Chapter 7 · Frankness
The suspicion was proven.
Mou Gang is still alive, not dead. He didn't look surprised or panicked... Obviously, he was not forcibly involved in the challenge of the laser tunnel as he was just a bystander as set out in the original work. He was just a bystander and survived to the end of the tunnel incident unharmed. .
——I blocked the disaster for him...is this considered saving a life?
Jiang Yu felt a little happy and proud inside. His eyes met Matthew Addison's. The latter nodded to him and led the people past him.
——The mercenaries' trust in us has strengthened... Then some things can no longer be hidden. The scene of me injecting myself with the medicine may not have been captured by the Flame Queen's camera. And as the situation changes, sooner or later the suitcase in my hand will attract other people's attention.
Jiang Yu thought that he saw the mercenary captain walking up to the dead licker and stretching out his hand, as if to touch the licker's flesh and blood, perhaps rubbing and licking it like an experienced hunter. one time.
This is wrong - if Jiang Yu had been in the Red Queen's computer room a few minutes ago, he would have realized that this was a test immediately after seeing the mercenary captain's judgment. And the target of the temptation may be him.
He didn't know it, but the decision he just made changed his luck.
"I think it's best not to touch that, as it may cause infection." Jiang Yu said. The moment he spoke, Matthew's fingers stopped a few centimeters away from the licker's remains.
The mercenary captain stood up - he didn't say anything, just stared at the Licker's remains for a few seconds. Especially at the exposed part of the brain that was beaten to pieces, his vision gradually changed from relaxed to serious.
"The flaws are too obvious, but this is a mature product that has begun mass production. This shows that its advantages in other aspects can completely cover up its own shortcomings... We are lucky that we don't have to wait until they are unfrozen to move freely. They fought against each other. A lot of unnecessary damage was avoided."
He glanced at his team, even damaged in the laser tunnel. There are still a dozen elite warriors who have left their fate in his hands.
"Divide into three groups, blast the freezers and kill them before they can regain their mobility. Prioritize the heads, then the torso. Don't touch the closed doors, but give all those who are found a way to lead to other places. All portals are marked - and if you notice any suspicious anomalies, don't hesitate to shoot immediately."
His instructions were immediately fulfilled, and the mercenaries responded loudly, and then divided into groups to participate in the battle. Along with the explosions and rapid gunshots, the lickers who were sealed in the freezer one after another, and the sedative drugs had not yet worn off, quickly met their deaths.
Zhan Lan once conceived in the original work that by using plastic explosives to directly kill all the lickers, he would be able to earn at least several thousand reward points.
And now, her wish has come true. Although it is a pity that the reincarnations do not even have any reward points, but perhaps because of this, the Lord God did not bring additional tests to those who tried to increase their points.
"Jiang, come here." Matthew waved to Jiang Yu.
Behind him, J.D gave him a gentle push.
"Tell the truth." J.D's voice sounded softly next to Jiang Yu, and then he immediately left, joining Leanne in forming a team to annihilate the Sleeping Lickers. When he left, he deliberately bumped his knee against the suitcase Jiang Yu was carrying with him. Rather than giving a hint, he slapped the answer directly on Jiang Yu's face.
Indeed, for the true professionals. Even if Jiang Yu's acting skills are clever, there are still too many amateurish flaws. Whether they see through or not depends solely on their perception and recognition of Jiang Yu, and fortunately, Mr. Jiang is not doing too badly at this point.
Jiang Yu walked over - Matthew thoughtfully chose a perspective that no one else could see. But before the conversation began, the mercenary captain's gaze that looked up and down like a blade made Jiang Yu feel numb.
But fortunately it didn't last long.
"I thought you might have some stories to share with us, Ginger."
——My speaking skills are very average. I can give a homework PPT on stage. If I want to sell a product, I have to hope that the other party will have the intention to buy it from the beginning... So, this time I'd better rely on the 'product' to do the talking.
Jiang Yu nodded and said nothing. He simply opened the suitcase he was carrying with him. The two rows of blue-green potions in the box made Matthew raise his eyebrows.
"What's this?"
"The company's products - perhaps also the hive's secrets. I remembered not long ago that the company has been studying some mysterious virus, and when I saw this box, I realized that there might have been a virus outbreak in the hive Leaked. Then...I gradually remembered a lot."
