Chapter 294: Mercenary Matthew

A "Who are you?" was like a bolt from the blue, striking Ye Nan. Ye Nan turned his head almost instantly.

Behind him were more than a dozen people wearing black special operations uniforms. Each of them was holding a gun, aimed at Ye Nan and Marcus.

"Mercenaries!" Ye Nan suddenly remembered the plot of *Resident Evil*.

Because the traitor broke the glass tube containing the T-virus, the Red Queen sealed the entire Hive. About five hours later, the senior management of the Umbrella Corporation discovered that the Hive had an accident, so they sent a team of mercenaries over.

"I don't know if this team of mercenaries is the mercenaries in the movie," Ye Nan thought. From the things he observed, every movie, if a clue appeared, would follow the plot, and the plot would also change due to various factors.

"I am Dr. Marcus. Who are you, and what are you doing here?" Marcus asked in a deep voice.

"You are Dr. Marcus?" The leader of the mercenaries took off his mask and said, "I am Matthew Addison, a mercenary hired by the Umbrella Corporation. You can call me Matthew."

Matthew recognized Dr. Marcus from the beginning, but now Dr. Marcus was very strange, especially his body.

Matthew noticed that under Dr. Marcus's feet, there were leeches constantly wriggling. In Matthew's eyes, it was already equated with a monster.

When he was performing missions in Africa, he had seen many non-human creatures, especially when he was assigned by the Umbrella Corporation to perform missions in the Sun Staircase. The kind of non-human power he saw made him unforgettable for life, so when he saw Dr. Marcus's appearance, he didn't have too much surprise.

"What are you doing here?" Marcus asked with considerable dignity.

"We are under the orders of the company to come and investigate why the Hive suddenly lost contact," Matthew answered without hesitation.

Although Dr. Marcus had already been fired by the Umbrella Corporation, in the face of Dr. Marcus, who was once a senior executive of the company, Matthew still made no concealment, especially when this Dr. Marcus had turned into a non-human existence.

Ye Nan carefully examined this group of mercenaries: black headgear, black combat uniforms, black gloves, and combat boots. In short, they were all black.

Matthew was the mercenary captain in the movie. If there were no accidents, this mercenary team led by Matthew should be the mercenary team in the movie. But unfortunately, Alice had already fainted.

Ye Nan looked at Alice lightly, his gaze soft. "No matter how the plot develops, Alice cannot be in danger. It's better for me to replace Alice's role in the movie. Anyway, Alice's performance time in the early stage is not much."

"Who are you?" A voice came from behind the mercenaries. This person was wearing a white coat and didn't look like a mercenary, and he was pointing at Ye Nan and asking, "I seem to have seen you. Who are you?"

Ye Nan looked over upon hearing this and immediately smiled.

This man wearing a white coat was the commercial spy Jason he had sent out.

"I didn't expect the commercial spy Ryan in the movie to be replaced by the commercial spy Jason I sent out."

In the movie, it was the commercial spy Ryan who caused this tragedy, but Ye Nan didn't expect that the commercial spy Ryan who caused the start of the *Resident Evil* would become the commercial spy Jason he sent out. But no matter how it changed, the plot was still advancing.

"Master of the dark, are you unable to intervene directly because of the rules you set, or are you watching all this with the mentality of a gamer?" Ye Nan looked up at the sky, as if he wanted to communicate with the master of the dark....

The development of things was always controlled by some kind of power, but this power, in Ye Nan's eyes, was powerless. For example, he could clearly stop Ye Nan, push the time back five hours, and make this time coincide with the time in the movie, but he didn't do so.

Similarly, he could interfere with Jason, let Ryan take action in advance, but he didn't do so either. This, in Ye Nan's view, was a very weak performance, because the things he designed yielded to Ye Nan's will, which was an impossible thing in Ye Nan's eyes.

How powerful was the existence in the dark? He couldn't measure it, but judging from the other party's ability to arrange coincidences similar to Death, it should be called a god. Plus, he materialized the movies of Ye Nan's past life into this world, this power spanning two spaces and even universes made Ye Nan feel terrified.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Nan didn't understand, didn't understand the existence in the dark, didn't understand why his actions would appear so weak.

Ye Nan speculated that he might be unable to intervene directly because of various reasons, or he was purely bored and treated this world as a chess piece, so he didn't invest much energy.

