The second plot character appeared, and Ling Yi wanted to be a sneaky schemer behind the scenes!
"Sir, I can hack into the bank's server, change your account balance, and then place an order online for home delivery," JARVIS said calmly and steadily.
The voice, the tone, it was as if he were talking about something trivial!
"Then let's arrange it!" Ling Yi waved his hand!
"Yes, sir."
Obedient, sensible, efficient, thumbs up!
JARVIS was incredibly efficient; the package arrived before 1 p. m.
A Satellite phone, a Bluetooth headset, and plenty of food and drinking water.
Ling Yi didn't know how long he would be staying here, so he was prepared.
These things are enough for me to survive in this basement for a week or two.
"Sir, actually, the safest place right now is the Hive."
Ling Yi was eating a sandwich when he heard JARVIS's words. He paused for a moment, then said, "Are you kidding me? The Hive is full of zombies, where is it safe?"
"Sir, I'm referring to the underground of the Hive, the hibernation chambers in the upper levels of Umbrella."
"The power of a magnetic storm bomb is terrifying; although it doesn't emit radiation, its destructive force is extremely strong."
"Otherwise, the Umbrella Corporation wouldn't have used this to clear out the zombies in Raccoon City."
"This basement isn't safe right now, but the inside of the Hive is absolutely capable of withstanding the impact of a magnetic bomb."
Ling Yi thought JARVIS's words made sense, but he didn't want to go to the Hive.
To put it bluntly, he wasn't ready to face zombies.
What if I get bitten? What if...?
Its core is Monster-Killing Level-Up System, System Shop, and experience points.
The world is vast, but my life is the most important thing; I can't take any risks.
Absolutely not!
The Hive may seem safe, but there's a Red Queen inside—the Old Liu in the Hive.
He didn't want to be targeted by the Red Queen.
The key point is that JARVIS said that he and the Red Queen are likely to be evenly matched.
To take down the Red Queen, you must control or eliminate her in an instant.
Otherwise, JARVIS's existence would become known to the Umbrella Corporation's higher-ups.
Then there will be even more Roland.
Of course, being cautious is one thing, but you can't do nothing, and you certainly can't end up like the Protagonist and supporting characters in Alice, going through some kind of post-apocalyptic Qiusheng.
A life of near-death experiences, a constant struggle between life and death, a life where one is neither alive nor dead—it's unbearable!
Even if there is contact, it can't be direct. Isn't it better to stay behind the scenes as Old Liu?
We'll be enjoying hot pot, singing songs, and grinding for experience points while having a great time.
As long as you have experience points, you can find anything in the System Shop.
Therefore, Ling Yi needs to play it safe, but not completely.
However, there are a few things that need to be confirmed now!
"How long until the zombie outbreak is complete?" Ling Yi asked.
"The first part of the story should be released tonight. The first part is very short, only lasting one night. Of course, there's another possibility!"
Ling Yi gradually adapted, and his intelligence began to kick in.
"You mean if the story starts with that reporter Mat's sister, then the timeline becomes uncertain, right?"
"First, determine the time."
"Okay sir, I'm looking up the relevant information, please wait a moment!"
Just a moment later, JARVIS's voice rang out again.
" Matt Addison, 27 years old, a freelance journalist specializing in exposing the dark side of things. He has done many big things and is on the Dark Web's bounty list, worth 2 million."
" Mat's phone location has been pinpointed!"
As JARVIS finished speaking, a surveillance video from a webcam appeared on the Computer screen.
This is a coffee shop, and by the window, Matt Addison is typing something on a Computer.
This is the second familiar plot character that Ling Yi has seen.
The screen was split in two: one half showed the coffee shop's security camera footage, and the other half showed Mat's Computer desktop.
It was all in English, which Ling Yi couldn't understand, but he could still recognize the Umbrella Corporation logo.
"This is the information Mat gathered about the Umbrella Corporation's secret biological experiments, but unfortunately, Mat lacks crucial evidence," JARVIS explained.
Ling Yi remained silent, stroking his chin in deep thought.
In the video, Mat looks somewhat anxious, glancing at his phone every now and then.
It is 4:30 PM now.
" Lisa Addison, age 25, biological researcher at the Umbrella Corporation's Raccoon City Hive branch!"
"At 8:22 PM on July 22, 1998, just two days ago, Mat and Lisa had their last phone call, which lasted 3 minutes and 15 seconds. I found the recording on Mat's phone."
"Why record the conversation? Why record a phone call with your own sister?" Ling Yi didn't understand.
"Sir, perhaps you can understand this as a reporter's habit!"
Ling Yi nodded. Okay, that's not important.
JARVIS then played the recording.
It was all in English. Ling Yi couldn't say he couldn't understand it at all; he could understand "yes" and "no," but that was about it.
What did they say?
" Lisa said she had found an insider at Umbrella Corporation, a high-ranking senior security officer, but she did not reveal the person's name."
