Chapter 47: Killing Their Way into the Hive

There is no doubt that the Umbrella Corporation is not an ordinary terrorist organization.

They must be hit hard!

Dozens, even nearly a hundred, armed helicopters successively appeared over Raccoon City.

As time passed, a large number of elite troops and armored units would arrive to provide support.

At that time, Explosion, roaring, and tremors would replace the shrieks of biological weapons as the main melody here.

This was an anti-terrorism operation. Soon, this place would be embroiled in war, like a Middle Eastern battlefield, and the angry Mould would declare to the world with the grandest 'Reckoning' that no one could pull their tiger's whiskers.

"Only the cryogenic chambers beneath the Hive are unknown to others... Leaders like Dr. Isaacs will certainly stay there; only there is temporarily 'safe.'"

Chu Xuan was stating a simple fact.

Except for the bodies of the higher-ups, no one knew what was happening beneath the Hive. The 'clones' who showed their faces outside had no information or authority regarding this place.

Even if all of them were captured and confessed, at least until the company's data was thoroughly searched, this place would still be safe.

"That's good. If they ran around everywhere, it would be more troublesome to deal with them."

Fang Ge led the way, looking very relaxed.

As a streamer, 'stirring things up' was an indispensable part of his career. He could chat with the bullet screen while performing extreme maneuvers with a heart rate above 140.

For common enemies like the Alien Queen and the Ancient Black Dragon, completing 'blindfolded' under specific builds was also a piece of cake.

Therefore, his outward appearance could not truly reflect his mental state.

Unlike his unrestrained demeanor, he basically maintained focus at all times, reaching a pathological degree.

The Umbrella Corporation had lost the 'positioning parasite' and was now struggling to protect itself, so it had no time to manage the Central Continent Team's actions.

The journey to the 'ancient castle' was smooth. There were only two or three zombies, which the Central Continent Team easily dealt with.

Everything was like the calm before a storm.

Inside the ancient castle, the entrance to the Hive had been sealed by an iron gate, indicating that someone had been there.

"James, have you mastered Telekinesis? That ability to control objects out of thin air. Can you show me?"

Zhan Lan spoke to the Tracker beside her, wanting to gather some information.

Telekinesis should also be a manifestation of Mental Power. Zhan Lan had also perceived the mental world under the interference of the T-Virus, so she might not lack this talent.

At least, she thought so.

...

James was not happy about possessing such power. He would rather still be that ordinary mercenary captain.

But since Zhan Lan asked, he might as well try.

This power seemed innate; as long as he had a strong thought, the external world would change due to his mind.

The iron gate was gripped as if by a pair of strong hands, crumpled like a piece of paper, then lifted into the air and flew into an unoccupied corner.

Zhan Lan carefully used Mental Power Scan to observe the manifestation of Telekinesis and tried to replicate this unique method of use.

The answer was obvious: she couldn't do anything... but that was no reason to be discouraged.

"Hiss..."

Zheng Zha believed that if this attack landed on him, he would have no chance of survival.

"It seems much stronger than when he dealt with me."

Jin Xi frowned, seemingly imagining how she would protect the driver if James lost control at this moment.

"After all, Telekinesis is a very idealistic power... self-occupation accounts for a large proportion."

Fang Ge narrowed his eyes. The passage's induction lights were working. Undoubtedly, the Hive's power had been restored.

The Hive's power outage could be attributed to the Main God's meddling, but there must also have been interference from the high-level executives below.

After all, how could such a high-precision experimental base not even have a backup power supply?

Behind all illogical occurrences, there was an invisible hand interfering.

Now, the Hive seemed to have resumed operation. But inside, there were certainly no amiable researchers.

"This is where we were caught. I suspect... Kaplan and the others encountered something similar to me, or even worse."

James recalled the voices and smiles of his teammates and led the way down the passage.

Quiet, very quiet.

Chu Xuan had previously paralyzed all surveillance equipment in Raccoon City, but the technological level of the Hive and Red Queen was probably at least twenty years ahead of the outside world.

To be safe, he continued to use an electromagnetic interference device to ensure that the team's images would not be captured by surveillance equipment.

But this also meant that Red Queen could roughly know their location.

Looking at the dilapidated carriage, Fang Ge decided:

"The train is unusable; we'll have to walk. Be careful of encountering enemies on the tracks!"

"It's too quiet. I can't even see a single zombie or creeper."

Zheng Zha's beastly intuition gave him a very bad feeling.

"We've only eliminated a little over twenty; so many creepers... could they all have run out?"

"They can't possibly be starving and screaming, eating each other!"

Under normal circumstances, zombies would not eat zombies.

But there were exceptions... If it was that, it might be a bit troublesome.

Fang Ge understood the Main God's nature; even in a movie world, game elements might be incorporated... For example, the 'Tyrant' never actually appeared in the movies.

But was it unreasonable to have a Tyrant as an opponent? It was very reasonable, because the Tracker was a product based on the Tyrant.

"There are enemies, and many of them! They're surging towards us! The distance is about one kilometer!"

To prevent encountering individuals with Telekinesis like James again, Zhan Lan compressed her scanning range as much as possible, making the feedback from her Mental Power more precise.

This way, she could infer whether there were living beings moving by the subtle changes in other things.

After all, individuals like Alice and James only knew how to shield themselves but would not cover their surrounding environment.

"Prepare for battle... What kind of enemies are they?"

Fang Ge's mouth curved into a bloodthirsty smile.

He was going to go on a rampage!

On this one-way street, it would be a case of the brave winning in a narrow encounter!

"Ah..."

Zhan Lan meticulously sensed the physical characteristics of the approaching creatures and couldn't help but shiver.

"One, two, three, four... They have eight legs! They must be spiders! Very large! And very fast!"

"Spiders? Are there zombie spiders in Resident Evil?" Zheng Zha felt his scalp tingle.

"In the Resident Evil game series, there are such individuals. They are giant spiders, large spiders, and mutated small spiders infected with the T-Virus..."

Chu Xuan offered a reminder, then quickly pulled out something resembling a flamethrower from his spatial bag.

The thought of what he was about to face made Fang Ge feel incredibly disgusted.

No one liked constantly bursting, disgusting arthropods!

He raised the muzzle of Guanmai Great King, pulled the trigger, and blue fireworks spewed out, the faint light illuminating the pitch-black tunnel, allowing them to see the enemies' appearance.

"Damn it, a phobia trigger!"

Tens of thousands of head-sized spiders surged forward like a tide!
