Chapter 4: The First Sight of the Flame Empress
"Captain, what are we going to do next!?" A mercenary asked nervously. "Let's retrieve the Flame Empress's motherboard, which records everything that happened here, and then we evacuate as soon as possible!" The mercenary captain said calmly. "I don't recommend that?!" Liu Yun raised his eyebrows and said softly. The mercenary captain looked at Liu Wen and asked, "Don't you want to stop our actions!" You are now a captive! "Please rest assured, I know very well and accept my current status as a prisoner, but you also know that there are zombies everywhere here, if we don't evacuate as soon as possible, when the zombies come out, we won't be able to leave!" Liu Yun replied calmly. "It's definitely impossible to withdraw, the inertia of the plot is extremely strong, only by doing so can you guide that introduction to appear, I don't know if you can get some help here! But this punishment..."
"Kaplan, calculate the course of action and the time it will take for us to complete the mission!" The mercenary captain ordered one of the mercenaries beside him. With the sound of keyboard tapping, about 1 minute or so, Kaplan replied, "If we set off now, it will take about 15 minutes to reach the computer room, plus the removal of the motherboard and the key card that may need to be overcome on the way, counting the time to come back, it will be about 40-60 minutes, and then we will need to spend about 10 minutes to take the car back to the ground!" ”
"No, you've miscalculated, we're basically going and there's no return!" Liu Yun frowned tightly and responded! "What do you mean?!" Kaplan looked at Liu Yun and asked. "The Flame Empress also understands something, it is an intelligent computer, and according to its program settings, we are now in the range of the zombie virus, it will not let us easily get what we want and leave safely!" Mao Yuqiu continued.
"You mean?!" The mercenary captain looked at Mao Yuqiu and said. "Will it stop our movements?!" "Yes! According to our information, the Flame Empress's program is to protect the secrets of the base from being revealed, and in the event of special circumstances, it is also based on limited protection of humans. So since we are already in the range of infection, it is possible to spread the virus, so for the sake of human beings, it is impossible for us to leave, otherwise why do you think this place is filled with water everywhere? Mao Yuqiu said coldly.
"That's what happened!" The mercenary captain pondered for a moment and muttered. "Warning! If the plot is reversed directly, causing the plot to fail to progress, it will directly increase the mobility of all zombies by 100% and release all creepers! A rigid and solemn voice sounded in everyone's minds!
"It's... It's really not that simple," Liu Yun frowned and thought about it, and then said, "However, if the next action is to let us directly participate, of course, under your surveillance, then the chances of safety will be much higher, and we will also share all the information we know, how about it!" "Yes!" After a long time, the mercenary captain replied in a deep voice. "There's no way, in order not to directly lead to the punishment of the group annihilation, I can only follow the plot first!"
As time went by, everyone finally came to the laser channel. And when Kaplan is trying to crack the door card through the computer, everyone is also passing glances to each other. After the warning of the main god just now, the situation of everyone's reckless competition for reward points has been temporarily eased, but at the moment, this kind of "point-giving" place has made everyone's minds begin to liven.
With a snap, the door of the passage was opened, and looking at the behavior of the crowd passing glances, the mercenary captain asked with a gloomy face, "It seems that this passage is not as simple as we thought, is it?" "Yes, according to our intelligence, this passage actually has a laser defense system..."Zhang Min just opened his mouth to introduce, "Exposing the laser defense system in advance will lead to instability in the plot, and new variables will be added in the laser channel and trigger the side plot at the same time, "Defend the mercenaries!" "Whoever accepts this task needs to accompany the mercenary into the laser tunnel next, and for each mercenary successfully saved, they will receive 500 bonus points, and 500 bonus points will be deducted for each mercenary who dies."
Zhang Min's eyes lit up, and then hurriedly said, "I can go in with you!" "The mercenary captain looked at Liu Yun, obviously, based on Liu Yun's performance at the moment, he thought that this man was the leader of this team." She's right, if you don't believe me, you can take us in, but it's best to listen to us, because we know the trajectory of the laser defense system. Liu Yun shrugged helplessly and said.
