Extra: Alice (I)

Three years into Dragon Revelation, after Ye Bufan quelled the AI rebellion, Earth slowly began to recover its vitality, and people's lives gradually returned to normal.

However, that's just how the world is: where there's sunshine, there's shadow. As everything prospered, some people with ulterior motives began to stir.

In South America, about a hundred kilometers from Samba Country, there is an island group. The largest island, spanning dozens of square kilometers, remains unnamed.

The climate here is pleasant, the island's vegetation is lush, and the central area is filled with various buildings and smooth roads, resembling a bustling small town.

In the mornings, people come and go, all distinctly Japanese.

Decades ago, Great Dog Country, fearing its islands would sink, began expanding overseas with its funds. Samba Country was a key target, and tens of millions of its citizens had already immigrated there.

This island has about two to three hundred thousand residents, all belonging to one power—the Ishikawa Family.

In Great Dog Country, the Ishikawa Family is absolutely renowned, most advocating for militarism. Many of the enshrined war criminals originated from this Family or its affiliated powers.

Because of their ambition, the Ishikawa Family took the lead in overseas expansion, fully acquiring this small island and beginning to accumulate their forces.

The Patriarch, Ishikawa Yuichi, is a very shrewd man. To prevent others from discovering his ambitions, many things here are independent, including not being connected to the world's network.

Originally, these measures were to prevent discovery by China and other countries, but they inadvertently became a protective talisman, fortunately preserving the island from robot attacks during that catastrophe.

In a secret room in the center of the island, several core members were currently holding a meeting.

Seated in the center was the Patriarch, Ishikawa Yuichi, with his younger brother Ishikawa Jiro beside him. Also present were core members Ishikawa Jianying, Ishikawa Tomokazu, and Ishikawa Miwa.

Ishikawa Yuichi's gaze turned to Ishikawa Jiro: “How is the formation of our troops progressing?”

Ishikawa Jiro lowered his head: “Progress is not smooth. Resources are scarce here, and we must avoid being discovered by China. Currently, we can only equip a force of twenty thousand.”

“Baka, it’s too slow! What can twenty thousand people do? When can we take over all of Samba? When can we restore the former glory of our Great Dog Country!”

It turned out that after the four islands of Great Dog Country sank, many overseas Great Dog Country people remained unrepentant, especially the Ishikawa Family, who had been recruiting soldiers and buying horses.

According to their plan, they would accumulate enough strength to first swallow Samba Country, then use it as a Foundation to expand outwards and establish a new Great Dog Country.

However, except for China, other countries suffered varying degrees of destruction from AI, including Samba Country, which has not yet fully recovered its Origin Qi. They also lack sufficient resources and weapons to form a powerful army.

Moreover, such actions must be carried out secretly to avoid detection by China.

Ishikawa Jiro bowed his head: “Hai! I am incompetent, please punish me, Patriarch!”

“Patriarch, it seems rebuilding Great Dog Country relying on the army is not easy. In fact, we can consider a different approach.”

The speaker was Ishikawa Jianying, the Ishikawa Family's strategist, known for his cunning and deviousness.

Ishikawa Yuichi snorted coldly: “Besides forming a powerful army, what other methods are there?”

Ishikawa Jianying said: “Patriarch, I think this path is indeed difficult. Now that Ye Bufan has returned, all of China is flourishing. Neither their military nor their Cultivators can contend with them. If we're not careful, it could lead to utter destruction.

If we are destroyed again, then Great Dog Country will be completely finished.”

Ishikawa Yuichi said: “So what? To dominate the world, to restore the Empire's glory, we will spare no effort, even if it means death.”

Ishikawa Jianying said: “Your spirit, Patriarch, is admirable, but some matters still require careful method. If we take a different path, it would be easier and the success rate much higher.”

Ishikawa Jiro said impatiently: “What exactly do you want to say? Get to the point.”

Ishikawa Jianying revealed a sinister smile: “My meaning is that to conquer the whole world, sometimes it doesn't necessarily require an army. A different method can also work, such as viruses!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present changed their expressions. Ishikawa Yuichi's expression was grave: “Elaborate.”

Ishikawa Jianying said sinisterly: “Viruses are good things; as long as there are people, they are useful. Those fools from that country used them before, and the effect was good, but their purpose was only to make money.

If we change direction and use this thing to conquer the whole world, spreading the virus to infect everyone.

With the life-saving antidote in our hands, everyone will be our slaves, everything will be under our feet, and rebuilding Great Dog Country will be simply effortless.

To be precise, at that time, the entire Earth will be ours, not just one country.

In the face of a powerful virus, whether it's China's Cultivators or their army, they will all grovel at our feet begging for mercy.”

After he finished speaking, everyone present changed their expressions. Ishikawa Tomokazu said: “The principle is simple, but where do we get a virus with sufficient power?”

“The reason I didn't propose this idea before was precisely this consideration: we didn't have a powerful enough virus in our hands.”

Ishikawa Jianying said, “But it's different now. In recent years, I've sent out many people to collect information all over the world, and now we have a great harvest.

Undoubtedly, the country most advanced in virus research is that country. They previously took away the research results our ancestors developed in China, and later built nearly a thousand laboratories worldwide.

Including their large biopharmaceutical companies, they have also continuously invested large amounts of funds in this area of research, and success is not far off.

And after this AI crisis, that country suffered severe devastation and was in ruins, leading to a lot of leaked data.

I took advantage of this, either by bribing or seizing, or by other means, to collect all their research results and claim them as our own.

It's no exaggeration to say that we now possess the most potent viruses and data in the world.”

“Really? This is absolutely a great achievement!”

After hearing this, Ishikawa Yuichi was overjoyed: “So, what do you say we do next?”

“We are now just one small step away from developing a deadly virus. The next step is to gather the world's top biomedical researchers from all over the world and have them take that step.

Once successful, we won't even need a powerful army to become the masters of the entire Earth!”

“Well said, let's do it!”

Ishikawa Yuichi immediately made the decision, and none of the others objected. A massive conspiracy unfolded on this small island.

“At the beginning of the new year, the new book still needs refinement, and the extra chapters continue.” Three years into Dragon Revelation, after Ye Bufan quelled the AI rebellion, Earth slowly began to recover its vitality, and people's lives gradually returned to normal.
