Chapter 126: Virus

After everything was settled, everyone began to stand guard around the Red Queen’s main computer to prevent any unexpected situations.

“Alright, if I press this button this time, she won’t be able to close it again. Just wait to be burned!”

If he wanted to ask the Red Queen, he naturally had to have a bargaining chip.

So Chad had made some preparations. If the Red Queen was out of control, they could choose to destroy her.

“Buzz!”

As the system restarted, a red light flashed in front of everyone.

The Red Queen’s figure flashed and disappeared, startling everyone.

“Starting the power might burn the circuit board,” Chad explained.

“Ah! So you’re here. The things I’m collecting are beyond my control.”

Although the Red Queen’s projection did not succeed, her voice came through the loudspeaker.

Clearly, she had been successfully activated.

The Red Queen seemed to still have emotions. As soon as she appeared, she began to mock him.

‘I told you long ago not to close her. Now, you’re happy!’

“Give me that control button now. I want to burn your ass.”

Seeing a computer mocking them, Rayne was the first to lose his temper. He wanted to snatch the control button and burn the gloating computer.

The others hurried to hold Rayne back.

“Didn’t I warn you?”

The Red Queen expressed her innocence. She had warned them from the beginning but they were disobedient and insisted on shutting her down. Now that the situation had spiraled out of control, it was not her fault!

“What is this place for?” Rayne was the first to ask.

“Research and development of the virus.” said the Red Queen, who did not hide anything.

“What is the T-Virus!?”

Matt’s purpose here was to find evidence of the umbrella company’s illegal research of the virus. He wanted to understand what the T-Virus was.

Why did it turn those people into walking corpses?

“The T-Virus is a huge breakthrough in pharmaceutical science. It can also become an expensive military weapon.” the Red Queen explained.

The T-Virus was first studied to treat terminal illnesses and benefit humans.

However, the sharper the sword, the more two-sided it was.

It could be used to save people or kill people.

Some people used it to treat illnesses, while others used it to kill.

“Then what has this got to do with those things outside?”

Chad looked puzzled. Didn’t they say that this virus was used to treat diseases? Why did it create a bunch of human-eating monsters?

“Even if humans are dead, their bodies are still alive. Their hair and nails are growing, and their cells are metabolizing.”

“And the brain still retains a small amount of electrical charge until a few months later.”

“The T-Virus can produce huge vibrating waves to maintain cell growth and track the electrical pulse energy.”

“In other words, it can resurrect the dead,” continued the Red Queen.

“You call that resurrection?”

When Rayne heard the Red Queen’s explanation, he really wanted to kick the computer.

This thing created a group of human-eating monsters. It did not look like a revival.

“Not completely. They only have the simplest mobility and might have some memories. In theory, they don’t have any intelligence.”

“They are driven by the most basic nerve impulses and fundamental needs.”

“What do you mean?” Chad asked doubtfully.

“Eating.”

“Why did you kill everyone below?” Matt asked.

Although Spence was the one who had released the virus, he did not understand why the Red Queen had killed everyone.

If the Red Queen had not locked down the base, his sister could have escaped.

“The T-Virus has invaded the ventilation system. The virus has spread and cannot be controlled.”

“The virus has already begun to evolve. It went from a liquid state to a gaseous state. Now, it can already be transmitted through blood.”

“It can survive by relying on the environment. It has reached a point where it cannot be destroyed. I cannot let it spread.”

“So I took the necessary action.”

“Necessary action?” Matt continued.

“I can’t let the infected people leave.”

“We’re not infected,” Rayne said.

“Even a scratch can cause one to be infected, and you will become like them.”

“Enough. We have already installed a circuit breaker in your system. I know of a maintenance channel here.

You can either tell us where it is or we will destroy you now. ”

Occam saw that everyone had asked what they needed to ask and confirmed what they needed to. The longer they dragged it out, the worse it would be for them.

If they did not leave after the designated time, the passageways that they entered would be completely locked.

This was not what he wanted to see.

Therefore, it was necessary to threaten the Red Queen directly.

He knew that the Red Queen was not an ordinary computer system. It was created by Alice’s original form when she was young.

In other words, this thing was a conscious artificial intelligence.

As long as one was conscious, there was a need for survival.

This was the best threat.

“…”

The Red Queen fell silent in the face of Occam’s threat.

“I’ve checked all your information but it’s blank. I want to know how you got in?”

The Red Queen, who was threatened, did not choose to help them immediately. Instead, she asked a question.

It controlled everything in the hive, including the surveillance system.

She could find everyone’s trace but Occam.

He appeared in Restaurant B. There was no record of Occam entering at all.

Occam was a variable she could not understand or control.

“What!?”

The moment the Red Queen spoke, Alice, Rayne, Chad, and Matt all looked at Occam.

Occam’s appearance was a mystery. He knew that closing the Red Queen would release the zombies.

He knew how to kill zombies.

He knew it was the virus that Spence had released.

Even the Red Queen’s exit passage was from him.

Even when Spence held two guns, he was strangely unaffected by the bullets.

Occam was so mysterious that they could not figure him out.

Everyone wanted to know who he was and why he was here.

Now, even the Red Queen who controlled the base did not know how he came in, which was strange.

The entire base was filled with surveillance cameras. How did he get in? Could it be that he appeared out of thin air?

Everyone was right. Occam had really transmigrated. It was not wrong to say that he appeared out of nowhere.

“Don’t look at me like that! If I say that I transmigrated here in a flash, would you believe me?”

Occam felt uncomfortable being stared at by everyone, especially Alice’s exploring eyes, which made his skin crawl.

He really did not know how he came here. In any case, he transmigrated in a flash.
