Chapter 46: Another Red Queen
"Finished?" Ethan asked Kaplan carefully again: "I'm sure I've obtained control?"
"I'm sure." Kaplan nodded: "And isn't Red Queen closed?"
Since the Red Queen was shut down and lost her artificial intelligence as an opponent, and only some mechanical defense programs were left, Kaplan thought that this thing would not be difficult for him at all, and did not understand why Ethan emphasized repeatedly?
Of course he didn't know that there should be a Red Queen host at the place where the elevator was connected. Ethan was worried about the body that was most likely the Red Queen, so what was going on when he went down?
Fortunately, Kaplan did gain control. After everyone gathered near the operating table, Kaplan typed the last command on the computer, and then the console vibrated and began to descend to the bottom.
The mercenaries didn't even care about the zombies that were falling from the higher and higher gates, and looked at Ethan in surprise.
At this time, Alice, who had gradually recovered some of her memories, no longer seemed harmless as before, and suddenly became more offensive.
"Who are you?"
This is a question in everyone's mind. Why did Ethan know so much about the hive? Who is he? Judging from his behavior, he seemed to be destroying Umbrella's plan, so he was sent by Umbrella's competitors? Or was he an agent affiliated with an official organization?
But... do agents dress up like medieval knights?
This is what everyone present cannot understand the most. If Ethan and Arthur were dressed more normally, even if Arthur looked like a teenager, he could still be regarded as a young agent specially trained, but what the hell was that armor... that long sword?
"Me?" Ethan pulled out a piece of cloth and rubbed the sword. He was wondering if the sword had to be disinfected properly? Otherwise, if he brought it back like this, would the T virus spread to the sea of calm?
When he heard Alice's question, his reaction was slower and he casually responded to what he had said to Jill before: "It should be the savior of this world."
Everyone was speechless about Ethan's answer, but Alice did not laugh at him, but continued to ask.
"Do you think this virus will harm the whole world?"
At this time Ethan completely came to his senses. He remembered that there was a tube of ultimate antidote at the bottom. As soon as it spreads out, it would slowly spread to the whole world as the air spreads, and then all the T viruses and its derivative variants in this world were wiped out. He must have to use that thing, so there seemed to be no need to worry.
"harm?"
He finally had the heart to answer Alice's question. The speed of the elevator was really slow enough. As the decline became deeper and deeper, no more zombies were falling down, and everyone could breathe a sigh of relief.
The mercenaries seized the time to refille the empty magazines, checked their equipment, and checked for any wounds on their bodies.
At the same time, I was also paying attention to the conversation between Ethan and Alice.
"No, this is not just a danger." Ethan casually told what was going to happen in a calm tone.
After hearing the spread of biochemical viruses, not only were most humans infected and became zombies, but even plants were not spared. They all withered and died. Almost all of the earth turned into a desert, and everyone was scared and at a loss.
"The end of the world... shouldn't be that?"
"If we completely seal the hive, maybe we will avoid the end of the world?"
After seeing the zombies with their own eyes, they believed in Ethan's words very much, and almost no one thought that Ethan's description of the future was too bizarre and exaggerated.
Jill was no longer talking at this time. She was following Ethan with a mentality of "seeing what tricks you can do". Unexpectedly, she witnessed such a big thing. Now her mind is a little confused. She didn't know what kind of reaction she should make for for a moment.
Only Alice was still calm and thinking about how to avoid that terrible doomsday future.
Ethan told them very directly: "It's all in Umbrella's plan, so you think there's nothing wrong with the hive closed. It's just a wishful thinking."
"The Hive Research Institute is from Umbrella. Do you think they can't open their research base? What's more, the Hive is not completely isolated from the outside world. There are many facilities such as ventilation ducts. Can you ensure that the virus has not leaked from these places?"
In fact, there is a separate shot in the Resident Evil film, where the ventilation duct has been damaged, implying that a mouse can enter and exit the honeycomb through the damaged duct, and the mouse can completely carry the virus to the outside world.
