Chapter 226: Transformation and Fire Spirit

It is precisely because of your father's silent dedication that the company and humanity no longer need to worry about the invasion of the hellish plane.

Moreover, the experience of another special employee makes me feel that it's best to tell you the truth, because children understanding their parents' hardships is actually the greatest encouragement for parents.

Even if your father cannot know what is happening now, but if he returns from hell at that moment and sees you, your mother, your sister, and the whole family waiting for him…

I think he will surely feel that everything he did was worthwhile, and his silent efforts and struggles were not in vain.

This is also the best way I can think of to repay your father.

Mr. Sui…

After hearing Sui Bian's words, Zigler asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Are you saying my father has a chance to return to our world?"

"Once he slashes through hell and slaughters all the demons, he will surely find a way back." Sui Bian did not give a completely affirmative answer.

He added: "Before that, I think what you need to consider is how to extend the lifespan of you and your family, and even of all humanity."

"Extend... lifespan." Zigler whispered.

After Sui Bian finished speaking, Bai Hou, standing beside him, without needing a reminder, promptly assisted her boss by actively switching the holographic screen's content.

Seeing this.

Sui Bian continued: "Doctor Kai Qi, what is presented before your eyes is the company's most secret discovery, the Blood Vine Flower, from which the company has also developed a corresponding life-prolonging agent."

But the company has so far been unable to mass-produce this agent, and moreover, this agent cannot achieve true mass production, because I think you should know what the world would become after mass production.

"Hmm..." Zigler nodded while browsing the files on the Blood Vine Flower and the life-prolonging agent, saying, "Indeed."

After reviewing the files.

Zigler's emotions lingered, but she never doubted the truth of what Sui Bian said, including the exaggerated "hell" and "demons," because Leon, akin to a demigod, stood not far away.

She also understood Umbrella's actions, which, as the propaganda says, are for humanity, and given Sui Bian's stature, there is absolutely no need to use lies to achieve any goal.

She knew that if she could achieve a major breakthrough in her strongest field, nanobiotechnology, it would indeed be possible to raise humanity's overall lifespan.

If combined with more detailed data on the Blood Vine Flower and supported by Umbrella's mature biotechnology, the chance of achieving a breakthrough approaches infinity.

At this moment, Sui Bian said: "I can provide your family with an appropriate amount of the life-prolonging agent, so that you and your family can wait for your father's return, and I will also dispatch…"

"No need, Mr. Sui." Zigler interrupted Sui Bian with a smile, saying:

"I know you, sir, are interested in my expertise, which is why you revealed to me that my father is still alive, and even the confidential files about hell, demons, and the Blood Vine Flower, rather than my mother or sister."

"Because as a company researcher, I am qualified to access these confidential files."

"Therefore, sir, I will assist the company in breaking through nanobiotechnology, thereby indirectly extending the lifespans of my family."

"Good, but you need to be clear: your workplace is no longer Los Angeles, but the Peru research center in South America." Sui Bian said.

"I have convinced my mother to go to Peru together; of course, please rest assured, Mr. Sui, even though I have not yet signed the relevant confidentiality agreement, I will not disclose today's conversation."

Without Sui Bian needing to spell it out, Zigler voluntarily brought up the confidentiality agreement.

After all, from the moment she learned of those files, her fate was sealed: to become a member of Umbrella's interior.

"Hmm." Sui Bian responded softly, then looked at Bai Hou and said: "Trouble you to take charge of assisting Doctor Kai Qi with the relevant procedures."

"Okay, please follow me, Doctor Kai Qi."

"Thank you, sir."

Zigler again expressed gratitude to Sui Bian, then immediately left the office with Bai Hou.

After the office's automatic door closed, Sui Bian returned to the side of the floor-to-ceiling window, continuing to admire Raccoon City, which he had prevented from being destroyed.

He seemed not to have been in this position for a long time, overlooking the night view of Raccoon City.

Gazing at the still-crowded streets and traffic jams, Sui Bian felt the city's beauty and began to gradually empty his mind.

Leon also slowly approached Sui Bian's side, but Leon said nothing, so as not to disturb the father who was relaxing his mind and body.

After an unknown amount of time, even Bai Hou had arranged the relevant procedures and had returned to the office.

"Dong~! Dong!"

Suddenly, the clock tower in the city center struck the midnight chime for the whole city, indicating that now is a new day.

Upon hearing the chime, Sui Bian quickly gathered his thoughts and opened the just-refreshed system shop.

Then, a product list visible only to him appeared before Sui Bian.

"Oh? Not bad."

Without examining it closely, but the first item for sale on the list made him feel that this refresh was quite good.

Looking further, after browsing all the items, Sui Bian discovered that this refresh actually yielded two items worth exchanging at once.

Most importantly, he could afford both, indicating that his good luck was no illusion.

He then told the system: "Exchange me for the planetary transformation device and the Fire Spirit."

{The two items together require 73,500 points; after deducting the points, the host's remaining points are 2,500.

Exchanging…

Exchange completed, congratulations to the host for obtaining the planetary environment modification device from the movie *Starship Troopers: Martian Rebel*, and the Phoenix-class support vessel Fire Spirit from the game *Halo Wars* series.

At the same time, the system also fully analyzed and uploaded the relevant technology of the two items, and performed memory modification on Umbrella's employees.

Hearing the system's words in his mind, Sui Bian only felt a sense of comfort permeating his entire body.

Because exchanging these signifies that humanity as a whole has once again been enhanced, the efficiency of extraterrestrial colonization will greatly increase, and even exploration beyond the solar system can be put on the agenda.

This brings him one step closer to the prosperous era he inwardly expects.

?

Leon beside him vaguely felt that Sui Bian at this moment seemed to be experiencing…

joyful emotion?

Although he didn't understand why, Leon's demeanor remained indifferent, and he did not proactively ask.

After all, to Leon, a father's thoughts are unfathomable.

And Sui Bian, who could clearly sense Leon's emotional fluctuations, was actually not deliberately concealing his joy from his third son, and continued to say to the system:

【Where are the exchanged transformation device and the Fire Spirit?】

【Currently, the planetary environment transformation device is located at the north pole center point of Mars, and is undergoing an automatic transformation program on Mars.】

Due to the size of the Fire Spirit, it exceeds the specifications that the Luna Base dock can accommodate; therefore, the Fire Spirit is currently hovering above Luna Base.
