Chapter 44: Inability to Communicate

Not surprisingly, the red queen didn't bother with Ethan at all.

Originally, according to the impression of the previous parts, this artificial intelligence should have given birth to a self-conscious existence, but as soon as the final chapter of the sixth part came out, it seemed that this was a very obedient artificial intelligence, and everything was doing things according to the already set procedures, and even that crazy energy was just an illusion.

This makes Ethan particularly difficult to do – if you're just following a pre-designed program, you can't communicate at all.

"Red queen, I know you heard it, so don't continue to play dead, come out and talk...... Otherwise, they'll shut you down completely. ”

Everyone had already entered the room outside the laser tunnel, and James had wanted Kaplan to invade the Red Queen's program and open the passage to the main room.

But after seeing what Ethan had done, he reached out and stopped Kaplan, ready to see what was going on.

Ethan was still silent when he saw the red, so he had to say to Kaplan on the side: "Since the red queen refuses to come out to negotiate, then let's change someone to communicate." Then he asked, "Kaplan, can you hack into all of the Hive's control programs?" and let's go down to the lower levels and talk to the real person in charge." ”

"Lower?"

"The real person in charge?"

The amount of information in this passage was a bit large, and everyone was stunned, only Kaplan asked with a confused expression: "Aren't we already at the bottom?"

Ethan pouted, "It's more complicated than you guess, and there's more to the hive than you think." ”

He stomped his feet and made a dull sound: "The position we are standing in now is actually a lift, and I need you to hack into the hive's control program and send us to the lower level." ”

Kaplan understood what Ethan meant, first turned his head to look at the captain next to him, and saw James nodding at himself, so he agreed: "Okay, I can give it a try, if there is really this part of the program, then it shouldn't be difficult to open this elevator." ”

It's just that before Kaplan could make any moves, an image of a little girl projected through a hidden device suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Who are you? I've searched almost every database I can look up and I can't find your personal information. ”

Ethan was not surprised at all by the sudden appearance of the Red Queen, and his previous words were to force the Red Queen to show up. Regardless of whether the Red Queen was truly self-aware or strictly following the order, there was no way she would let Ethan and them enter the lowest area.

It hides Ambrera's greatest secret, as well as the essence of all of Ambrera's higher-ups.

To be honest, when he first watched the movie, he was scorched by this god-like twist and turn of the plot, and now he is very glad that this plot was designed, otherwise he really had no way to force the red queen out, so he could only go into the main engine room and pull out the motherboard and then ask Kaplan to help hack into the elevator control program.

"That's not the most important thing, since you're willing to come out, explain to these people what's going on in the hive. ”

The Red Queen ignored Ethan because he didn't have the authority to order the Red Queen. Ethan just shrugged his shoulders and called Alice out - the absolute protagonist of this series, this time like the tourists who came to visit, there was no sense of presence in the whole process, if it wasn't for Ethan suddenly calling her, I'm afraid everyone would have forgotten that this was the security guard of Ambrera.

"You have the identity of Ambrella's company, so you can have the Red Queen answer the questions you want to know. ”

Ethan's words made the confused Alice understand, and what happened then was still similar to the original plot, plus the projection was used to demonstrate, everyone understood what was being studied in the hive, and what happened at the same time.

"So you can't shut me down, that would release all the infected who I'm locked up. ”

The Red Queen used this sentence as a final summary, she already knew the purpose of the mercenaries' coming, and was ready to kill them all.

Unexpectedly, Ethan suddenly joined in, causing her plan to completely fail before it could be implemented - she was now calculating, did Ethan deliberately sabotage her plan, or was it all accidental?

"I'm sorry, this is our mission, we must shut you down, but for the sake of safety, maybe we can think of a proper solution. ”

Ethan had already thought about this, so as soon as James finished speaking, he continued: "The solution is very simple, the red queen will cooperate with us to release those temporarily trapped zombies little by little, and then we will be responsible for completely killing them." ”

The way to kill zombies has already been talked about by the Red Queen, simple and straightforward: headshots.

The researchers in the hive are only a few hundred people who have died, which seems to be a lot, but if the next room is opened one by one with the cooperation of the red queen, it is not much more troublesome than target training for the mercenaries who have rich combat experience and have long understood the specific situation.

