A rare SR gold card like Manuela was only possible after her drug lord father repeatedly synthesized human material to forcefully evolve his daughter Manuela from a blank slate one-star to a rare SR gold card four-star. The process was extremely difficult, not only due to the differences in human physiques but, more importantly, the quality of the virus.
The T-Veronica Virus that Wesker released into the market in the original timeline was already several generations removed, extracted from Steve's corpse, so it was no wonder it was easy to integrate.
But Alexia is different.
She's a true Emperor-tier, directly the highest quality, ultra-rare SSR rainbow gold card.
Using the T-Veronica Virus from Alexia's body for experiments would definitely yield a slightly higher success rate.
Furthermore, there's Alexia's intelligence; this monstrous genius's brain is almost universally capable. As long as she wants to learn, there's almost nothing that can stump her. Therefore, Javier also wanted to use Alexia's brain to help him complete his virus research.
This was what truly made Javier covet Alexia. As for her fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs in human form? Heh heh… She'd probably be beaten back into her giant moth form by Lisa again.
"Hmm…"
"If the G embryo can grow and evolve, I have a ninety percent chance of perfectly controlling her. The other ten percent is an unpredictable variable that even I cannot be sure of. She cannot counteract the G embryo within her, because I now possess the same power as her," Lisa pondered for a moment, chin in hand, then decisively promised again in response to Javier's inquiry. This was her confidence, because Lisa now not only possessed the power of the three-stage evolved G Virus but also the T-Veronica Virus that Alexia had forcefully injected into her.
This resulted in Lisa's parasitic tumor G embryo also containing T-Veronica Virus components.
Therefore, Alexia's body would not be able to detect the presence of the parasitic tumor G embryo, nor would there be any so-called rejection side effects, nor would it be expelled by the power of the T-Veronica Virus.
That G embryo tumor was like a wolf in sheep's clothing, perfectly integrated, as if it were Alexia's own flesh and blood. That's why Lisa had ninety percent confidence in saying she could control Alexia.
And Javier was already a blockhead among gamblers (a gambling monster), and faced with such high odds, he resolutely chose to go all out, instructing Lisa to secure Alexia as a test subject.
"Hey, hey, hey…!"
"Did you see that, Javier? That last shot was mine! How about it? I didn't drag us down, and my marksmanship… no, my cannon-manship was very accurate, right?"
At this moment, seeing that the danger was cleared, Claire and Steve excitedly jogged over from a distance, especially Claire herself, her face beaming with an unstoppable smile. She had just delivered a critical blow to the boss! This wasn't something just anyone could do. She really was the strongest female college student!
"What do you mean…?"
"I helped lift the cannon just now! Without me, Claire, how could you have hit that female monster? Don't hog all the credit, okay? Besides, at that close range, I definitely could have hit her too if you let me shoot. It was just pulling a trigger. What's there to show off about? The weapon's power has nothing to do with you."
Just as Claire was gloating, Steve, who was sweating profusely while carrying the electromagnetic cannon like a laborer, couldn't help but curl his lips and start complaining. There was nothing he could do… As a seventeen-year-old brat, he was very jealous that Claire had been able to hit the mutated Alexia with the electromagnetic cannon just now. That was supposed to be his scene!
Not to mention, he had carried this heavy iron lump all the way here, and Steve's resentment could no longer be contained, as he kept adding fuel to the fire with his words.
However, the seventeen-year-old Steve completely underestimated the nineteen-year-old Claire, the strongest female college student in history. Seeing this brat constantly belittling her, Claire's pretty face instantly darkened. With a crouch, stealthy retreat, she quickly warped behind Steve, hooked her slender arm around his neck, and squeezed tightly.
Here it comes… The Claire-style rear naked choke is formed!
"Steve, I didn't quite hear what you said just now. Could you repeat it for me? Your big sister would really love to hear it again!"
A powerful force erupted from her slender arm, and Steve's face turned red as he struggled wildly, while Claire smiled and leaned close to Steve's ear, asking. Seeing this… realizing the disparity in combat power, Steve decisively and quickly begged for mercy.
There was nothing he could do.
Talking smack was one thing, but he truly couldn't win. As a weakling, if he hadn't been infected with the T-Veronica Virus and mutated, Steve really would have no way to deal with Claire, the strongest female college student in history.
