and I, Jerry, am your only salvation!"
Yang Tao: "..."
This broken bird just wants to spread its doctrine.
But if you're going to spread fire, why slander me?
"Where is it now?"
Eric took the tablet back, put it in his backpack, and said, "I don't know. People on many levels have reported seeing it, but without exception, everyone who encounters it hears it slandering you."
"Isn't this just a pure hater? I'm not its brother, why is it chasing after me to slander me?"
Yang Tao felt a bit of a toothache.
But what if one or two idiots believed its words? Wouldn't his kind persona be stained?
"Let it talk. I can't find it now. When I do find it, I'll have to treat it to some cookies."
"As for the people the M.E.G. wants to mechanically modify, just let them stay with you for now. I'll go with Leon to save someone later."
Yang Tao took out the [Seer Tea powder] from his backpack and brewed a cup of [Seer Tea] for each of the people present, pushing it in front of Eric with a smile.
Eric looked at the white powder in the jar, a thoughtful expression on his face, but he quickly got the answer, though he still asked with some uncertainty, "Seer Tea powder?"
Hearing Eric say the name of the item, Yang Tao immediately chuckled and said with great satisfaction, "An expert!"
Eric gave an awkward smile and said, "There aren't many items in the Backrooms. The only white powder that can be brewed with Almond water is Seer Tea powder."
At this point, he said with great emotion, "Something ordinary people might never see in their entire lives seems to be everywhere around you."
Yang Tao poured two more cups, one for Conan and one for Leon, and said, "It's not as exaggerated as you say."
"Since you know, then taste it. This stuff also has an aphrodisiac effect."
No man can resist the temptation of an aphrodisiac, even a foreigner like Eric. Otherwise, the blue pill wouldn't be so popular.
Eric picked up the cup, looked at it twice, and poured it directly into his mouth.
The sensation of maggots wriggling stimulated his taste buds. Although he knew this stuff was good, Eric still couldn't quite accept it.
Just as he was about to give up.
Yang Tao, quick-witted, had already covered his mouth and said with a chuckle, "This is good stuff, can't waste it..."
Eric: 'I know it's good stuff, but can you not cover my nose too?'
Just before he suffocated, Yang Tao let go of his hand, and Eric couldn't help but cough violently: "Cough cough..."
"This Seer Tea is more stimulating than described, but the effect is good. I feel much better."
Leon and Conan on the side were both stunned, but Yuuri, seeing everyone drinking this, scampered over. She had no idea how precious Seer Tea was, only that it could fill her stomach.
Looking at Yuuri's eager expression, Yang Tao reached out and took off the steel helmet on her head, saying, "You don't need to wear this here. Come, if you're hungry, here's this bottle of Almond water for you."
It wasn't that Yang Tao was stingy; mainly, he didn't know if there was an upper limit to Seer Tea's use. If consuming it multiple times a day was harmful to the body, that would be troublesome.
So he decided that no matter who it was, they could only drink one cup a day.
His gaze swept across Conan and Leon's faces, and he said with a smile, "Are you going to do it yourselves, or should I help you?"