"Isn't this your box?" Matthew frowned, then relaxed. "No, it's not important. What we want to solve is not this problem, and compared to you who are unconscious together. The person who is alone and hiding in the carriage is more... um, continue?"
"The leakage of the virus may cause serious infections. People will die, and then they will stand up again like a hermit crab driven by the virus and attack other people. In addition, there should be many biochemical weapons in the hive... …I know that the red one is called the Licker, but as for the other ones… I haven’t remembered them yet, or I don’t know…”
"So that's it. No wonder the Flame Queen would do that... Jiang, I don't really like people hiding things from me. But I don't want to pry too much into Umbrella's secrets. This box..." He glanced at the injection gun. With his eyesight, it was not difficult to find that the injection gun had been used not long ago. But he said nothing because compared to other information, this matter was not very important.
"...Just leave it here for now. If something unexpected happens and you need to use it, I think you will remember its use in time."
Jiang Yu nodded repeatedly.
"Very good." A smile appeared on Matthew's tough guy face. "Jiang, you know how to use a gun... eavesdropping on other people's conversations is not a good habit. Zheng, if you were one of my soldiers, I would have dragged you out and given you a beating by now."
He stared at a corner of the cabinet on the side - this was an external cabinet for refrigeration, not a storage cabinet containing lickers - Zheng Zha was standing there with a sly smile.
"Sorry, I saw you were chatting for a bit long...is there anything I can do to help?"
If Jiang Yu was not moved even a little bit by this intention of rescuing the siege at this moment, then he was a cold-blooded bastard. Although he was still generally under control of the situation this time, he finally understood a fact.
——Sure enough... Zheng Zha can become the core of the Zhongzhou team. It doesn’t rely on the halo of the protagonist, nor the so-called hypocrisy... because I can’t do it in a different place.
——Maybe I can surpass him in the short term with my prophetic advantage, but in terms of team affinity... I probably will never be able to match him.
Jiang Yu made a decision in her heart.
And Matthew just looked at him slightly speechless.
"We've already finished talking...but you came at the right time. Zheng, can you use a gun?"
"Uh... can you use it a little?" Zheng Zha scratched his head. "Did I receive some military training some time ago?" Some time ago, this 'before' may be a bit long.
Matthew looked at Jiang Yu.
"Can aim and pull the trigger...ah, I know to turn on the safety before shooting."
Very good, two military blind men who know everything.
Matthew shook his head, as if he wanted to curse Umbrella's mentally retarded HR for hiring such a stupid security guard. He thought for two seconds and finally gave each of them a pistol.
"Before shooting, turn on the safety, hold it with two hands, and don't point the gun at anyone. There are thirty rounds of bullets. If you really need to use it, don't shoot them all in one go."
The gun was very heavy, and Jiang Yu, who was a military blind man, couldn't tell that it was a magical model. While the two of them were subconsciously studying the newly acquired weapons. Matthew held them down and pushed in the direction of the other newcomers.
"I think you may need some time for free discussion. And before we deal with these skinless monsters, I suggest that you also become familiar with the weapons in your hands."
The two of them returned to the ranks of the newcomers in a daze, because their heads were really hit by the armed pie falling from the sky. When the two recovered, the remaining three were looking at them with complicated eyes.
Mou Gang was envious, Zhan Lan was amazed, and Zhang Jie's eyes were filled with annoyance and embarrassment.
Because Zhang Jie's tiger skin has been pierced - he is a semi-leader, he can talk, but he really can't directly shoot the newcomer who changed the plot. And if he was really angry, he should just walk away. However, underneath this angry surface, there was appreciation for Jiang and Zheng.
It is certainly worthy of appreciation to face the challenge of destiny and overcome it with a mortal body. It's just that this slap in the face made him unable to get down.
Zheng Zha gave him a step down.
"Sorry, Brother Zhang Jie." Zheng Zha chuckled and scratched the back of his head. "We seem to be complicating things."
Zhang Jie, who had gained the stage, glared at him and Jiang Yu fiercely, and then let out a heavy breath.
"Forget it. You just can't help it. I'll teach you how to hold the gun later. Hold it so tightly like a student. I'm afraid I'll be hit by your misfire."
Zhang Jie and Zhang Jie, who spoke harshly, reached a reconciliation.
And just then...
"I have made a major discovery." Jiang Yu decided to share the information at a time when no one would monitor her anymore.