"Alright, alright, stop messing around."
"Speaking of which, what is this iron lump you two are carrying? It looks a bit familiar?"
Javier couldn't be bothered with the high schooler and college student fighting. He waved his hand, feeling the need to stop them, but then he noticed the two people's white metal launcher device and muttered in confusion. Javier seemed to have seen this thing somewhere before.
"An electromagnetic cannon! It's an electromagnetic cannon!"
"Javier, you don't know, but when Steve and I escaped just now, we accidentally stumbled into a genetic engineering Laboratory. It was the Laboratory of the original Alexia, that female monster's father. Apparently, her father had long since realized that his daughter Alexia might make mistakes, so he invented this weapon as a precaution."
"It needs to be charged before it can fire. The energy source is electricity. It can be fired by plugging directly into a power cable, or it can be fired from a disconnected power source. As for its power… you all saw it just now, it's very strong!"
Claire quickly explained in response to Javier's confusion.
After Claire's reminder, Javier also realized that this was indeed the secret weapon that ended Alexia in the original timeline. Javier had originally thought that if Lisa wasn't Alexia's match, he would use this weapon to end Alexia.
He hadn't expected that Claire and Steve, the protagonists, would find it first. It was truly a coincidence…
"Clang—!!!"
"Bang…"
However, just as Javier and the others were about to discuss something else, a flashbang was suddenly thrown into the freezing chamber Laboratory. The timing was perfect, giving almost no one time to react. Just as they turned their heads, the flashbang had already detonated.
With a muffled thud, white sparks scattered like fireworks, and dazzling white light and piercing sonic booms swept outwards.
Undoubtedly, everyone present was affected.
Including Javier himself, the flashbang master. His hearing was deafened, his eyes were filled with blinding light, and he was temporarily blinded, in a world of pure white. After an unknown number of seconds, Javier barely recovered. Just as he reached for the Desert Eagle at his waist, he was stopped by a cold shout:
"Don't move, Wesker—!"
"Hmm…? Wait… Javier! What are you doing here!"
A familiar voice came from the cold shout.
Hearing this, Javier immediately lowered his guard.
Because he had already recognized who had ambushed them: Chris and Enrique, those old guys, had arrived as reinforcements.
That's right, the people who arrived were indeed Chris and Enrique.
They had been piloting a fighter jet, tailing Wesker, but because Wesker's fighter jet was too fast, even with Chris's excellent piloting skills, they almost lost him. Finally, they spotted this Institute in the vast white sky above the South Pole and slowly made an emergency landing.
Therefore, their reinforcement speed was much slower.
After confirming that this Institute had the Umbrella Corporation logo, Chris and Enrique risked infiltrating it. However, the Institute was empty. After searching for a long time, the two finally found the freezing chamber Laboratory. Hearing the commotion inside, Chris thought it was Wesker and decisively threw a flashbang inside.
He hadn't expected that the people inside were not only not Wesker, but familiar old friends, Javier. This made Chris laugh and cry. He was glad he threw a flashbang, as he intended to capture Wesker alive. If he had thrown a High-explosive grenade, it would have been disastrous.
"Brother?!"
"Big bro, how did you get here? Oh, right! You came to rescue me, didn't you! You're too slow, you only arrived after everything was over. What if I had unfortunately died first? Also… honestly, where have you been these past few months? You just left me alone and left without a single word. Don't you know how worried I was?"
When Claire saw that the person who arrived was her brother Chris, her expression was a mix of surprise and anger. Her excitement didn't last long before her sister Claire's barrage of questions began.
This instantly made Chris's expression turn helpless. Sure enough… his own sister was very difficult to deal with! How was he going to explain this to get by—!
As the title says, I'm not working today, so the novel will also take a break. That's it, sorry. The next chapter is Javier's operation, leaving the cheat Lisa at home, and Javier himself going to South America to play, increasing the game difficulty. Alexia will temporarily become a giant moth and be imprisoned as a tool…
Chapter 33: Javier: "I am selfish!"
Facing his sister Claire's barrage of questions, Chris could only helplessly tell her everything. To deal with the Umbrella Corporation and Bio-weapon leakage incidents, he had privately organized an armed force called "BSAA," which stands for Bio-terrorism Security Assessment Alliance.
