Chapter 6: Negotiations with the Flame Empress
"Please wait." Mao Yuqiu, who had just recovered his senses, opened his mouth and said softly. Maybe it was because they had just experienced life and death together, and the mercenary captain at this time did not have a very serious hostile mood as in the passage, he looked at Mao Yuqiu and said, "What do you want to say." Mao Yuqiu said slowly: "I want to confess our true identity to you, but it is conditional, and it will definitely benefit you and do no harm!" Liu Yun and Chen Feng both looked at Mao Yuqiu with puzzled eyes, "I have a plan, but I need to get rid of them first, if you don't believe me, you can interrupt me at any time later!" "Yes, after all, it is a real world of death, and everything is related to oneself, so everyone is worried that anyone will say something that is out of place, and even make the whole world more difficult, so Mao Yuqiu whispered quickly to Liu Yun and Chen Feng.
"Oh? Why are you negotiating with us, with your current status as a prisoner? The mercenary captain said to Mao Yuqiu in a deep voice. Three minutes, I only need three minutes, you just need to let me finish, believe it or not is completely yours, and it won't delay you any longer, if you think I'm lying, you can kill us at any time! Mao Yuqiu hurriedly answered. One minute! Looking at the anxious Mao Yuqiu in front of him, the mercenary captain was silent for a few seconds before speaking.
Mao Yuqiu took a deep breath, carefully unfolded the wording in his mind, and after a few seconds, he said urgently: "I want you to seriously recall how many staff members there are in the underground research institute in the intelligence, and then think about what the Flame Empress said just now. Also, you're going to go in the center to shut down the Flame Empress and retrieve the motherboard, right? ”
After finishing speaking, Mao Yuqiu nervously clenched his palms. "Can this work, I remember that in the original novel, the revelation and reminder of non-subjective consciousness should not be noticed by the main god. What I just said is actually a sideshow. After a few seconds, there was no warning from the main god in his mind, and at this time, Mao Yuqiu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then looked at the mercenary captain in front of him even more nervously. "Now it's up to him to think of it!"
The mercenary captain frowned, he couldn't quite understand what the woman was saying at the moment, but when he thought about the answers to those three questions, his eyes suddenly widened in horror. "It's done!" Mao Yuqiu looked at the expression of the person in front of him, although it was only a few seconds of change, but it was certain that he must have thought of it, but he couldn't let him say it!" I know that as mercenaries, you must complete the mission, so my condition is that we will no longer act with you, to be precise, we will stay in the hive and not leave, you can see, we do not have the ability and equipment to move like you, rather than let us die miserably in that kind of operation, we would rather end our lives here quietly! It won't even slow you down, and you won't have to worry about us escaping and revealing the Umbrella Company's secrets! Mao Yuqiu said these words in one breath, Chen Feng on the side was still confused, but Liu Yun seemed to have understood something, but he wanted to open his mouth several times, but he didn't say anything.
This time, the other party was silent for several minutes. It wasn't until he was sure that there were no loopholes in Mao Yuqiu's words that he spoke: "Okay, I agree, you can tell me your identity and purpose!" Mao Yuqiu endured the joy in his heart, and then said: "I don't know the name of the organization, because they have strict secrecy methods, but every time a fixed person contacts us to arrange a task, it is certain that this person is also one of the employees of the umbrella, the purpose of this organization is to steal the research secrets here, and then expose the evil research of the umbrella company to the world, and at the same time, the organization said that there should be spies from other companies who have mixed into the umbrella company, and want to steal the research virus and antidote here, Do what the umbrella company was supposed to do, monopolize the market! If you want to find out the information of the organization, after you go out, you can naturally confirm what I said by investigating our connectors and following the vine. ”
At this moment, both Alice and her spy boyfriend had an unnatural look on their faces. When the mercenary captain heard this, he glanced at Kaplan beside him, and Kaplan continued: "The conversation just now has been recorded. The captain nodded and said, "Then you are in the middle of the group, follow us into the hive." After that, the captain arranged for the rest of the mercenaries to be divided into two parts, Mao Yuqiu, Chen Feng and Liu Yun, and entered the beehive.
After entering the hive, wait for Kaplan to do something on the computer, then look up at the captain and say, "You can turn off the Flame Empress at any time, and then disassemble the computer motherboard." The captain looked at his watch and said: "Everyone check the equipment, bullets, insurance, grenades, and report it", and after all the mercenaries reported the existing equipment data, the captain said to everyone very seriously: "Wait a minute, after taking out the motherboard, all of us use the fastest speed to retreat outside the base, maintain the B formation, shoot in pairs, fill in the middle, remember!" Don't stop in any situation, even if it's me, if you can't get out when you're in danger, you can't stop! "Yes!" Everyone is on standby.
"Let's start" The captain gave an order to Kaplan, and Kaplan began to operate, and in less than three minutes, Kaplan completed the operation: "Captain, it's done, the motherboard has been taken out, and you can go at any time!" "Action!" One last glance at the remaining three, the mercenaries quickly walked out of the door, and even when they left, one of the mercenaries retreated in front of the three people, and only trotted away with the troops in front of them after stepping out of the laser passage.
"It's really a professional mercenary, even if we are unarmed, we will be so guarded against when we leave, I don't know if such a team can survive a few more people in this situation." Mao Yuqiu looked at the departing mercenaries, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little relaxed.
"Now, you can talk about your plans." Liu Yun said coldly to Mao Yuqiu. From the beginning of Mao Yuqiu's operation, he probably knew her thoughts, although there was also a gambling component, but the rhythm was also very close to the original work, so he thought about it again and again, but he couldn't help but didn't interrupt her.
