A hundred flavors of life

Chapter 1297 Nobody's allowed to take this from me! (Please subscribe!)
Zheng Zha stepped forward and tried to tell Hua Shier that this place really was a movie world, just as Zhang Jie said. Didn't you see that Alice looked just like the movie stars?

Zhan Lan, the chubby boy, and the others all nodded in agreement, saying that Zheng Zha made sense. If Zhang Jie hadn't warned them beforehand that they would lose points for talking nonsense, they probably would have already blurted out the movie title "Resident Evil".

Hua Shier pretended to be confused and said:
“I don’t know any celebrities. We police officers are dedicated to serving the people. We don’t watch movies or know any celebrities. All I know is that they were illegally carrying weapons and kidnapped us here. They broke the law!”

After he finished speaking, he tucked the Desert Eagle into his belt, then swaggered over and began to remove the accessories, dagger, pistol, and two military grenades from Matthew's body.

Matthew's eyes flickered slightly when he saw that Hua Shier had put away his pistol.

He suddenly reached out and grabbed Hua Shier's wrist, then flipped over to face up, crossed his legs, and tried to lock Hua Shier's neck.

Hua Shier was exasperated. What kind of contestants were these? And they called themselves mercenary captains? They must have watched too much MMA.

As Matthew crossed his legs to lock him in, he took advantage of Matthew's wide-open defense and punched him in the groin. Locking technique? He broke it with a quick peck!
Matthew yelled and rolled on the ground, clutching his groin.

Hua Shier whistled: "You little trash, you ambushed me!"

He called out to Zheng Zha and the others:
"What are you standing there for? Quickly pick up those thugs' weapons. What if they have accomplices? Remember, keep your guns pointed downwards, don't point them at your own people, and don't put your fingers on the trigger."

"oh oh."

Zheng Zha and the others also realized what was happening and quickly suppressed their fear of the corpses to pick up the weapons on the ground. Although they knew that these mercenaries had no accomplices, there were zombies, and these weapons were their only protection.

At this moment, Matt, the white man handcuffed against—the same Matt from the 'Resident Evil' movie who impersonated a policeman to search for his sister at the Hive but was easily captured by the mercenary team—called out:

"Hey buddy, you can tell I'm not with these thugs just by looking at me in handcuffs. Could you untie me?"

Alice and Spencer had not yet recovered their memories and were somewhat confused, so neither of them spoke.

Zhan Lan picked up a gun from the ground, then walked up to Hua Twelve and said:
"Officer, we have something very important to discuss with you!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the new reincarnators, including Zheng Zha.

Although they hadn't communicated before, Zheng Zha and the others easily guessed what Zhan Lan wanted to do: to make the policeman in front of them face reality and tell him that this might be a horror movie.

Hua Shier glanced at Zhan Lan: "We'll talk about it later!"

He used the handcuffs he found on Matthew's body to cuff Matthew's hands behind his back, and then found handcuffs on the mercenary corpses to cuff Alice and Spencer.

Zheng Zha walked over at this moment:

"Comrade, we're safe now. We need to talk; it's very important!"

Zhan Lan, the chubby boy, the middle-aged man, and a young man who looked like a high school student all nodded in agreement with his statement.

Only the middle-aged woman seemed at a loss and didn't react. When Hua Shier asked for the weapons, she was the only one who didn't take them.

Hua Shier did not reply to Zheng Zha, but walked directly onto the platform through the open carriage door.

Zheng Zha and the others assumed that Hua Shier had agreed, so they all followed him out, hoping to avoid Matthew and the others and have a meeting.

Once on the platform, after confirming that the people in the carriage couldn't hear him, Zheng Zha lowered his voice and said:
"Comrade, something's fishy about this. I think that person was telling the truth. Let me introduce myself. My name is Zheng Zha, Zheng as in Zheng Chenggong, and Zha as in Nezha. I'm a company supervisor. Before I came here, I was complaining that the real world was too boring, and then two options appeared on my computer screen for me to choose from."

