All the data indicated that the materials for this research experiment were basically destroyed due to uncontrollable problems, but so far, there has been no experiment destruction report on those human materials in his hands.
Zhou Yi began to flip through the limited image data. The image data in his hand, rather than being an experimental record, was more like a comprehensive monster encyclopedia. There were giant terrifying pythons, like ancient creatures. Super sharks with huge bodies and bone spurs all over. Lions with shedding fur and explosively growing muscles. And gorillas with two deformed giant hands.
If such things fell into the hands of that Hollywood screenwriter, they might become fresh material for a horror film. But unfortunately, this was just a brutal biological experiment in real life. Zhou Yi had no time to feel sentimental about these things that were already dead; he needed to know what stage the true core of this experiment had reached.
Finally, he found some clues from these incomplete materials. It was an accident report. The content showed a report of a laboratory assistant who was accidentally attacked by an experimental creature, and shortly after, became infected with a virus and developed a pathological change. It included detailed report descriptions and a record of the entire pathological process.
Zhou Yi finished reading the entire report, and its content made him feel horrified. In the report, the unfortunate assistant's pathological process was terrifying.
First, the whole body began to experience slight spasms, followed by symptoms such as weakness, irregular heartbeat, and mental disorientation. This situation lasted for more than an hour. After that, the assistant was declared dead from a medical perspective.
However, the data showed that this was just the beginning. The assistant's body tissues began to undergo large-scale necrosis after his Death. This necrosis was from the inside out, within just a few hours. The assistant's body became like a long-rotted corpse.
And this was not the most terrifying thing; what was most frightening was that the corpse began to regain mobility and act according to its most primitive feeding instincts. This reanimated corpse attacked all living creatures it could perceive. Its bloodlust and desire to feed were completely uncontrollable.
Unbeknownst to them, two security guards were attacked and underwent the same changes. To control this sudden situation, the report showed that they inspected and disinfected all relevant personnel. And at this point, the report was coming to an end, with only the final academic analysis remaining.
After reading this report, Zhou Yi's only feeling was: if this was a biological weapon that the U.S. Military asked Umbrella to develop, then they could be considered successful. Because this thing indeed had fatal lethality, and it was no longer just limited to a region.
However, such a thing must never appear in the World. Once leaked, not only countries, but even the World would face a huge impact. All humans might face the choice between Life and Death.
But unfortunately, this problem was not something Zhou Yi's other identity could solve. Although Dawn Knight was a Superhero embraced by countless people, he could not shake a giant multinational corporation. Not to mention anything else, the tens of thousands of salaried employees under this company alone would not support him in doing so.
And Zhou Yi's identity as a billionaire was even less capable of doing such a thing. Umbrella's industrial scope was extremely wide, and Zhou Yi's abilities could not have any influence on it. Unless, as Alfred revealed, Umbrella's research was sabotaged by someone with ulterior motives, causing it to explode, thereby causing a huge impact on Umbrella.
If that were the case, he could indeed unite Tony and some financial magnates to devour this behemoth. But deep down, he still didn't want such a situation to happen. That would be too dangerous.
"Medusa, help me send the data in my hand to Mr. Phil Coulson from last time, tell them I need their help, and it would be best for someone to come to me with a plan!"
"Yes, sir. I will send this message for you immediately. Also, sir. Mercury Technology has finished what you need. Do you need me to arrange for them to send it to you?"
"Send it to me along with the new equipment, Medusa," Zhou Yi instructed calmly. This was originally something to be happy about, but at this moment, he had no such thoughts.
Pile after pile of things weighed on him, and even though he had energy far exceeding ordinary people, at this moment, he felt a sense of mental exhaustion. Sometimes he also wanted to put down all burdens and live a life that only cared about himself. But the Superhero career was like a drug, giving people an irresistible magic. By now, he had fallen in love with this exciting life. He could give up his current wealthy life and return to the ordinary life of an average person. But he could no longer give up this heroic career.
Regaining his spirits, Zhou Yi thought about getting something to eat to fill his rumbling stomach. He had been busy all day today, and the French meal from noon had long been completely digested.
However, when he took the hotel elevator, he unexpectedly found an acquaintance also inside.
"Oh! Jean, why are you here?" Standing in the elevator was Jean Grey. At this time, she was looking thoughtfully at the control panel in the elevator, apparently deciding which floor to go to.
