"Don't worry, I will personally monitor the T-Virus. I won't allow the T-Virus to go out of control."
Seeing Wang Kai here, the team leader immediately understood the reason for Wang Kai's visit.
"With you in charge, I can rest assured. After all, we still have to survive on Earth. Once we develop a spaceship, we can take a huge leap in researching the T-Virus. At least, we will have a path of retreat."
Wang Kai replied. As long as they could travel to space, even if Earth was destroyed, they would have a path of retreat.
"Oh right, Professor Ashford wants the rapid response department to search for a virus in West Africa. His inspiration for researching the T-Virus was derived from this virus. Moreover, it was also the same virus he used."
The team leader agreed with Wang Kai's words. At the same time, he also informed Wang Kai of another matter.
"What virus?"
Wang Kai asked.
"It's said to be a virus extracted from a flower. That flower is known as the 'Stairway of the Sun' in West Africa. Professor Ashford has named this virus as the 'Progenitor Virus'."
The team leader explained. Regarding the T-Virus project, the team leader had been paying close attention to it from start to finish.
"Stairway of the Sun!
Progenitor Virus! "
Wang Kai recalled where he had heard of this before. This was something from the game, not the movie. Due to the limited space in the movie, only the T-Virus and G-Virus were shown. Moreover, these two viruses were developed from the 'Progenitor Virus'.
The 'Stairway of the Sun' was a type of plant in West Africa. In ancient times, West Africa was ruled by the Ndipaya Empire. The Empire's king possessed boundless authority, and was worshipped by his subjects as a deity 'closest to the Sun God'. There was a myth passed down in the Ndipaya tribe – their king possessed a lifespan of hundreds of years, and was brave, fearless, and invulnerable to swords and spears. However, becoming the king of the Ndipaya Empire was an exceedingly arduous path. This was because the succession of the Ndipaya Empire's throne didn't rely on blood relations. They maintained the traditional method of election, where the elected leader had to pass the test of the Sun God to become king. This test was known as the 'Stairway of the Sun' ceremony.
In the core underground region of the Ndipaya Empire, there was a flowerbed. This flowerbed was planted with the sacred artifact of the Ndipaya Empire, the 'Stairway of the Sun' flower. This flower contained a highly toxic substance. Only a select few who were approved by the Sun God could survive after consuming this flower. To become king, consuming this flower was an inevitable test. Moreover, this flower would bestow upon the new king a long lifespan and formidable strength. For thousands of years, the Ndipaya Empire had relied on this method to select their own leaders, and treat them as people approved by the Sun God.
In Wang Kai's opinion, this method of inheritance was to select individuals who were immune to the 'Progenitor Virus', just like how Alice was immune to the T-Virus. Moreover, one could obtain true abilities through the virus.
The Ndipaya Empire of West Africa was precisely utilizing the 'Stairway of the Sun' to select individuals with immunity genes. In Wang Kai's opinion, the descendants of those who could pass the 'Stairway of the Sun' test should also have the possibility of inheriting this gene. Otherwise, if one's luck was bad, and only a king emerged from the test, that country would no longer have any value to exist.
Of course, the Ndipaya Empire ultimately perished. They migrated from underground to the surface, and began to face the tides of the world's revolution. Hence, their demise was inevitable. As for the reason for their migration, one could infer it from the murals of the Ndipaya Empire ruins. In the underground world of the Ndipaya Empire, dreadful monsters had emerged. These monsters had the body of a human, but had numerous tentacles. These monsters tore apart the local residents, leaving shattered corpses strewn across the ground. Meanwhile, in the sacred land of the Ndipaya Empire, two gigantic monsters were currently wrestling atop the flowerbed of the 'Stairway of the Sun'.
Wang Kai was certain that this was the result of a virus mutation. The virus mutated the human body into a zombie type monster. This should be the earliest 'Resident Evil'.
The 'Progenitor Virus' could develop into many things. T-virus, G-virus, T-Veronica virus, T-Abyss virus, T-Nemisis parasite, Las virus.
Plagas-II parasite (Makini), Las virus.
Plagas-III parasite, Uroboros virus, C-Virus. Any one of these could destroy the world.
Yet now, Ashford actually wanted to search for the 'Stairway of the Sun' to research the 'Progenitor Virus'. This caused Wang Kai to hesitate, fearing that things would spiral out of control.
"What's your opinion?"
Wang Kai asked the team leader. It was better to listen to a professional.
"Obtain the 'Stairway of the Sun', and simultaneously destroy the remaining 'Stairway of the Sun'. Preserve our uniqueness."
The team leader replied. The team leader was truly ruthless. He actually wanted to destroy the external 'Stairway of the Sun', and only allow Ambrera S.A. to control it.
"Fine. Pass down the order to Wade. Tell them to be careful. Make sure they don't get infected by the virus. Adjust the security level of the 'Progenitor Virus' to the highest."
Wang Kai felt that even if Ambrera S.A. didn't obtain the 'Stairway of the Sun', there would be other companies searching for it. At that time, the situation would become even more uncontrollable. Only by grasping all the dangers in their own hands could Wang Kai feel safe.
"I know. I also want to see if the 'Stairway of the Sun' is as miraculous as the legends say. Professor Ashford showed me the legends. Perhaps this is the opportunity for human evolution. It's a pity that we can no longer obtain the genes of the former Ndipaya Empire King. We can only slowly research it."
The team leader said regretfully. If they could obtain the genes of the Ndipaya Empire King, they would be able to save a lot of trouble. Now, they would have to start all over again.
"Shi Deng, you're a genius. There's nothing that can't stump you. We don't need to rush this matter. Take it slow."
Wang Kai was full of confidence in the team leader. The team leader was also a superpower user. Superpowers users should be different from ordinary people. Even if they were compared to ordinary geniuses, they should be more outstanding.
"Kai, you're really confident in me."
The team leader looked at Wang Kai and said. In the field of scientific research, Wang Kai had always believed in him. This made the team leader feel very touched.
"Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to be my partner."
Wang Kai said to the team leader. Who asked him to be a 'prophet'? He knew that the team leader's intelligence was outstanding. Otherwise, how could he find you so accurately?
After confirming that the Rapid Response Department would search for the 'Stairway of the Sun' in West Africa, Wang Kai used the internal phone to call Wade. After a while, Wade, wearing a skull mask, arrived at the team leader's office.
"Wade, are you hot? Why are you wearing this thing every day?"
Wang Kai looked at Wade, who still wrapped himself up tightly in the company. He was speechless. Wade still didn't have confidence.
