Chapter 6 It wasn't me who ruined you, it was this chaotic world that ruined you.
"Forget about Spencer and all that. Rest here for a bit, and I'll get you out of here alive later."
Liu Qianhuang, who had just killed someone, spoke in a calm tone, as if he had just eaten a steamed bun.
"You... what exactly are you?" James swallowed hard. Whether it was the telekinetic ability to fly, or the speed and power that had just beheaded Spencer in an instant, it was all completely beyond his comprehension.
"You child, how can you be so forgetful?" Liu Qianhuang shook his head, deactivating his internal energy defenses. "I told you, I'm a lucky one who successfully evolved. Did you see that just now? Telekinesis! Obtained by injecting the T-virus! Umbrella Corporation researched for so many years, and only produced one finished product like me, and those damn board members actually wanted to renege on their promise and kill me. Tell me, is that something a human being would do?"
He became increasingly agitated as he spoke, his voice brimming with emotion, his eyes slightly reddening as if he had truly suffered a tremendous injustice: "I've shed blood for the company, I've rendered meritorious service to the company! And what did they do? They sent you to the Hive, claiming it was to carry out a mission, but in reality, you're just here to collect my corpse! No, not even that. After the zombies have devoured me clean, you'll probably be going down to join me too!"
"So we're really here to die?"
"A nameless mercenary in the movie said in disbelief."
"Otherwise what?" Liu Qianhuang landed on the ground, walked up to her, and patted her shoulder earnestly. "Look at your setup. A few mercenaries, a few guns, and you come to the Hive? What is the Hive? Umbrella's top-secret research institute! Let me be blunt, the things locked up down there are seven 'mukbang' (trash candies). At most, you'll be eaten like seven 'mukbang'. The company can't even afford to send a proper USS team, so they just use you bunch of contract workers, fifty-dollar good brothers, to fill the hole. Isn't that just blatantly using you as disposable chopsticks? No, it's even worse than disposable chopsticks; at least disposable chopsticks aren't eaten after use."
These words struck a nerve with everyone.
James slowly lowered his gun, his face dark and gloomy. Wait, no, his face was always dark, so it's alright.
Liu Qianhuang observed the captain in front of him and thought to himself.
"You say you can save our lives," James said in a deep voice, "Why should we believe you?"
"Good question!" Liu Qianhuang snapped his fingers. "Just because I know each of your names, where Spence stole the virus and hid it, how the Red Queen will deal with us, and most importantly..."
He said passionately, "I know you will be promoted in the new Umbrella Corporation in the future, and you will be heroes in America. In short, it's definitely better than being cannon fodder to die now."
"Please feel free to tell us what you need, Mr. Shi Ming."
Before he finished speaking, James's dark and gloomy face instantly relaxed, revealing a set of white teeth that shone brightly in the dimly lit corridor.
"Changing your expression without taking a bean is fine, bro."
Liu Qianhuang silently complained to himself.
Forget about Spencer, we're going to make it big.
James excitedly told his teammates.
"Sir, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you earlier. Look at my eyes, you think I'm a mercenary?"
As he spoke, he fastened the holster, as if the man who had just pointed a gun at Liu Qianhuang had nothing to do with him. "You see, the moment I heard you open your mouth, I knew you were no ordinary person. Your demeanor, your speech, your decisiveness that could easily sever someone's head—you have the air of a true leader!"
"You speak well! You've really hit the nail on the head! I'm so happy to hear you say that, James! We should have a good drink together! Once we get out of here, I'll definitely drink with you for fifteen days straight."
Liu Qianhuang said with satisfaction.
"Boss, actually my surname is Xue De."
James answered weakly.
Liu Qianhuang patted him on the shoulder, "Do you know? During the Three Kingdoms period, only those who were pragmatic like you were qualified to be a Grand General. By the way, do you know why Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao at the Battle of Guandu?"
"Is it because he's not as good at managing people as you are?"
James asked uncertainly.
"No, it's because Cao Cao had 70,000 Ultramen soldiers, which was enough to suppress Yuan Shao's 700,000-strong army. If Liu Bei hadn't led 5,000 Ultramen to cover Yuan Shao's retreat, Yuan Shao would have been swept away."
Liu Qianhuang patted James on the shoulder and said.
"What the leader said is so insightful, we should drink a big toast to him."
Although James didn't know what the other person was talking about, since the leader had said so, there must be a reason for it.
Wait, why am I using "Master" in my speech?
Unlike James, Zhang Jie was no longer calm. James didn't know anything about the Three Kingdoms, but Zhang Jie was an expert.
Why was Cao Cao able to defeat Yuan Shu?
It was the burning of Wuchao that turned the tide of the battle.
Without Xu You's advice, everything would have been in vain.
It's not impossible that it's simply because the opposing Yuan Shao is too weak.
Holy crap, what does it mean that Cao Cao had 70,000 elite troops, enough to wipe out an enemy army of 700,000?
"If Alice awakens earlier, there will probably be a side story."
After convincing James, Liu Qianhuang pondered.
