Chương 2: Chapter 2
Memories were telling Li Yexing that this was indeed his favorite taste in the world, but for the current Li Yexing, the lump of stuff in the plate was truly unappetizing. Surprisingly, Li Yexing couldn't eat Western food.
Holding his fork, under the inexplicable gaze of the shop owner, Li Yexing forced himself to swallow the steak bite by bite. He felt his taste buds convulsing and protesting but in keeping with the principle of never wasting food. He finished the entire plate and made up his mind to start cooking himself from tomorrow unless there were special circumstances.
Li Yexing stood up, patted his butt, and prepared to leave. The shop owner gently reminded him, "Don't forget the tab you owe."
Li Yexing didn't turn around, he just waved his hand to indicate that he understood. As he pushed open the door, a tall man squeezed in.
"Please bring me a glass of cold beer." The man sat down with his back to Li Yexing and spoke to the owner.
Li Yexing unconsciously took a second look at the man. The man had neatly cut short hair and was dressed in thick clothes, but this couldn't conceal his muscular physique. He was like a poised tiger as if with a little effort, his muscles would burst out of his clothes.
Unable to make sense of it, Li Yexing pushed the door and left.
Just as he left, the muscular man turned his head and seemed lost in thought. Of course, Li Yexing had no idea that he had caught the attention of a certain muscle-bound man.
Li Yexing went to a nearby grocery store and bought a lot of pots, pans, and utensils, carrying them back to his small abode in big and small bags. Compared to when he first arrived, the house was much cleaner, although the inexplicable stains and graffiti on the walls still bothered him. But Li Yexing didn't have time to worry about that. He neatly arranged the kitchen with all the items he bought, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It finally feels like a place someone can live in."
The only thing he needed to consider now was the armed escort mission in a few days. As a former small-time citizen, Li Yexing had no concept of armed escort missions, and the only thing he could rely on was the memories of this body.
Sitting on the sofa, Li Yexing began to recall the memories this body possessed, most of which were miscellaneous things. The mother of this world Li Yexing had passed away, and the father was a businessman who didn't care much about the family. He engaged in shady deals and was eventually fed to the fish by pirates during a trip abroad.
The father's unscrupulous friends deceived this world Li Yexing out of his inheritance and threw him into the sea as well. However, this world Li Yexing was surprisingly lucky and was rescued by a passing ship.
Next, he wandered around the Golden Triangle for a few years. Not only did he not die, but he also made a name for himself. Three years later, he skinned alive and fed the scum who deceived him before of his father's inheritance to the fish.
This move was not well received and it angered certain people. As a result, he couldn't continue to stay in that area. Luckily, his big brother was righteous and helped him out by getting him smuggled to his later employer.
It was said that this employer was a retired member of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service unit. After Umbrella Corporation went bankrupt, this old mercenary lost his source of income and went to Eastern Europe during the turbulent times to make some money.
The daring and capable Li Yexing then became his assistant. He would take odd jobs and do anything for money. In this way, two more years went by.
The boss had wanted to retire after a few more deals, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Last year, he took on a job to be the bodyguard of an arms dealer who wanted to negotiate a deal.
The two parties couldn't come to an agreement and a fight broke out. The employer was saved, but the boss got his head blown up by someone's finger-sized bullet hole. The brain matter flew out several meters away.
From then on, Li Yexing, who received his commission, became a lone wolf. He wasn't starving because he had learned the skills from his boss. From then on, he lived a life of living for today and getting drunk today.
"This is really... magnificent," Li Yexing exclaimed from the bottom of his heart after finishing the memories of this body. This version of Li Yexing was truly an impressive man, and his story was enough to make a drama series that could run for several seasons.
Although this world Li Yexing's soul had been injected with the low-end version of Li Yexing, the soul of this high-level player seemed to have influenced him, and his strength had at least increased by one level.
Li Yexing roughly recalled the details of the armed escort mission. This time, the cargo is confidential, and there will be external armed personnel accompanying and protecting the convoy.
The employer has reached an agreement with local forces, and the convoy will pass through the town to the suburbs. Li Yexing's task is simple. As a local, he will take care of everything and guide the convoy to its destination.
He was just a passer-by, Li Yexing didn't think there will be any armed conflict during the mission process, but for safety's sake, he still needs to prepare.
He came to the warehouse, turned on the lights, and put on the equipment one by one. Waist belt, gloves, bulletproof vest, and windproof goggles, and finally took down the AR-15 hanging on the wall and skilfully operated it.
Various small accessories such as holographic sight, tactical flashlight, and silencer were installed on the gun body one by one. Finally, he loaded the bullets, pushed off the safety, and posed for aim.
"As expected" Although he had never touched a gun before, thanks to the memory of this body, the weapon seemed to become a part of his body and even his life.