To convince Hua Shier that they were in the movie world, Zheng Zha recounted how he entered.

After listening to him finish speaking, Zhan Lan continued, "My name is Zhan Lan, Zhan as in Zhan Tianyou, and Lan as in the mountain breeze. I'm a professional writer. Before coming here, I kept complaining about not having any inspiration for writing, and then the options appeared on the computer."

The middle-aged man among the newlyweds also said:

“My name is Mou Gang. I’m a long-distance driver. Before I came here, I was very disappointed with reality. I clicked the confirmation button while playing games online with my friends, and that’s how I ended up here.”

The high school student introduced himself as Li Xiaoyi, the chubby boy as Wang Dahai, and the middle-aged woman as Liu Chunling; their entry process was similar.

Zheng Zha said to Hua Shier, "Comrade, you've seen it too, haven't you? We all came in without any explanation. Plus, this place is exactly like the Resident Evil movie, so this place must be real."

"Finished?"

Hua Twelve chuckled: "My name is Hua Twelve!"

After introducing himself, he walked to the back of the carriage and skillfully took out a backpack, the very one that Spencer used to carry the T-virus in the movie.

Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and the others exchanged bewildered glances, then realized that this person's claim of not having seen the movie was utter nonsense, yet they had actually believed him.

If you haven't seen the movie, how could you possibly pinpoint the exact location of Spencer's T-virus?

Zhan Lan blurted out, "You're lying! You know the plot perfectly well!"

"So what~?"

Hua Shier slung his backpack over his shoulder and asked with a nonchalant smile.

Zhan Lan was somewhat angry, but then became wary:
"So why did you kill that person? Are you even a police officer?"

Zheng Zha and the others also tensed up. Hua Shier had just killed people like flies. If he really was Uncle Hat, then it would be perfectly reasonable for him to choose to kill a threatening armed person. But if he was an imposter, then killing Zhang Jie would be intentional homicide. How could ordinary people like them not be nervous when facing a murderer?

Hua Twelve said calmly:
"Who I am is not important. What matters is what I did. That guy just now stuck a gun in this chubby Wang Dahai's mouth. I thought he was a dangerous person. Was I wrong to take the gun away?"

"He shot at me first, trying to kill me, so I killed him. There's nothing more to say about that, right?"

Zheng Zha corrected him, "He didn't intend to kill you. I saw him shoot at your leg!"

Hua Twelve chuckled:
"Are you an idiot? Don't forget what the mission is: don't leave Matthew's 100-meter radius. He broke my leg. When Matthew and the others enter the Hive, will he carry me or will you carry me? In the end, we'll both be wiped out anyway."

"So, is there any difference between him shooting me in the leg and him trying to kill me? The only difference is that I was eliminated by the system, but he didn't lose any points!"

When Hua Shier said that, everyone realized that it was indeed true. If they couldn't keep up with Matthew, they would die. If they injured their legs, they would probably die without a doubt. And Zhang Jie had indeed mentioned before that killing teammates would deduct reward points.

Zheng Zha then asked, "Then why did you kill characters from the story? They were all innocent!"

Hua Shier was speechless. No wonder Zheng Zha was called the Holy Mother at first; now it's clear it was true.

He sneered:
"When I killed that man, those mercenaries pointed their guns at me. Do you think they would have shot if I hadn't struck first?"

"Besides, don't you think my approach is very beneficial to you?"

"The mission on the wristwatch is for us to follow Matthew. Look at the size of that chubby Wang Dahai, and then look at this auntie. Are you sure they can keep up with the mercenaries? Won't fall behind by a hundred meters?"

According to that person, if you can't keep up, you'll be eliminated.

"But look at us now, Matthew is under our control, so there's no problem with him falling behind. He has to follow us now, which is called turning a passive situation into an active one!"

"As for you saying they're innocent, are you out of your mind? You were only focused on Alice's thighs during the movie, weren't you? Remember when Matt was arrested, and the female mercenary, unable to confirm whether he was a real policeman, said she wanted to kill him? These are mercenaries who do the dirty work for Umbrella Corporation, and you're telling me they're innocent?"

