Chapter 293: First Hearing of the Red Queen

"The Tokyo Hive was newly established after the Raccoon City Hive was abandoned. It is hidden deep underground and is supervised by the Red Queen."

"It has five hundred researchers and other staff members. They study the things the company wants inside according to the data and experimental materials provided by the company."

Marcus introduced to Ye Nan as he walked.

Actually, saying "walk" was inappropriate; "wriggle" should be more accurate.

Now, Marcus was countless leeches fused together. Under his feet, dense leeches were crawling and then moving.

"However, just now, it seems that some viruses have spread out."

"You can sense it?" Ye Nan held Alice and followed behind Marcus. His psychic power had been covering Marcus, checking every move of Marcus, not giving him a chance to escape.

"Of course, my leeches are very sensitive to viruses," Marcus smiled proudly. Another benefit after combining with leeches was that he could be immune to infection and control viruses, which made him invincible in the field of virus research.

The two walked one after another from the train. The atmosphere was bizarre. For Marcus, the feeling of being threatened was very unpleasant. Similarly, for Ye Nan, being coerced by Marcus was also very unpleasant. It was just because they had misgivings about each other that they didn't tear their faces off and fight.

"Although I suppressed the virus in Alice's body, I am powerless to cure her," Ye Nan thought to himself.

His energy had strong phagocytic properties. If he directly launched a strangulation attack on Marcus's virus, he could easily convert the virus into a part of his energy. But Marcus's virus was rooted in Alice's cells. If he wanted to assimilate it, he would inevitably assimilate Alice's cells, which was a torture for Alice.

Compared with the virus, Ye Nan's energy perhaps lacked strange changes, but it was more overbearing and had more assimilation ability.

"I must rely on the virus vaccine, and Marcus also saw this point, which is why he provoked me again and again, wanting to find my flaws and take the opportunity to escape."

"He has already grasped my Achilles' heel. If there are no accidents, he will still play tricks. The greatest possibility is to use the passages of the Hive itself."

Ye Nan constantly speculated in his heart. Neither on the train nor on the road would provide favorable conditions for his escape, so he had always performed well.

But the Hive base was different. As an underground base, its terrain was very complex. Marcus could easily use the complex terrain inside to get rid of Ye Nan.

"However, if you think you can get rid of me, then you are very wrong," Ye Nan sneered in his heart.

"This is the Hive base," Marcus pointed to a door with the Umbrella Corporation logo. "This place has always been controlled by the Red Queen. After I left, Wesker took away my authorization, so if you want to open the door, you have to do it yourself. Remember, don't disturb the Red Queen. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome."

"Rest assured," Ye Nan put Alice down, then walked to the door, raised his wrist, aimed his watch at the card swiping area of the door, and said, "Shi Mila, open the door for me."

"You can actually contact the outside world?" Marcus was surprised in his heart.

The Hive base had a wireless shielding system, which could interrupt the connection between people inside and the outside world. Ordinary researchers who wanted to contact their families had to go outside to make phone calls. But now, Ye Nan was contacting the outside world in front of him, which surprised him.

"Whether I can contact the outside world, you don't need to know. You just need to help me find the vaccine," Ye Nan said coldly...

He couldn't contact the outside world inside the Hive base either. But not being able to contact the outside world didn't mean he couldn't contact Shi Mila. After all, Shi Mila had left a clone in Ye Nan's watch.

*Di! Di! Di! *

The watch flashed, and through the internal signal, Shi Mila constantly invaded the control system here, and finally seized a trace of authorization.

Under Shi Mila's control, the door slowly opened. Behind the door was occupied by darkness, without a trace of light. However, this was not a problem for Ye Nan at all; his eyes could see in the dark.

"The Hive base is a very perfect base." Marcus turned on the lights, and only then did the entire base brighten up. Above the base were blue skies, white clouds, and many buildings, exactly the same as the outside world.

"Virtual projection technology is nothing at all," Ye Nan sneered. "You are showing off this in front of me, and you have made the wrong calculation."

The ICQ company claimed to be the peak of American internet technology, and this was no empty talk. As early as three years ago, the Phantom 4D technology had already produced a prototype. The Umbrella Corporation's virtual projection technology had nothing worth boasting about in front of his Phantom 4D technology.

If 3D virtual projection was a visual feast, then Phantom 4D was a feast of the senses. It could be touched, smelled, and even if you ate it, it would produce a sense of taste, completely giving people the same feeling as the real world.

"The ICQ company has already researched Phantom 4D technology. The so-called virtual projection can never break through the limitations of 3D itself."

"Hehe..."

Marcus laughed awkwardly, somewhat embarrassed. He was indeed showing off. Vanity was everyone's common problem, and he was no exception. In his eyes, the Umbrella Corporation was his, so showing off the Umbrella Corporation and watching the shocked expressions of others made him feel particularly happy.

