Multiverse , Leveling Up in the World I Created

Chapter 454: 454 Resident Evil 14

Once Sherry had eaten her fill, we set off as well.

As soon as we entered the corridor, Claire and Marvin came over to us and shared some information.

"Just a little further ahead, there’s a very thick door. It looks like it needs chess-shaped plugs. So we need to collect them. If you find any plugs while searching, bring them to the office."

"Will do."

The group began moving to solve the chess puzzle.

But going that way wouldn’t yield anything useful.

In the original, it was necessary to rescue Ada or Sherry, who had fallen into the waste disposal room, but right now, both were fine.

In the end, solving the puzzle was just a waste of time.

The problem was that only I knew that.

’Since it’s come to this, I might as well collect some items.’

In this underground sewer, I could obtain Claire’s exclusive weapon, the ’Spark Shot.’

But honestly, it was a bit of a white elephant.

Its performance in subduing a single enemy with an electric shock was excellent, but because you had to maintain your aim after firing, it was practically useless against multiple enemies.

That’s why most players prefer other weapons over the Spark Shot.

Still, the Spark Shot was a unique weapon that wasn’t sold in stores, so it had enough collectible value.

And as with the first game, with a reality guarantee, I never knew what else might be in the item storage room.

So I definitely wanted to check it out.

We passed through the lower sewer and headed for the item storage room.

This time, we used the shotgun to blast through all the doors blocking our way, so we didn’t have to wade through the dirty sewage.

But the wide passageway between the item storage room and the stairs leading to another floor, the ’Bottom of the Waterway’ (game location name), was a problem.

That place was covered in organic matter mutated by the virus, making it look like the inside of a giant monster’s intestine.

It was so repulsive that just looking at it made you not want to enter.

"Ugh... we have to go through there?"

Even Jill and Sherry, seeing the sight, shuddered and didn’t want to go.

"Then, you two wait here. I’ll go check it out and be right back. With Sherry here, it seems too dangerous for all of us to go."

"Th... Phew... Okay."

Jill looked like she had a lot to say, but she needed to protect Sherry, so she seemed to accept it.

"Don’t overdo it. If it looks bad, just come back."

"Got it."

Actually, going alone was better.

When I’m out of sight, I can use my abilities freely.

I handed my backpack to Jill, grabbed the railing, and climbed down.

I moved forward, stepping on the remaining patches of ground to avoid touching the dirty sewage.

I could have gone through the waterway like in the original, but I didn’t want to soak myself in that filthy water.

So I carefully checked each foothold and moved by jumping.

Of course, there were several creatures hiding in the sewage, but I ignored them.

They were hiding in the water, making them annoying to deal with, and their large size would have splashed dirty water everywhere.

Eventually, I arrived at the item storage room and went inside.

’Oh... lucky me.’

As expected, inside the item storage room, there wasn’t just the Spark Shot that should have been there, but also various other weapons.

Among them were a flamethrower and a minigun.

Of course, it wasn’t an unlimited minigun like in the original, but it held a magazine of 400 rounds.

There were also various machine guns, pistols, grenades, and piles of ammunition.

Seeing so many weapons, I felt it was a good decision to come alone.

I thoroughly sterilized all the weapons and ammunition and stuffed them all into my inventory.

Then I duplicated the minigun and flamethrower with [Matter Copy], grabbed the chess plugs from the item storage room, and returned to where Jill and Sherry were waiting.

"I’m glad you got back safely... but you brought back a lot of stuff, didn’t you?"

"Yeah. They had all these weapons. I also brought the chess plugs. Now we don’t need to go that way."

"Hah... that’s a relief. I wouldn’t have wanted to go through that place even for a million dollars."

Jill sighed in relief, and Sherry nodded in agreement.

We returned to the office.

The others were gathered there, discussing something with serious expressions.

"It seems too dangerous... we don’t know what’s in the sewer below..."

"Right. I couldn’t see clearly from a distance, but something was writhing down there."

So I asked them.

"Where are you guys talking about?"

Leon answered.

"We found a place below that looks hard to enter. We were trying to figure out what to do."

"Are you talking about that place that looks like a monster’s guts downstairs?"

"Ah, so you saw it too. That place."

At that, I showed them the plugs I had brought.

"We already went there, so we don’t need to go back."

"What? Really?! How did you..."

