"Ding! 📣"
"Obtain 3 doses of T-virus and T-virus vaccine, complete D-level side story plot, and earn 900 reward points."
"900 points, that means each one is only 150 points? Hmph, it's decent, anyway, the value of this thing isn't in the reward points."
After using the storage item to collect the metallic box containing the T-virus stock and the vaccine, a prompt from the Deity echoed in Wu Xian's ears. He didn't explain anything to Zheng Za and others, just saying "Keep up," and then he hurriedly caught up with the ahead mercenary team, taking two steps for every three.
……
"I want to know who you are? And what exactly has happened here?"
As time passed, the main character Alice in the front team finally began her plot, asking mercenary captain Matthew Edison about a series of questions related to Umbrella Corporation and the Hive.
Here's a fun fact: if we follow the actual translation of Resident Evil movies, this black captain of the mercenary team shouldn't be named Matthew Edison, but rather James Shade.
The reason for this situation is that when Z wrote this book, they were watching a pirated movie.
After all, this is a work from 2007, when pirated movies and various immoral subtitle groups were widespread. There were all sorts of absurd translations, let alone the name of a supporting character, wrong movie names were common.
For instance, prior to his time travel, Wu Xian had seen a "Virginity Honor" titled American movie on a pirated website. At that moment, he felt quite baffled and found out it was actually "Moulin Rouge" after clicking inside.
For example, "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was translated into something like "Smith vs. Smith Wife."
And "Lolita" became something like "A Tree of Peach Blossoms Pressing down a Rose."
"The Shawshank Redemption" was translated into "Exciting 1995."
In summary, it's just f*cking absurd!
On the other hand, the plot of Resident Evil continues, and Alice's conversation with the black captain is almost identical to the scenes in the movie. The faces of those following behind Zhong Zhou's team are strange, as if they can't adapt to the feeling of a movie plot happening right in front of them.
It wasn't until Alice suddenly extended her finger towards them, inquiring about their identity and origin, that they were finally shocked into color.
It's clear that these people still didn't take Wu Xian's words to heart, or harbored a sense of luck, thinking that they were people walking on the fringes of reality. As if as long as they avoid those terrifying monsters next, there won't be any danger.
However, the reality dealt a swift and harsh slap to their faces, swelling their cheeks. Including the protagonist Zheng Za, all the new characters turned deathly pale in an instant, as if they were already imagining themselves being gnawed by zombies.
Wu Xian shook his head, but there wasn't much mocking in his heart.
To be honest, this is the normal reaction people should have. If he hadn't been a time traveler, when he first entered "A Nightmare on Elm Street," he wouldn't have done much better than these few.
Soon, after Matthew introduced the members of the Zhongzhou team based on the information provided by the Deity, a voice came from the door at the top of the platform. The long-haired female mercenary reported, "Sir, we've managed to open the door; it's now safe to enter."
Matthew nodded to the team members, then turned his gaze towards the others except Wu Xian in the Zhongzhou team, and couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed that he was quite dissatisfied with the burden of taking along several people, but there was little he could do. Despite his dissatisfaction, he had to endure it since the client gave him a lot of money. He just gave a quick instruction to Wu Xian, the security chief, and turned around to lead the mercenaries towards the gate.
There's no need to elaborate on the subsequent events, which were nothing more than marveling at the far-ahead-of-its-time technology of the Umbrella Corporation. After much effort, the mercenaries managed to open the door of the power-outage elevator, only to find that the cable had snapped and landed at the bottom floor, so they had to descend on foot.
"Motherf*ck!"
Hearing the report from his subordinates, Matthew swore under his breath and then loudly called out, "We're taking the stairs! Get to the bottom floor in 10 minutes, everyone follow!"
Here comes the scene of the deadly stairs!
In the original novel of Infinite Terror, there was a requirement that the members of Zhongzhou team couldn't leave Matthew Edison's 100-meter radius, so two people were sacrificed in this section by the Deity's rules. At the same time, this also allowed Zheng Zha and other members of Zhongzhou team to truly experience the cruelty and danger of the Deity's space for the first time.
"Remember, run with all your might later, and under no circumstances can you get too far from the team. Otherwise…the consequences are your own responsibility."
Wu Xian emphasized the reminder again, his gaze sweeping over the chubby boy and the middle-aged woman, and then he continued forward, following the mercenaries into the stairwell.
The movie's visual and real-life experiences are ultimately different. When they saw the spiral staircase below, dark and deep, seemingly endless, the new members of Zhongzhou team's faces all changed, even Zheng Zha, the strongest member of the future reincarnation team, was subconsciously twitching at the corners of his mouth.
"Let's go!"
Under his command, Matthew led his mercenary team to run at the front.
The mercenaries' qualifications go without saying, and as the first female lead of biohazard, Alice easily kept up with these well-trained mercenaries. It was the other two male characters who looked quite awkward, struggling just to keep up without falling behind.
As for the Zhongzhou team, Wu Xian always ran at the front of the team, even if he was deliberately holding back. The quality he showed was absolutely no less than that of the mercenaries.
Then came Yan Lan, the only pretty girl and "intellectual force" among the new recruits, who, like in the original text, was very smart and clung to Wu Xian's tail. Wu Xian also intended to cultivate this potential spiritual control player, so he naturally took her along.
As for the protagonist Zheng Zha, even though his private life was a bit messy and he even tried some prohibited substances, he had been exercising quite a bit in order to maintain his bedroom performance. At this moment, with full effort, he could barely keep up with Wu Xian.
Behind them were the middle-aged man named Mou Gang and the legendary thousand-faced demon master Li Xiao Yi. Their gasping for breath showed that they had reached their limit.
At the very end, it was still the two people named Chubby and the middle-aged woman who died in this section, according to the original text. If nothing miraculous happened, they would soon be eliminated by the Deity for being over one hundred meters away from Matthew Edison.
"BANG!"
Sure enough, about ten seconds later, a deep sound echoed in the ears.
Zhongzhou team's members were slightly stunned, and even Zheng Zha turned his head and saw the middle-aged woman who was at the very back. She quickly inflated her bulky body and exploded into a pool of blood, splashing all over Chubby's body. The scene was incredibly grotesque.
This is... the Deity's erasure?
Zheng Zha was greatly shaken, and his fear of the unknown surged instantly, causing him to hasten his steps abruptly.
Wu Xian noticed this detail and his lips curved slightly. He was just thinking when the second explosion would occur when he heard a piercing shriek echoing through the stairs.
