This World Is Quite Sick

As everyone was thinking, Brother Ah San's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with terror, as if he had thought of something.

"Them! It's them! These monsters dormant in the incubation pods! Run!"

However, the one who first sensed the danger was grabbed back by the female soldier Rain who was guarding him, and Brother Ah San's eyes were filled with despair.

"Damn it! Lickers! Tight formation! Form a crossfire!"

At this moment, Kevin suddenly realized what was happening and immediately cursed, telling the scattered people to gather together and seal off the entire passage with a dense firepower net.

The dull sound of bullets penetrating flesh came one after another, but it did not stop the strange friction sound from approaching.

After dozens of breaths, the first monster, with its skin peeled off and its red muscles exposed, swung its four sharp claws and crawled rapidly on the wall.

Before they could arrive, the stench from afar assailed their nostrils, and everyone seemed to see the exposed brain in the air trembling rhythmically.

The thin firepower net could not stop the approaching swarm of Lickers, so Kevin immediately made a decisive move and ordered the troops to retreat to both sides.

At the same time, Jill and the other fully equipped RPD members immediately pulled grenades from their tactical vests and threw them into the passage crowded with Lickers one after another.

"Boom!" A violent explosion sent up billowing smoke and dust. The well-trained members took the opportunity to fire short bursts and retreat, transferring to other safe areas.

However, after moving a short distance away, before everyone could catch their breath, the chilling climbing sound came from all around again.

"Let me see, there must be another passage to the 100th floor here!"

Computer expert Kaplan looked anxious and immediately crouched down to open his mini-computer, carefully searching for the design blueprints of The Hive.

"Bang!" A dull gunshot echoed in the hall. Kaplan looked at his mini-computer, which had been pierced through the screen and was emitting black smoke, and suddenly stood up.

"Why!" he exclaimed in frustration, looking angrily at Kevin, who had fired the shot.

For hackers, computers were their lifeline, let alone a way to leave this cursed place!

"We've been exposed, you idiot!"

"It's because of this thing that the not-fully-recovered Red Queen detected our location!"

Kevin lowered his voice, his tone icy, and at the same time, he gestured with his eyes for everyone to slowly retreat.

Dr. Isaacs! The black commander's eyes turned cold. Only this high-ranking executive, whose temperament had changed drastically, had the authority to mobilize the Red Queen.

Moreover, the timing of the Lickers' appearance was too coincidental!

"First, go to the Red Queen's main control room, take out her motherboard, and shut this thing down! Quickly!"

Kevin grabbed his submachine gun and fired a burst at the incessantly ringing ventilation shaft, forcing back the Licker that had quietly climbed up.

Then, he ordered the team to maintain their formation and quickly advance towards the Red Queen's main control room.

Section 35 Chapter Thirty-Four: The "Blessing" of a Teammate Killer

The Hive, 100th Floor.

The middle-aged man with a grim face looked at the synchronized monitoring screen with a strange smile, as if he had found a new toy.

"S.T.A.R.S, belonging to the Raccoon City Police Department, the elite of the elite. And an Umbrella Squad on the surface?"

"Just right, I'll use you to test the practicality of my latest research results..."

After pressing several buttons in the control room, Dr. Isaacs' expression became fanatical. He stood up and looked back into the laboratory, at the brown-haired woman in a straitjacket floating in a glass incubation pod.

"The gospel that will change the world has been sown. Only the lambs who endure the selection will be qualified to become the masters of Eden!"

"Thank you for helping me find a shortcut to human evolution!"

Dr. Isaacs played with a tube of blue liquid in his hand, bowed to the sleeping Alice, and then his lips curled into a slight smile.

Meanwhile, the middle level of The Hive.

The sound of messy footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. The tightly formed group looked around nervously.

They had finally put some distance between themselves and the Lickers! After confirming their safety, they leaned against the wall, panting heavily.

Those monsters, adept at climbing and agile, were not only elusive but could even dodge the muzzles of their guns, making them a nightmare!

It was impossible to stop them with just crossfire because they didn't have enough bullets.

Therefore, the only way was to use grenades and C4 to blow up the escape routes...

Their rear was now in ruins, and it was basically impossible to go back the way they came. There was only one path forward.

And at the bottom of The Hive, there was a train specifically for high-ranking personnel to escape. This was their only remaining chance.

However, before everyone could catch their breath, the grating climbing sound came from the ventilation ducts above again.

"The elevator! The elevator is here! Quickly!"

J.D., the assault team member of the Umbrella Squad scouting ahead, discovered that the elevator, whose indicator light had been dim before, was now operating again. He was overjoyed and quickly pressed the door-opening button.

However, as he watched the elevator door slowly open with a look of surprise, the expression on his face froze!

Dozens of pale, rotting arms directly dragged him into the elevator car filled with the undead, and their foul mouths frantically tore off pieces of flesh from his body.

"No... gurgle..." The assault team member cried out in terror, finally being drowned in the blood that poured into his throat.

This was because his windpipe had been bitten off by a zombie with one eyeball hanging from its face, leaving only the upper half of its body.

Damn it! I forgot about this! It was too late to do anything, Kevin cursed angrily.

"J.D.!" Rain, the female soldier who was closest to the assault trooper, tried to rush forward to rescue him.

"Bang!" But a gunshot from behind directly shattered the assault trooper's skull, freeing the unlucky guy who was struggling to survive.

