In Hobbes's hand, the warhammer and the ax turned into two propellers, and all the arrows that came close to him bounced aside.
Steve is even simpler. He just raises the shield and no arrow will hit him.
Laura and David huddled behind Steve and slowly moved forward with Steve.
Although David did not activate the Holy Light Shield and these arrows could not hurt him, in order to keep a low profile at this time, he decided to behave normally.
Glancing at the two corpses next to them, Jack and John now looked more like hedgehogs than hedgehogs. Even if all the arrows on their bodies were pulled out, it would be impossible for anyone to recognize their identities.
"What a tragedy!"
There was a second of silence for the two costars, and David also checked on Kaplan.
Only then did we realize that the mechanic introduced by Kane was not hit by the first round of arrows because he was standing in a better position. He immediately hid behind the big tree and was currently sticking out half of his head to check the situation.
Here!
Just as David was checking, Hobbes had already rushed to the manor house with two heavy weapons. He jumped onto the house with a slight leap, swung the sledgehammer in his hand, and smashed it with ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping pong.
In a short time, these automatic crossbow mechanisms on the roof were smashed into scraps.
Boom!
Hobbs jumped from the roof and moved his neck slightly. This small scene was not even a warm-up for him. It was just a pity that the two teammates he recruited died before they could enter the gate.
.
"This seems to be the automatic defense facility of the manor. It's really strange... If the laboratory was attacked, how did they avoid these protective facilities?"
Under normal circumstances, after intruding within a certain range without permission, the automatic defense mechanism will be triggered.
If the Honeycomb Laboratory was attacked from outside, there was no reason why these defense facilities would not be triggered by me and others until now: "The situation is a bit wrong, everyone should be more careful next."
Hobbes, who traveled all over the country and made a good name for himself, is not a guy who only has muscles but no brains. He even began to think about whether to give up this commission directly?
But thinking that there was no substantial evidence at present, just retreating like this would really damage my reputation, so I decided to find out more.
He turned around and looked at David and his teammates. These teammates had no intention of retreating. Hobbs was even less prepared to leave when he saw this.
In any case, the famous Luke Hobbs can't be compared with a few unknowns, right?
Seeing Hobbes strutting into the mansion, David and Steve looked at each other and spread their hands together.
They all saw it. Hobbes noticed something was wrong, but was tired of his reputation and gave up the best opportunity to exit.
"It's a shame. If he chooses to leave, it might be a good thing."
Laura also saw this, and what she said was not just referring to what was about to happen in the Hive Laboratory.
Rather, it refers to the entire ‘candidate’ program.
As a candidate, if Luke Hobbs charges forward unswervingly, he is destined to hit a wall called 'David'.
Position determines the relationship between David and the candidates, unless Hobbes voluntarily lowers his 'status' and becomes David's 'teammate', that is, he voluntarily gives up his identity as the 'protagonist' and is willing to play a supporting role.
However, several people present could see that this Hobbes was obviously not someone who would do that.
"What are you going to do?"
Laura looked at David and pointed at Hobbes who had already walked into the mansion.
David didn't hesitate at all: "Cold!"
What else can be done? The only thing David can do is to explain the general situation clearly before taking action and let the other party die clearly.
Of course, if Hobbes died directly in the laser tunnel like the mercenary captain in the original plot, David wouldn't have to bother.
They walked into the mansion together, and they didn't have to worry about not being able to find Hobbes if they moved too slowly, because the big man was standing in the spacious hall of the mansion, talking to a woman in a red dress.
Several people who had just reviewed the plot of Resident Evil yesterday afternoon recognized at a glance that this woman was the absolute protagonist of the Resident Evil movie version: Alice.
"Now there are two candidates standing in front of you. Do you want to take action?"
Ignoring Steve's joke, David came to Hobbs's side in a few steps. Alice was stunned for a moment when she saw David. She looked at David carefully twice before looking at him.
Laura and Steve.
"These are my teammates."
When Hobbes was asking the clueless Alice about the situation, Kaplan finally came to the inside of the mansion, quickly entered into the character, and checked every mechanism in the mansion.
Finally, we came to the conclusion: the mechanism in the mansion has been activated, and Alice's current state of not knowing anything should be the residual effect of the mental attack.
