Chapter Summaries

Leon watched the Uninfected defeat the Spider Crab and clear the research facility, but Chris and Albert Wesker were nowhere to be found. After Carl Mala teleported the entire island to an unknown location, Leon traveled with the squad to Warp Group headquarters, where Rebecca took him to meet Dr. Sterns; elsewhere, a Mute Man commander prepared to use virus injectors against the ZF Army.

• The Uninfected killed the Spider Crab with ease, and Leon found the opened nutrient pod empty, confirming Chris had already left.
• Leon followed the Uninfected as they cleared the facility, placed teleportation beacons, and reported that the island was ready to move.
• Carl Mala teleported the island and its underground research facility away, then the Uninfected captain led Leon through a portal to Warp Group headquarters.
• Rebecca met Leon at headquarters and told him that Dr. Sterns wanted to give him a full-body examination.
• In a small African country, a Mute Man commander gave a soldier seven virus injectors and ordered him to administer them to frontline troops against the ZF Army.

Excella Gionne and Albert Wesker observed a Uroboros Virus experiment on seven Mute Man soldiers, and Garka became the sole Adapter while the others mutated into monstrous creatures. Wesker captured Garka, but Excella reported that the BSAA was closing in and their underground research facility had gone silent.

• A Mute Man commander sent Garka to give virus injectors to six soldiers, and Garka persuaded them to inject themselves.
• Excella Gionne watched the experiment with Albert Wesker, who explained that he sought an Adapter for the Uroboros Virus and rejected Excella's ambitions to profit from it.
• Six soldiers failed to adapt and transformed into tentacled creatures, while Garka survived and developed golden, slit-pupiled eyes.
• Albert Wesker left to capture Garka and bring him back for research as the six mutated soldiers attacked ZF Army troops.
• Excella Gionne received word that the BSAA was coming and the underground research facility in the Kijuju Autonomous Zone had lost contact.
• Albert Wesker returned with Garka and found Excella Gionne waiting by the cars, where she told him about the BSAA and the silent facility.

Excella Gionne warned Albert Wesker that a mysterious armored man was destroying Tricell’s African experimental bases, and Wesker agreed to hunt him down. In Sokovia, Samuel Stern identified the Progenitor Virus as the missing ingredient for Boss’s second-stage Super Serum, then received two requested medical reports.

• Excella Gionne showed Albert Wesker footage of a mysterious man whose combat suit resisted attacks from Tricell’s experimental creatures and linked him to Ricardo Irving’s abduction and the She-Hound’s death.
• Excella Gionne urged Albert Wesker to protect her remaining bases, and he agreed to find and personally kill the mysterious man.
• Rebecca reported that she had extracted and identified the Progenitor Virus from the Stairway to the Sun, explaining its evolutionary effects and dangerous failure rate.
• Samuel Stern revealed he planned to use a genetic segment of the Progenitor Virus to complete Boss’s second-stage Super Serum, reassuring Rebecca that Boss would not suffer the usual side effects.
• A male researcher delivered two physical examination reports to Samuel Stern on Underground Level 18.

Samuel Stern investigated Jill Valentine and Leon, while Albert Wesker ordered an attack on Wakanda based on intelligence from Excella Gionne. Chris Redfield led a vast corpse tide against the hidden nation, where T'Challa opened the defensive shield and charged into the horde.

• Samuel Stern reviewed Jill Valentine's examination and ordered a closer analysis of Leon's blood after finding his ordinary test results puzzling.
• Excella Gionne told Albert Wesker that Wakanda possessed advanced technology, and Wesker ordered his subordinate to begin an operation without revealing himself.

• W'Kabi evacuated the Border Tribe through Wakanda's concealed shield, revealing the city after the zombies struck its barrier.
• T'Challa ordered a small opening in the shield and led Okoye and Wakandan warriors into battle, cutting a path through the advancing zombies.

Prince T'Challa and Okoye led Wakandan warriors in destroying a zombie horde, then suspected Albert Wesker had targeted Wakanda after learning about it from Ulysses Klaue. Wesker watched the battle and considered how to breach Wakanda's defenses, then ordered a man named Eric Steve brought to him for questioning.

