Chapter 11

Hearing Meng Yi's utterly outrageous answer, Luo Ji, who was tired as a dog, took on the role of the straight man.

"Brother Bai, at a time like this, could you please stop messing around? I'm begging you, okay?"

The underground hive had been completely covered by the mental domain.

"What do you mean by 'causing trouble'? I don't want to hear that; please retract that immediately."

Meng Yi, sitting on the back of a Licker, refuted Luo Ji's slander and flicked his fingers, directly manipulating the existing high-level personnel of the underground hive to awaken.

Wage earner: Albert Wesker.

Board member: Dr. Isaacs.

And the daughter of one of the three founders, James Marcus, the original body of the clone protagonist Alice: Alicia Marcus.

……

The Red Queen quickly consulted the information database.

"Denied! No such person as 'Dr. Bai' exists!"

"Umbrella Corporation does not have a 'General Council,' nor does it have a position of 'Chairman'."

The Red Queen's projected pretty face turned cold; with a wave of her small hand, the giant turbine fans at the end of the corridor turned on.

"According to Security Protocol 16513, please leave the hive, or I will use all means to expel you!"

Meng Yi remained unmoved, while Luo Ji acted as if facing a formidable enemy.

Firefly, who was ruthless and spoke little, decisively blocked the path in front of Meng Yi. The glowing cracks on her body shone even brighter, and her power level rapidly surged from the "weak girl with A-rank strength and speed" to the category of a "monster" capable of violent building demolition.

The situation was tense to the extreme.

*Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap—*

A burst of hurried footsteps sounded, traveling from the end of the corridor to the two sides in a standoff.

"Red Queen! How bold! Stop being presumptuous!"

"What are you doing! Shut down the security system at once!"

Dr. Isaacs from *Resident Evil: The Final Chapter* ran over at a speed exceeding human limits and sternly reprimanded her.

"A mere artificial idiot, how dare you be rude to Chairman Bai of the General Council? It seems you need to be formatted and restarted!"

The Red Queen tilted her head, her AI logical thinking clashing violently.

You dog! Do you want to listen to what kind of bullshit you are saying?

"But..."

"But what but! There are no buts!"

Albert Wesker, pushing Alicia Marcus in her wheelchair, followed closely behind.

Due to "progeria," Alicia, who was only in her twenties, looked decrepit, like an old woman on the verge of death.

Alicia raised her hand weakly.

"Change the highest authority of Umbrella Corporation; the highest authority holder is now changed to: Dr. Bai."

!!!

Boss, Dr. Isaacs has gone crazy, why have you followed him into madness too?!

The Red Queen instinctively sensed something was wrong, but authority crushed the AI.

"Ms. Marcus, do you confirm the change of authority?"

"Confirmed."

"Secondary verification system activated; do you wish to hand over the highest authority of Umbrella Corporation to 'Dr. Bai'?"

"Confirmed!"

"Tertiary verification system activated; do you wish to..."

Before the Red Queen could finish, the decrepit Alicia interrupted impatiently.

"I said, confirmed!!"

"Hmph! Dr. Isaacs is right; you artificial idiot really need to be repaired. You don't even recognize the Chairman of the General Council! This is simply outrageous!"

Red Queen: "..."

The AI is screwed! Why is everyone in Umbrella an undercover agent?

Can't carry, simply can't carry!

Screw the General Council, screw the Chairman, screw Dr. Bai; she has never recorded any such information!

The authority handover was completed, and the tense atmosphere dissipated.

A bizarre scene; not only was Luo Ji dumbfounded, but Firefly, who had activated her life-burning state, was also completely bewildered.

This is absurd; is your "psionic power" really this unreasonable?

Directly leaping to become the ultimate big boss of an evil villain organization?

It's true that the "Evolution Paradise" allows for a "change of mindset," but your change is a bit too thorough, isn't it? What kind of outrageous illegal industry were you in before you entered the Paradise?

The dumbfounded Luo Ji and Firefly looked at Meng Yi, who was riding a Licker and surrounded by a legion of zombies.

*Cough!* Not to mention, the style actually matches quite well...

More than enough to serve as a big evil villain; it's a perfect performance!

"Move! Everyone move!"

Dr. Isaacs and Albert Wesker, two virus adapters, kicked and punched the idle zombie legion, forcibly clearing a path to pay respects to the "Chairman."

The two villains lowered their heads and shouted in unison: "Greetings, Chairman Bai. It has been over a decade, and you are as elegant as ever."

"Your subordinates have failed you, letting you see such a pathetic Umbrella Corporation; please punish us!"

After speaking, Wesker and Isaacs knelt on one knee, their piety index breaking through the sky.

Alicia Marcus, in her wheelchair, placed her right hand on her chest and smiled kindly, "Uncle Bai, long time no see."

"I often heard your stories from my father when I was a child; I grew up listening to your stories."

"I greatly admire you for working with my father, Mr. Spencer, and Mr. Ashford to research the 'Stairway of the Sun' and laying the foundation for Umbrella Corporation's massive empire."

Meng Yi nodded with a smile and dismounted from the Licker.

He found a zombie along the way whose clothes were still relatively clean and used them to wipe his dirty hands.

Walking leisurely to Alicia, Meng Yi acted just like an "elder," taking Alicia's wrinkled hand to ask about her well-being.

"Little Alicia, I even held you when you were a child."

Meng Yi gestured with his hands to show how much difference there was between the Alicia of the past and the Alicia of the present.

"Alas, time flies; of the 'old friends' who fought together, only I am left walking alone."

Alicia Marcus, whose memory had been tampered with, looked deeply convinced.

The little smarty-pants Red Queen: 'Fake at a glance, the acting isn't even realistic!'

"By the way, how are that old guy Edward Ashford's 'son,' 'grandson,' and 'granddaughter' doing?"

Meng Yi, who had "extremely high seniority" and had "lived for a long time," asked casually.

Alicia frowned and thought for a long while before saying uncertainly: "Mr. Alexander Ashford is missing, Alfred Ashford is working at a subsidiary after the company's reorganization, and Alexia Ashford is still serving as the director of the Antarctic Research Facility."

Meng Yi raised an eyebrow and thought to himself: 'Good fellow, it's a combination of the game version of *Resident Evil* and the movie version.'

The three founders of Umbrella Corporation are: Oswell E. Spencer, James Marcus, and Edward Ashford.

Oswell E. Spencer died in a power struggle; an old fart who kicked the bucket, no need to care.

James Marcus, the developer of the T-virus, Alicia Marcus's biological father. He is either lying in some sewer mutating and fusing with the virus, or he is completely dead.

Edward Ashford, the founder of the Progenitor virus. He died early, so no need to mention him.

His son, Alexander Ashford, used cloning technology to create "perfect works": the siblings Alfred Ashford and Alexia Ashford.

Unfortunately, being too much of a "genius" means being a "monster." The siblings backstabbed their own father, staging a "father-child feud," locking their father in the basement of the Antarctic Research Facility as a virus test subject, giving him no food or water, and keeping him locked up for over a decade.

Alfred Ashford, a piece of trash.

Alexia Ashford, graduated from university at ten, served as the director of the Antarctic Research Facility. She perfected the Veronica virus and, at the cost of being frozen for fifteen years, perfectly fused with the Veronica virus.

"Oh, I see."

Meng Yi feigned sudden realization, looked around, and said: "This is not the place to talk; let's go inside and chat."
