Chapter 14: Solving the Traitors Left Behind? Licker Crisis
"The T virus has invaded the air conditioning and ventilation system, and it is uncontrollable after spreading, and the virus has mutated, and the original liquid state has become a gas, and now it is transmitted with blood, and it can survive with the development of the environment, and it has reached the point where it is almost impossible to eliminate."
Regarding the captain's question, the red queen did not mean to hide it, but she also had her own insistence.
"I can't let it spread out of the hive, so I took the necessary steps."
The necessary measure, which is to kill everyone, is really an effective way.
And that's the end of the explanation, and finally she declares: "You must understand, infected people, I must not let you go." ”
"Oh, but we don't have the virus?" The amnesiac man asked, pursing his lips.
"Even a scratch can infect you, and then you'll be the same as them"
Rain's face instantly turned cold, and the mercenary who had his finger cut off hurriedly checked his wound - it was already stained with the blood belonging to the zombie at some point.
It's not good news, two people are infected.
Fortunately, knowing the nature of the virus, he was careful not to let himself get stained with blood, and he had an idea.
Patting Rain on the shoulder, he asked in an affirmative tone.
"Since it's a virus being studied, there should be a therapeutic vaccine, right? The purpose of the corporation was to make a profit, not to destroy the entire human race, and it was impossible to create a highly dangerous virus that could be used in the military without developing its antiviral serum. ”
Everyone was shocked, eagerly waiting for the Red Queen's answer.
"Is he telling the truth? Right? ”
The Red Queen was silent for a while, which had already let the mercenaries know the result.
"If you refuse to answer, then we'll have to burn your board."
Raising the remote, Kaplan was so threatening.
And under the pressure of being destroyed, the red queen, who had already developed some sense of survival, finally succumbed.
"The infection has been too long and I can't guarantee that the antiviral serum is effective."
That means that the serum does exist.
"So tell us, where are they now?"
Realizing that his team members had hope of survival, the captain helped Rain ask this most crucial message.
"They were in a virus lab, but now they've been stolen."
This question immediately made Xiao Lan interested.
"Stealing, I think this may have something to do with the leakage of the virus, I don't believe that the place where the virus is studied will have no precautions, right?"
His speculation turned out to be quite plausible.
"Yes, someone stole them and broke a virus in the lab to make it spread."
Then, the next step is the most crucial.
"Who is it?"
But before the red queen could reply, the amnesiac man on the side suddenly screamed - he seemed to be afraid of something.
"Listen, it's just an inconsequential issue, maybe it's just an experimental accident, maybe it's just a researcher who wasn't careful enough......"
He may have recovered his memory, but at this time he really made a wrong decision, and actually began to excuse himself when he was not suspected.
The captain pulled out his pistol and pointed it at his head, and then urged.
"Answer our questions, Red Queen."
The Red Queen followed his will.
"It's Spencer. Parks. ”
Spencer. Parks, no one knows the name, but it seems that someone has also regained his memory at this time.
"Spencer" looked at the man in front of him who had forged a marriage contract with him, Alice's eyes widened, "It's you?" ”
There is no need to say more, it is already clear who the prisoner is.
"No, it's not me!" But the man named Spencer didn't want to admit it, and he panicked and argued, "That murderous bitch is lying!" ”
Without giving him more chance to speak, the angry Rain shot him directly in the head, causing the man to go straight to God.
"Guide the plot characters to kill Spencer. Parks, get 1 D-level side story, 800 bonus points. ”
The main god prompt that appeared again - although there was some confusion as to why there was only so much, but at this moment Xiao Lan knew that he had more important things to do.
"Where are those things he stole from? Don't tell me it's on a train. ”
Frowning slightly, he asked.
"Actually, it's there."
The red queen confirmed Xiao Lan's conjecture, they were Spencer found on the train, so the most likely thing he stole was there, and it was indeed there.
But then they have to run back to the train first?
This is not really good news.
However, there is worse news.
"What's in those containers at Restaurant B?"
The captain's question drew everyone's attention, but after a moment they regretted it a little.
The Licker, the "freezer" stuff in Restaurant B, one of the early experiments of the hive, is an ugly product obtained by injecting the T virus directly into the tissues of active cells, which is extremely unstable, and mutates once new DNA is ingested, becoming a more ferocious and rapid hunter.
