Hunter × Hunter: The Seven Deadly Sins

Chapter 132 Past x Present

When: March 1, 1984, 10:22 AM.

Location: Pegrosse United, South West Coast.

The container ship that Illumi and others were on board went to the port of Patyrus for supplies, and immediately detoured along the coast of Pegrosse to the southwest coast of Pegrosse.

In the end, the boat stopped at a coastal area 200 kilometers west of Siglan and 100 kilometers away from Umbrella's headquarters.

Pegrose is sparsely populated, and 90% of the people are gathered together, and half of the citizens live in the two international cities of Patyrus and Schuhail.

Illumi wasn't worried at all that someone would find a container ship stranded on the southwestern coast.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some indigenous tribes still exist in those deep mountains and dense forests.

The continent of Pegrose is too big, and the primeval forest is too dangerous.

No one knows how many indigenous tribes survive in those primeval forests.

On the quiet beach of the coast, Aimed waited silently on the beach with a group of soldiers who hunted down pirates.

"Boss, long time no see."

Aimed took the initiative to meet him, then took a step behind Illumi and walked forward.

"What happened to the pirate forces in the Savusavu Republic that you raided?"

Illumi asked casually.

Behind him were four guards in combat uniforms, as well as Caesar, Eric, and Dr. Kipsile.

The four guards looked at the soldiers standing on the beach, and could feel a needle-like sense of danger from them.

That's the oppression of ordinary people by psychics. If they were only ordinary people, they would not be able to feel it, but they are soldiers who have undergone brutal training, so they can clearly perceive that sense of danger.

But as long as they think that these are the subordinates of the new chief in front of them, they feel a lot more relaxed.

"The pirate forces in the Savusavu Republic were wiped out by us in less than a month."

Amed replied indifferently,

The gap between these ability users and ordinary pirates is really too big.

Under the pressure of individual strength, team strength, and equipment, ordinary pirates could not survive for a second in front of these soldiers with mind ability.

They even used the largest pirate camp in the area as a training camp. They prepared for a week before deciding to return to the company.

"By the way, boss."

"I think our company's training base is no longer enough for us."

Aimed said suddenly, and the two came to an armed modified jeep.

Yilumi paused when he got into the car, and thought for a moment.

"Indeed, one hundred and twenty soldiers plus six hundred guards."

"We need to find another place to build a training camp."

Yilumi stepped on the jeep, looked down at Aimed, and said.

"Since you proposed it, you should have a good choice, right?"

Aimed stood in front of the jeep, with the corners of his mouth cracked, and smiled.

"I think the Kerencia rainforest is good."

Illumi nodded, closed the car door, and the soldier in charge of driving immediately started the engine and headed for the Umbrella company headquarters.

The road from here to the company's headquarters is uneven and rugged due to no one's activities, and it takes more than double the normal speed.

Three hours later, Illumi returned to the company and took Dr. Kipsile and the others into the office on the top floor.

"Have new antibiotics been put into production yet?"

The first thing Illumi did after entering the office was to ask about new antibiotics.

"Everything is going according to plan and nothing will go wrong."

Kim Bradley stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked sideways at Illumi, and said in a deep voice.

"That's good, the next is the critical moment."

"During this period of time, the production base must be closely guarded. Other companies or some black hands with ulterior motives may reach out here."

"Pay special attention to Immena Biotechnology Company, after all, we snatched food from them."

"Also, in terms of the news media, you need to come forward."

Illumi himself naturally didn't plan to show up. Even if he could transform into other faces, it would be more appropriate for Kim Bradley to show up after all.

"This is Dr. Kipsil Alagir, who will be the director of our company's Weapons Research Institute from now on."

Illumi pointed sideways at Kipsile and introduced it to Kim Bradley, although they had already communicated on the phone.

At this moment, Kipsile, who had already changed his prison uniform into a decent suit, looked at this man named Kim Bradley, and for some reason, an inexplicable tension rose in his heart.

"Hello, Dr. Kipsiller, this is Kim Bradley, Chairman of Umbrella Biotech."

