Chapter 8 Zhang Jie: Am I the only one who didn’t get a reward?
[Participate in killing Spence and be rewarded with 1 C-level branch story and 2000 points]

The Lord God’s autopsy prompts were so pleasant to the ear, and the first pot of gold was successfully earned.

Fang Ge did not expect that he, Chu Xuan and Zheng Zha would have such a tacit understanding, but the results were not much different.

Spence is obviously not an expert at Werewolf. If he wants to ensure his own survival, the most important thing is not to eliminate the enemy, but to connect with his teammates.

If he knew how to use his fragmented memories to win over Alice, there would be a possibility of continuing to survive... Unfortunately, he didn't.

Now, the reincarnations have gained enough say.

By aiming the infrared light source, it is possible to determine the direction of the mercenaries.

Seizing the opportunity when the mercenaries' attention was diverted, the three of them teamed up to kill Spence, leaving the spy without even a scream.

Looking back, Spence had already played his final role with Chu Xuan—he didn't get any guns in return, but he did get the ownership of the box.

Chu Xuan will deal with those who are worthless as soon as possible.

Especially since he had just opened the door and boosted his [Trust].

Zheng Zha's revenge was purely personal. He felt that Spence had done something "strange" - because Fang Ge had pushed him hard, he then kicked him hard.

"Shh!"

Someone flipped the light switch, and gradually the room became brighter.

In particular, the windows on the wall reveal the scenery between the high-rise buildings in the city. There is plenty of sunshine outside, the sky is blue, and it is a peaceful and harmonious scene.

There were no zombies or monsters in the room.

Apart from the living people, there was only a fresh corpse.

Spence lay there quietly, and because of the night vision goggles, the mercenaries did not accidentally injure him.

This hateful spy ended up with the same fate as Mou Gang, falling to the ground and dying after being shot dozens of times.

He didn't even scream.

Fang Ge looked at his body expressionlessly, allowing Zhan Lan to hide behind him and use his body to block his view.

——NPC corpses are becoming more and more realistic... and the stench is also very specific.

Before the lights came on, Chu Xuan had already put the murder weapon - a bloody pen - back into his pocket.

The moment he made his move, he secretly stabbed Spence's throat along the wound inflicted by Mou Gang, ensuring that he could not shout or quibble.

"What happened? Are you sure he is the undercover?" Captain James frowned, seeking confirmation.

He felt a little tired and felt that the team was gradually getting out of his control.

At the moment, Fang Ge and Chu Xuan both pointed out Spence's abnormality at the same time. The behavioral logic of these two people was so consistent with their identities that they were almost ironclad [good identities].

But it does not rule out the possibility that the two of them were deceived. James clearly remembered that Zheng Zha and Spence also had physical contact.

Is it possible that Zheng Zha with thick eyebrows and big eyes is the one who is causing trouble?
"Maybe he got too close to the Red Queen and lost his composure."

Chu Xuan gently pushed up his glasses, revealing his clean hands. He then squatted down and turned over Spence's body, performing the autopsy on behalf of the mercenaries.

"He was shot three times in the head. He's dead. No wonder he didn't scream."

"Once we get on the elevator and go to the main control room... it will only take a few minutes. The darkness just now was his last chance."

"In short, all doubts will be resolved after watching the surveillance footage. I suggest continuing the operation."

James felt that something was fishy, ​​but since the person was dead, there was no point in dwelling on it. He tilted his head to look at Fang Ge and said,

"...Perhaps, you are right. Mr. Fang Ge, do you have any comments?"

For the mercenaries, the most important thing is that Fang Ge does not dwell on them [damaging company property] and then sue them severely.

Fang Ge felt refreshed at this moment and nodded immediately, "Chu Xuan is right. The most urgent thing is to continue the action."

Alice's mind was in a mess. Looking at Spence's body, some messy information flashed through her mind, and she felt a complex emotion.

——We have to divert her attention, otherwise she will mistakenly think that Spence is her bedmate due to incomplete memory and lose trust in us.

Thinking of this, Fang Ge turned his head to look at the girl in the red dress and asked with concern, "Has your memory not recovered yet, Alice?"

"Ah—somewhat recovered, but not very coherent," Alice answered uncertainly, holding her head.

Fang Ge pretended to reminisce and said, "I remember something about you... Do you still remember Lisa Addison? She was your best friend, and you always had endless things to talk about."

"Lisa?" Matt, who was handcuffed, shuddered as if he had been electrocuted. "Do you know Lisa?"

Apparently, his sister's name stimulated Matt and made him recover the relevant memories.

"Lisa..." Alice's head became a mess again.

