Umbrella Corporation?
Resident Evil?
He's familiar with this game!
This so-called trial world is actually a stitched-together worldview.
Since it has the Resident Evil worldview, then this Bed-Lord City in Japan must also have an Umbrella Corporation base. After all, Umbrella Corporation has a headquarters in Tokyo, and perhaps the virus in this anime was developed and released by this company within this worldview.
But what's the use of knowing?
Although his physical fitness is very good, he can't withstand the guns and cannons of Umbrella Corporation's combat troops. What's more, Umbrella Corporation has also researched various monsters using viruses, which is clearly not the difficulty a trial mission should have.
Since his trial world is called City of the Dead, and not Resident Evil, it proves that the Paradise's mission did not intend for him to raid Umbrella Corporation.
"Trial Mission: Survive Seven Days"
"Preliminary Players, please explore the mission yourselves to improve your mission evaluation."
In other words, this is a bonus point.
If he takes down Umbrella Corporation, his mission score will definitely be ridiculously high.
Accompanied by the occasional screams from the city, the first day ended.
——
"Huh, Umbrella Corporation's assets in Bed-Lord City?"
Saeko Busujima was making breakfast, looking at Xu Lun with some surprise.
"Why do you ask that question?"
"How should I put it, I suspect this virus was released by that company."
Xu Lun didn't hide anything from Saeko Busujima. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely act around Umbrella Corporation in the next few days.
Whether there was a chance to act against Umbrella Corporation, he would have to see the situation first.
"Umbrella Corporation? Spreading a virus?"
Saeko Busujima pondered what Xu Lun said. At first, it sounded absurd—why would a pharmaceutical company want to destroy humanity? But Xu Lun didn't seem like someone who would casually slander others.
Pharmaceutical companies secretly being big villains trying to control the world, it seems that's how it's always portrayed in movies.
"I don't know much about it, but you can ask Shizuka. I remember Shizuka seemed to have worked at Umbrella Corporation," Saeko Busujima told Xu Lun.
"Shizuka Marikawa?"
Xu Lun couldn't imagine Shizuka Marikawa working at Umbrella Corporation.
Shizuka Marikawa hadn't gotten up yet, but Xu Lun was already impatient to know, so he pushed open Shizuka's door.
"Marikawa Sensei, Marikawa Sensei."
"Have you had breakfast?"
Shizuka Marikawa lay on the tatami, opening her hazy eyes. Seeing it was Xu Lun, she even actively leaned forward and rubbed against him.
"Marikawa Sensei, I heard you used to work at Umbrella Corporation."
Xu Lun pinched Shizuka Marikawa's face, making her sober up a bit.
"Stop it!"
"Umbrella Corporation?"
"The Hospital where I interned during college was it!"
"Where?"
——
"Right here."
Shizuka Marikawa opened her phone, found the map of Bed-Lord City, and pointed it out to Xu Lun.
"Here?"
This Hospital looked like a landmark building in Bed-Lord City, quite conspicuous, located in the wealthy coastal area.
"Want to go take a look?"
Saeko Busujima asked Xu Lun.
"I do want to go there."
He had a strong feeling that this Hospital had a high possibility of being an Umbrella Corporation base, after all, Shizuka Marikawa was a character with protagonist's luck.
"Oh, Nan Lixiang's home seems to be nearby."
Shizuka Marikawa looked at the map and suddenly spoke.
"Who is Nan Lixiang?"
"She's my friend."
Shizuka Marikawa tilted her head, thinking for a moment.
"And, her house seems to have weapons, and a very big car."
"Weapons?"
Xu Lun thought for a moment; it seemed there was such a segment in the original plot.
"Then we'll go to Marikawa Sensei's friend's house first."
"Let's leave now."
Saeko Busujima packed some supplies and put them into the off-road vehicle.
At this time, the city was filled with an atmosphere of death and decay. Abandoned cars and debris were piled up on both sides of the streets, and the air was filled with a putrid smell.
Bed-Lord City had basically returned to quiet, with only a few zombies aimlessly wandering.
From time to time, gazes came from the buildings along the road; those were the survivors still alive. The first wave of zombie outbreaks had ended, and if they could work together afterward, they could gradually clear out the zombies.
But unfortunately, this is a stitched-together worldview. If a group of battle gods named Alice didn't appear, it would probably be impossible to end the apocalypse.
Xu Lun opened the car window, reached out, grabbed a pouncing zombie, and sucked it into the Workshop.
A zombie suddenly disappeared in Xu Lun's hand.
Saeko Busujima looked at Xu Lun with some shock but didn't ask further, instead suppressing her inner doubts.
As for Shizuka Marikawa, she was driving and simply didn't see it. But given her personality, even if she had seen it, she probably wouldn't have been surprised, which reminded Xu Lun of his deskmate.
Xu Lun had already immersed his consciousness in the Workshop; dealing with the zombies was up to Saeko Busujima.
"You are... you are the ugliest Curly-haired Baboon in the Baboon Empire!"
As soon as Xu Lun appeared in the Workshop, he heard the sound of a certain Banana cursing him.
"You haven't been here all night thinking about how to curse me, have you?"
Xu Lun looked strangely at the Banana in front of him.
The Banana stiffened for a moment, then floated irregularly as if nothing had happened.
"I didn't think all night, I only thought for three hours, twenty-five minutes, and thirteen seconds."
"The rest of the time you were waiting for me to appear?"
The technology in this Workshop couldn't be as amazing as he imagined, otherwise why would this Banana always seem like an artificial idiot?
"It is the responsibility of the Workshop Assistant to await the return of the Workshop Master."
"This isn't a Workshop Master, but a slave owner, isn't it?"
"Was this a black-hearted Workshop before?"
Xu Lun grumbled, coming to the operating table, and indeed saw the zombie lying on it, unable to move.
(Biological waste detected. Direct destruction recommended.)
"Can't I perform data retrieval first?"
(One energy consumed. Data retrieval complete.)
(Living dead affected by biochemical technology.)
(Extractable list: extremely weak unknown virus / consumes 0.2 energy)
(Direct destruction of this biological waste recommended.)
"Extract unknown virus."
Ignoring the suggestion, Xu Lun obtained a bottle containing less than a drop.
(Unknown Virus: A special experimental product combining plant genes, leech genes, and ant genes.)
(This virus has extreme mutability and is not recommended for use.)
(According to the Sacred Baboon Law, no virus experiments are permitted on Curly-haired Baboons.)
"Leech and ant?"
"What kind of virus was this again?"
There were so many viruses in Resident Evil, Xu Lun only remembered that this thing seemed to be on a female BOSS.
"Decompose zombie."
This zombie only decomposed into a little energy; that Lizard was fifty times more. This energy seemed to be converted from life force.
"However, there seems to be a lot of zombies outside."
This was countless energy. Although the basic operation of the Workshop only required a little energy daily, all other actions besides lighting required energy to activate.
Looking at this drop of virus, he also had some ideas for dealing with Umbrella Corporation. Xu Lun remembered that this virus seemed to have a very strong social structure; simply put, evolving into a higher existence could control zombies.
But bringing in zombies one by one, extracting the virus, and then decomposing them seemed a bit troublesome.
Xu Lun thought for a moment, looked at the Banana floating in the air, and said kindly, "Banana, you seem to still be an intern assistant, right?"
