The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 80 Guess Who I Am (two chapters in one)

Alex Mercer, 29 years old, Ph.D. in Genetics, Columbia University, was hired by Genetec as the chief researcher of the Black Light Project.

He spent the first nine years of his life in an orphanage and returned to his mother who had just been released from prison when he was 9 years old.

However, he preferred to remain in the orphanage.

A cruel childhood left him with no friends, no trust in anyone, and almost on the verge of being antisocial.

Work is his only pleasure.

The main work of his team is to study virus samples given by the government.

The talent in genetics not only makes Alex's scientific research far superior to other competitors, but also gives him a chance to get rid of the gloomy past.

However, his outstanding ability did not make his career flourish, but instead attracted the attention of the black watchman.

As a special elite force affiliated to the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Black Watch was specially established to deal with biological and chemical warfare.

Alex, who is proficient in virus research, is naturally regarded by them as a potential disadvantage.

Soon after, Congress learned of some of the results of the Black Light Project and decided to inspect Gentech and demand the handover of all research reports.

Since the existence of black light has always been regarded as a taboo by the government, Black Watch was worried about information leakage and decided to carry out a major purge of all relevant personnel.

On the other hand, Alex, who is prone to paranoia, also noticed that black light is not just a medicine for treating diseases, so he began to secretly investigate Gentek.

With the help of his sister Dina, he found that many people related to the project had been silenced one after another.

In order to save his life, the terrified Alex planned to flee. He stole a black light virus sample from the quarantine area, took it with him as the last insurance, and sent the laptop with confidential documents to his sister in advance.

It's a pity that Black Watch's actions were far faster than he expected.

At Pennsylvania Station, Alex, who was trying to escape by train, was cornered by the Black Watch.

(The original story of the murder took place around 1989. The aviation industry was not as developed as later generations, so I chose to escape by train, probably)

Out of rage and revenge, he shattered the test tube, releasing the virus.

The virus spread to the entire station slowly and silently. Alex was infected first, then was shot and killed by the black watch, and finally his body was transported back to Jantek for dissection and research.

Captain Charles, who came back with the corpse, was tasked with destroying the research materials in the laboratory. He happened to encounter Leon and Tommy and arrested them.

According to the plot of the game, they will first be frightened by Alex who has come back from the dead, and then they will be silenced by the Black Watch soldiers in a panic. They are the old unlucky ones.

Of course, the situation is different with Li Ang.

Captain Charles was a little surprised when he received the news from his subordinates. He knew that the virus had spread, but he didn't expect it to spread to other areas so quickly, so he immediately issued an order: "You, and you, stay and watch them, and the rest Come with me!"

With the danger of the black light virus, it is a foregone conclusion that the army will take over the city. He and his soldiers must make preparations in advance.

At this time, a soldier in charge of staying behind asked Charles in a low voice.

And Charles responded in the same tiny voice.

But this little trick couldn't be hidden from Li Ang, who had eyes and ears. He clearly heard Charles say that after brother A was dissected, he and Tommy would be disposed of.

After explaining, the captain left with most of the soldiers.

The cold morgue suddenly became less crowded, and Tommy, who had been under tremendous pressure, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, just after a while, a soldier raised his gun and threatened: "What are you waiting for, do it!"

Tommy looked at Li Ang, as if to say: "If we can't go on, if we don't start, we will be the ones who die!"

Li Ang, however, remained calm and observed the positions of the two soldiers left behind.

When the soldier's patience was almost exhausted, he pulled out wolfsbane from the equipment slot and suddenly pulled the trigger.

The tongues of fire spit out like lightning, and the roaring gunshots were life-threatening.

The two soldiers fell to the ground in an instant, each with a bullet in the middle of their eyebrows.

They didn't understand until their death why a person who had just been searched and was wearing a bloated chemical protective suit had a gun.

Li Ang deliberately took off the mask of the chemical protective suit, blew away the blue smoke from the gun, and asked, "Is he handsome?"

The strength of Black Watch is that it is a formal organization with strict discipline. Regardless of the organization, a single ordinary soldier is relatively easy to deal with.

Tommy who was questioned was thinking about another thing at this time: "You killed someone!"

Seeing his frightened look, Li Ang smiled nonchalantly and said, "Aren't you killing people every day?"