Alice!
"Yes, based on the plot, the informant Lisa mentioned is Alice."
" Mat and Lisa agreed on the phone that if Lisa succeeds, she will meet him at this cafe on the 24th, which is this afternoon, and then hand over the item to Mat."
"However, since the last phone call two days ago, Mat has been unable to contact Lisa. Lisa's phone has been switched off."
So, Lisa is dead now!
"So, tonight, or tomorrow night, the first part of the story will officially begin?"
"Yes, sir!"
At that moment, an idea popped into Ling Yi's mind.
If all the zombies in the Hive are killed, that should yield a lot of experience points, right?
But how can I ensure that I can kill zombies and gain experience without exposing myself?
Ling Yi tapped his fingers on the Computer screen and asked, " JARVIS, if I asked you to hack into the Hive, could you do it?"
"Sure, but the Red Queen will definitely find out!"
"What would happen if you fought the Red Queen?"
"Sir, thanks to the rules, the Red Queen will not cause me any harm."
Ling Yi's eyes lit up. "So, in other words, your defense is invincible, the Red Queen can't do anything to you, and it's impossible for her to use you to pinpoint our location."
"Yes!"
Ling Yi clapped his hands hard. What was there to be afraid of?
"Suppose you send miniature robots inside Hive, could you remotely control them to kill zombies?"
"Sir, the success rate is over 80%, this plan is feasible. However, the current problem is how to bring the microrobots into the Hive."
Ling Yi stood up, somewhat excitedly asking, "Can the miniature robots automatically infiltrate the Hive?"
"Sir, we cannot directly infiltrate; the signal data used to control the micro-robots will inevitably be detected by the Red Queen."
"If the Red Queen activates the automated defense system of the Hive, trapping the micro-robots in a confined space, then I will be powerless to stop it."
"For the microrobots to successfully infiltrate undetected, they must be in a dormant state, and ideally, someone should be able to bring them into the Hive."
Looking at Mat's somewhat anxious expression on the monitor, Ling Yi said, "Try contacting him!"
Meanwhile, Senmu Café in Raccoon City.
After waiting for almost an hour, Mat finally confirmed that Lisa probably wouldn't be able to come.
Since losing contact with Lisa, Mat has been very worried about his sister.
Before coming to the coffee shop, Mat already had a guess in mind.
Therefore, he made two preparations.
Through a hacker friend, he hacked into the Raccoon City Inspection Bureau's data server and created a fake police identity.
If Lisa doesn't come, then he'll have to sneak into the Hive tonight.
He has located the Hive in a private villa not far from Raccoon City Hospital.
Mat glanced at his phone again, shook his head, and got up to leave.
"Ding-dong!"
Just then, a text message notification popped up.
"Is that a text message from Lisa?" Mat quickly grabbed his phone!
" Mat, I can help you find your sister."
Mat frowned as he read the text message.
"Ding-dong!" The second text message arrived.
"A major incident has occurred inside the Hive, and it is now completely sealed off. With your fake inspector identity, you have no way of getting in."
"Who are you? What major incident are you talking about?" Mat replied immediately, but the other party's number was unknown, and the reply failed.
"Ding-dong!"
"You can call me L. Umbrella Corporation has developed a virus, T. Once this T-virus is leaked, the entire world will become the apocalypse, a biological apocalypse."
"Ding-dong!"
" The T-virus has leaked into the Hive, the Umbrella's underground base in Raccoon City. Now, the entire Hive is teeming with zombies and Licker!"
"Ding-dong!"
"Once infected with the T-virus, a person will die, but not completely; instead, they will become a living dead driven only by instinct—a zombie."
"And the so-called instinct is to eat... people. Due to a genetic defect, zombies have an instinctive craving for the genes of living people."
"Anyone scratched or bitten by a zombie will be infected with the T-virus and turn into a zombie themselves. If the zombies inside the Hive are released..."
Mat trembled. He knew the Umbrella Corporation was researching viruses, but he didn't know it was this terrible one.
Zombies, the undead, eaters!
If what this person said is true, then what about his own sister...?
"Ding-dong!"
" Mat, I'm not sure if your sister is still alive, but time is running out. If you want to save her, you have to get into the Hive. I can help you."
Mat didn't know whether he should trust this man, but he knew it would be difficult for him to get into the Hive himself.
He was well aware of how powerful the Umbrella Corporation would become in the future.
They have a better understanding of the Hive's security capabilities.
Even if he gets into the Hive, how will he find Lisa? And once he finds Lisa, how will he bring Lisa out?
"Ding-dong!"
"My goal is to eliminate the zombies within the Hive, but my identity is special; if I appear, I will be immediately discovered by the Umbrella Corporation. Therefore, I also need your help."
If you agree, please reply "OK". We don't have much time; you only have one minute to consider!
