69: Chapter 69 Rebirth of the Umbrella Company

...

While the world was fiercely fighting over territories...

A young man named Evan returned to his room. It was a villa located about 2 kilometers from the Fourth Bio-Science Institute, and when he had nothing to do, he could only stay here.

Covering over 500 square meters, it had dedicated staff supplying food, drink, and entertainment. He could even scavenge for tech junk in his spare time. If not for his ideals, Lin Fang might have really considered embracing this idle, parasitic lifestyle.

This was the benefit of information asymmetry.

But when he woke up again today, looking at the surveillance cameras filling the room and seeing that the weighting had already reached 53%... Lin Fang decided to stop playing the disguise game. It was time to speedrun!

The Venom icon in the warehouse disappeared. A mass of black, viscous substance appeared in Lin Fang's hand and gradually merged with him.

"Fang! Why did you get uglier?!"

A ferocious black head emerged, looking around with confusion. "There's a rotten smell in the air. It's different from before."

"Because this is a new world."

"Really? I can't wait!" Hearing this, Venom excitedly tried to burrow into Lin Fang's body.

"Evan, what is that?!"

A surprised voice sounded from the monitor—it was the butler who usually took care of Lin Fang's daily life. Then, the sound of someone rushing up the stairs could be heard.

Lin Fang simply gave a friendly smile towards the surveillance camera.

The next instant,

The entire villa and its clamor vanished. A black figure plummeted from the sky and landed on the ground at high speed. It was a figure whose codename would surely be greeted with enthusiastic cheers by the people of another world: Raiders!

*Thud—*

With a wave of his hand, the entire villa reappeared over two meters above the ground and crashed down heavily.

Emm... Lin Fang indicated he had tried his best to aim.

The few figures inside the villa were thrown into disarray, forced to watch helplessly as this black monster sped rapidly towards the outskirts of the city.

Evan... what on earth is this thing!

Having successfully crossed the strait, Lin Fang arrived in Japan by evening the next day. The hardships along the way were not worth mentioning.

The bustling neon lights indicated that order still remained on this island, which had apparently weathered the blow of the T-Virus. This fact surprised Lin Fang somewhat.

Tokyo's streets were plastered with recruitment posters offering exceptionally generous benefits, with people promoting them at every intersection.

Evening was the liveliest time. This brown-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian youth walking down the street stood out conspicuously, attracting many pitying glances from the Japanese.

The former hegemon had fallen to the status of a stray dog, while their own imperial army was waging war on the land that once belonged to them. The empire was about to usher in even greater glory.

Lin Fang took out the phone he had snatched. On Japan's largest forum, things were bustling. Some were rejoicing at the arrival of the T-Virus and the new world order it would bring, while others were complaining about the military aggression of the two neighboring superpowers.

When the cake is placed right before your eyes, everyone loses their restraint.

Arriving at the city center,

Lin Fang circled around several times but couldn't find the location of the original Umbrella Corporation building. This was his purpose for coming to Tokyo. If Isaac wasn't dead, the most likely hiding place would be the underground base beneath Tokyo.

After some searching,

Lin Fang finally learned that the site of the original Umbrella Corporation building had been taken over by another new company—the largest building he had just passed by.

"Reborn Umbrella... Reborn Umbrella Corporation?"

So obvious? Lin Fang scratched his head, looking at the company name. He really hadn't noticed it earlier.

Upon entering, a sweet-looking girl in a white uniform immediately approached him.

"Sir, how may I help you?"

Lin Fang stated truthfully, "I'm looking for Isaac."

Just as Lin Fang finished speaking, a surveillance camera slowly turned towards them.

The sweet girl thought for a moment, then showed an apologetic expression. "Sir, we don't have anyone named Isaac here. Please... Ah!"

She couldn't utter another word, staring in horror as the man transformed into a black monster over three meters tall. A massive hole had appeared on the ground, its edges as smooth as if meticulously carved.

"Your head looks delicious!"

Venom licked its lips at her before jumping straight down into the hole.

The poor receptionist fainted from fright.

—

"So there's a Hive Base under Tokyo too,"

After sealing the hole back up, Lin Fang carefully examined the layout of this underground base. It was practically a carbon copy of the one in Raccoon City.

No, this one was larger in scale. This was the true Hive Base.

[Intruder, you are ordered to leave immediately.]

Red Queen's voice sounded from the speakers, but Venom paid no heed. After casually knocking down dozens of armed personnel, it continued descending.

These should all be Clones.

The Hive's defense system was like a useless decoration before Venom.

Upon reaching the bottom level, a blond man with slicked-back hair and sunglasses blocked Venom's path.

Wesker.

Lin Fang observed him for a moment. Indeed, the original had more imposing presence than the copy. His body had also been modified, forcing Venom to use two punches to send him flying.

A few minutes later,

Just as Venom was about to smash open the laboratory door ahead, it automatically slid open. Isaac appeared, his face filled with despair. "Who are you people? Why do you know so much about Umbrella?!"

Not interested in wasting words, Lin Fang directly absorbed this major boss.

Admiring the vast Hive Base,

To be honest, Lin Fang felt the urge to take charge. This was far better than dealing with cold data and viruses. But he needed to consult the original owner's opinion.

Half an hour later, Lin Fang released Isaac and earnestly presented his proposal.

"This requires the agreement of the other executives,"

Isaac bowed his head to Lin Fang, who had revealed his true form. When individual power is too weak, any resistance merely serves as entertainment for others.

Besides, he wasn't even human! Recalling the endless terror of having his five senses stripped away moments ago, Isaac couldn't help but shiver.

Lin Fang smiled. "That's simple. Since we have time now, let's convene a shareholders' meeting. Call them all up here."

This underground shareholders' meeting lasted half an hour. Some agreed, some disagreed. The one who disagreed held the largest share.

After communication proved futile, everyone ultimately agreed.

Authority was transferred. Red Queen changed owners.

Thus, Lin Fang obtained all the assets of the Umbrella Corporation—no, it should be called the Reborn Umbrella Corporation now.

This could overturn a world.