"I just went quickly on my own. I found these things inside too. It must have been an armory."

I placed the minigun and flamethrower on the office table.

"So I’d like to redistribute the weapons. I can’t carry all of them myself. They’re heavy, and I don’t have enough hands."

At that, the group began to deliberate.

Then Jill picked up the rapid-fire grenade launcher I had.

"I’ll take this. I saw Barry use it. I’d rather stick with something I’m familiar with."

But the next part was the problem.

Claire tried lifting the minigun and shook her head, deciding it wasn’t for her.

Marvin and Leon also gave it a try.

"It’s too heavy. The weapon itself is heavy, and the magazine is right next to it... It’s not unusable, but if I use this, I won’t be able to carry anything else."

"I know, right."

There was a reason for all this: the minigun and its ammunition weighed over 30 kilograms.

So I decided to use the minigun myself, and Marvin took the flamethrower.

To reduce weight, I gave away most of the grenades I had brought to the others.

With the weapons distributed, we took the chess plugs I had brought and moved to the projector room.

"So... the rook goes next to the knight... and since the queen isn’t looking at the queen... here? Huh, it won’t open?"

"That’s not it. Here, let me. I’ll try."

After Leon struggled with the chess puzzle for a while, Ada stepped in.

Click!

"Oh, it opened. I guess you really are an FBI agent!"

"Hah... it’s a relief... but the cable car to the lab is right there. Why don’t we just take that? Why is this so important?"

It was amusing that Ada said exactly what I was thinking.

"You never know. If they went through the trouble of locking it with such an important puzzle, there must be something there."

We opened the thick iron door and went inside, but sure enough, it was just a waste disposal room with an iron railing and a gaping hole below, as if it was under construction.

"Why on earth would they lock the door to a waste disposal room with a puzzle like that? That’s terrible taste."

"It looks like they were building something. Maybe it was a door for that."

"Hah... I had high hopes..."

Leon, having expected something more, grumbled in disappointment.

Like the other Resident Evil protagonists, he seemed to have a strong sense of adventure.

Then, suddenly, a sound of something climbing up from the construction site was heard.

Crash! Crack!

"Something’s coming!"

I quickly shouted to the group.

The others, alerted by the ominous sound, tensed up and aimed their weapons, ready for an unknown enemy.

Soon, a massive figure emerged beyond the unfinished iron railing.

It was none other than William Birkin.

But he looked vastly different from when we first encountered him.

His original head was now attached to his left chest, and in place of his neck, a new head made of a massive muscle mass had sprouted.

The G-Virus had now almost completely taken over his body.

"Damn it, I thought he wouldn’t show up again."

Leon, recognizing the monster that had appeared when they rescued Sherry, frowned.

We immediately opened fire on William.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Boom! Click, bang! Click, bang! Kaboom!

"Damn, the bullets aren’t working!"

"Aim for the eye on his shoulder! That’s his weak point!"

This time, the situation was similar to before, but the advantage was that we had more teammates providing fire support, so William couldn’t approach quickly.

However, since the G-Virus had taken over his body, his movements were no longer clumsy, and he used his massive right hand to cover his weak point, preventing us from landing a solid hit.

Grrraaagh!!

"Damn, we’re being pushed back!"

William was advancing slowly but steadily, absorbing our fire, so the situation wasn’t good.

"I’ll hold him off! Everyone, get out through the door we unlocked! Hurry!"

Jill shouted urgently as she fired the rapid-fire grenade launcher.

Whoosh-! Boom! Whoosh-! Boom!

Grrroooogh!!!

The powerful explosions of the grenade launcher tore through William’s flesh one after another.

No matter how strong the G-Virus’s regeneration was, he couldn’t easily approach while the explosions continued.

During that time, the group quickly moved toward the iron door they had unlocked with the chess plugs.

"Damn, who closed the iron door!"

Bang, bang, bang!

"Open it right now!!"

But the door was already closed, and the group urgently pounded on it and shouted for it to open.

Then a voice came through the speaker.

—"I didn’t want to do this, but you need to disappear here by my husband’s hand."

At that, Leon, seemingly deciding there was no other way, aimed his grenade launcher and began providing cover for Jill.

Marvin also added firepower, spraying flames from the flamethrower to burn William.

Whoosh!!!

William, in agony, swung his massive right hand and started trashing the surrounding area.

