☆, Elevator, for live explosion
After calming herself down on the iron frame, Ye Xi pondered what she should do next.
The plot has already begun, and unfortunately, she transmigrated exactly five minutes before it started. This means she's already infected with the T-virus, which means that soon she'll turn into a humanoid monster that bites anyone she sees, and then she'll be encountered by Alice and her group, and then shot in the head...
"I don't want this, I don't want to die!" Ye Xi felt increasingly terrified, and her legs, standing on the metal frame, began to tremble. She quickly grabbed the ladder beside her to avoid falling. If she fell and instead of completely smashing her head, she would become crippled, meaning she would be slower as a zombie and have a much higher chance of being shot in the head!
Even after becoming a zombie, Ye Xi still wanted to "live." As a human being, her obsession was truly profound.
No, staying here isn't a solution. We need to get out and find the antibodies quickly. That box should be near the exit train... Ye Xi tried to recall the plot, then carefully walked along the narrow iron railing, barely wide enough for one foot, slowly moving towards the two iron doors of the elevator. Reaching the edge, Ye Xi checked the distance, took a deep breath, silently prayed for protection, and then jumped, landing precisely at the 20cm-wide edge connecting the iron doors to the elevator car, her body pressed tightly against the two bloodstained iron doors.
After jumping, Ye Xi lost her footing and fell slightly backward. There was nothing behind her; if she fell, she would only be able to wait to become a zombie. Her heart tightened, and she immediately spread her arms and grabbed the two sides of the door tightly to stabilize herself.
Ye Xi's heart was still racing. Luckily, she had done a lot of these dangerous stunts at the extreme sports camp, otherwise... Ye Xi shuddered as she imagined her face covered in blood clots and her ashen skin after turning into a zombie.
Perhaps due to an overproduction of adrenaline, Ye Xi felt her hands trembling and covered in cold sweat, and then… she needed to pee… Damn it! What's wrong with me! Needing to pee in such a critical moment! Ye Xi cursed herself fiercely. Was it really just because of fear and nervousness? Ye Xi, was it really that serious?!
However, this physical urge grew stronger and stronger. Ye Xi gritted her teeth, steadied herself, and then released her grip on both sides of the iron gate, beginning to pull it open with all her might. Perhaps because part of the black woman's head was still stuck inside, there was a small gap in the iron gate, which Ye Xi could easily slip her hand through. After the exertion and her own fear, Ye Xi had exhausted most of her strength, but she still didn't give up, pulling on the iron gate with all her might.
"We can't delay any longer. Once the T-virus spreads throughout my body, what use will those half-finished antibodies be!" Thinking this, and drawing strength from who-knows-where, Ye Xi shouted. The iron door slammed shut, and then a loud "thud" made Ye Xi's heart skip a beat—no…could it be the sound of that woman's head hitting the ground…?
The iron gate proved Ye Xi's guess right. With the woman's head no longer blocking it, the gate immediately opened, and Ye Xi felt even greater resistance. The tiny gap she had managed to open closed again. Ye Xi gritted her teeth and pulled hard on the gate, but her lack of strength was no match for the mechanical power of the iron gate. The gap gradually narrowed, and Ye Xi's hands slowly came together…
The crack is gone, and so is hope. I don't have the strength to pull the door a second time... Ye Xi thought almost desperately, am I really going to die here? All because of this damn door!
No!! "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)" she exclaimed. She was panting heavily, with two deep red marks on her hands. She felt as if her arms were dislocated and she had no feeling at all.
"Such explosive power." A sweet but mechanical voice suddenly rang out, startling Ye Xi, who jerked her eyes open to see the face of a Black woman. Her wide brown eyes were bloodshot, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, and her expression was extremely ferocious and terrifying...
Ye Xi was so frightened that she forgot to scream. She immediately backed away, but forgot that the elevator door behind her was open and there was nothing inside, so falling down meant certain death... Just as she closed her eyes and prepared to wait for the moment of being smashed to pieces, she unexpectedly crashed into a metal plate. She looked back and saw that it was the door she had just opened!
Ye Xi wasn't stupid. If she still didn't realize who had just spoken and who had saved her, then she had wasted her time watching Resident Evil.
"The Red Queen?"
"Hello, Miss Ye Xi." The sweet voice was as innocent as a child's, yet also had a childlike cruelty. "I'm glad you're still alive. I thought you fell down with that elevator."
Ye Xi swayed as she got up, looked around, and finally saw a control screen at the office door, on which appeared a little loli wearing a red dress.
"You're looking for me?" Ye Xi placed her hands on the screen. "Ha, you almost killed me just now, why are you looking for me again?"
“It’s our duty, Ye Xi. Everyone here is infected, and the disease is out of control. We have no choice but to lock down.” Her sweet voice was devoid of any emotion. “But Ye Xi, perhaps you can do it.”
"Sorry, I think you've got it wrong. I don't have the habit of wearing my underwear on the outside, or wearing a red spider bodysuit, or wearing a set of high-tech steel weapons to save the world. I'm just an ordinary person. If I could control the T-virus, I wouldn't be standing here; I would be climbing to the top and standing next to Uncle Wei!!" Ye Xi became more and more agitated as she spoke, almost punching the screen.
