Chapter 131: Password
“No need to apologize. You did it to get us the antidote,” Chad comforted Alice when she blamed herself.
Actually, it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong.
After all, hadn’t Alice entered this place because they had been bitten by zombies?
What reason did they have to blame her?
The Red Queen was too cunning. They were all fooled by her child-like appearance.
“There’s a virus serum outside. We won’t leak the virus.”
Rayne did not give up.
“The infection has lasted too long. There’s no guarantee that it won’t work,” replied the Red Queen coldly.
“But there’s still a chance, right?” Rayne said.
“I won’t allow any chances to take risks.”
In the face of Rayne’s attempt to convince her, the Red Queen did not give them a chance. She wanted to crush them.
Everyone began to look for a way out.
However, as time passed, there was no other way out of the laboratory.
“There’s no time, guys!”
Rayne looked at his watch. It was about time the outside door was completely locked.
If they still could not leave this place, they would never be able to leave.
“You need a four-digit password.”
“I can give you the password, but you need to help me do something.”
As everyone was anxious, the Red Queen’s voice sounded again.
Her words were enticing.
“What do you want?”
Alice looked puzzled.
“Some of you are infected. You can exchange their lives for the password.”
“The antiviral serum is on the platform, right there.”
Alice was furious when she heard the Red Queen’s request.
The antiviral serum was clearly on the bus. As long as they were allowed to go out, they could directly inject the serum and remove the infection.
“I’m sorry, I won’t allow any risks.”
In response to Alice’s roar, the Red Queen’s cold electronic voice was heard.
“She’s right. You need to kill me.”
Seeing that time was running out, Rayne felt that she might not be able to survive after getting the serum.
In that case, she might as well sacrifice herself to let the uninfected Alice, Occam, and Matt leave.
Rayne directly took a fire axe from the fire escape and threw it to Alice. She lowered her head and told Alice to kill her.
“And me.”
Chad hesitated, but still stepped out and lowered his head.
He had been bitten by zombies too. If he lived, the Red Queen would not have let them leave.
They had to be sacrificed.
“Boom!”
Just as everyone was feeling conflicted, a terrifying monster crashed into the glass on one side of the laboratory, causing the entire laboratory to shake.
“Oh! Unfortunately, another line of defense is here.”
“What is that?” Alice asked doubtfully.
“Crawler, one of the early experiments of the Hive.”
“Inject the T-Virus directly into active cell tissue production and the combat power will increase dramatically.”
“Even tempered glass can’t block it for long. Looks like you don’t have much time. Make your choice!”
“Do it!”
Rayne watched as time passed. There were monsters here. If they continued to delay, they would be killed by this monster even if they did not get trapped in the hive.
Therefore, he knelt on the ground and begged.
“No, I can’t do this.”
Alice could not bring herself to do it when she saw that Rayne had volunteered to die.
“Boom, boom!”
At that moment, the monster outside the glass began slamming madly against the tempered glass again.
Not long after, the glass that could not even be shot began to crack.
Clearly, before long, the monsters would break through the tempered glass and enter. They would all die.
“Kill her!”
“Kill her!”
“Kill her!”
The Red Queen’s voice came from the loudspeaker repeatedly as she urged crazily.
“Kill me, please,” Rayne called out desperately for Alice to attack.
If this continued, none of them would survive.
The Red Queen would only let them go if she died.
They had no other way out.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The crawler continued to ram. More cracks appeared and grew larger. At any moment, it might shatter the glass and charge into the lab.
If that happened, none of them would be able to escape.
“Hurry!” Rayne yelled madly, determined to die.
On one side, the Red Queen was threatening them, and on the other, their teammates were begging for death. There were also monsters eyeing them covetously from the side, ready to charge in at any moment and kill all of them.
Under the immense pressure, even Alice could not withstand it. She slowly raised the axe.
What should he do? Kill her teammates and save herself? Or die together here?
Two thoughts intertwined crazily in Alice’s mind.
At this moment, she had never felt so tormented.
If she killed her teammates, she could live, but she would be condemned by her conscience for the rest of her life.
If they did not kill them, everyone would die if the monster charged in.
Live them or die together.
‘What to do! What to do! What to do!’
“Urgh!”
Seeing that it was too late, Alice’s eyes showed determination and she finally made up her mind.
She raised the fire axe and used all her strength.
She smashed the screen of the rambling Red Queen.
“Bam!”
The display exploded and the Red Queen’s voice stopped.
She was human. She would never betray her comrades. She would never kill her own people, even if they died together.
“You will all die here!”
The Red Queen’s voice came intermittently from the ragged display horn.
“Boom!”
The tempered glass suddenly exploded, and the crawler crashed through the glass and into the laboratory, creating a huge splash.
“Die!”
Alice held the fire axe and hacked at the crawler recklessly.
With her strength, this axe could even split apart a zombie.
However, facing such a sharp axe, the Crawler was not afraid at all. He slapped his claw at the axe.
“Bang!”
A spark shot out and a terrifying force surged out. Alice could not hold the axe and was sent flying.
“Clang!”
The axe landed with a violent thud.
As an agent, Alice could not even withstand a single blow from the terrifying power of the Crawlers.
“Roar!”
The Crawler seemed to be very angry that a human dared to provoke it. With a roar, it opened its bloody mouth and charged towards Alice.
With the ability of a Crawler, he would definitely be able to bite Alice’s neck off.
“It’s over!”
Rayne, Chad, and Matt saw how fierce and fast the monster was. Yet, they had no weapons.
It was impossible for them to help even if he wanted to. Their hearts were filled with endless despair.
Was all of them going to die here?
Alice closed her beautiful eyes in despair.
“Buzz ~”
However, just as Alice’s life was on the line and she was about to be killed by the Crawlers, a terrifying magnetic field erupted from Occam’s body.
In an instant, all the experimental equipment, tables, chairs, and even the fire axe that was slapped away, as long as it was metal, floated up without exception.
