Chapter 80: Death Train

Alice: 【My world has encountered a massive crisis. A terrifying virus has leaked out, and anyone infected by the virus turns into a walking corpse that only knows how to devour the flesh and blood of others. I hope someone can act with me to stop all of this from happening.】

Ding, Alice has posted a mission: join her in stopping the spread of the virus and exposing the actions of the Umbrella Corporation to the public.

"Tier 1 cultivation, a Tier 3 world—the level is lower than the world I am in. A virus leak that turns people into walking corpses?"

Xiong Ba listened carefully to the relevant information and marked the relevant characters; this was a habit he had cultivated back when he was rising to power in his early years.

Knowing how to use people well, while also knowing oneself and the enemy, was the key to his rise; it did not rely entirely on his Three Points Return to Origin Qi.

After all, the Jianghu is not entirely about killing and fighting; there are also many human relationships and worldly affairs.

Xiong Ba was still quite curious about different worlds, but he remained as cautious as before. Not understanding the situation or the background, he did not like to act rashly. He had always preferred to plan before acting, knowing himself and the enemy to ensure victory in every battle.

On the other side, the corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth had already curled up; he had been waiting for the other party to say these words.

Zhang Xuan: 【Why does what you're saying sound so familiar? Resident Evil? Umbrella?】

Although he was eager to immediately agree to the other party's request, everything must always involve some back-and-forth; agreeing directly would expose his own goals too obviously.

It was best to be as tactful as possible and negotiate a bit; only then could he obtain more benefits.

Alice, who had already begun moving with the entire squad, was quite nervous. She knew time was extremely tight. While following the many mercenaries forward, she quickly responded in her mind.

Alice: 【Indeed, that is correct. It is a quite dangerous operation. I need your help. The biochemical virus researched by the Umbrella Corporation has leaked. If it is not stopped, the world will be destroyed because of it.】

【I hope to obtain your help.】

Upon hearing such a mission, Meng Qi couldn't help but shiver.

Back when the Resident Evil film series was very popular, it became a shadow in many people's hearts—those terrifying zombies in the forest, and the seemingly endless zombie tides.

The hideous and terrifying Lickers, the Tyrants that were so strong they didn't seem human...

It was the masterpiece of the zombie film series, later becoming the benchmark pursued by many film characters, leading to the birth of countless zombie films.

If one were watching such a movie in a cinema, it would of course be exciting and thrilling, but to let someone voluntarily jump into this terrifying world, and even have to fight zombies and the Umbrella Corporation, which could mobilize nuclear missiles at any time...

Meng Qi could not bring himself to do it, and he took the initiative to give a warning in the Chat Group.

Not Wanting to Be a Monk Meng Qi: 【The difficulty of your mission is simply too outrageous. Ning Caichen's mission difficulty is easy to the point of exploding, while your mission difficulty is as hard as ascending to heaven.】

【I think when you issue a mission, it is best to disclose the future timeline you have learned. Going to complete your mission is indeed bright, great, and very righteous.】

【But you also have to make the strength of your opponents clear. The Umbrella Corporation is a top-tier global company, and its various trades account for an extremely significant proportion of the whole world.】

【It even possesses decisive power in the United States and has terrifying influence within the military. It can even directly mobilize nuclear missiles.】

【And any Group Member who participates in your mission could be threatened by nuclear missiles. If my memory serves me correctly, it won't be long before the Raccoon City you are in will be hit by a real tactical nuclear missile.】

【In the entire group, I'm afraid only Qingdi can face a nuclear missile head-on right now. No one else can do it. If you ask us to go, isn't that just sending us to our deaths?】

【With the strength of the Umbrella Corporation, you are going to fight a world-level power, even becoming enemies with the entire world. The difficulty of this mission is unimaginably high.】

Meng Qi was very blunt, pointing out the problems directly.

Li Xiaoyao, who had originally been with Zhang Sanfeng and was preparing to discuss with him about the two of them taking on this mission together to save the world and spread their names of chivalry, suddenly shuddered.

He did not understand what a nuclear missile was, but Meng Qi's words were not hard to understand.

Simply put, as long as that so-called nuclear missile appeared, no Group Member in the Chat Group could block it; the only one who could block it head-on was that very mysterious Qingdi.

Zhang Sanfeng and Li Xiaoyao both calmed down.

The two of them had the most chivalrous temperament; upon hearing about saving the world, both of them simultaneously felt the relevant desire arise in their hearts—that was carved into their bones.

Zhang Sanfeng had once been influenced by Guo Jing, who believed that the greatest chivalry is to serve the country and the people.

