"Chairman, you haven't rested for seven days and seven nights. Are you really sure you don't need to take a break?"
After cultivating for ten days straight, Alexia Ashford's originally exquisite, beautiful face had turned dull and lifeless. Dark circles hung beneath her eyes, and she spoke with trembling, dry, pale lips.
What sane person worked nonstop for half a month?
Looking at Alexia's unfocused gaze and delicate body that could barely stand, one couldn't help feeling that this "Ant Queen" might "sleep forever" at any moment.
Coincidentally, Dr. Isaacs, who had also been "cultivating," was old and frail. Although he was a biochemical-modified human, his condition was even worse than Alexia's.
The heartless Meng Yi looked radiant and full of energy. The newly acquired Biochemical System Psionics stimulated his body's hormone secretion, meaning he could keep fighting for another month!
When hungry or thirsty, he directly injected glucose infusions. When sleepy or tired, he adjusted his hormones. When faced with difficulties, he overcame them. How could he possibly stop moving forward?
"Sleep? You're so young. How can you even fall asleep?"
He carefully reclaimed the super virus strains that were powerful enough to wreak havoc across an entire world.
After thinking it over, Meng Yi decided to give the two of them a break as well. After all, he still had to rely on them to lend a hand for more than a week.
"Forget it. Young people are young people after all. You can't compare yourselves to an old hand like me. I understand."
Alexia knocked on her groggy head and complained while staring wide-eyed at Meng Yi.
"0.o? Chairman, you look younger than me, don't you?"
"Besides, Dr. Isaacs is over fifty and already nearly died of exhaustion. In the past twenty-four hours, he's fallen unconscious three whole times."
"Nonsense!"
Dr. Isaacs, who was barely breathing, sprang to his feet, yanked out the intravenous stimulant and nutrient drip, and flew into a rage.
"Impudent! I may be old, but my heart is young! I can still work alongside the Chairman for another month without a problem!"
Meng Yi, who deserved to be hung from a lamppost, patted Alexia on the shoulder, knocking the beautiful scientist off balance.
"All right. You and Dr. Isaacs will rest in shifts, six hours a day. Any objections?"
Upon hearing that, the boastful Dr. Isaacs burst into tears and shouted, "Thank you for your gracious mercy, Chairman Bai! This old man will sleep first as a token of respect!"
"Plop—"
Dr. Isaacs, who had reached the age when one knew one's destiny, fell to the floor. A rhythmic snore immediately rang out.
Alexia was dumbfounded. So this was the true worth of an old hand?
Unwilling to let Dr. Isaacs have all the glory, Alexia's eyes gleamed fiercely as she thought, You bastard! If you're sleeping, then I'm sleeping too!
"Plop—" ×2
The young female scientist no longer cared about her personal image. She collapsed headfirst and fell asleep in an instant, her snores no less impressive than Dr. Isaacs's.
Meng Yi found the two of them unbearably noisy and ordered the miscellaneous laborers working in shifts to carry them back to their rooms.
More than ten minutes later, Firefly escorted the Red Light Mother, "Elizabeth Green," into the laboratory. Alex, wearing a hood, followed furtively behind her.
Alex took one look inside the incineration room beyond the high-strength tempered glass. The remains of Wesker, apparently undergoing the "calcination process," were faintly visible. Alex immediately sucked in a cold breath and asked weakly, stumbling over his words, "Boss, where's Mr. Wesker?"
"..."
Meng Yi wore the expression of someone recalling an unbearable past. He sighed and said, "Don't mention it. Little Wesker, Little Wesker, he..."
"Sigh, Wesker was a good employee. This year's Employee of the Year at Umbrella Corporation definitely belongs to him."
"Gulp—"
Alex swallowed with difficulty. Hurry, hurry, hurry! Is it still too late to run?
"B-B-B-Boss, you're not going to put me in there to be cremated later, are you?"
"I'm still young. I haven't had children yet. I haven't even spent all the money in my salary account. I don't want to die!"
The fact that Meng Yi could frighten the Humanoid Black Light Virus into this state meant that, in a certain sense, he was already invincible.
"Of course not, kid. Don't be nervous."
Meng Yi smiled with "nuclear kindness" and patiently explained, "At most, I'll draw a few tubes of your blood for research. Don't worry, nothing serious will happen!"
Alex uneasily managed to calm down and was half pushed, half escorted onto the operating table.
Black Light Virus inhibitor injection—
Human anesthetic injection—
The Red Light Mother, unconscious due to having exhausted her stored energy, didn't need so much trouble. A larger dose of Black Light Virus inhibitor would do.
Holding a syringe in his left hand and a scalpel in his right, Meng Yi was excitedly preparing to personally operate on the Red Light Mother and the Humanoid Black Light Virus. Then he remembered that he had nearly forgotten about his "teammate" and said, sharing the benefits fairly:
"Firefly, come to the laboratory in seven days. During the three days before you leave, I'll help you study Entropy Loss Syndrome."
The Silver-Haired Girl shuddered. Her little head shook like a rattle as she repeatedly waved her hands. "I-I... I think Entropy Loss Syndrome is pretty good too."
Wesker's loyal corpse was not yet cold. No, Wesker's corpse was hot, charred, and fragrant.
Alex and Elizabeth Green had only just entered the room before lying on the cold operating tables. No matter how they looked at Meng Yi's methods, something about them seemed deeply sinister.
Firefly possessed the strength to stand against an entire nation, but without a state of mind to match that strength, her aura weakened by more than a little in front of Meng Yi.
The two stared at each other for a while. In the end, Firefly shifted her gaze away, declaring the winner of the "battle."
"Th-Then, all right. At most, at most, you can draw a little blood. Anything more is really impossible!"
Meng Yi stopped while he was ahead, understanding that this was Firefly's limit.
Between long-term and short-term benefits, Meng Yi chose the long-term ones. He was simply too greedy for the Star Cluster Order computer, Erudite Supreme.
"All right. See you in a week."
"By the way, if Brother Luo Ji changes his mind, please let me know."
Firefly nodded like a pecking chick. She only wished the Empire had given her two fewer legs as she fled in panic from the evil laboratory that was like the deepest hell.
After the girl left, Meng Yi returned to his expressionless appearance. First, he drew the high-concentration viral blood from Alex's body, then collected samples of hair, flakes of skin, blood, and other materials from the Red Light Mother.
Albert Wesker couldn't be cleared of suspicion, but Alex was a decent person.
As for that "villainous Brother A" from Abuse 2, Meng Yi declared that Abuse 2 was nothing but a terrible work with a dog's tail tacked onto a sable coat. As for that little black-skinned mud ball, the farther away it rolled, the better.
With a high-precision microscope and Psionic Power probing the Microcosm Domain, the deep structures of the Black Light Virus and Red Light Virus were laid bare.
"What an incredible miracle!"
"The high-concentration virus-infected Supreme Hunter is complete trash compared with these two!"
"Entering, assimilating, altering the cell structure, activating noncoding regions in the new cells and replicating them in large quantities, expanding genetic capacity, dramatically increasing cellular activity, accommodating foreign high-quality Gene Modification to transform the body..."
"This is a miracle that transcends the power of time and drives the rapid 'evolution' of a species!"
