Everyone worked together to pry open the door of the elevator, and what appeared in front of them was a huge space like an underground air-raid shelter.

"I can't imagine that there is such a large underground hole under the hive, which is completely absent on the map." Kaplan muttered.

Not only him, but Alice's ex-boyfriend Spence Parks is also shocked at the moment.

Perhaps because of the lack of inhalation of toxic gas, Spence Parks has gradually recovered his memory at this moment, and naturally remembers that he is the culprit of the T-virus leak.

Although he obtained the structure and security code of the hive through Alice, he had never heard of this space at the bottom of the hive.

Thinking of this, Spence Parks' eyes suddenly became playful.

Spence Parks didn't know that the subtle changes in his expression at the moment were all seen by Chu Cheng.

Since there was no light, the space in front of them was dark, and everyone couldn't see the scene inside.

At this moment, the 3D laser image of the Flame Empress once again appeared in the darkness ahead.

"Don't go any further, you don't know ...... What are you about to face! The Flame Empress's voice became a little sharper.

As it spoke, the sound of claws scratching frantically at metal suddenly came from above the elevator.

"It's a creeper!" Chu Cheng spoke. In his perception, there were multiple creepers digging frantically above the elevator, and they would soon break into the place.

"Let's move on, or we'll die if we stay here!" Zhang Jie looked at Chu Cheng.

Chu Cheng nodded, and the group used tactical flashlights to illuminate, ignoring the threat of the Flame Empress, and continued to march towards the depths of the underground space.

At this moment, with a loud sound of metal tearing, the entire roof of the elevator was directly shattered into iron filings.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of zombies fell from the top of the elevator like dumplings.

They stacked, rolled, and crawled, and began to approach in the direction of the crowd.

"Wasn't the creeper the first to come down?" Chu Cheng's pupils contracted slightly.

Supposedly, the creeper dug open the metal plate on the top floor of the elevator, and should have rushed in as soon as possible under the trend of hunger and ferocity.

But it wasn't the creepers who broke in first, which makes a lot of sense.

"The Flame Empress...... Do you want to use these brainless and unintelligent zombies to consume the assault team's ammunition inventory, and then let the creepers down to kill them with one blow? Chu Cheng's mind was like electricity, and he immediately determined two points in his heart.

First, the Flame Empress has the means to control the creepers, and it is obvious that these brainless and intelligent zombies in front of her have been driven down by the creepers.

Second, the Flame Empress...... A strong AI with self-awareness indeed!

The Flame Empress could control the creepers, and Chu Cheng was not surprised.

After all, creepers are biological weapons cultivated by beehives, and it is normal to have a "back door" that can be controlled.

What really surprised Chu Cheng was that the Flame Empress was really a strong artificial intelligence.

The so-called strong artificial intelligence refers to artificial intelligence that has the ability to perceive, think and learn like humans.

Such artificial intelligence is believed to have sentience, has its own values and worldview system, has the ability to truly reason and solve problems, and can think independently about problems and formulate the best solution to solve them.

Chu Cheng didn't think that with the technology of the Resident Evil world, it was possible to create a truly strong artificial intelligence. Looking at it this way, the origin of the Flame Empress is likely to have a hidden secret behind it.

Thinking of this, a touch of cunning suddenly flashed in Chu Cheng's eyes.

Self-aware AI is not easy to deal with. But from a dialectical point of view, having self-consciousness is also equivalent to having human nature, which is both an advantage and a fatal weakness.

The crowd marched in the dark, but they soon discovered that a thick metal wall was blocking their path.

At this moment, the zombie group is getting closer and closer to everyone. Like ghosts hovering in the shadows, these zombies slowly close in the darkness, constantly encroaching on the space where everyone can move.

After all, the lighting range of the tactical flashlight is limited, and although the assault team issued guns to everyone, there are still people who are pounced on by the zombies, and then directly pulled into the corpses and turned into food in the mouths of the zombies.

Zheng Zhe's forehead was already soaked in cold sweat at the moment.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but he feels that the speed and agility of these zombies seem to be more than ten percent stronger than just now.

The number of zombies that can protrude petal-like mouthparts from their mouths is also increasing significantly.

At this moment, a purple rotten arm suddenly stretched out from the darkness on Zheng Zhe's side.

Zheng Zha was horrified and hurriedly shot and broke the arm, but more zombies rushed towards him from the darkness.

"Everyone be careful!" Just then, Kaplan suddenly let out a loud roar and raised his gun to shoot a flare above his head.

The trance of the fire instantly pierced the darkness, and Zheng Zhe saw that his position had been dispersed with the large army at some point.

At this moment, around him, there were dozens of zombies densely packed.

These zombies have faintly surrounded him in the center.

Zheng Zha can imagine that in a few seconds, he will turn into rotten meat rolling in the mouth of a zombie.

"Are you going to die here? No! Never! A thunderbolt exploded in Zheng Zha's mind, and between life and death, Zheng Zha's eyes suddenly became blank.

The next moment, Zheng Zha's body suddenly jumped up and stepped on the head of a zombie, the zombie's head suddenly exploded from the center, and Zheng Zha's body was raised again with the help of force, and the whole person smashed into the area where the large army was located.

"You just ...... Unlocked the 'gene lock'!? Zhang Jie and Zhan Lan worked together to drag Zheng Zha into the crowd, and Zhang Jie said in an incredulous tone while attacking the zombies around him.

"What is a 'gene lock'?" Zheng Zha asked rhetorically.

However, before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and the whole person also convulsed violently.

Chu Cheng knew that Zheng Zhe was suffering the side effects of opening the gene lock. This kind of unspeakable pain was very familiar to Chu Cheng, because what he used before was a force similar to a genetic lock.

Chu Cheng called that kind of power - zone!

The opening method of the zone originates from Huaya Heavy Industries, which requires extreme physical stimulation and willpower to open, and the body will suffer extremely painful backlash after opening.

However, due to the experience of opening the zone in two lifetimes, Chu Cheng was very accustomed to the pain of this kind of backlash, so much so that after opening the zone and bursting the elevator cable, he didn't even show a painful look.

If you compare it with the characters in Infinite Terror, Chu Cheng's situation is very similar to Zhao Yingkong, who was born in a family of assassins in the Zhongzhou team.

"Hold on, everybody!" Kaplan is currently using his laptop to crack the blast-proof code door on the metal wall. As a computer expert at Umbrella Company, his computer skills are still very good.

At this moment, several malicious roars suddenly came from the direction of the elevator, followed by the sound of sharp claws slicing through metal.

Creepers, here's the scene!
