Chapter 4: Ashford

Charles. As a side branch member of the Ashford family, Ashford's status is not high, and he is even on the fringes of the Ashford family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The reason for this is that they began to develop a genetic disease called "lateral sclerosis" several generations ago.

The disease is extremely common in Charles's branch, for generations in a row.

If it weren't for Charles's appearance, Charles's family branch would probably gradually die out.

But...... Ever since Charles showed an extraordinary talent in virology, genetics, and genetics, Charles was valued by the Ashford family and conducted research on T-viruses under the arrangement of the main family. When Charles's daughter was born and had the first symptoms of "lateral sclerosis" at a young age, Charles took a risk and began to use the T virus to make up for the genetic defects in his own branch, and continued to debug his daughter Angela's body.

Eventually, the move was learned of by the umbrella company, and Charles was penalized by the board of directors.

- He was exiled to Raccoon City for research work. Fortunately, the Acre Institute also has extremely advanced research equipment, so the Ashford family acquiesced in such a punishment.

Raccoon City is a city that is completely structured by the Umbrella Company, and almost all of the city's functions are in the hands of the Umbrella Company.

Charles, who has no intention of power, is even more devoted to research, focusing on solving the defects in his own genes.

On this day, Charles returned to his room to start work as usual after dropping off his daughter from school, but when he entered the living room, he suddenly stopped. He stared at the handsome Chinese man in a black trench coat in the shadows of the living room and asked, "Who are you...... What are you doing here? ”

Although Charles tried hard to suppress it, Xu Qing still sensed Charles's panic.

Charles is smart, but he's still an ordinary person, an ordinary person with a severe disability.

He knew his confidential identity and knew that there must be a lot of security around him, but the Chinese man in front of him still appeared...... This in itself is a red flag.

So panic is normal.

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Dr. Charles, you don't have to be nervous and afraid...... I'm here to save you. "This is a hard task from the Treasure of Reincarnation, and it is about breaking away from the great cause!

Charles snorted, a sneer.

Xu Qing flicked his fingers: "As one of the top executives of the umbrella company, you should know something about the recent situation in Raccoon City, right?" Honestly...... I don't think the current awareness of Raccoon City can stop the spread of the T-virus......"

"How do you know this! Who are you! ”

Charles rudely interrupted Xu Qingdi.

But Xu Qing was not angry, and even laughed, this panic feeling of the secret being pierced can help him break through Charles's heart very well! And the acquisition of confidential information can allow Xu Qing to create a "sense of mystery" in the other party's heart. No way, people in the information age have long been aware of the "importance of information".

As expected, Charles was already speculating about Xu Qing's identity.

He knew so much confidential information...... Was it William's men or Wesker's men?

He claimed to have come to save himself, could it be that he was sent by the Ashford family?

However, his research results are relatively slow and low-level, compared to the research results of Alexia of the Ashford family, which are many steps ahead of him, it seems impossible to send a protector for himself.

Just as Charles was thinking, Xu Qing came to Charles's side and smiled: "One of my highest tasks is to protect your personal safety, and I will help you eradicate any factors that threaten you." Even if I die, I won't let you die. So you can rest assured of me...... Of course, you can also think that this is my lie. ”

Second, my task was to obtain the stock solution of the T virus and the antidote to the T virus. Oh, and it's more accurate to say 'Ancestral Virus', I'm sure you're no stranger to it, right? ”

Charles's remnants are shocked again, and even the progenitor virus knows about it?

Who the hell is this mysterious man?!

If they wanted to get the Ancestral Virus, neither the Ashford family nor the Spencer family would send such a person, not even William and Wesker...... As a supergiant of the umbrella company, they themselves hold the original solution of the T-virus!

So, who is he? Which side does it belong to? I don't want to know this, Charles can't be at ease at all.

Wait a minute!

Could it be......

Charles frowned, thinking of a rumor, so he looked at Xu Qing in shock, and said astringently: "Are you ...... Marcus's people? ”

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Charles's brain replenishment ability to be so strong...... I even thought of the character Marcus.

In that year, Oswell of the Spencer family, Edward of the Ashford family, and James Ashford. Marcus formed the original research team, but in the subsequent development, the Spencer family mainly built the Umbrella Company, and Marcus was attacked and killed and stolen the research results, and his disciples William and Wesker became Marcus's betrayers, and are now one of the main leaders of the Spencer family.

The Ashford family, on the other hand, was at a disadvantage in the race for dominance in Umbrella and is now focusing on the Antarctic Institute.

Of all the powers, it seems that only the fallen giant of Marcus is the main and plausible explanation.

Xu Qing couldn't help but smile after thinking about all this, and this smile seemed more like a default to Charles.

Charles said coldly: "Since your mission is to protect my absolute safety, then why should I risk helping you get the T-virus stock solution?" You know, that's a pretty precious strategic resource! ”

The Acre Institute was formerly Marcus' base, and after it was controlled by Spencer, it became a second-class area, and the upper level strictly controlled the supply of T-virus stock solution.

Xu Qing smiled: "Because my mission is only to protect you." However, it does not include your daughter. ”

In the movie, in order to save his daughter, Charles even went to the top executive of Wesker, Markey . Cain's orders dare to be disobeyed, so Xu Qing is confident that Charles will agree to his "small request".

Sure enough, Charles's face darkened.

He had long expected that his daughter would be targeted...... But when the last hope was dashed, he couldn't help but be a little depressed.

Seeing this, Xu Qing patted Charles's shoulder and reassured: "I won't make a move on your daughter, but I don't think the umbrella company will care about you and your daughter's life and death, for the umbrella company, you are more like a precious property, but not very important." ”

Charles agrees.

After all, there are many researchers who are better than themselves! His research on T-viruses is more like a lab assistant.

Eventually, Charles nodded resignedly and said, "Okay, I promise you." How much do you want? ”

"Ten sticks each of the stock solution and the antidote!"

"You're crazy!"

"Eight, no less."

"Up to six, this is the highest quota I can still receive this month, and even then, I will be subject to strict scrutiny and fill out a large number of claim reports!"

This is one of the reasons why Charles is dissatisfied with the upper echelons.

Even the extraction of the stock solution is subject to scrutiny, which is not encountered in other advanced research institutes.

In the end, Xu Qing nodded: "Then it's hard for you." ”

After saying that, Xu Qing cautiously left Charles's house...... From beginning to end, the watchers in the shadows never noticed Xu Qing.

Seeing Xu Qing leaving, Charles was always uneasy in his heart...... He was hesitant to report the incident......
