Chapter 13: Kindness from Jonathan
In the clean and pure white corridor, Xu Cheng looked at the guard in front of him who was silent, and couldn't help but secretly say bad.
Isn't this exactly like the early days when the spawn point was set in the enemy cave in the game!? Xu Cheng's face was a little pale.
Gao Feng's face was also ugly, this time he was careless... And Xiahou Min also had a very bad complexion, but there was a bit of cunning charm in his eyes from time to time. Xiahou Min walked at the back, and no one noticed him.
What should I do now? Xu Cheng was a little panicked in his heart, he knew the plot of Resident Evil, because he liked movies with this kind of theme, he watched this movie a lot of times.
Protect. Protect. The private armies of the umbrella company are all elite weapons, and killing people is not a difficult task for them to overcome. Now that they are looking at it like this, even Xu Cheng can't guarantee that he can dodge the bullet quickly.
The three of them had different thoughts on the way, but within a few minutes, the team was forced to stop. Xu Cheng saw a man in a suit with an Asian face, with a badge on his chest, all in English.
Speaking of which, there is a place that makes Xu Cheng feel strange, he has always been half-aware of English before, but since he arrived in the world of trials, he has found that his English is surprisingly good, not only can he understand it, but he can also speak it fluently. Xu Cheng didn't ask about this, but he probably guessed that this was the ability given by the source, perhaps so that they could basically carry out routine activities in this world, such as communication and mobility.
To get back to the point, the man in the suit obviously had no low status, and the leading black captain stood in place, looking at the person blocking the road, but he didn't dare to make any extra moves.
The man in the suit with an Asian face, his left hand caressing the jade ring on his right hand, stood in place, looking coldly at the black captain.
"Mr. Ed, we are escorting these illegal entrants to the interrogation room for interrogation at the request of Director Kourd, and the interrogator is personally acting as the interrogator this time, so please allow us to complete the mission." The black captain was respectful, but Ed felt contempt in his dodgy eyes.
As Jonathan's henchman, Ed was asked by one of the high-level officials to accompany Jonathan into the hive base for training, but he actually wanted to suppress Kord, manage the base, and strengthen the protection. Protect. Control of the umbrella company.
'It's all to blame on this idiot!' Ed complained to Jonathan in his heart, when he first arrived, the momentum was good, and Cord didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and now even one of Koude's lowly lackeys dares to express his disdain for him in a subtle way.
Thinking of this, Ed's heart suddenly fired. Ed really wanted to slap this slut directly, but now that the time is not waiting, his slap is certainly refreshing, but the consequences that follow are absolutely unacceptable to him. Here, Kode's influence is not at all comparable to Jonathan's.
"Andrey, leave the people behind, you can take your men and go." Ed said coldly.
It wasn't until here that Xu Cheng knew that this black captain was called Andre.
Andre frowned slightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Sir, I am also acting on orders, please don't deliberately embarrass us." β
"I said, leave people behind, these people will be more properly guarded and interrogated, this is what my boss said, I don't want to repeat it again!" Ed looked at Andre coldly, Andre may dare to express disdain, but for Ed, he doesn't dare to be too presumptuous, it is by him Jonathan that can support in this place, otherwise he would have been kicked out of the base by Kod a long time ago.
In this regard, it can be seen that Ed's means and influence should not be underestimated.
Andrei was silent for a moment, lowering his head slightly. "As you wish, Mr. Ed, I just want you to explain the situation to Director Kord." Andre forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and after finishing speaking, he walked straight back with someone.
"You don't have to worry about that." As soon as Eddard's words fell, AndrΓ© quickly left.
After Andre left, Ed's face changed slightly, and he looked a little gloomy in Xu Cheng's eyes, but he soon returned to normal.
"Hello guys, I'm Ed", Ed smiled slightly, "I'm the director of the secrecy department of the hive base, and there is a big man who wants to talk to you about your sudden appearance." β
Big shot? Xu Cheng had some doubts in his heart, what big man would want to talk to them?
"Everyone, please follow me, he wants to see you now." Ed beckoned the three of them to hurry up.
The three of them, who were still a little stunned, hurriedly followed after hearing Ed's urging.
After about ten minutes, Ed led the three of them to a room that was richly decorated with a design style that was strong in the style of European medieval aristocracy.
The thick velvet carpet was as red as blood, as if it had been colored with blood.
All the windows were covered tightly by heavy, expensive curtains. As soon as Xu Cheng entered the door, the first thing he saw was a huge table, which was placed in a very ordinary place, and there was nothing worth noting.
"Hello, gentlemen, I hope my friend Mr. Ed didn't bother you when he brought you here." An unfamiliar voice rang out, "Introduce yourself, I'm Jonathan, the Hive Base's top security director. β
Seeing the doubt in Xu Cheng's eyes, the smile on Jonathan's face became even stronger.
"You can probably already guess that if you had been captured by that big black guy named Andre, you wouldn't have ended up talking to the top of this base on an expensive velvet carpet like you are now." Jonathan said to himself, picking up the swan-neck decanter on the table and slowly pouring the wine into the goblet.
Jonathan took a sip of red wine and reveled in his words, "What a beautiful red wine, you think it's a well-known red wine?" Oh no, no, no, let me tell you the truth, this is my mother's own wine, and it tastes as sweet to anyone as any other fine wine, and my mother calls this wine a poor genius, and for me, this wine suits my taste buds more than any other wine. β
Xu Cheng was a little confused, what does this Jonathan want to do? But Xu Cheng didn't dare to say anything, and being able to stop them specifically showed that this Jonathan's man did have a certain strength and must have something to ask them for! All he could do now was listen to him and read between the lines to find useful information.
Although there are no terrifying and powerful Zerg soldiers or terrible plasma bombs in this place, the level of danger is far higher than in the Starfleet world.
In this base, not to mention the zombies, T-viruses, and terrifying creepers' deadly laser tunnels, those well-trained private armed forces alone are enough for three people to drink a pot. Xu Cheng faintly felt that the person in front of him might be the key person who allowed them to escape from this base safely.
"Let me be clear, the person who is going to interrogate you is Kord, and you probably already know. Kord is the top administrator here, and in this base, the most powerful people are Kord and me. Jonathan held the red wine, but his mouth couldn't stop for a moment, "The original plan was to torture you about how you infiltrated here and your intentions, and then keep you secret. Dispose of it. β
However, Xu Cheng was not too surprised by this, and until now he was able to stand here intact to show that there was still room for things to turn around.
"Mr. Jonathan, with all due respect, if you can help the three of us leave this base smoothly, we are willing to cooperate with you to do something." Xu Cheng interrupted Jonathan's words.
Jonathan looked a little surprised, such a straightforward dialogue made him feel a little forcibly choked when he had made up a whole set of words.
"Hahaha, it's always extra pleasant to talk to smart people! Mr. Xu Cheng, I can indeed help you get out of this base alive, of course, your companions can do it, but you have to promise me one thing, as long as it is done, you will have freedom. Jonathan smiled confidently.
"I don't think we have a reason to say no, we just hope you can keep your promise." Gao Feng, who had been quiet, spoke.
Jonathan looked a little surprised and said: "Judging from the information, I thought Mr. Xu Cheng was the leader, may I ask which of the three of you has enough decision-making power?" β
"I'm the captain and I can take charge." Gao Feng said lightly on the side.
