Chapter 2050, Section 2.48: The Snake Demon and the Femme fatale

"She will serve as your deputy and strategist." Dr. Lizard revealed his preconceived notions: "She will also be a core member of the Viper Gang."

"So who exactly is she?" the newly born "Hydra Lady" Irina asked curiously.

"The immortal priestess of the ancient British serpent god Dionysus, and the mysterious mistress of a luxurious manor in Derbyshire," Dr. Lizard truthfully explained. "She can transform into a banshee and possesses serpentine abilities. She can inject toxins through bites, causing genetic mutations in her targets. Just as infection with the vampire virus can turn someone into a vampire, humans injected with the toxin will be transformed into serpent demons, or snake women. A supernatural creature."

The ancient English serpent god Dionysus in "The Legend of the White Snake" originates from the legend of the Lambton Worm—a giant worm-like monster in Sunderland, England, closely linked to local history and culture. The story begins in the 18th century with the Lambton family, recounting how knight John Lambton fought and killed the giant worm to protect his village. This event became a symbol of courage and protection in Sunderland, and an important folk tale that has been passed down through generations.

Unlike in the real world, in this storyline, the giant white worm was not completely killed. Instead, it lay dormant in an underground cave, gathering power through the sacrifice of the immortal priestess's flesh and blood, awaiting its rebirth. This sets the stage for a series of events.

As he spoke, Dr. Lizard raised several more hibernation tanks in succession.

These slumbering banshees all originate from the same timeline and storyline as Mrs. Sylvia Marsh: "the infected Trent mother and daughter."

Eve Trent, Mary Trent, and their mother Dorothy Trent.

Before the newly reborn "Hydra Lady" Irina could even turn her gaze away from Trent and her two daughters, another row of hibernation tanks rose up in quick succession.

"The eight maids of the Immortal High Priestess, Lady Sylvia Marsh," Dr. Lizard introduced his collection of mutant test subjects with an air of nonchalance, much like a collector showcasing his collection.

Miranda Coe, Linzi Drew, Caron Anne Kelly, Fiona O'Connor, Caroline Pope, Elisha Scott, Tina Shaw, and Jackie Russell.

They are all snakewomen who mutated after being bitten. This was clearly the work of the players who mass-produced them and sent them into the Fulong Temple Tower. Their current plan is surprisingly simple: to survive in the Anaconda battle royale using the snake-like abilities they gained through genetic mutation.

But is it really just like that?

Is Dr. Lizard's painstakingly created new Viper Gang merely his own idea?

Don't forget. The Battle Royale of the Fulong Temple Pagoda is a competition hosted by the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasty for players. Wu Chen even vaguely felt that the intertwined storyline of the three factions originated from the pre-planned design of the participating players. In other words, players didn't just buy hundreds of identical character cards and let them fight it out based on their skills to determine the final winner. Instead, they pre-planned the script when purchasing these cards.

Is not it?
"Where did you find them?" the newly formed "Hydra Lady" Irina continued to press.

“Of course, it’s the survivor camp.” Dr. Lizard pointed to the ground. “Many of the survivors who have arrived at the camp carry mutant genes. They just deliberately disguise themselves as ordinary people, like those ancient vampires. Given enough patience, they will eventually slip up.”

"I don't understand." The newly formed "Hydra Lady" Irina pointed out the biggest plot hole: "Since the ancient vampire queen expressed her willingness to cooperate, why are you so determined to go it alone, Doctor?"

"I am human," the Lizard Doctor said without any need to hide it, "while she is an anomaly."

"Humans, outcasts." How could the newly born "Hydra Lady" Irina not understand the pride of being a top human? "I understand."

Without a doubt, Dr. Lizard is a believer in anthropocentrism. This philosophy places humanity at the center of value judgments, advocating that moral judgments should be based on human interests, and that nature possesses only instrumental value. It can also be simply understood as anthropocentrism that places human interests above all else—a form of condescending racism against other species.

Although forced by circumstances to preserve his strength, this was merely a facade; he would never ally with the other races. Given the chance, he would seize the rightful dominance of humanity and exterminate all the other races.

In fact, many "human elites" are, to varying degrees, believers in human supremacy. To sum it up in one sentence: whenever a plot conflict transcends practical interests and escalates to the level of faith, it almost always ends in a fight to the death.

This is an irreconcilable difference.

"Besides Mrs. Sylvia Marsh and her maid, is there anyone else?" The newly formed "Hydra Lady" Irina clearly disagreed with the idea of ​​such a homogeneous composition. Furthermore, the classic Viper Gang, in its true sense, had a diverse and extremely complex membership.

"Of course, that's not all." Dr. Lizard raised up several more hibernation jars that he had been keeping for many days.

The French thief Catherine Trinquier in "Red Nights" was played in real life by the famous French actress Frédérique Bel.

Legend has it that during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, a torturer invented a special drug that could paralyze muscles but enhance the sensitivity of nerve endings. He sometimes used this drug to satisfy his lust, but more often he used it to extract pain from his victims. However, he was always curious about what it would be like to use this drug on himself, and under its influence, he committed suicide.

Later, this bottle of poison was hidden inside a white jade seal, which passed down through generations and became an antique, treasured by a Taiwanese gangster who made his fortune in arms dealing. During a transaction with a French minister who had plotted to destroy the government and was now a fugitive due to a Taiwanese arms scandal, and his lover and assistant, Catherine Transquiet, the white jade seal was reluctantly given to the minister as a last-minute commission. After learning that the minister wanted to leave her and return to his family, Catherine Transquiet poisoned him and then took the white jade seal to Hong Kong to sell it to a buyer.

And this buyer is none other than Carrie Chan, a socialite from Hong Kong Island. A femme fatale who is obsessed with erotic games and can wipe out all the gangsters with the jade finger guards she wears on her five fingers. The actress who plays her in the real world is none other than the famous Hong Kong actress Carrie Ng.

And Sandrine Lado, a Hong Kong Island model and black market contact, Flora, a black market agent, and Tulip, a Japanese model.

Snake demon and femme fatale.

Believe it or not, the mutant test subjects collected by Dr. Lizard are quite sophisticated.

"What are we waiting for?" The newly formed "Hydra Lady" Irina smiled slightly: "Let's begin."

"Okay." Dr. Lizard seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Once a venomous snake gang is formed, capable of resisting snake venom, possessing snake-like abilities, and even controlling giant pythons, the outcome of this battle between humans and vampires is already predetermined.

"My lord?" Seeing that Dr. Lizard had personally initiated the creation of the new Viper Gang, Captain Nine-Tailed finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Let's leave here first." Wu Chen decided to leave the plot to the plot: "Head to the top-floor nightclub and meet up with Curved Blade."

"What about here?" Captain Nine-Tails wondered.

"I'm here for you," Wu Chen said with a smile, trying to comfort him.

"Yes, sir." Captain Nine-Tailed immediately led his team away.

Irina, the "Hydra Lady," watched the Extinction Squad depart from the corner of her eye, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"It's such a long night."

The Chen brothers, who were always doing things for money, glanced at each other subconsciously. They were clearly unaware of Irina's ("Hydra Lady") reflections.