At the same time, he put his hands on his waist and shook them up and down.

Tommy immediately blushed and defended: "I have a girlfriend!"

"That's because I underestimated you." Li Ang put away his playful spirit and said seriously: "Run Tommy, take your girlfriend and leave this city, the sooner the better!"

"This is my last piece of advice to you as your boss."

Being admitted to Columbia University proves that Tommy is not an idiot. First Alex died, then the virus spread, and now the new boss killed the Black Watch people.

Any matter here is beyond the reach of an ordinary researcher like him.

"But supervisor, what will you do if I leave?"

Li Ang said coldly: "You have no right to worry about me. Go wherever you need to and get out of my sight!"

Tommy then recalled that the man in front of him was decisive and decisive, and he was obviously not an ordinary person.

"Then take care of yourself." After leaving a word, he turned around and ran away. Before leaving Gentech, he didn't forget to take a set of chemical protective suits for his girlfriend.

After the young man left, there was only one living person and three corpses left in the morgue.

How long Alex has been 'dead' is not stated clearly in the game, but with the terrifying evolution speed of black light, he should wake up soon.

Li Ang had to hurry up.

Get a syringe and a test tube.

Use a syringe to draw a part of the blood from Alex's body and put it into a test tube for preservation.

During the process, Li Ang could clearly see Brother A's eyeballs moving slightly, and his brows wrinkled into Sichuan characters due to the pain.

It shows that he can already respond to external things, and the reconstruction of the body by black light is about to be completed.

After Li Ang got what he wanted, he left the morgue without staying too long.

He wanted to find a safe place to drink the blood.

The black light virus is an infinitely evolving active chimeric pathogen with strong infectivity. It will randomly search for a cell in the human body and quickly assimilate it to obtain everything about that cell.

Afterwards, large-scale replication is carried out, and the surrounding cells are forcibly transformed until the entire human body is fully occupied.

During this period, it will lead to drastic physiological changes, expand the genetic capacity, accommodate high-quality genetically modified bodies, and increase cell activity, that is, phagocytosis, fusion with other organisms and evolution.

However, these changes are too violent for ordinary people. 99.99% of infected people will die from severe organ attenuation and cell saturation. Only a very few lucky ones can survive and obtain unexpected benefits.

The black light virus in Alex's body is the most successful and stable variant so far, so Li Ang chose him and gave up direct injection of the virus stock solution.

Take the elevator all the way up and finally reach the 51st floor of the building.

A dangerous person is imprisoned here, and few people usually set foot there, which allows Li Ang to survive the early stages of infection safely.

Since he is a dangerous person, there must be guards watching over him.

After quietly eliminating several heavily armed Black Watch soldiers, Li Ang took out an authority card from the corpse and opened the alloy door in front of him.

Behind the door is a huge and strange room, with several steel beams criss-crossing, and a transparent prison cell similar to glass is erected in the middle.

The situation inside was clear at a glance. There was only a flat steel bed with no softness at all and a woman curled up on the bed.

The woman looked very young, even immature, with a short stature and a rare orange-red hair color.Wearing a one-piece suit specially made for the experimental subject, it is not good-looking, but it shows off its figure.

Her name is Elizabeth Green, the perfect host for the Red Light Virus.

The red light and black light can actually be regarded as a kind of virus. The latter was produced based on Elizabeth's blood sample containing the red light virus, and enhanced the infectivity, the incubation period was longer, and the fatality rate was effectively reduced.

Although 99.99% and 99.999% don't seem to make much difference.

In Li Ang's plan, in addition to spending the initial stage of infection on the 51st floor, the second purpose is to meet Elizabeth.

However, the two did not communicate in any form at first.

Elizabeth continued to curl up on the bed when Leon was not there, while Leon went straight to the corner behind the glass cell and drank Alex's blood.

A few minutes later, Elizabeth seemed to have sensed something suddenly, and turned her head to look at Li Ang who had fallen to the ground.

She is only interested in the infected, and ordinary people simply cannot attract her attention.

As time went by, many densely packed small blood vessels appeared on Li Ang's body. They were intertwined and accumulated, gradually forming a giant scarlet cocoon, wrapping him tightly inside.

Elizabeth's eyes lit up instantly, and she got out of bed and walked in the direction of Leon.

