“Beep, beep…”
Over 200 miles away, in the spotless base of Umbrella Company with all kinds of biochemical production equipment, Wesker’s communication device disconnected. Quickly after, someone else contacted him.
Upon seeing the name that appeared on the communications device, a stream of data flowed across Wesker’s shades, and the signal connected. “William? Finally, a reply!”
“Wesker, what did you do!? What did you do to Sulli!?” After the device was connected, William’s voice of exasperation immediately came out.
“Relax, Sulli is fine. Actually, she’s more than fine, and she’s probably asleep right now. However, I remember Sulli contracted a fatal disease when she was born. If she does not receive the corresponding drug within a timeframe, she might not be that well…” Although it was quite impossible to tell Wesker’s expression from under his shades, his lip had started to curve slightly upward.
“Damn it, what you want? Why did you kidnap Sulli!?” William’s voice was filled with anger as well as worry.
“I want you to hand over the original G-virus strain and everything, including experiment data and any other information related to the virus, to me.” Wesker did not waste any time with chit-chat and spoke of his objective.
“The G-virus, so that’s your objective!” William, a NPC, said with a suspicious tone.
“That’s right, the G-virus! Although you destroyed all the experiment data when you resigned, unfortunately for you, when I was going through all the stuff you left behind, I still found small traces and signs. That’s what you’d expect from the method used by an amateur, and it’s way too rough. But William, I still have to say that I’m slightly impressed by you. I always thought it was weird. Since Sulli’s disease is a fatal one, even the best drug companies in the world wouldn’t be able to help her, so theoretically, she wouldn’t have been able to live past five years old. However, unexpectedly, you were actually using the Evolution Virus to treat her. The data of the G-virus actually showed that it is even more perfect than the T-virus. Even a child can take it!” Wesker’s eyes behind the shades glowed.
“You went through my stuff? Wait a minute, didn’t you get fired by the company before I resigned when you were found to be conducting illegal and inhumane experiments with the citizens of Roguetown and was put on the Wanted ‘S’ list by the Federal Bureau of Investigations? God damn it! I understand now! The Umbrella Company fired you on the surface, but in truth, everything that happened in Roguetown was authorized by the company! All ten of the viral infection incidents in various cities did not come from the mutated Evolution Virus that the rebel army created. It’s because, from the data, the symptoms shown by the people infected are the same as the symptoms of being infected by the T-virus! Frightening. You’ve actually used more than a million people for your experiment. This is an act of pure evil!” William’s voice showed that he was quite shocked.
“William Berken, you should not lecture me from your moral high ground. Did you not conduct human experiments by using prisoners to test your Evolution Virus, just to save your daughter? In fact, I believe you are the first person to propose working with adventurers to research and develop the Evolution Virus. It’s just that the company arranged for me to take over the project later.” Wesker said coldly as his expression remained the same as before upon hearing William’s conclusion.
“Apart from that, let me remind you that your daughter is inside Silvermoon City right now. At the moment, over 70% of the city’s population has been completely infected and among the infected, the number of Tyrants is around 1,000. But you can be rest assured that your daughter is currently located inside a secret base that local adventurers created. At the very least, it will not be completely overrun by the infected. But… if time extends, that might be hard to say. Also, I don’t know if the adventurers are able to take care of Sulli properly. You should know, they are just a bunch of people who only have battle and profits on their minds!” Wesker added.
“What? Silvermoon City? Wesker, have you gone mad? How could you put Sulli…” William sounded clearly worried and anxious. He did not expect Wesker to put his daughter in such a dangerous place.
“That’s enough, William. I don’t want to continue this chit-chat. You have one day to hand me the G-virus, otherwise, I really cannot guarantee that Sulli will be in one piece.” Wesker’s cold voice interrupted William’s angry roar as he directly gave him an ultimatum.
“Wesker, I will give you all my research results on the G-virus. But there’s no way for me to do it within a day, it’s because right now, I am…” William trailed off.
“No, you have one day! William, I remember you’re not a person to mess around. You should know that your daughter is only seven and a half years old. You wouldn’t want her to stay alone in an unfamiliar place for a few days, would you?” Wesker reminded him coldly.
“God damn it… Alright, one day. You have to promise to protect Sulli. Not one hair on her should be harmed. Otherwise, not only will you not get the G-virus, you’ll be paying a price you wouldn’t be able to imagine…” William’s voice was filled with anger with that threat. He quickly disconnected the communications device.
…
“A price I can’t imagine… Are you relying on the G-virus? Heh…” Wesker raised his expressionless head as he sat on the silver metallic chair.
On a transparent screen that took up two-thirds of the room, a 3D virtual image showing all kinds of infected beings filling up the entirety of Silvermoon City detected by the remote sensing monitor appeared.
“The impact this time is quite decent. It’s not difficult to have a few suitable human mutations with such a large number of infected beings. However, the G-virus’ research data really does seem perfect. If we can get our hands on the original strand, we might even be able to create new biochemical warriors stronger than the Tyrant. Hmm? What’s this?” Wesker’s eyes under the shades scanned across an area close to the edge of the city, and he was slightly startled.
A stream of data flowed past his shades, and the image on the screen changed quickly. Then, an image recorded from the sky appeared.
The corpse of a Tyrant with all of its arms and claws severed, its head crushed to pieces like a watermelon, lay on the ground, not moving an inch. In addition to that, on the ground surrounding the Tyrant’s corpse were over a dozen dead zombies with their skulls pierced by some sharp knives lying on the ground.
On the image, only an adventurer holding a dark red military knife and wearing a gunner’s combat uniform dyed red by blood stood in the middle of everything. It was only due to the angle that he could not see the adventurer’s face.
Wesker frowned behind his shades. Another stream of data flowed through his shades, turning on the quick replay of the scene on the monitor.
“Someone as strong as a Tyrant actually appeared from among the adventurers… It looks like we need to increase our research pace in trying to strengthen our biochemical weapons research after we get the G-virus. It’s a good thing we now have a huge number of experiment infected beings that we can use.”
“Beep, beep…”
