A Hell of a World

"F*ck, what kind of hellish world is this?" In the corner of a small garden, a black-haired youth, looking no older than fourteen or fifteen, stared at the contents of the newspaper in his hands and couldn't help but scream.

The entire left side of the newspaper was dedicated to introducing a company and its products—a new type of medication for treating rare diseases.

"Maintaining Human Health." Above that, the newspaper provided a brief history of the company and its mission statement. All of this seemed perfectly normal; it was just an advertisement.

But the problem was the company's logo, which was the reason for the youth's exclamation: a red and white umbrella-shaped emblem. It was the Umbrella Corporation.

To others, this might look like a perfectly normal company, but to the black-haired youth, it was severely abnormal, because he was not from this world.

To the youth, the Umbrella Corporation had once been nothing more than a company in a video game—a wicked entity that appeared to be a pharmaceutical firm on the surface, but was secretly researching biological weapons, having created zombies, the Tyrant, and numerous other bio-weapons that caused massive casualties.

In a game, that didn't matter; it was actually quite interesting. But if it appeared in reality, that was no longer an interesting matter at all.

"Don't tell me I transmigrated into the world of Resident Evil. Damn it, I can't be that 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 it's not the movie version of the Resident Evil world." The Resident Evil world could be simply divided into two: the game and the movie. These were two worlds with vastly different levels of danger.

If it were the game world, as long as one avoided a few dangerous locations or traveled to the East, it was generally very safe. But if it were the movie world, heh.

Unfortunately, whether it was the game world or the movie world, it made no difference to the youth right now, because the place he was currently in was the legendary Raccoon City.

The newspaper in his hand was the Raccoon City Daily.

"I'm probably the unluckiest transmigrator or reincarnator ever. Compared to my peers who are out there conquering kingdoms or at least becoming regional powerhouses, it's truly embarrassing."

Shen Fei was the name of this black-haired youth. In his previous life, he certainly didn't go by this name, but that name no longer mattered to him now.

Shen Fei had gained the consciousness of his past life only a few days ago. It happened because the youth had an accident, and Shen Fei's consciousness emerged—or rather, awakened—because Shen Fei also possessed the memories of the youth's previous experiences.

The youth was Chinese, a mixed-race child whose parents both worked for the Umbrella Corporation. By all accounts, this should have been a very happy family.

In this world, the Umbrella Corporation was famous for its high pay and excellent benefits; every year, countless people would break their necks trying to get hired.

It wasn't until the youth was ten years old that his parents never returned. According to the Umbrella Corporation, they had encountered an accident and met with misfortune. Afterward, the youth became an orphan and had been living in the Raccoon City Orphanage ever since.

The Raccoon City Orphanage housed many orphans whose parents had worked for Umbrella. Precisely because of this, the orphanage's conditions were excellent; compared to other orphanages, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.

Cough, cough, cough.

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

Shen Fei didn't mind thinking the worst of the Umbrella Corporation. On the surface, the children living in this orphanage, heavily sponsored by Umbrella, seemed to live very happy lives.

But every year, a few children would mysteriously disappear. Regarding this, Umbrella's explanation was that these children had been adopted, but what the actual situation was, only the Umbrella Corporation likely knew.

Because of the existence of the Umbrella Corporation, Raccoon City was very prosperous, but at the same time, it was also very isolated. To leave Raccoon City and reach other cities, even by car, took at least three days.

Originally, Raccoon City was just a remote mountain town. It wasn't until the Umbrella Corporation set up shop there that, over the course of several decades, it transformed into a very prosperous city.

The people of this city were very grateful to the Umbrella Corporation, and at the same time, the company strictly controlled every industry in the city.

Unfortunately, these people had no idea what kind of price they had paid for this small town to become the prosperous city it was today.

"If I'm going to turn into a zombie, I'd rather end it myself. Why am I so unlucky?" His physical condition made Shen Fei extremely anxious, but unfortunately, there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.

Go report the Umbrella Corporation? Don't joke around. He dared to bet that before he could finish speaking, he would become one of Umbrella's test subjects.

"I remember there's an antidote for the T-Virus. I have to rely on that now."

"Xiao Fei, Officer Jill is here to see you." Just then, a person dressed like a nun walked over, with two young women in similar attire standing behind her.

"Hello, I'm Jill, and this is Rebecca." The taller woman crouched down in front of Shen Fei and asked with a smile, though there was no warmth in her eyes despite the smile on her face.

"Hello." The other, slightly petite woman waved with a smile.

"Jill, Rebecca... it looks like it's the game world." Because there was no Rebecca in the Resident Evil movie world. Shen Fei didn't know much about the Resident Evil games; he only knew this much because he had watched the movies and looked up information and videos online.

Shen Fei had certainly played the Resident Evil games, but he had given up completely after playing for only a short while. Horror games were what he feared most; he could watch them through videos, but he absolutely dared not play them himself.

"Do you remember what happened that day?" Jill asked with a smile.

"I'm not very sure. I just heard screams, then saw blood and a dark shadow. I was scared, so I ran away. After that, I don't remember anything."

The reason for Shen Fei's awakening was that a few days ago, he and some other children had gone to the outskirts to play and encountered an accident. The original Shen Fei, of course, didn't know what caused it, but the current Shen Fei knew: they had been attacked by Zombie Dogs.

He was the only one who had escaped.

Unfortunately, it was impossible to tell Jill and Rebecca this. It wasn't a matter of whether they would believe him, but rather that in the distance, near a rockery, a cold-faced youth wearing sunglasses stood with his arms crossed, watching them—Wesker.

Wesker was the villain who left the deepest impression on Shen Fei in Resident Evil. The only one who shared the same status was Ada Wong; even the two protagonists, Leon and Chris, ranked behind them.

"Ah." As he said this, Shen Fei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head and couldn't help but cry out loudly.

"Xiao Fei!" The nun on the side immediately rushed over with a worried expression, and Rebecca also rushed over to begin checking Shen Fei's body.

"You two should come back next time." Seeing Shen Fei slowly calm down, the nun immediately said this to Jill and Rebecca.

"Alright." Although Jill was somewhat reluctant, she left with Rebecca.

"Any results?" After the two arrived at Wesker's side, Wesker immediately asked.

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

"I have some leads on my end; I can go check them out," Wesker said after glancing in Shen Fei's direction.

"That guy Wesker, damn it." In the game, Wesker was very cool, but seeing him in reality, it wasn't a matter of being cool—it was a life-threatening problem.

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

"Next, let's interview the winner of this year's Turing Award, the famous chairman of Stark Group, Tony Stark, and hear his thoughts."

Just as he walked into the cafeteria and heard this sentence, Shen Fei collapsed headfirst onto the floor, causing a gasp from the people around him. Before losing consciousness, only one thought remained in his mind.

"What kind of hellish world is this?"
