there is a butterfly in my mind

Zhuang Xian and the others looked at each other in dismay, but they all felt that the red queen was a bit scary, with almost no restraint.

"Then why did you design to kill us? Shouldn't you be designed to help us?" Zhuang Xian continued to ask.

"Just now you said that you want to shut me down, but if you shut me down, you will also turn off the main power supply in the hive laboratory. In this way, the zombies and lickers that I have sealed in the laboratory will be released. In my underlying logic, the most important thing is to prevent the virus from leaking in the laboratory, so I cannot let you shut me down." The Red Queen replied.

"You mean, you killed everyone in the lab because they were infected with the virus, and you killed them to prevent the virus from leaking?" James asked.

"Yes, this morning I discovered during surveillance that someone stole the most important research achievement in the hive laboratory - the T virus. And it wasn't just as simple as stealing. Before he left, he smashed a tube of the T virus in the laboratory, but the T virus and the corresponding antidote were stolen by him. There is no antidote, and the infection of the T virus cannot be stopped, so I have no choice but to kill them all." The Red Queen explained.

At this time, James suddenly thought of Spence and the refrigerator that was found with him, so he asked, "Is the thief you mentioned, the Spence who is with me and has lost his memory now."

"Yes, that's him. Last time he disguised himself as a researcher and sneaked into the hive laboratory. Since his information was all true, I couldn't find him until he stole the T-virus." The Red Queen affirmed.

"Okay, one last question, what happened to those people who died but came back to life? I don't think they have a clear consciousness?" Zhuang Xian asked.

"This is the most important secret of the umbrella company. According to the authority, you should not know about it, but in exchange for the condition that you don't shut me down, I can tell you." Red Queen said.

Zhuang Xian and James looked at each other again, and they could see the worry in each other's eyes.They found that this red queen intelligent program not only has self-awareness, but can also make corresponding judgments for certain situations, which can already be regarded as a kind of intelligent life.

"T virus, this is the greatest discovery in human history, it will be the key to human evolution, and it is also a biochemical weapon that various organizations and countries want, and the people in the laboratory are infected with T virus." Red Queen said.

After a pause, the Red Queen continued: "After a person dies, in fact, the cells of the person are not completely dead. Some cells continue to grow, such as human nails, hair, and even the human brain will generate a weak current. The T virus can promote this current, allowing the dead person to regain cell activity and move again."

"You mean, back from the dead?" James interjected.

"It's not that easy. Although the ultimate goal of the research is why people can live forever, the current T virus is too violent. As long as they are infected with the T virus, the normal cells of the human body will be quickly destroyed by the T virus, and then the body will be taken over by the virus, leaving only the most basic instincts and continuing to spread to the next host."

"What do you mean by instinct?"

"Eating, strong electrical stimulation will make them have a very strong sense of hunger, so they will try their best to eat, and at the same time pass the virus to the next host through biting."

"Since they are very hungry, why don't I see them attacking each other, but want to attack us instead?" Zhuang Xian continued to ask.

"Because the current generated by the virus in the host has a repulsive reaction, the most instinctive purpose of the virus is to spread and evolve, so they will only attack creatures that are different from them. However, some creatures that have already symbiosis with the T virus may also attack zombies if they can't find food."

"For example, is there such a creature in the hive laboratory?" Zhuang Xian continued to ask, and now it was mainly Zhuang Xian who was talking to the Red Queen, and James and Kaplan were quietly listening beside him.

"..." The Red Queen was silent for a while, and continued: "The B restaurant you passed by is actually a biological weapon developed by the Umbrella Company. Some people with special constitutions can absorb the T-Virus, but they are far from reaching the symbiosis situation. In the end, they became a new creature under the evolution of the T-Virus, and the Umbrella Company named him the Licker."

"Unlike zombies, they don't have any consciousness at all, they only have the instinct to eat. Lickers have become a new kind of creature, their intelligence is comparable to that of wild beasts, and they have animal instincts, so they are also more dangerous. This is why I can't let you shut me down, otherwise those lickers will be released and cause more serious disasters."

"The last question from my side, is there a way to kill them?" Zhuang Xian asked.

"Attack their brains, as long as they lose their brains, they will stop all activities." The Red Queen said.

"Captain James, do you have any questions? I've finished asking all the questions I wanted to ask. Now it's time for you to consider whether to turn off the Red Queen. But my suggestion is, don't turn it off. You have heard the answer from the Red Queen just now. If you turn it off, the disaster that will be caused is beyond our control. A bad situation will bring all human beings into a dangerous situation." Zhuang Xian said seriously to James, letting him make a decision.

