Threat

"Really?!" The mercenary captain's expression changed slightly when he heard Ye Siyu say there was danger outside. Although Ye Siyu was a very strange fellow, after everything that had just happened in the laser corridor, the captain didn't think he would lie to him. There had to be danger.

"Rain, J.D., bring that prisoner over here." The mercenary captain immediately took out his radio and gave the order to Rain and J.D., who were guarding Matt in Dining Hall B.

"Roger that, sir," Rain replied over the radio.

While Ye Siyu and the mercenary captain were talking, Zheng Zha and the others all watched Ye Siyu curiously. They really didn't know how to describe him. If he was a good person, he had chased the chubby guy and the middle-aged woman with an axe at the very beginning, then smashed one of Mou Gang's thighs with it.

But if he was a bad person, he had just saved everyone from the deadly laser corridor single-handedly, like an angel. He was a mass of contradictions.

As everyone pondered what sort of person Ye Siyu really was, Rain and J.D. brought Matt to the central control room.

"Sir, what happened?" When Rain returned and saw a comrade on the floor with his left hand wrapped in gauze, she immediately asked in confusion.

"Ah, it's a long story. Let's deal with those things later. First, we'll go in and take care of the Flame Queen." The mercenary captain didn't want to say much. What had happened today had been truly exhausting, so he merely sighed and offered no further explanation.

When that lowlife Spence Parks heard the mercenary captain say they were still going in, he shouted, "Continue? Continue what? You've got to be kidding! I'm not going into that corridor!"

The mercenary captain ignored Spence Parks and turned to Kaplan. The computer-savvy mercenary immediately broke out in a sweat. "Don't worry, I've shut down all the defense systems, all of them..."

The mercenary captain pressed him. "All of them? Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I'm absolutely sure." Kaplan nodded emphatically.

With Kaplan's confirmation, the mercenary captain nodded to the others, then carefully entered the corridor that had put his life in danger earlier.

"Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, all of you go in too." After the mercenaries, Alice and the others had gone in, Ye Siyu, standing beside the medic, spoke to Zheng Zha and the others in the corner of the central control room. They had been chatting as they waited for the zombie plot to officially begin.

"Huh?!" Zheng Zha and the others froze at Ye Siyu's words. They had all seen the movie, and although they didn't remember it very clearly, they did remember that Alice and the others would return to Dining Hall B after shutting down the Red Queen. So they had been planning to wait here.

"Let's wait here for the captain and the others to come out. They'll shut down the Flame Queen soon," said the medic, who was tending to the wounded.

"Click!"

But the answer she received was the muzzle of a rifle. Ye Siyu had picked up the wounded mercenary's rifle from the floor at some point. Clearly, if she refused, he would shoot.

"I... I understand," the medic stammered, staring down the dark barrel.

"Zheng Zha, help Mou Gang inside. Li Xiaoyi, Fatty, you two carry this mercenary in." After the medic gave in, Ye Siyu turned to Zheng Zha and the others.

"Do as he says," Zhang Jie, who had been silent beside them, said at last. At the same time, he gave Ye Siyu a long look. He wanted to figure out exactly what Ye Siyu was trying to do. With that, he was the first to enter the laser corridor, leaving Zheng Zha and the others looking at one another.

But they soon did as Ye Siyu had said, carrying the wounded mercenary and Mou Gang into the room housing the Red Queen's mainframe.

"Why did you come in?" The mercenary captain, who was preparing to set up the capacitor device to force the Red Queen to shut down, looked puzzled when he saw Zheng Zha and the others enter. It was especially strange that they had brought the two wounded men in with them.

At the mercenary captain's question, Zheng Zha and the others all turned their heads. Ye Siyu came in with the medic, dragging a fire axe in one hand and holding up a rifle in the other. Everyone in the mainframe room immediately realized that Ye Siyu, the last to enter, was the reason they had come in.

"Ye, what are you doing?!" the mercenary captain asked, looking at Ye Siyu in confusion.

"I just want you to understand one thing. Red Queen, I know you've been watching us. Show yourself." After entering the mainframe room, Ye Siyu spoke to one of its cameras.

"Bzz! Bzz!"

As soon as Ye Siyu finished speaking, a beam of red light shot out of the camera.

The moment the red light appeared, the mercenaries present jumped in fright. Having just been through the laser corridor, they all thought it was a laser weapon.

But the red light soon formed the image of a ten-year-old girl, and a clear young voice rang out. "Get out! Get out, you can't stay here!"

"What is that?" Alice asked, somewhat surprised by the little girl formed from red light.

"Don't believe anything she says. She's the holographic projection of the Flame Queen, Red Queen for short. She was modeled after the head programmer's daughter. She'll lie to us, confuse us, and do everything she can to stop us from shutting her down," Kaplan, who knew about the Flame Queen, said as he installed the discharge device.

"I don't recommend doing that. If I lose power, I'll lose control of the system. Then those things will get out. I'm begging you," the Red Queen said, continuing to try to stop Kaplan.

"Get out of here." Kaplan wasn't in the mood to talk to the Red Queen. She had nearly gotten his teammates killed by the lasers just now, so how could he possibly listen to her? He immediately pulled the switch for the discharge device out of his bag.

"Kaplan, wait. Let me borrow the switch for a moment." Just as Kaplan was about to press the switch and make the discharge device shut down the Red Queen, Ye Siyu suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"Hm?" Stopped from pressing the switch for the discharge device, Kaplan looked at Ye Siyu in confusion. He didn't know why Ye Siyu was stopping him.

"If you don't want to be shut down, show us the Hive's research footage. Otherwise, your only fate is to be shut down," Ye Siyu said calmly. As he spoke, he walked over to Kaplan and took the discharge device's controller from his hand.
