I Have A Super USB Drive

Chapter 203: Entrance

Chapter 203: Entrance

Just like the procedure before, Chen Chen first sent a Black Knight in a protective suit into the tunnel.

However, before the Black Knight entered, Chen Chen suddenly halted. “Hold on!”

Then, he retrieved a live BE-006 virus strain for the Black Knight and said, “Alright, if there’s any danger on the other side, immediately return to the tunnel. Otherwise, continue scouting around for an hour before returning. Do you understand?”

The Black Knight mechanically nodded and immediately crossed over the tunnel into an endless dark void.

Watching the Black Knight leave, Chen Chen did not let his guard down at all. It was because the tunnel was connected to the first movie of the Resident Evil series. According to the USB drive’s logic, the tunnel should reach directly to the Hive on the other end.

However, Chen Chen was unsure at which timeline was the tunnel reaching. As a result, he stationed several dozens of armed Black Knight guarding at the entrance of the tunnel.

If any zombies and Lickers came charging from the other end of the tunnel, they would be greeted by hails of bullets.

To prevent the bullet from damaging the negative pressure isolation walls, Chen Chen had also installed some wooden barriers behind the computer.

Fortunately, it seemed like there were no dangers on the other end. More than ten minutes had passed and the Black Knight had yet to return.

Of course, if the Black Knight had still not returned after an hour, it would indicate that there was a problem on the other hand and Chen Chen had to be cautious.

In the opening scene of the first movie, a spy had released the T-virus in the Hive. Following the detection of the virus by the supercomputer Red Queen, it attempted to stop the spread by shutting the Hive down and killing more than 500 researchers through poison gas.

The headquarters then sensed that something was off and proceeded to send a special task force to shut the Red Queen Down and so began the entire story plot...

However, later in Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, the Hive was upgraded into a cryogenic institute to store the bodies of the company’s executives. The T-virus, which was supposedly invented by the wheelchair-bound scientist, Dr. Charles Ashford, was revised to be invented by James Marcus instead in the last chapter.

Furthermore, the Red Queen’s image was also inconsistent. In the second movie, the Red Queen was said to be modeled after Dr. Ashford’s daughter, Angela. Whereas in the final chapter, it was said that the Red Queen was shaped after Marcus’ daughter, Alicia, in her childhood.

The plot seemed to contradict itself. Even the supposed accident that caused the leakage of T-virus was later revised to be a deliberate plot by the Umbrella Corporation to eradicate humanity.

When Chen Chen was chasing the series, he was clueless toward the end.

Another half an hour had passed. Suddenly, a bright glow appeared in the room while Chen Chen quickly rushed to the source. Indeed, the Black Knight had returned to the real world.

Immediately after the Black Knight’s return, the researchers immediately followed a series of protocols to ensure the protective suit was not contaminated by special microorganisms. They had also checked the live strain of BE-006 virus and found that the virus strain was still alive.

“Looks like once the USB drive formed the tunnel, organic life can now pass through it!”

Chen Chen was visibly overjoyed.

He had once sent the Black Knight into the world of Chronicle, but found that the number of microorganisms attached to the Black Knight’s protective suit had severely diminished. Chen Chen thought that the tunnel could not ferry any organic life over, which included microorganisms.

Yet, the trial this time indicated that it seemed like this rule had been broken.

Could it be that the tunnel had always allowed organic life to travel, but it was just that these microorganisms were killed previously?

Perhaps it was a setting to protect newbies. Could it be that it killed those microorganisms to protect the USB drive’s new user from infection?

Chen Chen considered many factors.

However, it was not the right time to answer those questions. Chen Chen retrieved the records of the Black Knight and began to observe what it was like in the other world.

The result excited Chen Chen.

Indeed, the tunnel did lead to the Hive’s experiment labs. Chen Chen could even see corpses covering the floor, some of those even belong to the Lickers.

However, the bodies had already long decomposed into bones.

It looked like the timeline the tunnel connected to was long after the events in Resident Evil 1.

Other than that, electricity supplies to the Hive had long been cut off. Therefore, there were no alarms triggered upon the arrival of his Black Knight.

Chen Chen had long known the source of the Hive’s electricity. It was nuclear-powered and it was likely that it was only in hibernation mode.

The Black Knight did not discover the cryogenic room that was featured in the last installation of the movie. The Hive that the Black Knight roamed was the ordinary experimental lab that was featured in the first movie. It was nothing like the grand military base that was featured in the final chapter.

Could it mean that the first and final installation of the Resident Evil movie series was two fundamentally different worldviews?

Chen Chen thought silently. He shut the tunnel down and downloaded a copy of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter into his USB drive.

“Dong!”

An error box popped out on the screen. Chen Chen realized that he could not fit the movie into his USB drive.

If that was the case, Chen Chen decided to not bother any further. Based on the recordings from the Black Knight, he prepared a welding gun, gunpowder, a calculator, and a hard disk.

“Sir Godfather, there were no foreign viruses and microorganisms found on the Black Knight’s protective suit,” Little X reported.

“That’s great. It looks like the event has passed for so long, even the T-viruses are completely dead. Please make the necessary preparation for me to enter the tunnel.”

Chen Chen instructed.

“Are you actually going in there?”

Little X was shocked and said, “It’s a dangerous move.”

“It’s okay, I have confidence in myself. Can you also make a simplified copy of your own? I’ll need it to breach into the Hive.”

“Understood!”

Following Chen Chen’s order, Little X copied a simplified version of itself into the hard disk. Meanwhile, the Black Knights had also prepared the welding gun, some gunpowders, and other necessary equipment.

Then, Chen Chen stood up and took one of the automatic rifles from the Black Knights.

He had also placed a graphene box into the pockets of his protective suit.

Once all preparations were made, Chen Chen took a deep breath. It would be his first time leaving reality for an alternate dimension.

He inspected the USB Drive and found that after 30 days of charging, the USB had enough power to store 1200 kilograms of materials. With this amount of energy as his backup, Chen Chen did not need to worry about any issues on exiting the tunnel.

However, to conserve energy, Chen Chen had decided to bring only two Black Knights with him. If there were no other needs, the Black Knights would not be required to return.

It was possible that this world could be Chen Chen’s interdimensional base.

With the spark of thought and the gesture of a hand, two fully-armed Black Knights immediately marched along with Chen Chen into the black hole.

Chen Chen felt his entire vision blacked out as he sunk into the dark void, followed by a gradual sense of suffocation.

Like falling into an endless abyss, Chen Chen even sensed that the force of gravity had completely vanished.

However, the loss of gravity only sustained for a brief moment. Before Chen Chen could even fully react to his situation, his feet had once again landed on a piece of land.

Two flashes of lights came shining on him, Chen Chen immediately switched on his head gear’s light and saw the Black Knights were already guiding on his side.

Around him, Chen Chen observed that he was in a cold, dark metal room.

It was the Hive.
