Chapter 387: Spencer
Previously, he watched the battle between Pang Xuelin and the licker through the drone located over Raccoon City.
Pang Xuelin's performance is already higher than Alice's.
Under normal circumstances, this is a surprise for the umbrella company, and Caine can send someone to catch Pang Xuelin and take him to other laboratories for further research.
But Pang Xuelin brought back two pieces of news, but he gave up this plan.
One is naturally the return of Mascu.
As the former leader of the Umbrella Corporation's scientific direction, Cain knows very well what the news of Marcus' resurrection means.
Even Spencer, the true leader of the umbrella company, had to take Mascu seriously.
Another important reason is naturally that Pang Xuelin said that he actually developed a new virus on the basis of the T virus to transform himself.
It also showed a more powerful combat ability than those mutated versions of the T virus, and all the data of this virus only existed in Pang Xuelin's own mind.
In this way, Caine can only rule out the method of taking tough measures against Pang Xuelin.
Then the only option left is to cooperate.
"Professor Pang, tell me, how did you know the news of Mascu's resurrection?"
Pang Xuelin smiled faintly and said, "I want to know your authority Mr. Cain, can you talk directly to Mr. Spencer?" If you can't, it's better to know a little less. ”
Caine was slightly stunned, in fact, his immediate supervisor was William Birkin.
William Birkin and Albert Wesker are Spencer's real henchmen, and although Cain belongs to the top management of the Umbrella Company and was also involved in the operation against Mascu, he does not have direct access to Spencer.
After a moment of silence, Cain said, "Do you want to speak directly to Mr. Spencer or Mr. William Birkin?" ”
Pang Xuelin shook his head, directly found a piece of sticky note paper, wrote the name [Henry Travis] with a marker on it, and then handed it to Caine and said, "You can transfer this to Mr. Spencer." ”
"Henry Travis?"
Cain looked at Pang Xuelin puzzled.
Pang Xuelin smiled faintly and said, "Spencer will naturally understand what I mean. ”
Caine was silent for a long time, and his evaluation of Pang Xuelin in his heart increased by a few points.
This person seems to be ordinary, but no matter how he speaks, he has the temperament of a person who has been in a position for a long time.
And he seems to know some secrets that he doesn't know.
"Okay, I'm a little tired, arrange a place for me and the few people I brought to rest, it's nine o'clock in the evening, this place is not far from Raccoon City, it's easy to be affected by a nuclear strike, tell me when you want to evacuate."
Cain was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know that we are preparing to launch a nuclear strike on Raccoon City?" ”
Pang Xuelin blinked and smiled: "Guess, if you don't launch a nuclear strike, is there any other way to stop the large-scale spread of the T virus in Raccoon City?" ”
Caine didn't speak, and the jealousy of Pang Xuelin in his heart increased a little, so he didn't believe that Pang Xuelin guessed.
"Maybe this guy has something to do with it at a higher level."
Caine's brow furrowed.
……
Coming out of the tent, Claire and Jill looked at Pang Xuelin with some concern.
But soon, Cain also came out, and then instructed his men to arrange a tent for Pang Xuelin to rest.
Claire and the others were exhausted after a day of fighting, and quickly fell asleep in bed.
Pang Xuelin couldn't sleep, Henry Travis, the author of "Natural History Investigation", Spencer accidentally discovered the existence of this book, and went to West Africa to find the "solar ladder" highly toxic Asteraceae plant mentioned in the book, extracted a special RNA virus (Archaeopteryx virus), and cooperated with Ashford Sr. and Mascu to create Ambrera Company, which has today's achievements.
Pang Xuelin is not sure if Spencer gave Henry Travis the name to Ashford Sr. and Mascu, but in any case, there must be very few people who know the name.
Now telling the other person the name himself is enough to trigger Spencer's association.
You know, all he got was a partial manuscript of the Natural History Survey.
The Dubai sub-tribe in West Africa has long since lost the inheritance of the "Sun Ladder Ritual", and Spencer is bent on having the power of the king of the Dubai sub-tribe described in the "Natural History Survey", with a long life, invulnerability, water and fire, and extraordinary strength.
But he never got what he wanted.
In fact, judging by the situation depicted in the movie, Spencer has long since begun to genetically modify himself and some of the top management of the umbrella company through the virus over the years.
But the results of the transformation are mostly unsatisfactory.
Although they have gained extraordinary powers, they have also become monsters in the eyes of ordinary people.
And this mutation of Pang Xuelin and Alice is the goal they are pursuing.
This is also the reason why in the Resident Evil series, the Umbrella Corporation has been conducting various experiments on Alice.
Now there is another Pang Xuelin.
Pang Xuelin didn't believe it, Spencer didn't cause any special associations after seeing the name that Pang Xuelin forwarded.
……
In fact, Spencer's reaction was even quicker than Pang Xuelin's.
At two o'clock in the morning, when Pang Xuelin was sleeping in a daze, Cain suddenly broke into the tent and woke Pang Xuelin up.
"Professor Pang, Mr. Spencer, please!"
