Chapter 40: Seventy-two Hours of Despair
And just when Chris colluded with the military and was about to make a big move, the IMF agent team led by Ethan in the hive was already in a desperate situation.
In the entire hive, the number of lost is more than five hundred, but the number of zombies released by Ethan before is actually not much, only a few dozen, after all, Ethan only blew up those laboratories that blocked the way, and more zombies are still blocked in other areas by the Red Queen.
And the speed of these zombies is very slow, and the children's shoes that have watched the biochemical series of movies can find that the zombies in the first and second parts of biochemistry are very slow to move, relying on the large number of them.
It is only after the third step that the T-virus mutates deeper and faster to make the zombies faster and faster.
Therefore, dozens of zombies will be very troublesome for Ethan and his party, but they may not be impossible to solve.
But unfortunately, in the laboratory in the experimental area, there was a kennel ......, and compared to those zombies, these zombie dogs were much more threatening.
If it weren't for the fact that Ethan and his party were not ordinary people, it is estimated that someone would have been injured.
After running wildly and closing a door, Ethan and his party temporarily got rid of the group of zombies and came to Restaurant B shown on the hive map.
"Are you sure you made a mistake?" Seeing that in this so-called B restaurant, there are only one sealed freezers, and there is no restaurant appearance at all, Ethan couldn't help frowning.
"I'm sure that's what the map says," Kaplan showed Ethan the digital map in his hand.
"Apparently the Umbrella Corporation is hiding some secrets here," Matt said after a moment's thought.
"So what's in these sealed freezers?" Barton looked at James Schild.
"Don't look at me like that, I know what you're thinking, but I don't know what's in it, I'm just doing what I'm told," James Schid shrugged.
"It's very simple to know, let's open one and take a look." Ethan didn't care, walked over to the controller of a refrigerator, and began to operate, the previous moving, aggressive corpses, had already shocked him too much, and he was now even more eager to know what the Umbrella Company was hiding here.
However, if you don't die, you won't die, and the contents of the freezer are not comparable to those zombies and zombie dogs.
Soon, with Ethan's operation, the green indicator light on the freezer turned red, and with a snort, the freezer was opened. A flesh-and-blood monster with no skin and eyes, sharp claws of the elderly, and a bare brain appeared in everyone's eyes, and it was the creature that can be called an elite monster in the biochemical series, the Licker.
And on the body of this licker, there are many syringes connected to its body, and in these syringes, there was originally a steady stream of tranquilizers, combined with low temperature, to jointly suppress the cell activity of the licker, but as Ethan turned off the freezer, these syringes also stopped being delivered, and this licker is slowly waking up.
"What the hell is this?" Seeing the licker, Ethan stepped forward very distractedly and tossed the opponent's head with the gun in his hand.
Then I saw the creeper suddenly break free of its restraints and pull towards Ethan with one paw.
Although Ethan's reaction was quick, his chest was still scratched, and even a small cut was drawn on his chest.
Seeing Ethan being attacked, Matt immediately shot the licker in the freezer in the head until he emptied a magazine, and the licker stopped moving.
Originally, the licker was not so easy to die, after all, the speed of the licker is very fast, and it is difficult for ordinary people to capture their movements, but now this licker has just woken up, and his reaction is still relatively slow, and the whole body is still in the freezer, there is not enough space, so he was shot in the head by Matt several times in a row and died, after all, the licker does not have a hard shell like an alien.
"Damn, this must be a biological weapon made by the Umbrella Corporation" Ethan, who didn't realize what would happen if he was scratched by a licker, just assumed that he had escaped.
"Are you alright?" The others looked at Ethan and asked.
"I'm fine, thank you" Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
"No, look" At this moment, Alice suddenly reminded her, and everyone followed the sound, but saw that the indicator lights of the freezers jumped from green to red.
"When we meet for the first time, let's give you a small gift first" In the control room of the main engine room after the red, Wesker's hand left the keyboard, and said with a wicked smile, "Now, let's welcome these distinguished guests." ”
"Get out of here" in the B restaurant, seeing the changes in the indicator lights of all the freezers, everyone who had just seen the lickers was green, in fact, if he could, Ethan would very much like to put a bomb on each freezer, but the bomb he brought with him had just been used in the experimental area.
Now they have no choice but to continue deep into the hive.
As for leaving? Don't forget that the way has been blocked by zombies and zombie dogs, and since Ethan didn't get the most crucial things, how could he just leave.
So under his leadership, everyone rushed into the passage at the other end of Restaurant B without hesitation, and as the door was opened between the passage and Restaurant B, as Kaplan's operation was completely closed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because when the door was closed, they had already seen several lickers, still breaking through the freezer, and running out, if they were a little later, they would have to face these terrifying monsters.
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! There was a burst of applause, but it drew the attention of everyone who had just relaxed for a while, and at this time, they realized that there was a person standing at the other end of the passage.
"Who?" Seeing this, Ethan and the others immediately aimed their guns at the figure.
