Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 14 Fang Ge: Zhang Jie, stay away!
"How could it be?" Zhan Lan was extremely surprised, her voice tinged with tears.

They had already given up on shutting down Red Queen, so why would they plunge into darkness?
Why did the plot change so drastically?
"What happened! Kaplan?"

"It's like...it's like there's a power problem. The hive has lost power!"

"Fake!"

Darkness enveloped everyone with anxiety and fear.

The power outage in the hive means that the central computer defense system that has been isolating the zombies and creepers has failed, and the entire laboratory will become a world for these two!

"We don't have time to find backup power... Remember those freezers? In about fifteen minutes, they'll thaw and start running all over the hive."

Fang Ge's words increased the tension to the limit.

"While the biological weapons are still unable to function normally, we must leave the hive as quickly as possible!"

The Lord God is very strict in giving rewards.

James has been injected with the T virus and has become a precious test subject. No matter what happens next, he will not die, and Umbrella will try its best to capture him alive.

Therefore, a reward has been issued for saving him.

The same is not necessarily true for the rest of the mercenaries. Even if they escape the original killing, they may still die in the hive.

According to Fang Ge's past experience, once the return journey begins, the corresponding side quest will be triggered.

Before that, we have to [deal with] Zhang Jie.

As we all know, Zhang Jie is half reincarnation and half guide, and is a BUG in the main god space.

In order to fix the BUG, ​​the Lord God will greatly increase the difficulty of the Zhongzhou team, so as to force the team members to open the gene lock and force Zhang Jie to take the captain assessment.

So, here are two things to avoid.

First, Zhang Jie couldn't participate in the return journey, otherwise the difficulty of the return mission would be greatly increased. It's important to note that the Lord God favors newcomers, and missions involving only newcomers are far simpler than those with experienced personnel.

Secondly, no one can rely on their own abilities to open the gene lock in the first horror movie. Otherwise, the Lord God will force Zhang Jie to start the test.

The situation now is not quite the same as in the original Alien.

Although Chu Xuan in the original novel also unlocks the first lock, the first unlocking takes place at the final stage of the horror film. Zhang Jie, having lost his combat effectiveness, is left with the choice between Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan. Facing the Lord God, there is also an excuse for delaying.

If Chu Xuan unlocks it, Zhang Jie might not be able to save himself!
Zhang Jie is a strong candidate for the strongest psychic. If Fang Ge can't save Zhang Jie, he will have to start over!

"Crash..."

The sound of running water could be heard in the distance. It was not difficult for James to infer the situation outside. He shouted an order:

"Five minutes, everyone prepare for five minutes, take the Red Queen motherboard as evidence, and then we will break out of the hive as quickly as possible and use the shortest route!"

When they came to the main control room, they had to take a long detour because the road was flooded.

Now that the Beehive has begun to drain and Restaurant B is extremely dangerous, it is clear which route to take.

Fang Ge could feel that Zhan Lan beside him was trembling slightly in the darkness.

According to the original book, she was feeling excited... In fact, this woman was just being stubborn. Doesn't Fang Ge understand what kind of person Zhan Lan is?

He suddenly reached out and patted the girl with glasses on the shoulder, which scared Zhan Lan so much that she almost jumped up.

Even in the darkness, Fang Ge could still feel the resentful gaze.

Fang Ge grinned, feeling the same pleasure as when he pulled his female classmate's braids in elementary school.

Then he signaled the reincarnations to go to a corner not far away, avoid the mercenaries, and discuss the next course of action.

"I think this is a kind of... backlash."

Fang Ge started his analysis with outrageous remarks. "According to what Brother Jie said, neither the Lord God nor the characters will allow us to arbitrarily modify the plot. Right now, we've messed up the plot and earned a lot of reward points at the same time..."

"I'm afraid it's time to face the test given by the Lord God!"

"I told you not to change the plot! Don't change the plot! You really deserve to be punished..."

Zhang Jie scratched his head and complained, not hiding his anxiety at all.
"Don't you understand the principle of earning money when you have a life, and spending it when you don't? I've been through so many horror movies, and I've never seen anyone bring the side story back to the main divine space!"

This is a side of him that he has never revealed before, and it also shows that Zhang Jie is in a difficult situation now.

—Stop talking nonsense here! I really don’t believe you haven’t brought the side story back to the main divine dimension…

Zhang Jie's lying skills are really not that good. If he doesn't give people a hint, he will have a lot of flaws.

There's no other way. After all, he's a good man appointed by President Z. If he were like Fang Ge, talking nonsense without a single word of truth, and every word was improvisation, then Zheng Zha wouldn't have enough lives to die.

"Don't worry about these things for now!"

Zhan Lan clasped her hands together and tried to smooth things over in a gentle voice: "What we need to consider now is how to survive this horror movie! We can't change the plot later..."

"No, this information does have some special meaning."

Chu Xuan pushed his glasses and began his performance: "Look at your watches. I guess it's because James Shade was originally going to die in the laser channel, and the distance restriction has now been lifted."

