Geralt of Rivia: The White Wolf

Chapter 6 Eavesdropping, Eavesdropping

When he said the last sentence, "the main god will annihilate," Zhang Jie's expression was exceptionally serious and earnest, clearly not joking at all.

The word "annihilation" made Geralt frown slightly, and he asked:

"What kind of 'erasure' are you referring to?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jie smiled cruelly and said:

"You might see him soon."

These words cast a shadow of death over everyone, and their faces grew increasingly grim.

At that moment, the train carriage suddenly came to a stop.

Meanwhile, the group of soldiers Geralt had been looking at—the same mercenary squad Matthew had hired in Resident Evil—glanced at Geralt and the others, but didn't greet them. Instead, they got off the train first.

"Let's go, and remember what I said."

After Zhang Jie finished speaking, he led the way out, looking completely at ease.

Geralt twitched his nose slightly, but didn't smell anything unusual outside the carriage, so he followed Zhang Jie out.

Zhan Lan looked at Zheng Zha and said:

"Let's hurry and catch up!"

After saying that, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan followed Geralt out of the carriage.

Seeing this, chubby Zhu Peng quickly followed, walking alongside Zheng Zha, and said sincerely:

"Brother, thank you for helping me out of that situation earlier."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha naturally replied:

"It's alright, your name is Zhu Peng, right?"

The chubby boy Zhu Peng immediately responded:

"Yes, brother."

Upon hearing the address of "elder brother," Zheng Zha smiled amicably and said:

"You don't need to be so polite, just call me Zheng Zha. Actually, no one meant any harm. It wasn't just me; the beautiful lady next to me and the white-haired gentleman in front of me also helped you out of that situation."

At this point, Zheng Zha glanced at Zhu Peng's expression, paused for a moment, and continued:

"From now on, we're all on the same team, and we'll need to help each other overcome the challenges ahead."

Zhu Peng nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Zheng Zha, I understand. I was too sensitive before, always assuming malice in others, so much so that I subconsciously attacked them with words before I even understood what they were really saying."

At this moment, Zhan Lan, who had been silent until now, whispered to Zhu Peng:

"You really need to change the way you talk. Luckily, no one really took it to heart. Everyone has a different temper, so don't blame Zhang Jie. After all, this isn't the real world anymore, and there's no law to protect you."

"Furthermore, Zhang Jie has already starred in several horror movies and faced countless life-or-death crises. The mental pressure he must be under is immense, so your provocative words..."

Zhan Lan didn't finish her sentence, but Zhu Peng understood what she meant. He glanced at Zhang Jie's back and whispered a reply:

"I understand. It's all my own fault. I don't blame Brother Zhang Jie. I'm just too sensitive and easily hurt."

Geralt, who appeared to be not turning his head, actually heard the hushed conversation of Zheng Zha and the others behind him perfectly.

After all, the senses of witchers are enhanced, far exceeding those of ordinary people, let alone Geralt, who has undergone two mutations, whose senses are even more extraordinary.

Zhang Jie, who was walking at the front, had clearly heard Zheng Zha and the others' conversation, and his initial thought had dissipated.

After a frank and open conversation, the relationship between Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and Zhu Peng has become much closer.

Meanwhile, Geralt and his group, following Matthew's mercenary squad, crossed the platform, went down a flight of steps, and stopped in front of a large steel gate.

At this moment, Matthew gave the order:

"Kaplan, Ryan, open the door quickly, the rest of you on guard."

After clearing up the misunderstanding, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and Zhu Peng no longer felt the initial awkwardness between them and began discussing the plot of the Resident Evil movie.

The three of them huddled together and began whispering among themselves.

Zheng Zha first glanced discreetly at Matthew and his mercenary squad at the front, then whispered:

"We're going down into the hive soon. Do you guys remember the movie plot?"

"It's a movie from a few years ago. I only remember some of the general plot, and I can't remember some of the details very clearly."

Zhu Peng also responded in a low voice:

"I don't remember very clearly either. If you ask me about the biohazard mode in CrossFire, I will definitely remember it clearly. I only watched Resident Evil once, so I can't recall the complete plot."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan chuckled softly and said:

"I still remember the general plot; I've watched it several times."

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha and Zhu Peng exchanged a glance, their faces lighting up with joy. Zhu Peng quickly asked Zhan Lan:

"Look ahead, I remember there was a spy who stole the T-virus, do you remember which one it was?"

"Is it the one with handcuffs, or the one next to Alice in the black jacket?"

"We need to be careful of this guy. Alice and this guy probably haven't regained their memories yet. What if he does regain his memories and then suddenly tricks us in the hive?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha immediately replied, "It shouldn't be the one in handcuffs. I remember his name is Matt, and he sneaked in here to find his sister."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Peng suddenly realized, "Now that you mention it, I do recall that character. The spy must be the man in the black jacket."

"The Hive is no joke. These incompetent teammates who could betray us at any time must be eliminated in advance. Let me tell you, it's just like playing a game. It's not the enemy that's scary, it's having incompetent teammates in your team."

While Zheng Zha and Zhu Peng were talking, Zhan Lan looked at the front of the line, her gaze naturally sweeping over Alice and the man in the black jacket next to her. Her eyes lingered on the man's hands and Alice's hands for a few more seconds.

"Zheng Zha is right, the target is indeed the man in the black jacket, and he and Alice are wearing the same wedding ring."

After Zhan Lan finished speaking, Zheng Zha added:

"And that Matt who was handcuffed was captured and transformed into a vengeful goddess in the second movie."

At this moment, Zhu Peng's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had remembered something, and he immediately asked in a low voice:

"Do you guys remember that box of T-virus and antidote that the spy stole?!"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan exchanged a glance, and then all three of them looked in the direction of the train behind them.

For a moment, Zheng Zha and Zhu Peng were somewhat tempted, but after quickly weighing the pros and cons, Zhan Lan calmly rejected the idea:

"No, our identities are currently unknown, so we cannot act rashly."

Zhu Peng was still somewhat unwilling and said, "If we can get the briefcase, we won't have to worry about getting infected when we go down there."

Geralt had been eavesdropping on the three's conversation, and he was secretly noting down the details of the spy and the briefcase.
