Chapter 56: Rita's Mutation

Date: XX-XX-20XX

The T-Lilith project is nearing completion, and the body adjustments are almost problem-free. I can't wait for the moment when the princess opens her eyes. Recently, I have finally found some free time, and I want to go on vacation to Hawaii.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

Today, I saw an interesting guy on the dark web. He called himself "Tofu" and claimed to have a legacy from Umbrella. I tried to get the technical team to check his IP, but they couldn't find anything.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

After intense negotiations, I made a deal with "Tofu" for just $100,000. Honestly, I'm a little worried that I might have been scammed.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

That jerk actually shipped the package through Amazon! Is his brain made of tofu? What an idiot! Luckily, the package arrived smoothly, but it contained a dry piece of tissue in a mineral water bottle, nothing like what I expected.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

Damn it, I've been scammed. That piece of tissue is completely dead, and I can't restore its cellular activity no matter what I do. Even though I didn't spend much money, it's still frustrating! Oh well, I'll feed it to the lab mice.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

Unexpectedly, something good happened! Today, I fed that dead tissue to a mouse, and it mutated. It quickly turned into a lump of meat with strong vitality! I think we can start a new project around this little guy, and let's call the project "Deep Sea Pineapple".

Date: XX-XX-20XX

This thing is fascinating, it can almost devour all organic matter! Now, a core-like structure has differentiated on its body, occasionally exposed outside, resembling a peeled pomegranate. Research on its controllability should be put on the agenda.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

There is no controllability, we cannot put a collar on an amorphous flesh. Casimir holds a pessimistic attitude toward my experimental project. Although he is somewhat neurotic, he is undoubtedly a genius. Frankly, I am very discouraged.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

Today is the first day the Little Princess opens her eyes to the world. Everyone is very happy, but Miss Kelly always looks worried. As her supervisor, I should comfort her well. After all, this is a great success achieved by our team. Science has taken a big step forward, and superhumans will become possible.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

The mass production plan of T-Lilith is not ideal. Most of them have become defective products. I fed the failed embryos on the production line to the Deep Sea Pineapple. It grows vigorously, and I feel like a diligent gardener.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

The second successfully adapted embryo was born, which is said to have used some of Casimir's own gene fragments. Although it still has defects, this is the most successful embryo since the Little Princess in the past six months. The upper level decided to keep this embryo secret through a meeting.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

An unlucky researcher was sucked dry while feeding the Deep Sea Pineapple. This is a cause for celebration! The creature had never actively attacked living beings before, but now it is like a child who has learned to use knives and forks actively during meals. However, its danger rating has increased. Regarding the research on controllability, there has been no progress. The upper level decided to keep it in Zone D, hoping it will like its new home.

Date: XX-XX-20XX

During the transportation process, something went wrong, and after sacrificing over a hundred security personnel, we had to sterilize the entire Zone D. Many valuable research materials and samples were destroyed, and the Deep Sea Pineapple project was shelved. Later, under my command, the remaining core of the project was taken away by security personnel until it can be effectively controlled.

Unfortunately, it seems it may never see the light of day again. However, Casimir seems to have an unexpected interest in it. He believes that the Deep Sea Pineapple is well-suited to act as a vulture. I suddenly remembered that "Tofu" had mentioned its name before. It seems to be called "Goddess of the Night". This thing is really nothing like a goddess, but I suppose the name I gave it sounds nicer.

Date: XX-XX-2005

We are preparing to temporarily transfer ownership of the Little Princess to headquarters. Everyone is reluctant to part with her, but this is an upper-level decision. After all, the Little Princess is too outstanding.

In order to ensure the safety of this transportation, two T-103C modified tyrants have been specially approved. The only unpleasant thing is that the route will pass through Roples in Edonia, which is a terrible place. Our superiors insist that we find a local guide, but I don't think it's necessary. But who am I to argue with a superior?

Date: XX-XX-2005

We will set off with the convoy tomorrow, and the Little Princess seems to be in a very stable condition. I think this will be a wonderful journey. Wish me luck.

Casimir stretched lazily and closed Freeman's notebook. He was somewhat concerned about his seemingly unintelligent colleague. He felt that Freeman, like himself, was a person who was obsessed with B.O.W. research and that such an enthusiastic and pure person was hard to find even within the organization.

The mission would be over soon, and then he could take a long vacation. Where should he go?

He decided on Hawaii...

------------

Li Yexing stared with wide eyes as he watched Rita struggle to swallow a whole meatball, then cough violently.

"Well, this is quite unexpected," Ada said with a look of resignation as she failed to stop Rita.

This scene was also seen by Parker, whose cold laughter echoed from the bloated and deformed meatball. It sneered, "Although I don't know what you ate, it doesn't change the fact that you are about to be killed by me. SURRENDER BEFORE THE POWER OF GOD!"

With that, it laughed maniacally, waving its tentacles and spitting acid as it charged toward Rita. The sound of struggling came from inside the meatball.

"DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE-!!!"

Despite the monster charging towards her like a heavy truck, Rita was unable to move. She knelt down, clutching her neck with both hands, her eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out of their sockets. Countless blood vessels were crawling in her gray eyes, and she felt as if her body was being pierced and burned. Blood mixed with saliva flowed from her gaping mouth, and her visible veins swelled as if they were about to burst at any moment.

"That maid is finished," Li Yexing sighed, feeling a little regretful. To be honest, this maid was very good at touching his sensitive spot, but it wasn't enough for him to risk his life for her.

On the side, Helen had already covered her eyes, as if Rita was about to be torn apart by the blade on the tentacles or corroded by the acid at any moment.

However, at that moment, a mutation occurred!

Suddenly, the clothes behind the kneeling maid exploded, and something shot out and pierced into the body of the mutated Parker, breaking through the blockade of acid in an instant.

Li Yexing was surprised to see that they were two blood-red tentacles!

Parker's charge came to an abrupt halt, and with its unstable center of gravity, it fell to the ground with great inertia. Accompanied by spraying blood and Parker's screams, the kneeling maid slowly stood up. Her body suddenly stiffened, and the two snow-white mounds on her chest instantly tore apart from the middle. A flesh ball, resembling a pomegranate, squeezed out from the crack, emitting a faint eerie pink glow under the bright lights of the spacious arena.
