Chapter 15

It took Meng Yi one day to "illegally inherit" Umbrella, three days for the conference information to spread, and two days for the Blackwatch troops to clean up Raccoon City.

The time given by the novice selection instance was only one month, and one-fifth had already passed.

Just as Raccoon City turned into a sea of raging fire, Blackwatch drove tanks and armored vehicles to clear the way, hundreds of armed helicopters were in the sky, and soldiers turned their anger and grievances into artillery fire, venting it all on the zombie infected bodies, Meng Yi, located in the underground hive, was not idle either.

He packed and sealed all the scientific research memories of all the researchers in the Raccoon City underground hive, including Dr. Isaacs, into his "Memory Palace," and developed new viruses along the way.

In all worlds, power has times when it is exhausted, and equipment has times when it is scrapped; only knowledge is eternal.

Now Meng Yi just swallowed most of Umbrella Corporation's research results in one gulp, not yet sorted, summarized, or integrated into his own things.

But it was still an extremely rich wealth, and there was no need to spend Paradise coins and more precious authority to "certify" it from the selection instance.

……

In the Raccoon City underground hive, in a sterile laboratory, any piece of equipment inside had to be calculated in millions of dollars.

Meng Yi, wearing nitrile gloves, a respirator, and a white lab coat, was carefully using "psionic power" to microscopically manipulate the petri dish through the perspective of a high-precision microscope.

"The development data for the 'Progenitor virus' is all there, the 'C-virus,' 'T-virus,' 'G-virus,' and 'T/G synthetic virus' are also relatively complete, and the 'Veronica virus' only has a general idea description. As for the 'Abyss virus' and 'Uroboros virus,' they are blank."

"Alexia Ashford of the Antarctic Research Facility kept a hand; she didn't upload the 'T-Veronica virus' to the headquarters."

"Heh, this woman, a little clever, but not much."

Meng Yi was distracted, thinking while using "psionic power" to interfere with the microscopic field, accelerating the fusion speed of the "Progenitor virus strain" and "Queen Ant cells."

The branch virus synthesis formulas in the "Memory Palace" were very complete.

"T-Veronica virus" is made from "Progenitor virus" + "Ancient Queen Ant" + some plant "DNA."

The material library of the Raccoon City underground hive was rich in resources, and various samples were stored relatively comprehensively, but the name "Ancient Queen Ant" was a bit vague.

Although it was not clear what materials Alexia Ashford specifically chose.

But as long as you know a general external performance, some things don't need to be done step by step.

"Ancient Queen Ant, the name sounds loud, but the actual difference from the 'Fire Ant Queen' DNA map is not big."

*Resident Evil: Code Veronica*, Alexia Ashford's blood would spontaneously ignite when it touched the air, thus performing flame attacks.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, Firefly also used flame attack methods when facing the "B.O.W.," which was similar in material performance to Alexia's genuine "T-Veronica virus."

As for the azure cracks caused by Firefly's "entropy loss disease," this point can be fooled by shallow fusion, deep fusion, and perfect fusion.

Yes, that's right, Meng Yi is developing the "T-Veronica virus" to round out the big lie he told.

Think from another perspective, measure others by yourself.

Meng Yi did not believe that those "old vampires" dared to risk danger in the first place.

Sending family juniors to take risks, watching the whole process through the network, and only willing to step out from behind the scenes when everything is foolproof.

Therefore, the "flame attack" used to round out the lie must be there, and the "mind seal" applied to those "young vampires" must also be there.

……

A few hours later, "psionic power" microscopic interference "brute force" forcibly mixed the "Progenitor virus strain" and "Fire Ant Queen" genes together.

But as long as the "psionic power" dissipated, it would instantly destroy the existing fragile balance.

"The 'T-Veronica virus' will show external characteristics such as 'blooming' and 'vines' if it gets out of control; there are many categories to choose from."

Meng Yi frowned slightly, then relaxed.

"What I need is controllability and replicability, not temporary 'power'."

"Those 'old vampires' crave lifespan; the 'Modified Veronica virus' acts as a 'balancer,' so let's choose long-lived trees."

Ginkgo trees, spruce trees, locust trees, etc., are all kinds of long-lived trees.

Theoretically, "immortal jellyfish" could also be chosen, but unfortunately, the stability of the animal category is far inferior to the plant category.

"Plant categories that resist high-temperature flames, heat-resistant, sun-resistant, geraniums? Lotus? Bougainvillea? Jasmine? Rain lilies? Peony baskets? Sunflowers?"

Meng Yi could only choose from the materials on hand.

The dual-gene mixed strain is added to ginkgo, and then added to heat-resistant flowers.

Failure—

Bang!

Failure—

……

Experiment after experiment, failure after failure.

Meng Yi's mentality was very calm about this; how can you succeed in scientific research without experiencing failure?

