• An Ran revised her script, restoring ideas she had previously cut because of budget limits.
• Su Wan officially established S.H.I.E.L.D. Pictures as a new company built from scratch.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Pictures finished forming and began preparing its first 3D Holographic Film as Su Wan took personal oversight. Chen Mo returned to the Castle’s underground laboratory and began choosing a world to cross into, rejecting the first two projections while holding out hope for the third.

• S.H.I.E.L.D. Group used its experienced internal team and talent pool to establish S.H.I.E.L.D. Pictures, which Su Wan chose to oversee personally.
• Chen Mo returned to the Castle’s underground laboratory a month after coming back from the world of "Transformers" and prepared to cross over again.

• Chen Mo inspected the second world, where a human tide overwhelmed a city behind a towering wall, and ruled it out as well.
• Chen Mo kept hoping that the third world would offer something valuable.

Chen Mo entered the world of Resident Evil after sealing himself inside an isolated laboratory and traveling in an Iron Man suit. He discovered that the T-Virus had already devastated the city, and began assessing how airborne exposure spread the infection.

• Chen Mo recognized the projected world as Resident Evil and decided to enter despite the risks.
• Chen Mo teleported to the HYDRA base and ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to seal and isolate the laboratory.
• Chen Mo put on his Iron Man suit and traveled to the ruined city.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. detected unknown viral components in the air and activated the suit's air filtration system.
• Chen Mo identified the virus as the T-Virus and deduced that airborne exposure was less likely to infect healthy people than bites or contaminated wounds.

Chen Mo tested whether the airborne T-Virus could harm his Pure Blood, then used J.A.R.V.I.S. and satellite images to locate himself in Los Angeles. The fortress surrounded by zombies and a plea for help, along with a crater in Tokyo, helped him identify the outbreak’s circumstances and approximate timeline.

• Chen Mo stayed inside the Iron Man suit and used an electron microscope to test how his blood reacted to the T-Virus.
• Chen Mo saw his enhanced immune cells quickly destroy the T-Virus without triggering a mutation.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. connected to a satellite and identified Chen Mo’s location as Los Angeles.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. showed a fortress surrounded by zombies, with “HELP US!” painted on its roof.
• Chen Mo checked a satellite map of central Tokyo and confirmed his guess after seeing a giant crater.

Chen Mo recognized that he had arrived in the world of Resident Evil 4 after the destruction of Umbrella Corporation's Tokyo Base, and planned to wait in Los Angeles for Alice, whose T-Virus antibodies he wanted. He located the ship named Arcadia off the Los Angeles coast and prepared to use the local zombie horde for shooting practice.

• Chen Mo identified the scenes as events from Resident Evil 4 and realized he had arrived after the Tokyo Base was destroyed.
• Chen Mo decided to seek Alice so he could study the antibodies that allowed her to fuse perfectly with the T-Virus.
• Chen Mo recalled that Alice would travel to Arcadia, find Claire there, and then head south with her toward Los Angeles.
• Chen Mo chose to wait in Los Angeles rather than search for Alice, and considered practicing his shooting on the evolved zombies.
• Chen Mo zoomed in on a satellite map and saw the name "Arcadia" on a massive cargo ship off the Los Angeles coast.

Chen Mo identified Arcadia as Wesker’s testing ground and headed for the Los Angeles prison fortress, where he expected Alice to arrive. He drove a heavy truck into the sea of zombies surrounding the fortress, leaving his approach underway.

• Chen Mo recognized Arcadia as Wesker’s ship, where survivors were captured for experiments and to sustain Wesker’s unstable T-Virus fusion.
• Chen Mo decided to wait for Alice at the prison fortress rather than confront Wesker, and ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to watch the ship and search for Alice’s plane.
• Chen Mo removed his Iron Man suit, teleported to a rooftop, and spotted the fortress and the survivors’ rooftop plea for help.
• Chen Mo chose to reach the fortress by driving through the zombies so he would not alarm the survivors by flying in.
• Chen Mo drove a heavy truck into the outer edge of the zombie horde, knocking zombies aside as he accelerated toward the fortress.

Chen Mo drove a heavy truck through a massive zombie horde toward the prison, where the survivors spotted him and debated whether he was a threat or needed help. As the damaged truck slowed among the densely packed zombies, the survivors climbed onto the wall to watch what would happen.

• Chen Mo drove his heavy truck into the zombie horde, crushing zombies as its speed began to fall.
• Christo, Angel Ortiz, Luther West, Bennett, and Kim Yong spotted the truck from the prison rooftop.
• Angel Ortiz judged that the truck was unlikely to be a rescue mission and warned it could not break through the horde.
• Bennett urged the others to stop the driver before he damaged the prison wall, but Luther West led them downstairs to assess the situation.
• The five survivors climbed onto the prison wall and saw that the truck was badly damaged and struggling through the tightly packed zombies.

Chen Mo’s heavy truck lost a tire and became trapped in the zombie horde just short of the prison wall. As the survivors feared he had died, he burst out of the cab and appeared on the roof, prompting Angel Ortiz to call for his rescue.

• The truck’s bumper fell off, and zombies began clinging to it as its progress slowed.
• A tire blew out with seventy or eighty meters left to the wall, and the truck stopped thirty or forty meters away, surrounded by zombies.
• Christo cried out as the wall’s survivors lost sight of Chen Mo, while Bennett gloated over the apparent failure.
• Gunfire erupted from the truck, its door flew off, and Chen Mo climbed onto the cab roof.
• Angel Ortiz insisted they save Chen Mo, but Bennett objected to charging into the horde.