Because of Spence's murder, Alice was looking at him with a complicated expression.
"Zhao Yingkong, there's a box in the carriage, the one Spencer stole the virus for me. Could you get it for me?" After instructing Zhao Yingkong, Liu Qianhuang decided to tell a short story to ease the tension between the two. "Do you know why there are historical records of Jesus flying to heaven?"
"Is it because Jesus, like you, boss, is someone who is superior to ordinary people?"
James, eager to improve, answered quickly.
Why?
Alice's words were not pleasant because of Liu Qianhuang's killing of Spencer.
"Is that so? I'm looking for the answer too."
Liu Qianhuang waved his hand and said frankly.
Alice was clearly not expecting this answer.
"you do not know?"
"I don't know," Liu Qianhuang said matter-of-factly. "I'm not Jesus' father, how would I know why he could fly?"
"Alas, it wasn't me who ruined Spencer, it was this chaotic world that ruined him."
As Zhao Yingkong approached with her suitcase, Liu Qianhuang sighed and said.
Alice was completely dumbfounded. Where did this lunatic come from? Where is the chaotic world? There's no war here. Before you came, Spence had plenty to eat and drink, and a big house where he didn't have to pay property taxes. Then you came and shot him dead and blamed it on a non-existent chaotic world. Can't you have any shame?
However, Alice underestimated the beast in the other party. Before she could even react to the previous sentence, she heard Liu Qianhuang speak passionately.
"Once I infiltrate Umbrella Corporation, I will avenge Spencer."
"Then why don't you just slit your own throat? That way you can avenge Spencer immediately."
Alice responded bluntly.
"How can you talk to your boss like that?"
Seeing that the other party dared to disrespect Shi Ming, James pointed his gun at Alice and threatened her.
"good."
Looking at James's unwavering loyalty, Liu Qianhuang praised him. He then bowed and instructed, "Alice has suffered such a terrible ordeal; she is heartbroken. You should step down now."
Then, he cupped his hands in greeting and said to Alice, "I am both saddened by your passing and pleased with your happiness."
"Can I come to your house tomorrow to offer my congratulations?"
Alice thought to herself, she already knew the other party was not simple, but she did not expect him to be so heavyweight.
"You're sure to ask me, 'Spence has just passed away, what joy do I have?' But Alice, you know perfectly well, why torture me?"
No, why can she understand each individual word the other person says, but when they're put together, she doesn't recognize them at all? How can these words be connected to form a sentence?
"Spence released the virus, killing almost everyone here. He deserved to die anyway. You've long wanted to kill Spence and take his T-virus as a token of your loyalty. Today, I killed Spence, fulfilling your dream without you having any blood on your hands. Alice, don't you feel any joy?"
Upon hearing this, Alice was completely stunned. Provoked by the other person, her memories began to flood back like a tide.
But this is not over yet.
Liu Qianhuang suddenly turned around and kicked the Spencer head on the ground. The head rolled half a circle on the ground and stopped at Alice's feet. Alice subconsciously took a step back, a look of disgust flashing across her face, but Liu Qianhuang's voice was already pressing down on her.
He crouched down, grabbed Spencer by the hair, and brought his lifeless face close to Alice's eyes. "Look at this face. You know what he did. You just have amnesia, not dementia."
"Senior, here you go."
Zhao Yingkong handed the box containing the T virus to Liu Qianhuang, then retreated behind him expressionlessly.
Liu Qianhuang put down the severed head in his hand, then took out a vial of T-virus from the box and injected it into Alice's body.
Alice didn't even feel any pain the moment the needle pierced her skin.
She hadn't yet recovered from the look of death on Spencer's unseeing face. Fragments of memories were colliding wildly in her mind: the white light of the laboratory, the hum of the freezer, Spencer's figure repeatedly appearing on the monitor, and the various test tubes he had taken from the freezer.
Everything connected. She finally understood why she had woken up in the shower and why the man who called himself Shi Ming had cut off Spencer's head in front of her.
"Alice," Liu Qianhuang said, standing up after taking another test tube from the box, his tone suddenly softening, "do you know how much this thing is worth?"
Alice did not respond.
"Hundreds of billions of dollars," he continued, completely ignoring Alice, who was still convulsing on the ground. "The Umbrella Corporation spent so much money and so many people died just to create this thing. And what happened? They created it, but they don't know how to use it."
He held the test tube up to his face, and the green liquid swayed slightly inside the glass tube.
Do you know why?
No matter how Liu Qianhuang asked her questions, Alice remained silent, only twitching uncontrollably.
"Because they don't dare." Liu Qianhuang's tone turned cold. "They only dare to inject the T-virus into ordinary people, and the result is that one person turns into a zombie, two people turn into a pair of zombies. After so many years, there are only two successful cases."
He held up one finger: "The first one is me."
Then he extended his second finger and pointed at Alice: "The second one is you."
Prematurely stimulating Alice's awakening will reward you with a D-level side quest and 1,500 points.
As the divine voice rang in his ears, Liu Qianhuang's plan to awaken Alice ahead of schedule was a success.
