Chapter Summaries

Green Arrow Duck, Alice, Jill Valentine, and Ada Wong searched the laboratory for research data and learned that the offline host might be part of the shut-down Artificial Intelligence’s server cluster. They headed toward its mainframe, where Green Arrow Duck demolished the laser-trapped passage and cleared their way forward.

• Ada Wong searched the laboratory computer while Green Arrow Duck explained that the research files were on an unreachable host, possibly offline because the Artificial Intelligence had been shut down.
• Alice agreed that restarting the Artificial Intelligence might reveal more information, and Ada Wong reported that the laboratory inventory listed virus samples and Antiviral Serum that were no longer there.
• The group descended to the lowest level, where Alice warned them that high-energy laser beams guarded the passage to the Artificial Intelligence’s mainframe.
• Green Arrow Duck used sticky bombs, missiles, and a torn-off iron door to destroy the laser defenses and clear the passage.
• Green Arrow Duck explained that dismantling the trap was safer than risking the group against it, while Alice reacted with surprise at his heavy firepower.

Green Arrow Duck examined the damaged Red Queen computer and found a way to reach the still-running servers directly. When he connected to one, the Red Queen tried to identify him, revealing that she remained active but had reduced processing power.

• The group entered the server room, where Alice identified the central machine as the Red Queen’s main computer and admitted she did not know how to operate its attached device.
• Green Arrow Duck explained that removing the hundreds of hard drives would be impractical and inspected the electromagnetic pulse device and burned-out computer.
• Green Arrow Duck used his X-ray vision to determine that the damaged computer isolated the server network, so he decided to connect directly to the servers.
• Green Arrow Duck connected to a computer through the Duck Leopard armor-Duck Type, and the Red Queen disrupted its systems and asked, “Who... are... you?”
• Green Arrow Duck realized the servers were still running and that the Red Queen had survived, though the damage to the central computer had weakened her processing speed.

Green Arrow Duck sought Tony Stark’s help to access Umbrella Corporation’s servers and secure the virus research data before the Red Queen could sabotage it. After learning that a zombie outbreak had begun in Raccoon City and that the city was cut off, Tony decided to investigate for himself.

• Green Arrow Duck defended his systems against the Red Queen while planning to copy the Hive Base’s data and asking Mei to seek JARVIS’s help.
• JARVIS woke Tony Stark and explained that Mei wanted help hacking Umbrella’s servers to retrieve virus research data.
• Tony watched surveillance footage of the undead attacking people and learned that it came from Raccoon City nine hours earlier.
• JARVIS told Tony that the Vampire Virus had leaked and that the military had restricted communications with Raccoon City.
• Tony tried accessing the city’s surveillance system, confirmed that communications were blocked, and prepared to investigate using his resources.

Tony Stark connected JARVIS to Raccoon City’s surveillance feeds and joined Mei’s attempt to infiltrate Umbrella Corporation’s Hive servers. After discovering the Cleansing Plan, he launched an all-out attack with Jocasta and Tadashi, while Mei’s team secured the crucial virus and Antiviral Serum research data.

• Tony Stark had JARVIS bypass Raccoon City’s network blockade and search live traffic feeds, which showed Zombies attacking people and animals.
• Tony Stark learned that Mei was infiltrating Umbrella Corporation’s Hive and connected JARVIS to the link she had provided.
• Tony Stark read the Cleansing Plan, then ordered JARVIS to wake Jocasta and Tadashi and commit their supercomputer resources to attacking the Hive servers.
• JARVIS, Jocasta, and Tadashi overwhelmed the server connection, forcing Bonnie to redistribute its resources and leaving Green Arrow Duck immobilized in the Duck Leopard armor-Duck Type.
• Mei reported that the attack had accelerated the data copying, and the Duck Leopard armor-Duck Type already held Umbrella’s key virus and Antiviral Serum research data.

Green Arrow Duck recovered after helping steal and erase the Umbrella Hive Base’s server data, including key virus and Antiviral Serum research. He warned Alice and Ada Wong that the evidence he had gathered might cause a public relations crisis but would not necessarily force Umbrella to shut down.

• Alice, Jill Valentine, and Ada Wong worried that Red Queen had taken control of the motionless Green Arrow Duck and raised their guns to prepare for the worst.
• Green Arrow Duck recovered, rebooted his armor, and explained that its outdated systems had been overwhelmed while routing data from the Hive Base.
• Green Arrow Duck revealed that Tony Stark’s three AIs had copied and deleted the Hive Base data, leaving its hard drives formatted.
• Green Arrow Duck told Alice and Ada Wong that he had secured research on the T-virus and Antiviral Serum, Umbrella’s facilities and strategy, and Red Queen’s design, source code, and database.
• Green Arrow Duck explained that even evidence of serious crimes might not close Umbrella, which could survive by changing its leadership or finding new investors unless it went bankrupt.

