Age of Empires From Scratch

Hobbs swung the hammer and the big ax into two propellers, and bounced all the arrows close to him to the side.

Steve is simpler, just lift the shield up, and no half of the arrows will hit him.

Laura and David huddled behind Steve, and slowly moved forward with Steve.

Although David didn't turn on the Holy Light Shield, these arrows wouldn't hurt him, but at this time, in order to keep a low profile, he decided to behave normally.

Looking at the two corpses next to them, Jack and John are now more hedgehog-like than hedgehogs. Even if all the arrows are pulled out from their bodies, it is impossible for anyone to recognize their identities.

It's miserable!

There was a second of silence in his heart for the two actors, and David also checked that Kaplan by the way.

Only then did I discover that the mechanism engineer introduced by Kane was not hit by the first round of arrow rain because he was standing in a better position, and hid behind the big tree for the first time. He was poking half his head out to check the situation Woolen cloth!

Just as David was checking, Hobbs had rushed to the manor house with two heavy weapons in hand, jumped onto the house with a light leap, swung the sledgehammer in his hand, and smashed it with a thud. With just a little effort, these automatic crossbow mechanisms on the roof have been smashed into waste products.

boom!

Jumping down from the roof, Hobbs moved his neck lightly. This kind of small scene was not even a warm-up for him. It was just a pity that the two teammates he recruited died without entering the gate. up.

This seems to be the automatic defense facility of the manor. How strange... If the laboratory was attacked, how did they avoid these protective facilities?

Under normal circumstances, after intruding into a certain range without permission, the automatic defense mechanism will be triggered.

If the hive laboratory is attacked from the outside, there is no reason for these defense facilities to be triggered by himself and others until this time: Something is wrong, everyone should be more careful next.

Hobbs, who has traveled all over the world and made a good name, is not a guy with muscles but no brains. He even started to think about whether to give up this commission directly?

But thinking that there is no substantive evidence so far, it would really damage his reputation if he returned it like this, so he decided to find out what happened.

Turning his head to look at David and the others, these teammates have no intention of retreating, and Hobbs is even less prepared to leave when he sees this.

In any case, the famous Luke Hobbs can't be compared to a few unknowns, can he?

Seeing Hobbs striding into the mansion, David and Steve looked at each other and spread their hands together.

They all saw it. Hobbs sensed something was wrong, but he was tired of his reputation and gave up the best chance to quit.

It's a pity. If he chooses to leave, it may be a good thing.

Laura saw this too, and what she said was not just referring to what was about to happen in the hive laboratory.

Rather, it refers to the entire 'candidate' program.

As a candidate, Luke Hobbs is destined to hit a wall called 'David' if he rushes forward unswervingly.

The position determines the relationship between David and the candidates, unless Hobbs voluntarily lowers his 'status' and becomes David's 'teammate', that is, he voluntarily gives up his 'protagonist' status and is willing to be a supporting role.

However, several people present could see that this Hobbs was obviously not someone who would do that.

What are you going to do?

Laura looked at David and pointed at Hobbs who had already entered the mansion.

In this regard, David did not hesitate at all: Cold salad!

What else can I do? The only thing David can do is to explain the general situation clearly before making a move, so that the other party's death can be clearly explained.

Of course, if Hobbs died directly in the laser tunnel like the mercenary captain in the original plot, David would not have to worry about it.

They walked into the mansion together, and they didn't have to worry about not being able to find Hobbs if they moved too slowly, because the big man was standing in the wide hall of the mansion at this moment, talking to a woman in a long red dress.

The few people who had just revisited the plot of Resident Evil yesterday afternoon recognized at a glance that this woman was the absolute protagonist of the Resident Evil movie version: Alice.

Now there are two candidates standing in front of you, do you want to do it?

Ignoring the joke passed by Steve using tricks, David came to Hobbs in a few steps. Alice was slightly stunned when she saw David, and looked at David carefully twice before taking a look at him. Laura and Steve.

These are my teammates.

When Hobbs asked Alice who knew nothing about the situation, Kaplan finally came to the inside of the mansion, entered the character very quickly, and checked all the organs in the mansion.

