"Believe me, she wouldn't dare to act recklessly. We made a deal: she helps me research viruses, and I provide her with living supplies,"
"If she dares to leak the virus, she will be completely engulfed by the mutual devouring of the G-Virus and the T-Veronica Virus. Although Alexia has great ambition, she values her life even more…"
Facing Javier's surprise, Lisa stepped forward and slowly explained. Releasing Alexia privately was her own decision, so Lisa didn't want Javier to misunderstand.
After all, if she were to research alone, it would be difficult to make any progress with biochemical viruses. Out of helplessness, Lisa decided to make a deal with Alexia. Of course, this was only possible under the premise that Lisa could perfectly suppress Alexia.
Otherwise, Lisa would have completely annihilated Alexia back at the Antarctic Research Institute…
"Buzz…"
"Crack—!"
Alexia, who was in the isolation room, also noticed the arrival of Javier and the others. She slowly put down her laptop. Dressed in a purple silk nightgown, she stepped out with her fair, long legs. The glass door of the isolation room opened, and Alexia leaned against the doorway, quietly looking at everyone and greeting them:
"Lisa, it's so lively today."
"Did your man bring so many guests?"
Her waist-length golden waterfall hair was loosely scattered behind her, and the thin purple silk nightgown draped over her perfect figure.
The expanse of white skin on her chest seemed about to spill out, and her fair neck was as proud as a white swan.
Her perfect face quietly scanned Lisa beside her, then provocatively glanced at Javier in the distance. Alexia spoke indifferently.
At this moment, Alexia was very blatant. It wasn't that her figure was blatantly displayed; although her perfect figure was alluring, any man would feel a stir of excitement and want to reach out and try to touch it.
But unfortunately, Javier was the sole exception.
He wasn't interested in Alexia. It wasn't that she wasn't beautiful, but rather that she was too beautiful, to the point that Javier felt a sense of uncanniness, as if this woman was entirely made of high-tech components.
Although there was no sense of fakeness seen specifically, Javier still felt this way deep down. Furthermore, Javier always felt that this woman's sexual orientation wasn't quite right.
She liked both men and women… No… she could even like any gender.
What she truly liked most should be powerful individuals like herself. That's right—he was talking about the silly 'aunt' Lisa beside her.
Ever since Alexia was brought back from the Antarctic Research Institute, Javier's feeling grew stronger. He always felt that Alexia's target was Lisa.
This woman was only interested in Lisa, who had the ability to enslave her. It was a very typical'strength-worshipping' personality: whoever can defeat me, I will obey.
Moreover, Lisa and she were of the same kind, both Infected, and both very powerful.
Therefore, Javier seriously suspected that Alexia had designs on Lisa, especially since she personally taught Lisa to study biology and research viruses. This was definitely not just a simple transaction; there was also the intention to draw her in.
Especially the look in her eyes just now. Alexia provocatively glanced at Javier, a provocation just like a love rival competing for affection.
This made Javier very helpless. Out of nowhere, his home was almost 'stolen,' and the person trying to 'dig up his corner' was a pervert who liked both men and women.
How was he supposed to deal with this? What, you say to conquer this pervert too… Uh… No, no, no!
Javier wasn't interested in perfect androids made of high-tech—!
Asking him to pursue Alexia would probably be a very difficult task.
"You're living quite comfortably, Alexia. You've got a Middle Ages castle style and computers. Are you preparing to slack off, or are you secretly plotting other schemes, just trying to lull me into a false sense of security?"
Seeing Alexia walk out brazenly and even provocatively glance at him, Javier didn't give her a pleasant look either.
He pulled out his modified Desert Eagle, and the dark muzzle immediately pointed at Alexia's head.
"Heh heh~ Such a petty man. If you're too possessive, no woman will like someone like you. This is the dignity I deserve after our transaction."
"Anyway, I won't run out, and I have a ticking time bomb inside me. What schemes could I possibly have? What… have you become so timid that you don't even trust Lisa's abilities anymore?" Facing Javier's warning, Alexia sneered.
Her slender, fair, long legs slowly approached, and a strange floral scent wafted into Javier's nostrils, making him frown. It was a perfume scent mixed with over a dozen flowers.
Although it smelled good, Javier knew he shouldn't inhale it, or he would fall for this madwoman's trick. So he simply took a step back.
But Alexia seemed to find something amusing and relentlessly pursued him. Her messy golden hair and delicate, beautiful face drew closer.
This woman was very tall, around 1.75 meters or 5.7 feet. As they got closer, her forehead was almost touching Javier's nose. She was practically a dangerous succubus, with a slight curve to her lips, intentionally or unintentionally seducing him.
Especially her chest, barely covered by the thin purple nightgown, a glimpse of white was fully visible.
But unfortunately, a true man would not be interested in something akin to silicone. As a gentleman, Javier quickly regained his composure, pressing the cold Desert Eagle against Alexia's fair, swan-like neck, then swiftly pulling the trigger!
"Bang—!!!" With a loud bang, a gunshot suddenly echoed in the underground Laboratory. The powerful Desert Eagle immediately pierced through Alexia's head, but unfortunately, no crimson blood or brain matter splattered out.
