Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 214 Heading to the Mother Nest
To Mu Xiang's relief, Alice was relatively easy to fool at this point... and wasn't very wary of him. After all, Alice hadn't yet experienced too many double agents protecting her.

"You mean, I'll also experience this...change?" Alice wanted to say "mutation," but she used a milder word instead.

Mu Xiang nodded: "That's right, I myself have extremely enhanced physical strength... and at the same time, I also have abilities similar to telekinesis."

He explained that he had cleaved the tracker in two with a single blow, attributing it to some kind of telekinesis... Although Alice was skeptical and even suspected it was some kind of advanced Kung Fu, she stopped worrying about it after hearing Mu Xiang say that he would have it in the future.

When Mu Xiang is deceiving people, if he's going to lie, he'll tell a lie that the other person can verify. Alice's awakening of telekinesis is just a matter of time, and theoretically, she could produce a similar effect.

It seemed that this was how he had been deceiving Chu Xuan: he would present information that was both unverifiable and verifiable, which was half true and half false, and it would have an effect very quickly... Although Chu Xuan and he only had a preliminary mutual trust at the time, the fact that he could not disprove his ability to verify the third and fourth-order gene locks in another parallel world the next day greatly increased Mu Xiang's credibility.

No matter how intelligent Chu Xuan is, he still needs intelligence and information... and within that scope, he can be fooled.

Wait, why did I say "seems"?

Mu Xiang was still chatting with Alice, but his heart skipped a beat...

Is something wrong with my brain? Is it because I'm about to enter the fourth stage...? Why are some of my memories becoming uncertain?

Could it be that Zhang Jie has targeted me...? No, even if he weren't that kind of person, he couldn't possibly do something like this.

Mu Xiang suppressed his doubts and told Alice about the experiences of the Zhongzhou team members, as well as the current situation.

“Then I’ll join too,” Alice said seriously. “The Umbrella Corporation will have to pay a price… If we have the chance, we can try to find James and his team.”

In this timeline, since Alice and her group were all uninfected when they left the Hive, James's team and environmentalist Matt were not used as experimental subjects, but were secretly imprisoned.

As for Alice, the company's plans for her have been in place for a long time... Having experienced the Hive leak, she will not be let go by the company no matter what. This will not be affected by Team Central's "Resident Evil".

"Too many people have been harmed because of Umbrella Corporation..." Mu Xiang sighed, "Whether it's the STARS officers or the soldiers used as cannon fodder. Now, there are also the 100,000 people in Raccoon City..."

“And their families, their friends…” Alice whispered. “We work for Umbrella and this is the price we pay; but there are countless innocent people… so Umbrella Corporation must also pay the price!”

Under Mu Xiang's guidance, Alice carefully sensed the enhancements to her body... Theoretically, she should have a Tier 1 gene lock plus a Grade C T-virus enhancement. Although this level of enhancement was insufficient for Mu Xiang even when he first acquired Grade B enhancement, it was an incredibly significant boost for Alice.

Alice already had a solid foundation in physical skills, and when she adapted to the T-virus enhancement, her movements startled even herself.

"Change your clothes after you go out," Mu Xiang said, pushing up his glasses.

Alice was only wearing a white lab coat she'd grabbed from the lab, and she didn't even have shoes. Hearing this, she smiled: "What's wrong?" Mu Xiang pushed open the back door of the hospital: "Don't you think it's inconvenient to move around like this?"

"This kid is so boring..." Alice thought to herself.

It was already dawn when they reunited with the rest of the group. Although they hadn't been able to contact Mu Xiang, with Zheng Zha protecting them and Zhan Lan scanning them, none of them encountered any real danger.

Two trackers approached them midway, but under Zhan Lan's mental control, the two trackers started fighting each other. Of course, the Central Continent team explained to the others that Mu Xiang had hacked the control system.

Seeing that Mu Xiang had brought one more person back, Carlos whistled: "Our team is full of beauties."

Zheng Zha complained in the Mind Chain, "They're whistling after only two?" Then he was kicked by Zhan Lan, but he was still confused after being kicked.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "It's the early morning of September 29th... I don't know how many survivors are left. We can find a new base to settle down first, and then consider rescuing people."

Mikhail nodded in agreement: "That's right, so where do you think would be the most suitable?"

“The Mother Nest…” Mu Xiang smiled. “Dr. William’s base. We were going back to get vaccines and things, weren’t we? After such a long period of ventilation, the air inside is already safe.”

Alice thought for a moment and then said, "Dr. William's base? I almost got transferred there... but I don't know why it was canceled. Now that I think about it, it must be because the company and William had a falling out?"

Mu Xiang nodded: "That's right... The Mother Nest is different from other bases; it didn't go through a proper evacuation process. In other words, the defense facilities inside are still usable. With us protecting the perimeter, it will be very safe here. Moreover, like the Hive, the Mother Nest has a dedicated evacuation train, which is even safer than a subway."

“Hehe, having insiders like you makes things so much more convenient… unlike us who do the dirty work, we can only use the subway,” Mikhail laughed.

The old officer's injuries had improved significantly, and seeing that the situation was improving, his spirits had also lifted considerably. Mu Xiang glanced at his abdominal wound; not only had the bandages been changed, but the internal wounds had also healed considerably. It seemed he had used the bandages and hemostatic spray Mu Xiang had provided.

"The mother hive, the beehive... Does the Umbrella Corporation have some kind of obsession with hives?" Zheng Zha thought to himself.

Mu Xiang smiled upon hearing this. In this worldview, the game and the movie have merged to some extent. The movie features an underground experimental base called Hive, while Resident Evil 2 Remake names William's underground experimental base Nest. This is actually a result of the mutual influence between the game and the movie.

Zheng Zha, born in 2007, had only played the original Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, so he naturally didn't know that the Mother Nest came about, and thus only complained about the Umbrella Corporation.

[It's not just some exchanges; many movie plots unfold in ways that align with my understanding... from minor translations to major plot developments in different versions and eras. The God of War is really giving me too much face... The more I think about it, the more something seems off.]

As Mu Xiang directed everyone toward the mother nest, he silently made plans in his mind.