Mao Yuqiu glanced at the two of them, and then said: "No way, in my opinion, we have taken a different path from the original situation from the beginning, and we have not even received their trust and any weapons and equipment support. I didn't even think I could rush out together, so I could only try to continue the way I came, and that was the only way I could think of it. She said slowly, probably trying to phrase it as much as possible, after all, there was a Flame Empress watching them, and there were some special words that still had to be taken care of.
"However, even though this is the case, the current time should be much earlier than the original and they..."Chen Feng also gradually reacted, he looked at the task timer displayed on his watch, "Survival time is three hours" and said. "Then it depends on whether the Flame Empress is willing to help us, you mean, Flame Empress!" Mao Yuqiu raised his head and said to the console.
"I don't understand why you didn't leave with them, and I still have doubts about who you say you are." The projection of the Flame Empress, flickering for a moment, then appeared in the middle of the room. After hearing this, Mao Yuqiu continued: "Most of what I said is true, but the most important part, I have concealed it, that is, we also have rescue troops!" So instead of going with them and risking their lives to rush out, it's better to wait here for the rescue force that may arrive! ”
"There is no way that the rescue force will successfully arrive, and everyone here will die." The Flame Empress replied. "I know, I know, you will definitely find a way to kill us in order to protect the human world outside from the virus and protect the company's information from being leaked." Mao Yuqiu continued. "Yes, so you will definitely die." The Flame Empress said without any emotion. "Then if I blow up your console before that, will the base's defense system be completely paralyzed, and when the time comes, the zombies here will run out, right?" Mao Yuqiu said as he took out a grenade from his pocket.
"Damn, you got this thing!" When Chen Feng saw this scene, he was so frightened that he took a step back and asked in horror. "It's in the passage, the dead mercenary at the back picked it up, at that time, you just came in, didn't I have the strength to stand up, I just saw that in the fragments of his body, this thing was not destroyed, so I took the opportunity to hide it secretly." Speaking of this, Mao Yuqiu even shook off the dried blood on his hand with a little disgust, which was originally carried on the grenade.
"What the hell do you want?" The Flame Empress asked, "I want to make a deal with you," Mao Yuqiu replied. "What kind of deal, if it's anything related to the leakage of company information, I can't compromise on it, including getting you out of here unharmed and letting the rescue force you said come in!" The Flame Empress paused for two seconds and said. "Understand, the deal is simple, we won't leave the hive, and we won't blow up your console, in exchange, you're going to protect us for at least three hours from the zombies outside, for example, turn on your laser channel defense system to prevent the zombies from coming in here." Speaking of this, Mao Yuqiu leaked a smile. Ten seconds later, the Flame Empress spoke: "Three hours, it seems that this is the time for your rescue force to arrive, but unfortunately, as soon as something happens here, I have already notified the headquarters, except for the mercenary team just now, the remaining armed forces and researchers sent by the headquarters will also arrive here within 3 days, no matter what size of rescue force you are, it is impossible to rescue you from their hands, I agree to your request." "A deal, it's a deal, it's not a request, well, then from now on, if there are zombies heading here, you have to notify us as soon as possible and prepare for defense." Mao Yuqiu finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said.
After Liu Yun heard that the Flame Empress agreed to the transaction, his eyes lit up, and then he immediately said: "Chen Feng, you come with me, Mao Yuqiu, let's go to the passage now to see what equipment is still available on the remaining corpses, if the Flame Empress has any abnormal movements, or if there is a laser to strangle us, you will directly blow it up, and we will die together." With that, Liu Yun took Chen Feng and trotted all the way to the passage.
", it's disgusting" Holding back the unpleasant smell and strong feeling of vomiting, the two of them fiddled with the pile of corpses, "This, the gun has been cut into several pieces by laser, and there are no extra grenades, even the dagger has become several sections" A few minutes later, Liu Yun said disgustingly while wiping the blood from his hands on the wall. "The Flame Empress! How long will it take for the nearest zombie to get here? At this time, Chen Feng, who was still squatting next to the corpse, suddenly asked. According to the feedback from the system, four zombies on the side of the restaurant began to move towards this side, and it will arrive here in about 20 minutes. The Flame Empress replied. Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in Liu Yun's eyes, "Then let's go in quickly" As he spoke, he prepared to run towards the beehive.
"Wait!" Chen Feng suddenly said, "Come and help, let's throw these two corpses outside, try to get a little farther away." Chen Feng continued, "What are you going to do?" Liu Yun asked suspiciously. Use the smell of corpses to lure away zombies as much as possible," Chen Feng replied. "That's right! I forgot about that. With that, Liu Yun and Chen Feng began to carry the corpses on the ground. After about ten minutes, most of the bodies of Zhang Min and the mercenary had been carried a little farther away by both of them. "Let's go back quickly, it's been ten minutes," Liu Yun said, wiping the stains from the corners of his mouth. "Good!" Chen Feng also wiped his mouth with his arm, because it was so disgusting, both of them vomited several times.
When Chen Feng and the two of them returned to the passage, Chen Feng looked at the top of the passage, smiled and said, "Sure enough!" Empress of Flames, turn on the fire sprinkler system inside the passageway, and we're going to take a shower. Liu Yun listened to Chen Feng's words, and also stopped there, waiting for the Flame Empress to turn on the water spray system. Five seconds later, the water spray system was turned on, and the two of them began to try to wipe the blood from their hands and bodies from carrying the corpse. After about three minutes of washing, the two of them also hurried into the hive, asking the Flame Empress to close the gates and water spray systems on both sides of the passage, and at the same time turn on the laser defense system.
The room fell silent as all three of them waited, waiting for that last hour.
