"This is a chain reaction after the restart of the 'White Queen'. The lighting system is because..." Team B, who was raising his gun on guard, glanced at the portable computer on his arm and explained in a low voice.

"How long will it take to recover?" After hearing this, Hank immediately interrupted the other party's unspoken series of professional terms and went straight to the point.

"Five minutes!" Team B, who seemed to have been accustomed to this for a long time, blurted out. After thinking for a while, he added: "At least five minutes..."

"F*** (Harmony)!" After receiving the bad news, Hank couldn't help but curse. He immediately issued a new order: "Bruce, you are responsible for defending the rear of the team, the rest...s*** (Harmony)

...Fire!"

Before Hank could finish his sentence, he saw two Lickers appearing at the corner ahead, revealing their ferocious faces.

As soon as these two humanoid creatures suddenly appeared, they climbed up the walls and ceiling on their hands and feet and quickly launched a surprise attack on everyone. The next second, the "bang bang" sound of gunfire suddenly sounded in the corridor.

Number Zero, on the other hand, turned around as soon as Hank gave the order. At this time, he had put all his attention behind everyone, ignoring the fierce battle behind them!

In such a critical moment of life and death, the most taboo thing in the team is to act without obeying orders. Now that Hank has given orders to Zero, he must obey absolutely if he wants to continue to stay in the Alpha Team.

.

When the shotgun fired another round of bullets, Hank took advantage of the gap in reloading ammunition to glance back at Zero, who was fully alert behind them, and nodded secretly. No matter which army, only those who obey orders are good members.

!

In fact, when the alpha team received the task of "protecting" Zero when it went deep into the research institute, they were a little confused at first.

After all, the U.S.S. team is a special force that specializes in performing dangerous missions, and no matter who it is, no matter who it is, it will be very unhappy for the senior management to forcefully insert a "miscellaneous fish" who is obviously holding everyone back.

Based on past experience, this guy who is "protected" by his team has a high chance of "die in the line of duty" soon...

(ps: One of the reasons why Hank later received the title of "Reaper" is that the members of his team will eventually "die in the line of duty" no matter how strong they are, but he himself can always complete the task successfully alone.

mission and successfully survived... The more critical point is that the sacrifices of those teammates had nothing to do with Hank, it was purely because of their bad luck...)

Who would have known that after everyone entered the "Ant Nest" and experienced a series of events, Hank gradually began to look at Zero in a different light, and even had the idea of ​​incorporating him into his team more than once...

The things that make Hank satisfied with Zero can be roughly divided into the following three points.

One is Zero's crisis prediction ability that is comparable to a "human radar".

With the help of this ability, Hank and others can always prepare in advance before the enemy launches an attack, which is equivalent to lowering the danger level of the entire team by more than one level.

The second is that Hank discovered that no matter what task he assigned to Zero, he could carry it out very seriously and perfectly.

Putting aside his lack of strength, Zero can definitely be regarded as a trustworthy teammate.

The last point is that Zero often raises some very critical questions.

Hank found that this guy was very comprehensive when thinking about things, and he could always think of some key points that no one else had noticed. What a good choice for second-in-command!

Well... Actually there is another hidden reason that makes Hank even more satisfied, that is, according to Zero's personal information, this guy is very... very... very rich!

Yes, the hidden reason is that Zero is very rich...

One of the most important reasons why several members of the alpha team joined the U.S.S., a special unit that is ready to fight all kinds of B.O.W.s at any time, is that the unit's salary is very generous!

To put it simply, except for a few people who have special hobbies or who really can't quit, most soldiers who join the U.S. Army will generally be very... uh... poor in life...

(ps: Well, I really don’t want to use the word debt-ridden...)

Of course, this is also a normal phenomenon. Who would be willing to risk their lives if it were not to make legal "quick money"?

Wouldn't it be nice to lie on a soft sofa, cross your legs, eat pizza, and watch the dancing ladies in "X Sound" with your mobile phone?

Ahem...

Because the soldiers were short of money, a new problem emerged in disguise, that is, some members of the U.S.S. were easily bribed by the competitors of the "Raincoat" company.

No one knows whether the teammates fighting alongside them will suddenly rebel during a certain mission!

When the U.S.S. troops performed dangerous missions, the mission failed more than once because someone (or all members) in the team was bribed by a competing company.

This kind of situation will basically not happen to the "super fat sheep" No. 0, because this person is not short of money at all...

In the dark corridor of the underground research institute, the battle is still going on!

The Lickers attracted by the sound of gunfire were still scurrying out of the corners of the corridor. The magazines of the three of them had been changed several times, and four or five Lickers had fallen on the floor not far from them.

The corpse of the person.

When Hank fired the last bullet from the shotgun in his hand and shot a licker that was charging towards him in the head, he seemed to be aware of it and glanced at the corner of the corridor. Sure enough, two more lickers climbed up.

It crawled on the wall and jumped out again, roaring loudly at them!

In less than two minutes, most of the ammunition carried by these people had been consumed. If things continued like this, it wouldn't take long for them to be eaten alive by the lickers.

Just when Hank was hesitating whether to retreat, Zero, with his back to Hank, reminded him: "These should be the last two!"

His words seemed to give everyone a shot in the arm.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the three people who were shooting at the last two lickers immediately became energetic. At this time, they all had the feeling that there were still ten minutes left before getting off work, and tomorrow was the weekend...

When the last licker's head was shot into a rotten watermelon by Hank, the dark laboratory became quiet again. Three (four) men with heavy breathing retreated to a relatively safe distance and began to carefully

Check your ammunition inventory.

When it was confirmed again that all the fallen lickers were completely dead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Since the lighting equipment has not yet been restarted, the best choice in today's dark environment is to stick to a relatively safe place.
Chapter completed!