Luther West recognized Chen Mo’s composure as he faced a zombie horde and organized a rescue from the wall. While Kim Yong and Christo searched for a rope and hook, Luther and Angel Ortiz shot at the zombies climbing the truck, leaving Chen Mo surrounded as they tried to buy him time.

• Luther West admired Chen Mo’s calmness as zombies climbed toward him on the truck roof.
• Luther ordered Kim Yong and Christo to fetch a rope and an iron hook so he could make a zip line from the wall to the truck.

• Bennett secretly kept a small pistol hidden and hoped the others would waste their ammunition.
• Chen Mo drew two pistols and rapidly shot the zombies reaching the truck roof from both sides.
• Christo and Kim Yong arrived with a rope and grappling hook, while Luther West and Angel Ortiz watched Chen Mo’s marksmanship in amazement.
• Luther West took the rescue equipment from Kim Yong and Claire and began attaching the hook to the rope.
• Chen Mo swept the zombies from the sides and front of the truck, but a zombie climbed onto the cargo bed and lunged at him from behind.

Chen Mo leaped from the truck and carved a path through the zombie horde toward the prison wall. As Luther West prepared to pull him up, Bennett stole the rope and refused to help.

• Chen Mo ignored the warnings about zombies behind him, leaped from the truck, and shot down the zombies where he landed.
• Chen Mo sprinted through the horde, firing both pistols and clearing a path toward the prison wall.
• Luther West grabbed the rope and iron hook to pull Chen Mo up the wall.
• Bennett snatched the rope from Luther West, claiming he was protecting everyone from zombies climbing up after Chen Mo.
• Luther West argued that they could pull Chen Mo up and cut the rope before any zombies followed.

Bennett threw the rescue rope into the zombie horde, but Chen Mo returned the hook and climbed over the wall alive. Luther West and the others welcomed Chen Mo as a powerful ally, while one person turned pale at his arrival.

• Chen Mo asked whether they had seen any survivors aboard Arcadia, and the group admitted nobody had appeared on deck.
• Kim Yong spotted a zombie attacking Bennett, while another zombie climbed over the wall and fixed its gaze on the group.

Chen Mo revealed that he had deliberately left the rope for the zombies to climb, then shot the zombies and severed the rope before they could threaten anyone else. Bennett was bitten and faced certain death, while Kim Yong finally confronted reality and resolved to rely on himself.

• Chen Mo explained that he had used the rope to lure zombies onto the wall after Bennett threw it down and nearly got him killed.
• Chen Mo severed the rope with a shot, then killed the zombies climbing over the railing and the one biting Bennett.
• Luther West, Christo, Angel Ortiz, and Kim Yong reacted to Bennett's fatal bite with different degrees of distress and satisfaction.
• Kim Yong's anger at Bennett and the zombies replaced his former obedience, and he resolved to live without relying on others.
• Chen Mo noticed Kim Yong's change and judged that his principles and bottom line mattered more than his current lack of strength or courage.

Bennett, bitten by a zombie, tried to shoot Luther West and the others, but Chen Mo killed him before he could fire. After learning Bennett had thrown away the rope and endangered everyone, Chen Mo said people like him would only get more survivors killed.

• Bennett realized he had been bitten and blamed the group, then drew a concealed pistol and aimed it at them.
• Chen Mo shot Bennett between the eyebrows before Bennett could fire, and Luther West and Angel Ortiz riddled Bennett's body with bullets.

• Luther West asked Chen Mo what was wrong with the ship, and Chen Mo explained that he had followed it after seeing armed soldiers tie up survivors and drag them aboard.
• Chen Mo said the ship’s crew had traveled down the West Coast using broadcasts to lure survivors, and that their trained, well-equipped soldiers suggested they were a powerful organized force.

Chen Mo convinced Luther West and the others that the mysterious ship Arcadia had survived the outbreak because its crew had been prepared for it. He then revealed that the Umbrella Corporation had likely created the T-Virus, leaving the survivors stunned by the possibility that the apocalypse had been deliberately caused.

• Chen Mo argued that the armed force aboard Arcadia must have known about the outbreak in advance and contained the virus before it spread.
• Luther West and the others reconsidered Arcadia and realized that the ship’s survival and ability to gather survivors seemed suspicious.
• Chen Mo asked where the virus had come from and suggested that the disaster was man-made.
• Chen Mo named the Umbrella Corporation as the likely source of the outbreak.
• Luther West and the others recognized the Umbrella Corporation’s biomedical research capabilities and accepted that it might have created the T-Virus.

Chen Mo warned Luther West and the others that Arcadia might be connected to Umbrella Corporation, then offered two ways to escape the prison. He revealed that his trailer held enough pistol ammunition to clear out the zombie horde, but said the others would not join him in a risky breakout.

• Chen Mo told Luther West, Angel Ortiz, Christo, and Kim Yong that Arcadia might be part of Umbrella Corporation's conspiracy.
• Chen Mo proposed either charging through the zombies or killing every zombie outside the prison.

• Luther West noticed the trailer behind Chen Mo's truck and asked whether it held ammunition.
• Chen Mo said the trailer had enough ammunition to clear the horde, but it was all pistol ammunition and he would not risk the others helping him escape.