Kyaaaaagh!!!

Crash!! Boom!! Crash!!

As William rampaged wildly, the cramped space quickly turned into chaos.

With no room to maneuver, the situation was quite dangerous for us.

At that moment, Ada quickly used the EMF Visualizer to hack open the thick iron door leading to the waste disposal room and gestured for us to come.

"Everyone, this way!"

At that, the group quickly rushed into the waste disposal room.

I, Leon, Jill, and Marvin stayed behind to hold off William and slowly retreated, entering the room one by one.

"Everyone’s in! Now close it!"

Once everyone was inside the waste disposal room, Leon signaled to Ada.

She quickly hacked the iron door and began to close it.

Kyaaaaaaagh!!

Squeak—!!

As the iron door began to close, William desperately rushed forward and grabbed it with both hands.

But just then, Marvin unleashed a torrent of flames from the flamethrower, and William’s body was instantly engulfed.

Screaming in agony, William finally let go of the door, and the thick iron door slammed shut with a loud bang.

Clang!!!

"Hah... this is insane. What was that monster, and who closed the door?"

Jill voiced her confusion, and Ada explained.

"I don’t know why he changed like that, but I think it’s William Birkin. And the person who closed the door is Annette Birkin. Since she said ’husband,’ it’s definitely her."

At that, Sherry looked like she was about to cry.

"Daddy... Mommy..."

Claire hugged Sherry and patted her back to comfort her.

We first looked around the waste disposal room.

As expected, it was littered with all kinds of trash, and the smell was as foul as the sewer.

Above, we could see the glass window of the projector room where we had solved the chess puzzle, and a railed pathway.

But there was a problem.

"We could go out through the railing above, but it’s too high. It’ll be hard to climb up."

Ada said, and I asked.

"How much do you weigh?"

At that, Ada frowned, clearly not pleased about being asked her weight.

"Why do you want to know?"

"See that gap in the middle? I think I can reach that far. From there, I can help push you up."

"Wouldn’t it be better to do that with your girlfriend?"

"I know Jill works out a lot and is pretty heavy. That’s why."

"Ah..."

At that, Ada immediately understood, and Jill frowned and smacked the back of my head.

"Hey!"

Thump!

"Ugh..."

Ada chuckled at the sight and said.

"I’m 49 kg. Can you do it?"

"Yeah, I think so."

After saying that, I handed my backpack and heavy weapons to Leon and Marvin for a moment, then stepped on some piled-up trash, jumped, kicked off the wall, and grabbed the long vertical gap in the middle of the waste disposal room wall with one hand.

Grip!

"Wow, that’s possible..."

The group was amazed at how high I had climbed, and Sherry even clapped.

"We should get ready too."

Leon leaned against the wall directly below me, cupped his hands together to make a foothold for Ada.

Ada stepped on Leon’s hands and shoulders, grabbed my leg, pulled herself up, and grabbed my hand.

I used my arm strength to lift Ada up, and she was finally able to get on my shoulders.

"Prince, you’re pretty strong. Honestly, I didn’t think it would work... but there’s still a hurdle. I have to jump up to that railing in one go. Hold on for a moment."

"Got it. I’ll hold as long as I can."

While I gripped the gap with both hands, Ada used the gap as a support to jump and managed to grab the railing.

At the same time, I pretended to lose my strength and dropped to the ground, landing on my feet.

"Phew... there’s no way I could have done that with Jill’s weight..."

As I dusted off my hands and said that, Jill frowned again and kicked my rear.

Smack!!!

"Oof!"

"You really need a beating!"

The others couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight.

Ada easily climbed over the railing, picked the lock, and went inside.

A moment later, she returned dragging a fire hose and lowered it down.

"Grab this and climb up!"

Following Ada’s instructions, we grabbed the fire hose one by one and started climbing up.

The waste disposal room walls were heavily rusted, which surprisingly provided good footing, making it easier than expected.

Sherry was still too weak, so I carried her in my arms, secured her with the backpack straps, and climbed up together.

#Note

Hi, everyone, We’ve finally caught up to the latest Chapter of the original release, so future updates will follow the author’s release schedule. The original author usually publishes a new Chapter every 2–3 days.

While waiting for Chapter updates, I also started translating another web novel with a similar power system. However, I think this one is much better because the MC has clear goals and motivations, and his power growth feels much more realistic.
