Unusual Teammates

"Progenitor Virus?"

"Red Light Virus?"

After surveying the surroundings and confirming that the area was temporarily safe, Meng Yi began thinking rapidly.

As a "Mind System Psionic," he had integrated the memories of his previous and current lives during his spare time, forging them into a "Memory Palace." The process had been difficult, but Meng Yi had completed it.

Therefore, his highest education was still at the doctoral level. Rather than becoming an illiterate fool because he had received no education in this life, he had improved considerably.

He entered the two somewhat familiar terms "Progenitor Virus" and "Red Light Virus" into the "search bar."

The "Memory Palace" instantly brought up numerous memories from his previous life.

Progenitor Virus: An RNA virus and the origin of the Biohazard Crisis game and film series. It originally came from the plant known as the "Stairway to the Sun" on the altar of the West African Dibaya Tribe.

Umbrella Corporation subsequently researched the "Progenitor Virus," developing a series of mutant viruses: "Progenitor Virus + leech gene = T-Virus," "Progenitor Virus + Lisa Gene = G-Virus," "T-Virus + G gene = T/G-Virus," "Progenitor Virus + ant gene = Veronica Virus," "Progenitor Virus + T-Virus + G-Virus + Veronica Virus + parasitic organism Las Plagas = Ouroboros Virus"... and so on.

Red Light Virus: A virus capable of altering the forms of living species, and the origin of the Prototype Series. It originated from Elizabeth, the viral carrier of Hope Town. It was the predecessor of the "Black Light Virus" and possessed the potential to devour and evolve.

Distant memories flooded back, as clear as though they had happened yesterday.

His mind raced, and within a few breaths, he had reviewed those memories. Brand New doubts emerged.

"Did the Biohazard Crisis series follow the film version or the game version?"

In the film version, the T-Virus leaked beneath Raccoon City and could spread through air, bodily fluids, biological vectors, food, contact, and other means. Blue Star's Modern Army and information-based controls might as well not have existed; even a tiny company could run rampant.

In the video game version, the virus leaked from the Raccoon City Mansion, and Umbrella Corporation was immediately carved up by various nations. When a whale fell, all creatures fed; Various Demons and Monsters rapidly rose by gnawing on Umbrella Corporation's remains. Still, the world as a whole remained within the bounds of order, which was relatively more reasonable.

Clearing away his wild thoughts, Meng Yi began reviewing the Prototype Series after finishing his thoughts on the "Progenitor Virus."

The "Red Light Virus" and "Black Light Virus" lacked airborne transmission methods. Their devouring and evolutionary abilities were troublesome, but as long as they were crushed in their infancy, they could not cause much of a stir.

Wasn't the famous "Brother A" beaten into Scum of the Earth in Manhattan City by Blackwatch, a special operations unit under the Bald Eagle?

How strong was Blackwatch?

A zombie crisis could erupt on one street, while life continued in perfect order on the street right beside it.

Even so, Blackwatch was merely a strategic unit under the Bald Eagle.

Zombies? Zombie dogs? Lickers? Tyrants? Mutant creatures? Perfect virus fusion bodies?

How about some modern firepower coverage?

Thermobaric Bombs, White Phosphorus Bombs, Intercontinental Missiles, Tactical Nuclear Bombs, Strategic Nuclear Bombs—full firepower coverage.

Tanks and armored vehicles could flatten the ground in a steel torrent. Carrier fleets could blockade the seas, while fighter jets and bombers could blanket the skies.

The stockpiles and reserves of Blue Star's top rogues were more than enough to plow through tens of billions of zombie mutants three times over!

Virus-infected individuals? How many Heavy Combined Arms Brigades could they withstand?

The ultimate dungeon of the Five Big Rogues: once the Top Three Rogues activated Great Wall Watch, Winter is Coming, and Raging Sea and Surging Waves, what the hell was a virus?

The Bottom Two Rogues' "The Iron Tower Still Stands" and "Oliver Twist" should not come out and Lose Face.

As for France, it could only win wars when led by women, foreigners, and short people. No one could capture Paris before France surrendered.

The British Empire had already become a fading ray of Setting Sun Over Western Hills. Its former might was long gone.

"Since this is a normally developing world, then everyone's intelligence should be at a normal level. A virus capable of airborne transmission plus a potentially existing Blue Star Modern Army... the latter is more likely the reason this dungeon's upper limit is level 39."

Meng Yi stopped dwelling on the Destructive Power of modern armies. There was even less need to waste his thoughts on Evolution Paradise's difficulty classifications now.

He would have to be out of his mind to confront an information-based army head-on. Why should a cultured man resort to fighting and killing?

"Or perhaps the level 39 difficulty should be attributed to the rather vague term 'demons'? A Composite Virus breeding poison insects, eventually producing some ultimate poison king?"

If only viruses were considered, then in terms of wide-area threat, the Biohazard Crisis series had superior transmission methods.

But in terms of an individual's potential limit, the viruses from the Prototype Series had a higher ceiling.

Black Light Virus Alex, only eighteen days after its birth, had evolved to the point of surviving a Tactical Nuclear Bomb strike head-on. He was practically stomping repeatedly on Newton and Darwin's coffins.

In less than ten seconds, Meng Yi had finished considering the world background provided by "Evolution Paradise."

Other than the still-unclear "demons," the threat level was not particularly high.

He was not worried in the slightest. A "Mind System Psionic" in a conventional modern society was a Dimensional Reduction Strike.

He could manipulate Lifeforms with sound minds. Zombies with only instincts remaining would be even easier!

He could broadcast simple action commands across a wide area like a signal tower, interfering with the action logic of brain-dead zombies.

Given enough time, gathering a zombie tide numbering in the tens of millions would be effortless. Even a Zombie King from an apocalypse setting would have to acknowledge his expertise.

He had finally seized an opportunity to change his fate. Simply living for a month? What a waste that would be.

As for where he currently was, what he could obtain during the Selection Trial, and how to make the most efficient use of the month... those minor details could be considered slowly later.

His immediate priority was dealing with his two "teammates," because the last to awaken—the ordinary adult male—had opened his eyes.

In the messy meeting room, one person lay against each of the three walls other than the one by the door.

Besides Meng Yi, there was one man and one woman.

During Meng Yi's earlier mental scan, the Male Teammate's Spirit Strength had only been at the level of an Ordinary Person. His clothes were soaked by icy water, and he showed signs of catching a cold and developing a fever.

The Female Teammate's Spirit Strength was strange. It was like a blazing fire, yet also like the last flickering ember swaying in the wind.

If his detection had not been mistaken, he had been the first to awaken, while that woman had been second, less than half a minute behind him.

That was rather interesting.

A beginner Selection Dungeon had Meng Yi, who possessed innate high-level Psionic Power; a woman in a strange condition who gave Meng Yi a sense of danger; and a man who appeared utterly unremarkable.

"Are you two awake? Let's talk."

The man Smiled bitterly and said with somewhat dejected Self-deprecation.

"My name is Luo Ji. Not long ago, I accidentally fell into an Ice Lake, then was unlucky enough to be chosen by this damned 'Evolution Paradise.'"

Luo Ji? Fell into an Ice Lake?

Meng Yi extracted the keywords and quickly confirmed his teammate's identity through the "Memory Palace."

All right, take that back.

None of the three teammates in this Selection Dungeon were simple characters.

What, was this supposed to make The Chaos Gods of the Warhammer Worldview clash with the Returner Civilization of the Three-Body Worldview?