"We can actually stay in the main control room and wait for the time to end."

"Stay in here? Isn't that seeking death?" Zheng Zha spread his hands and looked at the man with glasses as if he were an idiot.

——Oh my god, Zheng Zha thinks Chu Xuan is an idiot! "Of course not, we still have about 45 minutes to complete the mission. Although the main control room is in the center of the hive, there is only one way to get here, and we need to pass through five intersections."

Chu Xuan narrated a possibility:
"Ordinary zombies have no sight or sense of smell, only moderate hearing... or the ability to sense vibrations. So as long as they're quiet enough, staying here won't be a problem."

"After all... the mercenaries would make a lot of noise, which would definitely attract the attention of most zombies. We have antibodies on hand, so even if we're unlucky and encounter a few ordinary zombies, we can still silently neutralize them at the risk of being bitten."

"Furthermore, after the power outage, Umbrella's ability to monitor this area will be reduced to a minimum, which will actually make this area safer."

——You are such a great substitute.

Fang Ge blinked his eyes and found that it was much easier with Chu Xuan around.

Colonel Chu must have figured out that the veterans and newcomers would not be of the same difficulty level, and wanted to split up with Zhang Jie to act.

This coincides with Fang Ge's opinion.

"You mean we should stay here?"

Zhang Jie stroked his chin, obviously quite interested.

He even found reasons to convince others:

"The Lord God won't issue missions that guarantee death, so there's no need to worry about a target suddenly appearing for us to follow. Staying here is a good idea."

Fang Ge spoke at the right time and expressed his objection:

"No... Strictly speaking, only you and Zheng Zha are qualified to stay here."

"Brother Jie, you've always been law-abiding and haven't gained any extra benefits. The Lord God won't be too harsh on you... After all, as you said, the difficulty of this horror film is the lowest. It's probably so low that you won't die even if you do nothing."

"Zheng Zha has already faced two life-or-death crises and survived both. The Lord God wouldn't be jealous if he took some rewards... He deserves it."

"As for the three of us, who haven't experienced the test of life and death, I'm afraid that if we stay here, we won't be able to escape the Lord God's targeting, and will only bring trouble to you."

Afterwards, Fang Ge used his trump card against Zhang Jie - retreat to advance.

He said sincerely:

"Brother Jie, the current situation is that we are a burden to you, and you and I are just casual acquaintances. As a senior, you don't owe us anything."

"If you don't want to face those dozens of crawlers... or even more terrifying threats, then stay here."

"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, besides a Desert Eagle, I don't see you having any other abilities."

Zheng Zha smirked and agreed, "If we can really return alive with the bonus points, I'll show you what a superman is!"

Zheng Zha was more or less a small supervisor, and with just a few words he drew a clear line between himself and Zhang Jie and rejoined Fang Ge and the others.

He was unwilling to wait here. This style of sitting and waiting for death was not suitable for him.

"You fucking new recruit, you're looking down on me!" Zhang Jie started cursing when he heard that, but his eyes gradually wavered.

He knew better than anyone that only if he stayed here would these newcomers have a better chance of survival.

And... being disobedient is one thing, but the character displayed by these newcomers is quite good.

Fang Ge once sacrificed himself to help Zhan Lan escape the death staircase...

Even when he was wronged, Zheng Zha still had the kindness to help James...

Apart from his rash plan, Chu Xuan was actually quite conscientious in his duties... and most officers were good people, as Zhang Jie knew best.

Zhan Lan's personality is quite likable. She looks like a poor female writer, so she probably can't be that bad... After all, with her talent and beauty, it wouldn't be difficult for her to make some money as long as she is willing to spend the money.

Maybe they each have their own plans in mind, maybe their friendliness is only on the surface and not genuine.

But so what? Who in this world doesn't have selfish motives? Even if they do, have they done anything bad?

Duke Zhou feared the spread of rumors, while Wang Mang was respectful and modest before he usurped the throne. If he had died at that time, who would have known the truth about his life?

Zhang Jie will not assume the worst of newcomers because he himself wants to be a good person.

Chu Xuan didn't say anything else. He wasn't good at playing the emotional card, so he gave Fang Ge a look asking for help.

For some reason, Fang Ge felt that this was a bit ambiguous... Chu Xuan's attitude towards him had undergone some subtle changes at some point.

However, this is not important. Once he returns to the main god space, Chu Xuan will be his employee.

Then Fang Ge cooperated and delivered the winning shot:

"I don't want what happened to the uncle and aunt to happen again. Their tragic deaths are still fresh in my mind!"

"Of course I have the confidence to win everything here, but if another good person gets killed..."

"I will die with a clear conscience!"

[Another good person was implicated and died]

No one could understand the devastating effect this sentence had on Zhang Jie.

He decided to stay, and besides, he stayed for his own sake.

Scarface sneered immediately:
"Well, if you want to take risks, then take them. If you want to die, then die. I won't accompany you!"