Pang Xuelin yawned and said, "Tomorrow, it's too late, I'll see Mr. Spencer tomorrow." ”
Cain said: "Professor Pang, we have prepared a special plane for you, and later you will take a helicopter to a military airport sixty kilometers away, where there will be a Boeing 747 converted private jet waiting for you, it will take you to the west coast, you can rest on the plane, Mr. Spencer said, I hope to have breakfast with you tomorrow morning." ”
Pang Xuelin stared at Cain and said with a smile: "You have to leave tonight?" ”
"Definitely!"
There was a taste in Caine's tone that could not be refused.
Pang Xuelin laughed and said, "That's okay, but I'll bring these people." ”
Pang Xuelin pointed at Claire and a few of them.
Claire: Naturally, they don't have any objections.
Cain nodded, "Yes." ”
Pang Xuelin got up and dressed, and Claire, Jill, and McAdoo also got up.
The four men boarded a helicopter and arrived at an airbase half an hour later.
Subsequently, Pang Xuelin and they got on a Boeing 747 private jet.
The plane was luxuriously somewhat unexpected by Pang Xuelin, with a living room, a master bedroom, a shower room, and a reception room, which can be said to be extremely proud.
After boarding the plane, Pang Xuelin went to sleep in the master bedroom nonchalantly.
Claire, they couldn't sleep.
Claire smiled bitterly: "Jill, McAdoo, I always feel that it was a little too hasty to promise Mr. Pang at that time, according to this person's tossing strength, in the next three years, I am afraid we will not have many comfortable days." ”
Jill sat comfortably on the sofa chair that could be adjusted, and said nonchalantly: "It's not a big deal, isn't it just to work for Mr. Pang?" It's worth it for three years for a life, and if it weren't for him today, I'm afraid the three of us would have become the same as those monsters in Raccoon City. ”
McAdoo on the side also nodded.
He never said much, and rarely took the initiative to express his opinions.
Claire said: "That's right, forget it, let's go to sleep first." ”
When Pang Xuelin woke up, it was already dawn outside, and the plane had just begun to land.
After getting off the plane, there was already a convoy waiting on the runway.
Pang Xuelin and the others got on an extended version of the Lincoln, with a longitudinal layout and four people sitting in the back, which was not cramped at all.
However, after everyone got into the car, their attention was not on the car.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the news being broadcast in the in-car audio-visual system.
"At 5 a.m. EST, a nuclear explosion occurred at the Raccoon City nuclear power plant, the worst nuclear accident since the explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the former Soviet Union in the last century, and it is not yet known how many casualties were caused by this accident."
Claire, Jill, and McAdoo watched the news on TV dumbfounded, although Pang Xuelin had said before that the military would launch a nuclear strike on Raccoon City, but when this scene really happened, they had an unacceptable feeling.
"Liar! Executioner! ”
Jill withdrew his gaze from the TV, turned to Pang Xuelin and said, "Mr. Pang, is this the work of the American government or the umbrella company?" ”
Pang Xuelin shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly: "Do you think there is a difference?" ”
Jill's chest rose and fell violently, clearly suppressing the anger in his heart.
After a long time, she said, "Mr. Pang, I hope you remember what you said to us at that time, otherwise I will stay by your side for three years at most!" ”
Claire also said with a straight face: "Mr. Pang, I am the same!" ”
McAdoo on the side also nodded
Pang Xuelin smiled: "Don't worry, I won't break my word." ”
After leaving the airport, the convoy began to gallop along the coastline, and finally arrived at a manor near the coast.
Blue sky and white clouds, sunny beaches, like a paradise.
The car entered the manor and stopped at the door of a villa.
At the door, a cold-looking man in a suit had been waiting for a long time.
The black-clothed bodyguard in charge of the guard stepped forward to open the door, Pang Xuelin got out of the car, and under the guidance of the man in the suit, he was ready to enter the villa.
At this time, Claire and the others also wanted to follow, but were stopped by the black-clothed bodyguard at the door.
Pang Xuelin smiled and said, "You don't have to come along, just wait outside." ”
Then, he turned his gaze to the man in the suit who was leading the way, and said, "These are my friends, help me settle them properly." ”
The man in the suit nodded, glanced at the black-clothed bodyguard on the side, and didn't say much.
Soon, the black-clad bodyguard took Claire and they left.
Pang Xuelin followed the man in the suit into the villa, went upstairs, and came to a terrace.
The terrace has a set of tables and chairs for lounging, a variety of exquisite food, and a view of the white sand beach and the blue sea.
A man in his thirties, with meticulously combed hair, looking very gentle and handsome, sat at the table, and when he saw Pang Xuelin coming in, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he stood up and said, "Professor Pang, welcome, despicable Spencer, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”
"Hello, Mr. Spencer!"
Pang Xuelin stepped forward and shook Spencer's hand.
According to the background, Spencer found the manuscript "Natural History Investigation" left by Henry Travis in the sixties of the last century, when he was a college classmate with Ashford Sr. and Muscu, and he should have been in his twenties.
But now, more than 40 years have passed, and time does not seem to show much trace on him.
