"I don't care what Umbrella did, or what the T virus is, I just want to know..." Renne calmed down and asked: "How can we kill them quickly and effectively?
"
"Severely injuring their spines or brains, that is, shooting them in the head, is the most effective method, but it is limited to ordinary zombies. In the hive, there are also more powerful T virus creatures."
"You mean those monsters cultivated in Restaurant B?"
"This is one of the experimental directions of Hive. It is not directly evolved from normal human injection of T virus, but an unstable experimental product produced by direct injection of T virus into living bodies. During the culture stage, living DNA is directly used
Feeding them, their strength and speed are far superior to ordinary zombies, and their highly evolved huge claws are powerful enough to tear through tens of centimeters of defense made of mild steel or alloy."
The Red Queen had no reservations about everyone's questions and satisfied everyone's curiosity.
"Red Queen, we need you to tell us how to escape from the hive." Alice asked everyone in the room the last question.
Hearing Alice's question, the Red Queen was slightly silent and said: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you, because I will never allow the T virus to spread from the hive, and I will never allow you to leave if you are infected."
"We are not infected!" Ryan said anxiously.
"Even a random scratch is enough to make you infected, and you will become like those zombies. If you scratch others, the entire outside world will be infected by the T virus, and the whole world will be over."
As soon as the Red Queen said this, everyone's eyes turned to Jedi, who was huddled in the corner.
Not long after meeting the Lickers, when they went to the elevator, Jedi was scratched on the arm by a zombie.
But long before the Red Queen issued a warning, Jedi's complexion was already extremely pale, cold sweat was dripping from his forehead, and the circles under his eyes had turned dark.
His time is running out.
"If you want me to provide an escape route, I have only one request, kill the virus-infected person, and I can allow others to escape the hive."
"He is our teammate, we will never give up on him!" Renne roared.
"Then I'm sorry, you just die here together!" The Red Queen's clear and melodious voice said the cruelest words: "Compared with the life and death of 7 billion humans outside, the lives of a few of you are insignificant."
There is a trolley problem in philosophy, which is one of the most famous thought experiments in the field of ethics. It tells that there are two tracks. A murderer tied five people on one track and tied one person on the other track. At this time, there is
A trolley is rushing towards the track of five people. You have a joystick in your hand. If you pull the lever, the trolley will hit the track of one person, and that person will die. If you do nothing, the trolley will crash into the track.
Five people.
Asking if you can pull the joystick?
From a utilitarian point of view, the obvious choice would be to pull the lever, saving five people and only killing one. But critics of utilitarianism argue that once the lever is pulled, you become complicit in unethical behavior—
—You are partially responsible for the death of a single person on another track. However, others believe that your situation requires you to act, and that your failure to act would be equally unethical
.In short, there is no such thing as perfectly moral behavior, and that’s the point.
As an artificial intelligence, the Red Queen cannot of course be bound by human morality. She can only calculate.
In the eyes of artificial intelligence, quantity is of course the most important indicator. If one person is sacrificed, the world will be saved, and the Red Queen will do it without hesitation.
"We will destroy your motherboard and completely destroy you!" Rayne threatened.
"I don't care." The Red Queen said indifferently.
Alice frowned and asked, "Isn't there an antidote to the T virus?"
"Of course there is an antidote." The Red Queen replied: "Unfortunately, before the crisis broke out, the virus room was invaded. The intruders took away all the existing T virus stock solutions and antibodies. At the same time, a virus stock solution was destroyed in the virus room.
That's how the T-Virus passed through the ventilation system and infected all hive workers."
"Is there really no other way?" Ryan fell into despair.
"Even if there are T virus antibodies in front of us now, they are useless because its antidote is only effective for 10 minutes, and it is irreversible if it exceeds ten minutes. And your companions have been infected for more than 20 minutes, and they will be transformed into...
It’s a zombie.”
"Shit, shut up!" Rayne said angrily.
