Rockford Island sank, and the Antarctic Research Institute exploded.

The only sample of Veronica virus sank into the deep sea of ​​Antarctica along with Alexia.

Although he didn't know whether Wesker escaped or not, Lu Qi was not too disappointed with this trip to Antarctica.

At least having the relevant research information on the Veronica virus in your pocket is better than nothing.

However, when he opened the research information in the USB flash drive and looked through it carefully, he found an unexpected surprise.

It turns out that the former head of the Asifo family, Alexander Asifo, anticipated that the virus might mutate out of control during the development of the Veronica virus.

In order to control the out-of-control virus experimental subjects, he also secretly developed a killer weapon - an anti-B.O.W linear particle cannon!

This kind of particle cannon is similar to the electromagnetic gun. It has absolute lethality against powerful B.O.W. However, it also has the same shortcomings.

Obtaining the research and development information of the linear particle cannon strengthened Lu Qi's determination to cooperate with Sanlian Company.

After all, with his own strength, he would not be able to develop and improve the technology of this advanced black technology weapon.

In order to deal with the tyrant and a powerful B.O.W like Wesker in the future, he needs this kind of big killer weapon that can turn defeat into victory!

On the other side, Umbrella Company also learned about the situation at Rockford Island and the Antarctic Research Institute.

In order to find out the truth, Umbrella Company immediately dispatched two teams from the U.S.S. Army to investigate.

The troops heading to Rockford Island, under the command of "Death" Hank, used underwater salvage equipment to find some corpses infected with the T-virus.

Other than that, I didn't get much useful information.

But there was no news from another unit that went to the Antarctic Research Institute.

Having lost personnel and not getting any useful information, the Umbrella Company had no choice but to give up temporarily.

Just like this, in the world situation where the undercurrent is surging, time goes by like this, bit by bit...

...

Three months later, March 15, 1999.

This is a very important day for Alfonso Gioni.

Because, on this day, he was officially appointed by Sanlian Headquarters as the head of the pharmaceutical department of the African Division!

Since buying the research and development information of the T-virus from Lu Qi, Alfonso immediately started the research and development of the new B.O.W.

In the face of comprehensive sanctions, B.O.W's market share is still firmly controlled by umbrella companies.

However, the new B.O.W developed by the R&D team led by Alfonso has grabbed some market share for Sanlian Company.

Alfonso, who had made remarkable achievements, was naturally appreciated by the top management, so he kicked out David Travis, who had been doing nothing, and successfully became the head of the pharmaceutical department of the African branch.

In order to celebrate his promotion, the happy Alfonso specially hosted a banquet for Lu Qi at home.

In addition to the sumptuous meal prepared by Alfonso's wife, he also brought Excella over from Italy, who was on vacation, in order to show that he attached great importance to this cooperative relationship.

"cheers!"

There was a "pong" sound, a few champagne glasses, and a light clink.

Alfonso, who put the slightly sweet champagne into his mouth and couldn't contain the joy in his eyes, looked at Lu Qi sitting opposite and said sincerely:

"Alex, thank you very much for coming. This means a lot to me!"

Alfonso knew very well that the reason why he was able to sit in this position was due to the young Asian man in front of him and the mysterious organization behind him.

If he wants to continue to climb up and gain more power, he must maintain a good relationship with the other party...

Hearing this, Lu Qi, who was sitting across the dining table and dressed in a black suit, smiled slightly, waved his hand and said:

"You're welcome, we are not only collaborators, but also friends. Isn't it a very common thing to accept a friend's invitation and have dinner together?"

"you're right!"

After saying that, Lu Qi turned to look at Alfonso's wife diagonally opposite, gave a thumbs up and praised:

"I have to say, madam, your craftsmanship is really memorable and lingering. Compared with the chefs in high-end restaurants outside, it is not inferior at all!"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment, just like it."

Seeing her father's happy look, Axela, who was sitting aside and wearing a floral dress, blinked her big curious eyes and secretly looked at Lu Qi while muttering in her mind:

How many secrets does this man have...

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner, Alfonso invited Lu Qi to the study to discuss the details of further cooperation between the two parties.

As a spectator, Axela also followed the two of them into the study.

After sitting down one by one, Alfonso, as the host, asked:

"Alex, what would you like to drink?"

"Give me a cup of tea."

Hearing this, Alfonso nodded to his precious daughter on the side and ordered: "Exela, pour a cup of tea for your distinguished guest, I want a cup too."

In front of her father, this talented girl with a beautiful face and a devilish figure, who looked down on other men, seemed like an obedient and good girl.

"Okay, Father."

After watching Excella go to make tea for the two of them, Lu Qi looked away and said casually:

"I heard that the B.O.W produced by Sanlian Company has been very popular on the black market recently, which is really gratifying."

"That's all thanks to your help..."

When the steaming hot tea was placed on the coffee table, Lu Qi seemed to have remembered something and suddenly said:

"By the way, I almost forgot... To congratulate you on your promotion, I have a gift for you."

While talking, Lu Qi took out a paper document from the document bag he carried with him and put it on the coffee table.

Seeing this, Alfonso was startled for a moment, and then asked: "What is this? Is it another new virus?"

"That's not true. It's a weapon you can definitely use."

"arms?"

In doubt, Alfonso picked up the file and started browsing.

As he flipped through the contents of the document, Alfonso's expression became brighter as he read further.

Taking a long breath and suppressing the surprise in his heart, Alfonso raised his head and looked at Lu Qi,

"This gift is too valuable, and you are too kind..."

I picked up the tea cup, leaned in and smelled it, and then took a sip. The sweet and fragrant tea flavor immediately occupied my taste buds.

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Qicai said leisurely:

"I said, what we can provide you is far more than the T-Virus. This is our sincerity..."

Looking at her father who couldn't control his emotions, Axela, who was sitting aside, was a little curious and couldn't help but pick up the file and check it out.

When she saw the various drawings and data on the document, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and exclaimed involuntarily:
Chapter completed!