Hua Shier's series of counter-questions left Zheng Zha speechless, and the others also realized that the current situation was indeed in their favor.

Mu Gang's eyes lit up:
"Yes, now that Matthew is in our hands, we don't need to go into the Hive with him, nor do we need to face those zombies. We just need to wait for the countdown to end to complete the mission!"

The others also realized what was happening and agreed with Mu Gang's statement.

Hua Shier smiled and shook his head, then turned and walked into the carriage. Zheng Zha called out from behind, "You should know what's in your backpack. This thing is too dangerous. Why are you carrying it?"

"none of your business!"

Hua Shier is starting to dislike Zheng Zha. He meddles in everything. Can I tell you that this thing is also a considerable amount of reward points in the infinite flow genre?
He entered the carriage, first finding the computer expert among the mercenaries. He then removed the microcomputer from the corpse's arm, strapped it to his own arm, and pulled out his Desert Eagle, pointing it at Matthew, Alice, and the others.

"Your Umbrella Corporation's case has been exposed. Now come with me into the Hive and cooperate with the investigation!"

Matt was overjoyed: "Wow, my sister is in the Hive! I came here to find her. I'll go with you!"

The newcomers following behind Hua Twelve were dumbfounded. Mu Gang said anxiously:

"No, bro, didn't we agree not to go in? Why are you doing this?!"

Hua Shier turned around and walked to the crowd, speaking in a voice that only a few could hear:

"I didn't agree to that. Don't forget what that guy said before: 10 zombies for 1 reward point, 100 crawlers for 1 reward points. Anyone who tries to stop me from making money is my enemy. You'd better watch out!"

All the newcomers were stunned; they never expected Hua Shier to be so crazy.

Take out the handcuff key he found on Matthew and throw it to Matt:

"Open it yourself, then follow along!"

Matt was overjoyed and quickly unlocked the handcuffs, also unlocking Alice's. Just as he was about to unlock Spencer's handcuffs, Hua Twelve said irritably:
"That's enough. The other two don't seem like good people, so handcuff them!"

He reached out to Matt, who reluctantly tossed the keys over.

As Matt unlocked his handcuffs, outside the carriage, the newlyweds were discussing things. Li Xiaoyi said:

"No, we have to stop him! He'll endanger us all! It's too dangerous inside the Hive!"

Everyone else nodded in agreement, but Mu Gang said worriedly, "But he has a gun, and it's obvious he's trained. We can't stop him at all!" Now, several of them had guns, but none of them had thought of using them against Hua Shier. Could these people with guns compare to those mercenaries? Those mercenaries wouldn't even be enough to kill him, so how could they dare to even consider such a thing?

Zheng Zha, whether out of a sense of responsibility or simply being overly sentimental, said, "I'll go and try to persuade him again!"

Zhan Lan stopped him, saying, "No need to persuade him. Have you forgotten the movie? The Hive's gate was cut open by the mercenaries with welding torches. He definitely can't get in!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they instantly stopped worrying.

Hua Shier led Matthew and the others out of the carriage and headed straight for the Hive's gate along the platform. The newlyweds followed closely behind, waiting to see the former suffer a setback.

When they arrived at the gate, Hua Shier used a microcomputer to connect to the gate and quickly cracked the password of the honeycomb gate, successfully opening the gate.

"Let's go!"

Hua Shier called out, bringing the shocked crowd back to their senses.

Knowing how difficult it was to open the door, Matthew couldn't help but ask, "This door doesn't have a correct password; it would take at least two hours to crack. How did you manage to do it?"

Hua Shier shrugged: "It's very simple, anyone with hands can do it!"

His top-tier assassin skill set includes hacking skills. Although not as advanced as the T1000 or the AI, cracking this twenty-year-old gadget is still quite easy for him.

Zheng Zha and the others sighed. The door opening meant danger was coming, but because they had to follow Matthew, they had no choice but to risk their lives.

