Op-Op Fruit

"I don't want to become a zombie!" Shen Fei suddenly jumped out of bed in the middle of the night and shouted.

After Shen Fei used the light leaking in through the window to make out his surroundings, he finally let out a long breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Only then did Shen Fei realize that his forehead was drenched in sweat. Not only that, but his pajamas and the bed were soaked through as well.

"Looks like it was a dream." Feeling sticky and uncomfortable, Shen Fei wanted to get out of bed. But the moment his hand pressed against the mattress, he immediately sprang off it.

"This..." Shen Fei instantly sensed that something was wrong.

As Shen Fei focused and thought deeply, a strange expression suddenly appeared on his face. He then raised his right hand, and a hemispherical space immediately formed beneath his palm.

"This is..." Looking at the strange space, Shen Fei did not know what to say for a moment. "Room." As he spoke, the hemispherical space immediately expanded, forming a two-meter-wide hemispherical space before him.

"This is the Op-Op Fruit." The memories in his mind and the sight before him left Shen Fei no choice but to believe that he seemed to possess the power of the Op-Op Fruit.

"Why the Op-Op Fruit? Could it be because I ate an Op-Op Fruit before?" Of course, what Shen Fei had eaten before had not been a real Op-Op Fruit. It had merely been a fake fruit sold at an anime convention. There had been all kinds of fruits and flavors, and they had not tasted nearly as awful as the original Devil Fruits.

"If I'd known, I should've eaten a Logia-type one." Shen Fei withdrew his power and muttered under his breath. As for how he had transmigrated, or perhaps been reborn, he had no memory at all. He only remembered being in an elevator when there was a tremendous bang, his vision went dark, and then he knew nothing.

"At least I finally have a Golden Finger." After truly confirming that he possessed the Op-Op Fruit's abilities, Shen Fei immediately began studying them according to his memories.

Spatial swapping was possible, but what use was a spatial swap with a range of only two meters? On the other hand, the ability to control every object within the space was quite good.

What was the Op-Op Fruit? Within its range of effect, it was like being placed on an operating table, subject to the control of whoever performed the operation. In a sense, it could be considered a domain.

But while the ability was powerful, the range Shen Fei could currently use was far too small.

"Law seemed able to expand his Room to cover an entire city. His stamina was insane." The Op-Op Fruit—or rather, Devil Fruit abilities in general—consumed stamina when activated. Shen Fei had only tested a few abilities, yet he already felt as if he had run several hundred-meter sprints and was about to collapse from exhaustion.

"It seems the Op-Op Fruit neutralized the T-Virus, and it even seems to have evolved me somewhat." Feeling the changes in his body, Shen Fei soon figured out the reason behind them.

"With this thing, becoming a doctor would be pretty good." Within the Op-Op Fruit's domain, even if someone was chopped into eight pieces, they would not die. It would be a waste not to become a doctor with such an ability.

The reason doctors encountered all kinds of problems during surgery was ultimately because the human body was too intricate and difficult to handle. But with the Op-Op Fruit, there would be no such problems at all.

"The Op-Op Fruit and viruses really are a perfect match." Umbrella Corporation possessed all kinds of viruses, and each came with all kinds of Side Effects. Unless someone was compatible, infection would only result in becoming a monster.

Even Wesker, whose physical talent allowed him to adapt to multiple viruses, ultimately became a monster because he injected too many viruses.

Umbrella Corporation's researchers could not resolve those Side Effects, but that did not mean Shen Fei could not. No, rather, it meant the Op-Op Fruit could.

"T-Virus enhancement, G-Virus enhancement... If these two viruses could enhance someone without Side Effects, they could greatly increase one's strength. I wonder how long it will be before the Raccoon City crisis breaks out." Thinking of the Raccoon City crisis, Shen Fei's joy at obtaining the Op-Op Fruit faded.

The Op-Op Fruit's ability was not much help to Lin Fei right now, since its range was too small.

"I'm exhausted. I should rest first. Oh, I think I forgot something." Continuously testing the Op-Op Fruit's abilities had left Shen Fei extremely tired. After casually wiping the sweat from his body with water, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

"It feels great to recover so well. As expected, the body is the foundation of everything. But..." The next day, Shen Fei woke up full of energy. After thinking for a moment, he still put on an extremely weak appearance.

