Chapter 376

~7 min read 1,311 words

"A master! This mid-air flying kick is even cooler than the last one!"

"The female lead is so abnormal she doesn't seem human; she's more like a mutated superhuman!"

"I'm already looking forward to the female lead fighting zombies later! With these skills... those mercenaries are basically trash compared to her!"

"..."

If the previous plot was a horror movie, full of thrills and oppression, as well as the fear and excitement brought by desperate situations, then now, as the female lead awakens her combat abilities, this movie instantly becomes very satisfying.

Countless audience members feel incredibly satisfied.

No one expected that those terrifying monsters would be solved so cleanly and efficiently by the female lead, who seemed to have no abilities.

"The feeling of a female-led movie is coming through." Li Wu looks shocked and takes a deep breath.

He realizes that all the horror and settings in the first part of the movie were just paving the way for the female lead's stunning performance.

The more oppressive and thrilling it was before, the higher the satisfaction when the female lead takes action, and it leaves a deep, shocking impression.

It is precisely because of the constantly escalating horror and excitement that the climax when the female lead takes action is so satisfying!

Even with the many brilliant scenes from the supporting actress Milla and the AI bad girl Red Queen, at this moment, after the female lead takes action, the shock and impression they bring to the audience cannot compare to the female lead.

"Terrifying plot setup and pacing ability!!" Liu Liu Wenhao is also deeply shocked and mutters to himself.

He cannot help but feel deep suspicion.

Such a director.

Such a screenwriter.

Such a lead actress.

Such a movie with one climax after another...

Is it really something that can be smeared just by some film critics writing negative reviews?

On the other side, Matthew finds an employee ID in the Hive office area, stares blankly at the photo of the beautiful woman on the ID, and then finds a document in the office cabinet, reading it nervously.

Suddenly.

A beautiful zombie walks in, moving slowly and swaying.

"Lisa?" Matthew turns and asks, his expression filled with irrepressible sadness.

The female zombie does not reply and lunges directly at him, trying to bite Matthew's neck.

Fortunately, the female lead in red arrives in time.

She uses the crystal cube to smash the female zombie's head, successfully saving her.

But Matthew strangely squats down and slowly closes the female zombie's eyes.

"Who is she?" the female lead in red asks.

"My sister," Matthew replies.

"The Umbrella Corporation thinks it is above the law and all living things, but that is not the case. There are hundreds and thousands of people around the world like us who have put in effort to expose and take down the Umbrella Corporation. Some provide intelligence, some provide support, and others take direct action..."

Matthew tells the story of him and Lisa.

It turns out his police identity is fake; his real name is Matt, and he has been investigating the Umbrella Corporation.

Because of his poor record in various government agencies, he could not infiltrate the Umbrella Corporation himself and could only send his sister Lisa.

But he didn't expect Lisa to lose her life because of it.

At the same time, Matt tells the female lead that his sister had an informant inside the Umbrella Corporation, and that informant knew the security passwords, surveillance systems, and everything needed.

His sister's death and the disaster happening in the entire Hive might be related to that informant.

Because the T-virus is very valuable, some people are crazy and reckless for money.

At this moment.

The female lead looks at Lisa's face, and some memories appear in her mind.

It was under a statue outside a villa where she met Lisa alone.

It turns out she was Lisa's informant.

At the same time.

She finally remembers her name.

—Alice!

"Tears, the movie is more than halfway through, and the female lead finally has her own name."

"However, why is it a foreign name?"

"It's set in the Earth universe in the United States, so it's normal to have a foreign name. Besides, there are many foreign actors in this movie, and the zombies are basically all foreigners."

"Foreigners: I'm really thankful."

"The mysteries are piling up. The female lead was Lisa's informant, so is there a possibility that she conspired with others to cause the virus leak?"

"I don't know. With other directors, the protagonists are mostly righteous, but Xu Mingyue is really hard to guess."

"Other people's young ladies are full of energy, but my young lady is full of bad intentions, hahahaha."

"..."

Immediately after.

Alice, Matt, and the others rendezvous in the computer room in front of the laser corridor.

There are zombies everywhere in the Hive, and they can't get out.

Moreover, when the mercenaries came in, they installed time bombs everywhere on the way; if they don't get out within an hour, they will be buried in the Hive forever.

For a moment, the entire team is in a desperate situation.

At this time, Alice overrides the objections and decisively decides to reboot the Red Queen.

This is the only way out for now.

The AI Red Queen might know the way out.

"Ah, we meet again." The Red Queen's gloating voice rings out; her voice is very pleasant: "I guess the situation must be out of control."

"Give me the switch; I'm going to burn you, you bitch." Milla's temper flares, and she is about to use the switch to burn the Red Queen's host panel.

This is a countermeasure prepared by everyone to prevent the Red Queen from tricking them.

As long as the switch is pressed, the Red Queen's host panel will be burned, and she will be shut down again.

"Didn't I warn you?" the Red Queen says calmly.

"Tell me what happened here," Milla demands.

The Red Queen replies: "A virus leak occurred in the R&D department."

"What's the deal with the T-virus?" Matt asks.

"The T-virus is a major breakthrough in medicine, although it also has highly important military application value."

"What does it have to do with this disaster?"

"Even after death, the body can continue to function; hair and nails will continue to grow, producing new cells, while the brain maintains a small amount of electrical charge until it disappears after a few months. The T-virus can produce huge vibration waves... to maintain cell growth, as well as small electrical pulses. Simply put... it can bring the dead back to life."

"It brings the dead back to life?"

"Not exactly. The resurrected dead can only perform simple mechanical actions; they might have some memories, but they can't be called intelligent."

"How do you kill them?" Milla asks.

"Severing the top of the spine or causing heavy damage to the brain is the most effective method," the Red Queen replies.

"Meaning shoot them in the head!" Milla understands.

The Red Queen introduces the origin and characteristics of the zombies.

As she introduces them, in the laser corridor, a dead body is "resurrecting," completing its zombie transformation.

It is none other than the mercenary who had his five fingers cut off in the laser corridor not long ago.

Next.

The Red Queen explains why she killed everyone in the Hive.

It turns out that because of the T-virus leak, which spread throughout the Hive through the air system, to prevent the infection from spreading to the surface, the Red Queen killed everyone and sealed the Hive.

"Hiss..."

At this moment.

Amidst the Red Queen's explanation, the audience in all the theaters is stunned and dumbfounded.

The plot has a shocking reversal here!