At this time, the door of the main control room opened again, and Alice and the others came in.It turned out that Zhuang Xian and the others stayed in the main control room for too long, they thought they were in danger, so they came in to have a look.

"Zhuang, what's the matter?" Alice asked Zhuang Xian.

Zhuang Xian briefly introduced the situation to Alice and the others, but only concealed the matter of Spence, otherwise he would know that we found out that he was a spy.

After everyone knew about it, they also looked at James who was standing over there with a tangled expression.

At this time Kaplan said to James: "Captain, time is running out, we have less than an hour left."

"What do you mean, what do you mean there is less than an hour left?!" Zhuang Xian asked in surprise.

"The company only gave us three hours to pick up the red queen's motherboard. After three hours, regardless of whether we have completed the task, the company will seal all the doors in the hive to avoid causing more harm." James said.

"What, this kind of thing, why didn't you say it earlier! Then what are you waiting for, why don't you go out now, the things in the hive laboratory are no longer something ordinary people like us can handle." Zhuang Xian heard that this would be the result, and hurriedly urged everyone to go out.It doesn't matter to me, it's a big deal to leave this world, but Alice can't.Didn't he make so many changes to make Alice less painful in the future, but if Alice is locked here in the end, it would be better not to change anything at the beginning.

Everyone listened to Zhuang Xian's words and thought that it was true. Since we can't make a decision and deal with the crisis, we should just let competent people handle it.

So everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave the Hive Lab.

At this moment, with a sound of "snap!", a strong current passed through Red Queen's CPU, the virtual image of Red Queen floating in mid-air disappeared instantly, and all the lights in the laboratory were turned off.

Seeing this scene, everyone's heart suddenly became cold.

"What's going on, who pressed the switch?!" James shouted angrily.

"Captain, none of us pressed it, and the switch is still in your hand." Kaplan reminded in a low voice.

At this time, the system restarted, all the lights came on again, and James found that the switch was indeed in his hand.He immediately explained: "But I didn't press the switch either!"

After 30 seconds, the mainboard of the Red Queen, which was not taken away by everyone, restarted again.The red queen is also redisplayed through the virtual imager.

"It wasn't the switch you activated. My program found that someone should have activated the circuit breaker remotely." The Red Queen said to Zhuang Xian and the others.

"What, you said someone controlled it remotely?" James called out a little pale.

"It seems that some people in the company don't believe you, and I even think that the leak of the T-virus in the laboratory was intentional." Zhuang Xian said.

"You mean, the leak of the T virus was not an accident?" James was even more surprised when he heard Zhuang Xian's words.

"Let's not discuss the leak of the T virus for now. The most important thing now is whether the zombies have been released." Zhuang Xian didn't want to get too entangled with them on the leak of the T virus.

"I can't help it. In just half a minute, all the zombies were released. I can only help you trap the zombies that haven't escaped. You can wish for yourselves." After the red queen finished speaking, she disappeared.

Zhuang Xian immediately said: "Hurry up, send someone to inform Ryan and the others that the zombies that will come out will be unconscious zombies, and the only way to kill them is to attack their heads."

One of the commandos immediately said, "I'll inform them."

Shortly after the commando left, gunshots were heard from the direction of Restaurant B.

"It's too late, I just hope they won't be bitten." Zhuang Xian said worriedly.

"Captain, what should we do?" The players who were still here asked James.

"Take up your weapons, I will lead everyone out, and we will die together." Now that something has happened, they can only find a way to solve it. Blaming others is not their style.

"Alice, let's go too, believe me, we will be able to rush out." Zhuang Xian said while holding Alice's hand.

"I believe in you, but don't underestimate me, I'm also very good." Alice said confidently.

"Of course, my Alice is the most powerful."

They didn't do any packing, just took all the guns and ammunition and the T-virus refrigerator, and everyone walked to Restaurant B together.

At the front, Zhuang Xian and James walked together, and Zhuang Xian said: "Judging from the current situation, zombies are not scary, what is scary are lickers. There are only more than 500 zombies at most, and the ammunition we have now is enough to kill them all, but lickers, according to the description of the red queen, I don't know if we can kill them."

"Let's talk about it, everyone just needs to be careful. No matter how powerful the beast is, I believe it can't match the guns in our hands." James said.

By the time everyone came to Restaurant B, this place had already become a battlefield.Ryan, Jedi, and another commando were shooting at the endless stream of zombies.
