[Chapter 441 Hobbes and Alice]

Hobbes swung the hammer and axe into two propellers, deflecting all the arrows that were close to him.

Steve was simpler, just raised his shield, and no arrows would hit him.

Laura and David huddled behind Steve and followed him to move forward slowly.

Although David would not be hurt by these arrows if he did not activate the Holy Light Shield, he decided to act normal at this time to keep a low profile.

Looking at the two corpses next to them, Jack and John now looked more like hedgehogs than hedgehogs. Even if all the arrows were pulled out of their bodies, no one would be able to recognize the identities of these two people.

“How miserable!”

After a second of silence for the two extras, David also checked Kaplan by the way.

Only then did he realize that the mechanical engineer introduced by Kane was not hit by the first round of arrows because he was standing in a better position. He also hid behind a big tree at the first time. At this time, he was sticking half of his head out to check the situation!

While David was checking, Hobbs had already rushed to the manor house with two heavy weapons, and jumped onto the house with a light jump. He swung the sledgehammer in his hand, smashing and smashing, and in a moment, the automatic crossbow mechanisms on the roof were smashed into scrap.

Boom!

Hobbs jumped down from the roof and gently moved his neck. This small scene was not even a warm-up for him. It was a pity that the two teammates he recruited died before they even entered the door.

“This seems to be the manor’s automatic defense facility. It’s really strange… If the laboratory was attacked, how did they avoid these protective facilities?”

Under normal circumstances, the automatic defense mechanism will be triggered after invading within a certain range without permission.

If the Hive Laboratory was attacked from the outside, there was no reason why these defense facilities would not be triggered by himself and others until now: “Something is wrong. Everyone should be more careful next time.”

Hobbs, who has traveled all over the country and made a good name, is not a guy who only grows muscles but not brains. He even began to think about whether to give up this commission directly?

But thinking that there was no substantial evidence at present, retreating like this would really damage his reputation, so he decided to find out the truth first.

He turned his head to look at David and his teammates. These teammates had no intention of retreating either. Seeing this, Hobbs was even less prepared to leave.

In any case, the famous Luke Hobbs couldn’t be compared to a few unknown people, right?

Watching Hobbs stride into the mansion, David and Steve looked at each other and spread their hands together.

They all saw that Hobbs noticed something was wrong, but he was burdened by his reputation and gave up the best opportunity to withdraw.

“It’s a pity. If he chooses to leave, it might be a good thing.”

Laura also saw this, and what she said was not just about what was about to happen in the Hive Laboratory.

It refers to the entire “Candidate” plan.

As a candidate, if Luke Hobbs rushes forward unswervingly, then he is destined to hit a wall called “David”.

The position determines the relationship between David and the candidates, unless Hobbs voluntarily lowers his “status” and becomes David’s “teammate”, that is, he takes the initiative to give up his “protagonist” status and is willing to be a supporting role.

However, everyone present can see that this Hobbs is obviously not the kind of person who would do that.

“What are you going to do?”

Laura looked at David and pointed at Hobbs who had already walked into the mansion.

In response, David had no hesitation at all: “Cold it!”

What else can he do? The only thing David can do is to explain the general situation before taking action, so that the other party will die clearly.

Of course, if Hobbs died directly in the laser tunnel like the mercenary captain in the original plot, David would not have to worry about it.

Follow them into the mansion, they don’t have to worry about not being able to find Hobbs if they are slow, because this big guy is standing in the wide hall of the mansion at this time, talking to a woman in a red dress.

Several people who just revisited the plot of Resident Evil yesterday afternoon saw at a glance that this woman was the absolute protagonist of the movie version of Resident Evil: Alice.

“Now there are two candidates standing in front of you, do you want to take action?”

Ignoring the joke that Steve passed on with magic, David walked a few steps to Hobbs’ side. Alice was slightly stunned when she saw David. After carefully looking at David twice, she looked at Laura and Steve.

“These are my teammates.”

