"Um... No, not yet... I actually don't know."
Zheng Za's expression was extremely rigid. Due to the restrictions of the Main God, he was unable to mention the existence of laser tunnels and zombies. At this moment, upon hearing Matthew's question, he became somewhat incoherent for a moment.
"Hehe, I don't know."
Matthew looked at him with deep meaning, sneered coldly: "Good. Since you can't say anything, then... You and you, follow us into the channel together."
He said, pointing at Zheng Za and, just as in the original story, the unlucky truck driver Mu Gang who was selected by misfortune.
"No! I don't want to! I don't want to go in!"
Both men had pale faces, Mu Gang was even more distraught, holding his head and shouting wildly. He turned to run out of the room.
Upon seeing his actions, Matthew's eyes flashed with a fierce light. Without him having to command, the other mercenaries quickly raised their guns and aimed at Mu Gang without hesitation, pulling the trigger.
Clang Clang Clang Clang Clang————
The next second, the sounds of metal and iron clashing resounded one after another. Those like Zheng Za, who had been instinctively trying to cower and duck in fear, were now completely stupefied, their hands still raised but not yet lowered, making a comical and absurd sight.
Similarly, the mercenaries led by Matthew were not much better. Each and every one of them had their eyes wide open, as if they had seen something incredible.
"Captain Matthew, it's a bit much to mess with my people like this."
A dark iron staff, about two meters long, spun in the air into a staff flower. Wu Xian slung it over his back and smiled slightly at Matthew and the others. It was a gentle smile, yet it made the mercenaries feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Behind Wu Xian, Mu Gang sat dazed on the ground, his hands patting his body, searching for any wounds. Only after finding none did he breathe a sigh of relief and gasp for air, his whole body covered in sweat as if he had just been rescued from the water.
"You... How did you just do that?!"
Matthew tightened his grip on the assault rifle, swallowed, and asked in a dry voice.
Just now, the mercenaries fired on the fleeing Mu Gang, intending to turn him into a pile of pixels as a way to intimidate everyone from Zhong Zhou Team with a killing chicken.
However, at this moment, Wu Xian suddenly blocked in front of Mu Gang and took out a black iron rod from an unknown place.
Then, with just a few casual swings, he scattered golden sparks in the air, and remarkably, he deflected all the bullets they had shot at him.
Using a stick to deflect bullets? This is a plot out of a magical movie!
Don't tell me this is Chinese Kung Fu. Do I seem like someone who hasn't seen Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee? It's too unbelievable!
"If I say this is Chinese Kung Fu, do you believe me?"
As Wu Xian said this, seeing the gloomy faces of Matthew and the others, he shrugged: "Okay, just joking. In fact, I am an evolutionist of the company's latest research and development. What I just did with bullets is also one of my abilities. You can understand it as super sensory and super speed, combined with a sufficiently sturdy weapon, stopping bullets is actually not difficult at all."
"Evolutionist..."
Upon hearing Wu Xian's explanation, Matthew and the others were not particularly impressed, but Alice, the female protagonist, was touched and couldn't help but take a new look at Wu Xian, as if she had developed a strong curiosity about him.
"What evidence do you have to prove that? And, did you also regain your memory? What exactly is there in that passage?"
Matthew's eyes narrowed, his finger still on the trigger, the threat evident.
"I'm sorry, it's company confidential; I can't say."
"Tell me!!"
Matthew roared angrily.
"Ah... Why bother with this?"
Wu Xian sighed, and the next second, he vanished into thin air.
Matthew's pupils constricted, his finger pressed down fiercely, but the gunshot had just sounded when a searing pain shot through his abdomen and he flew backward like a rocket.
During this process, all he saw was a dark shadow darting rapidly before his eyes.
In a blink of an eye, his teammates were also quickly catching up. Either they were prone, looking up in shock, or they were sent flying out like sandbags.
Everyone except for Kappel, the computer technician, lay on the ground, groaning in pain and clearly losing their fighting ability within a short period of time.
Bam!!
Matthew slammed into the metal wall with a dull thud, his head felt a bit dizzy. In the next second, he felt a cold sensation on his throat.
Lifting his eyes, he saw the security captain named Wu Xian still smiling at him. The smile on his face was far from reaching his eyes, making him feel chilled.
"Did you see that? That's the evidence. If I wanted to kill you, I could do it at any time. There's no need to lie to you, understand?"
"I see, I understand!"
Matthew said in a lowered voice, not daring to let Wu Xian see the hatred and fear in his eyes.
"Let the captain go!"
It all happened so fast that it was only after all of his teammates had fallen that Kappel, sitting at the computers, finally reacted and tried to pull out his sidearm from his holster to shoot.
Just then, Mu Gang, who had been scared silly, roared and lunged at Kappel, pinning him down on the ground and making it impossible for him to move.
As a truck driver, he occasionally played the part of a laborer, and did have some strength. Additionally, Kappel was more of a civilian employee, even though he had been trained, his physical condition was not much better than Mu Gang's. For a while, he really couldn't break free.
Seeing this scene, the others from Zhong Zhou Team also started to snap out of their trance. Led by Zheng Zha, they picked up their guns on the ground and aimed at the mercenaries, finally showing some sense of teamwork.
"Ouch! That's not bad..."
Wu Xian raised an eyebrow, then suddenly looked up and shouted towards the ceiling, "Red Queen, come out and talk to me. I have a deal to discuss with you."
The air fell silent for a moment, and no one answered Wu Xian's words.
"So cold... If that's the case, then the bomb I installed in the hive will be detonated."
The corners of Wu Xian's mouth lifted slightly, and he continued, "Little sister Red Queen, you wouldn't want the things hidden here to be leaked out, would you?"
Ziz ziz ziz————
Sizzling...
A half-illusionary red girl appeared in mid-air.
"Who are you?"
A crisp but emotionless voice echoed, and with everyone's startled eyes, the half-illusionary red girl, looking curiously at Wu Xian, asked:
"Although there is information about you in my database, as your position, you shouldn't know so much. Who are you exactly?"
"Who knows? Maybe FBI or something like that."
Wu Xian smiled enigmatically, then his face cooled down. He commanded Red Queen, "No need for small talk. If you don't want the entire hive to be blown up, do as I say. If I'm in a good mood after it's all over, perhaps I'll answer your questions."
"I don't believe your words. I have been monitoring your journey all along. You couldn't have had the opportunity to install a bomb..."
Red Queen shook her head, but before she could finish speaking, the half-illusionary face suddenly changed.