Alice followed Hua Twelve into the hive and asked, "Can you tell me what happened? Who are you all?"

Hua Shier countered, "Does this place look familiar?"

Alice nodded; "I seem to remember it!"

Hua Shier laughed and said, "Then you don't need to ask anymore. Just come inside with me for a walk, and I guarantee you'll regain your memories!"

He said he used the miniature computer on his arm to open the Hive map, figured out the route, and then found the passage to go downstairs.

With the elevator out of service, everyone had no choice but to take the stairs downstairs, just like in the original storyline.

In the original storyline, middle-aged woman Liu Chunling and chubby boy Wang Dahai were killed by the main god because they couldn't keep up with the group while going down the stairs.

Now that Matthew has been subdued by Hua Shier, everyone is slowly going downstairs. It can be said that the former saved both of their lives.

Down to the bottom floor, Hua Shier led the group straight to Restaurant B. Sure enough, they found that this was not a restaurant at all, but rather a collection of huge metal chambers. He knew that these chambers contained the Lickers.

Hua Shier did not take advantage of the fact that these Lickers were still under control to eliminate them, because he would suffer a loss if he received fewer reward points that way.

He plans to wait for the Red Queen to release these monsters so he can go on a killing spree and earn points.

After passing through Restaurant B, we arrived at the laser tunnel.

Zheng Zha warned, "Be careful, I remember this place is dangerous!"

Hua Shier pushed Matthew into the laser tunnel and followed him in.

The next instant, the door slammed shut, and then laser beams began to appear—not one, not two, but a laser net that immediately covered the two of them.

Everyone gasped in surprise. Zheng Zha, quick-witted, shouted, "Hua Twelve, quickly take Matthew and stay close to the door. Maybe we'll have a chance to survive."

Hua Shier frowned slightly. That was exactly what he had planned: to follow Zheng Zha's original storyline, farm the 5,000 points to save Matthew, and complete a B-level side quest.

But now that Zheng Zha has said it, if he does it, will the reward go to Zheng Zha or Hua Shier?

Even if they split it in half, Hua Shier still felt it wasn't right for him.

He immediately froze, grabbing Matthew with his left hand as he tried to run towards the door, while firing his Desert Eagle at the wall with his right.

Hua12 calculates the location of the laser emitter based on the laser beam, and destroys the laser emitter head with one shot each. The next instant, the laser net disappears and the laser channel gate opens.

At that very moment, a cold and solemn voice rang in my mind: "B-level horror side quest completed, reward 5,000 points!"

Hua Shier's lips curled up; the reward was in his hands.

Passing through the laser tunnel, they arrived at the Red Queen's main control room. At this moment, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan finally sensed that something was wrong:

"You're not thinking of turning that off, are you?!"

Hua Twelve walked straight inside, saying without turning his head:
"You guessed right, but there's no prize. Don't stop me, or I guarantee you'll die even faster!"

The newlyweds all tried to persuade her, but they couldn't say it openly in front of Matthew, Alice, and the others. At this moment, the Red Queen, the AI ​​in the Hive, also projected a holographic image, trying to explain the seriousness of the situation to everyone.

Hua Shier pretended not to hear, walked over, calculated with his left hand, and fired at the mainframe of the Red Queen with his right.

The next instant, all the lights in the hive went out, proving that the Red Queen mainframe had been shut down, which also meant that the zombies had been released!
Hua Shier went up and removed the Red Queen motherboard, estimating that this would be another substantial amount of reward points.

Zheng Zha and the others were all anxious and furious: "Look what you've done!"

Hua Shier put the Red Queen motherboard into his backpack and said calmly, "Stop comparing, or I won't save you later!"

At that moment, the lights flashed and then instantly turned on, and the electronic doors and elevator doors that had been sealed off throughout the Hive opened one by one.

Hua Shier slung his backpack back on, grabbed Spencer, walked to the laser corridor entrance, and shot the guy in the thigh, sending him crashing to his knees, bleeding profusely, while screaming in agony.

