Chapter 17: The Wreck of a Starship

"Kaplan, how much longer?" Zhang Jie yelled.

"The security level here is the highest I've ever seen...... Three minutes! Help me fight for three more minutes! Kaplan snapped in response.

"Three minutes? I suspect we didn't even have thirty seconds! Zhang Jie held the Desert Eagle in his hand and stood in front of Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan.

At this moment, the survivors of the reincarnation team are only Zheng Zha, Zhang Jie and Zhan Lan, and the assault team is only left with Lei and Kaplan.

As for Alice, due to the more poisonous gas she inhaled, she has not fully recovered her memory at the moment.

And her ex-boyfriend Spence Parks, who has a ghost in his heart, has long since retreated to the safest position in the team.

Chu Cheng remembers that the perfect fusion of Alice and the T-virus is the plot of "Resident Evil 2".

In other words, Alice at this moment is only slightly stronger than ordinary people, and when facing the creeper, she has almost no power to fight back.

The sound of claws scratching at the metal floor was getting closer, and a similar sound could be heard overhead.

Chu Cheng knew that the creeper was not only a bloodthirsty beast, but also a cunning hunter.

These eyeless monsters rely on red-hot imaging to search for their prey, and the darkness around them happens to be their home turf!

As Zhang Jie said, they don't have three minutes at all, not even thirty seconds!

"The blast door must be opened immediately!" An electric light flashed through Chu Cheng's mind. He remembered that when he completed the hidden trial mission, [Look Directly at the Unspeakable], he had obtained a special item called the "Master Key", which might be able to solve his urgent needs.

Chu Cheng thought about it, and the illusory mosaic cube suddenly poured out of his ring, wrapping around his fingertips like surging particles, and finally turned into a half-virtual and half-real key.

With this key in his hand, everything in Chu Cheng's vision immediately changed.

I saw that on the blast door that Kaplan was trying to crack, a virtual keyhole appeared.

No! It's not just on blast doors!

Chu Cheng found that there were similar keyholes on everyone's chests, but compared to the keyholes on the explosion-proof doors, these keyholes were "closed" at the moment.

"Could it be that this key in my hand can't help but open the physical lock, and it can also open the human ...... Closed heart? ”

Chu Cheng had a thought in his heart, but he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he immediately rushed to Kaplan's side with an arrow and directly inserted the key. into the keyhole.

"Sir, what are you ......" Seeing this, Kaplan's anxious face suddenly showed a look of incomprehension. Whether it was the keyhole on the door or the translucent key in Chu Cheng's hand, he couldn't see it.

Chu Cheng ignored Kaplan, the key turned lightly, and the explosion-proof door opened directly from the center.

Chu Cheng took the lead and rushed into the door, and the others followed suit.

Kaplan maneuvered inside the door, and the blast door quickly closed again, keeping creepers and zombies out.

"We're safe!" Kaplan said excitedly, but in the next second, the computer in his hand fell to the ground in shock.

At the same time, everyone else showed similar expressions of horror.

The space inside the door is no longer dark outside the door, and the lighting equipment similar to the everlasting lamp hangs above everyone's heads, reflecting the light in front of them.

In front of the crowd, the metal frame structure that formed the hive came to an abrupt halt, and beyond that, bare rock and dirt.

In the middle of the rocks and dirt, the wreckage of a towering starship just protruded, like a metal hill buried underground.

"Oh my God." Zhang Jie's mouth opened directly into an O-shape, he has experienced several horror movie worlds, but he has never seen such a scene.

Not only him, but Alice, Kaplan and the others also trembled slightly, and everything in front of them was completely beyond their cognition.

At this moment, Chu Cheng was the only one left in the field who was barely calm.

Chu Cheng quickly approached the wreckage of the starship, and he found that what made up the starship was actually a modular metal structure.

These metal structures fit seamlessly into each other and form a massive hull.

"With the level of technology in Resident Evil 1, you will never be able to make something like this." Chu Cheng immediately judged that the wreckage of the starship in front of him was definitely not the creation of the human race in this world.

In addition, Chu Cheng also noticed that on the surface of the wreckage of the starship, an illusory keyhole similar to that on the blast door just now appeared.

Chu Cheng hesitated for a moment when he grabbed the hand of the master key, and did not immediately insert it into the keyhole, but took out the compass from his pocket.

The needle of the compass turned, pointing directly in the direction of the battleship.

Chu Cheng could be sure that the 'Fragment of the Principle of Civilization' he was looking for was inside the wreckage of this starship.

At this moment, the laser projection of the Flame Empress appeared in the field again, and a pair of eyes looked at Chu Cheng coldly.

"Get out of now! This is a hive forbidden, not a place for you to be. The Flame Empress's voice was still cold, with a substantial killing intent.

"We have no choice, and you're chasing us all the way to force us here."

Chu Cheng didn't look at the Flame Empress, but looked at the battleship in front of him with interest.

"I've always had a question, how can it be possible to create a strong artificial intelligence like you with the technology of humans in this world. Now I understand that your main program should originate from this battleship, am I right? “

"Get out of now! This is a hive forbidden, not a place for you! The Flame Empress repeated her warning, but her face showed a look of human surprise.

"Sure enough!" The Flame Empress's reaction made Chu Cheng's heart happy.

As he expected, the Flame Empress, as a strong artificial intelligence, certainly possessed great computing power; But correspondingly, her perceptual thinking is very weak, to put it bluntly, her IQ is very high, but her EQ is very low, so she doesn't know how to hide her emotions.

"So, you're so desperate to kill us, are you really just afraid that we're going to spread the T-virus? Or are you afraid that after you are shut down, this secret buried deep in the ground...... Out of your control? Chu Cheng continued to attack his heart.

"Get out of now! This is a hive forbidden place, not a place for you to come!! The Flame Empress continued to repeat her previous warning, but her tone this time carried a hint of panic as if someone had pierced her heart.

Chu Cheng smiled even more in his heart, if the Flame Empress was just a normal procedure, then it would naturally not be able to have emotional feedback on Chu Cheng's words.

However, the Flame Empress has evolved into a strong artificial intelligence, and with its perceptual thinking and self-awareness, it will naturally subconsciously have some emotional fluctuations.

For a reborn person like Chu Cheng (lyb), the Flame Empress's emotional intelligence is as naïve as a child.
