[Chapter 440 Heading to the Hive]
“Luke Hobbs, you can call me Luke.” Hobbs looked at David curiously. In fact, when he was chatting with the man, he noticed the people next to him.
Based on his rich adventure experience, these people are all adventurers with good strength. The commission he accepted this time requires teammates, and these people are good choices.
“David, Laura and Steve.” David introduced his companions to Hobbs, shook hands with Hobbs, and then looked at the man next to him.
At this time, the man remembered that he had been talking to Hobbs for a long time, but he didn’t even introduce his name: “Look at me, it’s so rude, my name is Kane.”
Kane looked at David and the others. Although he didn’t know David and the other young adventurers, he was still very enthusiastic and invited them to a good tavern to eat and talk.
As the employer who issued the task, Kane was very generous. He specially chose a more upscale restaurant and ordered a table of sumptuous food.
While entertaining Hobbs and David, he also told some details of the commissioned task.
According to Kane, he invested in building a laboratory in Raccoon Town because Raccoon Town has a suitable environment. The city is quite developed in pharmaceuticals, magic, and institutions, and there are a large number of related practitioners in the town.
In comparison, there are not so many professionals in the Kingdom of Arendelle. If he builds a laboratory here, he can’t even recruit staff. In addition
, these special potions are said to be sold to the royal family of Arendelle. It is said that the heir to the kingdom, Elsa, has suffered from a strange disease since childhood and has to rely on special potions for treatment.
Hobbs is not interested in these situations. He just wants to know what troubles he might encounter in this mission? He can recruit suitable helpers based on the information provided by the employer.
While eating, he did not forget to talk to David to find out the general situation of these new teammates, especially what professions they are?
“Warrior, hunter, chant… priest.”
David’s introduction was very concise. He wanted to continue to pretend to be a bard, but Laura secretly stabbed him and had to change his words to priest.
Hearing that David was a priest, Hobbs was very happy.
Previously, through the sheriff Shane David, he knew that although there were many priests willing to move around the continent, very few were willing to be adventurers.
Priests appear in various places for self-cultivation, tempering, or spreading faith. Even if they occasionally participate in adventures, they are mostly temporary participants. When things are over, they will go back to do their own things.
David in front of him does not look like this kind of priest. He is a little doubtful whether David is a real priest?
Although he is doubtful in his heart, Hobbes did not rush to question David’s ability. Anyway, there is still some time before departure, and he can find a few more teammates.
Anyway, according to Kane’s description, this mission should encounter a lot of troubles, and it is safer to find a few more people.
After asking some more details, he figured out that his mission is not only to find out if there is a problem in the laboratory? He is also responsible for bringing the arcane mechanism core inside the laboratory back to Arendelle.
Hobbes realized that in addition to finding a few reliable teammates, he also had to find a special mechanism master.
“I will help you contact the mechanism master, and I will prepare horses for you.”
“This is the best, saving me a lot of trouble.” Hobbes put the last bite of meat into his mouth. The full table of food, most of which went into his stomach alone.
From this amazing appetite, it can be seen that he is definitely not an ordinary person.
“I’m going to recruit teammates. David, Laura, Steve, see you at dinner.”
“Good luck!”
David knew from Hobbs’ words that the other party did not want him and others to go with him to recruit teammates. Hobbs should be to ensure his dominance in the team.
After explaining the details, Kane left a part of the deposit and booked rooms for several people in this hotel. He made an appointment with Hobbs to see each other tomorrow and left.
In a blink of an eye, only David, Laura and Steve were left at the table.
“Although this person is not on the list, he should be a candidate.” Laura looked at the list in David’s hand. There was no name of Luke Hobbs on it. This should be one of the candidates that other guides were responsible for.
“Steve can see such an obvious thing.”
Steve quietly poured himself a glass of wine, as if he didn’t hear anything, sipping the fermented grape juice in his hand.
“This should be the plot of Resident Evil, right?” Laura looked at the smooth plates on the table and had no interest in ordering anything extra: “Isn’t this a good opportunity to meet Alice?”
“I think so!” David had been holding a leg of lamb in his hand. When he found that it was cold, he released the sacred fire to heat it up a little, then took a big bite: “Maybe this Hobbes was deliberately led here to create a direct conflict between the candidates?”
