Chapter 372 Second Holiday Trip
"Boss, let me make it clear again, my superpower is not bad luck but good luck. People who know me have called me lucky star!
"You are not allowed to call me the star of disaster anymore, or I will sue you for defamation! You are defaming me! You are defaming me!"
Carter really didn't lie. Everyone really called Carter Lucky Star, because Lucky Star was her agent code name in S.H.I.E.L.D., and it was the shameless name Carter gave herself.
Hammer looked disgusted, "Don't call me boss, call me Mr. Hammer."
"Okay, Boss Hammer." Carter agreed.
Just as he was about to correct him, Hammer saw Carter approaching his desk. He was so frightened that he waved his hands repeatedly.
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here! Just right there! Just stay there! Don't come near me!"
Ever since Tony Stark revealed his identity as Iron Man not long ago, Hammer was so angry that his chest was about to explode. So he has been looking for people with super powers recently, wanting to study their super powers, and then create a group of super apes that are far superior to Iron Man and trample Tony Stark under his feet.
And Carter, at Gwen's suggestion, delivered himself to the door and lied that he was a powerful super-powered person.
And her superpower is that she is lucky.
Is luck a superpower? Is Carter really a superpower?
Hammer didn't believe it at first, and later he became even more unfortunate, so he had no choice but to believe Carter's lies and confirmed that Carter did have super powers.
But...how should we study and utilize the superpower of misfortune?
Creating a group of doom gorillas? It's really scary to think about it!
Facing Hammer's disdain, Carter was very dissatisfied and clenched his fists angrily:
"I'm really lucky. Look at how many crises I've helped you through since I came to Umbrella!
Just like, just like the last time the smart monkeys rioted, I happened to close the door of the laboratory. "
“But those gorillas were released from their cages because you randomly pressed buttons, and you also locked up the researchers inside. They were badly troubled,” Supervisor Jack complained weakly.
"There was also that time when a fire broke out in the laboratory on the fifth underground floor. The fire spread very quickly and you were helpless. You could only watch as the experimental equipment and test materials were burned to ashes.
It was me! It was my inspiration that brought water and put out the fire."
When this was mentioned, even Hammer's face turned a little dark.
"You burst the toilet's sewer pipe, and the sewage flooded the 3rd, 4th, and 5th floors of the underground research base. Now I feel that the whole hive is filled with the stench of feces. In addition, the water flow has also damaged more experimental equipment and data."
"That's not important!" Carter waved his hands, raised his neck with a proud look on his face.
"At least I was lucky enough to save that zombie ape. By the way, what's its name?"
"Its name is Stephen. Because you suddenly closed the gate the day before yesterday, it was cut in half from the middle and is now dead." Director Jack sighed and said in despair:
"Besides, it is also the last intelligent zombie ape in our experimental group."
"Huh? The last one? How is that possible? Where is Adam?" Carter asked in surprise.
Manager Jack's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly:
"That time, the sewage from the sewer flooded the entire experimental base, especially the research area where the intelligent zombie apes were located, which was completely submerged..."
"What, Adam was drowned?" Carter asked in shock.
Supervisor Jack shook his head. "Adam has suffered from depression since then. The whole zombie was listless. One fine morning, it committed suicide."
Carter sighed, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, and just said:
"Poor Adam! I hope he won't be locked up in sewage in heaven anymore. May God bless him."
The veins on Jack's forehead jumped. He pointed at Carter and said to Hammer angrily:
"Anyway, I never want to see this person in my lab again, and it would be even better if I don't see her in the entire hive. She's a jinx!
From now on, my lab will be either her or me!"
After saying these harsh words, Jack turned around and walked away angrily, leaving Hammer and Carter staring at each other, which made Hammer feel a little numb.
Trying his best to maintain his gentlemanly manner and aristocratic temperament, Hammer suppressed the urge to turn around and run, gave Carter a stiff smile and asked:
"Ms. Carter, what do you think or want?"
"Actually, Boss Hammer...leaving the lab is no big deal. If I don't want to participate, then I don't want to participate. I'm not curious about those smart zombie apes at all..."
