To be honest, when she received those contracts, Yukinoshita Haruno couldn't believe that her shrewd and domineering mother had personally negotiated them.
Is there some hidden benefit that I haven't noticed, or... is the background of that Umbrella Corporation not simple?
As Yang Nai gazed at the Umbrella Building getting closer and closer outside the window, various thoughts collided in her mind.
But in the end, she still sighed.
Even if there were some inside information she didn't know, what good would it do? Even her mother had agreed to the contract, so even if she didn't want to, she was powerless to change it.
Soon, the car stopped outside the Umbrella Corporation building. Yukino Yukino got out of the car and followed the staff who were already waiting inside the company. They took the elevator to an office on the top floor, which was used to discuss business cooperation.
Inside the office, a petite young girl was already seated.
Looking at the white-haired girl's figure opposite her, Yukino Yukinoshita's lips twitched, but she didn't say anything and sat down opposite her.
Yukino Yukinoshita had seen the white-haired girl in front of her before, during her two previous visits to Umbrella Corporation to discuss contracts.
The other person's name is Shiro, the nominal heir of the Umbrella Corporation. Despite his young age, Yukino Yukinoshita has witnessed his abilities. He is quick-witted, insightful, and when he gets serious, you can't tell that he is actually a child.
Yang Nai had tried to outsmart the other party several times because of their young age, but she was always easily seen through, so she naturally wouldn't underestimate them.
"This is the contract regarding the cooperation. We have already reviewed it, and we can sign it at any time if there are no problems."
Yang Nai then spoke.
Bai, sitting opposite, didn't seem to say much. He simply took out his own contract and handed it to the other party.
"If everything is correct, you may sign."
"Alright, then I wish Ms. Bai a pleasant cooperation with us this time."
"Pleasant to work with."
Seemingly already familiar with the other party's sparing use of words, Yukinoshita Haruno quickly went through with the contract, then signed her name, completing the collaboration.
Before leaving, Yukino suddenly noticed a tube of blue reagent on the left corner of the other person's desk in the office, and couldn't help but feel curious.
"That is..."
"The company's new drug."
Noticing Yukinoshita's gaze, Shiro, sitting at his desk, spoke calmly.
"Oh? It's a new product. I wonder what its specific effects are?"
"It is an injectable substance that can improve health..."
Yukino wanted to ask more questions, but Haku clearly had no intention of answering the woman in front of her.
After Yang Nai left, Merlin walked in from outside and picked up the potion on the table.
"Should we get rid of her?"
Bai asked.
"I have already consulted with the other party, and they are unaware of it, so it is not necessary. As for this, Lord Takahashi Yu will come to collect it soon."
Chapter 40: The Emergence of the T-Virus, and Takahashi Yu's Complicated Feelings
Half an hour later, Takahashi Yu secretly arrived in Chiba Prefecture.
"I never expected this thing to appear in this world."
Inside the Umbrella Corporation building, Takahashi Yu looked at the blue medicine in the transparent, sealed test tube in his hand with a somewhat complicated expression.
About two hours earlier, Takahashi Yu, who was checking on the progress of the special forces at the internment camp, suddenly received information from Merlin that something unusual had happened in Chiba Prefecture.
Through Merlin's perspective, Takahashi Yu was astonished to discover that the anomaly Merlin observed this time was none other than a blue medicine in a sealed tube, shaped like DNA.
It also has a famous name, which is the T-virus.
That's right, it's the T-virus from Resident Evil, produced by Umbrella Corporation, also known as Umbrella Corporation.
Takahashi Yu never expected that not long after he sent his clone out to establish the Umbrella Corporation to help him amass wealth, the T-virus would appear in the world.
If Umbrella Corporation hadn't been founded by a separate entity, and if the company name hadn't been chosen by Takahashi Yu himself, and if the company's technical support hadn't been provided by the Anomalous Containment Facility under Takahashi Yu's command, then if Takahashi Yu hadn't been unaware of the situation, his first reaction upon discovering the T-virus would probably have been to have Umbrella Corporation surrounded.
"How did this tube of T-virus appear in this world?"