Hobbes, who still expected to be able to ask something from the 'guardian' of the laboratory, felt disappointed when he heard this.
"How long will it take for her to recover?"
"If it's fast, it can take a few hours; if it's slow, it can take a few days to a month."
"..." Hobbes cursed in a low voice, wondering what kind of weird mechanism this was?
At this moment, Hobbs seemed to notice something. Before he could signal his teammates, he saw Steve suddenly throw the shield in his hand.
Dang~dang~boom!
After being refracted twice, the round shield accurately hit a man hiding in the corner, and then the shield bounced back again and flew back to Steve's hand.
Seeing this outrageous scene, Hobbes didn't even bother to care about the unknown person who was knocked unconscious. He looked at Steve and the shield in his hand with curiosity.
"What kind of shield is this?"
"The best buckler in our village."
While the two were talking, David brought back the unknown person: he was a young man, wearing simple leather armor and with a standard one-handed sword stuck at his waist.
When Hobbes saw this man's attire and weapons, his brows knitted together.
Just when he wanted David to wake the man up, the man woke up himself: "I am the local patrol guard Matthew Addison."
"Why do the patrol guards only wear simple leather armor? And why do they go to other people's houses so late at night?"
"I just heard some noise here and came over to check. I'm not wearing guard armor because I'm not on duty." The man stood up and checked himself, and found that except for a slight pain in the back of his neck, there was no abnormality anywhere else: "
Who are you?"
"I am Luke Hobbs. I was entrusted by the owner here to investigate whether something happened to the laboratory he invested in."
"Luke Hobbs?" Matthew Addison was shocked when he heard this: "That Luke Hobbs?"
"I don't know which one you are referring to, but I am indeed Luke Hobbes."
"Luke Hobbes of the Holy City?"
"It's me!"
"Wow!"
Matthew, whose face was suddenly filled with joy, opened his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Kaplan, who had been busy for a long time.
"The secret door has been unlocked and we can go in."
As if he had been reminded of something, Matthew immediately closed his mouth, and the look of surprise disappeared. Instead, he looked around with vigilant eyes, looking at David and others.
When his eyes glanced at David, Matthew was surprised to find that this man actually nodded and said hello to him.
"..."
It's strange. Matthew doesn't know why. This young man has an expression of "everything is under control". Is it because he is Hobbs's teammate? Is he full of confidence in Luke Hobbs?
With all kinds of questions in his mind, and Matthew also had matters he wanted to investigate, even if Hobbes didn't embarrass him or detain him, he still followed Hobbes and his group into the mechanism opened by Kaplan.
Secret door.
After walking into it, I found that it was a small station, and a magic subway stopped in front of everyone.
From the perspective of David and others, after entering here, the surrounding environment has changed completely: if we were still in a European medieval-style mansion before, we are now in modern times.
However, the core still maintains the magic wind. There are some glitches on the magic subway, which mechanic Kaplan said he can easily solve.
The actual situation is also the same. After Kaplan went up and fiddled with it twice, the magic subway restarted. Everyone present got on the bus, and found the "source of all evil" Spencer-Parks in the car, which is the original movie
Alice’s fake husband who stole the virus from inside and smashed a tube of virus solution when he left.
I took the subway and quickly arrived at the destination, but there was still a locked door in front of me.
"Only when you enter here can you truly enter the hive laboratory." Kaplan has been busy opening the door of the machine while explaining the situation to several people: "The next step is up to you."
"Don't worry, no matter what happens inside, I can handle it."
At this time, Alice, who had been following along in a daze since just now, finally decided to ask for clarification, but instead of questioning Hobbes, who was obviously the leader, she stood in front of David.
"What's going on?" Seeing that David didn't speak, Alice grabbed David's arm directly, as if to express her attitude: "I want to know the specific situation now."
"The investors of Honeycomb Labs did not receive the goods on time and suspected that the laboratory had been attacked by competitors, so they entrusted us to check the situation."
"That's it?"
"That's all I know." David finished the explanation with a smile. It was a pity that as a temporary guest guide, he seemed unable to get rewards from Alice: "After all, we are just adventurers hired temporarily. As for the
Other situations can only be known after entering the hive."
