North Africa, desperate virus laboratory.

Bai Ye had a remote video call with Serioel Stern.

"Master Sten, you made two suggestions yesterday and asked me to choose. I went back last night and thought about it again and again. I think that only children make choices. Adults, of course, want all of them." He clenched his fists and said, "Extremis virus version 2.0 can be civilianized. It is a money-making tool and a cash cow. This research and development direction is very necessary. It is a shield that can protect our base. Extremis virus version 3.0 is a powerful weapon, a sword that can forge our offensive power. It is best for the two to complement each other."

During the conversation between Bai Ye and Serio Stern yesterday, after Serio Stern got the plan for the 1.0 version of the Extremis virus, he fully praised Killian's talent in bioengineering. However, after he conducted many experiments, he regretfully told Bai Ye that the failure rate of the enhancement of the 1.0 version of the Extremis virus was reduced to as low as 30%, and there was no major direction to reduce the failure rate further.

Afterwards, Serioel Stern proposed two research directions: Extremis Virus Version 2.0 and Extremis Virus Version 3.0, and asked Bai Ye to choose.

"I see..." Serioel Stern scratched his head and said, "It's not impossible, but if I have to do it all by myself, I might not be able to handle it. It's better to divide it into two laboratories and conduct research and development separately."

"Yes." Bai Ye thought for a while and said, "I will transfer an A-level bioengineer from the Osborn Group to North Africa to preside over the work of this laboratory. Master Stern, you will be in charge of the development of Extremis 3.0 Get to work, this North African lab is working on version 2.0 of Extremis."

For Bai Ye, the work on version 3.0 of the Extremis virus is obviously more important, and he feels more at ease handing this work over to the S-level Serioel Sten.

As for the extremis virus version 2.0 used to collect money, it is certainly a icing on the cake, but it doesn't have much impact on Bai Ye.

"I'm fine." Serioel Stern sighed again and said, "In fact, I don't necessarily need to be in charge of the research on Extremis virus version 3.0. Transferring an A-level biological engineer from the Osborne Group to Hengsan may do a better job than me, because the research in these two directions is based on the Extremis virus version 1.0. It is not too difficult. It mainly involves some very tedious work and engineering problems. I am not good at this, just like Killian developed the Extremis virus version 1.0 before me."

"Ah, this..." Bai Ye hesitated, "The main reason is that the Osborne Group is short of manpower recently. Every A-level engineer is a treasure. They must be responsible for an important experimental project. It is not easy to transfer one out. Transferring two... It's too difficult. Maybe I have to trouble Master Sten for a while. Those who are capable should do more work. Master Sten, we really can't do it without you!!"

In fact, Bai Ye himself is the best candidate. With the talent of his super brain, it is difficult for him to research the Extremis Virus 1.0 from scratch, but it is very convenient to use it for repetitive verification work such as Extremis Virus 2.0 and Extremis Virus 3.0.

But Bai Ye has an impetuous personality. How could he spend a lot of time on scientific research and endure loneliness and boredom? If he had this time, he would definitely use it to flirt with his sister.

Still the same sentence, if there are subordinates who can do it, he can just sit and enjoy the ride, why should he go into battle by himself?

Bai Ye’s abilities are so strong now that he can do anything easily. So does he have to spend all his time on these things instead of enjoying himself?

Impossible!

Serioel Stern scratched his head again: "I see."

It's a life of hard work, there's nothing I can do about it.

After ending the call with Serio Stern, Bai Ye smiled and lit a cigarette: "This guy is really easy to deal with. As long as we flatter him a little more, we can control him. He is completely different from the ambitious Killian."

"Alas." Bai Ye's face became sad again: "It's different from Maya Hansen who has a head full of white leftist ideas."

Killian's problem has been solved, and Maya Hansen's problem is about to explode.

Bai Ye really didn't know what sins he had done in his previous life that made him meet Killian and Maya Hansen, the perfect couple.

Walking out of the laboratory, Bai Ye came to the outside of the base.

Several fit people of Desperate Virus are challenging each other, fighting with the strongest unlimited fighting skills, guiding their talents to the limit.

There were members of the Suicide Squad nearby, watching the fun.

"Master Bai Ye." Barney, the captain of the death squad, came to Bai Ye, rubbed his hands and asked with a smile: "Have we completed our mission this time? Is there anything else?"

To be honest, Barney thought that this time when he followed Bai Ye to North Africa to complete a mission worth 800 million US dollars, they would be faced with a tough battle. He was prepared for combat casualties. Unexpectedly, when attacking the Roxxon base, several of Bai Ye's desperate virus adaptable people broke out and defeated Roxxon's team with ease, making it impossible for their suicide squad to play any role. They successfully captured a base. The mission was too easy to complete, and he just followed them for a trip. He felt a little guilty about taking the 800 million US dollars.