Takahashi Yu asked Umebayashi.
When Merlin notified them, the T-virus had already appeared in this world. Fortunately, it appeared in a sparsely populated urban area, and the T-virus in reality was not as fragile as in the movies or games. No leaks occurred until Takahashi Yu asked Merlin and the others to retrieve it.
Otherwise, Chiba Prefecture might turn into a zombie abode tomorrow.
Upon hearing Takahashi Yu's words, Merlin shook his head.
"It appeared suddenly in this world, without any warning. It just appeared out of nowhere. However, when the T virus appeared, I observed that the spatial fluctuations in that area were very unstable, which may be spacetime turbulence."
"Spacetime turbulence... I'm afraid most disasters in this world occur this way."
Upon hearing this, Takahashi Yu sighed with a headache.
Spacetime turbulence refers to a disruption in time and space. At a specific time, space experiences unstable fluctuations that suck people or objects in, allowing them to travel through spacetime to other times, places, or even different worlds.
However, in theory, the probability of spacetime turbulence occurring is very low, and the probability of it bringing things from other worlds into this world is even lower, let alone something as dangerous as this.
Leaving aside the T-virus, the previous Sadako videotape was probably in the same situation. Even before Merlin's clones materialized, the exact number of times this happened was unknown.
Given this situation, the world is probably already riddled with holes, and it's no wonder it will be destroyed in the future.
Shaking his head helplessly, Takahashi Yu put the T-virus in his hand into a special storage box used to store fragile items, intending to hand it over to the research department of the containment facility for further study.
With Bites the Dust around, Takahashi Yu isn't afraid of accidentally messing things up and causing a situation like what happened in the Resident Evil movies.
"This time you did a good job. Continue to monitor and report any abnormalities immediately. Also, speed up the process of controlling and replacing the top leaders in Japan, but absolutely do not use shoddy personnel. No matter what, the rear must not be in chaos."
Progress in other areas may be slowed down, but Tokyo, the place where the highest echelons of Japan gather, must be prioritized for control. It is Takahashi Yu's stronghold, the headquarters of vital forces such as the Anomaly Containment Facility that detain and study contained objects, and the center of power in Japan. Controlling Tokyo, the center of power in Japan, is basically equivalent to controlling most of Japan.
Of course, you can't replace all the top executives in Tokyo, as that would easily reveal the problem. But as Takahashi Yu has already mentioned, simple control has its drawbacks; if it fails, chaos will inevitably ensue.
Therefore, after thinking and refining for several days, Takahashi Yu finally decided to control one part and replace another.
High-ranking officials primarily focus on control, making their positions public to attract attention, while replacing those in positions of real power to effectively undermine their authority.
In this way, even if some unexpected event occurs in the future that causes the control to fail, those high-ranking officials who have become commanders without any power will be unable to do anything.
"Yes, sir Takahashi Yu."
Upon receiving Takahashi Yu's order, Merlin, along with Kira Yoshikage and Haku behind him, nodded.
Since bringing Kira Yoshikage, Merlin, Haku, and other clones into the real world some time ago, Takahashi Yu has found that using the term "original body" is always a bit inconvenient when communicating normally. Therefore, he asked the clones to use more normal terms of address when communicating normally.
In any case, these clones were all created by Takahashi Yu using role-playing cards and the system's functions. The clones were all controlled by the system's AI, and strictly speaking, they didn't have much to do with Takahashi Yu herself. Therefore, using other names would not seem strange while making communication easier.
Chapter 41: Class D Personnel, the Cautious Takahashi Yu
The following day, Takahashi Yu arrived at the shelter to personally supervise the T-virus experiments.
Having memories of her past life, Takahashi Yu is very clear that the T-virus is not just a dangerous virus that can turn people into mindless zombies. It also has the function of evolving the human body and even has the probability of allowing users to awaken superpowers, just like Alice, the female protagonist of the Resident Evil series.
However, the probability of such evolution succeeding is very low, and the fate of those who fail can be seen from the zombies.