In Resident Evil 1, Alice and Lisa both detest Umbrella's research into biochemical weapons and ultimately decide to expose their evil deeds. The two agree to leave with the evidence, and Lisa asks her brother Matt to be an informant.

That's why Matt came to the Hive.

"If it's really as we expected, Lisa should be in grave danger." Fang Ge revealed a sad expression at the right moment. "If she has become a zombie... please don't hesitate. All we can do is let her rest in peace."

Upon hearing the tragic news about his sister, Matt's voice rose several degrees. He asked loudly, "Why would Umbrella research a virus like this? Researching biological and chemical weapons? You're a researcher too, right? Don't you know this could kill a lot of people?"

"What are you arguing about?" Lane looked over fiercely, her expression like a ferocious cheetah.

But she did not scare Matt, the man who lost his sister, was like a wounded beast at this time.

"It's not that simple. If the T-virus hadn't been leaked, as research continued, perhaps we could have found a way to make humans evolve..."

Fang Ge spread his hands to signal Matt to calm down, and then added:

"I don't care about commercial matters, nor do I have any right to be held responsible for the biohazard caused by the virus leak... We are all victims."

He took the opportunity to plant a [seed], suggesting that if Matt and Alice wanted to fight against Umbrella, he would be the force they could strive for.

At the same time, the mercenaries successfully pried open the elevator door, but it was pitch black inside. After a quick check, they found that the elevator was completely damaged.

James made a prompt decision and turned around and shouted:

"Take the stairs! Don't waste any more time! Get to the bottom of the hive as soon as possible!"

This section of stairs is the classic death stairs in the original book, and it is actually very safe now.

In the original novel, the old lady and the fat boy died because of the stairs. One of them died a long time ago, and the other was squeezed out of position. It is hard to say whether they will appear again.

In addition, the mercenaries had to be wary of the threat of zombies and maintain their formation, so they couldn't increase their speed at all.

Even if Fang Ge only had 80 points of muscle strength, as long as he maintained a good breathing frequency, he could easily keep up.

It took about 20 minutes for everyone to finally reach the bottom floor of the hive. Following James's instructions, the mercenaries first checked the surrounding area. After confirming it was safe, they split up and explored the route to the central control room.

Fang Ge glanced at Zhang Jie, who was lighting a cigarette and puffing away, and knew that he must be the one behind it.

Otherwise, at least a mercenary would be left to guard them.

After calming down, Zhan Lan patted his chest and said with a smile, "Finally, I have the chance to formally thank you. They are really too strict."

"How are you going to thank me? With your body?" Fang Ge joked with a sly smile on his face.

"Oh... you are so outstanding. I, a poor writer, am not worthy of you."

Zhan Lan was quite good at joking. She put on a serious face and cleared her throat:

"Your kindness is so great, I cannot repay you. I wish to be your slave in my next life..."

"Isn't the saying 'work like a slave' meant for ugly people?"

Zheng Zha interrupted the conversation with a wicked grin, "Given Fang Ge's looks, you should have said something like, 'I'm willing to pledge my love to you.'"

As he spoke, he acted like a little girl, which made everyone burst into laughter, and even Zhang Jie who was standing next to him couldn't help laughing.

"Chu Xuan, Brother Jie, don't you want to come and chat?" After livening up the atmosphere, the outgoing Zheng Zha then invited Chu Xuan.

It seemed that he felt very relieved after getting rid of Spence.

Taking advantage of the mercenaries' absence, Chu Xuan threw the [murder weapon] into a corner where no one cared, and then slowly returned to the crowd.

A bucket of cold water poured down his face as he opened his mouth. "Even if the zombies were still imprisoned by Red Queen according to the original plot... I still don't recommend you relax like this."

Fang Ge waved his hand, making a silencing gesture, and then whispered, "Let's not talk about that for now... Did you get it?"

"What did you get?" Zhang Jie played with the Desert Eagle and pretended to be stupid.

"I got it." Zheng Zha nodded in acknowledgement. "One D-rank side story and 800 reward points. It said I participated in a kill..."

"I also have a D-level branch, but the reward points are only 500." Zhan Lan gently held his forehead and told about his income.

Chu Xuan also said briskly: "Participate in killing Spence and you will be rewarded with two D-level side stories and 1500 reward points."

These numbers were not unexpected to Fang Ge.

Besides the dirty tricks and the outcry, the most fundamental contribution to killing Spence was earning the trust of the mercenaries. In this regard, Fang Ge and Chu Xuan were truly exceptional.

If the mercenaries don't trust them, shouting loudly will be useless! Instead, it will arouse suspicion.

Fang Ge nodded slightly and said softly, "It seems that I have the most. I have one C-level side story, and 2000 reward points."

Then, the four of them focused their attention on Zhang Jie.