"Oh, the task has been completed. I will notify the bank to transfer the money to you."

Bai Ye took out his cell phone.

In fact, when Bai Ye brought the Suicide Squad here, he had no idea that he would be able to create people adaptable to the Extremis virus, so he needed a group of cannon fodder to serve as the vanguard. He brought them here just to use them as cannon fodder. But now, although the Suicide Squad has taken a ride, they have also taken risks after all, so Bai Ye would not cheat them of even this little money.

soon.

Barney's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that the bank transfer information had arrived.

He smiled and thanked: "Thank you, young master! You are so generous, it is a pleasure to cooperate with you. If there is such a thing in the future, you can call us."

Each member of their suicide squad will receive more than 100 million U.S. dollars this time, which is already a lot. If they spend it frugally, it will be enough to last for several years.

"no problem."

Bai Ye nodded in agreement.

Whenever I need cannon fodder in the future, I will definitely not forget you.

Any person in a high position would certainly not be bothered by having too many cannon fodder at his disposal.

"Well..." After receiving the mission money from Bai Ye, Barney did not intend to leave immediately. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Master Bai Ye, it seems that your Osborn laboratory has already found a special drug that is strong enough to strengthen the human body. I wonder what the conditions are for outsiders to be injected with this drug?"

After seeing the powerful combat capability of the desperate virus adaptable person, Barney and the others felt a strong sense of crisis, because the desperate virus adaptable person could sweep away a group of them alone, which was too scary.

If the number of people who are adapted to the Extremis virus increases in the future, how can soldiers like them have the opportunity to complete missions?

The living space has been completely squeezed out.

Barney came to Bai Ye just to ask if they had a chance to be injected with this biological agent. If they didn't have the chance, Barney also wanted to test whether the desperate virus adaptors would be widely popularized in the future.

"It's very simple to become a desperate virus adaptor. There are no special restrictions for anyone. All you need is a suitable price." Bai Ye raised a finger and said, "One hundred million dollars! With only one hundred million dollars, you can become a desperate virus adaptor who can do anything, invulnerable to swords and guns, and immortal. With only one hundred million dollars, you can't afford to suffer any loss or be cheated!"

Barney: “…”

"Master Bai Ye, you are joking." Barney said helplessly, "Look at us soldiers. Do we look like we have $1 million? Even if we had $1 million, we wouldn't come here to be mercenaries. We would all travel around the world and enjoy life."

"That's no use." Bai Ye said regretfully, "One hundred million dollars is the cost price. The bottom line is that we have a good relationship. If it's an outsider, I will sell him a tube of serum for $2 million."

Barney left Bai Ye with satisfaction.

It seems that the desperate virus adaptogens will not be able to take away their business. The cost of producing an individual adaptogen is $100 million. Even the US military cannot afford to support many of them. Most missions still have to be done by people like them.

……

Bai Ye stayed in North Africa for another two days, and finished all the matters. Osborne's A-level engineers were in place, so he flew back to New York.

Tian Yangsheng, Gao Jin, Tian Yangyi and others also left with Bai Ye, leaving behind 10 people who were able to withstand the desperate virus to guard the North African laboratory.

Unless monsters of the level of the Hulk and Thor ran to North Africa to cause trouble, otherwise, the 10 people with the Extremis virus would be crippled and sent back even if Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Falcon went there together.

JFK Airport.

When Bai Ye and his men walked out of the airport, they saw Andy waiting for them.

"Andy, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much!"

Bai Ye laughed loudly, stepped forward, picked Andy up and swung him around.

"Let me go! Let me go!" Andy punched Bai Ye's chest with his little fist in Bai Ye's arms, and said unhappily: "How old are you? You're still playing this kind of childish trick?"

"I'm just an 18-year-old and 70-month-old baby!"

Bai Ye smiled and let Andy go.

The two got into Andy's car.

Bai Ye picked up his mobile phone and opened Twitter to see if there was anything new happening in New York during the few days he was away.

did not expect.

As soon as he opened Twitter, he was pushed the news of the retirement of Fuli Ji, who he had followed for a long time.

[It's getting harder and harder to make money recently. Guys, I want to change jobs. Is there any job recommendation that can earn $3 a month? It's not illegal.]

Bai Ye thought about it and gave a reply:

【Go sell loquats! 】

Chapter 125 Good people will fight to the end

You know, even Parker's Aunt May only has an annual income of 4 to 5 US dollars, and a welfare girl wants to earn 3 US dollars a month after retiring. Bai Ye can't think of any other way for her to earn 3 US dollars a month except for the job of "selling loquats".

