Chapter 100: Mission Accomplished

"This is Umbrella, or rather, what all top-tier conglomerates are capable of doing together."

Zhang Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he softly exhorted Alice.

Compared to Alice's anger, Zhang Xuan actually felt a sense of relief in his heart upon seeing such a press conference.

It was actually a good thing that the other party was willing to jump out into the light to explain themselves and wash the dirt off their own bodies.

This indicated that they still cared about this world and still wanted to save face, which in turn meant they would not immediately execute their world-ending plans; the bottle of Origin he had given them was still having a significant effect.

Moreover, although Zhang Xuan's actions had been quite methodical, when it came down to it, he had only been a small writer with a wild imagination before.

He had a certain understanding of various events, wealthy families, and the styles and practices of so-called conglomerates, but most of it was learned through data.

If he were to sit behind a keyboard and type away at netizens, he could say a lot and be very organized, but if he were to actually operate in reality, he would be lacking in many ways.

Just like before he came to the Resident Evil world, he had already made the relevant preparations to directly use the Indestructible Heavenly Art to swallow the Origin of billions of people in this world to achieve an unprecedented physique.

But after truly arriving in the Resident Evil world, the relevant operations could not be carried out.

Now, practicing and operating in earnest in reality, verifying the conduct of the relevant conglomerates, and confirming such thoughts and guesses actually gave him quite a sense of accomplishment.

"Then what should we do next? The other party has distanced themselves completely clean; there isn't a single problem left."

After watching the press conference, if Alice hadn't been threatened by that Umbrella manager, and if she hadn't clearly known that Umbrella had previously threatened them with a nuclear bomb, she would have been full of sympathy for Umbrella.

No matter how you looked at it, Umbrella appeared to be a pure and flawless white lotus in this press conference, just researching peacefully at home when, for no reason, someone suddenly broke in to steal the virus, deliberately smashed the virus vials, and caused an entire research institute to die just to contain the virus.

The entire experience could be described with the word "miserable."

But combining the subsequent plot developments of the Resident Evil world with Umbrella's previous actions, Alice could not muster any good feelings for Umbrella.

Umbrella Corporation openly and directly used clones for relevant experiments, and it wasn't just one or two clones, but large-scale industrial production of clones.

And after these clones died, they would carelessly dump their corpses outside.

In the Resident Evil series, she had been mass-cloned and had died on a massive scale before.

"If you want to save the world, then reaching this step is already more than half the success."

Zhang Xuan faced Alice with a smile on his face.

He stood on the rooftop of the Broadcasting Building, looking at the city that was gradually returning to calm, and said in a low voice: "Umbrella Corporation has taken a step back voluntarily. Since they have started to care about their reputation and prestige, it means they still care about this world, and the actions related to ending the world will not be carried out for the time being."

"And without Umbrella Corporation's interference, the world won't directly enter a countdown state. With the power we currently possess, Raccoon City will soon return to calm; the virus will still spread, but it will be kept in check."

"From the perspective of the mission alone, I have already completed the mission of saving the world that you spoke of."

Alice was stunned, her blue eyes dazed.

"Is the rescue considered complete just like this? The world hasn't truly recovered, the virus hasn't been completely eradicated, and Umbrella Corporation, the biggest mastermind, still hasn't been dealt with."

Zhang Xuan let out a light breath and laughed: "According to your requirements, it can be considered more than half completed. The scale of the virus's spread has been greatly restricted, and the nuclear bomb will not descend directly."

"You are no longer fighting alone; you have hundreds of thousands of people in a city working with you, aren't you?"

Alice was taken aback. Reflecting on her experiences in the Resident Evil series, this was indeed the best hand she had ever been dealt across the six Resident Evil installments.

She had an entire city serving her, and they would be very obedient to her commands.

At the very least, this city had genuinely suffered from the T-Virus, and they could not possibly believe the rhetoric put forth by Umbrella.

Even if Umbrella had distanced themselves quite cleanly in this matter, they had truly and genuinely suffered; their relatives, their friends, and their wives had been turned into walking corpses by the T-Virus in this catastrophe for no reason.

