Hobbes's war hammer and axe were split into two propellers, and all the arrows near him were bounced aside.

Steve is simpler, just raise the shield and there won't be half an arrow shooting at him.

Laura and Davy shrank behind Steve and slowly moved forward with Steve.

Although David didn't turn on the shield of holy light, these arrows couldn't hurt him, but at this time, in order to keep a low profile, he decided to behave more normally.

Looking at the two corpses next to them, Jack and John were now more like hedgehogs than hedgehogs, and even if all the arrows on their bodies were removed, no one would be able to recognize the identities of these two people.

"It's miserable!"

After a second of silence for the two dragons, David also checked on the Kaplan by the way.

Only then did I find out that the mechanic introduced by Kane was not shot by the first round of arrows because of his good position, and he hid behind the big tree for the first time, and was poking out half of his head to check the situation at this time!

Just as David was checking, Hobbes had already rushed to the side of the manor mansion with two heavy weapons, jumped on top of the house with a slight leap, picked up the sledgehammer in his hand, and smashed the ping-pong smash, and in a moment of effort, these automatic bow and crossbow mechanisms on the roof had been smashed into waste.

Rumble!

Jumping off the roof, Hobbs moved his neck slightly, this kind of small scene, for him is not even a warm-up, but it is a pity that the two teammates he recruited died before entering the door.

"It's weird that it seems to be the manor's self-defense...... If labs are attacked, how do they avoid these protections? ”

Under normal circumstances, if an intrusion reaches a certain area without permission, the automatic defense mechanism will be triggered.

If the Hive Lab is attacked from the outside, there is no reason for these defenses to be triggered by themselves and others until this time: "The situation is a little wrong, everyone should be more careful in the future." ”

Hobbes, who traveled north and south and made a good reputation, was not a guy who only grew muscles but not brains, and he even began to think about whether to give up this commission directly?

But thinking that there was no substantial evidence at present, it would really damage his prestige to go back like this, so he decided to find out.

Turning his head to look at Davy and the others, these teammates had no idea of retreating, and Hobbs was even more unprepared to leave when he saw this.

In any case, the famous Luke Hobbs can't be compared to a few nobodies, right?

Watching Hobbes strut into the mansion, David and Steve glanced at each other and spread their hands in unison.

They all saw that Hobbes sensed that something was wrong, but was burdened by fame and gave up the best chance to exit.

"It's a pity, maybe it's a good thing if he chooses to leave."

Laura saw this too, and she wasn't just referring to what was going to happen in the Hive Lab.

Rather, it refers to the entire 'candidate' program.

Luke Hobbs is a candidate, and if he is determined to push forward, then he is destined to hit a wall called 'David'.

The position determines the relationship between David and the candidates, unless Hobbes voluntarily lowers his 'status' and becomes David's 'teammate', that is, he voluntarily relinquishes his 'protagonist' identity and is willing to play a supporting role.

However, several people present could see that this Hobbes was clearly not the one who would do that.

"What are you going to do?"

Laura looked at David and pointed at Hobbs, who had already walked into the mansion.

In this regard, David did not hesitate at all: "Cold salad!" ”

What else can I do? The only thing David can do is to explain the general situation before he starts, so that the other party can die clearly.

Of course, if Hobbes had died directly in the laser tunnel like the mercenary captain in the original plot, David wouldn't have to bother.

Walking into the mansion together, they didn't have to worry about slowing down and not finding Hobbes, because this big man was standing in the wide hall of the mansion at this time, talking to a woman in a long red dress.

A few people who had just rewatched the plot of Resident Evil yesterday afternoon saw at a glance that this woman was the absolute protagonist of the Resident Evil movie version: Alice.

"Now there are two candidates standing in front of you, do you want to do it?"

Ignoring Steve's joke about using tricks, David walked a few steps to Hobbs's side, and Alice was slightly stunned when she saw David, and looked at David carefully twice before looking at Laura and Steve.

"These are my teammates."

When Hobbes asks Alice, who doesn't know anything, Kaplan finally comes to the mansion and quickly enters the character, checking the various mechanisms in the mansion.

