"Sir, new features have appeared in the Psychic Energy curve. It seems our interference has produced some unexpected changes."
In the Zombie Universe, Osborn Group soldiers were "screening" the zombies. Their main goal was to select those whose bodies were still sufficiently intact to be saved, who had no criminal records before death, especially those who had upheld their principles during the apocalypse according to their limited records.
By gathering residual data from government systems around the world and surveillance equipment left behind by S.H.I.E.L.D., the Osborn Group could even reconstruct the entire apocalypse within its supercomputers. It could precisely identify the actions of over 50% of the world's population during the week following the outbreak of the zombie virus, thereby screening those people.

It was simply that those who had upheld their principles even during the apocalypse clearly possessed stronger willpower and initiative. Even if they lacked impressive academic credentials or outstanding work achievements—
Skills could be trained, but cultivating those qualities was far more difficult than teaching professional knowledge. Since they were recruiting employees, naturally they would prioritize those with the best value.
The people who were rescued were generally bewildered. They needed time to adapt to what had happened to them. Afterward, they would receive psychological counseling and education from the Osborn Group before gradually beginning new lives.
Some people also chose not to join the company. As Steve had imagined, they could go and "pursue freedom," though few still chose that path after learning about the current situation.
For the company, as more and more people chose to join the Osborn Group, Psychic Energy became increasingly able to adapt to this universe.