If you could succeed easily, that's not scientific research, that's cheating!

Four days had passed since the big conference, the "grunts" of the Blackwatch troops were still cleaning up the surface of Raccoon City, and Meng Yi's "Modified Veronica virus" was completed.

After repeated verification.

The composite virus made of "Progenitor virus" + "Spruce gene" + "Fire Ant Queen gene" + "Sunflower gene" had the highest stability.

A clone of Albert Wesker was anesthetized and sent to Meng Yi's laboratory.

The genes of the super-popular villain "Uncle Wesker" are different from ordinary people; in the future, he can fuse with more complex "Uroboros viruses," so it should be no problem to act as a test subject; if it fails, it's just death.

Wesker's clone was placed on a cold test bench.

Meng Yi's eyes were calm, as if watching a pile of flesh and blood polymers.

The syringe was inserted into the test subject's vein, and the red and green strain solution was injected.

C-level "psionic power" was fully fired, instantly spreading throughout the test subject's limbs and bones, assisting, monitoring, and recording the fusion of the strain and the test subject's genes.

"Chairman Bai, can it succeed?"

Dr. Isaacs, who was helping on the side, said with some worry.

Meng Yi glanced at the Wesker body guarding the door and said in a flat tone: "It's best if it succeeds, otherwise it won't just be a clone lying on the test bench later."

Hearing this, Dr. Isaacs also looked at Wesker at the door.

The super-popular villain "Uncle Wesker," no, the weak, pitiful, and helpless "Little Wesker."

"Little Wesker" couldn't stand the gaze of the two scientific researchers who seemed to want to dissect him, and instinctively shuddered.

"Chairman Bai, you haven't closed your eyes for four days and four nights; why don't you go and rest, and I'll watch here?"

Dr. Isaacs remembered Wesker's previous flattery and suggested to smooth things over.

"You? Forget it, I don't trust you."

Meng Yi replied indifferently, and then stopped talking.

The remaining energy of this weak body was all used to load the "psionic power" interference in the microscopic field; how could he have the heart to chat with a big man?

……

22 hours later, the Blackwatch troops completed their mission on time, and the dawn of success also illuminated the underground hive laboratory.

Perfectly fusing the new virus, Meng Yi ordered the Wesker replica to display its new ability.

The test subject cut his finger, and the overflowing blood automatically burned; the wrist surrounded by flames showed plant-like vein patterns, greatly increasing resistance to flames.

The flame release ability replication is complete!

The test subject, who looked to be in his early thirties, also became like he was in his twenties.

In the microscopic field under the high-precision microscope, the "telomeres" at the ends of the test subject's eukaryotic cell linear chromosomes were extended a lot, and the theoretical lifespan limit was estimated to be increased to 200 years.

The "longevity" pie is drawn!

"My God! Is this a miracle?!"

"Dr. Bai, I have never admired anyone in my life; your talent makes me admire you!"

Dr. Isaacs praised sincerely, looking at Wesker's clone with amazement, his eyes more enthusiastic than looking at a popular Hollywood female star.

Five days and five nights without sleep, and long-term manipulation of "psionic power," Meng Yi was extremely exhausted.

"Red Queen, pause recording, seal the relevant experimental data, and remember to edit the video file well."

The holographic projection condensed, and the red-clad girl bowed, "Yes."

Meng Yi let out a long breath and waved his hand to refuse the help of Wesker's body, Wesker's test subject, and Dr. Isaacs.

"I'll go to sleep first; remember to wake me up when our 'guests' come to visit."

AI Red Queen nodded slightly and said obediently: "Yes! The Chairman's schedule has been updated."

"Dr. Bai, how should the 'new work' be named?"

Dr. Isaacs reluctantly moved his gaze away from the test bench sample and asked Meng Yi loudly.

"Naming?"

Meng Yi resisted his muddled state and thought for a moment: "Virus doesn't sound good, let's call it 'Longevity Gene Type I'."

[Prompt: Mastered Umbrella Corporation knowledge, passive skills Chemistry, Medicine, Biology have been improved, current level: Proficient -> Specialized.]

[Prompt: Slightly changed the world landscape, obtained: E-level rating · 1 + 2000 Paradise coins.]

[Prompt: Even if not in the selection instance, player White Demon can consume Paradise coins to purchase materials from the 'Evolution Paradise' for production.]

'Sure enough, knowledge has no right or wrong; use it for good and it is good, use it for evil and it is evil.'

Meng Yi sneered to himself; he needed to have a good sleep.

The comprehensive rating of the complete "Longevity Gene Type I" is at the E- level, but Meng Yi is obviously not satisfied with this level.

"Type II," "Type III," "Type IV"... this is just the beginning.

As long as the vision is broadened, the selection instance is a "big treasure house."
