Courtyard House: I fish in the heavens, a professional bird abuser.

"boom--!!!"

A loud bang was heard, and even in the underground platform dozens of meters deep, the tremor could be felt clearly.

The fluorescent light overhead shook violently a few times, scattering wisps of dust.

coming.

That was the sound of the villa's gate being blown up by a directional explosion.

James Sheldon, the responsible black captain who ended up in a tragic way, led his elite squad and finally forced his way into the "haunted house".

He Yuanchao remained with his eyes closed, leaning against that dark corner like a statue.

But his ears were picking up every sound coming from the air.

The sound of heavy tactical boots pounding on solid wood flooring.

That distinctive, rhythmic, well-trained sound of footsteps.

"Safety!"

"Clear the lobby!"

"Clear the second floor!"

"Target located! A woman, unconscious, vital signs stable!"

"Damn it, this is a side effect of the nerve gas."

……

The faint sound of radio communication could be heard.

He Yuanchao silently assessed the situation in his mind.

"This tactical awareness... is so-so."

"That's equivalent to the level of an ordinary reconnaissance platoon in our world of 'Bright Sword'."

"The mutual cover was done well, but there were too many blind spots in the search."

"If they had encountered a true master of stealth, like Monk Wei, at least two of them would be down by now."

"The technological equipment is quite impressive: night vision goggles, tactical flashlights, automatic rifles..."

"But unfortunately, they were too rigid in their approach to warfare and didn't know how to be flexible."

"Why would they line up in such a narrow corridor? If a Licker suddenly appeared, it could skewer the candied hawthorns with a single lick."

He Yuanchao mentally activated his sarcastic commentary mode.

As a commander who has led large-scale military operations and fought in nuclear war, watching these corporate mercenaries act is like a special forces soldier watching Boy Scouts play house.

Not long after.

The chaotic footsteps began to move underground.

"Everyone, check your gas masks!"

"We're about to enter the 'Hive' entrance!"

"There may be residual poison gas down there!"

With a humming sound of machinery running.

The hidden door leading to the underground platform slowly opened.

Several blinding beams of tactical flashlights instantly pierced the darkness underground, swaying wildly in the deathly silent space.

"Attention all units!"

"We need to find the train; that's the only entrance!"

"Stay alert!"

Several fully armed special forces members, carrying submachine guns, cautiously advanced, searching the area.

Their movements were precise, with guns pointed at every possible threat.

The female team member, Rain, who was wearing a black tight-fitting combat vest and had a cold expression, walked at the front.

Her eyes were fierce, and her finger remained on the trigger guard.

Following behind were Alice, whom they had just "awakened" and brought down, and Matt (the environmentalist who wanted to expose the crimes of the Umbrella Corporation), who had also just been awakened and was still pretending to be stupid.

Alice's face was still a little pale, and she looked around at everything in a daze.

Her memory is a blank.

But when her hand unconsciously touched the note in her pocket, a strange intuition instantly brought her to her senses.

"Someone... is here."

Alice thought to herself.

She didn't have time to read the note, but the feeling was very strong.

Just then.

A beam of flashlight swept across the corner of the wall.

He swept over the pile of "corpses" lying haphazardly.

Then, suddenly, the frame freezes!

Among the pile of corpses dressed in black uniforms, a person in blue overalls stood out conspicuously.

"Attention! Ten o'clock!"

"Unidentified person spotted!"

"It seems... she's still breathing!"

Rain shouted and instantly pointed her gun at them.

The other team members immediately surrounded them in a fan shape.

"Don't move! Hands up!"

Captain Xue De shouted sternly.

In such a closed and highly confidential area, anyone who is not part of the official staff poses a huge threat.

in the corner.

The person in the blue overalls seemed to have been blinded by the bright light and let out a painful groan.

He slowly raised his hand to shield his eyes, as if he had just woken up from a hangover, his movements slow and filled with confusion.

"Ouch...where the hell am I?"

