Alice trembled as she raised the gun and said to Chen Hang, "Why did you do this!"

Chen Hang's face was expressionless, but his heart was already pounding wildly!

What should he do? Should he make the first move and get rid of Alice?

Looking at Alice's delicate and beautiful face, Chen Hang made a move that even he didn't expect!

He dropped the gun in his hand!

Chen Hang decided to take a gamble!

"Yes, it was me who stole the virus, I eavesdropped on your secret conversation, and I used you... Everything that happened is because of me!"

Chen Hang looked at Alice with a sincere expression, "I'm sorry, Alice. I'm a bastard, blinded by money, and did something I shouldn't have done!"

"Alice! Can you forgive me?"

After saying this, Chen Hang looked at Alice with great anticipation.

On the surface, Chen Hang appeared to be admitting his mistake, but inside, he was extremely nervous! His back was drenched in cold sweat.

This was a gamble with his life!

What a damn system! I bought a watch last year!

Alice's expression was very painful!

Recalling everything that happened in the Hive, Chen Hang always protected her and kept her from harm. Now that the truth was revealed, Alice felt even more distressed.

Finally, Alice couldn't bring herself to pull the trigger and lowered the gun!

Seeing this, Chen Hang didn't even have time to relax when he saw Alice raise the gun again, aiming it at him with a cold expression!

Chen Hang's eyes widened in disbelief, completely shocked and unable to react in time!

Bang!

The gun went off.

Chen Hang thought he was done for, but found himself unharmed, stunned!

Splash!

Behind him, he heard the sound of a heavy object falling into the water. Turning around, he saw a female zombie with dead gray eyes lying in the water.

There was a fresh gunshot wound on the female zombie's forehead.

It turned out Alice was helping him!

Chen Hang sighed with relief, but when he turned to look at Alice, he saw her face was cold, no longer showing the beautiful smile she used to give him.

"Alice's affection for you - 70%!"

The voice in his head made Chen Hang smile bitterly.

After all that effort to ingratiate himself, just when success seemed within reach, everything was back to square one.

But, there was nothing he could do about it.

Forget it, just treat it as if there was no such mission, and treat the evolution points as lost!

Chen Hang thought it was simple, but seeing Alice's cold expression, his heart ached inexplicably, as if a piece of his heart was missing!

He couldn't help but open his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Matt suddenly rushed over and punched Chen Hang in the face.

"You killed my sister!"

Matt's eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted to tear Chen Hang apart, beating him mercilessly.

Chen Hang didn't fight back, but looked at Alice.

He saw Alice sitting next to Rain, expressionless, seemingly not noticing that he was being beaten, and not pointing a gun at anyone who threatened Chen Hang as she used to.

Instantly, Chen Hang lost the will to resist, feeling as if he had lost something, and let Matt beat him without resistance.

"Hey, don't kill him, I still need him to tell me where the antidote is!"

Rain's face was becoming increasingly pale, and he had to catch his breath after each word.

Chen Hang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "The antidote is where you found me, on the train."

"Let's leave this place first!"

Alice helped Rain up, preparing to leave.

Suddenly, the iron door of the laboratory slammed shut, locking automatically.

Matt rushed over and tried his best, but couldn't budge the iron door.

"Damn! The door is locked, we're trapped."

Alice immediately knew who was behind this. She looked up and scanned the area, "Red Queen, I know it's you!"

Red Queen's crisp electronic voice sounded lazily, "I didn't expect you to survive this long!"

Rain couldn't contain his anger, "FUCK! You damn bitch, I'll smash you to pieces."

Chen Hang's face changed, remembering that the remote control for Red Queen was still in Kaplan's hands.

Alice asked calmly, "What do you want?"

"I can't let any of you leave, as one of you is infected!"

Rain's face turned green, "The antidote is outside, you damn bitch."

"I'm not sure the serum will work, given how long you've been infected!"

"But there's still a chance, right?" Rain persisted.

"I can't allow any risk!"

Hearing this, Rain no longer argued and picked up the fire axe nearby.

"Go to hell!"

Thud—

Rain used all his strength to smash the glass, but it was bulletproof.