Spencer said: "Mr. Pang, please, I heard that you Chinese are used to talking about things at the dinner table, let's talk while eating." ”
Breakfast was plentiful with oatmeal, omelette, grilled sausage, bacon, cod steak, steak, vegetable salad, cake, white wine and much more.
Pang Xuelin was also polite, he was really a little hungry, so he directly brought the steak to his side, picked up the knife and fork and began to deal with the steak in front of him.
Spencer is not slow, his movements are elegant, and he has an aristocratic temperament.
"Mr. Pang, where did you get the name Henry Travis?"
Pang Xuelin chewed the steak in his mouth vigorously, then took a big sip of white wine, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course, I know this name from his manuscript." ”
Spencer's aristocratic temperament couldn't be pretended to be in an instant, he opened his eyes wide, stared at Pang Xuelin and said, "Do you have a manuscript left by Henry Travis?" ”
You know, Spencer also accidentally obtained Henry Travis's manuscript, and through the description on this manuscript, he found the highly poisonous plant of the Asteraceae family used in the solar ladder ceremony.
Unfortunately, this manuscript is incomplete, and many accounts of the Ladder of the Sun have been omitted.
Over the years, Spencer has made great progress by constantly studying Archaeopteryx.
But genetically modifying the human body with this progenitor virus has all sorts of flaws that fail to achieve the state described in Henry Travis's manuscript.
Therefore, Spencer always regretted that if they had obtained the complete manuscript of Henry Travis, their research might have been successful.
Because of this, after learning the news about Henry Travis, he immediately sent someone to pick up Pang Xuelin.
He didn't expect that he really got the news about the manuscript from Pang Xuelin's mouth.
Pang Xuelin said nonchalantly: "Manuscript...... I've burned ......"
"Burned?"
Spencer's eyes lit up fiercely, and his tone began to become a little unkind.
Pang Xuelin smiled faintly: "Mr. Spencer, don't worry, listen to me slowly." ”
"My ancestors came from China, and two hundred years ago they were famous maritime merchants, and in my hometown, there is an ancestral house that has been handed down. Eight years ago, I was back in China to deal with the handover of my ancestral home, and while sorting through my family's belongings, I stumbled upon a manuscript from an 18th-century European that described some of the adventurer's experiences in West Africa by the name of Henry Travis.
The manuscript mentions that during an expedition to Africa, Henry Travis discovered a local indigenous tribe, the Dubai Ya Tribe. The Dubai tribe is a remnant of the ancient West African ruler of the Dubai Ya Kingdom, and there is a legend among the tribes that their leader has a long lifespan, and is physically strong and invulnerable, and the way the tribal leader is still passed on is the election system adopted by the primitive tribe, and the candidate must become the leader of the tribe through a ceremony called the Sun Ladder.
The Ladder of the Sun is a sacred relic of the ancient kingdom of Dubai, a large Asteraceae plant containing poison, and the Ladder of the Sun ceremony requires candidates to take this highly poisonous plant, and only the one who survives can become the leader of the tribe, and he will also have a lifespan and strength far beyond ordinary people......
As it happened, I was still in college at the time, so I took a few months off work to take a trip to West Africa, only to find that all the Asteraceae that lived there had already been bought.
From the remnants of the tribe, I learned that a team from the United States had come there decades ago and bought all the Asteraceae plants and seeds.
Then I continued my investigation, and it turned out that it was Mr. Spencer who had purchased these Asteraceae plants, and that you had become the founder of the Ambrera Foundation, the largest consortium in the United States.
That's a lot of fun.
After graduating from university, I joined Ambrera and became the director of the Hive Lab thanks to my academic achievements.
I soon discovered that there are two systems in the Hive Laboratory, one that studies ordinary biomedical technology, and the other that is nominally cooperating with the military to study various biological and chemical weapons, but in fact it is studying the RNA virus that you extract from the Asteraceae plant, the progenitor virus, and the T virus, which is officially the product of further research on that progenitor virus. It's just a pity that your research seems to have missed a lot of things that led to the unsatisfactory mutation of the T-virus.
Then, I took this opportunity to get a sample of the T virus, and then I made up for the defects of the T virus.
It's just a pity that before I had time to do any verification, there was a sudden change in the laboratory, the T virus leaked, and the Red Queen wanted to kill all of us, so I could only temporarily inject the virus I made myself and escaped from the laboratory, and my experimental data and various manuscripts were not brought out......"
Speaking of this, Pang Xuelin couldn't help but sigh.
The fierce glint in Spencer's eyes gradually dissipated, and after a long time, he said, "Professor Pang, if I give you enough team and funding, how much time will it take you to get that virus back out?" ”
Pang Xuelin smiled slightly, stretched out three fingers and said, "Three years!" ”
Spencer pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, but only if you have to do something for me." ”
"What's the matter?"
Pang Xuelin was slightly stunned.
Spencer lights up the tablet on the table, and a picture of Alice appears on it.
"Do you know this subject? Cain smashed up last night and let her run away, you help me get her back now, and I can give you a team and a lab. ”
Pang Xuelin laughed, shook his head and said, "It's too little." ”