"Who turned on the light? It's hurting my eyes..."

A standard Chinese sentence, tinged with a Beijing accent, came out of the mouth of the "survivor" as he swore.

Although the team members couldn't understand what he was saying, the dissatisfaction and bewilderment in his tone were something that people from any country could understand.

"English! Speak English!"

Ryan roared fiercely, taking a step closer.

He Yuanchao chuckled inwardly.

This little vixen has quite a temper.

He slowly opened his eyes, adjusted to the bright light, and then pretended to see the row of dark gun muzzles in front of him, immediately putting on an expression that said, "I'm so scared, but I'm a law-abiding citizen."

Of course, this fear was only on the surface. If you looked closely into his eyes, you would find that they were as clear as a deep pool, without any panic at all.

"Don't shoot! I'm one of them!"

He Yuanchao immediately switched to fluent and authentic American English.

"I'm from headquarters... um, a special technical advisor."

"I'm here to fix that damn circuit."

"The results came down not long ago, and then the alarms started going off everywhere in this lousy place, and then... I don't know what happened next."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up.

He deliberately patted the dust off his clothes and pointed to his dirty work clothes.

"Are you a rescue team?"

"Thank goodness, you've finally arrived."

"This place is practically a graveyard. These people..." He pointed to the corpses at his feet, "...they just collapsed suddenly, it scared me to death...cough cough, it scared me to death."

Captain Xue frowned and looked the Asian man up and down.

Too calm.

Although he was pretending to be scared, his composure came from the bottom of his heart.

Moreover, at the entrance to the Hive where the entire army was wiped out, why was he the only one who survived?

"Technical consultant?"

Xue De asked coldly.

Where is your ID card?

"Here it is."

He Yuanchao very cooperatively took out the top-level access card from his pocket, which was forged by the system but was absolutely legal.

"It's in my left pocket. Take it yourself, I won't touch it."

A team member stepped forward, cautiously took the card, and swiped it on a portable card reader.

"drop--"

A striking red pop-up window suddenly appeared on the screen that should have been displaying information about ordinary employees.

[Access Level: Level 9]

[Position: Special Inspector – Alex He]

[WARNING: Top-secret personnel, please provide assistance!]

The team member's hand trembled violently, almost dropping the card reader to the ground.

He stared incredulously at the screen and then at the disheveled "repairman" in front of him.

"Team... Captain..."

The team members' voices were all stuttering.

"Wh...what?"

"This card...this...it grants level nine access!"

"He's an inspector from headquarters!"

"What did you say?!"

Xue De was dumbfounded.

Level 9 access?

That's a legendary level. Apart from those old monsters on the board of directors, who else is qualified?

He initially thought it was just a thief who had sneaked in or a lucky junior employee.

Turns out... this was a god-level being!

In an instant, the tense atmosphere changed.

The gun barrels pointed at He Yuanchao all lowered themselves slightly.

Looking at the reactions of these people, He Yuanchao's lips curled into a barely perceptible sneer.

Indeed, no matter which world it is.

Power is always the most useful passport.

He straightened his collar, which still looked upright despite being covered in dust, and dropped his timid expression.

In an instant, a sense of authority, typical of someone long accustomed to a position of power, erupted from those eyes.

He looked at Xue De and said calmly:

"What? Can you put your gun down now, Captain?"

"We still have a long way to go."

"If we don't hurry, that crazy girl Red Queen won't wait until we finish dinner before locking the door."

The entire room fell silent.

Xue De swallowed hard and finally waved his hand.

"Put down your gun."

"Sir... I'm sorry to offend you."

"However, I need you to stay with our group, for your... safety."

"certainly."

He Yuanchao shrugged indifferently and strode into the group.

He paused slightly as he passed Alice.

The two exchanged a glance.

Alice looked at the mysterious Eastern man, and that inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in her heart again.

He Yuanchao simply winked at her, a signal that only the two of them could understand.
