The Final Mission (Part 1)
Bang! Ignoring the bewildered Matt, Ye Siyu walked behind him, picked up a rifle, and fired at his handcuffs, shooting the chain apart. "Take Alice and leave," Ye Siyu repeated. Then he looked at the Red Queen and ordered, "Red Queen, show us the map of the underground passage from the mainframe room."
At Ye Siyu's command, a three-dimensional map appeared in the mainframe room, showing a direct route from the room to the train platform.
"Ye Siyu, what exactly are you trying to do?" Alice was just as baffled by Ye Siyu's actions as Matt. She had no idea what he was trying to do. He had just killed all the mercenaries, and now he was telling Matt to take her away. One moment it was one thing, the next it was another.
"If you don't want to die, leave with Matt." Ye Siyu didn't want to waste his breath explaining to Alice. In fact, he had no need to do this at all. He had already tested it over several rebirths, and there was no hidden mission associated with getting Alice safely onto the train out of the Hive. He was doing it simply because he wanted the plot of Resident Evil to follow its original course.
Although he didn't understand his current situation or know whether he would come to this Resident Evil world of Terror Infinity again, he still needed to make some preparations for the future.
"You..." Alice looked at him with a complicated expression.
"Alice, leave with Matt. We'll stay here and cover your retreat," Zheng Zha chimed in at that moment.
Although he didn't know what Ye Siyu was trying to do, he knew that letting Alice leave was the best and most correct choice.
"Zheng Zha, I don't have time for jokes." Hearing Zheng Zha say the same thing, Alice looked troubled. Kindhearted as she was, she didn't want to abandon her friends, even if she had known them for less than three hours.
"I'm not joking. Don't worry, we'll leave. We're just going to wait until we're sure you've gotten out safely. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Red Queen might pull something. I think Ye Siyu feels the same way," Zheng Zha explained.
Alice fell silent for a moment, then asked to make sure, "You really aren't leaving?"
Zhang Jie, Zhan Lan, and the others nodded. They had only a little over half an hour before they returned, so they had no intention of leaving with Alice and the others.
"All right." Seeing that Zheng Zha and the others really weren't going to leave, Alice could only nod helplessly.
Soon, Alice and Matt each took a gun and two magazines, then left through the sewer passage in the mainframe room.
"Ye Siyu, are you trying to get Alice and Matt to lure the Licker away?" Zhan Lan asked with a hint of curiosity after the two had left. She was a clever girl who was used to thinking in different directions, so when Ye Siyu told Alice and Matt to leave, she assumed he wanted to use them as bait.
"No." Ye Siyu shook his head.
"Really?" Zhan Lan clearly didn't believe his answer. Although she didn't know what Ye Siyu was trying to do, she was certain of one thing: everything he did was ultimately to his own advantage. So she didn't believe that letting Alice leave this time brought him no benefit.
"That Licker won't go after Alice. It'll come after us." At that moment, Zhang Jie, who hadn't spoken since they started killing zombies, drew everyone's attention.
"Why are you so sure?" Zhan Lan looked at Zhang Jie in confusion. By her reckoning, they would return to that so-called Lord God Space in less than half an hour.
Besides, they were in the Red Queen's heavily protected mainframe room. The Lickers shouldn't be able to detect them,
and were unlikely to come after them. Instead, they would go after the fleeing Alice. "Because the Lord God Space won't let people clear a level so easily, especially when the plot has been changed so drastically," Zhang Jie replied calmly, his sharp gaze turning to the composed Ye Siyu. He truly couldn't see what kind of person Ye Siyu was.
There were simply too many mysteries about him. Clever, deranged, indifferent-many such words could be applied to him, yet Zhang Jie felt that none of them reflected Ye Siyu's true nature.
Following Zhang Jie's gaze, the others also turned their attention to Ye Siyu. Each looked at him differently: Li Xiaoyi with admiration, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan with curiosity, and Mou Gang, the fat man, and the middle-aged woman with fear.
Although they still didn't understand what the Lord God Space Zhang Jie spoke of was, one thing was certain: Ye Siyu would never be weak.
"Red Queen, close the entrance on the far side of the laser corridor, then open the one on this side." As everyone watched Ye Siyu, he spoke.
As soon as Ye Siyu finished speaking, the iron door to the laser corridor opened, and he walked toward it.
Rat-a-tat!
Gunfire rang out, and Ye Siyu killed every zombie in the laser corridor.
"Zheng Zha, Li Xiaoyi, fat man, come help collect their guns," Ye Siyu called to Zheng Zha and the others, who were watching him curiously from behind, after killing the zombies in the corridor.
Zheng Zha and the others paused and looked at one another, each seeing a hint of confusion in the others' eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, that Licker will find this place in a few minutes. If you want to face it barehanded, you don't have to help," Ye Siyu said calmly, picking up a blood-soaked rifle beside a mercenary's corpse.
At his words, everyone immediately stepped forward to collect guns and ammunition.
"Ugh!" Looking at the mangled corpses, the multicolored organs and severed limbs in the laser corridor, and smelling the blood and rot that hit their noses, Zheng Zha and the others couldn't help covering their mouths. Their stomachs churned incessantly. The scene was simply too disgusting.
"The Mutated Licker is approaching the main control room. Estimated arrival at the mainframe room in two minutes." At that moment, the Red Queen's voice rang out in the laser corridor.
As soon as the Red Queen spoke, Zheng Zha and the others, who had still been somewhat afraid of the corpses in the laser corridor, stopped caring how disgusting it was. Everyone picked up whatever guns and ammunition they could from the floor.
