Chapter 5: Into the Hive

Matthew was slapped and immediately turned around and almost pointed a gun at Li Qi, but he saw that Li Qi and the people behind him were looking at him with inquiring eyes.

"That...... Let's talk about it in detail, I can't remember it clearly, maybe you can tell me more about what I can remember, I think of something more maybe it will help you too. ”

Li Qi looked directly at Matthew with a determined gaze.

"We all work for the Umbrella Company, the building above us is the entrance to the hive, you are the security guards guarding the entrance, and we are the task force to deal with emergencies." Matthew spoke calmly.

"What is a hive?" Spence looked at Matthew and asked.

"Kaplan." Matthew looked at Kaplan.

Technologist Kaplan nodded understandingly, took out a microcomputer to enter instructions, and then turned the display to everyone.

"Raccoon City, the nearest city center, enter the train through the villa above, the train will take us to the hive, the hive is located on the street of Raccoon City about 2,200 feet 670 meters underground, the hive is one of the highly classified research institutes owned by the umbrella company, there are more than 500 technicians, scientists and support personnel in the hive, their research is classified, so they also live in the hive, the map hotspot shows where we are now." Matthew explains along with the illustration on the display.

"Why can't I even remember this?" After reading the display, Sibans felt that these were not simple, but he couldn't think of anything.

"The hive has its own defense mechanism, all controlled by intelligence, if a sudden or special situation occurs, intelligence will activate the defense mechanism and emit nerve gas, the effect of poison gas makes the inhaler last four hours to be completely unconscious, and poison gas also has a variety of side effects, including severe amnesia." Matthew looked at Sibans and thought of Li Qi.

"How long?" Sibans knew about the side effects of amnesia and wanted to know how long the side effects lasted.

"It varies from person to person, an hour, a day, a week, he seems to remember a lot." Matthew looked at Li Qi.

"Hehe, it varies from person to person, it varies from person to person." Li Qi smiled awkwardly and accepted everyone's different eyes.

"So there's an attack here?" Matt is the one who cares most about the situation here outside of the task force.

"I'm afraid it's more complicated than that." Matthew couldn't be sure, but Matthew also sensed that the trip wasn't easy.

"Sir, the door is open." Rei tells Matthew that it's time to enter the hive.

"That...... Matthew, should this cop be let go? Li Qi gestured to Matthew who was tied behind his back.

"He's a destabilizing factor." Matthew had always answered as calmly as a dead man's face.

"I don't think he's a threat, if you can kill him directly, it's even more dangerous to take him with you." Li Qi used the pros and cons analysis to convince Matthew.

"Whatever you want." Matthew looked at Matt and then at Li Qi, left the words and turned to leave.

"Thank you, Li Qi." Matt looked at Li Qi who came over and thanked him.

"Thank you no need, acting in this place, one more friend is better than one more enemy, if there is danger, we have to take care of each other!" Li Qi smiled and untied Matt.

"Absolutely." Matt moved his untied hands and smiled at Li Qi, touched by the righteous behavior of this Asian from the East.

"Let's go, Alice, what are you thinking?" Li Qi saw that Alice was still stunned.

"Nothing, just wanted to learn more about it." Alice followed.

"Do you think of something?" Li Qi looked at Alice, she has successfully integrated into the plot, I don't know if there will be any butterfly effect, well, I hope it will develop in a better way. The first time he went on a rampage, Li Qi said that it was impossible not to be afraid.

"Nope." Alice shook her head.

"Then think as hard as you can! Amnesia is not a pleasant thing, and you still have to give yourself more protection when you come to this place. Li Qi looked at Matthew and they had entered the entrance of the elevator that Jedi had activated, and expressed his concern for Alice to her.

"Hmm." Alice didn't say anything, but Li Qi could feel that even if Alice didn't think of anything, her liking for him had risen a lot.

"The underground working environment doesn't seem to be bad, but I don't know if the work is so easy." Matt walked to the window, and if he didn't clearly know that he was coming down from above, the outside of the window would have made people believe that he was in a mansion.

The umbrella company still seems to be very humane, if you always work underground, you will feel depressed sooner or later, and the windows are made of real projection technology, which makes people visually guide their thoughts and feel like working in an urban building.

"Looks like we're going up the stairs." The task force who inspected the elevator with Matthew was helpless to find that the elevator that had fallen down was no longer usable.

"Everybody keep up." Again, Matthew calmly turned and walked towards the stairs.

"Is that okay?" Li Qi looked back at Alice behind him.

"Hmm." Alice didn't say much, nodded her head, and followed the team closely, speeding up her pace. All personnel entered the stairs and went down.

"Situation?" Matthew saw that there were already team members who had reached the stairs and wanted to know what was going on.

"The Red Queen locked us on, and she knew we were coming." Kaplan walked as he looked at the microcomputer data on his arm.

"Who's the Red Queen?" Alice looked back at Li Qi, and then thought that although Li Qi had partial amnesia, she might not be able to remember and looked at Matthew again.

"A state-of-the-art artificial intelligence system that controls the intelligence of the entire hive." Matthew looked ahead and didn't reply.

No one knew that the intelligent system Red Queen was monitoring all of them's every move, even talking.

After following Matthew in, Alice noticed that there were sinks everywhere, and the front ones were still leaking.

"The route to the Red Queen's location needs to go through these labs." Kaplan looked at the microcomputer on his arm and saw that things weren't going well.

"Rei and Jedi check the situation, and Kaplan looks for another route to get there." Matthew, as the captain, was quick to give orders.

"What's going on here?" Sbans asked Matthew without understanding the situation in front of him.

Matthew looked back at Spencs, then at the others who were all looking at him waiting for his explanation.

"Five hours ago, the Red Queen killed everyone here," Matthew had to tell them why they were here.

"Oh my God." Sbans lamented the cruelty of the Red Queen, but he didn't realize that he had caused it all.

Li Qi glanced at Sibans with disdain.

"The company found out what was going on here, and our team was sent here on a mission to shut it down." Matthew didn't notice Matt stunned at what he said in disbelief.

Li Qi found out about Matt's situation and naturally knew why Matt was like this, because the reason Matt was here was his sister.

"Why did it kill them?" Alice also found it incredible.