The operation was smooth and flowing. It seemed that there was nothing to worry about. In a few days, he would dress up like this, go through the motions, and get the remaining $400,000.
Li Yexing is not the enhanced version of himself who spends money like water. $400,000 is enough for him to enjoy a carefree life for a while.
He took off all the equipment except for the pistol, which was loaded with bullets, and took out a can of beer from the refrigerator, not knowing the brand. Li Yexing sat on the sofa, with his legs on the table, and lit a cigarette for himself.
At this moment, his soul and the memory of this body merged. The former owner of this body had also sat on this broken sofa for hundreds of nights, smoking and drinking, looking up at the ceiling, recalling the ups and downs of the past.
But now, Li Yexing didn't think too much. He just made this unconscious move following the memory of his body.
"Sure enough, has my soul been influenced by this body? My emotions have become so indifferent." Li Yexing realized, and then he couldn't help but wonder if he had crossed over to this world, then where did the original soul of this body, that heartless mercenary Li Yexing, go?
Could it be that they had swapped souls with each other? If that were the case, he wondered how the other Yexing would feel when waking up and finding himself with a stupid look on his face, with all his muscles gone.
And he was also worried about whether that guy could take care of his parents in their old age. But it should be possible.
If his soul had been influenced by this body, then there was no reason why the soul of that guy wouldn't be influenced by his original body.
Maybe he would unexpectedly turn into a handsome guy who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. For the next few days, Li Yexing followed the habit of his past life and passed the time idly.
He tried cooking in this new place and the results were pleasing. People who lived alone usually had decent cooking skills.
If he was bored, he would open his computer and read recent news, major events from the past few years, and international situations, such as the progress of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance military operations against bioterrorism in Africa, or India's suspected biological experiments related to biochemical weapons and the further pressure exerted by the United Nations.
Li Yexing had traveled to the year 2005, only seven years after the Raccoon City incident, and the biohazard crisis had become a global threat. He couldn't help but sigh at humanity's ability to court death.
Although many arms dealers were not sure why those monsters in cages could be sold more expensive than conventional weapons.
Clearly, as long as there was money to be made, it was a good deal. As for the consequences of these things ending up in the hands of buyers, these scums didn't care at all.
In his memory, the former boss whose head went crazy seemed to have worked for Umbrella Corporation before. He was once a member of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service under Umbrella Corporation.
It was said that besides dealing with small accidents in the laboratory, they also had to cooperate with the laboratory to test various monster data. They were like cannon fodder troops.
Sometimes, the boss would endlessly talk about his experiences in the Umbrella Paris branch when he got drunk. He said that one year ago, the laboratory lost a very expensive monster, and their team spent several months back and forth dealing with it.
In the end, the matter was left unresolved. As for the director of the experimental department? Well, no one has seen him since then.
Thanks to his understanding of the Resident Evil game series from his past life and the scattered memories in this body, Li Yexing can view the world's various problems from a god's perspective.
However, for now, all of this has nothing to do with Li Yexing. He is now just a small mercenary trading his life for money in a small country in Eastern Europe. The world's conspiracies are still far from him, and for now, he only needs to focus on doing what he needs to do.
A few days later, the day of the armed escort arrived. Li Yexing was fully armed, sitting on a stone by the roadside in the suburbs, playing with his phone while waiting. As the sun set, the distant sound of the convoy's engine could be faintly heard, gradually becoming louder and causing the road surface to vibrate.
Li Yexing's calm heart suddenly became somewhat agitated for no apparent reason, and a rumbling from deep within his soul made him a little nervous. Although this body can be said to have experienced countless battles, his original soul is essentially that of a small civilian who grew up in peacetime. He couldn't help but tighten the gun he held in his hand and looked towards the distance.
In the distance, he saw a row of black trucks coming toward him.
He stood up and waved to the lead truck, and the convoy stopped. A blonde man in a black suit who looked quite enthusiastic got out of the passenger seat and lightly pressed his gold-framed glasses as he looked at Li Yexing.
"Sir, are you the guide for this operation?"
"Correct." Li Yexing nodded.
"Haha, then you must be Mr. Li Yexing. It's a pleasure to meet you." After both parties confirmed their identities, the man warmly shook hands with Li Yexing.
"My name is Aiden Freeman, you can call me Freeman. Of course, if you are willing to call me Aiden, I don't mind. When I mentioned that our convoy was passing through Roples in Edonia, Mr. Argo immediately recommended you to me. He said you are a reliable guide."
"Oh." To be honest, Li Yexing is not good at dealing with these types of guys who look overly enthusiastic, whether in this life or the previous one.
"Anyway, let's get on the truck first. We can chat a lot in the back." He said, pulling Li Yexing onto the second truck.
The convoy started moving again.