In the end, it was concluded that the mechanism in the mansion had been activated, and Alice's current state of not knowing anything should be the residual effect of being mentally attacked.

Hobbes, who was still counting on something to get something out of the 'caretaker' of the laboratory, was disappointed when he heard this.

"How long will it take for her to recover?"

"If it's fast, it's a few hours, and if it's slow, it's possible from a few days to a month."

"......" Hobbes cursed in a low voice, wondering what kind of strange mechanism this was?

At this moment, Hobbs seemed to sense something, and before he could call the code to his teammates next to him, he saw Steve suddenly throw the shield in his hand.

Bell ~ Bell ~ Tom!

The round shield refracted twice and hit a man hiding in the corner, before the shield bounced back and flew back into Steve's hand.

Seeing this outrageous scene, Hobbs didn't even bother to care about the stunned unknown person, and looked at Steve and the shield in his hand with curiosity.

"What kind of shield is this?"

"The best round shield in our village."

As the two men spoke, David brought the unknown man back: it was a young man dressed in improvised leather armor with a standard one-handed sword stuck at his waist.

Hobbes's brow furrowed when he saw the man's outfit and weapon.

Just as he wanted David to wake the man up, the man woke up on his own: "I'm Matthew Addison, a local patrol guard. ”

"Why do the patrol guards only wear simple leather armor? And running to someone else's house so late? ”

"I just heard a movement from here and came over to check, I didn't wear guard armor because I wasn't on duty." The man stood up and checked himself, and found that except for a little pain in the back of his neck, there was nothing abnormal in other places: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Luke Hobbs, and I've been commissioned by the owner of this place to investigate what's going on in the lab he's invested in."

"Luke Hobbs?" Matthew Addison was shocked when he heard this: "That Luke Hobbs? ”

"I don't know which you're referring to, but I'm Luke Hobbs."

"Luke Hobbes of the Holy Capital?"

"It's me!"

"Wow!"

Matthew, whose face was suddenly full of joy, opened his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Kaplan, who had been busy for a long time.

"The secret door has been unlocked, and we can get in."

As if he had been reminded of something, Matthew immediately shut his mouth, and the look of surprise disappeared, and instead looked around with vigilant eyes, looking at David and the others.

When his gaze swept to David, Matthew was surprised to find that this person actually nodded to himself and said hello.

“……”

It's strange that Matthew doesn't know why, this young man has a 'everything under control' expression, is it because he is Hobbes's teammate? Confident in Luke Hobbs?

With all kinds of questions in his heart, and Matthew also had his own things to investigate, even if Hobbes didn't embarrass him and detain him, he still followed Hobbes and his party into the secret door opened by Kaplan.

After walking into it, I found that it was a small station, and a magic subway stopped in front of everyone.

In David's opinion, after entering the place, the style of the surrounding environment has changed: if it was in a European medieval-style mansion before, it is now in modern times.

However, the core still maintains a magical wind, and there are some glitches on the magic subway, which Mechanic Kaplan says he can easily solve.

In fact, after Kaplan went up and tinkered twice, the magic subway restarted, and everyone present got into the car, and found the 'root of all evil' Spence Parks in the car, that is, Alice's fake husband who stole the virus in the original movie and smashed a tube of virus stock solution when he left.

I quickly arrived at the end of the subway with a locked gate in front of me.

"When you enter here, you can really enter the hive laboratory." Kaplan had been busy unlocking the door, explaining the situation to a few people: "It's up to you to do the rest." ”

"Rest assured, whatever happens inside, I can handle it."

At this time, Alice, who had been following in a daze since just now, finally decided to ask, but instead of questioning Hobbs, who was obviously the leader, she stood in front of David.

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing that David didn't speak, Alice grabbed David's arm directly, as if to show her attitude: "I need to know the specific situation now." ”

"The investors at Hive Labs did not receive the goods on time and suspected that the lab had been attacked by a competitor, so they entrusted us to check the situation."

"That's it?"

"That's all I know." David smiled and finished the narration work, regretting that he, the guide of the temporary cameo, didn't seem to be able to get a reward from Alice: "After all, we are just adventurers hired temporarily, and as for the rest of the situation, we can only know after entering the hive." ”
