The Man Standing at the Top of the Food Chain

"Although we have found a good entry point, how do we find Alice? After all, we don't even know which hospital she is in?" After the van drove for a while, Lu Xiaotian asked a very critical question.

That's right, after all, Raccoon City is not a small village, but a metropolis in the United States. Even if the hospitals in the whole city don't have three digits, it's probably not much different. Tang Cheng and the six want to be able to do so in only one morning. Finding the hospital where Alice is located is almost indistinguishable from finding a needle in a haystack.

As for that hospital, it was not specifically mentioned in the movie... To take a step back, even if it did appear in the movie, normal people would probably not remember some of the details in such an old movie, let alone their The six people are all from the Celestial Dynasty, and they are also blind to the terrain of Raccoon City.

"No, there are actually some clues." Tang Cheng shook his head and said solemnly, "Although many people would instinctively regard that place as a hospital from the footage in the movie, in fact it is owned by the Umbrella Company." A research institute, and from the outside environment, it looks more like a government building."

"That's all?" Zhang Yi couldn't help asking when Tang Cheng didn't continue talking.

"Isn't that enough?" Tang Cheng shrugged and asked back, "For this kind of thing that is still in the guessing stage, there is not much need for accurate information, and none of us said that we must find Alice. We can find Alice." Of course that’s a good thing, but even if we can’t find it, it’s no loss for us, right?”

Although that is what you said, you must have been a little too lax... Zhang Yi wanted to refute in his heart, but after thinking about it, he finally didn't say it.

Tang Cheng still had that indifferent expression, and said with a smile: "So, I don't want to think too much about this kind of thing that depends on luck. Instead of paying attention to such insignificant things, it's better to find something more meaningful. things to do..."

Having said that, Tang Cheng turned his gaze to Tang Ya who was sitting opposite, and asked, "Sister, what's your number?"

"Is this something meaningful?" Lu Xiaotian was dumbfounded.

Tang Cheng ignored him.

Tang Ya rolled her eyes at Tang Cheng, "Can you stop calling me girl like that?" In her opinion, it would be impolite to address a girl in such a slight tone.

Tang Cheng nodded indifferently, "Okay, sister."

"You...forget it." Tang Ya was angry, but after thinking about it in her heart, since she knew that this man's thinking was very different from normal people, why should she be as knowledgeable as him, and immediately swallowed what she wanted to say Go back, but say, "My number is 10086, what's the problem?"

Tang Cheng's eyes lit up immediately, "Oh, mobile girl, are you a mobile person? Front desk or customer service?"

"Is it necessary for your brain to be so big?" Tang Ya said angrily, "I've said it from the beginning, I'm a college student who is taking the postgraduate entrance examination, and I'm not working part-time. What does it have to do with mobile!"

"Since your number is 10086, you have had an indistinct relationship with China Mobile." Tang Cheng made a fuss, and then asked Su Xiaoqing, "Sister, what is your number?"

"Me? Uh..."

Although the two girls in the team are quite good-looking, their personalities are obviously different.Tang Ya looks more generous and witty, and she is a person with a little adaptability. If she can have an eight-pack belly on her chest, she will be a proper woman.Su Xiaoqing, on the other hand, appears weaker, a standard soft girl.

At this moment when Tang Cheng asked, Su Xiaoqing leaned closer to Tang Ya, and then timidly replied: "I... I am number 10000."

"Telecom girl!" Tang Cheng sized up Su Xiaoqing as if he had discovered a new continent.

"I'm an intern editor of a magazine, not a telecom..."

"Don't pay attention to him." Before Su Xiaoqing could finish speaking, Tang Ya took a picture of her words, then glared at Tang Cheng and asked, "What's the point of asking these? Is it related to our mission?" ?”

"No." Tang Cheng said with a calm face, "I'm just curious, and I'm idle anyway, so why not pass the time."

"Huh?" Now it was Tang Ya's turn to be dumbfounded, just because of this?

That's right, the reason why Tang Cheng asked everyone for their numbers was that simple.He is a person, sometimes a word he said casually as a joke will often become the core of a certain event, but when he speaks at length, it is often meaningless nonsense.Let’s say he is very wise and stupid, he should not be so advanced, let’s say he is pretending to be crazy, he doesn’t look like it, in short, it is difficult to have a clear definition of him, which is why so far, few people can see him clearly one.

And of course he would not let Zhang Yi go.

Zhang Yi is undoubtedly an honest person, he will answer whatever people ask, "My serial number is 9998."