Finally came to a conclusion: the mechanism in the mansion has been activated, and Alice's current state of not knowing anything should be the residual effect of being attacked by the spirit.

Hobbs, who was still hoping to find out something from the keeper of the laboratory, was disappointed when he heard the words.

How long will it take for her to recover?

A few hours if it is fast, or a few days to a month if it is slow.

... Hobbs cursed in a low voice, wondering what kind of weird mechanism this is?

At this moment, Hobbs seemed to have noticed something. Before he had time to signal his teammates, he saw Steve suddenly throw the shield in his hand.

Dang~dang~tom!

After being refracted twice, the round shield accurately hit a man hiding in the corner, and then the shield bounced again and flew back into Steve's hand.

Seeing this outrageous scene, Hobbs didn't even bother to care about the unknown person who was knocked out, and looked at Steve and the shield in his hand curiously.

What kind of shield is this?

Best buckler in our village.

While the two were talking, David brought back the unknown person: he was a young man wearing a simple leather armor with a standard one-handed sword stuck in his waist.

Hobbs frowned when he saw the man's attire and weapons.

Just when he wanted David to wake up the man, the man woke up by himself: I am the local patrol guard Matthew Addison.

Why do the patrolling guards only wear simple leather armor? And they ran into other people's houses so late?

I just heard some movement here and came to check. I'm not wearing guard armor because I'm not on duty. The man stood up and checked himself, and found that there was nothing abnormal except for a little pain in the back of the neck: Who are you?

I'm Luke Hobbs, entrusted by the owner here to investigate what happened to the laboratory he invested in.

Luke Hobbs? Matthew Addison was shocked when he heard the words: That Luke Hobbs?

I don't know which one you're referring to, but I'm Luke Hobbs.

Luke Hobbs of the Holy Capital?

it's me!

Wow!

Matthew, whose face was suddenly full of joy, opened his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Kaplan who was busy for a long time.

The secret door has been unlocked, we can go in.

As if being reminded of something, Matthew immediately shut his mouth, and the look of surprise disappeared. Instead, he looked around with vigilant eyes, and looked at David and others.

When he caught sight of David, Matthew was surprised to find that this man actually nodded his head in greeting.

...

It's very strange, Matthew doesn't know why, this young man has an expression of everything is under control, is it because he is Hobbs' teammate? Confident in Luke Hobbs?

With all kinds of doubts in his heart, and Matthew also had something to investigate, even if Hobbs didn't embarrass him or detain him, he followed Hobbs and his group into the mechanism opened by Kaplan Secret door.

After walking into it, I found that it was a small station, and a magic subway stopped in front of everyone.

In the eyes of David and the others, after entering here, the painting style of the surrounding environment has changed: if we were still in a European medieval mansion before, we are now in modern times.

However, the core still maintains a magical wind, and there are some faults on the magic subway, and the mechanics Kaplan said that he can easily solve them.

The actual situation is also the same. After Kaplan went up to tinker with it a few times, the magic subway restarted, and everyone got on the train, and found Spence Parks, the root of all evil, in the car, which is the original movie. Alice's fake husband who stole the virus from the inside and smashed a tube of the virus stock solution when he left.

After taking the subway, we arrived at the end very quickly, but the front door was still locked.

Entering here is the real entry into the hive laboratory. Kaplan has been busy unlocking the trap door while explaining the situation to several people: The next step is up to you.

Don't worry, no matter what happens inside, I can handle it.

At this time, Alice, who had been walking along in a daze since just now, finally decided to ask for clarification, but instead of questioning Hobbs, who was obviously the leader, she stood in front of David.

What's going on? Seeing that David didn't speak, Alice grabbed David's arm directly, as if to express her attitude: I need to know the specific situation now.

The investors of Hive Labs didn't receive the goods on time and suspected that the lab was attacked by a competitor, so they entrusted us to check the situation.

that's all?

That's all I know. David finished the explanation with a smile, regretting that he, the temporary guest guide, couldn't get rewards from Alice: After all, we are just temporarily hired adventurers. As for Other situations can only be known after entering the hive.