The most terrifying thing about zombies is that people don't know about them, and the number of horrors and contagion, contagiousness aside, even if an unlucky egg is bitten, Ethan still has antivenom in his hand.

The number of horrors can also rely on the help of the red queen, open a room at a time and release two or three of them, and a few gather more, such as the situation in the elevator, you can also open the distance first to ensure safety.

Therefore, it is not difficult to clean up these zombies, the key is that the red queen is willing to cooperate.

"Wait, I have another question...... How did the virus leak?"

Alice thought of another aspect, if there was a continuous source of leakage, should they eliminate this hidden danger first?

Spence had already sneaked to the periphery of the crowd at this time, and when he heard Alice's inquiry, he immediately turned around and ran - his memory had recovered from the stimulation of those images when he had played the virus test before, and he had long realized that the situation was extremely unfavorable for him, and he had been thinking about finding an opportunity to run away.

It's a pity that Ethan has been secretly staring at this guy, and he didn't take two steps before he felt something hit on the back of his knee, followed by a limp under his feet, and his face hit the ground firmly.

The sudden incident caught everyone off guard, but no one blamed Ethan, and even the two mercenaries closest to Spence nodded at Ethan to thank him, and then dragged Spence back who fell to the ground and wailed - an arrow in the back of the knee was nothing, but the fall directly knocked out his front teeth, and his bloody face looked a little miserable.

It's just that after seeing the things he did played by the Red Queen, no one sympathized with what happened to him, and everyone wished that he was more miserable.

"So, it's all this guy's fault?"

The truth has been revealed, and the real culprit has been caught, as if the matter is over?Ethan only gave a sneer, and then poured a basin of cold water: "The truth? This is just the truth that Ambrera wants you to see......"

After a pause, it seemed inappropriate to say so.

"No, these so-called truths are not even prepared for you, and in Ambrera's plan, you are all a bunch of dead people. ”

The red queen turned her gaze to Ethan again: "Who are you, you seem to know a lot." ”

"Of course, I know more than you think. For example, you were trying to kill us all with the laser emitter in the console room tunnel. ”

Everyone once again focused on this virtual projection, and after seeing the red queen, not only did not deny it, but asked Ethan how he knew, and once again proposed to turn off the red queen directly, this artificial intelligence is really untrustworthy for everyone.

"If you shut her down, not to mention the zombies that the researchers have turned into, how are you going to destroy the monsters in restaurant B?"

Captain James was made lose his temper by Ethan's rhetorical question, and the specific data of those monsters were also released by the Red Queen just now, although that thing is not impossible to kill, but it is too dangerous, and he doesn't want all his team members to die here.

"We should get rid of those monsters first. ”

Restaurant B is not far away, and if the Red Queen suddenly releases those monsters, they may all be wiped out by surprise.

"After the Red, you should have a way to kill the Frozen Licker directly, right?"

The red queen still ignored Ethan, but Alice ordered: "Answer his question!"

"Yes, I can. The Red Queen gave an answer very quickly, and what made Ethan care about it in this process was the Red Queen's attitude towards Alice: "It seems that in the lowest level of the Red Queen's program, there is a restriction on her obeying Alice's orders. ”

"Red Queen, kill all lickers!"

What confirmed Ethan's guess was Alice's next behavior, and almost the moment Alice made her request, the red queen did so.

"Alice, let the Red Queen send us to the lower levels. ”

At this time, even the others noticed that something was wrong, although Alice was a staff member of Ambrera, she was just a guard in charge of the security of the hive gate, maybe a security manager at best, but a doorman at worst.

Why does the artificial intelligence, which is the center of the hive, follow Alice's orders?

Thinking back to what Ethan said earlier, 'That's just the ......truth that Ambrera wants you to know,' things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

James now faces a choice. Do you continue to follow your own work ethic, complete your tasks, and leave nothing else to worry about?

Or continue to explore the truth?

While he was still hesitating, Ethan had already dropped an even bigger bomb: "If you can't make a decision, let Alice 'herself' talk to me." ”

It's a pity that this time the red queen not only did not respond to Alice's order, but even disappeared directly. At the same time, except for the door to the main engine room, which was still tightly closed, the door to the outside, which had been well closed, suddenly opened by itself.

Everyone was a little stunned, only Ethan understood in an instant.

"Be careful, the Red Queen has released all the zombies. ”