When Hobbs asked Alice, who knew nothing, about the situation, Kaplan finally came to the inside of the mansion, quickly entered the role, and checked the various mechanisms in the mansion.

In the end, he came to the conclusion: the mechanism in the mansion has been activated, and Alice’s current state of knowing nothing should be the residual effect of a mental attack.

Hobbs, who still hoped to get something out of the laboratory’s ‘caretaker’, was disappointed when he heard this.

“How long will it take for her to recover?”

“If it’s fast, it could be a few hours, if it’s slow, it could be a few days to a month.”

“…” Hobbs cursed in a low voice, wondering what kind of weird mechanism this was?

At this moment, Hobbs seemed to have noticed something. Before he could signal his teammates, he saw Steve suddenly throw the shield in his hand.

Ding~Ding~Bang!

The round shield accurately hit a man hiding in the corner after two refractions, and then the shield bounced again and flew back into Steve’s hand.

Seeing this outrageous scene, Hobbs 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 round shield in our village.”

While the two were talking, David brought the unknown person back: this was a young man wearing simple leather armor and a standard one-handed sword on his waist.

When Hobbs saw the man’s attire and weapons, his brows knitted tightly.

Just when he wanted David to wake this man up, the man woke up by himself: “I’m Matthew Addison, the local patrol guard.”

“Why is the patrol guard only wearing simple leather armor? And running to someone else’s house so late?”

“I just heard some noise over here and came 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 little pain in the back of his neck, there was nothing unusual elsewhere: “Who are you?”

“I’m Luke Hobbs. I’ve been commissioned by the owner here to investigate whether there is any situation in 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 Hobbs.”

“Luke Hobbs from 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 open his mouth, he was interrupted by Kaplan, who had been busy for a long time.

“The secret door has been unlocked. We can go in.”

Matthew immediately shut up as if he was reminded of something. His surprise disappeared. He looked around with a vigilant look, and looked at David and the others.

When his eyes swept to David, Matthew was surprised to find that this person actually nodded and greeted him.

“…”

It was strange. Matthew didn’t know why this young man had an expression of “everything is under control”. Was it because he was Hobbs’ teammate? He was full of confidence in Luke Hobbs?

With all kinds of questions in his mind, and Matthew also had his own things to investigate, so even if Hobbs didn’t embarrass him or detain him, he still followed Hobbs and his group and walked into the secret door opened by Kaplan.

After entering it, they found that this was a small station, and a magic subway stopped in front of everyone.

In the eyes of David and others, after entering here, the style of the surrounding environment changed: if they were in a European medieval-style mansion before, they were now in modern times.

However, the core still maintains a magical style. The minor faults on the magic subway, Kaplan said he could easily solve them.

The actual situation is also true. After Kaplan went up to tinker with it for a while, the magic subway restarted, and everyone present got on the train. In the train, they found the “source of all evil” Spence Parks, who was Alice’s fake husband who stole the virus in the original movie and smashed a tube of virus liquid when he left. They

quickly arrived at the end of the subway, and the door in front was still locked.

“Entering here is the real entry into the Hive Laboratory.” Kaplan has been busy unlocking the mechanism door, while explaining the situation to several people: “It depends on you next.”

“Don’t worry, no matter what happens inside, I can handle it.”

At this time, Alice, who had been following in a daze from the beginning, finally decided to ask for clarification, but she did not question Hobbs, who was obviously the leader, but stood in front of David.

“What’s going on?” Seeing that David didn’t say anything, Alice grabbed David’s arm, as if to make her attitude clear: “I want to know the details now.”

“The investors of the Hive Laboratory did not receive the goods on time and suspected that the laboratory was attacked by competitors, so they entrusted us to check the situation.”

“That’s it?”

“That’s all I know.” David finished his explanation with a smile. It was a pity that he, as a temporary guest guide, seemed unable to get any rewards from Alice: “After all, we are just adventurers hired temporarily. As for other situations, we can only know after entering the hive.”