Takahashi Yu's purpose in having his subordinates research the T-virus was to discover its true function in evolving the human body, find ways to reduce side effects and failure rates, and thus create a perfect version of the T-virus.
This is undoubtedly a very difficult process, but Takahashi Yu believes that his researchers can do it.
Moreover, with its own safety net, even if something unexpected happens, there's no need to worry about it developing into the worst possible outcome.
To create the perfect T-virus, the first step is to create a normal version of the T-virus. After all, the tube of T-virus that Takahashi Yu brought back came from another world, and its components need to be analyzed and then replicated before other steps can be carried out.
Fortunately, a whole tube of T-virus contains a considerable amount, more than enough for replication, and some can even be separated for other experiments in advance.
At this time, the experiments being conducted by the researchers under Takahashi Yu were studying the changes that the T virus caused in the human body after it entered the body.
This step of the experiment requires human cooperation, so Takahashi Yu specially transferred a group of D-class personnel from the containment facility.
To be honest, Takahashi Yu doesn't really like human experimentation, since such practices are against humanity. However, in this world where abnormal disasters occur frequently and there is even a crisis of destruction in the future, it seems that she has no right to be disgusted. Making use of all available resources is the right thing to do.
Moreover, the D-class personnel in the shelter, to put it nicely, are members of the shelter; to put it bluntly, they are a group of expendable resources. Before becoming D-class personnel, they were all death row inmates or serious criminals from various prisons. The crimes they committed were heinous and abhorrent, and they were basically trash who would not be pitied even if they were shot.
Sending it to him now is just the right time to let him use his remaining energy to make one last contribution.
"Let's begin the experiment."
Takahashi Yu spoke to the researchers beside her.
Soon, the three D-level personnel were brought into the experimental area, while Takahashi Yu and other researchers stood in the observation area to monitor the situation.
Because Takahashi Yu was very aware of the dangers of the T-virus, the construction of the experimental area was naturally carried out with utmost caution.
The entire experimental area is divided into three zones. The first zone, where the D-level personnel are currently located, is a sealed, spacious room surrounded by sturdy, special walls with no blind spots.
This is the main room used for experiments. Even if the virus leaks inside, it can be contained and prevented from spreading. The entire room has only one alloy door leading to Area Two.
Zone Two is also a sealed room, with five armed guards and ten disinfection personnel inside. The alloy door between Zone Two and Zone One can only be opened by the people in Zone Two entering the correct password.
The D-level personnel in Zone 1 are unable to open the gate from Zone 1. These personnel are mainly responsible for handling the aftermath of the experiment.
The final area, Zone 3, also has a sealed door connecting to Zone 2, and inside there are twenty armed personnel and fifteen disinfection personnel.
They are the most important line of defense in this experimental area. The door between Area 2 and Area 3 can only be opened in one direction. It requires personnel in Area 2 to enter the correct password, and then personnel in Area 3 to confirm it before it can be opened.
When activated, all personnel in Zone 2 should remain outside the cordon. Any unauthorized crossing of the cordon will be met with unconditional shooting by armed personnel in Zone 3.
Finally, Area 3 conducts a second inspection of Areas 2 and 1. Only after confirming that everything is in order can an application be made to the outside world to open the only door connecting Area 3 to the exit.
To open the gate, personnel from Zone 3 and researchers from the outside must enter the password three times. Only after all three passwords are entered correctly will the gate open in five minutes.
Furthermore, everyone in the subsequent passage will need to undergo more than twenty disinfection procedures.
If any step goes wrong, the door will be locked immediately, and you can only apply again after 15 minutes.
Even in the event of a power outage, internal safety measures will be triggered, directly closing all the doors to the three experimental areas. The doors can only be opened after reconnecting and re-entering the password.
The entire process effectively reduces the possibility of accidents to a minimum, meaning that even without Takahashi Yu, no accidents would occur.
After all, not everyone is like the researchers in those zombie movies, who don't even know the most basic safety measures and are prone to virus leaks. I don't know how they became researchers.
Chapter 42: Chiba City, plagued by frequent disasters, the T-virus experiment.
Soon, the experiment began.
