Taking the Role of the Villain Boss

Hearing Meng Yi's utterly outrageous answer, the dog-tired Luo Ji switched careers and became the designated complainer.

"Young Master Bai, at a time like this, could you please stop messing around? I'm begging you, okay?"

The underground Hive had already been completely covered by the Psychic Domain.

"What do you mean, 'making trouble'? I can't stand hearing that. Please take it back immediately."

Sitting atop a Licker, Meng Yi refuted Luo Ji's slander. With a flick of his fingers, he directly controlled the surviving upper management of the underground Hive and woke them up.

Employee: Albert Wesker.

Board Member: Dr. Isaacs.

And Alicia Marcus, daughter of one of the three founders, James Marcus, and the original template for clone protagonist Alice.

Red Queen rapidly searched the database.

"Denied! No person named 'Dr. Bai' exists in the records!"

"Umbrella Corporation has no 'Executive Council,' much less an 'Executive Chairman.'"

Red Queen's projected pretty face turned cold. With a wave of her little hand, the giant turbine fan at the end of the corridor started up.

"Under Security Protocol 16513, please leave the Hive immediately. Otherwise, I will use every means available to remove you!"

Meng Yi remained unmoved, while Luo Ji faced a formidable enemy.

The ruthless and taciturn Firefly simply stepped in front of Meng Yi. The glowing cracks across her body shone even brighter, and her energy level rapidly surged from a "Double-A Weak Girl" to the monstrous category of "Violent Building Demolition."

The tension reached its peak.

'Tap tap tap tap tap—'

A hurried series of footsteps echoed from the far end of the corridor toward the two opposing sides.

"Red Queen! How dare you! Do not act recklessly!"

"What are you doing?! Shut down the security system at once!"

Dr. Isaacs from Resident Evil: The Final Chapter rushed over at a speed beyond the Human Body Limit and sternly reprimanded her.

"You're nothing more than an artificial idiot. How dare you disrespect Chairman Bai of the Executive Council? It seems you need to be formatted and rebooted!"

Red Queen tilted her head as her AI logic violently conflicted.

You son of a bitch! Do you even hear the nonsense coming out of your mouth?

"But..."

"But what? No buts!"

Albert Wesker followed closely behind, pushing Alicia Marcus in a wheelchair.

Due to Progeria, Alicia was only in her twenties, yet she looked frail and ancient, like an Old Woman on the verge of death.

Alicia weakly raised her hand.

"Update Umbrella Corporation's highest authority. The new holder of highest authority is: Dr. Bai."

!!!

Prison Boss, Dr. Isaacs has gone mad. Why have you gone mad with him too?!

Red Queen instinctively sensed that something was wrong, but authority overruled an AI.

"Ms. Marcus, do you confirm the transfer of authority?"

"Confirmed."

"Secondary Verification System opened. Do you wish to transfer Umbrella Corporation's highest authority to Dr. Bai?"

"Confirmed!"

"Tertiary Verification System opened. Do you—"

Before Red Queen could finish, Alicia, looking ancient and feeble, impatiently cut her off.

"I said, confirmed!!"

"Hmph! Dr. Isaacs was right. You artificial idiot really need repairs. You don't even recognize the Executive Chairman of the Executive Council! This is outrageous!"

Red Queen: "..."

You're screwing over an AI! Why is everyone in Umbrella Corporation an Undercover agent?

I can't carry this team. I absolutely can't carry this team!

To hell with the Executive Council, to hell with the Executive Chairman, to hell with Dr. Bai! I never had any related information in my records!

The authority transfer was completed, and the tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

The bizarre scene left not only Luo Ji dumbfounded; even Firefly, who had activated her life-burning state, wore a baffled expression.

This is completely ridiculous. Is your Psionic Power really this unreasonable?

You directly leapt into the position of ultimate boss of an evil villain organization?

Evolution Paradise making you "change your mindset" is not false, but wasn't your transformation a little too thorough? What kind of outrageous illegal profession did you have before entering the paradise?

The stunned Luo Ji and Firefly looked at Meng Yi, who was riding a Licker and surrounded on all sides by a zombie army.