Others might not have much of a feeling about Umbrella's existence, but they certainly would; they would firmly stand on Alice's side if Alice were to target Umbrella in the future.

"Then are you leaving?"

Although they hadn't spent much time together, looking at the man in front of her, Alice bit her lower lip inexplicably.

Compared to the ruggedness and recklessness of many men in the world she inhabited, this man who clearly came from the Eastern Region had delicate, fair skin, and his overall temperament was more classical.

His physique was also not the kind of excessively strong body common among mercenaries in the squad, which didn't entirely fit Western aesthetic requirements.

When she first met Zhang Xuan, Alice had harbored doubts, but a very short time of contact had caused Alice to develop a great fondness for this man from the mysterious ancient country of the Eastern Region.

His combat power was explosive, and he was calm and orderly at all times, never shaken by any unexpected changes; he was very steady when executing relevant plans.

No matter how dire the situation he encountered, he could handle it perfectly; staying by his side, it seemed there was no need to worry about anything.

After staying by Zhang Xuan's side for a long time, Alice, a person who had always relied on force to sweep everything away, had become gentle, like an ordinary office worker.

This unique and special charm—while Zhang Xuan was there, Alice's feelings hadn't been very profound, but now that Zhang Xuan vaguely revealed his intention to leave, Alice was suddenly very reluctant.

Compared to the recklessness of many others, this man's approach was both methodical and planned; facing the greatest crisis, facing the descent of a nuclear bomb, he could still calmly negotiate with the other party.

Facing a city on the verge of chaos, he could also issue orders in an orderly manner, allowing the city to restore order instead of letting it fall into complete chaos and become a Dead City.

This unique, leader-like charm was more attractive than the types of figures she had known in the past.

"All good things must come to an end."

Facing Alice's reluctance, Zhang Xuan was quite clear-headed.

He had not spent a short time in the Resident Evil world, and the relevant primary goals had already been achieved; at the very least, the Origin of thousands of zombies still had a good effect on him.

Although the world as a whole had not yet returned to peace and tranquility, the overall order was gradually being restored; if there were major changes later on.

If there were large-scale casualties, Zhang Xuan could still return to try and swallow more Origin while turning the tide once again.

"Besides, you don't have many points now. Every day I stay in this world, I have to consume a large batch of points; the longer I stay, the more points it costs."

This statement was, of course, nonsense; the points were entirely made up by Zhang Xuan.

Did they exist? How many were needed was entirely up to him, but as soon as this sentence was said, Alice indeed fell into silence.

She had a certain understanding of how precious points were in the Chat Group, and even Zhang Xuan himself had been "freeloaded" by her.

Now that Zhang Xuan had handled and finished many things, she couldn't say anything about him leaving now; after all, Zhang Xuan hadn't asked her for much of a reward.

"Then... what should I use to repay you? After all, I have nothing right now."

Alice was still somewhat lingering, and the charm she revealed while biting her lip in hesitation made Zhang Xuan pause for a moment.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuan quickly regained his composure, pointed to the Red Queen motherboard on the table, and smiled: "Just give that to me."

"But isn't that your item to begin with?"

Zhang Xuan rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, and then said: "But it is quite dangerous, and I am not sure if the relevant computer data can be used directly. Only after the authoritative certification and review of the Chat Group can it be more easily used by me; it is not like so-called heavenly treasures..."

This is also one of the reasons why he came to this Shi Jie and set the relevant mission objectives.

Once a mission notarized by the Chat Group is approved by the person who issued it.

Then the mission issuer must provide the relevant mission reward; the things given are basically universally applicable, and the rules of the Chat Group will actively audit the relevant items.

Zhang Xuan is actually quite covetous of the Red Queen; after all, this is a quite special item. If the danger within it could be discarded and it were placed on Earth, it would be unstoppable on the internet. It should be able to occupy everything connected to the internet via physical connections.

The only thing Zhang Xuan needs to consider is the loyalty and instability of the Red Queen.

After all, the Red Queen has gradually developed relevant artificial intelligence attributes. If she were to suddenly go crazy later and kill Zhang Xuan or most of the people on Earth, that would be a big problem.

