Chapter 65 - "Unraveling Ties: Murphy's Swift Action"

Having unraveled the truth of the matter, Murphy has little interest in confronting Pierce's hypocritical old face.

Swiftly leaving the military base, Murphy had No. 18 teleport back to Spencer Manor with him. The convenience of having a subordinate with Teleport Ability became evident.

In his haste to reach the military base, Murphy underwent several car changes and was blindfolded nearing the destination. This series of procedures consumed nearly all of Murphy's entire morning.

His return was swift, taking only a second.

After getting back to the manor, Murphy provided a brief explanation to Ada before hastily departing.

This time, his objective is crystal clear — to destroy Norman Osborn and Osborn Industries.

In the past, the three major biotech companies were Umbrella, Osborn Industries, and Krauss Technology. However, as Umbrella gained more power, Krauss Technology was the first to decline. The Osborn industry, led by Norman Osborn, was also on the brink of failure, but luck turned in his favor. With the assistance of a talent in biological genetics named 'Richard Parker,' the Osborn industry managed to survive.

The revival of the Osborn industry can be attributed to the familiarity of the genetically modified technology researched by Richard Parker. This technology has found widespread applications in the fields of medicine and food.

However, the genetically modified technology researched by Richard Parker is primarily applied to the field of biology. His main research direction involves incorporating specific superior genes from various organisms into human genes. While the final research results may not fully align with the initial concept, Osborn Industries garnered significant military contracts, attracting the attention of the S.H.I.E.L.D.

With the capital and support from the S.H.I.E.L.D., Osborn Industries has successfully reclaimed its position as a leading company. Simultaneously, due to the intervention of the S.H.I.E.L.D., Umbrella relinquished its pursuit of Osborn Industries. As a result, Osborn Industries continued to thrive even today.

Certainly, even with Umbrella abandoning the offensive, Osborn Industry's journey ahead was far from smooth. The past year witnessed the mysterious disappearance of "Mr. and Mrs. Richard Parker," causing a significant setback for Osborn, leading to a gradual decline in the industry. It wasn't until this year, with the arrival of Dr. Kurt Conners in the field of biology, that Osborn's stagnant industry regained its momentum.

Despite weathering a series of setbacks, Osborn Industries sustained considerable damage. Interestingly, the Umbrella Company, under the control of Murphy, refrained from launching any attacks on Osborn Industry. Beyond the interference from the S.H.I.E.L.D., Murphy had his own reasons for not engaging with Osborn Industry.

However, the situation is now different. Both Pierce and Norman Osborn are currently entangled with Murphy. With Pierce temporarily incapacitated, Murphy must first deal with Norman Osborn and then address the Osborn industry.

Upon leaving the manor, Murphy had already instructed Ada to return to the company and mobilize elite think tanks to devise the most effective plans for acquiring Osborn Industries. The implementation of these plans would swiftly follow. Once they secure the majority of Osborn Industries shares, the once-super company would crumble and become a subordinate entity under the umbrella of Umbrella.

Murphy takes it upon himself to eliminate Norman Osborn. To his knowledge, Norman Osborn's son is not a significant threat, so once Norman Osborn is no more, their grievances will vanish.

After departing from the manor, Murphy initially returns to the company and then heads to the Acre Mountains. His goal is to utilize the biochemical weapon production line there to manufacture biochemical soldiers for combat. While the 18th is powerful, being a multi-functional general-purpose tyrant, its general-purpose nature implies versatility but a decrease in the effectiveness of a single, more crucial ability.

So, when the need for real combat arises, Murphy acknowledges the requirement for tyrants with specialized combat expertise. However, what Murphy is unaware of is that Norman Osborn's team has also mobilized, targeting the Acre Mountains. The fortunate aspect is that Murphy possesses greater mobility than them. While Clinton and his soldiers navigate the Acre Mountains, Murphy utilizes the teleportation ability of the 18th, swiftly entering the Acre Research Institute.

Situated within a large, hollowed-out mountain in the Acre Mountains, the Acre Research Institute, due to its age, retains facilities that are primarily at the early years' technological level. The exception is the newly established production line, which incorporates the most cutting-edge technology available today.

Since the 18th can only transport one person at a time, Murphy came to the institute alone, finding it devoid of any living soul except for himself. This raises the question: how were tyrants produced without anyone speaking about it?

In reality, the process is quite straightforward. Tyrant production only requires two materials: a human body capable of adapting to the virus and the corresponding model's virus claw.

By injecting the virus into a compatible host, a tyrant with abilities matching the virus can be created. Placing the controller in the tyrant's brain completes the process.

The series of processes is indeed straightforward, allowing for automatic production as long as the appropriate production line is equipped, ensuring super-fast efficiency.

However, Murphy has no intention of initiating the automatic production line for tyrants. Instead, he heads to the "maternal storage library" within the production line, carefully selecting suitable human host bodies. His intention is to personally craft the tyrant.

The "maternal storage library" is an extensive warehouse, organized with Incubating chambers categorized accordingly. These Incubating chambers house various host bodies, essentially the bodies of different organisms.

Given that the company's primary product is the Tyrant series, the majority of the inventory in the warehouse comprises human bodies. While a small portion includes the bodies of animals or plants, numerous naked human bodies soak in Incubating chambers. For those unaware of the truth, the sight might be unsettling enough to evoke a startled reaction.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes apparent that most of the human bodies are identical. This is because they are, in fact, clones of individuals capable of adapting to the virus. Given that only a limited number of people, around one in a million, possess the physique capable of virus adaptation, the company couldn't afford the luxury of using all real individuals. Hence, the emergence of clones.

With the progress of cloning technology, the cost of creating a body has decreased, while maintaining the quality to achieve identical effects. This technological advancement is a significant factor behind Umbrella's launch of the Tyrant series. After all, without raw materials, the production of finished products for sale to buyers would be impossible.

In the warehouse, Murphy carefully chooses mothers, and with each selection, the corresponding Incubating chamber is transported out by the 18th. Ultimately, Murphy has chosen three male bodies, two female bodies, and a lineup of snake bodies—all awaiting the injection of the virus.
