Fortunately, cases like the Giant Bat are now very difficult to achieve, because the only way to escape from the Underworld is in the deepest part of the Underworld, and this is where only the most powerful mutants can survive, and weak people like mutant bees can only become food for powerful mutants once they enter it.

If it weren't for the fact that the giant bats had coincidentally flown here at a time when all the mutants had not yet fully developed, and then escaped along the passage, they would still be able to stay in this underground world by now.

At this time, under Ye Feng's continued observation, he found that under the entrance of this cave, there were very strange and lush green plants!

It is worth mentioning that although there are a large number of plants growing here, according to his careful observation, he found that there is only one plant body here, similar to grape plants, which seem to have thousands of branches, but in fact they are just branches of the main body.

And on the branches of these plants, there are also bright yellow-red flowers.

At this moment, Ye Feng suddenly noticed a burst of purple glow from under the main body of these plants, but after this purple glow lasted for a few seconds, it also dimmed and then flickered.

The cycle is repeated, and it seems very regular.

Curious, he immediately cast a spiritual power detection, extending towards the main body of the plant, and under his pervasive spiritual power detection, he finally discovered the reason for the shining purple glow.

I saw that under the main body of this plant, there was a purple meteorite with a size of one meter, and the rhizome of this plant had grown over the years, and it was also completely integrated into this purple meteorite.

It is precisely because of this that this plant has a magical symbiotic relationship with this purple meteorite, so every time the plant exhales and inhales, the purple meteorite below is also accompanied by a ghostly light.

It is worth mentioning that this purple stone, which is only one meter in size, is only one meter in size now, but this is the volume left over from the combustion after it pierced the atmosphere.

Before entering the atmosphere, the purple stone was as large as a football field, but after entering the atmosphere, it eventually became only one meter in size during the high-speed combustion after entering the atmosphere.

In fact, I don't know how many meteors hit the Earth every year, but almost all of them burn up after entering the atmosphere, and they don't cause any harm except for creating a momentary beauty.

And this meteor, which still has a volume of one meter left after breaking through the atmosphere, crashed into this underground cave by chance after crashing into the earth, and the trajectory it hit is the source of the formation of the straight channel.

And then this purple meteorite is also closed here, oh! Wrong!

To be precise, there is still an entrance to this underground cave, that is, a narrow passage several meters in diameter and up to several hundred meters, but this passage was only a small hole hidden in the mountains when the Umbrella Company had not discovered that Raccoon City was being built here.

It has gone through thousands of years of history from ancient sleep to modern times and has not been discovered by humans, and I believe that if there is no accident later, then this purple meteorite will always sleep in this closed underground cave.

And this accident is going to involve a secret past!

And the protagonist of this past is the creeping plant coiled on the purple meteorite, because this plant is the origin of all the viruses in this Resident Evil!

Because the so-called T virus, G virus, U virus, C virus and the like derived later are all derived from a kind of progenitor virus called the progenitor virus, and the source of this progenitor virus is extracted from this plant.

The Progenitor virus, also known as TheProgenitorVirus, is the origin of all viruses in the Resident Evil series.

It is extracted from a flower called the Ladder of the Sun (the creeping plant that Ye Feng just saw) that grows in the remains of the Dubai sub-tribe in West Africa, and this flower contains an RNA form of viral material that can improve the body's abilities (including physical strength, mobility, etc.) and prolong the life span of humans.

From a biological point of view, the RNA characteristics of Archaeopteryx can promote the evolution of human DNA, which is also the reason for the increase of human capacity and lifespan.

As for the official discovery of the Sun Ladder by Europeans and the study of the virus contained in it, it began in 1800, when Henry Travis, the youngest son of the famous and wealthy European businessman Travis family, invested all his family's own funds in the field of adventure, and aspired to become an explorer like David Livingstone and became famous all over the world.

Influenced by David Livingstone's exploration achievements in Africa, Henry Travis went to the African continent five times for adventure and exploration, and his exploration footprints were almost all over Africa, and he also made detailed investigations of the geography, climate, animals, plants, minerals, population distribution and folklore of these regions, and formed a detailed adventure record.

At the end of his fifth and final adventure in Africa, Henry Travis returned to his homeland for the first time after 34 years away, compiling a record of his adventures over the years and forming a 72-volume exploration collection, Natural History Surveys.

In this book, he also recorded in detail a personal experience of a local tribe leader selection ceremony.

Because the succession of the throne of the Dubai Empire does not rely on blood relations, they maintain the traditional election method of primitive tribes, and the elected leader must pass the test of the sun god to become king, and this test is the sun ladder ceremony.

In the underground core area of the Dubai Ya Empire, there is a flower bed, on which is planted the sacred relic of Dubaiya - the Sun Ladder Flower, which is a flower with a highly toxic substance, and only a few people who can be recognized by the gods can survive after eating the flower.

If you want to become a king, eating flowers is an inevitable test, and flowers will also bring a long life and great power to the new king, and for thousands of years, the Dubai sub-empire has relied on this way to choose its own leader and regard him as a person approved by God.

It's just that not long after he recorded this ceremony, the Dubai Ya Empire suddenly died without warning, and no one knows why this kingdom died, only that the Dubai Yans began to give up their lives underground and completely moved to live on the ground.

As for the Ladder of the Sun, it was protected by the Dubai sub-tribes with a mechanism and did not allow outsiders to approach, and not long after, the era of European colonialism was set off, and the Dubai sub-tribes were inevitably involved in the wave of the colonial world and became the victims of the primitive capital accumulation in Europe.