And there are almost two hundred of these ghosts in Cafeteria B - the captain finally understands what Xiao Lan meant by "very dangerous" before.
However, just when a group of mercenaries began to give up on themselves, Xiao Lan, who had always remained calm, asked a very critical question.
"After red, how long will the power of the freezer last?"
He knows what a licker is, a monster that Leon, who has just graduated from the police academy in Resident Evil 2, can take out with a pistol and a knife, but he doesn't think he has Leon's protagonist aura, and he doesn't think movies and games will be exactly the same.
And even if it is the weaker one, he definitely does not want to face a large number of them, there are more ants and they can pile up dead elephants, and they are not as powerful as elephants, and lickers are not as weak as ants.
So, their mothballing situation is very critical, and those freezers will be no exception when Kaplan cuts off the power, but what about backup power?
"The main power supply could not be reconnected, and the backup power was able to last for about forty-five minutes."
It's still not good news, it's been nearly half an hour since the power went out, and they're going to have to escape from the hive in less than fifteen minutes left, under the watchful eye of the living dead?
"After the red, is there an elevator that can still be used?"
Xiao Lan continued to ask, maybe the zombies could still rush all the way, but no one planned to challenge the height of four hundred meters.
"There was a spare elevator and the way to where it was"
The red queen replied very obediently, this is barely good news, but there is a very critical question.
Pulling the computer expert over, Xiao Lan leaned into his ear and asked in a voice that only two people could hear.
"Kaplan, can you keep the mains running with the motherboard removed? We need an elevator, but I don't want to fall back down halfway through. ”
With the temperament of the red queen, this possibility is very large.
"I can try to replace it with a laptop, but it will only last ten minutes at most, and it will burn out in an overload."
Hearing Kaplan's answer, and thinking about the location from the main engine room to the elevator door, Xiao Lan gestured to the captain on the side.
"OK, you can do it!"
The captain, who had already developed some tacit understanding, suddenly understood and nodded at Kaplan.
"Do as he says, and the others and I will go and get ready first."
There was not much leisure, and the mercenaries seized the time to quickly allocate the ammunition that was not abundant, and the main DPS Xiao Lan had an extra magazine in his hand, and then they opened the door and walked out of the main room.
To tell the truth, the sound insulation effect of the main engine room is really good, there is noise and gunfire inside, but there seems to be nothing outside to hear the oncoming Zhang Jie and their faces are "relaxed", and their immediate proposal is also quite surprising.
"The four of us stayed."
As soon as he came out, he heard such a sentence, and he wanted to explain to them that the captain of the plan was stunned, these guys actually planned to stay in this hellish place?
"What do you mean? We're running out of time now, and I don't have time to joke with you. ”
Zhang Jie, the leader, dropped the cigarette butt and said very seriously: "No kidding, what I mean is that the four of us stay and stay here, I think you also know that the three of them are simply the physical fitness of ordinary citizens, and in the next long-distance escape, the possibility of them falling behind is very great, rather than accepting such a big possibility of failure, it is better to stay here safely." ”
The corners of the captain's mouth twitched a little, because he might fail and do nothing? This is really a negative approach
At this moment, Xiao Lan touched her nose and walked over from behind.
"Let them stay here, Kaplan will open the laser passage here, and if they stay here, they may have a higher chance of survival than us."
With Xiao Lan's intelligence, Zheng Zha's plan is not difficult to guess at all, instead of following the mercenaries to go on an adventure, it is better to stay in the safe host room, since you are like this, Xiao Lan simply fulfilled them.
However, he didn't say anything about Kaplan's replacement of the motherboard with a computer.
"So be it, stay here and don't die."
Since Xiao Lan said so, the captain no longer insisted, and when Kaplan came out of the finished work, he started to set off randomly.
And looking at Zheng Zha, who was left behind, the mercenaries' eyes were full of pity.
Restaurant B is less than 100 meters away from here, the main power supply can only support more than ten minutes, and there is no way out in the computer room, they are dead!

If there is no last sentence, this chapter is still very watery, and the atmosphere is well mobilized~
As for the update time, I'd better change it back to Khan
