He slowly got up, leaned against the metal wall of the train car, and quietly watched everyone load items onto the train, and watched Rain jump down from the car floor to connect wires and fix the power.
Within a few minutes, Rain had fixed the power and returned to the car.
Kaplan closed the floor door of the train car and started the train, heading towards the Hive.
As soon as the train started, Rain noticed the tightly shut metal door at the rear of the train.
She walked over and pulled hard, but couldn't open it.
She turned around, seeing the gazes of everyone, and felt a little embarrassed.
Then, she put on a cool expression, looked at Matt, Alice, and Su Mu, and retorted, "Is there a problem?"
Jedi, who usually bantered with Rain, timely diffused the awkwardness for her and asked, "What's with that door?"
"It's sealed," Rain pouted.
"I'll do it."
Rain raised her hand, indicating to go ahead, a look of anticipation on her face.
She had just used all her strength and couldn't open it; this door was most likely sealed shut, and the other person definitely wouldn't be able to open it either.
However, the next second...
Jedi suddenly exerted force, and with a crisp "clang," the train's back door was pulled open.
Spence, who was unconscious behind the door, fell into his arms without warning.
He panicked, placed Spence on the ground, pulled out his pistol, and aimed.
Rain looked at Jedi's appearance, a mocking smile on her lips, and teased, "Scared?"
Watching this scene, Su Mu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart pounded wildly.
At this moment...
The back door of the train car was already open, and the box containing the t-virus and the antiviral serum was in the net bag outside.
This was something he absolutely had to get.
His brain raced, thinking about how to get the items without drawing attention.
When he saw Danilova squatting down to examine Spence, and everyone's attention was drawn, Su Mu knew his chance had come.
He slowly got up, pretending to casually stroll towards the back door.
As he approached the doorway, his sixth sense told him that several gazes were on him.
He feigned calmness, looked left and right, pretending to check if there was anything unusual behind the door.
When he saw the black backpack in the net bag on his right side, a hardly concealable look of joy appeared on his face.
He quickly extended his arms, feigning a stretch, and touched the backpack with his right hand.
The next second, the black backpack vanished into thin air, absorbed into his system's storage space.
Almost simultaneously, the system's prompt sounded in his ear:
"Ding!"
"Newbie Mission 1, completed."
Su Mu took a few deep breaths, suppressing the joy in his heart, and returned to the train car expressionlessly, sitting down next to Alice.
Those who were watching Su Mu, seeing that he had only glanced around and stretched a bit with no abnormal movements, withdrew their gazes and refocused their attention on the now-awake Spence.
The faint, unique scent of Alice lingered around Su Mu's nose, but his mind was entirely focused on how to complete the last newbie mission.
Next, he had to kill ten zombies.
Bare-handed, it was certainly impossible.
He needed a weapon.
And the weapons were all in the hands of the task force members; to get them, he either had to loot them or ask for them.
After much thought, he decided that "asking" was the best method.
Because he didn't want Danilova, James, and the others to die in the laser corridor.
As an ordinary person, before completing the zombie-killing mission, the more task force members there were, the safer he would be.
Of course, if he couldn't get them by asking, looting wasn't out of the question, especially since he now had the antidote; as long as he wasn't devoured by a horde of zombies, getting bitten wasn't a big deal.
Inside the train car...
Danilova finished examining Spence and, finding that he, like Alice and Su Mu, had lost his memory, didn't ask any more questions.
The others also dropped their guard against Spence.
They knew Spence; he, like Alice, was a security guard at the villa entrance... The rapidly moving train soon stopped at the entrance of the Hive.
Task Force Leader James gestured, and Jedi, Rain, and the others immediately raised their guns to lead the way, with the rest following closely behind.
Little did they know, their every move had already been locked onto by the Red Queen through the cameras.
"Person not found?"
On the cold electronic screen, next to Su Mu's facial recognition result, a line of glaring red text appeared.
"????"
A series of question marks flashed in the Red Queen's core program; the super artificial intelligence that controlled the entire Hive experienced a rare momentary freeze in its processing core.
It had just accessed the entire internal database of the Umbrella Corporation, and even searched global databases online; all data for Alice, Matt, Spence... everyone else was clearly traceable.
Only Su Mu, no information could be found.
It even checked global satellite imagery from the past three months, comparing every East Asian face frame by frame, yet not a single frame of Su Mu's figure was ever captured.
Su Mu, this person, seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
The Red Queen experienced an emotion similar to human "confusion" for the first time.
At the Hive entrance...
Su Mu quietly watched Alice forcefully question James and the others about their origins and what had happened.
After the Hive door was opened by Rain, he was like a transparent person, silent and quietly following.
Even knowing that taking the stairs to the flooded laboratory floor wouldn't work and they'd have to detour, he didn't speak up.
As in the plot, Jedi and Rain were left in the B-building's restaurant, guarding the suspect, Matt.
Su Mu, however, followed Alice and James and the others to the place where the Red Queen was to be shut down.
Upon arriving at the door of the laser corridor, everyone watched Kaplan sit at the computer, typing on the keyboard to crack the door lock.
A moment later...
With a "click," the door of the laser corridor slowly opened, revealing the dark, narrow laser corridor within.
James raised his gun and was the first to step inside.
Seeing this, Su Mu couldn't help but praise in his heart, "As expected of the captain, he's leading the way himself, not letting his team members risk it."
The lights of the laser corridor suddenly came on, and the dazzling light startled James.
Kaplan explained through his earpiece, "It's automatic lighting, it's fine!"
James then breathed a sigh of relief and placed the decoder on the last door leading to the Red Queen's server room.
As Kaplan executed the cracking program on the computer, within a few minutes, the heavy metal door emitted a soft "hum" and slowly opened.
James stepped back two paces and called out to his teammates through his earpiece to come in.
"Wait!"
Su Mu suddenly spoke out, stopping several people who were about to step into the laser corridor with large backpacks.
And he shouted to James inside the corridor, "Run to the Red Queen's server room quickly! This isn't automatic lighting, it's the laser corridor!"