Compared to Alice, David was more concerned about another thing.
According to the current situation, he, Laura and Steve are equivalent to replacing the team of mercenaries in the original plot.
Considering his identity as a priest, wouldn’t he become the medical soldier of the team?
This identity is not very auspicious!
I wonder if this hive laboratory has a laser channel? If there are a bunch of strange people on the train leading to the underground laboratory, can I earn some bonus points and side plots?
When David’s thoughts were getting more and more outrageous, Steve suddenly put down his wine glass and looked in the direction of the castle through the open window next to him.
“What’s wrong?”
“I seem to hear the call of the elemental spirit.”
Steve was originally just a soldier. After sleeping for seventy years, many things were unclear.
Because of David and Winter City, he embarked on a completely different path and became the Supreme Sorcerer.
Steve, who opened the Time Stone, knew a lot of things: how will this thing develop? How many changes will this development lead to, and so on.
Although the future of his world has become fragmented because of David’s existence, it still brought him a lot of “help”.
But all this has become a thing of the past after he stepped down as the Sorcerer Supreme. Steve’s own magic level is far from enough to peek into the timeline at will. In addition, he is usually busy and has no time to increase his “knowledge”, so now he can’t think of the “plot” first.
“Before, I was too busy and didn’t have time. Now that you have free time, you should also supplement some necessary knowledge, right?” David knew what Steve said when he heard what he said, but Steve didn’t expect that it was obviously because he didn’t watch enough movies: “It’s not difficult to get these resources in your world.”
“…” Steve smiled awkwardly. He really needed to make up for it.
Listening to David’s introduction to the setting and plot of Elsa and the Kingdom of Arendelle, Steve’s face became a little strange: “Sounds like a fairy tale?”
“Mickey Mouse’s animation.”
“I see…”
Then Steve asked about the plot of Resident Evil again. David thought it was troublesome to talk about it, so he went back to the room and played the movie version of Resident Evil again with holographic images.
After watching the first part, it was still early for dinner and Hobbs hadn’t come back yet, so they started playing the second and third parts directly…
At dinner, Hobbs came back with two newly recruited teammates.
They introduced each other’s names and occupations. Even if they knew each other, David carefully looked at the two wanderers named Jack and the warrior named John, and determined that they didn’t match anyone in his memory. He estimated that the two were pure background characters and not candidates. However, the
mechanical engineer Kaplan brought by Kane the next day surprised David a little: Isn’t this the computer expert in the original movie?
In this case, this man named Kane, who has the same appearance as the villain supervisor in the second part of Resident Evil, is he a guide?
A Sakhan? Or a direct subordinate of the Sakhan in this continent?
After thinking for a few seconds, David was too lazy to waste energy on this aspect. What he had to do now was to snatch the “chance and luck”. The number of Sakhan on the Yanela Road was not a very important matter.
Riding on the top horses that Kane prepared for everyone, after preparing dry food, dried meat, and clean water, the group galloped straight to Raccoon Town.
The leader, Luke Hobbs, had a huge body, so he rode a tall warhorse with a special bloodline. This tall and strong warhorse could still run fast even if it was carrying a super strong man of nearly two meters, as well as a large number of weapons and supplies, and easily left the other horses behind.
If Hobbs hadn’t controlled the speed of the warhorse, perhaps he could have reached Raccoon Town faster by himself.
Even so, the temporary team of seven people arrived at their destination before the evening of the next day: the outskirts of Raccoon Town.
“According to the information Kane gave us, the entrance to the laboratory codenamed Beehive is in the manor not far ahead.” After Hobbes and the others tied up their horses, they made the final deployment before the action: “I just used the magic props Kane gave me to send a signal, but there was no response in the manor. It can be basically concluded that something went wrong in the laboratory.”
The next few people will enter the laboratory and take out the potions and mechanism cores that Kane wants – if they are still there, there is a high probability that a battle will break out with one or even several unknown forces during this process.
“Let’s confirm one last time, no one will quit, right?” Seeing that no one was going to quit, Hobbes nodded: “Let’s go!”
While speaking, he took out his sledgehammer and double-edged battle axe, and walked towards the dark manor with weapons in both hands.
The next second, arrows rained down!
John, Jack, dead!
