The mercenary captain glanced at Alice and said slowly," The Fire Queen is the best artificial intelligence system in the country. She controls the entire hive and is the central computer that controls this place.”
The mercenary captain did not want to say anything more. After answering Alice's question, he continued to walk forward. Then, they arrived at the experimental area in the hive. Every room here was a laboratory, and they had been closed by thick iron doors, turning into independent laboratories.
Every laboratory was filled with murky water, and visibility was not very high. In the water, other than light things such as paper and books, there were more white corpses that were soaked in water. These corpses were the researchers in the hive.
The faces of the corpses were extremely ferocious. Their eyes were wide open and their mouths were wide open. They looked extremely terrifying. From this, one could see how much pain these researchers had suffered before they died. Mad Three looked at the corpse floating in the water and silently mourned for Matt. He hoped that Matt wouldn't be scared when he saw his sister.
Those mercenaries should have seen life and death before, so they were calm when facing these floating corpses in the water. Perhaps it was because of the cultural differences between the East and the West. Crazy Three hadn't paid much attention to the movie before, but after the field trip, he frowned. Although Kuangsan had named herself Tokizaki Kuangsan, she was not the " nightmarish " elf. After entering a state of confusion, her state of mind was only slightly higher than that of a normal person. She was neither a compassionate saint nor a heartless executioner. She was just a creature that was slightly stronger than ordinary people, just like Alice who had been strengthened by the T-virus.
"Crazy Three, what's wrong? Hurry up and follow!" Alice noticed that Crazy Three was staring at the floating corpse in a daze, so she held his little hand and looked at Crazy Three's sad eyes and dull expression. Alice knew that Crazy Three was sad because of the dead. She revealed a sincere smile and said," Crazy Three, the attitude of the East and the West towards death is very different! We don't have to be sad for them. They're living better in heaven. We just have to pray for them!”
" Mm." Mad Three nodded, and his sad eyes were filled with relief. He pulled Alice's hand and quickly followed the mercenary team. Crazy Three returned Alice's sincere smile. Thank you, Alice. If I die, you will definitely pray for me, right?
While Crazy Three was observing the floating corpses, there were also a few people observing the floating corpses in the laboratory. After explaining the situation, Kaplan said," Sir, if this continues, it will delay our actions. Our route to the Flame Queen must pass through these laboratories.”
After hearing Kaplan's words, the mercenary captain nodded in agreement and said to his subordinates,"Layne, go and see how bad the situation is. Kaplan, use the computer to find another way to the Fire Queen.”
Upon hearing the mercenary captain's order, Layne and another male mercenary carried their guns and went deep into the laboratories to search. " What happened here?" Spence Parkes asked after the two of them were far away. Why did these research laboratories look like they were filled with water from the inside?”
The mercenary leader scanned the surroundings and looked at Alice and Matt, who were also curious. After thinking for a while, he said," About five hours ago, the Flame Queen controlled and sealed the entire hive. Then, it used the internal defense system to kill people, release poison gas, cut off the power supply of the elevator, and shut down the research laboratory. As you can see, it killed everyone in this experimental area.”
The mercenary leader paused for a moment and then continued," When the company realized that something had happened here, my team was sent here to shut it down. That's why we're here.”
Hearing the mercenary captain's answer, Alice was even more confused and angry, so she continued to ask," Why did it do this? Wasn't it an intelligent computer system? He shouldn't have deliberately hurt humans.”
The mercenary captain shook his head in response to Alice's question." We don't know either. It might be affected by external factors, such as a computer virus... or it might be destroyed by internal manipulation. These are all..."
Just as the mercenary leader was speaking, a figure floated over from the tempered glass that Matt was leaning on. From the corner of his eye, he noticed the movement of the floating corpse. Matt turned around and saw a female corpse floating in the water. Immediately, Matt cried out in shock and jumped to the side in horror.
In such a terrifying atmosphere, Matt's cry of surprise shocked everyone. They immediately rushed over and saw the floating corpse. Although the mercenary captain and his subordinates looked a little unnatural, they quickly calmed down and pretended that nothing had happened. " Alice, are you afraid of death?" Crazy Three asked, holding Alice's hand.”
This time, Crazy Three did not address Alice as Sister Alice. Alice did not care about what he called her. After thinking for a while, she said," If I can live well, of course I will be afraid of death! Is Crazy Three afraid of death?"
"I've already died once, but when I faced death, I felt very afraid!”" I'm afraid of death," Mad Three said softly. Alice listened to Mad Three's words word by word. Her expression changed slightly. She comforted Mad Three," Since you're afraid of death, then live well!"”
…Dividing line…
"Sir, I found another route, but it will probably take some time.”At this time, Kaplan had already found a passage to the main computer of the Flame Queen through the microchip on his arm. That passage was the Flame Queen's trap.
"Sir, there's no way out. The entire floor has been flooded.”Not long after, Layne, who had been called by the mercenary captain to check on the situation in front of the laboratory, rushed back and reported the situation.
"Alright, our progress is already behind, so we can't delay any longer. We have to act quickly.”After receiving Layne's response, the mercenary captain nodded and instructed the people around him.
Helpless, the mercenaries, Mad Three, and the others could only walk back to the return path together. This time, they were much faster. Not long after, the mercenaries stopped outside an iron gate. Kaplan was using a computer to connect to the Fire Queen's system to open the iron gate.
The Grim Reaper was quietly descending. Crazy Three looked at the iron door and fell into deep thought. He wondered if he should tell them the truth before entering the laser tunnel. If she told them, what would they think of her?
Author's comment: In the next chapter, Sansan can't watch the show anymore! The three of them had already decided to make their presence known.