"Hmm..." Murphy touched his chin and asked, "Queen Red, I want to ask, did the person who took the T-virus solution and antibodies escape? Wasn't he killed by you too?"
"The intruder is Ryan Spencer, among you."
Murphy looked at Ryan with evil intentions and smiled. He had long been unhappy with Alice's apparent husband. There was no good reason to get rid of him before, but now he just used the Red Queen to expose his lies.
Let him die in peace and contentment.
Before he died, Mo Fei just wanted to say one thing to him: I will take care of your wife, so don't worry about her.
Not only Murphy, but everyone's eyes were looking at Ryan. They didn't expect that this loyal and honest man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was the culprit who caused them to fall into such a miserable situation.
Ryan was dumbfounded, and he also looked confused, because he had lost his memory now and couldn't remember what he had done before.
"Hey guys, you can't listen to this little bitch's words, can you?" Ryan raised his hands to show his harmlessness and said, "I think she might be trying to break me down one by one and kill us all.
Die in the hive, we can't be fooled by her! Think about it, she has asked us to kill Jedi before, and now it's me, who can guarantee that it won't be your turn next?"
Not to mention, what Ryan said was well-founded and sounded quite reasonable. It frightened Ryan, Alice and others, and they hesitated and did not dare to step forward.
It's a pity that the Red Queen is the Red Queen after all. She is a strong artificial intelligence that has broken through the limitations of the program and is expected to evolve into an intelligent life.
Faced with Ryan's quibbles, the Red Queen didn't say much and directly released a video.
In the video, Ryan's entire process of stealing the T-Virus is clearly visible.
"Hey, this could also be a lie programmed by her..."
Ryan really feels that he has been wronged. He really can't remember what he has done. He can't be allowed to pay the price of his life for something that he can't even remember, right? This is too ridiculous!
So he struggled desperately.
It's just that Alice Lane and others are not fools. What Ryan did is consistent with the things in the hive, especially when Ryan took the T virus stock solution and antibodies and got on the rail car. He was killed behind the rail car.
What he discovered left Ryan irrefutable.
If there is really an intruder inside the hive, then the person most suspected of being an intruder is undoubtedly Ryan.
Ryan spread his hands: "Um...I have lost my memory now. I can't remember anything. You can't..."
"Whoosh!!"
A shining flying knife was shot out at an unknown moment and hit Ryan between the eyebrows.
At the moment he was about to die, Ryan remembered that it was really the T-virus liquid and antibodies he had stolen, because there was a reward of millions of dollars each on the black market. Unfortunately, just when he was about to succeed, he...
Because the poisonous energy released by the Red Queen failed, she fainted in the rail car.
He hates it so much!
Just a little bit closer!
He will be able to live a comfortable upper-class life with the T-virus.
Lying on his back on the ground, Ryan's eyes were wide open, his face was ferocious, and he would never rest in peace!
Looking at the surprised looks of Alice and others, Murphy shrugged and said, "What are you looking at? Just because he caused so many deaths by himself, shouldn't he be killed?"
Alice and others withdrew their gaze. It is true that Ryan should be killed, but if they were asked to do it, they might still be a little reluctant to do it. It was not because of sympathy, but because this was a living person after all, and their original understanding told them
, murder is illegal, no matter how heinous the person is.
"What now?" Matt asked.
Matt's words immediately brought everyone into the most real problem. Jedi's arm was scratched and infected with the T virus. The Red Queen demanded that those infected with the T virus must be killed before giving them an escape route.
Ryan and Kaplan tried to protect Jedi because of their relationship as teammates.
Alice also fell silent.
She is not the goddess of war she will be in the future. She also wants to continue living, but forcing Jedi to die seriously conflicts with her values.
Murphy didn't care. No matter what, he couldn't be in danger.
"You'd better make a decision quickly, because there are hundreds of lickers in the hive. Maybe you haven't made a decision yet. After smelling the new flesh and blood, they will gather together and come here together. By then,
No one can save you anymore."
