Chapter 45
The red queen suddenly disappeared, and then opened all the closed doors, which seemed to show his attitude.
Umbrella's plan cannot change. Since it cannot be caused as a pure accident as planned, it is better to simply eliminate all the insiders. As long as everyone present dies, the subsequent development will naturally be slowly guided back to the original track.
Ethan shook her head helplessly. After all, Queen Hong is not really an artificial intelligence with self-awareness. She just strictly abides by pre-determined instructions, so this negotiation can be said to have failed.
"It doesn't matter, it's the same if you force yourself to pass by!"
Ethan pulled out the sword casually, and the same movement was also Arthur who had been silent, and Jill had been holding his pistol and never relaxed.
"Don't stand by the door, leave some distance..."
Before he could finish his words, a red shadow jumped in from outside the door. Everyone didn't even see clearly what it was. Only Ethan realized that Queen Hong had just lied.
"Licker!"
There is almost no epidermis, the muscles are completely exposed, the sensory ability is extremely strong, the speed is amazing, and it has a pair of sharp claws that can tear open steel, and a tongue that can pop out several meters in an instant, and is strong enough to make a big hole in the human body.
Licking is already a mature biological and chemical weapon, one or two are already very dangerous, and if it appears in groups, the threat will increase exponentially.
Unlike the lickers in the original game that lost their vision during their evolution and rely entirely on hearing to act. The lickers in the movie version seem to have thermal imaging vision, which allows them to find hiding prey more easily.
Therefore, Ethan could not let the licker ignore himself by keeping quiet control of breathing sounds. There is only one way to go when encountering a licker in this world: either kill it or be killed by it!
He raised his hand and fired a flame arrow to interfere with the other one. At the same time, he rushed towards the licker who jumped out first, and the sword in his hand slashed over.
A sword slashed the claws of the licker, and it actually made a sound of metal collision. As the blade passed through the claws, it even brought a spark.
"How did this claw evolve!"
I secretly complained in my heart that this thing was changed too much, and the movements in my hands became faster.
After slashing along the outside of his claws, Ethan waved downwards with force, and then swung a sharp turn to make a diagonal slash. If this hit, it would just hit the chest of the licker, where there was the licker's biggest weakness, the almost completely protruding heart.
As long as the heart is hit hard, the licker will die immediately, which is even more deadly than attacking the brain exposed to the air.
But because of this, the heart of the licker is not easily attacked. It usually maintains a lying slump and protects its weaknesses.
However, the licker was in mid-air, so Ethan slashed his sword firmly, and even slightly increased his strength. After slashing the licker's heart, he still threw it back and flew backwards, hitting the other licker who was following closely behind.
At the same time, the licker, who was disturbed by Ethan's flame arrow, was shot into a sieve by Captain James and his team members who had reacted.
"Attacking the heart and head, hitting other parts will not kill them."
The tomboy Renn held up the gun and slowly approached the beaten licker who was lying on the ground without moving, and then shot a few more shots at the body before removing the empty magazine and replacing it with a new one.
"Hasn't this thing been cleaned up by the Red Queen? That damn computer tricked us?"
When Ethan killed the first licker, Arthur rushed up. In terms of swordsmanship, Arthur was much better than him in close combat. Although he took action later, he almost instantly solved his opponent, especially when he knew the enemy's weaknesses.
Many mercenaries noticed that the two young men actually killed two monsters with long swords. They remembered that they were holding automatic weapons and then killing one of them. The difference between them was too big?
But at this time no one was in the mood to discuss this. The licker was not cleaned up as Hong Hou said, so more monsters would come next, and there were also zombies turned into by all the hive personnel. The thing was single and there was no danger, but if a large group of people rushed out, no one could guarantee what would happen.
"Pick off the red motherboard first."
In any case, the red man must be closed, but the passage to the main machine room is closed tightly. Even if it is opened, they will remember that there are defense equipment in this passage that can kill all of them.
"Kaplan!"
"I'm working hard!"
Computer expert Kaplan was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat, but no matter how hard he tried, there was no movement in the door in front of him, and all his attempts were easily resolved by the Red Queen.
"Damn it, I can't take control at all!"
