Resident Evil (4)

　　Currently, Misaki was leaning against a piece of glass.

　　It was a thick glass wall in the laboratory.

　　The lab was completely filled with water, and a corpse emerged from the water, its pale face smashed against the glass, next to Misaki's head.

　　And she just turned her head and looked at it!

　　The horror that was so close made her feel uneasy.

　　Ryota didn't feel much better, his heart was beating fast, he was almost shaking like a quail.

　　What he was most afraid of was this kind of thing, which belonged to the type who wouldn't turn off the light and sleep for a month after watching a horror movie.

　　"Huuu..."

　　Barely holding back his fear, Ryota took a few steps forward and pulled Misaki up.

　　"Are you oke?"

　　The little girl's hand was soft and slightly cold.

　　Ryota prays that she is not afraid to step out of any psychological shadow.

　　"No, it's fine. Thank You."

　　After Misaki stood up, she couldn't help but raise her hands and pat her flat chest, a frightened look on her face.

　　"Is that a corpse, or..." She asked shakily, "Zombies?"

　　"It should be a zombie."

　　Only Inaho was calm, without a change of emotion on his face, and analyzed in an even tone:

　　"The task force captain previously mentioned that anesthetic gas would put people to sleep for four hours, which proves that at least four hours had passed by the side of the hive."

　　"Judging from the information provided by Shiro-chan, the zombification didn't take long."

　　"It's just... the zombie doesn't move much, it's very strange..."

　　"...So why Shiro-chan?"

Ryota felt a little weak in his heart.

　　If I was him before, he would not have reported his previous guild code name.

　　Therefore, when Misaki and Inaho introduced themselves for the first time, they immediately reported their real names.

　　"Captain, no, the entire floor is flooded, and there is no way to go to the main engine room through the laboratory."

　　At this time, the task force that had gone to investigate the situation returned and reported to James.

　　James' face sank: "It seems that our progress will be left behind."

　　"Not necessarily," said Chad Kaplan, who was manipulating the tiny computer: "We can go back and take a shortcut through Restaurant B, and we should catch up."

　　"Where is the route?" He asked.

　　"I'm sure, everyone is following me."

　　Chad walked back the way he came.

　　The crowd followed him.

　　A few minutes later, restaurant B arrived.

　　Chad entered the hacked password towards the iron gate, and after the gate was opened, everyone entered one by one.

　　"Chad, are you sure this is a… restaurant?"

　　A team member exclaimed.

　　"I... I don't know, that's how it appears on the map."

　　Chad was also taken aback by the sight in front of him.

　　What appeared in front of everyone was a vast hall, the most striking at a glance were the tens of tall boxes made of steel that were displayed next to the pillars.

　　There is a display screen on the box showing the environment parameters, which looks like some kind of cultivation tank.

　　All kinds of pipes were plugged into it, and the electricity was running, everything looked very strange.

　　There seems to be a hidden secret hidden here.

　　Where does it look like a restaurant?

　　"Okay, don't worry about things unrelated to the mission, let's hurry."

　　James was also taken aback by the scene in front of him, but he was an officer after all, so he immediately calmed down and made an arrangement:

　　"Jedi and Ryan stay here, guard the exit, and the others follow me to the computer room."

　　At the same time.

　　Ryota reminded his teammates in a low voice:

　　"This is it! Look at that iron box, full of Lickers. If the power goes out, the Licker will gradually wake up."

　　After speaking, he looked at Misaki and asked:

　　"Is your super power responding?"

　　"No," Misaki shook her head, "It seems that Licker is no longer human. It is estimated that the genetic mutation rate is too great. It's not human at all. The operating system in the body is different from that of humans."

　　"This is different..." Ryota felt a little regretful.

　　But relieved to think about it.

　　Lickers can live with their heads uncovered, can tear through plate armor with a single claw, and can evolve physically after absorbing other people's genes. It is rather reluctant to call them humans.

　　"Now that we've arrived at our destination, let's start planning."

　　Inaho made arrangements:

　　"We split up, you go to the main computer room, I stay here to plant the bomb."

　　"Shokuhou, the two people who were left behind by the task force, I leave it to you. "

　　"Un, leave it to me."

　　Misaki suppressed the shock brought by dozens of cultivation tanks, took out a different remote control from the branded bag slung on her body, and silently pressed it on the two members of the task force.

　　Suddenly, the eyes of the two became dazed.

　　Category 330.

　　It was one of the abilities covered by [Mental Out] that could render the person it targets unable to recognize time travel for a period of time.

　　"They can't recognize the passage of time for the time being, and won't interfere with your actions."

　　Misaki said to Inaho.

　　In fact, it's the best way to give these two people time and let them help plant the bomb together.

　　But... it would be bad if the system counted Licker heads on these two people.

　　This means they will spend less points.

　　"I will finish it as soon as possible." Inaho nodded "I'll leave it up to you to negotiate with the [Red Queen], just do as I said before."

　　"By the way, we only have 14 bombs, right?"

　　Ryota looked at the surroundings of Restaurant B, frowned, and asked Inaho:

　　"No matter how I look at it, there are no less than 30 tanks here. Can it be blown up?"

　　"No problem in theory."

　　Inaho explained:

　　"These are some environmental stabilization devices. In my experience, for a device like this to operate safely, the external environment must be stable. If it gets hit hard, it will explode on its own."

　　"According to the structure of the hall and the location of the culture tank, I originally made a bomb placement model. If there is no accident, the detonation range can cover the entire B Restaurant."

　　"In that case...let's start acting."

　　After hearing Inaho's words, Ryota breathed a sigh of relief.

　　Since then, the three of them split up at Restaurant B.

　　Ryota and Misaki quickly followed Alice and the others.

　　...

　　Outside the main computer room, everyone stopped.

　　Ahead was a long and narrow passage, and two iron doors inlaid with tempered glass at the front and back blocked the way.

　　That was the only way to the [Red Queen's] main engine room.

　　Chad's technicians were destroying the [Red Queen's] last block, and both doors opened automatically.

　　At the same time, Ryota looked at Misaki.

　　The latter understood it, and secretly pressed the remote control on several people, controlled them, and prevented the task force from going to the section.

　　"Let those technicians continue to break the defense system, otherwise this path will kill people."

　　Ryota reminded Misaki.

　　"Are there really lasers?"

　　Misaki looked at the passage ahead, and hesitated.

　　"Of course! The laser tunnel is a very famous scary point in the [Resident Evil] series. If we don't stop it, three members of the task force will be dismembered by the lasers, especially the captain, who will be directly divided into many pieces."

　　Ryota's tone was very serious.

　　Misaki subconsciously made that scene, feeling uncomfortable in her stomach, and quickly motioned for Chad to keep rambling on.

　　"By the way, Shokuhou, I'm a little curious. Before we sign the teammate agreement, how many zombies is it your main task to exterminate?"

　　Ryota suddenly asked.

　　"15." Misaki asked back, "What about you?"

　　"...5."

　　"Pfft… Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to, I just couldn't help myself."

Misaki slightly covered the corner of her mouth with her hand.