• Prince T'Challa and Okoye led Wakandan warriors in wiping out more than ten thousand zombies attacking the Border Tribe.
• Okoye warned Prince T'Challa that the siege might be connected to their covert operation and proposed strengthening the Border Tribe's defenses; T'Challa agreed to leave Ulysses Klaue's capture to someone else.
• Albert Wesker and Excella Gionne watched footage of the battle and saw Wakanda's energy barrier, advanced technology, and formidable warriors.
• Wesker concluded he needed to breach the barrier before attacking Wakanda, while Excella questioned whether Wakandan medical technology could counter viruses.
• A security guard reported that Eric Steve claimed he could help them find Wakanda, and Wesker ordered him brought to the base for questioning.

Eric Steve offered to help Excella Gionne and Albert Wesker enter Wakanda, revealing that he was a Wakandan royal who wanted to reclaim the throne from King T'Chaka. He explained that he alone could enter Wakanda and planned to challenge T'Chaka under Wakandan law.

• Excella Gionne revealed that Tricell already knew Wakanda's location and had encountered Prince T'Challa and Wakandan warriors.
• Eric Steve argued that Tricell needed his help to penetrate Wakanda's energy barrier and disclosed that S.H.I.E.L.D. and Warp Group had rejected his earlier offers.

• Eric Steve explained that he intended to enter Wakanda and challenge T'Chaka for the throne under Wakanda's ancestral laws.

Eric Steve agreed to help Albert Wesker kill Prince T'Challa in exchange for support against Wakanda, but Wesker implanted a parasite in him to ensure his cooperation. Meanwhile, Tzeentch warned Nurgle to use his virus carefully against the Pantheon, and Nurgle promised a grand gift for the false gods.

• Eric Steve persuaded Excella Gionne to help him capture Ulysses Klaue so he could challenge King T'Chaka and reclaim Wakanda's throne.
• Albert Wesker implanted a parasite in Eric Steve and demanded that he help kill Prince T'Challa, while disavowing interest in Wakanda's Vibranium weapons.

• Excella Gionne questioned Wesker about the parasite, and Wesker said it came from the Plague God's power and could harvest life.
• Tzeentch warned Nurgle to ensure his virus weakened the Pantheon without being detected, and Nurgle promised to give the false gods a grand gift.

Eric Steve entered Wakanda carrying Ulysses Klaue’s corpse and claimed he was a Wakandan royal seeking King T'Chaka. After revealing his identity and demanding the throne, he left the assembled chiefs in shock.

• Eric Steve brought Ulysses Klaue’s corpse to the Border Tribe, where W'Kabi recognized Klaue and questioned his motives.
• Eric Steve proved his Wakandan ties with a royal Vibranium ring and a citizen mark, then passed a Kimoyo Beads scan that failed to detect the parasite in his body.

• N'Jadaka rejected the weeks-long preparations for a formal ceremony and demanded an immediate fair duel with T'Chaka.

Eric Steve fought Prince T'Challa for Wakanda's throne and gained the upper hand, then killed King T'Chaka when he intervened to save his son. The chapter left T'Challa and his family devastated, with Eric Steve poised to claim his revenge.

• King T'Chaka agreed that T'Challa would fight Eric Steve, promising to pass on the throne and Black Panther title according to the outcome.
• Eric Steve and T'Challa met at the waterfall challenge site, where Eric Steve fought with a short blade and a shortened Vibranium spear.
• Eric Steve overwhelmed T'Challa, wounded him, disarmed him, and prepared to kill him.
• King T'Chaka rushed in to block Eric Steve's fatal strike, then offered his own life in place of his son's.

Eric Steve’s rally ended in a zombie outbreak that consumed Wakanda, while Albert Wesker prepared to accelerate the Uroboros Plan after J. Jonah Jameson exposed his attacks across Africa. The chapter left Excella Gionne listening as Jameson accused the BSAA of failing to stop Wesker.

