Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

The young researcher stared blankly at Scarlett, but after Scarlett gave him a cold glance, he quickly lowered his head, grabbed the list, and left the room.

"You reckless fools, you'll be one of the next researchers." Scarlett thought coldly as she watched the departing researchers, then turned her gaze back to the Shinra soldiers.

"This is the third batch. The success rate is indeed much higher than before, but the quantity is still pitifully small. Although the chip's suppression has greatly enhanced the mental erosion of the Genoa cells, the energy of the Mako is still too powerful, and the injected Genoa cells are diluted. This is still far from enough."

Scarlett was very dissatisfied with the current success rate. Although the higher success rate than ever before earned her praise from the president after she reported it to him, she didn't care about it.

"I need a stable and feasible approach; I don't have much time."

Recalling the collapse of Mako Reactor No. 1 a few days ago, Scarlett felt the time pressure mounting. She had to have a super-powerful force before Shinra could take drastic measures against Shen Ye and his group.

With a slight sigh, Scarlett took a sip of red wine and continued to observe the experimental process outside.

At this moment, the Shinra soldiers began to walk towards the incubation chambers in front of them and, under the guidance of the researchers beside them, entered the corresponding incubation chambers.

Immediately, a light screen appeared out of thin air in front of Scarlett's eyes, displaying various experimental parameters. This light screen was a projection.

“Let’s begin!” Scarlett said calmly.

As her voice faded, the incubation chambers slowly closed, and with the injection of the magic energy, a large amount of experimental data flashed wildly before her eyes.

……

(Just got back from my hometown for the holiday, so updates are a bit slow. There will be another chapter later.)

Chapter 200! Expanding

……

It has to be said that after injecting Shinra soldiers with Genova cells, even if they are diluted, their chances of survival when soaking in Mako fluid are something that was unthinkable before.

After all, one of the characteristics of Genova is to greatly enhance the host's physical fitness and vitality. Although the side effects are also significant, such as being eroded by Genova, the modified Shinra soldiers have a certain degree of resistance under the chip's effect, or rather, they can ignore some of the mental erosion.

Even so, by the fifth minute of the experiment, news of the test subjects' deaths had already appeared, and every few tens of seconds or a minute or so, news of several more test subjects' deaths would pop up.

Looking at the cold, lifeless words indicating that the experimental subjects were dead, Scarlett's eyes remained unmoved. In her eyes, it was nothing more than some numbers being erased.

Moreover, these Shinra soldiers who underwent the transformation using Mako liquid and Genova cells were largely volunteers, and the vast majority were influenced by Sephiroth, Shinra's strongest special forces soldier, whom they had previously touted as a hero. They aspired to become Shinra special forces soldiers like Sephiroth.

Those who volunteered for the experiment were already prepared to face death.

Therefore, Scarlett felt no psychological pressure at all. What was more important to her was the experimental data, the experimental data that could be perfectly successful on herself. As for how many people died, that was not within her consideration.

Soon, an hour passed. When all the incubation chambers were opened, fewer than ten Shinra soldiers survived. However, their mental state was not good, and their eyes were somewhat vacant. But as Scarlett's voice appeared in the air above the research lab, they began to gather and line up.

The chips implanted in their bodies took over, replacing their brains and forcibly controlling their bodies to execute commands.

"Excellent, my strength has grown even greater!"

Seeing this, Scarlett nodded in satisfaction, then downed his wine in one gulp and left the observation room.

In a research lab next door, another experiment was about to take place, and she couldn't miss it.

……

Meanwhile, Shen Ye had already returned to the Seventh Heaven Bar. After locking his motorcycle, he slowly walked into the bar.

Inside the bar, Tifa was checking the drinks and food that had just been delivered, just like yesterday, while Alice was lazily sprawled on the bar counter, dawdling over a rag.

What comforted Tifa was that although Yuffie was a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur), she was enthusiastically helping her with chores, since this girl was the kind of person who would get bored if she had nothing to do.

Shen Ye didn't disturb them. He walked to the bar and asked Alice for a glass of water. Although Alice, who was holding a grudge, snorted at him, he still obediently poured her a glass of water.

Just as he was about to take a sip of water, a man walked into the bar. It turned out to be Sonon, Euphemia's junior colleague.

After asking around, Sonon learned from passersby that a girl who looked very much like the one he described had been inside the Seventh Heaven bar, so he came to check it out.

Surprisingly, Sonon was quite lucky. As soon as she entered, she saw Yuffie helping Tifa move her things. After a moment of surprise, she called out, "Senior."

"Ha, Sonon, you've finally found me." Yuffie wanted to put down what she was doing, but after thinking about it, she continued to help Tifa while responding to Sonon.

“We searched all night last night, and Na Yao and the others are almost going crazy.” So Nong looked helplessly at his senior: “They thought you had been kidnapped, and they were even preparing to take people to the Sixth District to find that guy named Koru Geno.

“I’m not a child, how could I possibly be kidnapped?” Yuffie didn’t dare say that she had drunk too much last night and slept at someone else’s house. Pointing to Shen Ye sitting next to her, she said, “Besides, with him here, you can rest assured.”

Sonon then noticed that Shen Ye was also there, and somewhat presumptuously assumed that Yuffie had received his help. He immediately bowed to him and said, "I didn't expect to see you here. Thank you for taking care of me, senior."

"No, you're welcome."

Shen Ye waved his hand awkwardly, thinking to himself that he hadn't taken care of her at all; he had almost...