"Captain Wesker? Why are you here" Seeing the other party's appearance clearly, Kaplan couldn't help but be stunned, because the person who appeared was Wesker.
Kaplan and Ryan were puzzled by Wesker's appearance, because Wesker was the head of their UBCS, and not long ago, it was Wesker who gave them the order to shut down the Red Queen's host.
But why did the other party appear inside the hive?
Only James Schild, seeing Wesker's appearance, flashed a hint of joy on his face.
"Your mission has failed, shouldn't I come over and clean up the pieces?" In the face of Kaplan's doubts, Wesker said with a look of course, "And there are so many distinguished guests here, as the host, how can you not come out to welcome them?" By the way, I wonder how you feel about the meeting gift I gave you? ”
"You put those things out there?" Ethan said coldly.
"That's right, like those babies? It's new products from our Umbrella Company, but it doesn't look like they have had time to cause you problems. Wesker smirked.
"No matter what trouble those things may cause us, I can tell you you're in trouble right now," Ethan said angrily.
"Wow, wow, wow, the threat of the famous IMF, I'm so scared" Wesker looked like I was afraid, and then his face turned cold, "Where do you think this is?" CIA headquarters? See who this is? ”
With that, Wesker clapped his hands, and a man walked out of Wesker's side.
"Benji?" Ethan, Matt, and Barton were all stunned when they saw the person who appeared, this person was supposed to be their companion outside the hive,
"Hey, brothers, I'm sorry" Benji said with a sad face, Ethan and the others only found out at this time that Benji was being held hostage, a pistol was held against his temple, and the gun was held by a slender jade hand, looking down this arm, the owner was a short-haired Asian woman in a red evening dress, it was Wesker's number one subordinate, King Ida.
"What do you want?" Seeing his companion being held hostage, Ethan gritted his teeth and asked, Benji was his earliest partner in the team, and he couldn't have wasted his life.
"I don't want to do anything, I just hope you can have a good time with those children outside" As Wesker's words fell, the all-steel gate behind Ethan and the others made a loud noise and began to deform, it was the licker outside, and began to attack the gate.
Wesker's meaning is obvious, that is, to stop Ethan and his party here to face the lickers outside.
"You madman," Ethan said through gritted teeth, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Thanks for the compliment, enjoy," Wesker smirked as he prepared to leave.
"Wait, sir, what should I do?" Seeing Wesker just ready to leave, James Sheder panicked.
"Oh, I'm sorry, James, I saw that I forgot about you" Seeing James speak, Wesker patted his head and said, "But I'm sorry, remember what I said?" Umbrella company, can not raise waste. ”
After speaking, under James's desperate gaze, he left in the direction of the main engine room without looking back.
And with Wesker's departure, King Ida, who was holding Benji hostage, made a byebye mouth gesture towards Ethan and his party, and then kicked Benji in the direction of Ethan and the others, blocking their possible shooting direction, and then with a bang, a gate completely blocked the way of Ethan and his party.
At this time, with a loud bang, the door behind Ethan and the others had been torn out of a big hole, and they could clearly see the ugly figures of the lickers outside the door.
"Damn, Kaplan, Benji, find a way to open the door" Seeing these ugly monsters, about to break down the door, everyone immediately panicked.
"I'm trying, Wesker changed the password settings" Kaplan sweated nervously as he tried to crack the gate's code.
"Then try harder," yelled Spencer, who saw that a licker had reached halfway into his body and was playing soy sauce all the way.
"Kill these guys and buy them time" Ethan opened a backpack full of weapons and distributed the weapons to everyone, originally he didn't give everyone weapons because he was not a new one, but now in this situation, he can't care about anything else, even Barton, who uses a bow and arrow, has replaced it with a gun, his bow and arrow are limited, but it won't last long.
The people who got the guns finally had a little bit of psychological comfort, and at this time, after a wail from the gate, they completed their final mission, and the two lickers took the lead in entering the passage.
In the next second, the gunshots rang out, and countless bullets knocked the two lickers back again and again, and soon they fell to the ground.
But before everyone could relax for a while, two more lickers came in, and behind them, there was a steady stream of lickers.
In the face of the large number of lickers, everyone's ammunition was quickly insufficient, and after the death of five or six lickers, there were finally casualties, and the first to suffer was James Schild, who was forced to the front by everyone intentionally or unintentionally, and was directly slapped to the ground with a paw by a licker who rushed to the front, and even Matt, who was standing behind him, was also scratched on his arm.
As soon as James was knocked down, he was dragged into the crowd by another licker with his tongue around his ankle, and after a few screams, he was silent.
Fortunately, at this time, Kaplan and Benji finally cracked the code of the gate.
However, after entering the gate, everyone scolded MMP again in their hearts.
Because behind this passage gate, there is a control room that leads directly to the main engine room, but between the control room and the main engine room, there is still a passage sealed by two gates, and it is also a well-known laser channel in the biochemical series.