Then he put one hand on the glass of the cell that separated the two, and slowly closed his eyes, as if praying for him.

Li Ang, who was in the giant cocoon at this time, was conscious, but his body was still twitching violently uncontrollably, and the memories in his brain flashed back in front of his eyes like a marquee.

At one point he thought he was going to die.

Because I once heard someone say that the presence of a marquee in front of your eyes means that your life has come to an end.

But soon Li Ang felt that he had never felt better, every cell and every tissue in his body was extremely active.

Due to being too active, his body temperature rose rapidly, and his whole body became extremely hot.

Strange patterns that seemed to be corroded began to appear on the surface of the skin, mainly concentrated on the chest, abdomen and back, which would emit a red light following the breathing.

The external changes are secondary, but the internal changes are earth-shaking.

Before Li Ang was infected with the black light virus, he had three powers in his body, but only two were left after the infection.

Among them, the weakest green herbal medicine was devoured almost immediately.

Adhering to the principle of joining if you can't beat it, the mold chooses to actively integrate into the black light, so as to retain some of its own characteristics.

Only the upgraded bloodline power is the most stubborn. It prides itself on being noble and vows not to bow its head.

Even though those who were beaten by the black light retreated steadily, they still refused to give in.

After careful observation, Li Ang found that the power of his blood was quite idealistic.

Even if the black light replicates and assimilates all his cells, as long as Li Ang thinks that he is still himself and not a collection of viruses, the power of the blood will continuously generate new power.

Magic versus technology, although I can't beat you, you can't explain me either.

The situation was so deadlocked all of a sudden.

Li Ang is happy to see the success. He has multiple strengths and multiple cards. In the future, he will not have to lose the ability to resist like Brother A when he encounters the potion specially developed by Black Watch to suppress the black light virus.

After about several hours of replication and recombination, the infection is coming to an end.

Apart from the fact that the power of the blood is still strong, every corner of Li Ang's body is full of black light virus.

Feeling that it was almost time, he tore open the thick blood cocoon and returned to the world.

"You finally woke up, my child, I am your mother." A slightly loving voice resounded in his mind.

Li Ang's first reaction after hearing this was, who is so bold and dares to take advantage of me!
Looking up, it turned out to be Elizabeth in the glass cell.

But because the cell is soundproof, she didn't use sound, but thought.

Elizabeth has an ability called brood consciousness, which is equivalent to some kind of internal network, which allows her to connect with other infected people and manipulate those low-level infected people.

Other Infected can also communicate with each other through the brood.

It sounds a bit similar to the fungus master's bacterial net.

The difference is that the bacterial net is a passive skill and will be automatically absorbed if it dies within the range. The mother nest must be allowed by Elizabeth to enter.

Or use another method like Brother A to devour other infected people who can access the brood.

"My mother is not like you." Li Ang walked around to the front of the glass cell, grabbed the handle of the cell door, and without much force, the entire door was torn off.

He was stunned for a moment. He expected that his strength would become stronger due to the infection, but he never thought it would be this big.

No wonder Brother A can fly a main battle tank with one hand, it's so cool!

Elizabeth was not surprised by this, and walked slowly to the deformed door frame, and said to him: "You haven't learned how to control your own power, I can teach you."

Lin Li added: "My child."

Li Ang frowned when he heard these words and almost couldn't help but punch her.

It's a pity that we can't fight for the time being.

Brother A can slap the main battle tank away with one slap, and Elizabeth can slap Brother A away with one slap.

Although it is in the early stage, brother A has not evolved many times, but it is enough to show that Elizabeth has been infected with the red light virus for decades.

Terrifying strength, never-aging appearance, liking to be someone else's mother, plus a mother's nest consciousness similar to a bacterial web.

Who does it remind you of?

Miranda?
No, she's Elizabeth Greene.

Even though he was still in "Prototype", Li Ang felt like he was back in "Resident Evil 8".

Question Heisenberg, Understand Heisenberg, Be Heisenberg
"Please change your name. I don't like it."

Elizabeth plausibly said: "Why? My blood is flowing on you, you are my child!"

The black light virus originated from her blood, and now Li Ang's body is full of black light, so from a certain point of view, she is right.

　The extra update will be in the afternoon, and I will report the results to everyone in the afternoon, such as how many chapters are owed in total.