Sonon, oblivious to Shen Ye's awkward expression, straightened up and said to Yuffie, "Senior, please come back with me. Na Yao and the others are still waiting for you. Don't forget we're going to..."

He stopped speaking halfway through his sentence. Although he knew that the Seventh Heaven Bar was the secret base of the Avalanche branch, he also knew that this branch was not recognized by the main branch, so he did not want to say it in front of them.

"Okay, I understand. I'll leave after I finish helping Tifa." Yuffie had a good impression of Tifa, probably because Tifa carried her to Skyward Manor to rest when she was drunk last night.

"Let me do it, you guys take a break." Sonon simply rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to help.

Tifa breathed a sigh of relief, now that her hands were free. But when she saw Shen Ye and Alice sitting to the side, she was furious again. She put her hands on her hips and glared at them with displeasure.

"You two are so lazy," Tifa said angrily.

But Shen Ye simply got up, pulled her to his side, and kissed her again, and her anger completely dissipated. Although she immediately received Alice's displeased look, she didn't care anymore.

Sonon was a diligent and efficient person. Under Euphemia's loud and boisterous instructions, he quickly moved all the things into the small warehouse behind the bar.

After declining Tifa's offer to have a drink, Sonnon pulled Yuffie, who wasn't keen on leaving, out of the bar.

After they had walked away, Alice finally asked, "What do you think they're going to do tonight?"

"What else can we do but cause trouble at the Shinra Building?" Tifa leaned lazily against Shen Ye and said calmly.

That's just how she is. If Barrett were here, he would definitely be disdainful, because in his opinion, those people in the Main Council are too petty and do nothing but trivial things. It was only because of the assassination attempt on the Shinra president some time ago that he looked at her with a little more respect.

Chapter 201! Heart palpitations

(I'm going to speed things up starting with this chapter and try to finish it between chapters 20 and 30. After all, most of the characters who were supposed to appear have already appeared, and those who were supposed to be cheated on have already been cheated on, and those who were supposed to be cheated on have already been cheated on.)

……

After Yuffie and Sonnon left, no one else came in all morning, so Shen Ye and the other two basically stayed together like yesterday.

Strangely enough, people started coming to the bar to drink right after noon, and the number of people kept increasing, making it difficult for Alice and Tifa to keep up.

Since Jesse wasn't there, Tifa, who was too busy to handle everything, had to ask Shen Ye for help.

Shen Ye naturally couldn't refuse. Although he felt a little strange, he still made time to help.

You know, during the daytime, Seventh Heaven is practically empty of customers, but now, it's only early afternoon and the bar is almost full.

As the afternoon progressed, customers continued to arrive, many of whom seemed puzzled as to why they had come. Even so, they still ordered a beer and sat down in the bar.

Time flew by and it was around three o'clock in the afternoon. While I was busy and dizzy, a phone call came into the bar.

Alice answered the phone, and her expression immediately turned serious after she finished...

Shen Ye had just finished serving drinks to a table of guests and was wondering if today was Midgar's day off, otherwise why were there suddenly so many people, when Tifa patted him on the shoulder.

"Go check on Alice." Tifa was also very busy, but the observant Tifa noticed Alice's expression and took the plate from Shen Ye's hand, saying to him.

Shen Ye immediately ran to Alice and saw the troubled look on her face. He was startled and vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out. However, he knew that for Alice to show such an expression, something must have happened to her mother, Amina. So he asked, "Has something happened at home?"

Alice nodded: "My mother just called and said she twisted her ankle again, and it's serious."

Alice has been staying with Tifa for the past few days and usually uses the bar's phone to contact her family, so it's not surprising that her mother knows the bar's phone number.

"A sprained ankle?" Shen Ye felt something was wrong, but he still couldn't figure it out. However, seeing Alice's anxious face, he could only say, "You go back first... never mind, I'll go back with you. It's more convenient to have a man at home."

Alice nodded upon hearing this, but then shook her head and pointed into the bar, saying, "You should stay here. I don't think Tifa can handle everything by herself right now."

But after saying that, she paused for a moment, because what she really wanted was for Shen Ye to go back with her, but the words changed inexplicably as they reached her lips.

However, she didn't think about it too much because she heard her mother's voice on the phone sound painful, and she was in a hurry to get back.

Shen Ye still felt something was off, but seeing that Alice had said so, he could only nod and say, "Then you go back first. I'll go back after I'm done here."

Alice nodded, hugged Shen Ye, said a few words to Tifa, and then hurriedly left.

Watching Alice leave in a hurry, Tifa hesitated and said to Shen Ye, "Shen, I have a feeling something's not right."

"Me too." Shen Ye looked at the room full of guests and tried to recall the game's plot, but he couldn't remember what had happened in the past few days.

"Perhaps... this was just an accident?" In the end, Shen Ye could only attribute it to the butterfly effect of his appearance...

……

Whether it was the butterfly effect or not, Shen Ye no longer cared, but he knew very well that there was something fishy about what was happening now, and he had begun to suspect someone.

Shortly after Alice left, no more customers came in, and those who had already ordered drinks left one after another, many without even taking a few sips.

Within minutes, only Shen Ye and Tifa remained in the bar. The two frowned as they watched this bizarre scene.

Just as the two were pondering what was going on, Barrett and his group suddenly arrived. They were somewhat surprised to see the slightly messy bar.

"Did a lot of guests just arrive?" Jesse asked Tifa, looking at the still untied table.

Tifa nodded: "I don't know why, but suddenly a steady stream of guests came in, but after Alice left, those guests left very quickly."