However, from the murals later depicted in the Dubai Ya Empire, we can see that in the last days of this empire, there were terrible monsters in the underground world of Dubaiya, these monsters had human bodies, but there were many more tentacles, these monsters were biting the local residents, and broken corpses were everywhere, and in the holy land of Dubaiya, two giant-like monsters were wrestling on the flower beds of the Sun Ladder.

This may be the first-ever Resident Evil, and it completely upends the rise and fall of a kingdom.

The cause of the demise of the Dubai tribe was not recorded by Henry Travis, but his account of relying on flowers to increase human lifespan and ability was discovered in the 60s of the 20th century, and this discovery led to the discovery of the Ancestral Virus and everything that followed......

In the 60s of the 20th century, the book "Natural History Survey", which recorded the Sun Ladder and the kingdom of Dubai, was also published by the young patriarch of the Spencer family, Oswell. E. Spencer found out.

Spencer, on the other hand, believed and agreed with Henry's observations, so when he saw Henry's account of the inheritance ceremony of the Dubai tribe, he immediately became interested in the sun ladder flowers described in it.

He then immediately approached his friend Edward Ashford and Edward's classmate, Dr. James Marcus, a biologist, and told them the story.

At this time, Marcus, who is a doctor of biology, also keenly proposed that it was probably a certain substance in this flower that caused the evolution of man, and proposed to go to Africa to find the solar ladder flower and analyze its composition, after which Spencer agreed to Marcus's request and took Marcus and his student Brandon to Africa.

Under the armed mercenaries hired by Spencer, they took control of the sacred flower beds in Dubai Ya with guns and killings, and then harvested and analyzed the Sun Ladder flowers.

Soon, Marcus's compositional analysis also had the results - among the materials produced by the Sun Ladder flowers, there was indeed a virus-like genetic material component, and this component was a completely new component that had not been discovered by the medical community at that time.

Spencer and Marcus were thrilled by this result, and Marcus thought it was a key to deciphering the evolutionary code of life, and immediately picked some of the flowers of the solar ladder and returned to Europe for careful study, naming the new RNA virus Archaeopteryx and unveiling the work of the Archaeopteryx virus.

Back in Europe, Marcus and Edward Ashford set out to study the Archaeopteryx and the Solar Ladder, but soon discovered a very serious problem, that is, the Solar Ladder Flower that had been brought back to Europe had somehow lost its original properties and could not continue to refine the Archaeopteryx.

The newly cultivated Sun Ladder flowers in Europe could not produce Archaeopteryx, and the undying Marcus changed the soil and water quality to the local soil moisture in Africa, but the Sun Ladder still could not produce Archaeopteryx.

Finally, after a long period of research, they finally found out why the newly cultivated solar ladder that was taken out and in Europe lost its effect, and the source was that the solar ladder in West Africa grew on a strange meteorite.

It may be that this meteorite has a magical radiation attached to it, which affects the genes of the solar ladder.

It's just that when they turned their heads and returned to the holy place flower bed where the Sun Ladder was collected, they were angry and helpless to find that they had forcibly seized the holy flower bed in Dubai Ya by force, and strange and powerful biochemical monsters also appeared in the battle, so fierce battles were naturally inevitable.

Therefore, the mercenaries also used powerful high-explosive bombs, explosives and other weapons, although most of the sun ladder in the flower bed was still preserved, but now when they went back to look for the meteorite, they found helplessly that the meteorite had been destroyed by the aftermath of the explosion.

And at this time, even the Sun Ladder in the Holy Land gradually lost the ingredients of the Progenitor Virus.

Faced with such a situation, everyone else must have been ready to give up, but Spencer did not give up, he collected all the meteorite fragments in the holy land, and then returned to Europe to collect the radiation band of these meteorite fragments with advanced instruments.

Then he began a long job of searching for new meteorites on the European land!

And the last place he found was this purple meteorite!

This purple meteorite has the same radiation band as the Dubai Yasandi meteorite, and then they also built a new umbrella company around it, which was just the prototype of the hive base at first.

Digging from the ground all the way to the underground cavern, they successfully found the purple meteorite, and then they immediately transplanted the Sun Ladder to the top of the meteorite.

Finally, they succeeded, and this time the ingredients of the progenitor virus appeared in the solar ladder cultivated again, and then they also smoothly continued to start the research of the progenitor virus, and as the research progressed, the umbrella company also developed a miraculous drug, which can effectively treat a variety of terminal diseases that are recognized as difficult to treat in the medical community!

And for rich people, a medicine like this, no matter how expensive it is, even if it is bankrupt, when it comes to their own life and death, they will grit their teeth and buy it!

As we all know, what is the best money to make in this world, there is no doubt that it is monopoly!

As the joke goes, if the government can make the same monopoly proposal, then it can instantly turn a person into the richest person in the world, and that is the breath tax!

You have to spend money to breathe every day, even if a person spends one dollar a day, then there are more than one billion people in country Z alone, there are a whole billion dollars a day, and it only takes one day to create a billionaire in an instant.

The manufacturing process of this drug developed by the umbrella company is actually not complicated, and the main reason for it is still in the sun ladder of the drug, without the sun ladder, this drug will no longer exist!

However, it is a pity that because of the unique living environment of the Sun Ladder, even if other companies try to steal a small amount of the Sun Ladder, they will not be able to cultivate more of this plant, because if they want to be as lucky as the Umbrella Company, the probability of finding a meteorite in the same radiation band is also conceivable.

It is precisely by relying on the windfall profits of this monopoly that the strength of the umbrella company is also snowballing.

Eventually, a huge raccoon city radiating from the Hive Base was built.
