Chat group, starting from the Infinite Terror God Space

"By the way, Wang Qi, why did you bring up the virus earlier and try to help them find the traitor sooner? Aren't you worried about changing the plot?"

Hearing this, the others also looked over, wondering why Wang Qi did this, even though they knew about the danger of changing the plot.

"Of course there are reasons. Do you remember what happened at the end of the story?"

At the end of the story? Doesn't the ending mean that Alice and the others finally escaped the Hive after going through all sorts of hardships?

Zheng Zha and the others recalled the plot of Resident Evil 1, but did not remember any noteworthy events that occurred later in the series.

"Oh no, Kaplan has shut down the Flame Queen!"

After Zhan Lan reminded them, Zheng Zha and the others also remembered this part of the story, and their expressions immediately turned sour.

"So, you sent the mercenaries to find the antidote just to delay Kaplan's decision to shut down the Flame Queen?"

"That's right. If nothing unexpected happens, we will encounter some danger once the defense system is shut down, which is why we need to postpone Kaplan's shutdown of the Flame Queen."

Zhan Lan smiled and was about to ask something else when Zhang Jie suddenly stood up. He rushed to the window of the steel door and looked out, startling the other three, who followed him. But when they looked through the glass window, all they could see in the passageway was bright light; there was nothing else.

Zhang Jie turned around and shouted, "Flame Queen, report what happened outside the control room!"

A little girl's voice suddenly rang out in the room: "Two crawlers are attacking the outermost gate, which can remain sealed for another forty seconds."

Zhang Jie immediately turned around cursing and said, "Damn it, I knew things weren't that simple! Those crawlers must have smelled us. The outermost gate couldn't stop them at all. Luckily we hid here. I wonder how long these three gates can hold out." After saying that, he raised his watch to take a closer look.

The group immediately checked the countdown on their watches; there were about seventeen minutes left. They didn't know if the three large gates and the laser defense tunnels could stop these crawlers; their weapons were simply no match for such powerful mutated creatures.

Zheng Zha didn't want to die here, especially since there was still hope of survival. He quickly shouted, "Flame Queen, quickly calculate how much longer we can hold out!"

The little girl's voice didn't ring out again. After a moment, Zheng Zha suddenly pointed his pistol at the mainframe and said, "Flame Queen, I know your program is designed to prevent the T-virus from spreading. In other words, you want to kill any life form that could cause the virus to spread, including us, right? Then make a decision now: activate the defense system to protect us, or let the crawlers outside rush in. But before they come in, I'll destroy your motherboard first. Then the entire hive will lose your control. Think about how many virus carriers will escape outside?"

The child's voice paused for a moment before finally ringing out, "May I ask? Since you've already stayed here, why are you continuing to struggle? Weren't you already planning to sacrifice yourselves?"

Before Zheng Zha could speak, Zhan Lan behind him shouted, "Computers can't just question humans! You need to be aware of your role as a computer, understand? Besides, we're already here. Whether we die or not, we won't let the virus spread, right? So why aren't you protecting us, Flame Queen little girl?"

The child's voice paused again before saying, "I understand, the crawlers cannot get through the final defense."

During this brief pause in the conversation, the steel gate on the other side of the passage rattled loudly, and the massive body of the crawler was vaguely visible through the glass window of the gate. After several loud bangs, they could even see some sharp protrusions appearing on the steel gate. "What terrifying power! No wonder it's a monster worth 100 reward points... If we had a rocket launcher with unlimited ammo, we could open the gate and earn reward points here, haha!" Zhang Jie laughed heartily.

Zheng Zha casually asked, "The Desert Eagle with unlimited ammo costs 100 reward points, and there's also a rocket launcher with unlimited ammo?"

Zhang Jie said, "Of course, but they are very expensive. The most basic single-soldier rocket launcher costs two thousand reward points. With so many reward points, I might as well strengthen my own attributes. Besides, not every horror movie can be safely survived with weapons."

As they spoke, the steel gate opposite them was completely deformed. The crawler's sharp, huge claws were terrifyingly powerful, tearing apart a steel plate more than ten centimeters long. With a loud bang, two crawlers appeared in everyone's sight.

Standing several meters tall, these reptiles have crimson muscles all over their bodies. They have no eyes and seem to use heat and smell to find creatures. Their tongues can extend to more than a meter in length. Their two huge forepaws have evolved to become a pair of enormous claws that cannot be described in words. Their hardness is comparable to steel, or perhaps even greater!

Zheng Zha looked at the two crawlers, then at the pistol in his hand. He couldn't believe that he could kill such terrifying creatures with just a pistol. Let alone kill them, it would be a miracle if he could even hurt them.

The two crawlers glanced toward the passage, then one of them lunged forward, followed closely by the other. With a loud bang, everyone felt the steel gate in front of them shake violently. This was their last line of defense against the crawlers. In a single leap, the crawler had already pounced onto the steel gate.

"The Flame Queen!"

Wang Qi and Zheng Zha roared simultaneously. Almost at the same time, a flash of light appeared somewhere in the passage, and a thin laser line quickly formed and rushed towards the two crawlers. Just as the two crawlers were about to pounce on the steel gate again, the laser line had already passed them. With two soft sounds, the laser line disappeared without a trace, and the two crawlers fell completely still. Slowly, their huge bodies split in the middle, and finally, their upper and lower bodies broke into two pieces.

"call!"

All five of them breathed a sigh of relief. The immense pressure from the crawler was overwhelming. Ordinary people seemed insignificant in its presence. A life could be ended instantly with a single claw strike from the crawler. There was absolutely no chance of winning against the crawler. Once the gate was broken, they would surely die!

Suddenly, the entire server room went dark. The five men were stunned for a moment, then they jumped up and rushed to the glass window of the door to look outside. Sure enough, the laser tunnel outside had also turned pitch black, and the entire server room had lost power.

"It's not working?"

Wang Qi stared intently at the dark passage, his heart pounding with tension. Even though no one had died in this place in the original story, it didn't mean they wouldn't die here.

Wang Qi browsed through the red envelopes sent by Luo Ji, but no matter what kind of weapon he used, it couldn't give him any sense of security. Ordinary firearms were useless against monsters like the Crawler, let alone the things in the supermarket.

The group stopped talking, as any sound could attract the crawlers.

Soon, the only sounds in the darkness were the breathing and heartbeats of a few people.