Alexia's perfect, delicate face also turned grayish-white in an instant, transforming like putty into the T-Veronica plant queen face seen at the Antarctic Research Institute.
"I told you, don't try to provoke me, or I don't mind teaching you a lesson, Alexia. Don't get too carried away. You can resist right now if you want, but the electromagnetic particle cannon in the Laboratory will continue to turn you to ashes. Your father specially made that for you, his filial daughter. You probably don't want to experience that long-lost paternal love again, do you?" After one shot, Javier warned with a cold tone.
Alexia didn't die, and didn't even have a proper wound, but her expression was unusually grim. Her eyes, which were as beautiful as jewels, were now staring at Javier like a venomous snake. If Lisa hadn't been nearby, Alexia would have indeed wanted to strangle Javier.
But she couldn't. Not only could she not defeat Lisa now, but she also couldn't defeat this damned man in front of her. Just as Javier had warned, her damned father had anticipated her rebellion and had developed a single-soldier electromagnetic particle cannon in advance.
It wasn't an electromagnetic gun that launched steel projectiles using electromagnetism, but a weapon that could truly fire powerful, high-temperature electromagnetic beams. One shot could reduce Alexia's body to nothing, vaporizing even her cells.
That was a weapon Javier had brought back from the Antarctic Research Institute, specifically to prevent Alexia's betrayal. Upon hearing this warning, Alexia could only show an unpleased expression, letting out a cold snort.
She spit out the bullet from her mouth and returned to the isolation room without looking back, signaling her submission to Javier and indicating that she wouldn't freely enter and exit in front of him. Javier was very satisfied with this.
What's the joke about 'destroying a flower'? Women are meant to be cherished… What the hell?!
Alexia was even more formidable than him. A slight carelessness and he could fall into this madwoman's hands. Moreover, this woman wanted to 'dig up his corner' and be his love rival. Since she was a love rival, how could Javier show weakness?!
"Uh…" Meanwhile, seeing the conflict resolved, Luis and Ada, as guests, stared at everything before them dumbfounded. What happened today had completely shaken their worldview.
What was all this? Was this how big shots talked? If you can fight, don't talk nonsense?
"Cough cough… Alright, Javier, stop messing around and come over here with me. This is the perfect T-Virus sample, with no side effects, because it has already been experimented on. It can enhance the physical qualities of organisms and won't cause them to go berserk, but it will inherit the characteristic of gluttony. Under normal circumstances, there won't be gluttony, but if power is overused, a large amount of food will need to be consumed to recover."
"Under normal circumstances, an ordinary person consumes 2500-3000 calories per day, but you will need several times that amount, roughly 10000 calories per day. However, I don't consider this a side effect. If you're too lazy to eat, you can also gain strength by taking diluted T-Virus antidote. Similar to the G-Virus, the T-Virus gains more satisfaction by devouring powerful life forms, but it doesn't absorb power like the G-Virus."
Interrupting Javier and Alexia from continuing their confrontation, Lisa cleared her throat and quickly pulled Javier towards the nearby laboratory.
To be honest, Lisa could actually see Alexia's intentions, so she was happy that Javier was competing for her.
But the most important thing was to show the T-Virus sample.
Explaining as she led the way, Lisa quickly brought Javier in front of a green annular glass vial. The liquid inside was the T-Virus sample. Unlike the T-Virus samples on the market, this newly improved T-Virus sample would not make the host go berserk or cause skin necrosis.
Instead, it had the effect of strengthening the body. Although not as powerful as the G-Virus, it still had a strengthening effect, so why not use it?
When the G-Virus could also be improved to a version without side effects, then he could inject that. After all, Lisa herself had started slowly this way. At first, she was injected with the T-Virus, and after not dying, she was successively injected with other viruses, eventually fusing to create the G-Virus—!
"Are you sure there are no side effects…?" It wasn't Javier who asked, but Ada and Luis, the guests. Both of them once again looked at the green annular glass vial in front of them with disbelief.
Inside was actually something the Umbrella Corporation had once dreamed of! The perfect T-Virus without side effects, which the Umbrella Corporation couldn't develop in a short time, was actually produced by such an inconspicuous small workshop in front of them. This was indeed very hard to believe.
"There will be no problems over ninety-eight percent of the time… But even if there are problems, it doesn't matter. I have a backup plan to dilute the virus's power, which won't turn the user into an Infected."
Facing the doubts, Lisa still answered confidently. That's right, even if it failed, it didn't matter. Because of Lisa's own existence, she could use the power of the Nemesis-α Parasite to directly insert into Javier's body.
If the virus's power got out of control, Lisa could help suck it out, diluting the virus's rampant power, so Javier wouldn't have any accidents. Lisa had made complete preparations before suggesting that Javier undergo viral enhancement.
If she hadn't been fully prepared, she wouldn't want Javier to turn into an ugly Infected—! Of course, this also included Lisa's own selfish motives. As a human, Javier's current body was too fragile.
Even if Lisa wanted to forcibly fulfill her G-Virus reproductive desires, the other party had to be able to withstand it. So Lisa urgently hoped that Javier could strengthen his body as soon as possible.
"Okay… Maybe in a few days. I want to adjust my body to its optimal state before undergoing viral enhancement. Also, I have another interesting experiment to complete."