Green Arrow Duck explained his plans for Umbrella Corporation’s stolen files and the Antiviral Serum, then turned to the urgent crisis in Raccoon City. He proposed involving Spider-Man to solve the problem of distributing the antidote and led the group toward an exit from the Hive Base.

• Green Arrow Duck said Tony Stark had received Umbrella Corporation’s files, but he could not predict whether Tony would use them against Umbrella or protect the company.
• Green Arrow Duck said he had obtained the Antiviral Serum and warned that its injection-only delivery could not keep pace with a virus spreading through air and water.
• Green Arrow Duck named Spider-Man as the virology expert who might improve the antidote, though Jill Valentine doubted Spider-Man could handle a virus.
• Green Arrow Duck urged Alice, Ada Wong, and Jill Valentine to leave the underground base and meet the others.
• Ada Wong described entering through a cargo passage where zombies in protective suits had gathered, and Green Arrow Duck connected the outbreak to Umbrella’s deliberate failures.

As the group left the Hive Base, Dr. Charles Ashford called and offered to testify against Umbrella if they rescued his daughter, Angela. Jill, Alice, Ada, and Green Arrow Duck agreed to head for Raccoon City Elementary School, though Green Arrow Duck insisted the rescue must not distract him from making the antidote.

• Green Arrow Duck suggested the group leave through the mansion and take the abandoned vehicles in its courtyard.
• Phones rang as the group entered the mansion, and Green Arrow Duck began tracing the call while Alice answered it.
• Dr. Charles Ashford asked them to rescue his twelve-year-old daughter, Angela, who was hiding at Raccoon City Elementary School.
• Jill Valentine secured Ashford's promise to testify against Umbrella if Angela was returned safely.
• Alice and Ada joined Jill's rescue mission, and Green Arrow Duck agreed to help while emphasizing his priority was creating the antidote.

Jill Valentine and Ada Wong entered Raccoon City Elementary School to search for Angela Ashford while Green Arrow Duck and Alice stayed outside to face the approaching Nemesis. The confrontation began with Alice charging Nemesis as Green Arrow Duck maneuvered to evade its gunfire.

• Green Arrow Duck detected Nemesis approaching the school and warned the group that they had walked into its path.
• Green Arrow Duck sent Jill Valentine and Ada Wong inside to search classrooms 207 through 209 for Angela Ashford, warning them about the Zombies inside.
• Alice chose to remain outside with Green Arrow Duck, sensing a familiar presence in the darkness.
• Nemesis stopped nearby, and Alice ran toward it barehanded as it opened fire with a Rotary Gatling Cannon.
• Green Arrow Duck used the Micro-hover System to glide in another direction while Nemesis's gunfire chased Alice.

Green Arrow Duck and Alice battled Nemesis, whose armor and rapid regeneration made it difficult to injure. After Nemesis transformed and broke free of its controller, Green Arrow Duck disabled its minigun and prepared to exploit its uncontrolled regeneration while Alice helped keep it off balance.

• Green Arrow Duck attacked Nemesis with the Duck Butt’s machine gun while Alice fired her shotgun at its exposed head, but neither attack dealt lasting damage.
• Nemesis’s controller redirected its minigun at Alice and aimed its rocket launcher at Green Arrow Duck, who dodged the rockets and cut through Nemesis’s arm and launcher with an Adamantium blade.
• Nemesis broke free of its controller’s forced control, and Alice leapt onto its shoulders to shoot it at point-blank range before it flung her away and regenerated with a distorted head and clawed tentacle arm.
• Green Arrow Duck concluded that Nemesis’s uncontrolled regeneration could be exploited or overwhelmed, sent a rally signal, and used his remaining Multi-Directional Combat Rounds to destroy its minigun.
• Nemesis discarded the ruined weapon and charged Green Arrow Duck, who dodged its punch as Alice struck it with a flying kick and made it stagger.

Alice recognized Nemesis as Matt Addison and fought him while Green Arrow Duck tested whether his severed arm could be destroyed. After Green Arrow Duck rescued Alice and coordinated a bombardment, Nemesis was obliterated, ending the Umbrella Corporation's Nemesis Project.

• A resonance led Alice to recognize Nemesis as Matt Addison, her former companion, and she fought him hand to hand despite his superior mutated attacks.
• Green Arrow Duck used high-voltage electricity to destroy Nemesis's severed arm and confirmed that the monster could be killed.
• Green Arrow Duck called Alice away from Nemesis and took control of the arriving Mecha to prepare a coordinated bombardment.
• When Nemesis's tentacles trapped Alice's leg, Green Arrow Duck cut her free and carried her out of danger behind an Isu Shield.
• The Mecha bombarded Nemesis until only a crater remained, and a final salvo destroyed the leftover tentacles.

