Infinite Space

Chapter 5 - The Life-saving Laser Channel（lower part）

Zhan Lan smiled and was about to ask something else when suddenly Zhang Jie stood up violently, he rushed to that steel door window and looked out violently, frightening the rest of the three to follow him, but when they looked through the glass window, there was only bright lights in the passageway, nothing else.

Zhang Jie turned his head and said loudly, "Flame Queen, report what happened outside the manoeuvring room?"

A little girl's voice immediately resounded in the room, "Two creepers are attacking the outermost gate, the gate can still maintain the blockade for forty seconds."

Zhang Jie immediately cursed and turned his head, "Damn, I knew it wasn't that easy! Those creepers must have smelled us, that outermost gate can't hold them back at all, it's a good thing we hid here, I don't know how long those two gates can hold." After saying that, he picked up his watch to take a closer look.

Wang Ye and the others also looked at their watches, the countdown on it still had seventeen minutes left, and they didn't know if these three gates plus the laser defence channel could block these creepers, with the weapons they had at hand, there was no way they could hurt this powerful mutant creature.

Wang Ye didn't want to die here, especially when there was a hope of survival, he didn't want to die, he hurriedly said out loud, "Flame Queen, quickly calculate how long we can hold out?

The little girl's childish voice did not sound again, Wang Ye waited for a moment, then suddenly pointed his gun at the mainframe and said, "Flame Empress, I know that you are programmed to prevent the T-virus from spreading, in other words, you will kill any life forms that might cause the virus to spread, and that includes us, right? So make up your mind, open the defence system to protect us or let the creeps out there rush in, but I'm going to take the first step and destroy your motherboard before I come in, if the whole hive loses control, think how many virus carriers will rush out?"

The child's voice paused for a moment and finally sounded, "May I ask? Since you've all stayed here, why are you still fighting, aren't you planning to sacrifice yourselves?"

Before Wang Ye could say anything, Zhan Lan was already behind him saying loudly, "A computer can't just question a human, you have to have the consciousness of being a computer, understand? Besides, we're already here, dead or not, we won't let the virus spread, right? So why don't you protect us? Flame Queen little girl."

The childish voice paused again before saying, "Understood, Creepers can't get past the last defences.

At that very moment, the steel gate on the other side of the passageway had already let out a loud bang, and the huge body of the Creeper could be seen vaguely peeking out of the glass window of the steel gate on the other side, and after a few loud bangs, the crowd could even see some sharp bumps vaguely appearing on the steel gate.

"What a terrifying power, worth a hundred reward points a monster ...... If there is a bazooka with unlimited ammunition, open the door wide, we can earn reward points here, haha". Zhang Jie said with a laugh.

Wang Ye asked casually, "The Desert Eagle with unlimited bullets is one hundred reward points, and there's a bazooka with unlimited ammunition?"

Zhang Jie said, "Of course, but it's just expensive, the most common single rocket launcher costs two thousand Reward Points, with that many Reward Points, I might as well strengthen my own attributes, and it's not as if any horror movie can be safely survived with a weapon.

Between words, the opposite side of the steel door was completely deformed, the reptile's sharp and huge claws are really powerful and terrifying, even hard to tear the more than ten centimetres of steel plate, a loud bang, two reptiles appeared in the eyes of the crowd.

Several metres of huge bodies, the reptiles are covered with the crimson colour of muscles, they don't have eyes, they seem to use heat source detection and sense of smell to find creatures, their tongues can be stretched out to more than a metre in length, the two huge front claws have extremely evolved into a pair of huge claws that can't be described in words, and their hardness is comparable to that of steel, perhaps even more so!

Wang Ye looked at the two reptiles and then at the pistol in his hand, he couldn't believe that the pistol alone could kill such horrible creatures in front of him, not to mention killing them, being able to hurt them was already considered a blessing.

These two reptiles looked over to this side of the passage, then one of them leapt over, the other reptile following close behind, a loud bang, the crowd all felt the steel gate shaking violently in front of them, this is already their last line of defence directly facing the reptiles, this reptile jumped and had actually pounced on the steel gate.

"Flame Queen!"

Wang Ye and Zhang Jie shouted at the same time, almost at the same time, there was a flash of light somewhere in this passage, a thin line of laser light quickly formed and sprinted towards the two reptiles, the two reptiles were about to pounce on the steel gate once again when the laser line had already cut through them, with two soft sounds, the laser line disappeared without a trace, the two reptiles were completely silent, slowly, their huge bodies split down the middle, and finally, their entire upper and lower bodies shattered into pieces. The entire upper and lower bodies broke in two.

