"Chairman Bai, no, my dear Bai."

  "This is a groundbreaking technology. If you want, you can get as many Nobel Prizes in Medicine and Physiology as you want!"

  "Friends, yes, we are friends forever!"

  “I just want to ask, when will this technology be applied to me?”

  "Yeah, I'm tired of waiting to die!"

  The sterile boratory that was supposed to be quiet has now turned into a noisy vegetable market.

  Meng Yi's expression remained unchanged, with a 'kind' smile on his face, and he waited patiently for the old and young vampires to calm down.

  Nobel Prize? LOL.

  Does he, Meng, still need awards to prove himself? It's almost the other way around.

  The Nobel Committee begged him to give him the prize, but whether he would accept it or not is another matter.

  After a long while, seeing that they stopped talking, Meng Yi coughed and said.

  "Friends, as you can see, life span is no longer in God's hands, but in my hands!"

  "Let's find a quiet pce and discuss how to do this 'business'."

  The elderly vampires agreed generously.

  Money? It's just a bunch of useless numbers to them!

  Power, status? No problem!

  The table where the cake is being shared won’t mind a warm, generous, or big-hearted friend joining in.

  …

  Meng Yi ordered Alicia Marcus, who had been reborn, to stay in the boratory, slowly experience the changes in her body, and return to her personal residence when she had almost adapted.

  The rge meeting room with stairs had been used once before. The young vampire was not qualified to step into the door and was ordered by the family elders to wait at the door.

  Wonderful!

  I had expected this to happen, Meng Yi whispered to himself.

  "Psychic interference, cognitive tampering, thought stamping!"

  In an instant, the cognition of twenty-seven young vampires was tampered with.

  Absolute loyalty to Meng Yi became their only goal in life.

  After a dey of two seconds, Meng Yi walked into the rge conference room, and the warm care between "friends" could be heard on many dark screens.

  "Bai, my best friend, you don't look well?"

  "You should take more rest at ordinary times. If there is anything, ask the servants to do it. Don't tire yourself out."

  Meng Yi smiled and nodded, letting it go in one ear and out the other, just as if they were farting, a very smelly one at that.

  "'Friends', friendship is friendship, and business is business."

  "I'm a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush."

  "I need the test research and development data of "Hope Town: Elizabeth Green" that you have, as well as all biomedical research institutes including Gentech."

  "!!"

  Meng Yi's request made the old vampires furious and they compined one after another.

  "impossible!"

  "Bai, you're too greedy!"

  "You are simply the most greedy capitalist I have ever seen!"

  "We will help you rebuild a stronger Umbrel Corporation!"

  "We will help you revise the relevant ws in America!"

  "We will help you clean up the negative image of Umbrel Corporation!"

  "We will help you mobilize the army and clear out the infected in Raccoon City!"

  “Isn’t it enough to have done so much?”

  "Bai, my dearest friend, there is a word called 'enough is enough' in the Eastern country. There are too many things involved in "Hope Town: Elizabeth Green", which is far beyond our control!"

  "At most, we will hand over the information about Gentek and other research institutes within our sphere of influence to you."

  Meng Yi continued to smile, and leisurely used his little finger to pick his ear.

  "Are you done?"

  "Friends, do you know the name of the sample that Alicia Marcus fused? It's called "Immortality Gene Type 1."

  "As the name suggests, after Type 1 there will be Type 2 and Type 3..."

  "Are you satisfied with just two hundred years of life?"

  "Friends, just fool me, but don't fool yourself."

  "I have long been fascinated by the Red Light Virus Matrix and the Bck Light Virus Extension. They can greatly speed up the process of making subsequent models of the Immortality Gene."

  "I and you are both vested interests."

  "You can't do it, so why don't you invite more 'friends' to join us, so that we can all enjoy the future of immortality together?"

  "Besides, I am the only one who can perform the "immortality gene" transformation surgery at present!"

  "My friends, that's all I have to say. Think about it carefully."

  Silence, long silence.

  The elderly vampires weigh the pros and cons.

  They want to regain youth and longevity, but they don't want Meng Yi and Umbrel to completely lose control.

  Regardless of where Chairman Bai got the information about "Red Light Virus Matrix: Elizabeth Green" and "Hope Town", it is urgent to give a definite answer.

  Is this a multiple choice question?

  No, this is a single choice question with only one option, and the answer is already determined.

  When they develop greed for "extending life and achieving immortality", they lose the right to choose.

  "Hope Town: Elizabeth Green", Bcklight Virus Research Data, OK, we can give it to you."

  An old man spoke hoarsely, and then changed the subject. From his tone, one could hear the iron-blooded and murderous spirit of his former military career.

  "But, Bai, after you give us the things, you have to immediately arrange for us to undergo 'life extension' surgeries in batches!"

  "If not..., neither we nor you want to see it."

  He had lived for too long, and even participated in the Second War, so he knew how important "life expectancy" was to an old man.

  In order to live forever, they don't mind selling their souls to the devil in purgatory!

  "Of course, we're 'friends', that's easy."

  Meng Yi snapped his fingers and smiled with relief.

  "How about setting the date for a month ter? The crude surgery performed on those test subjects is not necessary on my 'honored friend'."

  "One month? That's fine."

  "Bai, you are truly the smartest human I have ever met!"

  The cunning Meng Yi succeeded in getting something for nothing, and smiled like a cunning fox who had successfully stolen a chicken.

  "My friends, I wish our friendship will st forever!"

  "That's right, that's right. Then Bai, you take a rest first. We'll see you in a month!"

  …

  The basic opinions were reached, so Meng Yi and the old vampire did not need to discuss the following details, and could just leave it to the people below to handle.

  How can a chess pyer, whose time is precious, do everything himself? Otherwise, why would he need his subordinates?

  Amidst ughter and joy, this 'transaction in the dark' ended successfully.

  Every pyer who participated in the transaction was smiling and felt that they had made a profit.

  The bck screens were turned off one by one. Meng Yi sat in the dark conference room, leaning his body against the back of his chair, staring dimly at the ceiling.

  "Red Queen."

  "Dear Chairman Bai, I'm here."

  Meng Yi was too zy to look at the holographic projection condensed around him. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and said clearly: "Five instructions."

  "First, print out a copy of Alicia Marcus's surgery data and give it to the group of young people. Ask them to take the data back."

  "yes."

  "Second, prepare to receive the gifts from our 'friends'. Organize all the research materials into categories. The 'Red Light Virus Matrix: Elizabeth Green' is imprisoned at the highest level."

  "yes."

  "Three, notify Alfred Ashford to go to the Antarctic Research Institute and ask him to bring Alexia Ashford to the Raccoon City Underground Hive."

  "yes."

  "Fourth, notify Alicia Marcus to leave the b, clean up the b, and prepare for the virus fusion surgery for me."

  "yes."

  "Five, let Luo Ji and Liu Ying, no, the fifth order is temporarily cancelled and will be discussed ter."

  "yes."

  The Red Queen's projection faded away, and Meng Yi was filled with emotion.

  "Finally, I can finally get rid of this poor body."
