Chapter 206: Apostasy

"Ladder to the Sun? What's that? Hearing Laura's excited shout, Redfield and Sheva were confused and curious about the name of the flower, but they also saw the extraordinary nature of the flower......

"In the 19th century. At that time, adventure and exploration were prevalent in Europe, and Henry Travis, the youngest son of the famous and wealthy European businessman Travis family, was one of them, who had traveled to the African continent five times for adventure and exploration, and his exploration covered every corner of Africa, and the geography, climate, animals, plants, minerals, population distribution and folklore of these regions were carefully investigated, and a detailed adventure record was formed. After his fifth adventure in Africa, Henry Travis returned to his homeland for the first time after 34 years of absence, compiling a record of his adventures over the years and producing a 72-volume exploration collection, Natural History Surveys. However, Henry Travis's "Natural History Survey", which has been working hard for many years, is not recognized by the European academic community, especially the folklore in it, which is regarded as a "good adventure" by the local academic community. Henry was given a cold shoulder by the academic community, and he collapsed from then on, and soon died of depression. Henry's eldest brother, the chairman of the Travis Trading Company, came forward to take back all the copies of the Natural History Survey that had been circulated. Laura said like a treasure.

"Now that Henry Travis's book has been recycled, how do you know so clearly? And does that have anything to do with this solar ladder? After listening to Laura's words, Redfield asked very curiously.

"Because my grandfather's grandfather was good friends with Henry Travis, and my family has a copy of the original Natural History Survey in my collection," Laura replied, "and the relationship between them is great."

"In the "Natural History Survey" there is a story about an ancient tribe called the Dubai Ya tribe, which is an ancient and powerful civilization with an extremely large underground kingdom, and the ruins where we are now should be the ruins of the ancient Dubai Ya Kingdom, and this sun ladder is the treasure of the ancient Dubai Ya Kingdom, it is rumored that thousands of years ago, the Dubai Ya Kingdom was guided by the sun god and found this magical herb, and it is said that after taking this herb, you can become the closest god to the sun god, With a lifespan of hundreds of years, it is brave and fearless, and invulnerable.

This magical flower is planted in a flower bed in the underground core area of Dubai's sub-empire.

But it is a highly toxic flower, and only a few people who can be approved by the gods can survive after eating the flower. If you want to become a king, eating flowers is an inevitable test. And the flowers will bring a long life and great power to the new king. For thousands of years, the Dubai Empire has relied on this method to choose its leaders and see them as God-approved people. And this ritual of transmission in Dubai continued until the 19th century. Henry Travis was also fortunate enough to see the ritual, learn about the myth behind it, and document it in its entirety. ”

Laura's narration of the history of the sub-kingdom of Dubai aroused the great interest of Redfield and Sheva.

"Is this true? Does this plant really have such magical powers? After listening to Laura's explanation, the eyes of the two looking at the flowers on the altar were completely different.

"Perhaps, if you're not afraid of death, you can try," Laura chuckled.

"Forget it, and I think I've found something" Redfield quickly ran to a corner, found a box, and dusted it off, revealing the Umbrella Company logo. "It seems that these flowers have something to do with the research of the umbrella company."

"That's right, look here, these new devices have the logo of Sanlian" Sheva also found some newer equipment in another place at this time.

"Looks like there's a collaboration between these two companies, we're really in the right place," Redfield said with a sneer as he looked at the Umbrella logo.

"It's actually a triple company?" Laura, who followed at this time, looked at the logo of the Sanlian Company and frowned.

"What? What do you know about them? Redfield asked.

"Remember what I said before, Henry Travis, the first to discover the ladder of the sun, the Travis family, is the founder of the Triplex Group," Laura said with a solemn face.

"Wow, it looks like we've really dug up something terrible," Xie Wa sighed when she heard this.

"In that case, let's find out," Redfield said, loading the gun in his hand.

Immediately, the three of them began to move towards the depths of the base again.

……………………………………

At the same time, deep in the base, Axella was alone in a cell after being separated from Wesker.

In the cell, there is a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who is the rich American man who was "rescued" by Axella, Mr. Tony Stark.

"Hi Tony, how are you today?" Axella walked over to the cell and asked Stark in the cell.

"Actually, I was in a good mood, but when I saw you coming, I wasn't in the mood," Stark rolled his eyes and said extremely unhappily in the face of Axella's greeting.

When he was just rescued by Axella, Stark was very happy, he didn't die, and he also had the opportunity to kiss the beautiful woman, how could he be unhappy?

But upon arriving at the base, Stark began to notice that something was wrong.

Although Axella entertained him with good food and drink, she was always oblivious to his requests to contact the outside world, and often asked him strange questions about biological genetics.

Don't look at Tony Stark, although he has a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, etc., this does not mean that Stark's foundation in biology is poor.

For example, the Desperate Virus, Maya Hansen, was gradually perfected by relying on the formula provided by Stark.

At the beginning, Stark was quite generous to help Axella answer those difficult questions, and people saved his life, but as Axella's problems got deeper and deeper, Stark still found that something was wrong, because he found that Axella's research was not like serious genetic research, but more like a biochemical virus.

Don't look at Stark's time when he didn't participate in Raccoon City, but that didn't stop him from studying the T-virus out of curiosity afterwards.

That's why he's able to spot the hidden frustration in Axella's problems.

So when Axela asked him any more questions, he stopped cooperating and insisted on contacting the outside world.

In desperation, Axella could only imprison Stark and coerce and lure, but Stark has always been uncooperative.

But for Axela and Wesker, Stark, who knew about the existence of the base, couldn't be released anyway, and once the research on the Ouroboros project was truly completed, Stark would be a dead end.

So for Axella, who has already turned his face, Stark naturally won't have a good face.

However, at this time, Axella didn't care about this at all, in fact, she was a very smart woman, and she had cooperated with Wesker before, and she was also trying to improve her family status. Then, because of Wicks' plan, her ambitions began to gradually increase.

But the previous temptation made her understand that she didn't have much status in Wesker's heart.

Under normal circumstances, she might choose to continue to cooperate with Wesker because of Wesker's strength, and finally abandoned after being used by Wesker.

But now, Axella feels that she may have a better choice, which is to abandon the darkness and cooperate with Tony Stark.

"Don't be so ruthless, dear Tony, I was really helpless to treat you like this before, my every move was under Wesker's watch, and I could only follow his orders, but now the time has come for us to escape from Wesker's clutches, and when we get out of here, I'll let you deal with it, okay?" In the face of Stark's coldness, Axela didn't mind, but began to have a crying expression and began to start a beauty offensive against Stark.

Seeing Axella's appearance at this time, Stark, who hadn't tasted meat for a long time, couldn't help but swallow his saliva...... I have to say, this woman is really foul.

However, our wise and martial Tony Stark will not be so easily bewitched by this woman, so he said: "How do I know that what you said is true, you must know that I became a prisoner because I believed in you before."

"This ...... So how do you trust me? Seeing that Stark didn't take the bait for a while, Axella couldn't help but scratch her head a little.

"If you can prepare something for me, maybe I'll take your word for it," Stark said, rolling his eyes to something in the far corner of the cell.

"You say, as long as I can do it, I will do it," Axella gritted her teeth as she made up her mind to switch sides.
