Chapter 217; Meeting Spencer, Research on Immortal Viruses, and Entering the Hive

"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?" Wesker asked as he tilted his head and glanced at the scene in the laboratory.

"I can't help it. You're dressed like a bodyguard. I'm afraid you'll destroy my store." Merlin smiled and then let him into the resting area of ​​the laboratory.

It has to be said that Wesker wears sunglasses, a black trench coat, and a proud chin, which always gives people a domineering feeling.

"My paper has been withdrawn. What did you do?" Merlin sat down across from me and got to the point first.

"Yes, Mr. Spencer has read that paper, so let me invite you. He is willing to invest in your research." Wesker nodded.

The research paper on lizard medicine published by Mei Lin was not complete, but it made great progress in experiments on mice.

So after Spencer saw the research on this lizard potion that was different from the ancestor virus, he quickly became interested.

Therefore, before the paper became famous, they bribed internal staff to withdraw the paper.

Merlin held his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Okay, my research happened to have encountered a bottleneck, but what are the conditions?"

Wesker was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the other party to be so easy to talk to. After all, their company had withdrawn the other party's paper privately. To put it bluntly, it was using power and money to suppress people.

However, he was wearing sunglasses and his expression could not be seen. He stood up as coldly as ever.

"As long as Mr. Merlin agrees, Mr. Spencer will discuss the specific conditions with you in detail and promise to satisfy you."

He came here with a message: if Merlin didn't know what to do, he would use force to bring him back.

But now that the other party understands his interests, there is no need for him.

After all, the purpose is to recruit talents, not enemies. It is best to talk in a friendly manner.

"I want to take away the things here." Wesker pointed to his laboratory and said.

"No problem, take it as you like." Merlin waved his hand indifferently.

After Umbrella employees emptied everything in the laboratory, Merlin also led Wesker to the Umbrella headquarters.

At present, the Resident Evil crisis is still in its infancy, so the situation in various places does not seem to be very tense, and with the death of the two founders, Spencer is now in charge of the entire company.

In a vast conference room, Merlin slowly opened the door, and an old man in a wheelchair with sparse white hair sat across from him.

"I really didn't expect Dr. Merlin, who wrote the lizard cross-species research paper, to be so young. He is really young and promising." Spencer showed a smile on his slightly older face and praised Merlin as he walked in.

At the same time, I also secretly felt a pity in my heart. When the team was gathered back then, it would have been nice if Merlin could have been a few years older and be as old as Wesker and the others.

"I read your thesis. Are you interested in joining our company?"

"You also know that our company is currently the largest multinational biomedical company in the world and can provide you with countless resources and knowledge."

"You can make whatever conditions you want." Spencer handed over the drafted contract.

Merlin took it and looked at it, but they all received the highest standard of treatment and were full of sincerity, but they did not have much real power.

"The government can also give me these things, but since I'm here, it means that the Umbrella Company has what I want." Merlin did not beat around the bush and stated his purpose.

"What do you want?" Spencer's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, but a glimmer of understanding flashed in his cloudy eyes, and he obviously guessed something.

Sure enough, Merlin's words were no different from his guess.

"T-Virus!"

The T-Virus is no longer a secret to many people. Information can be obtained with just a little search. In the past, Marcus relied on T-Virus research to gain a lot of benefits, threatening Spencer's rule. He was sent Go kill the spy Wesker.

"My research has also encountered a bottleneck. I hope to break this bottleneck with the T virus."

Spencer was silent for a moment after hearing this, and stared at Merlin with an inexplicable expression for a long time.

He has always wanted to develop immortal viruses, but so far, both viruses and parasites have serious flaws, and his immortality is far away.

Merlin's cross-species research is a very good direction. Even if he cannot live forever, it is possible to restore his body to his youth.

And it won't turn into an instinctive monster that speeds up metabolism, burns out the brain, and only has protein, like the T virus.

"Yes, I can provide you with equipment, funds, research materials, and even human experiments." Spencer agreed after thinking for a long time, but after finishing speaking, he also changed his tone.

"I will send an assistant to assist with your research."

It's more of an assistance than a surveillance. After all, Spencer couldn't hand over the research data of the Umbrella so easily.

"No problem, happy working together!"

"Happy cooperation!" Spencer sneered secretly, this is not cooperation!

Merlin's research was very important to his plan to become a god, live forever, and lead human evolution. He didn't mind the other party's arrogance.

…………

After signing the new contract with Spencer, the two chatted for a while, and Merlin left the conference room under the leadership of his assistant and headed to the hive underground in Raccoon City.

When he arrived in front of the elevator, a woman with blond curly hair, wearing a white suit, capable temperament, exquisite facial features, and exuding charisma appeared in front of him.

"Hello, Mr. Merlin, I am Alex Wesker, your assistant."

"I will lead you from now on." Alex smiled at Merlin and stretched out her hand.

Alex Wesker, like Albert Wesker, is a surviving member of Wesker's plan.

But unlike Albert Wesker, who became Superman, she just became an ordinary survivor and has been doing research on Spencer's immortal virus.

Of course, like Albert Wesker, he also inherited Spencer's selfish cold-bloodedness and betrayed Spencer in the end.

"Thank you!" Merlin nodded and thanked him, then led him through the layers of defenses and took the elevator to the underground Hive Research Institute.

"Record your iris and fingerprints first. Your permission is level three. You can freely enter and exit the various laboratories of the hive. However, you need to report before leaving the hive." After arriving inside the hive, Alex took out her employee badge and scanned it at Merlin. Read it again.

Then he took out various devices to record Merlin's irises and fingerprints, and then took him to the T-Virus Research Institute.

On the way, Alex explained Merlin's responsibilities to him.

"It will take some time for your laboratory to be freed up. Before that, you can get familiar with the research on T virus."