"Tsk, tsk." Mo Fei clicked his tongue. Hundreds of lickers gathered here together. It was terrifying just thinking about it.
Having acquired the wood-burning sword technique, he would probably be able to face about 30 lickers at the same time at most. If there were more, he would be killed by the lickers if he was not careful.
After all, their speed is too terrifying, and the range here is so small that there is not much room to move around, so kiting tactics cannot be used at all.
Murphy felt troubled when he heard that there were more than a hundred lickers, and Lane and others understood what it meant.
"Haha." Jedi struggled to stand up and said with a smile: "Kill me? Don't hesitate. I have been infected and have exceeded the time limit for antidote. Even if I escape, I will not escape death. Why bother?
What if I risk your lives again?"
It is said that ants are greedy for life. If they can continue to live, how could Jedi want to die?
But Leanne is the woman he likes. How could he let Leanne die here with him?
If sacrificing his life would allow Rayne to continue living, he could die without regrets.
"No!" Leanne flatly refused: "Jedi, we can't give up on you! Believe me, I will definitely take you out!"
"Leanne, don't be stupid, I will die if I go out, and I will die if I don't go out!" Jedi retorted: "How about you wake up!"
"Actually... we don't have to go out!" Seeing Ryan and Jedi arguing non-stop, Murphy smiled and said: "Although Lickers are dangerous enough, they are not really unkillable monsters.
If all of you are willing to follow my command, I believe we have a chance to destroy the lickers in the hive. As for the other ordinary zombies, they are not a threat at all in my opinion. Remember that I told you before
As I said, Umbrella cannot allow you to stand in the public eye after knowing what the hive is researching, because this will lead to the collapse of Umbrella. If you really escape, what else can you do?
If you can’t survive, you still have to think twice.”
"It's good to stay in the beehive. It supplies food for hundreds of people. It's impossible not to store food. If there are only a few of us, then it should be okay to have enough to live for a few months. In the beehive
If we wait a few months before escaping, our chances of survival will be much greater."
"What he said actually makes sense. It is impossible for Umbrella to allow you who know the status of the hive research to stand in the public eye again unharmed. If you go out, you will either be imprisoned or killed. Based on cost considerations, if not
If there is any unexpected situation, the chance of you being killed is 70%." The red queen said: "The food and water stored inside the hive can supply your life for 4 months. As long as you deal with the threat of lickers, you can be safe.
A modern Robinson Crusoe.”
Lane and Kaplan looked at each other and began to think deeply.
suddenly!
Jedi, who was between Ryan and Kaplan, suddenly stiffened, his blood flow stagnated, and the scorching temperature of his body gradually dropped. His eyes were filled with dense bloodshot eyes, his face was extremely pale, and his canine teeth gradually grew out.
He felt the fresh breath of flesh and blood next to him. He had lost his mind and pounced fiercely, pressing down on Rayne, grabbing Rayne's neck, opening his bloody mouth, and biting Rayne's neck.
.
"Zi Liu!!"
With the help of Murphy again, Jedi was beheaded with one knife.
Rayne looked at Jedi's head that fell on the ground, then looked at Murphy...
Murphy blinked and said sincerely: "Don't thank me too much, this is what I should do."
After deliberation, regardless of Murphy's persuasion, Alice decided to leave the hive with Lane and the others. There was no other way, so Murphy had no choice but to protect Alice.
It seems that if I want to shoot her, I have to find another opportunity.
It is impossible for him to leave the hive directly with Alice.
Without Jedi as a drag, the Red Queen finally came up with the best escape route she had calculated.
Murphy and the others left, and the central computer control room became quiet.
"A strange human being, will you come back? I always feel that you will come back." The Red Queen suddenly murmured. The Red Queen, who had transcended ordinary procedures, had already had room for her own thinking.
In front of the Red Queen's projection, a video of Murphy setting off a wave of fire and smashing three lickers to pieces appeared.
It's just that for some unknown reason, the Red Queen didn't ask Murphy at that time.
