Chapter 14: The Flame Empress of Terror

When recalling the plot of "Resident Evil 1", Chu Cheng always had a question in his heart.

That is, compared to the technology of this world, the artificial intelligence Flame Empress who controls the hive seems to be a little too powerful!

In the original plot, the Flame Empress can learn to think, build traps (deliberately wait for the assault team to enter the laser tunnel before locking the door, and then activate the laser), and even know how to make deals with the protagonist and others.

These details couldn't help but make Chu Cheng wonder if the Flame Empress had broken away from the category of weak artificial intelligence and evolved into the realm of strong industrial intelligence, becoming an existence with independent self-awareness.

After the crisis, the various reactions of the umbrella company also confirmed Chu Cheng's conjecture from the side.

The Umbrella Corporation didn't know what was going on underground, they only knew that the Flame Empress had suddenly killed everyone and sealed the hive.

And the Flame Empress, as the main control program of the hive, did not report the virus leak to the umbrella company, but chose to cut it first and then play it.

The details of this are a little intriguing.

Chu Cheng even suspected that the Flame Empress's system was not connected to the external network at all, and it only controlled the local area network within the hive.

In this way, the Flame Empress could naturally be firmly sealed inside the hive, so that it could not pass through the data port and spread its tentacles to the outside world.

However, the corresponding trade-off is that the Umbrella Corporation cannot obtain information directly from the Flame Empress, and can only monitor the hive through other inefficient means.

"But the question is, why should the Umbrella Corporation be so wary of the Flame Empress? Do they think...... Keeping the Flame Empress inside the hive is more important than the hive itself? ā€œ

Just as Chu Cheng was thinking, a low sound of metal dragging suddenly came from the depths of the hall.

Chu Cheng saw a man in a research coat walking out of the corner dragging a fire axe, and at the same time, he was followed by several people who were swaying between the walks.

"Stop, or I'll shoot." Seeing this, Kaplan immediately opened the bolt and yelled.

Chu Cheng knew that it was impossible for these people to stand, they had already been infected by the T virus and turned into zombies.

Soon, the man dragging the fire axe approached with strange steps.

Only then did the assault team see that one of the man's feet had been twisted to ninety degrees, but he was still walking slowly as if he didn't feel pain.

And the "people" who staggered behind him were even more exaggerated, some of their bodies were rotten, and some of their limbs were mutilated.

There was even a "human" with only half of his head left, and the rotten bones and gray brains were directly exposed, which almost made everyone in the reincarnation team vomit.

"Fire!" At the critical moment, it was James who gave the order immediately, and the dazzling fiery snake poured directly towards those "people".

The zombies at the front were immediately knocked down, but even after being shot several times, these zombies would still stagger to their feet.

"Shoot them in the head!" At this time, Zhang Jie didn't care if his words would change the plot, the desert eagle in his hand fired again and again, and the heads of the zombies that were shot suddenly exploded one after another like watermelons.

Zhang Jie's heart was extremely shocked at this moment!

According to the original plot of "Resident Evil 1", these zombies infected with the T virus were originally locked up in various laboratories by the Flame Empress.

The reason why it was released was because the assault team broke into the main control room of the Flame Empress and shut down the Flame Queen's main console, which caused the zombies sealed in the laboratory by the Flame Empress to swarm out.

But at this moment, they have not yet reached the main control room of the Flame Empress, how were these zombies released?

At this moment, Chu Cheng has the same doubts as Zhang Jie.

But the difference is that Chu Cheng thinks more than Zhang Jie.

It stands to reason that zombies can't be released at this point in time, unless another couple turns off the Flame Empress before they do.

But this is obviously impossible!

When all possibilities are ruled out, the remaining one, no matter how incredible, is the truth.

The Flame Empress had an insight into the purpose of the assault team's entry into the underground, and in order not to be shut down, it ...... Unleash these zombies on your own initiative!

At this moment, everyone has been forced into a small area by the zombies surging from all directions, and seeing that this continues, everyone will be engulfed by zombies.

"Kaplan, Rei, you go find your way. JĀ· D, guarding the prisoners, the others followed me. ā€

Captain James ordered loudly, and then threw two pistols and two magazines to Zheng Qi and the others.

"I may not be able to take care of you for a while, there are a total of fifteen bullets in one magazine, and I will hit them on the head as Zhang Jie said."

James opened fire as he spoke, but before he could finish speaking, a zombie suddenly broke through the barrage and pounced on him.

Chu Cheng saw the petal-shaped mouthparts, stretched out from the zombie's mouth, and directly wrapped James's face in the stretch, followed by a series of sounds of biting flesh and blood.

By the time the zombie had been shot to death, nearly three-fifths of James's entire face had been eaten......

As soon as James died, the assault team was in turmoil. Seeing that the development of the plot was completely out of control, even Zhang Jie's actions were a little flustered.

At this time, everyone had been gradually forced into the corner of the hall by the zombies, and the only exit behind them was a closed elevator door.

Kaplan immediately tried to crack the password of the elevator control end with a computer, but anyone who has watched "Resident Evil 1" knows that the elevator behind that door is actually full of zombies, and once it is opened, it will be immediately pulled into it by zombies and eaten up.

But at this moment, everyone has no other choice but to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

No one noticed that as early as when James was attacked, Chu Cheng had already opened the handcuffs with a paperclip hidden in his cuff.

The two pistols on James's corpse were hidden in his sleeves without him knowingly.

At this moment, JĀ· D had already entered the code as Kaplan had instructed, and the elevator door suddenly opened from the center.

Chu Cheng's heartstrings immediately tightened, and Zhang Jie and others were also nervous, they were ready to meet the tide of corpses in the elevator, just hoping to be able to fight their way out.

Unexpectedly, to everyone's expectations, the elevator was empty.

"Quick, get into the elevator." Zhang Jie was overjoyed and hurriedly yelled at everyone.

However, before he could say a word, a red laser beam suddenly shot out from the top of the elevator.

Immediately after, the hologram of the Flame Empress appeared in the elevator.
