☆ Sunglasses, final formula
"Ugh... Ah... It hurts... Slow... Slow down... Wait... Wait... Wesker... Ah!"
In the empty room, moans drifted out. Ye Xi's eyes were bloodshot as she gripped the white sheets beneath her, looking at the man working on her with a mixture of fear and apprehension. Undoubtedly, those sounds, enough to conjure up countless images of passionate lovemaking, were coming from her mouth.
“…She’s already been anesthetized.” Wesker pressed his left hand against Ye Xi’s collarbone to prevent her from moving, while his right hand held a thin needle. His bloodshot eyes quietly watched the hand staring at him with terrified eyes, and a hint of helplessness gradually crept into his tone. Clearly, he hadn’t made his move yet.
"...But...but it looks so painful!" Ye Xi tried to back away, but Wesker held her down firmly, and no matter how mischievous she was, it was useless. But then again, I'm really sorry for writing such innocent dialogue that made you all think dirty thoughts; I'm just too naughty. →v→
Ye Xi and Wesker were in what was clearly a treatment room. Wesker, to some extent, showed some compassion; seeing Ye Xi's injured back, he didn't carry her, crying her eyes out, like he used to, and then dump her on the operating table like a sack of potatoes. Of course, the fact that she clung to his waist like a koala was also partly, or perhaps largely, the reason.
Wesker gently lifted Ye Xi and placed her on the operating table. By then, she had already stopped crying. Nestled on the table, she was internally agonizing over how she had been so foolish to cling to that jerk, and how she had been so clever to bury her face in his chest and sob while secretly wiping her snot and tears on his clothes. Lost in thought, she looked up and saw Wesker holding a needle, plunging it into her waist without saying a word. At the same time, she noticed a pile of surgical supplies beside him.
Damn, making her watch that long needle go into her stomach and then come out again is just too horrifying! Even with local anesthesia, her pain receptors would tell her that this would be excruciatingly painful! So it's not a matter of anesthesia at all. Do you think everyone can work without anesthesia and be expressionless? People would think you've got some kind of mental problem!
Seeing Wesker about to strike again, Ye Xi grabbed Wesker's wrist and forced a laugh, "Is...is it really necessary to stitch him up? Can't we use the T-virus?"
“What do you think?” Wesker raised an eyebrow. “If you had considered the consequences from the beginning, things wouldn’t be like this now. Your body, or rather the O virus, is now so weak that it can’t even take care of itself.”
"Damn it, back then I didn't care about all that. I just wanted to wake up! Why don't you say that if you hadn't tried to take advantage of me in the first place, I wouldn't be living such a miserable life! Maybe we wouldn't even know each other yet. Who cares where you are, how you stir up trouble, how you destroy things, or how you cause chaos? I'd be living a happy and carefree life, and maybe I could even marry Ethan and have kids..." Upon hearing Wesker's irresponsible words, Ye Xi remembered something and immediately burst out with words that didn't go through her mind.
Hearing Ye Xi's words, Wesker's eyes instantly turned cold. With a forceful pull, he freed his right hand from Ye Xi's grasp. He stared dangerously into Ye Xi's stubborn eyes for a long time before finally letting out a cold laugh: "Marriage and children? Hmph, it's fortunate I was interested in you. Otherwise, how could you have lived so long, long enough to personally end the life of that man who harbored laughable feelings for you?"
Wesker's words struck a nerve with Ye Xi. He knew exactly what words could hurt her, just as Ye Xi could always unintentionally hurt him. But seeing Ye Xi's fragile yet defiant glare at him, like a prickly kitten baring its teeth in a show of bravado, Wesker sighed, took a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, put them over Ye Xi's dark eyes, and slowly said, "Just don't look."
Ye Xi stared blankly, adjusting her large sunglasses. Then, she felt Wesker move. In the blink of an eye, he had stitched up the wound and bandaged it. "Once the anesthesia wears off, go straight to the lab. If you want to live, you'd better hurry." With that, Wesker reached for the sunglasses Ye Xi was holding and walked out of the treatment room without looking back.
Is this a case of giving a punch followed by a sweet treat? Ye Xi silently stroked the brand-new bandage wrapped several times around her waist, remaining silent for a long time. It seems there's no escaping it after all… She smiled bitterly, staring at the white ceiling. After lying down for a while, she unknowingly fell asleep again. When she woke up again, Ye Xi found herself lying on her bed in the bedroom, just like many times when she unknowingly fell asleep. Every time she woke up, she could feel the soft mattress beneath her.
How could she escape now? Ye Xi took a deep breath, straightened up, put on her coat, and walked into the laboratory. To her surprise, she saw Wesker no longer wearing a white lab coat, but instead wearing his previous leather coat and sunglasses. When he saw Ye Xi come in, he took a metal tube filled with red liquid from a machine.
“You woke up just in time,” he said slowly in a low voice. “We should get going.”
"Wait, us? Depart? Where to?" Ye Xi was a little confused. Had Wesker discovered something? She frowned slightly, realizing something. "Wait a minute, how long have I been asleep?"
“Not long, a week.” Wesker finished installing the metal tube, walked up to Ye Xi, grabbed her wrist, and roughly dragged her out. Ye Xi stumbled a few steps before jogging to catch up with Wesker. She tried to pull away from Wesker's grip on her wrist, but after several unsuccessful attempts, she resigned herself to her fate and jogged to keep up.