Andy glanced at Bai Ye's phone screen and was speechless:

"Are you bored?"

"Haha, let's have some fun." Bai Ye said with a smile, "If we keep a straight face all the time and have no emotions, wouldn't life be too boring?"

He sighed and said:

"This world is becoming more and more materialistic and indifferent. Everyone is only interested in money. I have seen many girls who don't work hard to learn skills and improve their academic qualifications, and only want to make money! Once they take this step, they will become the same in the end: they speak more eloquently than a bicycle, scream louder than an ambulance, spray more than a fire truck, pick up more frequently than a bus, play more extravagantly than an off-road vehicle, move more excitedly than a sports car, and finally, wow! They can hold more than a train!"

Andy didn't want to discuss this issue with Bai Ye. She was not interested in welfare girls or anything like that. She asked without further ado:

"How did things go when you went to North Africa this time? Was the technology of the Extremis virus not leaked?"

"It's OK." Bai Ye briefly explained the matter, and then said: "Before Killian died, those who are adapted to the Extremis virus also interrogated him. Killian did give Roxxon some superficial techniques, but the core ones have not been leaked. After all, he is not a fool and will not give Roxxon the opportunity to get rid of him."

Andy frowned and said, "Roxxon's strength should not be underestimated. They can create biochemical monsters. Are you sure Roxxon can't copy the Extremis virus based on the information Killian gave?"

"You don't understand technology, how can things be so simple?" Bai Ye laughed. The Extremis virus is a combination of the wisdom of Tony and Serioel Stern, two of the top 10 IQs in the Marvel world. How can it be so easy to copy? The information Killian gave Roxxon did not even fully incorporate Maya Hansen's wisdom. It was too far away. Unless Roxxon could find two or three Tonys and then work hard on research for a few years, maybe there would be hope. But if Roxxon had such a rich talent pool, why would he have to fight Bai Ye to the death for the Extremis virus? There are countless other research directions for them to show their talents: "In short, you don't have to worry about Roxxon's affairs, just leave it to me."

"Okay then." Andy nodded and said, "It's almost time to close the net over Maya Hansen's matter. Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make the decision for you."

"Oh?" Bai Ye raised his eyebrows: "What is Maya Hansen going to do?"

Andy said expressionlessly, "We have roughly figured out the situation. According to the information we have, Maya Hansen plans to copy the technology of the Extremis virus and then take it to the Rising Tide organization. Then, she will appropriately disclose part of it on the Internet, so that the public will condemn Osborn for treating human lives as a joke for biological experiments and ignoring the lives of civilians. She will use the power of online public opinion to suppress you."

"You also want to announce to the public that you didn't take human life seriously during the development of the Extremis virus. Once you successfully developed the virus and had a team with the ability of the virus, you would definitely become more ambitious and get involved in more evil. By then, countless people would die because of an ambitious person like you."

"Damn it! This Maya Hansen really wants to die!" Bai Ye was so angry that he couldn't help but curse: "There are so many American tycoons, how many of them take the lives of ordinary people seriously? She doesn't expose so many ugly things, but just picks me to bully, right? Damn it! She even wants to expose me and use public opinion to suppress me? Does she know that the media is also a pillar industry of the American tycoons? Does she know what information suppression by the American tycoons means?"

There are so many scandals in the United States, how many of them are known to the public? When a Zheng Zhi scandal is about to break out, if you are given the whole Hollywood news, do you think people prefer to watch Zheng Zhi or entertainment news?

"Damn! It looks like we can't keep Maya Hansen anymore. We have to find a way to deal with her as soon as possible. New York won't allow such a powerful person to exist."

If Maya Hansen really made a big deal about the Extremis virus, perhaps Osborn would have a way to suppress the incident, but at that time he would definitely have to exchange interests with other chaebols, and his core interests would also be damaged. So in the end it would be simpler to deal with Maya Hansen, the person who raised the problem.

A red light flickered faintly in Bai Ye's eyes.

"Besides Maya Hansen, did Betty Ross from AIM cause any trouble?"

"Speaking of Betty Ross, she is not a worry-free person either." Andy shook his head and said, "She seems to be particularly interested in Maya Hansen. We have used various means to isolate her from Maya Hansen, but she herself is still unaware and is trying her best to talk to Maya Hansen. I don't know if she wants to contact Maya Hansen, the creator of the Extremis virus, for scientific research purposes, or if she herself... is interested in the Extremis virus."

"I see." Bai Ye touched his chin and said, "I have to find a way to get in touch with this woman recently. I have some business to discuss with her father, General Ross."

"The Extremis virus project?"