Therefore, even if Umbrella does nothing, the outbreak of the virus is difficult to avoid, just like the established destiny of this world.
This is also the fundamental reason why Ethan must come here: if you don’t find the “anti-drug”, the biochemical viruses in this world are almost unsolvable.
Perhaps if Ethan stays in this world for a few years, he can solve this problem with his mysterious knowledge and ability. But let alone whether he can stay in this world for so long. Even if he can stay for a few years and develop a solution, how many people will be left on the earth in a few years?
This is from a broad perspective, and from a private perspective, Ethan also needs this potion to understand the principles and avoid accidentally playing with it to death.
He wants to use the T virus to increase his mental strength, but the premise is not to cheat himself to death.
Mages often put themselves in danger to perform some kind of experiment, so every mage has a wealth of means of saving lives.
If Ethan was an orthodox mage, he would have prepared many ways to save his life for himself, so he would have started such a dangerous experiment. Unfortunately, his path to mage is different from others, so more detailed and comprehensive prevention work is needed.
Then he roughly told Umbrella's plan to cleanse humans, and everyone present felt that his worldview was impacted.
They were already shocked by a business giant like Umbrella who secretly researched biochemical viruses. But this is still within an understandable range, after all, this drug is indeed powerful.
Even if it is impossible to abandon such a powerful virus, even if they risk huge risks to open the hive again, they don’t understand. As for businessmen, what can they calculate for business opportunities?
But what the hell is human cleaning?
"What did Umbrella think she is? God?"
As one of the humans to be cleansed, no one present is not angry. This situation where others decide life and death at will but don’t even choose.
When Ethan said that Umbrella's management was hiding in the frozen sleeping chamber below, quietly waiting for this doomsday to pass, and then come out to rebuild the earth as a leader of humanity, almost everyone began to be ready to give the group of high-ranking guys a good look.
"I'm going to pull them out of the can, and then beat them up until they wake up."
After a spoiler addiction, Ethan had no sense of spoiling dogs. He now had a headache about how to find the antidote. That thing seemed to be kept by that doctor in the final boss in this movie world.
"And, I don't know if this guy is sleeping?" He only watched the final chapter of the movie version at the beginning. In addition, the movie was not particularly good, and he had a lot of complaints. He did not leave a deep impression at all. Now he only thought of some general content in a vague way.
This is because his mental power has improved, which has stabilized his memory in his previous life. Otherwise, after so many years, he might not even remember the content, so he can only think of a little outline.
As we were recalling it hard, the elevator finally descended to the bottom, and everyone was moving forward carefully. What surprised everyone was that there was no security equipment or personnel, and what caught their eye was rows of iron cans.
"These are those guys who are arrogant and think they can decide whether humans in the world are life and death?"
Ethan glanced around and nodded: "It should be that, it's up to you to decide how to deal with these guys." He continued to move forward, and he remembered that this was the place where the final battle of the movie was.
There is the most central console of the entire hive, and the real body of the red man is also hidden in this body. Through this console, the real boss of the world can be awakened...
"What's that guy's name?"
Without any impression, Ethan stood in front of the huge screen and knocked on the console: "If you don't want me to blow this place into ruins, you'd better come out by yourself!"
Seeing that there was no response, Ethan continued to speak on his own: "I think you must know what happened above. If you don't want to end up like your subroutine, do what I said."
This time, after becoming a young man, he no longer pretended to be dead, and projected the image of a little girl in front of Ethan.
Seeing the sudden appearance of Red Queen, the mercenaries almost instinctively raised the weapon in their hands, and then realized that it was just a projection.
"Why hasn't this thing been turned off yet?"
Kaplan also looked at the red back motherboard he was holding. Did his partner pull out the wrong one? He took down the memory stick as the motherboard?
Ethan looked at the little girl who was slightly different from the red queen above: "So, if you can control all the facilities of this base, then you can also call Alice out 'self'?"