"You!" The hot-tempered Latino soldier, seeing his teammate shot dead, angrily aimed his gun at the instigator.

"Enough! He's beyond saving! If we don't go now, we'll all die here!"

The Black commander shoved Rain's gun away and roared in her ear, nearly shattering her eardrums.

The female soldier snorted and defiantly held her submachine gun, leading the way to find an exit.

Leon, worried about her safety, immediately took the Uzi submachine gun hanging around his neck and followed closely.

To block the Licker's pursuit, Kevin signaled Barry, who then stuffed their last grenade into the ventilation duct.

While the monsters were delayed by the obstacles along the way, the group took the opportunity to descend to the next level.

However, as if triggered by some signal, the electronic locks on many rooms that had been sealed suddenly opened, and swarms of pale-skinned zombies poured out.

The group was driven almost to madness by these endless, emerging horrors.

Every time they passed a door, they would subconsciously fire a burst to confirm it was safe.

But due to the frequent shooting, their ammunition was almost depleted, while the zombies surrounding and intercepting them relentlessly pursued.

"Through that door is the Red Queen's main control area! Hurry!"

Leon and Rain, who were scouting ahead with the electronic map, finally reached their destination just as the group was about to be surrounded and killed by the endless bio-monsters.

"As long as we restart the Red Queen, we can use the backend to force-close the electronic doors and lock these things in a designated area!"

Kaplan, the computer expert, immediately and excitedly offered a solution.

The thrilling escape all the way had already pushed the technical expert, who was not good at combat, to the brink of mental collapse.

When he saw the gruesome death of the assault trooper J.D., Kaplan even felt a sense of despair, as if he wanted to shoot himself.

Fortunately, God blessed them, and they managed to survive!

"We'll cover the rear! You guys go first!"

Watching the zombie horde gradually approaching from the corner, the Black commander, Barry, and Ada formed a makeshift firing line, actively buying time for the other team members to retreat.

Kevin, Jill, and others protected the less combat-capable female medic and the computer expert Kaplan, following closely behind Leon and Rain, as they charged into the corridor leading to the Red Queen's control room.

A corridor? Something felt… wrong?

The moment Kevin stepped into the corridor, looking at the strange tube-like objects on the walls, an ominous premonition made his heart pound.

"Beep! Intruder detected, preparing for full-scale disinfection!"

A young girl's voice came from the speakers above them. The corridor door, which had been open, suddenly closed, blocking the last three people outside.

And the content of the message made Kevin's blood run cold!

A laser corridor! Damn it! It's a trap!

At this moment, they rushed to the sealed door, preparing to break it down by force.

Kevin looked at the slowly advancing blue light at the end of the corridor, his eyes filled with despair.

Even the only computer expert was locked into the laser corridor; they were finished! Utterly doomed!

I shouldn't have teamed up with that bastard Leon! He can't even lead the way without getting us into a laser corridor, what a screw-up!

His chaotic thoughts, changing rapidly in his mind, finally settled when Kevin's vacant gaze fell upon Jill, who was standing in front of him. His strong will to survive was reignited.

"Get down!"

In their desperate situation, the commander frantically recalled the laser corridor's attack pattern and, as he roared, tackled Jill to the ground.

As for the others, they would have to fend for themselves...

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!" Amidst the eerie sound of tearing cloth, Kevin slightly raised his head.

He saw that the female military doctor standing in place and the two Umbrella Squad members next to her had frozen expressions.

Leon, most sensitive to danger, at Kevin's warning, tackled Rain and Kaplan beside him, narrowly escaping.

And under everyone's terrified gaze, three "statues" had a red line appear on their necks.

Then, their entire heads fell off from the smoothly severed necks, rolling even to the sides of a few survivors.

Here we go again! Looking at the dim light that reappeared at the end of the corridor, Kevin frantically pulled Jill up and retreated repeatedly.

Leon and the other two, their faces pale, followed suit, pressing themselves against the door.

It seemed the laser was moving from bottom to top, and if they just lay down, they could...

Just as Kevin was comforting himself, recalling the general sequence of events, the expression on his face instantly froze!

Because that damned thing had changed into a grid-like killing pattern covering the entire area at a distance of three meters from them!

Section 36 Chapter Thirty-Five: Hope in Despair (Daily Request for Recommendations and Collections)

In the nick of time, the laser corridor, as bright as day, instantly plunged into darkness.

And that deadly laser grid, which had been less than three centimeters from everyone, extinguished in the blink of an eye.

"Finally, made it!"

Amidst a heavenly whisper, the female agent Ada, holding a black electromagnetic interference gun, pushed open the door and gracefully walked in, helping Kevin up.

Thank you, Mother Mary Ozawa!

Thank you, Auntie Wang! No! Sister Wang!

From now on, you are my only goddess!

Kevin, who had been so close to death but finally survived, was almost moved to tears.

He almost got sliced up and packaged... Fortunately, Sister Wang had an electromagnetic interference pistol on her, which could hack and disable some electronic devices.

Although it took some time, three more team members had met their end.

But at least, he was still alive...

"Can't hold them off anymore! Let's go!"

Although still shaken, it was clear the group didn't have much time to process their emotions.

Because the Black commander and Barry, who were holding off the zombies outside, had already emptied the magazines of their submachine guns and switched to less powerful handguns. They wouldn't last much longer.

"Retreat into the corridor and secure the entrance!"

"Kaplan, Ada, go to the main control room and shut down the Red Queen!"