And Li Xiaoyao, in the relevant Immortal Xia series of films, although usually glib and unreliable, was still very serious about true national affairs and would do his utmost to reverse corresponding tragedies.

But neither of them was completely brainless; knowing something cannot be done and doing it anyway is for fools.

Xiong Ba, on the other hand, did not have so many thoughts, though he had indeed been tempted just now, wanting to go and save the world.

It was not because he had suddenly become kind-hearted and very righteous, but because from his previous conversation with Meng Qi, he could see that Meng Qi was a person with a chivalrous heart.

Meng Qi detested him, likely detesting him for making his disciples kill each other and detesting many of his actions.

But if he did some relatively righteous things, he should be able to change the other party's perception.

Just now he was considering that the difficulty of saving the world proposed by a Tier 1 character should not be very high.

After all, the other party's world level was at most a world, and he felt that he should not directly face the most terrifying characters. As a Tier 3 big shot, he felt he could try to change things.

Now, however, Xiong Ba felt it was better to be low-key and cautious; do not stick your neck out recklessly. The world is too big and too dangerous.

Meng Qi's righteous speech made Zhang Xuan nod. In fact, even if Meng Qi hadn't said it, Zhang Xuan was prepared to speak up at this stage.

Group members helping each other is indeed fine, but the premise is that everyone must be honest with each other, so as not to hide too much while helping other group members overcome difficulties.

The person who initiates the mission must at least disclose the world background and timeline of the world they are in—that is to say, let other group members understand the world they are in.

Zhang Xuan: 【The world of Resident Evil, that difficulty is not generally high. What is the mission reward? And there are too many problems here. You should also make the relevant world background and situation clear when posting such a mission. Otherwise, if group members with a sense of justice go to your world, wouldn't they just die in vain?】

Ding, Alice has uploaded the Group File Resident Evil 1.

Ding, relevant permissions have been authorized; any character who accepts the world mission can view it.

Note: After accepting the mission and viewing the relevant world situation, one must complete the relevant mission proposed by the client.

Hmm, this was something Zhang Xuan added on his own initiative, mainly to keep group members from freeloading at will.

Accepting a mission and then not going—isn't that playing with the group members? It is better for the Chat Group to be fair and just.

Alice: 【It was indeed my problem before; I didn't consider it thoroughly. But time is quite tight now, and I hope to get your help.】

At this very moment, the rail train was about to start, and soon it would truly go deep into The Hive. Alice felt she could not wait any longer.

No matter what the Chat Group in her mind represented, she could not wait any longer.

Even if it was her own schizophrenia, even if Satan from Hell was tempting her, she still needed to take the initiative to make a wish to the other party in hopes of changing the current situation.

The plot of Resident Evil that the Chat Group had told her about was already being realized step by step.

As if she had foreknowledge, the plot experiences she was currently going through were exactly as the Chat Group had told her; they matched perfectly.

Thinking that she would soon go deep into The Hive to fight the terrifying Lickers and be with those countless zombies, Alice felt a chill all over her body.

Even if she could foresee the future, she could not change much. With her current situation, she was nothing more than an ordinary Tier 1 human.

The relevant virus has already leaked and spread through the air, and many people have already been infected one after another.

The entire Hive has become a terrifying Hell of death, and most of those who go inside cannot walk out alive.

Even Alice cannot guarantee her own safety.

The Red Queen, who has already gone a long way in the field of artificial intelligence, will, according to her own intelligence and judgment, kill everyone who penetrates deep into the Hive to prevent the virus from truly leaking and causing the destruction of humanity.

The relevant artificial intelligence does indeed have strict requirements that it cannot arbitrarily kill or target humans, but at the same time, it also possesses higher-level authority to not leak the secrets of the Umbrella Corporation and to not let the virus spread further.

After possessing this authority, it can actively kill some humans; the other party already has its own logical thinking and even has judgment regarding priorities.

Alice feels immense pressure; she found that briefcase beside the rapidly moving carriage and kept the briefcase by her side.

Facing the strange gazes of the many mercenaries, she simply explained: "The influence of the neurotoxin is weakening, my memory has partially recovered, and I feel this briefcase is very familiar; it should be a very important item."

A group of tall and sturdy mercenaries looked at each other; Alice was wearing a red dress, her appearance was outstanding, and the documents obtained earlier confirmed that she was a high-level member of Umbrella.

Even if Alice did some things now that were not very well accepted by them, they could still accept it and were not very vigilant, mainly because Alice is good-looking.

Happy New Year's Eve, everyone!