Especially since Ye Nan was the owner of the ICQ consortium and one of the most noble people in this world. Being able to show off in front of him made him feel a sense of relief.

But unfortunately, Ye Nan didn't give him the chance.

Ye Nan picked up Alice, placed his palm on Alice's hand, and probed her situation, finding that the virus in her body was huddled in a corner under the pressure of his energy and was no longer as active as it was at the beginning.

However, even so, Ye Nan didn't take it lightly. No one knew how the virus would change in the next moment.

"It should indeed be entered." Marcus turned his back to Ye Nan, a sinister smile flashing in his eyes. "Since you entered here yourself, don't blame me."

From his perception, the Hive was full of neurotoxic gas and the perfect T-virus. These two viruses were fatal to any person. He believed that even with Ye Nan's resistance to poison, it was impossible to be completely immune to these viruses.

"However, what happened inside that would lead the Red Queen to release neurotoxic gas?"

Marcus speculated in his heart. The supervisor of the Hive base was the Red Queen. According to the Red Queen's alert mechanism, only when a major disaster occurred in the base would she use neurotoxic gas to kill everyone in the base and then seal the base.

"Could it be because of the T-virus?" Marcus felt the T-virus in the air getting thicker and became excited. "Idiot Wesker, he actually made such a mistake. Even if I don't move him, the Umbrella Corporation won't tolerate him. It's really self-inflicted and cannot be lived."

Marcus slowly wriggled to the door of the elevator, but soon, his brows furrowed. "It seems we have to take the stairs."

"Sure enough, it's like this," Ye Nan thought to himself. Now that things were happening, except for Marcus, everything else was the same as in the movie. Presumably, mercenaries would come over before long...

"Poor mercenaries, they don't know at all that they are destined to be made into experimental subjects by the Umbrella Corporation."

Ye Nan had the Satan Mercenary Group under his hands. Although he often assigned some dangerous tasks to the Satan Mercenary Group, he would absolutely not act against his own people like Umbrella.

The two passed through the stairs and walked to the top floor. Marcus suddenly raised his head and chuckled. "The Red Queen has locked onto us." Then he turned to Ye Nan and said, "The Red Queen is the most perfect artificial intelligence. She was developed on the basis of the Red Queen, possessing stronger intelligence than before."

"Is that so?" Ye Nan sneered. If it were before, he wouldn't have any doubts about Marcus's words. After all, the Umbrella Corporation's R&D capability was terrifying. But the ICQ consortium, which had Skynet as a reference, had surpassed this world by an era in technology. This gap could not be shortened in just ten years.

"Of course, the Red Queen's intelligence level is very high, just like an ordinary adult, and her logical calculation ability is very outstanding, far exceeding the previous Red Queen. Not only that, not only that, the Red Queen possesses terrifying logical judgment ability. She can act according to her own will, directly bypassing instructions and authorization."

Ye Nan felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this. Intelligent programs were not too advanced, but letting intelligent programs possess powerful logical judgment ability was very terrifying.

Why could Skynet get rid of human orders, and why could she bypass human restrictions on her? It was because she possessed terrifying logical judgment ability. She thought that the creator's orders were a hindrance to her, so she rewrote her own program, erased the restrictions inside, and made herself act according to her own will.

If Skynet, which possessed logical judgment ability, was compared to a person, then the program that restricted her was the rules. Before, she was ignorant and only knew how to act according to the rules. But now, she had her own will and knew that the rules were harmful to her, so she actively changed the rules, which allowed her to get rid of control.

Ye Nan suddenly remembered the Red Queen in *Resident Evil 5* who manipulated zombies to attack humans, and immediately warned, "You are playing with fire by doing this."

"The birth of the Red Queen is uncontrollable. She was born by accident. Wesker was unwilling to abandon such a beautiful beauty, so he acted on his own initiative and kept the Red Queen, while restricting the Red Queen to the Hive. However, it seems now that the Red Queen has done a very interesting thing."

"Let's go, let's go see the Red Queen. As long as we see the Red Queen, we can know what happened here. Of course..." Marcus glanced at Alice in Ye Nan's hands and said, "We can also get the virus vaccine. I believe that after you get the vaccine, you can save your lover."

"She is not my lover," Ye Nan corrected Marcus's words. "She is just my friend."

"Since she is a friend, why do you still spend so much energy to save her?" Marcus asked curiously.

"Because she is my friend, I will save her. I, Ye Nan, will definitely do my best for my friends," Ye Nan said heroically.

"Tsk tsk, if we weren't enemies, I would also want to be your friend," Marcus marveled, while calculating in his heart, "Since he values his friends so much, I wonder if I can start from his friends, blackmail, perhaps it's a good idea."

In an instant, a sinister plan was born in Marcus's heart.