"Hmph, profiteer!" Tang Cheng immediately cast a disdainful look, "No one else wants 998, 698, or even 398 to sell things. You actually want 9998. You must be a profiteer in the future!"

Zhang Yi burst into tears immediately, he is just a student, what does he have to do with profiteers?

"That's enough!" Tang Ya finally couldn't bear it anymore, this guy is definitely playing with people, he must be!

With a big brain like Tang Cheng, he obviously wouldn't care about the eyes of a mere mobile girl, he reached out and patted the driver's seat, and said, "Old Li, where's yours?"

Although Li Guodong was driving seriously, he didn't care about the words behind him at all. He knew that Tang Cheng would definitely ask him, so he was already ready, "9783."

My number is so ordinary, you can't figure out anything... Li Guodong thought secretly, in his opinion, no matter how big Tang Cheng's brain is, he will definitely not be able to make a fuss about such an ordinary number of.

Unexpectedly, just as he was thinking so in his heart, Tang Cheng's disdainful voice came from behind him, "Cut, it turns out to be a heretic!"

"Huh?" Li Guodong was puzzled, and instinctively turned around, "Why did I become a heretic?"

"Huh!" Tang Cheng snorted coldly, and said confidently, "The five of our numbers each have their own advantages, with profound meanings and rich connotations, just like a wonderful book, but your number is so ordinary. , if the five of us are Jingmao dogs, then you are a husky, what do you mean you are not a heretic? A heretic like you will be hanged on the stake and burned to death today next year, hum! "

It's fine if you compare yourself to a dog, why are you dragged into the water with us?

Hearing Tang Cheng's words, Tang Ya and the others cursed crazy in their hearts.

As for Li Guodong, who was scolded as a dog and burned to death, he didn't seem to be angry, he just sighed: "Obviously in such a dangerous world, no one can control their own destiny, and they may die anytime, anywhere. You are still in the mood to joke... To be honest, I admire Brother Tang for your calmness."

Hearing what Li Guodong said, everyone looked at Tang Cheng immediately, and Su Xiaoqing asked cautiously: "Brother Tang, are you really not afraid at all?"

"Don't call me big brother, I may not be as old as you." Tang Cheng first corrected a sentence, and then asked, "What's so scary?"

"Because this is the world of biohazard." Su Xiaoqing said naturally, "The whole city is full of zombies, and soon there will be nuclear bombs dropped, as long as our mission fails, we will die, such a terrible thing ..."

"So, what's so scary about it?" Tang Cheng shrugged and said calmly, "It's just death."

"Uh!"

Tang Cheng said it calmly, but Tang Ya and the other five were shocked when they heard it.It's just death... Is there really anyone in this world who is not afraid of death?Impossible, fear is the instinct of human beings, and it is also the instinct of all creatures. As long as it is a living thing, it is inevitable for any creature.

But Tang Cheng, it doesn't look like he's pretending.

Whether a person is pretending to be unafraid or really unafraid is actually very easy to distinguish... tone of voice, eyes, movements, expressions, and even atmosphere.

At least Tang Ya is quite good at this, because she has studied psychology for a while.

It is said that fear is contagious, which is true, just like courage is contagious.In fact, there is an invisible wavelength between people. It cannot be seen or heard, and can only be connected by feeling. When someone receives the wavelength of fear transmitted by others, he himself will become fearful. , and when receiving the wavelength of courage, the heart will be filled with courage.

To give a very simple example, when walking on a night road at night, one person is probably afraid, but as long as there are many people, no matter how dark the night road is, it is precisely because the wavelength of courage between people is being transmitted to each other.However, suddenly one person's heart is full of fear and starts to be suspicious. Then, as this wave of fear spreads out, gradually, everyone will be infected with fear.

But at this moment, Tang Ya couldn't feel Tang Cheng's fear at all. Similarly, she couldn't feel the courage that should exist in Tang Cheng's heart to suppress fear.

This is a man without fear and without courage.

It seems contradictory, but it is actually inevitable, because fear and courage are inseparable. Fear can only grow without courage, and only fear can inspire courage.But when a person has no emotion of fear, it means that no matter what he faces, he can deal with it with a normal heart, without the blessing of courage, and naturally there is no need for unnecessary things to exist.

But... do such people really exist?

Or to be more precise, a person who has neither fear nor courage, can he still be considered a human being?

Thinking of this, Tang Ya shuddered inexplicably.

Compared to the full-fledged zombies, compared to the nuclear bomb pressing on her head, compared to the 24-hour death time limit, suddenly, she was more afraid of the man sitting in front of her!