Green Arrow Duck and Alice confirmed that Nemesis had been destroyed, and Green Arrow Duck explained the planned airborne antidote and invited Alice to help test it. They headed to the temporary base after Jill Valentine and Ada Wong emerged from the school with the doctor’s daughter.

• Green Arrow Duck confirmed that Nemesis was gone and explained that the other Mecha had returned to the temporary base to support evacuations and communications.
• Alice worried that Umbrella Corporation might have turned her into a monster, and Green Arrow Duck offered to test her blood for signs of infection.
• Green Arrow Duck explained that an antidote could be dispersed through air and water, killing the virus in early-stage infections but not restoring those already turned into zombies.
• Alice offered to help develop the antidote, and Green Arrow Duck agreed to discuss it at the temporary base.
• Green Arrow Duck and Alice saw Jill Valentine and Ada Wong leave the school with the doctor’s daughter.

Green Arrow Duck and his companions returned to the temporary U.S. military base, where Ada Wong tried to learn more about his past. At the expanded checkpoint, a soldier demanded that he remove his mascot suit, and he learned that one of the X-Men had been bitten by a zombie.

• Ada Wong questioned Green Arrow Duck about the biological weapon that had attacked his group, but he refused to reveal more about himself.
• Green Arrow Duck and his companions reached the military cordon and left their vehicles to enter on foot.
• The soldiers inspected arrivals for zombie bites, and a noncommissioned officer ordered Green Arrow Duck to remove his mascot suit.
• Green Arrow Duck invoked his connection to the X-Men, but the officer said one of them had been bitten and that the group had entered only by special exception.

Green Arrow Duck entered the evacuation cordon with Jill Valentine and encountered a man turning into a zombie, whom he captured to use in antidote research. After refusing to comfort the man's daughter, he shocked an older man who tried to bribe him into taking him out of Raccoon City.

• The Bullhead Mecha persuaded the female NCO to let Green Arrow Duck pass the inspection checkpoint.
• Peyton Wells told Jill Valentine that the U.S. military had blocked the roads out of Raccoon City because of the biohazard outbreak.
• Green Arrow Duck stopped a newly transformed zombie from biting his daughter and insisted on keeping him alive as a test subject for antidote research.
• Peyton Wells took the daughter away, while Jill Valentine followed Green Arrow Duck and challenged him for treating the girl harshly.
• An older man offered Green Arrow Duck money for a ride out of the city, and Green Arrow Duck shocked him with his armor before dismissing him.

Green Arrow Duck and Bullhead used their electric shock functions to drive off people who tried to stir up trouble or demand seats on the X-Jet. They reached the stairwell with a zombie, followed by Jill Valentine, who intended to watch them deal with the outbreak and confront Umbrella.

• Green Arrow Duck identified a man accusing the group of spreading the virus and shocked him repeatedly while explaining the function to Bullhead.
• Bullhead tried the electric shock function on a redneck, who recoiled and collapsed from the shock.
• Jill Valentine warned Green Arrow Duck that the man he was shocking looked close to death, and Green Arrow Duck stopped after admitting he had overdone it.
• Green Arrow Duck shocked another agitator hiding behind him, then he and Bullhead continued forward as the crowd and soldiers gave way.
• Green Arrow Duck reached the stairwell carrying a struggling zombie and asked why his companions had followed.
• Jill Valentine said she would watch to see whether they resolved the disaster or fled, and whether Green Arrow Duck truly intended to take on Umbrella.

Green Arrow Duck brought Alice and a newly turned zombie back to the rooftop, where he began synthesizing an Antiviral Serum from Umbrella’s research. The group prepared to test whether it could save the zombie as Betty Ross and Gwen Stacy joined the rooftop effort.

• Green Arrow Duck carried Alice up the stairwell while Jill Valentine and Ada Wong began climbing with Angela Ashford.
• Green Arrow Duck and Bullhead found soldiers and scientists working on the rooftop with Jean Grey, Betty Ross, and Gwen Stacy.
• Green Arrow Duck handed the recently turned zombie to Bullhead to restrain gently while he prepared the Antiviral Serum.
• Green Arrow Duck started the bioreactor, which was expected to finish synthesizing the serum in twenty minutes.
• Betty Ross introduced herself and Gwen Stacy to Green Arrow Duck, who greeted her without shaking her hand.