"I knew I'd forgotten something. So that's it—Stark, Iron Man. I forgot about you." While eating, Shen Fei heard the news mention Stark again and finally remembered.

"Stark, Stark... So it really is that playboy." Although Stark was still fairly young, Shen Fei had not recognized him just by looking at his face. Yes, he had not recognized him.

Shen Fei had mild face blindness, especially when looking at foreigners. If it had been the middle-aged Stark, perhaps he might have recognized him, but at this age, he truly could not.

The reason he could confirm that Stark was indeed that Stark despite failing to recognize him was Captain America. In a world with Captain America, Stark had to be that Stark. This was not only the world of Resident Evil, but also the Marvel Universe.

Resident Evil was dangerous enough, but compared to the Marvel Universe, the two were not even on the same level.

Not to mention anyone else, that purple sweet potato, the Universe Family Planning Director Thanos, existed in this world. With one snap of his fingers, he had wiped out half the life in the universe.

That was still far off. Closer at hand, there was also Hydra, which grew two more heads whenever one was cut off.

"I'm thinking too far ahead. I should get through the immediate crisis first. Zombie Dogs have already started biting people, which means the Raccoon City crisis is about to break out. This..." After finding reports online about mysterious, brutal killers appearing around Raccoon City, Shen Fei immediately understood why Jill and Rebecca had come looking for him earlier.

"Come to think of it, they seem to be with STARS. They aren't police, are they? Forget it. This world stopped being the Resident Evil world I knew a long time ago."

After that, Shen Fei began examining maps of the areas around Raccoon City, as well as gun shops. In Resident Evil, not having a gun was tantamount to courting death. Even though he had the Op-Op Fruit and should be immune to the T-Virus, he did not dare let zombies bite him carelessly.

"Too bad I don't have time to study. Otherwise, I could improve the Op-Op Fruit's abilities." To make better use of the Op-Op Fruit's power, one needed not only personal strength, but also extraordinary knowledge.

Shen Fei could automatically obtain relevant knowledge about objects within the Op-Op Fruit's domain. For example, with glass, he could learn its composition through the Op-Op Fruit. The same was true for medicine and other items.

But acquiring that knowledge was really like reading an instruction manual. If he did not understand it himself, he could not truly comprehend it.

Unlike Devil Fruits designed purely for combat, the Op-Op Fruit's ability was not meant for fighting.

Perhaps because he had gained the Op-Op Fruit and evolved through the T-Virus, Shen Fei had not reached the point of photographic memory, but his memory was much better than before. Before long, he had memorized a rough map of Raccoon City and the locations of several gun shops.

"Xiaofei, someone's here to see you." While Shen Fei studied the map and planned his next move, the nun approached with a blonde little girl who looked eleven or twelve years old and had delicate features.

"Are you okay?" The little girl approached him and asked with concern.

"You are?" Shen Fei asked as he looked at the little girl, who seemed both familiar and unfamiliar.

"This is Sherry," the nun immediately said from the side.

"Sherry? Ah, I remember now. Sorry, my head has been hurting a lot lately, so I can't think properly." Shen Fei said with an embarrassed expression.

"It's okay." The little girl seemed very sensible.

"Sherry Birkin." After chatting for a while, Shen Fei immediately learned who the little girl was, because her father was William Birkin.

The reason Sherry was so close to Shen Fei was that Shen Fei's parents seemed to have been researchers under her father. Since his parents spent most of their time in the research facility and rarely came home, Shen Fei and Sherry had become friends.

After learning who she was, Shen Fei's expression became somewhat complicated. To a certain extent, the Raccoon City crisis had been caused by her parents' research.

Come to think of it, Sherry was also a victim of her parents.

With that thought, Shen Fei could not help but sigh.

"Be careful, Rebecca. Shoot the moment you encounter him." In the outskirts of Raccoon City, in the Arklay Mountains, a member of Beta Team stood beside a stopped train, holding a wanted poster as he carefully instructed Rebecca, who had just been assigned to the team and was carrying out her first mission.

"Yes, Captain." Looking at the contents of the wanted poster, Rebecca's expression changed. She took several deep breaths before calming down and answering solemnly.

The wanted man was named Billy. He had been sentenced to death for brutally murdering twenty-three people.

For Rebecca, who had just graduated from university, this was the kind of person she had never encountered before. Graduating from a prestigious medical school at eighteen, Rebecca truly was a genius.
