A Different Mission

"You wouldn't do that!" the mercenary captain said, staring into Ye Siyu's dark eyes. He wanted to find some sign that Ye Siyu was lying, but unfortunately, all he saw in those eyes was indifference. There was not a trace of the panic or evasiveness that came with lying.
"You can try me," Ye Siyu said with a smile, paying no attention to the rifle pointed at him. Under the mercenaries' wary gazes, he pulled a black bag from a hidden compartment at the end of the carriage.
At the sight of the square black bag, the white-collar youth and everyone else who had seen Resident Evil felt their pupils contract. So much time had passed that they no longer remembered the plot clearly, but seeing what Ye Siyu had done and the bag, which obviously contained something square, reminded them that this was the T-virus stock solution the villain Spence Parks had hidden in the story.
Swish! After taking out the bag, Ye Siyu slung it over his back, casually put his phone back in his pocket, and walked calmly toward the mercenaries.
"You can get back to what you were doing," Ye Siyu said with a smile as he approached the mercenary captain, the case on his back.
"Who the hell are you? Speak!" Unlike the relaxed expression on Ye Siyu's face, the mercenary captain's face was covered in a chilling frost, with surprise and confusion hidden deep beneath it.
Although he did not know whether Ye Siyu's claim about the bomb was true, he had never seen anyone remain so composed with a gun pointed at him, as though everything were under his control. Ye Siyu's composure left him feeling a trace of fear and wariness.
At the same time, Ye Siyu's reaction made him think the thing in the bag on his back was a bomb.
Though all it would have taken was a slight movement of his finger to pull the trigger and shoot Ye Siyu dead, he did not dare pull the trigger that could so easily take his life.
"You can ignore me from now on. Of course, if you want to make a move against me, I don't mind." Ye Siyu paid no attention to the dark muzzle the mercenary captain was pointing at him and walked unhurriedly over to the black-haired youth and the others.
"Captain, there's no one like him in Umbrella's internal employee records." At the same time, the computer expert Chad Kaplan finished checking the Umbrella Corporation's employee records and reported what he had found.
At Chad Kaplan's words, everyone, including the black-haired youth and the others, looked at Ye Siyu. The black-haired youth's gaze in particular was full of doubt.
The mercenary captain gave Ye Siyu a long look, then said to the others, "We're moving on."
With that, he led the team deeper into the Hive. As they went in, however, he also used a special signal to tell a team member to keep a close eye on Ye Siyu and alert him immediately if he made any suspicious moves.
At the same time, he told the man watching Ye Siyu not to act impulsively and absolutely not to make a move unless necessary. He could not tell who Ye Siyu really was, but one thing was certain: Ye Siyu was definitely not a safe person. He had a feeling that if he made a move against Ye Siyu, the ones who died would definitely be his own group.
That was right, his entire group, not just him. So, until he had confirmed whether Ye Siyu was friend or foe, he did not want to provoke him rashly.
Seeing Ye Siyu frighten the mercenaries with just a few words, the white-collar youth and the others looked at him with admiration. Although they did not know exactly what was going on,
that did not stop them from admiring him. If they had been in Ye Siyu's place, their legs would surely have gone weak from the mercenaries' imposing manner.
"If you don't want to die, let's go. The mercenary captain is getting far ahead." Ye Siyu, who was being watched by everyone, put away his smile and returned to his initial indifference as he spoke. Then he followed the mercenaries deeper into the Hive.
Hearing Ye Siyu's words, everyone hurried after them. They did not want to be erased by the Lord God for getting more than a hundred meters away from the mercenary captain. Unlike Ye Siyu, they were not carrying anything on their backs, so they soon passed him. Even the fattest man left Ye Siyu far behind.
Ye Siyu was in no hurry, however, because he knew there was another iron door ahead waiting for the mercenaries to open. As he walked, he raised his right wrist. On it was a silver watch with a display, much like an Apple Watch. On the watch, besides the time...
Ye Siyu swiped the screen with his left hand, and the display changed.
Mission world: Terror Infinity - Resident Evil Main mission (incomplete): Stay alive until the protagonist and the others return to the Lord God Space. 20 points. Side mission one (incomplete): Zombie killer. Kill at least ten zombies. 0.1-10 points. The more zombies killed, the higher the score. Side mission two (incomplete): Licker killer. Kill at least one Licker. 1-30 points. The more Lickers killed, the higher the score. Side mission three (incomplete): No one can die. Ensure that Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and all the other reincarnators stay alive until the end of this mission. 30 points. Hidden mission one (complete): The thing the bastard hid. Find the thing a certain bastard hid somewhere. 10 points.
If the black-haired youth and the others saw the contents of Ye Siyu's watch screen, they would surely be shocked, because they were completely different from what appeared on their Lord God watches. There were no reward points, only scores.
After glancing at the score for completing the hidden mission, Ye Siyu's lips curled up slightly. He swiped again, and the watch screen returned to its original digital time display. Of course, he did not need to swipe the screen every time he wanted to check his score, because the total score for this mission was displayed in the corner of the digital clock.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
A dazzling light flashed continuously at the Hive's entrance. The mercenaries were using a special door-opening device, or rather, a laser drill, to destroy the lock on the Hive's heavy iron door.
Clang!
As Ye Siyu walked over, the electronic lock on the Hive's iron door was destroyed by the laser and fell to the ground.
Lifting her protective visor, the female mercenary Rain Ocampo, who had a pair of dead-fish eyes, said to the mercenary captain, who was talking with Alice and the others nearby, "Sir, the door's open. We can go in now."