Of course, this was currently just Chris's personal idea.
And the pitiful organization currently only had three or four members, with Chris and Enrique being among them. Chris was currently planning to recruit comrades from other branches, as well as old friends from the S.T.A.R.S, Barton and Jill, to assist, hoping to have more manpower to help him deal with the Umbrella Corporation.
After all, everyone had a past grudge with the Umbrella Corporation and would have the desire to resist and fight against the Umbrella Corporation, rather than just clocking in for work. Chris temporarily didn't need pure mercenaries.
However, undoubtedly, it would be very difficult for such an unofficial small team to carry out missions in various countries, because they simply had no authorization. On the contrary, if they acted without permission, they would be deemed terrorists by various national organizations.
Therefore, Chris was currently actively negotiating with high-level officials from various countries, explaining the seriousness of Bio-weapon leaks, including the Raccoon City incident, in order to seek the protection and recognition of these high-level officials.
Hearing these explanations, Claire's expression barely softened. Firstly, her older brother was willing to tell her the truth. Secondly, her older brother Chris was not as reckless as she, his sister, had imagined, going against the Umbrella Corporation alone. Instead, he would organize manpower, which surprised Claire.
However, since they were talking about organizing manpower, the free-spirited Claire naturally couldn't resist the temptation and raised her arm, indicating that she wanted to join too. But she was quickly rejected with a darkened face by her older brother Chris. The reason he didn't tell Claire his whereabouts was precisely because he was afraid his sister would follow him into danger.
Now, it had come true.
He intended for Claire to continue her university studies, graduate, and then pursue a master's degree or other high-level education to live a good life. What kind of sense did it make for her to follow him into danger? Therefore, he decisively refused without any hesitation.
However, although he refused his sister Claire, Chris still tried to invite Javier. As a former S.T.A.R.S teammate and based on his performance in the Mansion Villa mission, Chris really hoped Javier would join his organization to help. After all, Javier's abilities were obvious to all, and his skill in dealing with Bio-monsters was exceptional.
Furthermore, he was one of the few surviving escapees from the Raccoon City incident and had a thorough understanding of Bio-weapons.
Chris felt that he desperately needed a talent like Javier to join his organization to help. Unfortunately… Javier also decisively refused.
Are you kidding? Isn't that just looking for death?
Of course, it wasn't that Chris's charm wasn't enough; didn't you see that as soon as Claire mentioned it, Steve eagerly raised his hand, wanting to join, with an expression like he wanted to get close to his brother-in-law, which made Javier helplessly curl his lips.
Leaving aside the passive skill of the "Chris" family, which actively transfers bad luck to other cannon fodder, causing a rapid surge in mortality rates, Javier didn't want to die due to the butterfly effect. Furthermore, Chris was currently just a lone commander. His words sounded good, saying he was convincing high-level officials from various countries to acknowledge and support him?
In reality, currently, high-level officials from various countries do not attach importance to Bio-weapons, making it difficult for them to acknowledge and support an organization with such limited personnel as Chris's. In the eyes of these high-level officials, Chris's team is no different from mercenaries, so what's there to attach importance to or support?
Therefore, it wouldn't be until around 2003, when the collapse of the Umbrella Corporation led to a large influx of Bio-weapons into the market, causing large-scale Bio-hazard outbreaks of varying sizes, that the attention of high-level officials from various countries would turn to this danger, and they would remember Chris's "BSAA" organization.
Moreover, even then, although high-level officials from various countries acknowledged and supported the "BSAA" organization created by Chris, it was quickly taken over and hollowed out by these same high-level officials. Because the real power was held by the government, and while the government granted power to the "BSAA" organization, it also demanded its own infiltration.
In short, the "BSAA" organization indirectly sought the protection of high-level officials from various countries, and after gaining a large amount of funding and power, it also became merely an organization under the command of these high-level officials.
Chris also completely transformed from a lone commander into a busy, constantly traveling junior military officer. This treatment… wasn't satisfying. Although he didn't have many people under him before, he was at least a commander. Now he had people, but he was just a junior military officer who was ordered around by high-level officials.
Coupled with the political struggles of Western powers like the United States and Britain, the "BSAA" organization sometimes became merely a weapon for high-level officials to attack each other.
Looking at it from all angles, it seemed very unfree, and the future wasn't great.