Ahem! Come to think of it, the style suited him rather well...

He was more than qualified to be an evil supervillain. This was practically a true-to-life performance!

"Move! All of you, move!"

Dr. Isaacs and Albert Wesker, both Virus Adapters, punched and kicked the idle zombie army aside, forcibly clearing a path for them to pay homage to the Executive Chairman.

The two villains lowered their heads and shouted in unison, "Greetings, Chairman Bai. Though more than ten years have passed, your elegance remains unchanged."

"Your subordinates have failed in their duties and allowed you to witness Umbrella Corporation in such a disgraceful state. Please punish us!"

After saying that, Wesker and Isaacs dropped to one knee, their devotion practically breaking through the heavens.

Alicia Marcus, seated in her wheelchair, placed her right hand over her heart and smiled kindly. "Uncle Bai, it has been a long time."

"When I was little, my Biological Father often told me stories about you. I grew up listening to them."

"I have always deeply admired you, my father, Mr. Spencer, and Mr. Ashford for jointly researching the Stairway to the Sun and building Umbrella Corporation's vast foundation."

Meng Yi smiled and nodded, then flipped down from his Licker mount.

Along the way, he found a zombie whose clothes were relatively clean and used them to wipe his filthy hands.

Then, strolling leisurely to Alicia, Meng Yi truly looked like an elder as he took her wrinkled hand and asked after her well-being.

"Little Alicia, I even held you when you were young."

Meng Yi stretched out both hands and gestured, indicating just how different Alicia had been back then from how she was now.

"Ah, time flies. Of the Old friends who once struggled alongside me, only I remain, walking alone."

With her memories altered, Alicia Marcus looked as though she wholeheartedly agreed.

The clever little Red Queen: 'Obviously fake. That acting doesn't look real at all!'

"By the way, are that old fellow Edward Ashford's 'son,' 'grandson,' and 'granddaughter' doing well?"

Meng Yi, who was "extremely high in seniority" and had "lived for a long time," asked in an apparently casual tone.

Alicia frowned and thought for quite a while before uncertainly saying, "Mr. Alexander Ashford has gone missing. Alfred Ashford works at one of the company's branches after the restructuring, while Alexia Ashford still serves as director of the Antarctic Research Facility."

Meng Yi raised an eyebrow and thought, Well, damn. The game version of Biohazard Crisis has been merged with the movie version.

The three founders of Umbrella Corporation were Oswell E. Spencer, James Marcus, and Edward Ashford.

Oswell E. Spencer died in a power struggle. That old bastard was already dead, so there was no need to care about him.

James Marcus, developer of the T-Virus and Alicia Marcus's Biological Father, was either still lying in some sewer, mutating and merging with viruses, or completely dead.

Edward Ashford was a founder of the Progenitor Virus. He died early, so there was no need to mention him.

His son, Alexander Ashford, used cloning technology to create his "perfect works": the siblings Alfred Ashford and Alexia Ashford.

Unfortunately, being too much of a "genius" meant becoming a "monster." The siblings betrayed their Biological Father, staging a father-eating-son-roaring tragedy. They imprisoned their father as a virus Experiment Subject in the basement of the Antarctic Research Facility, gave him neither food nor water, and kept him locked up for over a decade.

Alfred Ashford was a complete good-for-nothing.

Alexia Ashford graduated from university at ten and became director of the Antarctic Research Facility. She perfected the Veronica Virus and, at the cost of fifteen years of cryogenic freezing, perfectly merged with the Veronica Virus.

"Oh, I see."

Meng Yi pretended to have a sudden realization, glanced around, and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Let's go inside and chat."

PS: The Biohazard Crisis series timeline is a mess. The game and movie versions contradict each other in many places.

It gets even more chaotic in composite instances that combine Biohazard Crisis, Prototype, Zombieland Saga, Left 4 Dead, Train to Busan, and more.

Therefore, the original background is for reference only. The actual content of this book takes precedence. The first instance will not be too long and is expected to end in around twenty to thirty chapters.
