Chapter 120: I Believe
“I believe that.” Alice stared into Occam’s eyes for a long time before she spoke.
“Huh! Do you really believe it?”
Occam froze. He had not expected Alice to believe him.
After all, he felt that the truth was nonsensical. How could anyone believe him?
“Do you really believe what he said?” Matt looked at Alice and wondered.
Occam’s reason was too crazy. It did not sound reliable!
Even a three-year-old child would not believe such a reason.
How could a student accidentally enter a research institute that was so heavily guarded that even their organization could not enter?
Who was he kidding?!
“If he’s lying, there’s no way he would find a reason that had lots of loopholes,” Alice looked Occam in the eye and spoke flatly.
As a female agent, she had basic professionalism. She could not tell from Occam’s gaze that he was lying.
What Occam had been doing all along was reminding everyone of the danger.
However, no one believed him.
Even if Occam was really lying, did it matter?
As long as he was not a threat to them and could still help them, even if he lied, was it important?
Who did not lie in their lives?
How could they be agents if they did not lie?
Here, there was only one goal: to survive.
As for Occam’s identity, it was not important.
“Alright! I believe you too,” Matt hesitated before he spoke too.
He had just revealed his identity as a fake policeman. What right did he have to talk about others?
Occam had done nothing to harm them.
He even reminded them many times to save them.
In that case, no matter how ridiculous this reason was, what was there to lose by believing it?
After figuring everything out, Matt was willing to believe Occam for once.
“Oh?!”
Occam had not expected them to believe him. Now that they unexpectedly believed him, he did not know what to say.
“Since you know so much, do you know how to leave this place?” Alice changed the subject and asked.
“I don’t know,” Occam said bluntly.
Alice and Matt looked disappointed.
It seemed that this Occam did not know everything. They were probably going to die here.
“But…”
Occam thought for a moment.
“But what?”
The two of them, who were originally unable to get out, were completely disappointed. Hearing Occam’s words, they immediately gained hope.
They looked at Occam expectantly.
Humans were like that. The more desperate they were, the more they would not let go of any hope.
Just like a drowning person, even if they knew that there was a straw floating above their heads, they would still desperately reach out to grab it.
This was the survival instinct of humans.
“As the main system of the entire hive, the Red Queen controls all the tunnels in the base. If she can seal all the exits, she will definitely know where the exit is.”
Occam recalled the plot. He vaguely remembered that the Red Queen knew of a maintenance tunnel that led away from the hive.
However, he did not know the exact location.
He could only restart the Red Queen and ask her.
“Then what are we waiting for?”
Alice looked at Occam, the hope of life rekindling in her eyes.
Since they had no way out and the computer knew the way out, was there a need to think?
Of course, they went to restart the computer.
Alice grabbed a folding chair and looked at Occam.
In the control room…
“Bang bang bang!”
There was a lot of banging behind the metal door.
Clearly, the outside was filled with zombies.
“Whatever they are, they’re too many.”
“What is it? They’re wearing the clothes here. They’re obviously the staff here.”
“The staff are all dead.”
“That doesn’t stop them from wandering around.”
“Where are they from? Why don’t I see them enter?”
“While you cut the power, you also cut the door lock. Like Occam said, we were the ones who let them out.”
After Rayne, Spence, and Chad had separated from Occam, Jedi had also died, leaving the three of them lucky enough to hide here.
Listening to the endless zombie knocking outside, the three of them began to argue and analyze.
Chad was dumbfounded. He had no idea why piles of zombies were popping up crazily when they came in without a hitch.
Where did these zombies come from?
Still, Rayne remembered what Occam had said when Captain James left, deducing that it was Chad who had turned off the zombies the Red Queen had released.
This time, the few of them were completely silent.
It turned out that it was not that someone wanted to kill them, but that they themselves did not listen to Occam and conned themselves.
This was a form of mockery.
However, when they found Occam, he was fine. They subconsciously thought that since Occam was fine, the others should be fine too.
Who knew that Occam’s words would come true?
Those employees really became human-eating zombies.
Now, Chad really had the urge to slap himself.
Why did they not listen to Occam and leave?
If they had left from the beginning, they would not have fallen into such a desperate situation.
They were doomed to die here.
“Roar roar roar!”
“Bang bang bang!!”
In the control room, just as everyone was in despair, the knocking on the door stopped.
Instead, it was the sound of various weapons striking.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Then, the strange thing was that the doorknob began to turn.
“Grumble! Have these zombies started to learn how to open the door?”
Chad felt his skin crawl as he watched the closed metal doorknob turn away.
This unconscious zombie was already hard to deal with. Now, they were facing a group of zombies who could open the door.
This was great. They were doomed.
“Damn it.”
Rayne wanted to use the rifle but she realized that there was not a single bullet left. She was so angry that she threw the rifle away and drew her pistol.
“Close the door.”
Seeing that the door was about to open, Spence lunged for the door, hoping to stop the zombie from opening it.
Crack!
However, before he could reach the door, it opened.
Rayne raised her pistol and pointed it directly at the door, ready to blow the first zombie who came in.
“Don’t shoot, don’t shoot! We’re on the same side!”
The first person to rush in was Alice. As soon as she rushed through the door, she bumped into the muzzle of Rayne’s gun. She raised her hand hurriedly.
She had thought there was no one here. She had not expected Rayne and the others to be here.
“Close the door. They’re behind you.”
Then, Occam and Matt followed.
The moment the two of them entered the computer room, they closed the door without hesitation.
“Boom!”
Under their combined efforts, the zombie outside the door was pushed back and the door closed.
“Sigh~”
Only when the door closed did everyone heave a breath of relief, almost falling limp.
“Spence?! You bastard, I finally found you.”
From Occam, Matt learned that his sister was killed by Spence. Now that he was here, the hatred of killing his sister was irreconcilable!
With that, Matt raised the tattered lamp in his hand and smashed it at Spence.
