What the Hell Kind of World Was This?

"Fuck you, what the hell kind of world was this?" In a corner of the small garden, a black-haired youth who looked only fourteen or fifteen stared at the newspaper in his hands and cried out involuntarily.

The entire left page of the newspaper introduced a company and one of its products—a new drug for treating rare diseases.

"Maintaining Human Health." Above that was a brief introduction to the company's history and mission statement. All of that was perfectly normal; it was just an advertisement.

But the problem was the company's emblem—the logo. That was what had made the black-haired youth cry out: a red-and-white umbrella-shaped symbol. Umbrella Corporation.

This company might have seemed perfectly normal to everyone else, but to the black-haired youth, it was profoundly abnormal, because he was not from this world.

To Shen Fei, Umbrella Corporation had once been nothing more than a company from a game, a pharmaceutical company on the surface that secretly researched biological weapons, created countless bio-weapons such as zombies and Tyrants, and caused enormous casualties.

In a game, that did not matter. It was even pretty interesting. But if it appeared in reality, that was no longer something interesting.

"Did I transmigrate into the world of Resident Evil? Damn it, I can't be this unlucky, can I?" For an ordinary person, the world of Resident Evil was exceptionally dangerous, and the black-haired youth was just an ordinary person.

"I hope this isn't the movie version of Resident Evil." Broadly speaking, the Resident Evil world could be divided into two versions: the games and the movies. Their levels of danger were completely different.

In the game world, as long as one avoided a few dangerous places or went to the east, it was generally very safe. But if it was the movie world... heh.

Unfortunately, whether it was the game world or the movie world made little difference to Shen Fei right now, because he was in the legendary Raccoon City.

The newspaper in his hands was the Raccoon City Daily.

"I'm probably the unluckiest transmigrator—or reincarnator—ever. Compared to my peers, who either ruled the world or at the very least became powerful figures in their own right, this is downright humiliating."

Shen Fei was the black-haired youth's name. Naturally, that had not been his name in his previous life, but that old name no longer mattered to him.

Shen Fei had regained the awareness of his previous life only a few days ago. The black-haired youth had suffered an accident, and then Shen Fei's consciousness had appeared—or rather, awakened—because Shen Fei also retained the youth's earlier memories.

The black-haired youth was Chinese and mixed-race. His father was Chinese, and both of his parents had worked for Umbrella Corporation. It should have been a very happy family.

Umbrella Corporation was famous in this world for its high pay and excellent benefits. Every year, countless people fought desperately for a chance to get in.

Until the black-haired youth turned ten, his parents never came home again. Umbrella Corporation claimed they had suffered an accident and met with misfortune. After that, the youth became an orphan and had lived at the Raccoon City Orphanage ever since.

Many of the orphans at the Raccoon City Orphanage had parents who worked for Umbrella Corporation. Perhaps because of that, the orphanage's treatment was excellent. Compared to other orphanages, it was like heaven and earth.

Cough, cough, cough.

"Damn it. Looks like I've been infected with the T-Virus." After coughing violently dozens of times until tears streamed down his face, Shen Fei looked at the bandages around his arm and thought to himself.

When it came to Umbrella Corporation, Shen Fei did not mind assuming the worst. On the surface, the children in this orphanage, which Umbrella Corporation funded lavishly, all seemed to live very happily.

But every year, some children vanished without explanation. Umbrella Corporation claimed they had been adopted, but what had really happened was probably known only to Umbrella Corporation itself.

Because of Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City was extremely prosperous. At the same time, it was also very isolated. To leave Raccoon City and reach another city, even by car, took at least three days.

Raccoon City had originally been nothing more than a remote mountain town. Only after Umbrella Corporation established itself here had several decades transformed it into a thriving city.

The people of the city were deeply grateful to Umbrella Corporation, while Umbrella Corporation tightly controlled every industry in the city.

Unfortunately, these people had no idea what price had been paid to turn this little town into the prosperous city it was today.

"If I turn into a zombie, I'd rather kill myself. Seriously, why was I so unlucky?" His physical condition made Shen Fei extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Reporting Umbrella Corporation? What a joke. He would probably become one of Umbrella Corporation's test subjects before he even finished speaking.

"I remember the T-Virus has an antidote. That's all I can rely on now."

"Xiao Fei, Officer Jill is here to see you." Just then, a woman dressed like a nun walked over. Behind her stood two young women wearing similar outfits.

"Hello, I'm Jill. This is Rebecca." The taller woman crouched before Shen Fei and asked with a smile. Although she was smiling, there was no trace of amusement in her eyes.

"Hello." The other, somewhat petite woman smiled and waved.

"Jill, Rebecca... then this is the game world." Rebecca did not exist in the movie version of Resident Evil. Shen Fei did not know much about the Resident Evil games; he had only looked up information and watched videos online after seeing the movies.

Of course, Shen Fei had played the Resident Evil games, but only briefly before giving up completely. Horror games were what he feared most. He could watch videos of them, but he absolutely did not dare play them himself.

"What exactly happened that day? Do you still remember?" Jill asked with a smile.

"I'm not very sure either. I only heard screams, then I saw blood and a black shadow. I got scared and ran away. After that, I don't know what happened."

The reason Shen Fei's consciousness had awakened was that a few days ago, Shen Fei and several children had gone to play in the outskirts and encountered an accident. The original Shen Fei naturally had no idea what had caused it, but the current Shen Fei knew: Zombie Dogs had attacked them.

He was the only one who had escaped.

But he could not possibly tell Jill and Rebecca that. It was not even a matter of whether they would believe him. Near a rockery in the distance, a cold-faced young man in sunglasses stood with his arms crossed, watching them. Wesker.

Among the villains in Resident Evil, Wesker was the one Shen Fei remembered most clearly. Only Ada Wong held the same place in his mind. Even the two protagonists, Leon and Chris, came after them.

"Ah!" As he spoke, Shen Fei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and could not help crying out.

"Xiao Fei!" The nun rushed over immediately, her face full of concern. Rebecca rushed over as well and began examining Shen Fei's body.

"You should come back another time." Once Shen Fei gradually calmed down, the nun immediately said this to Jill and Rebecca.

"Fine." Though Jill was somewhat unwilling, she still left with Rebecca.

"Did you find anything?" After the two reached Wesker's side, he immediately asked.

"He didn't see anything clearly," Jill said with a stern expression.

"I found a few clues on my end. We can look into them." Wesker glanced in Shen Fei's direction as he spoke.

"Damn Wesker." Wesker had been cool in the games, but seeing him in reality was no longer a matter of being cool. It was a matter of life and death.

"I hope he didn't notice me." For Shen Fei right now, the best thing was to stay as far away from Wesker as possible.

"Next, let us interview Tony Stark, chairman of the renowned Stark Group and this year's Turing Award winner, about whom he would like to thank."

The moment Shen Fei entered the cafeteria and heard those words, he collapsed straight to the floor, drawing startled cries from everyone around him. Before he lost consciousness, only one sentence remained in his mind.

"What the hell kind of world was this?"
