As the elevator slowly descended, Ada and Luis's hearts sank.
To be honest… they were a bit afraid they might not make it out of this Laboratory today.
After all, they had learned so many secrets and seen so many things.
If this was the Umbrella Corporation, Ada was certain she would be silenced.
Now, they could only pray that the woman next to Javier, with her monstrously cold eyes, wouldn't have any ideas about them.
At the very least, Ada and Luis didn't want to be used as test subjects—
"Buzz…!"
"Ding—!"
With a clear chime, the elevator reached the basement.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Ada and Luis finally saw the true appearance of this so-called basement.
It wasn't as large as they had imagined, at least not as massive as the G Virus Research Institute that William had in Raccoon City.
Instead, it was a modest-sized Institute.
No… it should even be called a Laboratory to be more precise.
There were only a few rooms inside.
The long corridor was divided into two areas: a disinfection zone and a normal passage.
When experimental personnel entered or left, they had to go into the disinfection zone to adjust their attire, preventing any viruses on their bodies from infecting the outside world.
The disinfection zone also blocked the possibility of viral contamination.
Even if a virus inside unfortunately leaked, with the disinfection zone's barrier, the virus would not spread to the outside world.
Furthermore, this setup was only for ordinary people like Ada and Luis, because with Lisa's monstrous physique, she could not be infected by the viruses in the Laboratory.
Even if they leaked, it would have no effect on her.
Therefore, this device was merely for show…
After passing through the long corridor and the disinfection isolation area, Ada and Luis, as guests, were also forced to put on Laboratory white coats, gloves, and masks to avoid contact infection, which could lead to viral infection and death.
Ahead were several Laboratories, neither too big nor too small, filled with densely packed boxes of white mice.
Due to Javier's orders, human experimentation was temporarily forbidden, so most experiments could only be conducted on these white mice.
The reason white mice are called white mice is not because they are specific experimental subjects, but because white mice, like humans, are mammals, and their DNA is largely similar to human DNA.
They have over ninety percent similarity, which allows for the maximum simulation of human experiments.
Although some details cannot be 100% simulated, but the general situation is not much different.
Among them, pig DNA also has a similarity of up to ninety-seven percent with human DNA, but because pigs are too large, they are difficult to control as experimental subjects, and feeding and excretion are very troublesome.
Smaller white mice are better suited for experiments.
These white mice before them were all part of Lisa's experimental material.
So far… hundreds of white mice have become her victims.
But even so, it was still much more humane than human experimentation.
The nearby cabinet was filled with a large amount of data, all recorded by Lisa each time.
She was truly diligent.
From being unable to speak clearly due to a stutter and even unable to express her thoughts normally, with a social gap of nearly twenty or thirty years, to now becoming an excellent biologist through learning, it fully demonstrated Lisa's talent and her hard work.
Of course, it's also possible that Lisa absorbed too much Nemesis-α Parasite, which resulted in her intelligence being superior to that of ordinary people, allowing her to learn so quickly.
Their gaze once again left the Laboratory material room full of white mice, and Ada and Luis's eyes slowly shifted to another Laboratory.
The equipment in this Laboratory was much more sophisticated, with various computers for data calculation and recording, a large number of test tubes and reagents, and huge glass nutrient solution tanks.
Among them, there was also a most special row of samples, where the virus was a striking purple, and there were crystal-like presences.
Ada recognized that as a G-Virus sample at a glance.
She had stolen G-Virus samples in Raccoon City, with Javier's personal help.
She hadn't expected that even after she had resold them… Javier would still have new G-Virus samples.
This was truly unexpected.
These samples alone would be enough for the US Government's virus researchers to fight over.
So, for such a small place to possess such precious samples truly surprised Ada.
There are a large number of virus samples and computers here.
This should be where Lisa usually stays, specializing in researching how to create various virus vaccines—
And finally, Ada and Luis glanced at the innermost room.
Compared to the Laboratories outside, which were filled with technology and the smell of disinfectant, the innermost room looked more like a lounge.
But the door was made of fully transparent tempered glass, allowing a clear view of the interior.
A noble blonde woman of breathtaking beauty lay on a pink, Middle Ages-designed large bed.
Beside her were a plate of fruit and many snack bags, with a small dining table propped on her lap.
However, it wasn't food on it, but a laptop, which seemed to be playing various noisy, brain-dead TV dramas?
The entire room was also decorated in a Middle Ages style, with various flower pots, oil paintings, and an ancient dressing table.
It was as if a noble princess from the Middle Ages had suddenly come into contact with modern technology and become captivated and engrossed by a portable toy like a laptop.
And the breathtakingly beautiful blonde noble woman inside was none other than Alexia…!
After Javier left, Lisa and Alexia, the two women, reached an agreement.
Alexia would use her knowledge and expertise to guide Lisa on her shortcomings in biology, while Lisa would provide Alexia with whatever she desired as much as possible.
And so… Alexia, who was originally imprisoned within a huge bulletproof glass, was directly transferred to a luxurious prison room.
The interior decorations were even in her favorite Middle Ages castle style, which was truly odd.
Although they were enemies, as they chatted, Lisa and Alexia became close as sisters who could talk about anything.
After all, both were monsters, and they could indeed get along very well due to their shared experience.
