Ling Yi never expected to come into contact with a character in the story in this way.
"Okay, this is my first time doing business with Easterners. I've heard that you Easterners are very good at bargaining, and I've seen it for myself today."
"Consider it a compliment." Ling Yi was somewhat puzzled. Could this Lower Chamber be a temporary base for these Hire?
"I want to see what's inside."
Kaplan glanced at his watch and finally nodded.
Kaplan is still here, proving that the Hire squad has not yet entered the Hive.
In other words, Ling Yi still has time to build his shelter.
This is good news for Ling Yi.
Just as Ling Yi had expected, the Lower Chamber did not contain many supplies, only a few Computer desks, a few sofas, and a few beds.
This place doesn't look like a warehouse at all; it looks more like a makeshift meeting room.
But Ling Yi didn't say anything more.
As a Hire, even a skilled one, Kaplan's vigilance was unmatched by that of an ordinary person.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make.
The Lower Chamber is quite large, covering an area of over 400 square meters, almost equivalent to a small underground parking lot.
Moreover, it's about fifteen meters above the ground, so as long as the entrance is sealed off, it becomes a natural shelter.
But to think you can stop giant mushrooms? That's wishful thinking.
Ling Yi wasn't sure how far to go, but he just wanted to make it as hard as possible.
According to the original storyline, the Umbrella Corporation did not use a giant mushroom bomb, but rather some kind of high-tech explosive, which, although Li Qiang, did not emit radiation.
You should know that beneath the Hive base lies an even bigger secret of the Umbrella Corporation. If this bomb is radioactive, they themselves will be the first to suffer.
In any case, all Ling Yi needs is for his shelter to withstand the impact of the explosion.
Let's play it safe for now.
As for what happens in the future, we'll talk about that later.
Nothing is more important than saving your life.
Nodding in satisfaction, Ling Yi extended his hand to Kaplan: "Deal!"
Kaplan didn't waste any time; he immediately signed the contract, took the money, and left.
With Kaplan's departure, Ling Yi realized that the plot was about to begin, perhaps even tonight.
Based on the timeline of the movies, the T-virus will not fully erupt until about a week after the first movie ends, when the Umbrella Corporation re-enters the Hive.
At this point, the T-virus had progressed to the Second Tier, meaning it had changed from airborne transmission to contact transmission.
But none of this has anything to do with Ling Yi.
At this moment, he is browsing through the System Shop for the most useful items to him.
The AI program " JARVIS," from the Marvel Universe, costs 25 experience points—the experience points of one and a half stray dogs. It's incredibly cheap; I bought it.
The pistol with unlimited ammo comes from an infinite novel world. It's worth 10 experience points, less than the experience points of a stray dog. It's incredibly cheap, so I bought it.
With 20 experience points remaining, Ling Yi thought for a moment and bought two thousand miniature robots from the Superpower Squad world, each worth 20 experience points—incredibly cheap.
Ling Yi really wanted to ask his system, "Dude, are you offering a rock-bottom price promotion?"
The experience points from four wandering foes were exchanged for a JARVIS intelligent program, along with a server.
One pistol with unlimited ammo, and two thousand miniature robots.
Or is it that we're currently offering a new driver discount, with everything at rock-bottom prices?
Who cares? I 'West City, nothing else matters.
The world is vast, but life is the most important thing.
If possible, just make it invincible first.
With a wave of his hand, Ling Yi created a super-large Computer, or rather, a server, against the wall.
Ling Yi exchanged JARVIS because he needed to stay informed about the outside world.
As for who is better between JARVIS and Red Queen, since they haven't been compared, it's impossible to tell; perhaps they each have their own strengths.
However, Ling Yi would never allow them to "fight," as it would be pointless and would expose JARVIS's presence.
The unlimited pistols are naturally for grinding experience later.
Armed with a pistol of unlimited ammo, Ling Yi specifically chose one with a silencer. Zombies may have poor eyesight, but their ears and Sense of Smell are extremely sensitive, making the silencer crucial.
As for the micro-robots, in such an environment, they are essentially an extension of Ling Yi's body; these micro-robots are simply too useful.
In Superpower Hero 6, the villains gained immense Combat by using micro-robots, with truly incredible results.
Unfortunately, Ling Yi can only exchange for finished products, not technology.
Microrobot technology is an absolutely black technology that can't be blacker than black technology.
If the technology were available, and these miniature robots were mass-produced, Ling Yi wouldn't even need to leave his house to kill zombies and gain experience points throughout the city.
Before the time comes, let the intelligent program JARVIS control these miniature robots; will you gain experience by doing nothing?
Um, I have a Xiaoxiao question. I'm wondering if the zombies killed by the miniature robots count as my own? Or do I have to personally kill them for it to count?
