Chapter 37

However, this cure is still imperfect, and the damage to humans is far greater than that of my treatment.

After the surprise, the plague doctor spoke of the T virus's flaws as he saw them, and turned to Sui Bian and asked:

"Mr. Sui, you have provided an excellent experimental specimen; as a reward, what kind of assistance do you need me to provide?"

"Doctor," Sui Bian looked at the D-class personnel who had become a zombie and said: "In the future I will provide you with more similar experimental specimens; I hope you can give us ample improvement suggestions."

If you can find a way to restore their consciousness, or prevent their brains from being damaged, that would be even better.

Since Hank confirmed that the first abnormal phenomenon was the plague doctor, he has been pondering how to arrange the plague doctor.

Containment control? Or look for a mitigation solution?

The plague doctor's medical knowledge far exceeds ordinary understanding, so merely imprisoning him would be somewhat wasteful; therefore Sui Bian hopes to have this eccentric doctor assist Umbrella in perfecting and improving the T virus.

Especially since BoKen has also completed the G virus, Sui Bian plans to inject D-class personnel with the G virus in the future, and then, before the G virus erodes them to death, deliver them to the plague doctor for study.

As for whether D-class personnel infected with the T or G virus would pose a threat to the plague doctor?

Sui Bian hadn't considered that at all.

With the plague doctor's instant-death ability, it would be good enough if they don't make those D-class personnel suffer a fate worse than death.

Who knows, the plague doctor might actually be able to give BoKen and Rebecca effective advice.

After hearing Sui Bian's words, the plague doctor responded almost without hesitation: "Hahaha, sir, even if you hadn't mentioned it, I would still do it.

"Enough!" At this point, the plague doctor began waving his hand to drive away security and researchers, saying: "I'm about to start the operation! You being here will disturb my thoughts!"

"Let's go, give the doctor a quiet environment for the experiment."

Seeing this, Sui Bian turned and left the cell, and at the same time issued a withdrawal order to everyone.

"Yes, sir."

Afterward, the whole group withdrew from the cell where the plague doctor was.

"Swoosh-." As the metallic cell door closed again, the cell returned to openness and silence…

"Awo…! Awo…!"

It wasn't complete silence; the remaining zombie-like D-class personnel, stumbling, raised both hands and walked toward the plague doctor.

It seems to regard the plague doctor as food.

"Ah… this patient seems a bit dishonest, so as punishment, let's start the experiment with you first."

The plague doctor seemed to notice the zombie treating him as food, so while uttering the above sentence, he shook his head and raised his left hand to lightly pat the zombie's right shoulder.

"Uh…" The zombie that made contact with the plague doctor let out a low moan resembling a lament, then its body fell backward, collapsing limp on the ground.

"Ugh… ugh…" Immediately after, the zombie lying on the ground tried to struggle to stand, but found its body completely unresponsive.

Next.

The plague doctor calmly approached the first corpse‑pushing cart, took disposable medical gloves from the small bag placed on it, put them on, and then retrieved a medical bone saw longer than the bag itself.

After taking out these items, the plague doctor finally walked toward the immobilized zombie and muttered:

"Do not be afraid, do not fear; I will give you a real treatment."

"Ugh…" The zombie continued its low moan, but the tone differed from before, and its struggling grew stronger, as if…

Is it scared?

A zombie can actually be scared?

The researchers stationed in the control room on the third level of the Mother Nest, watching through the cell's monitor, saw the zombie's fearful behavior and involuntarily got goosebumps.

If a being without thought, memory, consciousness, or emotion can feel fear, then how powerful is the abnormal phenomenon dubbed the plague doctor by Director Sui?

However, the researchers only hesitated briefly before resuming their recording duties.

…

Soon after.

Mother Nest, second level.

Sui Bian's bedroom.

"Sir, according to the selection, the most suitable base to convert into an Abnormal Phenomena Containment Center is Lockford Island in the Indian Ocean."

The White Queen's cold, calm voice resonated in the bedroom.

Sui Bian sat at the computer desk, his right hand holding the mouse, his middle finger slowly scrolling the wheel, reading the files about Lockford Island on the screen.

He then asked: "Alright, what is the status of the island's person in charge, Alfred Asifort?"

"Because, Mr. Sui, due to the lockdown order you issued earlier, we currently do not know the facts of the company's share changes. However, Alfred Asifort has been defensive toward the company since his appointment. I suggest you, Mr. Sui, adopt the Red Queen's proposal and directly command troops to carry out a raid," the White Queen said.

"Hmm, it's time to settle accounts with those who have long harbored ulterior motives, Red Queen. What is the reaction of those UBCS after learning the facts?" Sui Bian asked the Red Queen again.

"Sir, all UBCS loyal to the company, after viewing the files on 'Leech Queen' and the plague doctor, have accepted the fact that abnormal entities, spaces, and phenomena exist in the world.

Furthermore, under the supervision of the Carchon Task Force commander Enrique Marini and DeputyCaptainChris, they have all signed formal employment contracts and confidentiality agreements," the Red Queen said.

"Very well, send me the list of UBCS loyal to the company."

"Yes, sir."

As soon as the conversation ended, the Red Queen uploaded the document containing the loyal UBCS list.

Opening the document and skimming through it, among the 54 UBCS only the platoon leader Michel Victor was marked as 'survived'.

Among the other three platoon leaders, two were traitors, and one was deemed unfit due to conduct, had his memory erased and was reclassified as a 'wild' mercenary.

Indeed, even the UBCS perfectly inherit Umbrella's 'excellent' tradition, being most adept at internal competition.

Having finished reading the document, Sui Bian fell into contemplation.

Should he select some UBCS to merge into the Carchon Task Force led by Marini and Chris, or directly establish a larger MTF?

After a few seconds, Sui Bian made his decision: "Red Queen, I intend to form a task force dedicated to medium and large‑scale battles and military operations, incorporating all 54 UBCS into it."

"May I ask what this task force will be named?"

"The Spear of Olympus (theSpearofOlympus)."

"Yes, sir."

"The system has detected that the host is about to launch a cleansing operation against the Asifort family, so the system issues a challenge mission; please listen carefully, host."

"Mission: Control or eliminate Alekxia Asifort."

"Success: Reward 500 points."