"Whew!"

All four of them exhaled at the same time, the huge oppressive power of the creeper was too much, ordinary people looked very small in front of it, a life in front of the creeper only needed one claw to end in an instant, even the strongest of the four, Zhang Jie, was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, facing the creeper was also impossible, once the gate was broken, they would surely die!

Zhang Jie sat down firmly on the ground and smoked a few cigarettes, not only throwing one to Wang Ye, but also throwing one to Li Xiaoyi, which immediately made the teenager feel flattered, he lit the cigarette and took a deep breath before saying, ''I know what shock and horror are, right? The situation just now I have experienced a number of times, three times horror film ah, I do not know how I fought about ...... mum! This is called what the matter ah! This really isn't a place where people should stay!"

Wang Ye and Zhan Lan looked at each other and laughed bitterly, at the moment when the crawler had just jumped over, their reaction was even worse than Zhang Jie's, apart from their bodies sweating like rain, their bodies were shaking so much that they almost couldn't even stand up, fortunately, this laser defence system saved their lives, otherwise they wouldn't have had the desire to run away.

"Keep waiting, this laser defence system is good, we should be able to ......"

Zhang Jie hadn't even finished saying this, suddenly the entire host room went violently dark, all four of them froze for a moment, then they hurriedly jumped up and rushed to the glass window of the main door to look out, sure enough, the laser channel outside had also gone pitch black, and the entire host room had lost its power supply.

"s**t! The episode! How could I have forgotten that episode? Do you all remember it? This episode ah!" Zhang Jie kicked the steel door violently as he roared madly.

Wang Ye bitterly remembered this episode of Resident Evil I. Resident Evil I was a horror movie from a long time ago, although he had seen it, he had forgotten some details, after thinking about it for a long time, he finally shouted at the same time as Zhan Lan, "Kaplan shut down the Flame Empress!"

Wang Ye recalled the episode, at that time, the male and female protagonists were both locked in a research room by electronic locks, one side of the research room's gate was attacked by reptilians, Kaplan, in order to save them, used a remote control device to shut down the Flame Empress central mainframe all at once, thus leaving the four people in a defenceless position, in addition to this gate, the most powerful laser defence system was instantly ineffective!

Gradually, the four people also calmed down, knowing that the slightest sound could lead to the creepers, so in addition to the sound of breathing and heartbeat, no one dares to say a word, yet in this silent and incomparable darkness, the sound of the four people's breathing can still be clearly heard.

I don't know how long it's been, but in this darkness, a heavy wheezing sound has been coming gradually, and at the same time, the sound of steel being rubbed can be heard, Wang Ye knew that there was a creeper outside, even if he didn't look at it.

He remembered that the power supply hadn't been cut off for long, after a few minutes at most, the heroine and the others would have returned to the ground from the compartment, at that time, the blockade gate would have been completely closed, and the time on the clock would have ended at about the same time as the gate closed.

Wang Ye asked Zhan Lan beside him in a low voice, "How much longer, how much time is left on the clock?"

Zhan Lan replied, "I don't know, it's dark and no one can see ...... probably a few minutes left.

A few minutes, a few minutes at the end?

Wang Ye didn't dare to speak anymore, because that heavy gasping sound had come to the gate, that gasping sound kept coming through the steel gate, and the mood of the crowd became more and more tense, and then they even heard the sound of the steel gate rubbing together, it was clearly the reptile rubbing the gate with its claws.

(How much time left? How much time left? Hurry up!)

Wang Ye stared at the steel gate with full concentration, holding the pistol with a few bullets left in both hands, even though he knew that this pistol couldn't possibly harm the reptile, it was the only psychological confidence he had at the moment.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, a sharp bump appeared on the steel gate, the four people immediately felt as if their hearts were going to jump out of their chests, they violently ran backwards, including Zhang Jie, all of them clinging to the corners of the walls, all of them could only look at the steel gate with their eyes wide open.

The violent sound continued, the sharp bumps on the steel gate became more and more pronounced, finally, the sharp tip of the claw pierced the gate, it seemed to cut through the cream, it even tore open the more than ten centimetre thick steel plate, the terrifying face of the creeper also appeared behind the steel gate.

"Ah!"

Wang Ye and Zhang Jie roared at the same time, the guns in their hands desperately hit the reptile, but in this darkness, plus two people at the moment were so scared that they almost lost their minds, the bullets shot one did not hit the reptile, and the reptile threw away the pieces of the gate in its hands after it hissed, and fiercely jumped over to the four people ......