Seeing Zhou Yi, Jean Grey seemed a little surprised, or rather, the expression on her face was a little strange.
"I want to get something to eat. You know, sometimes when you study things for a long time, it's easy to forget some things."
"Like eating?" Zhou Yi showed a mischievous smile. He pressed the button for the restaurant floor and said to her, "Since we met, come eat with me. I'm also a bit hungry!"
"What?" Jean Grey asked in surprise. "That wouldn't be very good, would it? You know I have a boyfriend."
"Hehe, my Darling Jean!" He directly reached out and pulled Jean Grey, pinning her against the elevator wall. "What's wrong with you today? Are you angry with me? Or do you already want me to make our relationship public and completely eliminate that fool Scott as a competitor?"
"What do I have to be angry about!" Turning her face away awkwardly, Jean Grey seemed a little afraid to meet Zhou Yi's gaze.
"Really, you're not really angry?" Lifting Jean Grey's chin, and seeing her somewhat shy expression, Zhou Yi directly lowered his head.
After a long time, Zhou Yi once again occupied this place he defined as his territory. Compared to last time, Jean Grey's performance this time was more awkward, as if she hadn't been tested for a long time and this skill had regressed.
He was like a thirsty traveler, using all his strength. Jean Grey initially had some intention of resisting, but very quickly, she lost her strength.
After a long time, until the elevator paused slightly and stopped moving, Zhou Yi slowly separated from Jean Grey. At this moment, Jean Grey was already a little weak, and her usually bright eyes were now like a spring of Water, full of rippling waves.
"Now, I really feel that you're not angry. So, will you have dinner with me? My beautiful Young Miss Jean Grey!"
"Alright, just this once!" Jean Grey whispered softly, as if explaining to Zhou Yi, and also as if explaining to herself.
"If there's a first time, there will naturally be a second time. Isn't that right?" Zhou Yi held Jean Grey's slender hand and said confidently and gently.
At this moment, Jean Grey seemed to have completely lost her autonomy, simply allowing Zhou Yi to do as he pleased.
The two walked directly into the restaurant. Under Zhou Yi's arrangement, the waiter quickly began serving delicious French dishes to the distinguished guests.
The chef here offered classical French cuisine. This cuisine originated before the French Revolution and was popular among royalty and nobles, later categorized by Auguste Escoffier. The chefs of the classical cuisine school were highly skilled, and the ingredients had to be of the best quality. Common ingredients included lobster, oysters, steak, and champagne, often using wine and flour as the base for sauces, which were then concentrated to create a rich and intense flavor, often thickened with butter or cream.
The traditional French menu offered here had a total of 13 courses to choose from. Although each dish was not large in portion, it was delicious and exquisite. The first course was usually a cold appetizer, followed by the second course, soup.
The third course, hot appetizer. The fourth course, fish. The fifth course, main course. The sixth course, hot dish. The seventh course, cold dish. The eighth course, sorbet. The ninth course, grilled dishes and salad. The tenth course, vegetables. The eleventh course, sweet dish. The twelfth course, savory dish. All the way to the thirteenth course, dessert.
Such a wide variety of dishes also meant sufficiently complex dining etiquette. Generally speaking, many people were not very accustomed to this classical style of French dining. This also led to the rise of new French haute cuisine. After all, these simplified versions were very adaptable to the modern pace of life.
Originally, Zhou Yi thought of giving Jean Grey a little guidance on this complex dining etiquette, and perhaps some subtle flirtatious gestures. But to Zhou Yi's surprise, Jean behaved very naturally, even more skillfully than he did.
"Honestly, you really surprise me!" While enjoying the exquisite French meal, Zhou Yi teased Jean Grey. "To be honest, I even thought of seeing you make a fool of yourself!"
"It's been a long time since I've encountered such table etiquette. Honestly, I thought I was acting very rusty!" Jean smiled gently, rarely showing a noble demeanor.
"How could that be? You performed perfectly!" Holding Jean Grey's hand, Zhou Yi showed an admiring expression.
"Really? That's wonderful then!"
The two exchanged smiles, revealing an unusual tacit agreement. To be honest, Zhou Yi really didn't expect Jean Grey to not resist him like this. It was as if she had suddenly let go of all her concerns. She was acting a little unlike herself.