"Call me Mr. Hammer. So Ms. Carter, which floor are you going to and which department are you going to join?"
Hearing this question, Carter's eyes lit up and he shared happily: "Actually, I can cook, and I'm pretty good at it. Do you want me to go to the cafeteria on the first floor and cook a big meal for you?"
Hammer's eyes widened, and he vaguely saw that the water used in the entire cafeteria had been replaced with sewage.
Hammer politely declined, "Any other better intentions, Ms. Carter?"
"Then I want to go to the sixth floor! Clean the rooms there."
Carter, who has never been to the sixth floor, has always been curious about it. She knows that is where Umbrella's deepest secrets are hidden.
"Hahahahahaha..." Hammer covered his stomach and laughed, then pointed at Carter and said:
"Congratulations, Ms. Carter, you will be a member of the Hive Chef team from now on. I wish you a happy life in the future."
Carter curled his lips and said, if he doesn't want to go, then don't go. There will be a chance sooner or later.
Jingle bell…jingle bell…
The communicator on Hammer's desk suddenly rang, causing Hammer to blink in confusion.
He didn't care that Carter was in his office and answered the communicator directly.
"Boss, this is bad!" A panicked female voice came from the phone. It was Hammer's secretary.
Hammer had an ominous premonition in his heart and frowned:
"What happened? Don't worry, speak slowly."
After panting for a few times, the female secretary said anxiously:
"Oh no! Manager Jack accidentally fell into the elevator shaft just now and is now dead..."
"What did you say!" Hammer widened his eyes, then turned his head sharply and looked at Carter, who was standing not far away with an innocent look, in disbelief.
Director Jack's last words echoed in his ears.
"Either she or I, or I or she!"
Not long after that, his words came true and Manager Jack was really gone.
This is not just a jinx, it's a disaster!
Hammer took a deep breath and buried his body in the office chair with all his strength, almost falling to the ground with the chair.
At this moment, Hammer no longer cared about being a gentleman and pointed at the door of his office and said:
"Congratulations, Miss Carter. Not only have you been given a job at the first floor restaurant, but you've also been promoted. From now on, you'll be the supervisor of the entire restaurant. Come back to your job quickly. Your hardworking employees are waiting for you!"
"Really? Boss Hammer, thank you so much."
Although she didn't know what exactly happened, Carter's face was full of excitement. She walked quickly forward, held Hammer's hands with both hands, and moved them up and down, giving Hammer no chance to react, and then ran out.
Staying where he was, Hammer's hand, which had been shaken by Carter, was trembling. He sat stiffly in the boss's chair, not daring to move.
My heart feels cold to the core.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over..."
Hammer, with a pale face, jumped up from the boss chair as if escaping.
"I want to get out of here as soon as possible! Immediately! Right now! Right now!"
creak-
With a crisp sound, Hammer, who had just stood up, fell down stiffly with a painful and hideous expression.
"I have a cramp, I sprained it, ah - it hurts -"
……
This was the second holiday trip, and everyone arrived in Raccoon City again by plane.
Walking on the familiar yet unfamiliar streets again.
Raccoon City in the twilight looked like it was covered with a layer of gold foil. The brand new asphalt road was as smooth as if it had just been unpacked. Victorian villas were lined on both sides of the road, and the carved iron fences were even more terrifyingly neat.
However, there are not many people living in this city, and weeds are overgrown in front of the villas. Only when you walk to the most prosperous area of the city can you see pagans wearing robes of various colors.
After the devil appeared in the world, Raccoon Town became a holy place for these pagans.
Their prayer ceremony can be seen and heard in a small square not far away. People in strange robes are chanting scriptures and calling for the arrival of the devil.
The sound of prayer music rang out in the extremely strange atmosphere. It was music that was somewhat familiar to everyone in Charlotte.
"Chicken you..."
The devil cultists jumped into action, stripped off their robes to reveal their overalls, and started dancing the most authentic Tieshankao.
For a moment, the whole square was filled with demons dancing wildly and immortals lined up like hemp. No one knew whether Satan could sense their summoning ritual and what kind of devil he would summon in the end.