Green Arrow Duck led the X-Men to Rogue, who appeared to have a viral infection, and revealed that Umbrella had secretly experimented on Alice and Matt Addison. He suggested Rogue might have absorbed something from a zombie through her mutant ability, leaving Professor X and the others awaiting an explanation.

• Jean Grey questioned Green Arrow Duck about Henry Brown, but he denied knowing him, and Gwen Stacy explained that she and her friends were searching for a mutual acquaintance.
• Jean Grey led Green Arrow Duck and Alice Abernathy to the Blackbird Jet, where Rogue was being treated for apparent viral symptoms.
• Alice said Rogue did not seem infected, and Green Arrow Duck revealed that Umbrella had used Alice and Matt Addison as experimental subjects and implanted surveillance devices in them.
• Green Arrow Duck directed Alice to the Umbrella files on a computer, and she hurried to read them.
• Green Arrow Duck suggested Rogue could have acquired more than mutant abilities through skin contact, and Professor X recalled that her power first manifested during her first kiss.

Green Arrow Duck proposed that Rogue’s viral symptoms might be overwritten by another mutant ability, and Siryn tried touching her but collapsed without helping her. Green Arrow Duck then tested Rogue’s power himself and discovered that touching her bare hand caused no effect.

• Green Arrow Duck suggested that Rogue might have contracted an airborne virus and proposed using another mutant ability to overwrite her current one.
• Siryn volunteered to touch Rogue, and Jean Grey agreed to stop the contact if anything went wrong.
• Rogue’s ability drained Siryn during their contact, leaving Siryn unconscious after Jean Grey pulled them apart; Rogue’s condition remained unchanged.
• Green Arrow Duck considered whether Siryn’s ability was too weak or their contact too brief, but hesitated to suggest another test.
• Green Arrow Duck removed his wrist armor and touched Rogue’s hand, then held and shook it without feeling pain or being drained.

Green Arrow Duck confirmed Rogue’s condition had improved and tested the Antiviral Serum on a recently turned zombie, restoring the man’s consciousness. He learned the serum would need more research before it could be used in the Canary Device, then discovered Spider-Man had not returned because Bonnie had muted his communications.

• Green Arrow Duck noticed Rogue’s symptoms and medical readings had returned to normal, though she remained unconscious.
• Green Arrow Duck injected a recently turned zombie with the Antiviral Serum, and the man’s struggles stopped as his eyes cleared.
• Green Arrow Duck explained that the serum worked but might not save zombies whose organs had already failed, and that the spray method needed further research.
• Bullhead realized Green Arrow Duck had tried to save the zombie man without promising his daughter he could do so, and Green Arrow Duck explained his reasoning.
• Green Arrow Duck asked where Spider-Man was, and Bonnie explained she had muted him after he repeatedly reported everything over the communications channel.

Green Arrow Duck helped Jill Valentine and Ada Wong contact Dr. Ashford and discuss how to bring down Umbrella Corporation. He then reconnected with Spider-Man, who reported that nearly a thousand zombies were approaching the civilians’ shelter, leaving Green Arrow Duck reluctant to intervene.

• Jill Valentine asked Green Arrow Duck about the chained man, and he explained that the antiviral serum had killed the virus but left the man comatose.
• Ada Wong asked whether Dr. Ashford knew they had rescued Angela Ashford, and Green Arrow Duck explained that they could not reach him through ordinary means.
• Green Arrow Duck hacked into Dr. Ashford’s laptop and opened a video call, allowing Jill Valentine to show him Angela and discuss plans against Umbrella Corporation with Ada Wong.
• Green Arrow Duck asked Thena to restore communications with Spider-Man, who called for help against a huge group of zombies approaching the civilians’ shelter.
• Green Arrow Duck used Spider-Man’s transmission location to view the zombie horde on a satellite feed and saw that it filled a street with nearly a thousand zombies.

Green Arrow Duck learned from Spider-Man that someone was steering a large zombie horde toward the temporary base and planned to let the military prepare a defensive line. He left Spider-Man watching the approaching horde and coordinated the response while continuing the effort to develop an antiviral serum.

• Green Arrow Duck told Spider-Man to return after explaining that modern troops could handle the zombies and that the priority was developing an Antiviral Serum.
• Green Arrow Duck decided to let the zombies approach the base and planned to destroy the gathered horde from prepared defensive positions.
• Green Arrow Duck met Betty Ross, Gwen Stacy, Jean Grey, and Rogue while they examined a man whose condition had improved after receiving the serum.
• Green Arrow Duck informed Betty Ross that someone was directing nearly a thousand zombies toward their position and showed her the horde's route and planned defensive line.
• Betty Ross sent a soldier to relay the intel to Lieutenant Colonel Spaar, while Green Arrow Duck left the military and mutants to choose their own strategies.