Therefore, he wants to actively have it pass through Alice's hands.

In this way, the Red Queen's relevant loyalty attributes will be raised, and at the same time, her adaptability attributes will be further raised. For him, it is both safe and stable, a very easy-to-use tool.

Alice bit her red lips and nodded without hesitation.

"This originally belongs to you; there is no problem with it passing through my hands."

While speaking, Alice took two steps forward, already very close to Zhang Xuan.

Alice has a tall figure, one could even say she is somewhat tall.

Walking in front of Zhang Xuan, she can look Zhang Xuan in the eye by slightly raising her head.

Such a close distance made Zhang Xuan feel slightly uncomfortable. He wanted to take a step back to create distance, but Alice took another step closer, holding Zhang Xuan's hand.

"Since you have come to my world, you must of course leave behind some memorable things."

Zhang Xuan did not retreat this time, vaguely understanding Alice's meaning. He raised his eyebrows and said: "There are many memorable things; whether it is the Hive underground base or the relevant Lickers, my memories are all very deep."

"Those are all too ugly, aren't they? We should leave behind some beautiful memories!"

Alice took a further step, her pair of water-blue eyes staring at Zhang Xuan without blinking, and then she actively hugged Zhang Xuan's waist with both hands.

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment and gave a response as well; he is not some Liuxia Hui who can sit unmoved in a woman's lap.

He has experienced relevant things before; since the person has already actively reached this step, why refuse?

Moreover, Alice is not bad-looking, heroic and spirited. After merging with the relevant T-Virus, the common large pores and freckles on the faces of Westerners have also disappeared, and her skin appears even more delicate, like Mutton Fat White Jade.

Zhang Xuan actively hugged her with both hands and skillfully unbuttoned the relevant buttons.

(The God of Harmony passed by here.)

"Don't forget me!"

At the moment of greatest emotional intensity, a cheer escaped Alice's lips.

And Zhang Mingtu also gave a certain response.

Looking at Alice, who had gradually fallen into a deep sleep, he shook his head slightly and covered Alice with a thin quilt.

He turned and returned to the Broadcasting Building.

Thinking slightly, the brief intimacy did not make the sense of crisis and urgency in his heart disappear, but the person was indeed refreshed and felt more comfortable.

Arriving at the Broadcasting Building, he obtained the corresponding motherboard of the Red Queen, and in his mind, the relevant prompts from the Chat Group had already arrived.

"Do you want to select the Red Queen motherboard as the reward for this mission?"

"Yes!"

"The mission related to saving the world has been inspected and approved by the mission issuer, Alice. Do you want to return?"

Zhang Xuan looked back; the city still had flickering lights at night. Although it was not as prosperous as before, it had already restored quite a bit of order.

And afterwards, with the bottle of Origin that Zhang Xuan left behind, for at least a long time, the main purpose of the Umbrella Corporation would be to study that bottle of Origin, rather than doing other things.

The world will gradually return to normal, and there should not be too many problems. As for the Origin extracted by the Indestructible Heavenly Art, if one wants to study it thoroughly with Tier 4 technology like that of Resident Evil, I am afraid it would take ten or a hundred years as a premise.

Before that, the whole world will be quite stable, and before figuring out Zhang Xuan's identity and location, the Umbrella Corporation will not take large-scale actions.

Alice's relevant safety can at least be guaranteed to a large extent.

After thinking it over, Zhang Xuan felt that there should not be any major problems. He returned to a renovated bedroom in the Broadcasting Building and looked at Alice, who was still fast asleep; a satisfied smile still hung on Alice's lazy face.

The corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth curved. His fingertips flashed in the air, pointing at Alice's glabella, imparting the relevant cultivation methods and tips of the Nine Yang Divine Art to her, and a wisp of True Qi wandered through Alice's body, completing a Great Circulation.

In this way, Alice can easily embark on the path of cultivation with such a method, and she could even be considered a genius in the Martial Arts world.

After doing all this, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

A ray of light flashed, and he disappeared from the spot instantly.