Not only did he fail to break it, but he fell to the ground from the impact.

Red Queen said confidently, "Don't waste your effort, you can't escape from here!"

Time ticked by, and Rain looked at his watch, smiling bitterly, "We're out of time, guys!"

Matt went to the electronic lock by the iron door, but he didn't know the password and couldn't open it after many attempts.

"You need a four-digit password to open the door! I can give you the password, but you need to do something for me."

Red Queen's words caught everyone's attention.

Alice couldn't help but ask, "What do you want?"

"One of you is infected, and I can't let the virus leave here!"

This statement changed everyone's expressions.

Red Queen was forcing them to turn on each other!

Alice clenched her teeth, suppressing her anger, "The serum is outside, right there!"

"Sorry, I can't allow any risk," Red Queen replied.

"She's right!" Rain swallowed hard, "You should listen to her!"

Rain handed the axe to Alice.

"Time is running out, do it quickly!"

After saying this, he closed his eyes, ready to face his fate.

Without hesitation, Alice said, "I won't hurt you."

"Kill me quickly!" Rain said, "Otherwise, we'll all die here."

Alice hesitated, unwilling to act.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from the laboratory's glass window.

Bang—

A monstrous creature appeared, crashing into the bulletproof glass, causing the entire laboratory to shake.

The creature had a long tongue, and its skin looked as if it had been burned, disgusting and terrifying!

"What the hell is that thing!" Matt exclaimed in shock.

Chen Hang's face also turned grim.

A Licker!

This monster had finally appeared.

Seeing this non-human creature in person, the impact on Chen Hang was far greater than watching it in a movie.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Chen Hang's forehead.

Red Queen reminded lazily, "The glass is reinforced, but it won't last long. You don't have much time."

Bang! Bang!

The monster crashed into the glass a few times, and cracks appeared as expected.

Alice said coldly to Red Queen, "You never intended to let us go, did you? This is what you left for us, right?"

Red Queen didn't deny it, clearly admitting it.

Seeing the monster about to break through the window, Rain knelt in front of Alice, extending his neck.

"Come on! Do it quickly!"

"Rain, no, I can't do this!"

"Do it quickly!"

Red Queen's voice joined in, trying to persuade Alice, "Kill her quickly, you have no other choice!"

"No, I can't!"

"Kill me quickly!"

"Kill her!"

The scene was chaotic, and Alice was confused, unsure what to do.

Suddenly, Chen Hang remembered that in the movie, Kaplan didn't die but appeared at a critical moment to save everyone.

Thinking of this, he rushed forward, snatched the axe from Alice, and slashed it at the surveillance camera.

He silently prayed that the plot hadn't changed and that Kaplan would appear.

Otherwise, once the Licker broke in, none of them would survive!

Sizzle—

The surveillance camera was destroyed, sparking.

Suddenly, the entire Hive's power was cut off, plunging it into darkness.

The iron door, which Red Queen had locked, now lost her control, and the green light turned on, opening automatically.

Seeing this, Chen Hang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The plot hadn't changed much, and Kaplan was still alive.

The iron door opened, and Kaplan, holding the remote control, appeared, covered in blood.

Clearly, he had suffered a lot in the sewers to escape.

Seeing Kaplan, Alice and Rain both smiled.

Kaplan, who had survived the ordeal, said casually, "Red Queen wouldn't open the door, so I had to shut her down!"

The relaxed atmosphere didn't last long, as a loud bang interrupted them.

The Licker was still there!

"Let's get out of here!"

The group didn't hesitate and quickly left the laboratory.

Bang!

Just as they left the laboratory, the Licker finally broke through the bulletproof glass and followed them.

Matt quickly locked the iron door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Licker's impacts deformed the iron door.

"Oh, my God, what the hell is this thing?"

Kaplan was shocked by the Licker's destructive power.

"I'll tell you later." Alice, supporting Rain, said anxiously, "Let's get out of this place quickly!"

PS: "I bought a watch last year" is a popular internet phrase, a curse, with the first letter being WQNIMLGB, meaning "I went to hell." If you don't know, don't be confused!