"Isn't this long enough?" Ye Xi sighed. She had many questions that Wesker needed to answer. "So, what did you discover in this past week? Why are you going out now? What are you going out for?"
Wesker didn't speak. He led Ye Xi through one electronic door after another, finally arriving at the helm where the submarine was parked. Thank goodness, this time Wesker had chosen a two-seater. Although the submarine looked strange, if he had to let her sit on his lap, he might as well just kill her. Once they were out of the base, Wesker finally spoke:
“Remember that government base?” He glanced at Ye Xi beside him, and seeing her nod, he continued in his deep, magnetic voice, “Sometimes you have to admire the survival instinct of those ants. It’s already quite impressive that their stupid little brains could come up with this plan, but it would be a waste to keep it in their hands, so I took it.”
So you really did steal something... Ye Xi looked at Wesker's profile speechlessly. "I originally wanted to use that technology to extract some data from Number 12's brain, but now it seems taking that technology was the right thing to do." As he spoke, Wesker also glanced at Ye Xi, as if he were implying something.
That's quite correct. You clearly had a plan to use the Progenitor Virus to test the performance of the O Virus, and then use that technology to find solutions related to the Progenitor Virus if something went wrong. Ye Xi muttered to herself, but she had calmed down now. Although she was still very unhappy, the only way to save herself was still in Wesker's hands. She would be crazy to go against this scumbag.
"Now I've found the method, but I'm still missing a recipe," he said succinctly, looking at the dark ocean before him.
"...So, the formula is still in that government base?" Ye Xi saw Wesker's tacit agreement, but another question remained stuck in her throat—"So, how did you know that the base had data from instruments that analyze brain memories, and another formula? Were you an undercover agent or a spy?" As Ye Xi thought about it, she felt a chill run down her spine, shifted her position, and automatically moved away from this dangerous scumbag.
However, having learned from her previous painful experiences, Ye Xi was more cautious. "Fine, since you know where the formula is, why drag me into this? You know, with my current strength, I probably couldn't even defeat a normal person. Bringing me along would just be a burden. Or perhaps, you want me to be some kind of damned bait?"
Wesker snorted coldly, seemingly disdainful of Ye Xi's "narcissism." After a long while, so long that Ye Xi thought he wasn't going to answer and had tacitly agreed, she heard a very deep voice. If the submarine hadn't been so quiet, she thought she wouldn't have heard those words at all—"I just don't know when you'll die."
Perhaps you'll fall asleep and never wake up again, or perhaps it will be another week or two before you awaken; nobody can say for sure. Wesker didn't want to admit it, but he couldn't deny that when he saw Ye Xi asleep for four or five days without waking up, he really panicked. He had even decided that if she hadn't woken up by the time the potion in the metal tube was finished, he would definitely strangle her with his own hands. He didn't like the feeling of Ye Xi's life not being in his own hands. Her life belonged to him, and no matter who tried to take it away, no matter who it was, he would rather she die by his own hand.
Ye Xi opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Indeed, she didn't know when she would die. What if she perished while Wesker was leaving? With Wesker, at least he knew how to control her condition, right? But what was with this sudden, suggestive tone?! This was terrifying!
Girl, if you knew what Uncle Wei was really thinking, it would probably scare your little heart to death. (picking nose)
↑You beat up Kai!
The deep sea easily erodes one's sense of time. Ye Xi didn't know how long she stared at the darkness before drifting off to sleep. When she woke up again, her vision was bright, the screen in front of her hadn't changed, but it was clear they had reached land. She was woken up by Wesker, who tossed her a piece of bread and said sternly, "From now on, you can only sleep for a maximum of one day at a time. I'll wake you up when it's time. You'd better wake up then. If I can't wake you up, and I haven't gotten the formula, then I'll kill you."
Wesker's words were serious and menacing, instantly waking Ye Xi from her drowsiness. Damn it, little apple, is it any of her control whether she wakes up or not? Couldn't you have been a little louder when you were moaning (just kidding!)?! (Seriously!) Ye Xi grumbled as she ate her bread, one second she was furious, the next she was immediately captivated by the sight before her—this submarine was apparently a high-end amphibious vessel! She wondered if it could even fly…
“Okay.” Wesker clearly saw the change in Ye Xi’s expression. Her expressions were always easy to understand, so he replied abruptly. Then, without knowing which button he pressed, the car that was speeding on the ground suddenly rose into the air and passed the mountain peak in front of it in the blink of an eye.
It seems...very interesting... Ye Xi stared blankly at the clouds in front of her, then at the countless control buttons on the console. Suddenly, her hands itched to press a button, but before she could, Wesker grabbed her. "You want to skydive?" Wesker raised an eyebrow.
"No...no, that's not true. My hand was just passing by, just passing by." Ye Xi chuckled dryly, withdrawing her hand. Of course, Ye Xi was just acting on a whim. She suddenly wanted to know where Wesker's bottom line was. She always felt that Wesker had been very indulgent towards her lately? Could it be that he had lost interest in her because she was about to die, so he didn't care anymore? Ye Xi thought about it and felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. So she sat down and tried to find a way to probe again.
But, girl, don't you think it's dangerous to push someone too far?
Author's Note: It's not that I'm not updating, it's just that the dorm's internet is down and stuff OJZ. So, not long after leaving the base, Ye Xi is about to run into Carlos and Nikolai's group again. The plot doesn't involve Resident Evil 5. As for testing or anything like that, hey Ye Xi, you're so naughty, watch out for a spanking!