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded and said, "The Extremis virus is the first project that can mass-produce super soldiers. There are huge interests involved. Even if Osborn wants to keep it all to himself, it will be difficult. He must start to win over allies. General Ross will be a good choice because he is extremely obsessed with the super soldier project and will be willing to pay a greater price for the Extremis virus project."

"Also, Andy, go register another company, Pluto Security."

"Again?" Andy's eyes widened. "Now I help you manage AIM and Snap, and you want me to help you manage a security company?"

"There is nothing we can do about it. The more capable you are, the more work you should do!" Bai Ye said shamelessly, "Who told you that you are so capable? This Pluto Security will be the strongest sword of our Galaxy Group in the future. A manager must have super strong abilities and absolute trust. Besides you, who else around me can take on this important task?"

Andy rolled his eyes: "You just say nice things to me all day long."

"Hehe, actually you don't have to worry too much. AIM will be reorganized soon and transformed into a brand new company, Saturn Bio. In addition to the Extremis virus, it will also be involved in some biopharmaceutical work. It is a professional biotechnology group." Bai Ye said: "And the establishment of Pluto Security... is to be responsible for managing the fit people of the Extremis virus."

Bai Ye came up with this idea when Barney was testing how Bai Ye planned to use the desperate virus.

There is more to developing the Extremis virus than just offering $1 million for the US military to purchase in batches. Bai Ye can simply set up a security company, or a PMC company, whose members will be those who are able to withstand the Extremis virus.

A PMC company composed entirely of extraordinary people can completely undertake tasks that many mercenaries are simply unable to complete, and can also earn mission rewards that many ordinary mercenaries dare not even dream of.

$1 million for one Desperate Virus enhancement spot is indeed a bit expensive. Even the U.S. military cannot purchase too much, which greatly limits Bai Ye's speed in making money.

So you don't have $1 million, but you can spend a few million or tens of millions of dollars to buy a group of extraordinary people to perform tasks that are impossible for ordinary people. Is that okay?

Save worry and trouble.

If some wealthy people want to do something dangerous and their lives are threatened, they can hire a group of Pluto Security members as bodyguards.

In short, the establishment of this PMC company can greatly enhance the ability of the Desperate Virus to make money, and by the way, it can also support the war by fighting, helping Bai Ye maintain a huge force.

When Pluto has thousands of members, Bai Ye will wonder who would dare to try to steal his experimental results like Rockson did several times?

Even the owner of the White House probably wouldn't dare to raise his voice to him, right?

After listening to Bai Ye's description, Andy nodded thoughtfully: "It seems that this Pluto Security is indeed necessary to establish. In addition to being able to grow rapidly in a snowball manner to provide funds for the development of Extremis Virus Version 2.0 and Extremis Virus Version 3.0, it also makes us more powerful as a group. But Bai Ye, the White House can't let you increase the number of Pluto Security indefinitely, right? If Pluto Security really has thousands of members, who has the final say in America? The owner of the White House and that group of tycoons would rather drop a nuclear bomb on New York than see a scene where thousands of Extremis virus-adapted people are in the hands of you, Osborn."

"Let's expand first, and we can deal with other problems when the time comes." Bai Ye said, "Even if Pluto Security can't have thousands of members, with 2 or 3 members, we can become one of the strongest financial groups in the United States, no less than the top ten financial groups. And don't think that those big financial groups don't have other means. Think about it, even Roxxon can develop biochemical monsters, don't other financial groups have any preparation in this regard? Look at the Texas Financial Group, which is involved in so many military industries. When it comes to using violence, others are not so easy to bully."

"Okay, I get it." Andy said slowly, "Registration is too troublesome. I'll consider acquiring a few PMC companies and security companies on the verge of bankruptcy, and then reorganizing them into Pluto Security. The security personnel inside can be omitted, but some information channels are necessary. As for whether Pluto Security can become bigger, it still depends on how many American military interest groups you can win over."

"Don't worry, leave the social issues to me." Bai Ye said with a smile: "Those gentlemen who value their lives must also want to have an extraordinary person as a bodyguard."

Andy thought for a moment and said, "Bai Ye, I suddenly thought of a question."

"explain."

"If you produce a large number of people with the Extremis virus for America, will it cause an imbalance in world power?" Andy said worriedly: "Nuclear bombs have ensured world peace for decades, but the emergence of extraordinary people is a new variable."

"Not really, not really." Bai Ye waved his hands and said, "The power of the Extremis virus is quite good, but not to the extent of Black Superman. The Extremis virus can also kill the fittest. The thermal weapons in the modern world are more powerful than you think. A missile can blow the fittest to ash and it will be difficult to recover."

"Is that so? Then I'll be relieved."

Andy breathed a sigh of relief.