Although Ethan looked at the mercenaries a little impatient, he was not panicked and had a very tacit understanding in his actions, knowing that they had stabilized their positions.
He stepped back a little and opened the door to avoid hindering the mercenaries' shooting horizon. Ethan, who was now attacking, stabbed Spence, who was pressed to the ground with a sword.
"What are you doing?"
The justice-like policewoman Jill didn't expect Ethan to kill Spence suddenly. She also knew that this guy was dead and was not worthy of sympathy, but she didn't think Ethan could kill him like this: "He should be taken outside for trial! And his existence can prove Umbrella's various crimes..."
"Stop kidding, do you think Umbrella will give you a chance?" Ethan brought Jill with him for purpose, not because she was a girl, nor would he think she was qualified to blame herself: "Besides, now our first priority is to protect ourselves. Do you think that there is such a guy in the team that will not kill someone of us?"
Originally, Arthur also felt that Ethan killed Spencer, who had lost his power of resistance, which seemed a bit inappropriate, but when Ethan explained this, he realized that under the current situation, it was indeed not suitable to put a hidden danger by his side.
"When facing huge threats from external enemies, you must ensure the internal unity of your own team, otherwise it is likely to cause extremely bad consequences."
He now began to feel that Merlin allowed him to travel in various planes with Ethan, which would not only be able to see all kinds of worlds, but also to understand more of the truth that he could not teach himself.
He doesn't have to agree, but he must understand and distinguish the pros and cons of these behaviors. Ethan happens to be an excellent reference object - as long as he observes whether the result of Ethan's decisions is good or bad, he can understand the pros and cons of these behaviors, which is much more intuitive than just talking with his mouth.
Ethan didn't know what Arthur was thinking in his head. After stabbing Spence to death and eliminating the hidden danger, he walked directly to Kaplan: "No need to work hard, just blow the door open."
He didn't believe that when these mercenaries came down, they were not even prepared for blasting equipment. What should they do if they hit the damaged door and blocked the way?
James also agreed with Ethan's proposal and directed two mercenaries to prepare to go forward for blasting...but before they could reach the door, the door opened automatically.
Ethan ignored it and continued to ask: "Don't worry, even if the door is opened, we will blow it up. First, blow this door away, otherwise as soon as we enter, the naughty little girl locks the doors on both sides..."
James nodded and signaled his two subordinates to do as they did, and then they watched Honghou close the open door again.
"Fearless struggle!"
Ethan, who had made up his mind, would not give Honghou any chance. Since Honghou has been judged as a pure program that cannot be communicated, Ethan is even more lazy to talk nonsense and blow up the matter - he remembered that Honghou in the main computer room can only be regarded as a subprogram, and the real main program should be hidden in the bottom computer room.
"Is Queen Hong obsessed with executing the World Destruction Plan because she is a subroutine?"
Thinking of this, Ethan wanted to slap himself, why did he find a reason for a broken computer? Since he insisted on doing the right thing, he must firmly treat it as an enemy. Whether the subprogramme is not different from him.
Install, blast!
At the same time, the laser emitter in the channel was destroyed, and the entire channel was blown up in a mess; then the door opposite was blown up, and only then did everyone dare to enter the channel and enter the main room.
Ethan didn't go in, there was nothing worthy of his attention in the host room. He was still here, urging Kaplan to find a hidden control program to enter the lower level.
But Kaplan struggled for a long time but couldn't find it. In addition to the zombies that started to appear, the constant sound of gunfire made the computer expert even more anxious.
"Are you sure there is such a thing?"
“There must be.”
The previous reaction of Honghou has confirmed this point, which is nothing more than hiding deeper.
At this moment, Honghou, who had been pretending to be dead, suddenly appeared in front of Ethan and proposed a deal: "If you prevent them from closing my program, I can send you to the lower level."
Ethan was stunned at first, and then wanted to agree, but immediately thought of the previous behavior of the queen... So he firmly rejected the proposal: "I have given you a chance, but you refused! I never negotiated with the enemy that I was about to kill, and you don't have the capital to negotiate terms with me!"
Almost at the same time as he finished speaking, the entire hive suddenly lost power, and the emergency backup energy was launched. The hive, which was originally as bright as daytime, was left with only the emergency lights on.
This situation means that the red queen has been closed.