Ten minutes later, when they learned from everyone about the laser defense system in the passage and the attack trajectory mentioned, the mercenaries were scared into a cold sweat, but they were half-convinced, and after Kaplan's computer query, they found that there was indeed a defense system, and said that it had been successfully cracked.
Looking around, the mercenary captain pointed at Wang Chao, and Mao Yuqiu said, "You two also come in with us!" "The faces of the two of them have changed, Zhang Min may only care about hearing the bonus points, but they can clearly hear the words new variables." Just kidding, the defense of the laser channel can't be so easy to crack at all, otherwise what would this side plot be about! "I..." Wang Chaogang wanted to say something, click! One of the mercenaries raised his gun and pointed it at him, and he didn't dare to say anything. Then he rolled his eyes and said, "I can go in with you, but I ask to go to the front" "Then you can't help it, you are in the middle of the group, you are behind the group, you are in the front!" With the assignment of the mercenary captain, there are a total of 6 people in the team, of which Zhang Min walks in the front, and behind him is a mercenary who points a gun at her, in order to prevent any accidents, he can shoot her at the first time, Wang Chao is in the middle, watched by the mercenary captain, Mao Yuqiu is at the back of the team, and another mercenary is watching.
Walking in the middle of the team, Wang Chao's face was gloomy, but he was secretly happy in his heart, he said that on purpose, he knew that these people didn't believe in themselves at all, so he would definitely not let himself go to the front, as long as he was not in the front, he was more careful and concentrated, he should be able to dodge the lasers at the beginning, of course, as long as the laser trajectory remains unchanged. It's something that can't be helped. If you don't say it, it is estimated that the other party will shoot you in the first place.
And Mao Yuqiu didn't say a word from the beginning, and after entering the passage, the whole person was even more silent, she tried her best to look around quietly, trying to find out what was different, and that kind of place must be the place where variables appear. Of course, it is not excluded that the attack methods of lasers are diversified. In contrast, Zhang Min seemed to be starting to be scared, probably slowly reacting, remembering that there are still variables, and even began to tremble when he walked.
With a loud bang, the door was finally shut, "Kaplan!" The mercenary captain shouted, and as the mercenaries all followed the example of the captain, they pulled the person in front of them with one hand, and a gun against the man's back, and quickly retreated to the door. What's going on Kaplan, isn't it already cracked! The mercenary captain asked loudly. The Flame Empress has tampered with the data, don't worry, give me 5 minutes, and I'll be able to crack it again in no time! Kaplan replied loudly as he crackled on the keyboard.
"I don't think you need to!" With an ethereal girl's voice sounding, a burst of light and shadow intertwined, and a girl's projection appeared in the passage, Mao Yuqiu, Wang Chao and others all shrank their eyes, but they didn't expect that the Flame Empress would appear here! "It's the Flame Empress!" Kaplan shouted. "Please don't be nervous, you're all going to die here, I'm just showing up because I'm curious about a few of you." At the same time, a projection of a little girl appeared outside the passage, and she said in the direction of everyone, "According to the information, you are employees of the umbrella company, but according to my monitoring of the data, the information seems to have been tampered with all of a sudden today, your data seems to have appeared out of thin air, and I have been monitoring you all the way, according to the information you provided, I have checked the information of the opponents of the umbrella company, and I have not found your information, so who are you?" ”
This... Everyone obviously didn't expect that the Flame Empress would ask such a question about them, and they didn't know how to answer for a while, "Sure enough, even the Flame Empress has been affected!" Mao Yuqiu's eyes shrank and thought in his heart. It doesn't matter who we are, we have no ill will towards you, and as you can see, we, too, are captured now! Liu Yun was the first to speak and replied to the Flame Empress. If you want to know more about us, why don't you help us get rid of our current identity first, and we'll talk! ”
"Shut up!" The mercenary on Liu Yun's side kicked over Liu Yun and said viciously. "I don't think you're entitled to bargain with me!" The little girl of the Flame Empress replied indifferently. "Since you don't plan to say it, then die here with them!" With that, the figure of the little girl of the Flame Empress disappeared.
Then, the laser came.