Ye Nan himself was inclined to the former, because if the existence in the dark was just bored, he couldn't have been paying attention here for so long and inserted the plot in a reasonable way.

"If he is unable to intervene directly, then what is affecting him, the Earth itself or the universe itself?" Ye Nan speculated in his heart.

The end of the world was coming soon. At that time, Ye Nan would have to leave the Earth and head to an unknown star field. And if this existence in the dark could directly interfere with the universe, then this was extremely bad for Ye Nan, because he was an unstable factor for the plot of the movie and was very likely to encounter erasure.

While Ye Nan was wandering outside, Jason's face became darker and darker. He had asked because he felt Ye Nan's face was familiar, but he didn't expect Ye Nan to giggle, completely ignoring his words.

As if seeing Jason's bad face, Matthew patted Jason's shoulder lightly and said to Ye Nan, "Hi, brother, can you tell me who you are?"

Because Ye Nan was with Marcus, he tried to appear calm when he spoke.

Ye Nan's thoughts were interrupted by Matthew, and he came back to his senses. "My name is Ye Nan."

"Ye Nan?" A face suddenly flashed in Jason's mind. This face flashed by, and he wanted to grab it, but couldn't.

"Did you remember anything?" Matthew asked Jason.

He had just entered the Hive when he met this amnesiac who called himself Jason. In his words, he had lost his memory, but Matthew could be sure that he should be a researcher in the Hive, so he took Jason with him, hoping that he would recover his memory and remember something.

"No." Jason shook his head and lowered his head, seeming very frustrated.

"It doesn't matter. It's normal not to remember. It's already very good that you can survive under the neurotoxic gas released by the Hive," Matthew patted Jason's shoulder and comforted him lightly.

At the same time, he turned his head and looked at Marcus: "Dr. Marcus, you are more familiar with everything here than we are. I hope you can cooperate with us."

"Naturally." A cunning look flashed in Marcus's eyes.

"Let's go." Matthew took the lead and led everyone over. Along the way, they saw many closed rooms, and the rooms were all full of water.

"This road seems different," Ye Nan thought. In the movie, this road was impassable, and then these mercenaries went around from another direction, and then entered the laser passage....

"Laser passage!" Ye Nan chewed on this name carefully.

The laser passage that killed people in the movie was a trump card in the *Resident Evil* plot. Facing the laser, he had no confidence in his heart either.

"Look, sir," a mercenary walking in front suddenly shouted, "The floor ahead has been flooded with water."

"We can take another road. I know a road that can go around, and the distance is not very far, and it won't waste too much time," Marcus said first.

"That's good, let's take another road," Matthew nodded and said.

"What exactly does Marcus want to do?" Ye Nan thought while following the large army.

Based on his understanding of Marcus, Marcus was definitely not a person who liked to help others. Then why was he so anxious to speak? The reason, in Ye Nan's view, was only one: he had a conspiracy.

Among the people now, except for Ye Nan, the other mercenaries were not dangerous to Marcus. Marcus's conspiracy would only be aimed at him.

"Is it the laser passage, or the passage in the main control room?" Ye Nan murmured in his heart.

Ye Nan held Shi Mila and followed behind these mercenaries. I don't know how far they walked, but they stopped in front of an iron door.

"Kaplan, open this door," Matthew said to a mercenary.

"Yes, sir." Kaplan saluted, then picked up his computer and walked to the door, his fingers constantly tapping on the computer.

Seeing Kaplan start to act, Matthew said to Marcus, "Dr. Marcus, where is this?"

"This is the B restaurant. As the name suggests, it's a place for researchers to eat," Marcus said.

When saying this, his eyes flashed with inexplicable excitement. At the same time, his gaze involuntarily glanced at Ye Nan, his mouth full of mocking smiles.

"Wait a moment, wait a moment and we'll be there. By then, I will give you a good gift."

"Since it's a place for employees to eat and it hasn't been flooded with water, there should still be survivors inside. Rain, you take a team of people and stay here to search. Others follow me. You have no opinion, Dr. Marcus?"

"Of course I have no opinion. I'm begging for it," Marcus laughed happily, saying such an inexplicable sentence.

With a *clatter*, the door opened, and Matthew led everyone in.

Ye Nan stood at the very back, watching Matthew and the others gradually approaching Death, and followed without hesitation. ===== CHAPTER 295 =====
