“Because this Orphanage is being built for children, we must pay close attention to whether there are any instances of cutting corners in the construction.”
“Ada Wong, you need to be extra vigilant about this.” Matthew Lawrence looked toward the interior of the construction site.
“Mm, I will keep an eye on it.” Ada Wong nodded, silently apologizing in her heart for her earlier speculation.
The construction site remained brightly lit under the cover of night.
Ada Wong followed Matthew Lawrence for a tour of the site and discovered that the interior environment of the Orphanage currently under construction was far superior to those built by the government.
Scale was one aspect, but it also included educational and medical resources, and even amenities like a swimming pool, which are usually considered “non-essential.”
“Sir, with such a large site and scale, the annual expenditures will increase significantly… by that time—”
“If it’s not enough then, you can just take it from my pocket.” Matthew Lawrence waved his hand dismissively.
“As the saying goes, poverty should not affect education, and children should not suffer.”
“Besides, since we at Umbrella Corporation are doing this, we must do it to the best of our ability.”
“Doing a half-baked job would just make those foreigners think that Umbrella Corporation can’t afford it.”
Ada Wong: Foreigner…?
Are you talking about yourself?
The reason Matthew Lawrence established Umbrella Corporation was, on one hand, because he was touched by the environment Nicole lived in, and on the other hand, to build his own ‘power.’
Investing in those children with tragic backgrounds was undoubtedly a long-term layout focused on the future.
Once it’s built, if he has the teachers arrange a few more courses every month promoting ‘gratitude’ and the concept of ‘never forgetting those who dug the well,’ wouldn’t the system points just come rolling in?
This is what you call a win-win situation.
On one hand, it truly benefits the public and wins social acclaim; on the other, it allows Matthew Lawrence to achieve his own goals.
In this way, isn’t it wonderful~~
Thinking of this, a sense of satisfied anticipation welled up in his heart.
During their conversation, the plaque on the door of the Orphanage had already been installed.
The two of them looked up.
On the plaque, there was no long string of Western names; instead, two characters were simply written in Chinese.
[Nursery]
“Nursery?” Ada Wong couldn’t help but read the words on the plaque.
“That’s right.” Matthew Lawrence explained, “Children are the pillars of the future, and a ‘Nursery’ is the place that nurtures hope and allows them to grow up strong.”
Hearing this, Ada Wong was stunned, then muttered in a voice only she could hear, “…Show-off, playing the literary card, huh.”
“Mm, then I’ll leave it to you to pay extra attention.”
After handing over the matters regarding the Orphanage, the two got back into the car.
Matthew Lawrence had barely sat down after returning to the company when the office door was knocked on once again.
“Come in.”
As he spoke, a figure in a white lab coat rushed into view, eyes sparkling with excitement.
“William Birkin?” Matthew Lawrence raised an eyebrow in confusion.
Why would a workaholic like William Birkin not be working at this time and coming to find him?
Could it be that there has been some major breakthrough in his research?
Before he could voice the question in his mind, William Birkin took the initiative to state the reason for his visit.
“Report, Boss! While our company team was executing an outdoor mission, they captured a new type of experimental subject!”
“A new type of subject?”
“That’s right! This subject attacked a company field team at night, but was captured alive because it misjudged the gap in strength between the two sides.”
“The most critical point is that the field team tried multiple times to kill the target on the spot, but for some reason, this subject possesses extremely strong vitality and regenerative abilities; ordinary bullets could not cause effective damage to it.”
“It is precisely because of this that we decided to bring it back to the company intact,” William Birkin said with an excited look.
“Oh?” Hearing this, Matthew Lawrence stood up out of curiosity as well.
“An existence that an ordinary field team could capture alive but not kill?”
“Take me to see it.”
“Alright!” Matthew Lawrence followed William Birkin toward the laboratory, his face full of curiosity.
After days of improvements, the internal equipment of the laboratory was now very advanced, filled everywhere with newly imported devices required for new experiments.
Of course, Matthew Lawrence had kept a guard up when building the laboratory.
To prevent future incidents like containment breaches or virus leaks in his laboratories, he used military-grade protective materials throughout the interior levels.
He also set up an independent internal Water circulation system for this level to prevent the virus from leaking into the city through the water system.
Furthermore, this level was equipped with a separate special response unit armed with heavy firepower, which would seal off the entrances and exits at the first sign of an accident.
If necessary, Matthew Lawrence could even remotely detonate it to completely destroy the entire internal level.
This wasn’t because Matthew Lawrence was overly cautious; it was just that he had seen too many of these damn things happen.
How many accidents have been caused by a lack of caution?
Precisely because of this, Matthew Lawrence would never allow such a situation to occur.
With a heavy decompression sound, the door slowly opened.
He followed William Birkin into the core area. New chapters come out on g.com first.
The core area was isolated by a large amount of bulletproof glass, which could ensure clear observation while allowing external personnel to see more clearly.
In the experiment area, a middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance and a receding hairline was tied tightly to an operating table, surrounded by a large amount of medical equipment for monitoring the subject’s vital signs.
To see more clearly, Matthew Lawrence ignored the dissuasion of the surrounding experimental staff, put on a protective suit, and walked to the side of the operating table, with William Birkin following closely behind.
“Why isn’t he moving?” Matthew Lawrence’s gaze swept over the operating table.
“To ensure the smooth progress of tests and experiments, we injected him with a large amount of tranquilizers when he entered the company, keeping him in a comatose state while maintaining his vital signs.”
“However, that is not the point…”
“The point is—” William Birkin rarely teased, picking up a scalpel from the side and slicing open a gash on the middle-aged man’s neck.
That was the location of the carotid artery.
If an ordinary person were slashed here, they would last at most 5-10 minutes without treatment.
But under Matthew Lawrence’s astonished gaze, the middle-aged man’s slashed neck was healing at a visible rate, finishing in almost less than two seconds.
This recovery speed was on par with Matthew Lawrence’s own current recovery ability!
However, that was not all!
Immediately after, William Birkin brought over a saw and a steel awl from the side.
Without any hesitation, he sawed off the middle-aged man’s head right in front of Matthew Lawrence…
The head fell to the ground.
The man’s body began to convulse wildly.
Seeing this, William Birkin ordered the external experimental staff.
“Accelerate blood pumping.”
“Yes.”
A large amount of blood flowed into the man’s headless body.
Under the frantic pumping of blood, the man’s neck actually began to grow wildly!
Seeing this scene, a classic line from the 1986 version of Journey to the West couldn’t help but flash through Matthew Lawrence’s mind…
Tiger Power Immortal: I can grow my head back even after decapitation!
Deer Power Immortal: I can grow back my heart and belly even after they are cut out!
Sheep Power Immortal: I can bathe in a vat of boiling oil as if it were a bath!
What, is this guy from the same school as those three?