"I have your information." The Red Queen's voice remained flat and emotionless, showing no concern whatsoever for Ye Xi, who was filled with fear and panic.
"Your technical skill level is Grade A, but your security level is only Grade F, which is the lowest level. So you shouldn't have been able to come into contact with the T-virus. Ye Xi, how did you learn about the T-virus?"
Ye Xi was speechless for a moment. In her excitement and impetuosity, she had said some things she shouldn't have. If the Red Queen had already passed this information to the top management of Umbrella Corporation, then she would be instantly killed by the Red Queen before the T-virus even spread throughout her body.
“But since you understand the T-virus, you should know its dangers. I will take you to the lab, and you must develop a new antibody within 30 minutes, or you can only wait to die.”
…Ye Xi was silent for a moment, then said, “What if I don’t agree?” Yes, Ye Xi really didn’t want to go to a lab to prepare new antibodies. Antibodies, even the original semi-finished products, required several months or even half a year of research. Now, asking her to prepare a finished antibody in just 30 minutes was simply a pipe dream! Moreover, this “Ye Xi” was not the same “Ye Xi.” Even though she inherited her memories, Ye Xi, as a liberal arts student, had never touched any chemical instruments, let alone prepared a reagent. Without practice, how could there be any results? Rather than preparing an antibody that was impossible to prepare, Ye Xi would rather save any time to find that box of semi-finished antibodies; the chances of survival might be a little higher.
“You have no choice. Knowing things above your security level is a bad thing for you. If you are informed by higher-ups, you will never be able to leave. And if you refuse, I will immediately release poison gas to eliminate you.”
Ye Xi wasn't knocked out earlier because the toxic gas couldn't penetrate the elevator, but now there's no enclosed space for her to hide. The Red Queen's words left Ye Xi with absolutely no way out; it was a blatant threat! Ye Xi gritted her teeth and frowned: "How could you think I could create it? I've never been involved in any research related to the T-virus."
"Because you have great potential for explosive growth." The Red Queen paused, her youthful voice filled with seriousness. "Just like when you opened the elevator door by yourself, this kind of explosive potential is very important to humanity. It could have saved your life in a critical moment. Because of your strong will to survive, you have unleashed your potential. Combined with your powerful technological capabilities, your chances of developing a new antibody are over 37.6%."
Potential? Ye Xi recalled the moment she opened the door and indeed felt a surge of power coursing through her body. It was like a mother washing clothes on the balcony seeing her child playing in the room about to fall out the window, and then, with incredible speed, rushing to the child's side in 0.4 seconds to save him. The mother's powerful maternal love had unleashed her untapped potential, while Ye Xi's strong will to survive had awakened her own potential, enabling her to open the door.
Less than one-tenth of the human brain is actually used, while the remaining nine-tenths remain unexplored. If the full potential of the brain could be unlocked, the power that humans could unleash would be unimaginable. However, the probability of such unlocking is less than 0.000000000001%. Ye Xi's ability to unlock even a tiny fraction of her potential is incredibly lucky.
"...I'll try, but I need to go to the bathroom first; I've been holding it in for ages..."
"...You have one minute."
Guided by the Red Queen, Ye Xi arrived at the laboratory, which had been sealed off and isolated into a series of individual rooms. She glanced at one of the laboratories filled with a yellowish-green liquid and couldn't help but shudder—the "corpse" of a long-haired woman in white was floating inside.
"Here." The Red Queen led Ye Xi to the main laboratory. Ye Xi pushed open the door and saw a large pile of potions inside that she couldn't name before, but was extremely familiar with because she had inherited "Ye Xi's" memories. She sighed, thinking that if her biology and chemistry had been as good as they were now, she wouldn't have chosen the humanities, which required memorizing so much...
Ye Xi took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the lab table. Listening to the Red Queen's original antibody production plan, her mind began to work uncontrollably, scrutinizing every detail. The plan itself wasn't flawed, but something felt off; it seemed some reagents had been used incorrectly, or perhaps a catalyst was missing…
What exactly is wrong? Ye Xi rubbed her temples. She didn't understand any of this professional knowledge, but it kept popping into her mind. Whether it was changing the steps, changing the catalyst, or changing the heating time, none of them were as good as the current semi-finished product. It seemed that she couldn't find a second way to make it.
Fifteen minutes had passed, but Ye Xi still had no clue. This was clearly asking too much! Ye Xi, who was already somewhat impatient, became even more anxious. Why am I wasting time here? In fifteen more minutes, I'll be completely doomed! Ye Xi could feel her breathing becoming more and more rapid and difficult, her body growing colder and colder, her blood feeling like it was about to freeze. This feeling of "being dead" was truly unbearable.
Fuck! Ye Xi felt something wriggling inside her body—the T-virus was about to spread throughout her entire body! "No... I can't do it! I can't do it at all!!" Feeling the changes in her body, Ye Xi screamed in terror, then rushed to the laboratory door and pulled hard on it, but the door was locked and wouldn't budge.
"I told you, you'll never be able to leave until we develop a new antibody." The Red Queen's sweet voice haunted Ye Xi like a nightmare, making her feel increasingly dizzy and her body go limp...
Damn it! Anesthetic? Or poison?
