Zhang Jie nodded: "That's right. Being familiar with the plot is our biggest advantage, so I will never change the plot unless I have absolute certainty."
As he spoke, he glanced at everyone again, but this time his gaze was as cold as a knife: "If anyone tries to forcibly change the plot to obtain reward points, I don't mind sending him to hell."
Upon meeting Zhang Jie's cold gaze, all the newcomers fell silent, each obediently indicating that the rookies would follow the veteran's instructions.
Li Ling smiled upon seeing this, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
By this time, the mercenaries had finished exploring the entire hall. Captain Matthew Addison said, "Alright, let's get started. The rest of you, come with me."
Everyone quickly followed, passing through several steel gates along the way, before arriving at a central computer control room. However, because the central computer, the Flame Queen, had gone out of control, it was no longer possible to directly control the entire Hive from here.
The most computer-savvy mercenary was named 'Kaplan'. He immediately turned on three laptops, and even by a professional's standards, his computer skills were top-notch. His hands moved rapidly, pressing keys on the three laptops.
However, several minutes passed, and the gate leading directly to the central computer facility remained tightly shut.
One of the female mercenaries couldn't help but ask, "Why does it take so long?"
Kaplan, without turning his head, said, "The Flame Queen is an intelligent computer with a very complete defense system. If it were easy to break through its firewall, it wouldn't be used as the main computer in the laboratory."
As he spoke, a soft 'click' sounded, and the tightly closed door slowly opened. Matthew Addison commanded, "Pack it up!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at Li Ling and the others, saying, "You stay here."
Behind the gate is a passageway more than ten meters long, with glass walls on both sides, completely different from the steel walls outside the gate.
After Matthew Addison finished speaking, he walked inside on his own. He walked very cautiously, each step showing great care. When he reached the middle of the passage, he was suddenly startled.
The sudden light from the surrounding glass walls was enough to frighten an ordinary person so much that their legs would go weak.
Kaplan's voice came through the intercom: "Don't worry, it's just an automatic sensor light, nothing to be concerned about."
Those who had seen Resident Evil 1 sighed, saying, "These aren't automatic sensor lights, and they're not dangerous at all! They're clearly lasers from an automatic defense system!"
At this moment, Zheng Zha's expression changed several times. Just as he was about to say something to remind him, he was pulled by a small hand. He turned around and saw the young female writer Zhan Lan, who gently shook her head at him.
Zheng Zha was slightly taken aback, then fell silent.
At this moment, Matthew Addison had already placed the transmitter on the door's sensor.
Kaplan immediately started typing on the keyboard again, and after a short while, with a soft click, the door to the central computer finally began to slowly open.
Matthew Addison breathed a sigh of relief and called out to the crowd outside the passage, "Okay, bring the stuff over!"
Alice suddenly asked, "What is it?"
Kaplan, who was closest to her, explained, "This is a device that can shut down the Flame Queen. It releases a powerful electric current, disrupts the mainframe, and forces it to restart..."
At this moment, the mercenary carrying the device was about to enter the tunnel, where he would face the lasers of the automatic defense system.
In the movie, even the most skilled mercenary captain, Matthew Addison, ended up dead in the laser tunnel.
Seeing the mercenaries carrying equipment about to enter the passageway, Zheng Zha's saintly heart kicked in, and he finally couldn't help but shout, "Wait...wait a minute! Don't you think something's a little strange?"
This smart computer is far too useless; it just let you restart it like that. I don't think things are that simple. There's probably something strange about this passage.
The mercenaries stopped abruptly, all looking at him with astonishment. Zhan Lan sighed, released his hand, and moved away to the side of the female protagonist, Alice, for her safety.
Matthew Addison walked out of the passage, looked at Zheng Zha, paused for a moment, and said, "Alright, you, and you too, come in with us."
As he spoke, he pointed to Zheng Zha and the middle-aged truck driver next to him, Mou Gang.
Zhan Lan immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Her decision to leave Zheng Zha was indeed wise; otherwise, she might have been called into the laser tunnel as well.
Zheng Zha and Mou Gang, who were called out, immediately felt their hands and feet turn cold. Anyone who has seen Resident Evil 1 knows that this passage is a death trap!
Anyone who enters will be killed by the laser. Even the most skilled mercenary captain was cut into countless small pieces of flesh by the laser.
Zheng Zha looked conflicted, regretting his rash actions, and finally understood why Zhang Jie had said not to change the plot so easily.
This is outrageous!
Mu Gang, unable to bear the shock, covered his head and cried out, "No, I don't want to, I don't want to go in!"
As he spoke, he actually ran back the way he came.
Li Ling glanced at him and thought to himself, "What an idiot! He actually chose to run away? He's a hundred meters away from Matthew Addison, he's still going to die!"
Everyone watched in silence. Li Ling had no intention of being a pushover. As he said before, he, Li Ling, was not a saint.
Before Mu Gang had even run far, the mercenaries had already drawn their guns and started shooting at him.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
Mu Gang was sent flying far away, and when he landed, he was already a corpse, riddled with bullet holes.
"Ugh~~"
Zheng Zha, the chubby Zhang Li, high school student Li Xiaoyi, and female writer Zhan Lan all vomited upon witnessing this cruel scene.
A life, alive and well, was beaten into a bloody mess right before their eyes, a gruesome sight that no ordinary person could bear.
Matthew Addison coldly looked at the group of newcomers: "I suspected you from the beginning. Although your identities are registered in the company's records, you don't seem like company security guards at all! Now you still intend to stop us from restarting the Flame Queen?"
After saying that, he pointed at Zheng Zha, and then at Li Ling, indicating, "Alright, you, and you too, come in with us!"
Seeing this, Li Ling was speechless. Although he wasn't afraid, it was still an unexpected disaster! (The last line appears to be a series of unrelated characters and symbols, possibly a corrupted file or a corrupted file.)
