Chapter 4 - 4

After a brief moment of horror, a frenzy quickly erupted.

At first!

Everyone thought this was a comeback of movie special effects.

Many people even tried to screenshot the content and post it in zombie enthusiast circles, instantly garnering countless followers and dominating the trending topics.

"Disperse."

"Disperse."

"It's all fake!"

The sorcerers gathered in the square, watching the light screen, their expressions shifting from curious vigilance to disdain, before finally scattering in a noisy crowd.

Only a fool would believe such fake content!

3 Nick Fury: Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Originally!

They were still somewhat worried.

As knowledgeable sorcerers, they certainly wouldn't dismiss other Worlds as nonsense like others did.

They knew that other Worlds existed; their own magic energy was power borrowed from other dimensions.

But!

The content on this light screen was too fake, wasn't it?

Getting bitten and instantly turning into a zombie, that's too far-fetched, isn't it? This is a change of species; how could it be so simple? This isn't a movie, it doesn't even follow basic logic..

This is neither scientific nor magic!

"Fake?"

The Ancient One walked out of the temple, her tone somewhat enigmatic.

"Could it be…"

As if hearing the unsaid meaning in the Ancient One's words.

Mordo's pupils contracted, his face changing drastically, "Does that mean, Sorcerer Supreme, that these things are real?"

"That such a doomsday World truly exists, and this… invasion?!"

Mordo swallowed, his voice somewhat choked.

"Perhaps."

The Ancient One replied noncommittally.

The ambiguous response caused a tempest to rise in Mordo's heart.

However!

Soon, he had no time for wild thoughts, because new content appeared on the light screen.

With the Sorcerer Supreme's endorsement, Mordo no longer dared to treat this as a prank.

[The t-virus, used by Umbrella Corporation to develop biological weapons (B.O.W.), has been successfully researched]

[Upon learning this, someone went to Raccoon City, to the Umbrella Corporation's underground Base, the Hive, to steal it. During the theft, a t-virus sample was accidentally broken, the virus leaked, infecting the entire Base, turning them into terrifying zombie monsters, and the virus is still leaking]

[Umbrella Corporation, informed of this, immediately dispatched a special task force to the Hive to shut down the central intelligent core 'red queen' and seal the Base, to prevent the virus from leaking and plunging the World into a doomsday crisis]

As the text introduction appeared.

On the light screen, the number of zombies also continuously multiplied, gathering into a frenzy in the blink of an eye.

At the Base entrance, an elite team, fully armed, stealthily infiltrated.

"Umbrella Corporation?"

Fury's voice was deep and cold, his face darkening a few shades.

The hacker who had previously invaded S.H.I.E.L.D.'s internal network hadn't been found yet, and now an Umbrella Corporation had popped up, one that was attempting to create biological weapons.

They failed to create biological weapons, instead creating a t-virus that was about to bring the entire World to ruin.

This is too ridiculous!

To be able to transform people into zombies, and for a single vial of reagent to infect an entire Base, such biotechnology, let alone S.H.I.L.D., even the U.S. Military would be absolutely incomparable.

It's completely not on the same level.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Egghead (Nickname for Nick Fury) twitched his mouth, his dark face filled with disbelief.

If hacking technology could be explained by extraordinary talent, with geniuses being unique, then biotechnology is purely a resource-intensive project.

No matter how talented or monstrous one might be, without sufficient resources and a foundation, it would be impossible to achieve results.

Let alone create a virus capable of causing a World apocalypse.

And… Umbrella Corporation?

A financial power capable of influencing the World's pattern, and he had never even heard of it; how could that be!

"My S.H.I.E.L.D. is the Guardian of Earth!"

"What Umbrella Corporation, it's just a Joker seeking attention."

Fury's gaze sharpened.

His belief was as firm as iron.

However… before he could voice his thoughts.

The content appearing before him made his expression freeze, as if he had seen something unbelievable.

"This, how is this possible?"

[Recruiting candidates...]

[Recruitment complete]

[Deployment: Resident Evil]

Cold text appeared again, and the content on the light screen changed once more.

As if the perspective had changed, the scene went from flat to three-dimensional.

In the corridor where zombies roamed, a woman in a black catsuit appeared, curvaceous, bending forward as if a cheetah about to pounce.

Amidst the danger, she exuded a captivating wild beauty, instantly drawing the attention of countless people.

"Natasha?"

"She… why is she here?"

Fury's pupils contracted; he could, of course, recognize his most capable subordinate in a minute.

The figure in the image was none other than one of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s top Agents.

Black Widow! Natasha!

But—

Natasha, before this, had clearly followed his orders to carry out a secret mission in a Third World; how could she suddenly appear here?

Could it be?

Were those things true?

Fury's pupils contracted, his eyes filled with disbelief and fear.

Invasion? Myriad Heavens?

All sorts of unimaginable rewards?

Before he could think further, the scene on the light screen underwent another sudden change.

"Watch out—"

"Danger!!"

Coulson's face changed; right behind Black Widow, a hideous, twisted zombie was lunging at her, claws outstretched.