Kim Bradley stretched out his right hand to shake Kipsile's hand actively. Kipsile looked at Illumi, then at Kim Bradley, and asked uncertainly.

"You two, who is in charge."

Kipsile was a little uncertain. Before he came, he always thought that Illumi was the person in charge. That kind of strength and means, as well as the city government, were not ordinary people.

But now that he saw Kim Bradley, he subconsciously thought he was the real mastermind.

But Illumi's attitude towards Kim Bradley made him a little confused.

"Of course it's... the boss."

Kim Bradley raised a slight arc, and Kipsile looked at Illumi sitting on the sofa again, and opened his mouth.

He didn't expect that this middle-aged man who looked like the leader of a certain country and possessed a strong aura actually called the young man in his twenties the boss.

"Then, please take care of me."

After the words fell, Kipsile shook hands with Kim Bradley. He finally returned to the state of aloof genius before he entered the prison, and his whole body was full of strong self-confidence.

At this moment, he fits the image of a scientific research genius in everyone's imagination.

It's not a little gangster who stays in prison all year round, fights and causes troubles, and gathers people to fight.

"Caesar, take Dr. Kipsile down to rest."

Illumi ordered, Caesar and Eric both nodded, Kipsile glanced at Illumi again, and followed Caesar and the two out of the office.

"What's the voice of the Pegrosse government for us?"

After Dr. Kipsier went down, the topic returned to the matter of new antibiotics.

"The Pegrosse government has indicated that it will give us strong support."

Kim Bradley replied, and Illumi chuckled lightly, closing his eyes and meditating.

The reaction of the Pegrosse government was within their expectations.

If it is not for the support of the government, the high cost and high failure rate of research on antibiotics, except for a few large biopharmaceutical companies, the rest of the companies simply cannot afford the losses caused by research on new antibiotics.

The most disturbing thing is that a super bacteria with strong drug resistance has recently appeared in the medical field. Although it is not very infectious, it has a very high lethality rate.

Under the deadly threat of this new super bacteria and multi-drug-resistant strains of super bacteria, the medical circles all over the world are under pressure.

At this time, a company that was not well-known before, or even heard of it, developed a new type of antibiotic before the large pharmaceutical company Duojia.

The company claims that it has been researching stealthily for many years and has developed a new type of antibiotic that can effectively deal with the current superbugs with increasing drug resistance.

Because of the new antibiotics, many media from all over the world have become interested in Umbrella.

The media in Pegrosse, in particular, began to investigate and report on the incident.

The next day, pictures of Umbrella Biotech's LOGO and the new antibiotic-a appeared in several media newspapers.

This news may not attract too much attention from ordinary people, and people will even forget about it the next morning, but in the eyes of some people, it is particularly eye-catching.

When: March 2, 1984, 10:10 am.

Location: The United States of America, Gero City, Headquarters of Immena Biotechnology Company.

In the headquarters building of Illumina Biotechnology Company, Hubert Hamilton, chairman of the board and CEO of the company, stood in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, looking out at the bustling city full of youthful vigor, his eyes focused, silent, not knowing what to think what.

Hubert Hamilton, who is sixty-four years old this year, will reach the normal retirement age in the United States of America in a year.

Illumina Biotechnology Co., Ltd., as the leader of the industry in the world, has actually not been as easy as the outside world said in the past few years.

On the contrary, the global sales of Illumina's drugs are declining year by year, and all of this is due to drug-resistant superbugs.

And, it can be clearly expected that this decline will not stop in the coming days.

Even though he is the helm of Immena, there are many things that he cannot stop. At most, he is struggling under the tide of the times and trying to save himself.

In the end, things will develop in a direction beyond everyone's control.

This is the tragedy of mankind.

Many times, human beings clearly know the result, but they don't know what to do and how to change it.

Most importantly, humans themselves lack the will to change.

Any civilization will eventually face a critical point of survival, and most of them cannot resist.

And if someone says they did.

he will ask:

You did it? How did you do it?

But the final answer will point to one.

All the destruction of the past, the achievement of the present.

Human beings need to find the will to change in the destruction and complete the evolution.

And now, it is the critical moment for the evolution of Illumina.