In that instant, images of her intimate moments with Spencer flashed through Alice's mind:

No, you can't hurt him!

She immediately tried to protect Spencer, and Hua Shier kicked her right away:
"Get out of the way, don't get in my way!"

Alice instinctively dodged the kick, then leaped into the air and executed a spinning back kick.

This is clearly a subconscious reaction from a body enhanced by the T-virus.

Hua Shier didn't dodge or flinch, but instead stepped forward and closed in, delivering a Phoenix Eye Fist that struck Alice in the waist, exactly the same spot where Zhang Jie was punched—the Zhangmen acupoint under her ribs.

Zhang Jie is a veteran who has experienced three horror movies. The first horror movie he experienced was "A Nightmare on Elm Street 1".

In that horror movie, he became the first person in the Central Continent team to unlock his genetic lock and passed the Guide's test to gain recognition. However, because it was a special horror movie called "A Nightmare on Elm Street 1", the main god could not pause his consciousness. When he was halfway merging with the Guide, he suffered a mental backlash and became a half-Guide and half-Reincarnation Team Leader.

After he became a semi-guide, the main god gave him the task of finding the next captain among the new recruits. So here's the problem: if he completes the main god's task and chooses someone else as captain, then he, as a guide, will completely disappear and cannot be resurrected.

So, in order to avoid disappearing, Zhang Jie killed all the newcomers in the next two horror movies, "Scream 2" and "Final Destination 1", racking up at least double A scores in the side storylines. After racking up scores, he could exchange them for the double A-level skills Telekinesis and Eye of Suggestion.

According to the original storyline, Zhang Jie should have a second-tier strength, and with the ability to temporarily draw upon the power of the guide, his strength could be further enhanced.

Logically speaking, Hua Shier's current ordinary human body is incomparable to Zhang Jie, who has unlocked his genetic potential and possesses telekinetic abilities. However, he rendered Zhang Jie unable to resist with a single punch and then killed him directly.

That's because Hua Shier used a specific technique when striking the Zhangmen acupoint.

Zhangmen is the intersection point of the liver and gallbladder meridians. Stimulating it can interfere with the central nervous system, causing a person to lose consciousness instantly.

Zhang Jie was hit by the punch, causing his limbs to go numb and his consciousness to become unclear. He couldn't even use telekinesis, let alone Alice, who hadn't recovered yet.

One punch and he was instantly knocked down.

Hua Shier fired another shot at Spencer's other leg with his Desert Eagle, and even more blood appeared on the ground.

Spencer cried out in pain, and soon the smell of blood and his cries attracted a large number of newly released zombies.

Hua Shier raised his Desert Eagle and began firing in bursts, one shot after another, every bullet hitting its mark.

Only then did everyone realize that he was using blood and screams to attract zombies to kill him.

The zombies were no match for them. A few minutes later, dozens of Lickers and zombie dogs arrived at the scene. Everyone in the server room was terrified. Matthew shouted at Zheng Zha and the others, "Fire! Fire now!"

Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and the others then realized what was happening and grabbed their weapons to come and help.

Hua Shier said without turning his head, "No one is allowed to help. Anyone who tries to steal the monster, don't blame me for being impolite!"

He spoke while firing continuously, taking down Lickers and zombie dogs with a single shot each; bullets went straight into his eyes, and even the thickest skin couldn't withstand them.

The killing spree lasted for nearly an hour. The recoil from the constant shooting caused Hua Shier's hand to swell up. When no more zombies arrived, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the hall outside the laser corridor, it was already filled with the corpses of zombie creatures, making it impossible to get out.

Hua Shier was really worried. There must still be zombies that couldn't get in because the roads were blocked. What a pity! To make up for the loss, he shot Spencer, who was about to bleed to death.

At that moment, the countdown ended, a flash of white light, and everyone disappeared into the hive, leaving only Alice, who had been injured and was still recovering, and Matt and Matthew, who looked terrified and incredulous.