At the same time, this was also the real reason why Lisa progressed so quickly.
After all, with the help of Alexia, this genius aunt, learning quickly seemed like a very normal thing.
The two did not interfere with each other's lives.
As long as there was an endless supply of snacks, fruits, and internet, Alexia had no problem staying in the basement for her entire life.
After all, she could see the outside world through the internet, and she had Lisa as a companion to chat with every day, so she wouldn't feel lonely or depressed.
And so… the once arrogant genius girl, Alexia, had completely transformed into the ultimate shut-in girl—!
Of course, this was mainly due to the severe blow Lisa had dealt her.
After all, Alexia's Dao Heart had been shattered by Lisa.
Her fifteen years of effort had gone down the drain, and she had been surpassed by a monstrous anomaly in just half an hour.
Alexia had completely let go.
It was meaningless, utterly meaningless.
Anyway, her current lifespan was very long, so why not enjoy life first?
World domination could wait.
Ahem, actually, the shattered Dao Heart and letting go were secondary.
What truly affected Alexia was the G-Virus embryo Lisa had planted in her body.
William, infected with the G-Virus, would produce G-Virus embryos in females for reproduction; this was a characteristic of the G-Virus.
Lisa, however, was omnivorous, and she also produced a G-Virus embryo in Alexia's body when she was on the verge of death.
But this embryo was not for Alexia to have children; it was to threaten Alexia.
Alexia had spent fifteen years perfecting the fusion of the T-Veronica Virus.
Imagine, if another virus, the G-Virus, suddenly erupted within her body, the T-Veronica Virus and the G-Virus would begin to compete, devouring each other to see who had more right to dominate the body.
And Alexia would then be unable to withstand the power of the two viruses, falling into distortion and monsterization.
She might not die, but she would absolutely 100% lose herself and become a true monster—!
But this was precisely what Alexia absolutely did not want.
The reason she spent fifteen years perfectly fusing the T-Veronica Virus was that she didn't want to become a pile of infected flesh, but to maintain a perfect human body and mind.
This was the most perfect state, and precisely because of this, Lisa had her by the neck.
If Alexia dared to betray her, Lisa would detonate the G-Virus embryo in her body.
At that time, Alexia would still be plunged into the frenzy of two viruses devouring each other.
Therefore, Alexia dared not defy Lisa's orders and could only live under her patronage, and the method of mutual exchange was her only dignity.
It wasn't that she didn't want to rebel, but that she simply couldn't resist—!
At the same time, Alexia also tried to absorb the G-Virus embryo in her body, but unfortunately, she did not have Lisa's monstrous talent.
Being able to perfectly fuse two viruses in just half an hour, to absorb the G-Virus embryo in her body without side effects, Alexia might have to spend another decade or so.
So… facing this long experience bar— Alexia chose to give up.
If she couldn't break free, then she would choose to enjoy it!
After all, life is like being forced to eat lemons; if you can't resist, then learn to enjoy it, which is why she became such a shut-in!
"Alexia…?!
"How is this possible? Wasn't that genius girl already missing? How could she appear here, and… her appearance has matured so much?!"
Looking at the blonde woman in the transparent room, Ada said incredulously.
As an intelligence operative moving between various forces, Ada possessed a great deal of information, and as the once famous genius girl of the Umbrella Corporation, Alexia, Ada was naturally very aware of her.
She had seen Alexia's photo and heard about the deeds of this genius girl.
At a young age, barely a teenager, she became one of the Umbrella Corporation's research directors, holding the same position as William and Wesker, and her talent was even more terrifying than theirs.
William had more than once felt the immense pressure from Alexia.
That feeling of a high school student, younger than himself, whose mind possessed intelligence and knowledge hundreds of times richer than his own.
Wesker even abandoned the path of virus research because of this.
He couldn't even surpass William, his junior, so naturally, he couldn't surpass Alexia.
Not wanting to waste time on research, Wesker shifted to the path of practical action, specializing in executing missions to raise his status within the Umbrella Corporation.
It's just a pity that a few years later, after Alexia invented the prototype of the T-Veronica Virus, she mysteriously disappeared, like a fleeting moment.
No one could find a trace of Alexia, as if she had evaporated into thin air.
In desperation, the Umbrella Corporation declared her dead.
Although Ada had heard news that there were signs of the T-Veronica Virus appearing in the Umbrella Corporation's abandoned Antarctic Research Institute, she had never expected Alexia to still be alive…
Moreover, compared to her original photo, Ada found that this genius girl had matured a lot, transforming from a teenage high school student into a mature woman.
Especially those deep, intellectual eyes, as if she was even more "feminine" than Ada herself, coupled with her breathtakingly beautiful face, flawless from every angle, all of which could be described with the word "perfect."
In a sense, if it weren't for the added fondness for Ada's mixed-race appearance, the current Alexia was truly the number one in terms of beauty.
Purely in terms of appearance, without considering anything else, Alexia was perfect—
"Alexia…"
Of course, it wasn't just Ada; even Javier, as the owner of the villa, looked at this scene with a strange expression, because he didn't know when Alexia had gotten out.
After all, the T-Veronica Virus in her body was very dangerous and could release toxic gas at any time to infect the entire United States…
"It's alright, Javier,"
