Chapter 21 As Expected
Yes, there's something Zhang Jie didn't say explicitly: the Lord God won't let you comfortably and peacefully get through a horror movie.
So far, none of us have encountered any real danger in this horror movie, which is clearly inconsistent with the usual style of the main god, so something is definitely amiss.
Zhang Jie's words cast a shadow over Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and the others.
Geralt, who was standing nearby, had overheard the entire conversation between Zhang Jie and the others, and he became more cautious about the return journey ahead.
In fact, ever since Geralt entered the horror movie scene, he has been pondering the purpose of the main god pulling him and others into the horror movie scene.
Zhang Jie's words gave Geralt a hint: it seemed the main god wouldn't let people like him experience a horror movie without much risk.
At this moment, Kaplan stood up with a remote control in his hand and said, "It's all set up. We can set off now."
Matthew didn't get up immediately after hearing this, but said seriously, "Should we check it again? We can afford to wait a little longer."
Upon hearing this, Kaplan's face seemed to turn slightly red. He didn't say anything, but lowered his head to examine it again, and said irritably, "There's nothing wrong with it."
JD, standing next to Kaplan, patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother, you understand, don't worry about it."
Kaplan said in a muffled voice, "I know."
Matthew didn't leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Geralt and said, "Time is of the essence; we must leave right away. Is there anything else?"
Unbeknownst to him, Geralt's role in the team grew increasingly important; this was the benefit of wielding power.
Geralt looked at Kaplan and said, "Give me the remote control for safekeeping."
Seeing this, Kaplan looked at Matthew, who nodded without hesitation and said, "Give it to him."
Geralt took the remote control from Kaplan and waved it at Red Queen, saying:
"You should know what this is for!"
After saying that, Geralt led his group to turn around and prepare to return home.
Just then, Spence, who had been dead, stood up unsteadily, with the arrow Geralt had just shot still stuck in his chest.
"They're like a persistent ghost!"
The female mercenary, Rain, cursed under her breath.
Then, Rain looked at Geralt and his group and urged them:
"What are you waiting for? Shoot and finish this guy off."
Before Zheng Zha and the others could make a move, Alice took a few steps forward, approached Spence, raised her submachine gun, released the safety to the semi-automatic position, and fired a burst, hitting him squarely between the eyebrows.
A gunshot rang out, and Spence fell to the ground, now in eternal sleep, never to wake again.
Alice holstered her gun and said calmly, "Let's go!"
Zhan Lan looked at Alice with a hint of admiration in her eyes; Alice was exactly the kind of person Zhan Lan wanted to be.
While still in the real world, Zhan Lan might have been writing novels and not idolizing Alice, but now she's in this precarious and dangerous horror film.
Alice's outstanding example of female power is exactly what Zhan Lan aspires to be, not to mention Alice's later state after evolving through the T-virus.
The group passed through the laser tunnel and continued back the way they came.
As Geralt and his companions watched their figures gradually disappear, the Red Queen uttered a completely emotionless sentence:
"You will all die here."
Geralt and his party had already gone far away, so naturally no one could hear the Red Queen's curse. But even if they could hear it, there was nothing they could do about it.
For safety reasons on the return trip, the Red Queen naturally couldn't shut it down, otherwise the Hive would run out of power, so when she heard this, she could only let her have her way.
As long as she's happy!
At this moment, it can be seen that the order of the team is still the same as when they arrived, with Matthew and the other mercenaries walking at the front, and Geralt and the others walking behind.
The only difference from when they arrived was that Matthew and his group didn't have guns, while Geralt and his group did.
Logically, those with weapons should lead the way, but Zheng Zha and his group had stolen their guns, specifically from Matthew and his men.
In addition, Matthew and the others are mercenaries who have risked their lives, while Zheng Zha and the others, apart from Geralt's Zhang Jie, were just ordinary citizens before this.
Therefore, Zheng Zha and the others naturally dared not entrust their backs to Matthew and the others.
Even if everyone's goals are currently aligned, it won't work.
As they approached Restaurant B, the mercenaries and their men became even more wary.
At this moment, Matthew asked Kaplan:
"Besides climbing the stairs, is there any other shorter route to the ground?"
Kaplan listened and explained:
"No, the shorter route requires taking the elevator, but all the elevators are locked; it looks like Red Queen has them locked."
"There should be monsters similar to Spencer inside."
At this moment, Ryan interjected:
"I don't trust that bitch Red Queen either. I'm worried that she might take advantage of the elevator to do something."
At this point, Matthew gave up the idea of taking a shortcut, and Zhu Peng and Zhan Lan behind him also looked disappointed.
Meanwhile, in the room where the Red Queen was located, the silver cylindrical object containing the Red Queen's motherboard began to move downwards.
It turns out that this platform, ostensibly used to house the Red Queen motherboard, is actually also an elevator used for moving up and down.
The platform continued downwards and then stopped deep underground in a place resembling a honeycomb architecture.
Then two people wearing white biohazard suits walked up and stepped onto the platform.
The elevator rose again, carrying the two people in biohazard suits to the room where the Red Queen was.
The two men had a clear objective; they went directly to the circuit breaker that Kaplan had turned off, and after a series of actions...
One of the personnel spoke through the headset: "Commander Wesker, the circuit breaker has been activated and the remote control has been removed."
In a monitoring room deep underground within this beehive, a man with slicked-back hair and sunglasses replied:
"Return via the same route."
After he finished speaking, the man named Wesker looked at the large monitoring screen in front of him, which showed Geralt and his group.
Wesker's gaze was fixed on Geralt: "Interesting, fire, ice, shockwaves, Dr. Isaacs will definitely like this kind of test subject."
"But before that, let me see how good you are!"
"The Red Queen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Red Queen's face appeared on the monitor screen in front of Wesker: "Mr. Wesker, what are your orders?"
