Chapter 4: Unusual Teammates

*Progenitor Virus?*

*Redlight Virus?*

Meng Yi, having probed the surrounding environment and confirmed that it is temporarily safe, thinks rapidly.

As a "Telepathic Psyker," he had integrated his memories from his past and present lives in his spare time, creating a "Memory Palace" mode. Although the process was difficult, Meng Yi still completed it.

Therefore, his highest academic qualification is still a doctoral graduate; he didn't become an illiterate person who couldn't recognize a single character because he lacked culture in this life, but instead improved quite a bit.

He inputs the two somewhat familiar terms "Progenitor Virus" and "Redlight Virus" into the "search bar."

The "Memory Palace" instantly pops up many memories from his past life.

Progenitor Virus: An RNA-type virus, the cause of the *Resident Evil* game and movie series, originally from the "Stairway of the Sun" plant in the altar of the Ndipaya tribe in West Africa.

Subsequently, the "Umbrella Corporation" conducted research on the "Progenitor Virus," developing "Progenitor Virus + Leech Gene = T-Virus," "Progenitor Virus + Lisa Gene = G-Virus," "T-Virus + G-Gene = T/G-Virus," "Progenitor Virus + Ant Gene = Veronica Virus," "Progenitor Virus + T-Virus + G-Virus + Veronica Virus + Parasitic Organism Las Plagas = Uroboros Virus"... and a series of variants.

Redlight Virus: A virus that changes the form of life species, the cause of the *Prototype* game series, originating from the Hope Town virus carrier, Elizabeth. It is the predecessor of the "Blacklight Virus" and possesses the potential for devouring evolution.

……

Long-forgotten memories flood his mind, as clear and distinct as if they happened yesterday.

His mind operates at high speed; he completes the review of his memories in a few breaths, and new doubts arise.

*The Resident Evil series—is it the movie version or the game version?*

Movie version: The T-virus leaked underground in Raccoon City can spread through air, body fluids, biological vectors, food, contact, etc. Modern military and information control in the Blue Star are as if they don't exist; a small company can do whatever it wants.

Electronic game version: The virus leaked in the Raccoon City mansion, and the Umbrella Corporation was immediately dismantled by various countries. When a whale falls, everything grows; all kinds of monsters and ghosts gnaw on the remains of Umbrella and rise rapidly, but the general world still belongs to the category of order, which is relatively reasonable.

Clearing away his wild thoughts, after thinking about the "Progenitor Virus," Meng Yi begins to review the *Prototype* series.

The "Redlight Virus" and "Blacklight Virus" lack air transmission routes. Although the devouring evolution ability is tricky, as long as it is nipped in the bud, it won't be able to stir up any trouble.

Haven't you seen the famous "Alex," who was still treated like a rat in Manhattan by the special operations unit of the Bald Eagle, Blackwatch?

How strong is Blackwatch?

A zombie crisis breaks out on this street, and life continues in an orderly fashion on the next street.

Even so, Blackwatch is only a strategic unit under the Bald Eagle.

Zombies? Zombie dogs? Lickers? Tyrants? Mutated creatures? Perfect virus fusion bodies?

Understand modern firepower coverage?

Thermobaric bombs, white phosphorus bombs, intercontinental missiles, tactical nuclear bombs, strategic nuclear bomb firepower coverage.

The steel torrent of tanks and armored vehicles pushes across the ground, carrier strike groups blockade the sea, and fighter jets and bombers shroud the sky.

The inventory of the top rogue of the Blue Star is more than enough to plow through billions of zombies and mutants repeatedly!

Virus-infected? How many heavy synthetic brigades can they withstand?

The ultimate dungeon of the five rogues, the Great Wall Watch, Winter is Coming, and Raging Sea of the top three rogues are activated; the virus is nothing.

The "Iron Tower Still Stands" and "Orphan of London" of the bottom two rogues shouldn't come out to embarrass themselves.

France, after all, can only win battles under the leadership of women, foreigners, and short people; no one can capture Paris before France surrenders.

The British Empire has already become a glimmer of sunset in the western mountains, long since failing to match its former courage.

*Since it is a normally developing world, then raise everyone's IQ to a normal level. An air-transmissible virus + potentially existing modern Blue Star military—the latter is more likely the reason for the dungeon cap of lv39.*

Meng Yi no longer ponders the destructive power of the modern military; the difficulty division of the Paradise now requires even less mental effort.

He would have to be brain-dead to go head-to-head with an information-based military. What does a cultured person need with fighting and killing?

*Or perhaps the difficulty of lv39 must be attributed to the rather vague term "demon," a composite virus breeding ground, a supreme king of bugs rolled out?*

If only considering the virus, in terms of wide-area threat level, the transmission route of the *Resident Evil* series is superior.

In terms of individual potential cap, the virus of the *Prototype* series has a higher cap.

The Blacklight Virus · Alex, born only 18 days ago, evolved to withstand tactical nuclear strikes without dying, which is truly jumping repeatedly on the coffins of Newton and Darwin.

In less than ten seconds, Meng Yi finishes thinking about the world background given by the "Evolution Paradise."

Except for the "demon" which is still unclear, the threat level of the others is not high.

He is not panicked at all; a "Telepathic Psyker" in a conventional modern society is a dimensionality-reduction strike.

Mentally sound living beings can be manipulated by him, and zombies with only instincts will only be simpler!

Spreading simple action commands like a signal tower, interfering with the action logic of brain-dead zombies.

Consuming a certain amount of time, gathering a zombie tide in the millions is easy; even the "Zombie King" of the doomsday setting would call him an expert.

Having finally grasped the opportunity to change his fate, just live a simple month? That would be too wasteful.

As for where he is now, what he can get in the selection trial, how to use the one-month time most efficiently... these details can be pondered slowly later.

The urgent task is to deal with his two "teammates," because the last regular adult male individual to wake up has opened his eyes.

……

Except for the doorway, there is a person lying against each of the other three walls in the messy conference room.

Besides Meng Yi, there is a man and a woman.

In Meng Yi's mental scan just now, the male teammate's mental strength was only at the level of an ordinary person, his clothes were soaked by ice water, and he had a tendency to have a cold and fever.

That female teammate's mental strength is very strange, like a raging fire, and also like a remnant flame swaying in the wind.

If his detection was correct, he was the first to wake up, and that woman was the second, trailing him by less than half a minute.

This is a bit interesting.

A novice selection dungeon has Meng Yi, who has innate high-level psychic power; a woman who is in a strange state and gives Meng Yi a sense of danger; and a man who looks plain and unremarkable.

"Two, are you both awake? Let's talk."

The man smiles bitterly, self-deprecatingly and somewhat decadently.

"My name is Luo Ji. I accidentally fell into an ice lake not long ago, and I was unlucky enough to be selected by this damn 'Evolution Paradise'."

Luo Ji? Fell into an ice lake?

Meng Yi extracts the keywords and quickly confirms the teammate's identity through the "Memory Palace."

Alright, retract the previous statement.

Of the three teammates in the selection dungeon, not one is simple.

What is this? Is this trying to make the four Chaos Gods of the Warhammer worldview bump into the Returner civilization of the Three-Body Problem worldview? ===== CHAPTER 5 =====