Probably not.
The network cable and router in the basement were still there; Kaplan hadn't taken them when he left, and importantly, they were still connected to the internet.
That's great.
JARVIS!
"Hello sir, this JARVIS at your service!"
"Hehehe, it really is JARVIS!"
JARVIS: "..."
Ling Yi realized he had asked a pointless question, but suddenly he had this artificial intelligence that could converse with him, and it was none other than JARVIS, the famous character from the Marvel movies.
Ling Yi felt inexplicably excited.
This feeling is something outsiders can't understand.
"Ahem, JARVIS, do you know my background?"
"Yes, sir, you are a time traveler who arrived in the current Resident Evil World at 8:22:38 AM on February 27, 2024!"
"You know that?" Ling Yi, somewhat surprised.
"Sir, this is the raw data from my database."
"Can I ever go back to my Minecraft?"
"I'm sorry, there is no relevant information in my database."
Although Ling Yi had expected this, he was still somewhat disappointed.
"Do you know anything about the Resident Evil universe? I mean, the movie plot."
"Yes, sir!"
"So, between you and the Red Queen, who is more powerful? Could the Red Queen counter your abilities, eliminate you, or control you?"
"Sir, my existence is governed by the rules!"
"So you're saying that even if the Red Queen is more powerful than you, she can't do anything to you?"
That's one way to understand it!
"What do you think I should do now? If his T-virus is leaked, will I get infected?"
"Please rest assured, sir. Although the T-virus can initially spread through the air, its transmission distance is very short due to density issues."
"Moreover, due to inertia, it will lose its airborne transmission properties after a maximum of two hours."
"The reason why the virus outbreak in the movie was so rapid was deliberately orchestrated by the Umbrella Corporation."
"I suggest you wait three hours before starting to hunt zombies."
Listening to JARVIS's suggestion, Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.
JARVIS knew he needed to gain experience points, so he naturally understood his Monster-Slaying Level-Up System.
The confusion and tension I felt after being transported to this world were somewhat alleviated by JARVIS's words.
"If I use miniature robots to hunt zombies, will I gain experience points?" Ling Yi asked again.
"Yes, sir. The micro-robots belong to you, and using them to hunt zombies naturally counts as yours."
"Could you take over controlling the miniature robot for me?"
"Authorization is sufficient, sir!"
How to authorize?
"Sir, you may silently recite the authorization!"
Silently reciting the authorization, Ling Yi immediately thought in his mind: Authorize the WeChat robot to JARVIS for control.
"Sir, the authorization has been received!"
As JARVIS finished speaking, the miniature robots that had been stored in a small square box lined up and ran out.
Just like an ant, it fell to the ground.
The miniature robots, each only the size of a paperclip and the size of a cold Capsule, are made of pure black cesium.
Two thousand miniature robots laid out together, about 30 centimeters long, 2 centimeters wide, and 2 millimeters thick, look like an elongated ruler.
Under JARVIS's control, it slithered around on the ground like a snake, incredibly agile.
I have no idea how this thing works.
Ling Yi is a complete tech Little White; his understanding of technology is limited to things like thunder and rain.
Of all the Physics, biology, and chemistry we learn in school, after forty years, we can't remember much of it.
Anyway, Ling Yi doesn't need to understand it; he just needs to know how to use it.
"Sir, you can transmit control commands through the controller, and I will perform the corrections. This will ensure precise control of the micro-robot."
At that moment, JARVIS's voice rang out again.
"A controller? This thing?" Ling Yi picked up a headband-like object and put it on his head.
How to control it?
"It can be controlled through thought!"
It sounds simple, and it really is simple to do.
Of course, this was with JARVIS's help.
Ling Yi tried to control himself, but the result was a complete mess.
They intended to make a cup, but ended up making a pot lid; they intended to make a sword, but ended up making a fork.
This thing, you really can't do without long-term training.
But with JARVIS's help, things were completely different.
That was incredibly flexible, incredibly perfect.
After discovering how useful the miniature robots were, Ling Yi had a bold idea.
If we could get our hands on a hundred thousand or even eight hundred thousand miniature robots, wouldn't we be invincible?
Let's put upgrades aside for now and get a batch of miniature robots first.
"Sir, there are a few issues that need to be addressed."
"Explain!"
"First of all, the internet bill is about to run out and needs to be paid!"
"What if I don't want to pay the fee but still want to use the internet?"
"I can hack into the local web server and modify the network accounts."
"Then let's change it!"
"Okay sir, for your second question, you'll need a mobile phone, preferably Satellite phone, and a Bluetooth headset..."
"It's too dangerous outside right now. Can I stay here and still get what you're talking about?"
