Geralt of Rivia: The White Wolf

Chapter 16 Obedient

Upon hearing this, Matthew fell silent, and the other mercenaries also seemed to understand something.

Seeing that Matthew and his teammates were clearly listening to what he was saying, Zhan Lan couldn't help but glance at Geralt with relief, thinking to himself, "Sure enough, when fists are stronger than people, no one will listen to you properly."

"Weakness is not a sin, but the weak have no voice!"

Geralt glanced at the other seemingly stable containers and then urged Matthew, who was deep in thought, to hurry up:

"Make a choice quickly, this is not a place to stay!"

Kaplan's eyes were also filled with anxiety as he called out again, "Captain!"

At this moment, Matthew also put aside his initial arrogance and began to truly think about his own survival.

"The team continues forward, remain on alert!"

After saying that, Matthew looked at Geralt and asked, "Can we have our guns back?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Peng, Li Xiaoyi, Zheng Zha, and even Zhan Lan all looked at Geralt nervously, awaiting his decision.

Having a gun, especially in an environment like the Hive, provides a level of security that is incomparable to not having one at all.

Now, feeling the realness of the guns in their hands, Zheng Zha and the others finally felt a genuine sense of security.

Before this, being suddenly thrown into the horror movie Resident Evil by the main god, and having to face zombies and Lickers, such terrifying and disgusting monsters, was actually quite frightening for the group.

However, their subconscious told Zheng Zha and the others that fear was acceptable, but they couldn't let themselves lose their composure; they had to forcefully suppress their fear with reason.

Therefore, even though it's their first time handling a gun, and even if they can't aim accurately, Zheng Zha and the others are unwilling to hand over the weapons they've already acquired.

Geralt didn't hesitate, shaking his head and saying, "No!"

"However," Geralt changed the subject, "the extra firearms can be given to you for use later, depending on the situation."

Matthew seemed to have a chance to argue, saying, "But they're clearly not even as good as new recruits. If we encounter another monster like that, the weapons will be most effective if they're in our hands."

"No!"

Geralt's cold, deep voice answered Matthew.

"OK!"

Seeing that Geralt was not going to listen to reason, Matthew gave up on asking for the gun and called his squad members to walk forward toward the Flame Queen's control room.

Seeing this, Zheng Zha and the others quickly followed Matthew, since the God's 100-meter limit had not yet disappeared.

Geralt lagged slightly behind, examining the black watch on his wrist, a watch given to him by the main god. Geralt had always suspected that this broken watch was some kind of bomb.

Because back on the train, Geralt discovered he couldn't untie it.

Geralt believes that the so-called erasure was carried out through this watch.

However, Geralt was checking his watch to see what the main god had mentioned about the side quests and reward points he had acquired.

Geralt raised his head thoughtfully and glanced at Zhang Jie's back in front of him, while Zhang Jie's eyes also showed a hint of indescribable complexity.

How so?

Zhang Jie seemed to have his back to everyone, yet he could clearly see what was behind him, and it appeared he was constantly watching Geralt's every move.

"In the side quest, Zhang Jie didn't mention this item. I don't know if he didn't obtain it either, or if he forgot to mention it."

"So it seems that, currently, we know that side quests can be obtained by saving main characters."

Whether there are other ways to obtain it is currently unknown, but we should be able to verify that soon!

Geralt sorted out his thoughts, glanced at Matthew and the others who were not far from him, and decided against discussing this side story with Zhan Lan and the others.

According to Zhang Jie, he, Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, and the others are destined to experience one horror movie after another together, and there is no escaping this situation unless he is willing to spend 1000 reward points.

Therefore, after Geralt made a preliminary judgment about the character of Janran and others based on his own experience and intuition, he did not hide this information from his teammates.

Before this, Geralt had spent most of his years as a Witcher alone, supporting himself like a lone wolf, but that doesn't mean he didn't understand the importance of teamwork.

"We've arrived. This is the server room."

Kaplan looked at the computer on his arm and began to speak.

At this moment, Matthew glanced helplessly at Geralt and the others, then said to Kaplan:

"Time is limited. Open this door quickly. We must retrieve the Flame Queen's motherboard and return to the surface before the passage closes."

Kaplan sat down in front of three computers in the server room, his fingers immediately flying across the keyboard, code flying everywhere on the screen: "Right away, Captain!"

At this moment, Alice, somewhat puzzled, pressed Matthew for an answer:

"What do you mean the passage is closed, and what do you mean by limited time?"

Upon hearing this, Matthew glanced subconsciously at Zheng Zha and the others who were armed to the teeth, and sighed, saying:

"We must complete the mission and return to the ground within 3 hours. Once the time limit is exceeded, the passage from the train to the ground will be permanently closed, and we will never be able to get out again."

Upon hearing this, Matt immediately became agitated, stepped forward, pointed his gun at Matthew, and angrily shouted:

"Fuck, Umbrella Corporation is utterly reckless with human life! So many people down there are all dead in an instant, and there are so many monsters in Restaurant B!"

"Is the company really completely unaware?"

At this point, Matt glanced mockingly at Matthew and the other mercenaries, saying, "You're all just a bunch of pathetic, abandoned wretches!"

"After all, the company didn't tell you there were monsters down there!"

Matthew pressed his hands down, watching Matt's submachine gun warily, and reassured him, "Hey, brother, I don't know why you're so agitated, but we're just carrying out the company's orders. We have no idea what's going on down there."

At this moment, the mercenary Ryan cursed, "No wonder there's such a strange mission! An investigation mission with a time limit—they're probably afraid the monsters will escape!"

At this moment, Geralt spoke up: "Calm down, now is not the time for infighting!"

Matt looked at Matthew and the others, hesitated, then silently moved the gun away and walked to the side to watch Kaplan's movements.

At this moment, Spencer, whose hands were cuffed, asked, "How much time do we have left?"

Matthew glanced at him, then looked at his tactical watch and said, "One hour left!"

Upon hearing this, Spencer's expression changed, and he turned to Kaplan with an anxious look, urging him on:

"How much longer will it take you to open that damn door?"