• Eric Steve’s head exploded when Albert Wesker remotely detonated the parasite in his brain, and the resulting poisonous fog turned Okoye and the Dora Milaje into zombies.
• Zombies spread through Wakanda, which fell within two days as its energy barrier trapped most survivors inside.
• Several weeks later, Albert Wesker told Excella Gionne that he had to carry out the Uroboros Plan ahead of schedule.

After The Daily Bugle exposed Albert Wesker and Tricell Pharmaceuticals, Excella Gionne chose to back his desperate plan to spread viruses across the F Continent. As the revelations shook the world, Nick Fury reluctantly agreed to help the BSAA after Alexander Pierce promised to argue for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s budget increase.

• Excella Gionne considered abandoning Albert Wesker, but John Jameson revealed Tricell Pharmaceuticals' role in his experiments and human testing.
• Excella Gionne realized she was implicated and pledged all her resources to Albert Wesker's plan.
• Albert Wesker ordered Excella Gionne to send every virus from Tricell Pharmaceuticals' African research institute and explained he would spread them across the F Continent.
• Nick Fury refused to help the BSAA until Alexander Pierce offered to seek a larger budget for S.H.I.E.L.D.
• Nick Fury reluctantly agreed to provide the BSAA with the biological terrorist's location.

Nick Fury tasked Tony and Dr. Richard with locating Albert Wesker as the BSAA and African Union publicly vowed to capture him, while Thaddeus Ross moved against General Wilson and Tricell. A BSAA raid found that Wesker and Excella Gionne had escaped by C-17, and the chapter left the plane carrying five virus bombs as the rear forces prepared to shoot it down.

• Nick Fury told Maria Hill to have Tony and Dr. Richard search for Albert Wesker after he ended his call with Alexander Pierce.
• The BSAA publicly denied The Daily Bugle’s accusations, claimed it had located Wesker, and requested military support; the African Union also pledged assistance.
• The White House announced that Thaddeus Ross would lead an investigation of General Wilson and Tricell Pharmaceuticals, while Tricell’s executives remained silent.
• A BSAA-led force raided Tricell Pharmaceuticals’ secret base, but its commander learned that Albert Wesker and Excella Gionne had escaped aboard a C-17.
• The BSAA ordered the rear forces to shoot down the C-17, which carried five bombs containing the T Virus, G Virus, and Uroboros Virus.

Albert Wesker released viral bombs over the F Continent, triggering a zombie crisis that devastated most of the continent within seventy hours. As world leaders convened to respond, Alexander Pierce angrily blamed the BSAA while privately fearing the disaster could cost him his position and derail Project Insight.

• Albert Wesker ordered five virus missiles deployed into high-altitude air currents, spreading a deadly plague cloud across the F Continent.
• At Tricell Pharmaceuticals' secret base, most SOU members and local soldiers rapidly became zombies and attacked the uninfected.
• Within seventy hours, at least eighty-five percent of the continent's countries had fallen, prompting the United Nations to conceal the crisis from the public and convene an emergency meeting.
• Alexander Pierce berated the BSAA representative over the catastrophe, while privately worrying about his Security Council chairmanship and Project Insight.
• The frightened BSAA representative apologized and blamed Albert Wesker, insisting that Wesker deserved to die.

At a Security Council meeting about the zombie outbreak on the F Continent, Alexander Pierce pressed the representatives to propose a solution while Nick Fury blamed the BSAA for letting Albert Wesker escape. Gines proposed following S.H.I.E.L.D.’s example during the Battle of New York, then accused S.H.I.E.L.D. of sharing responsibility for the crisis.

• Nick Fury accused the BSAA of failing to capture Albert Wesker and held it responsible for the disaster, while Gines privately recalled leaking the capture plan to Tricell Pharmaceuticals.
• Alexander Pierce demanded that the representatives devise an immediate solution, but they stayed silent to avoid sharing blame.
• Under Pierce’s pressure, Gines suggested resolving the outbreak once and for all by following S.H.I.E.L.D.’s example during the Battle of New York.
• Nick Fury realized Gines meant launching an H-bomb and angrily denied that he had ever supported such a plan.
• Gines argued that S.H.I.E.L.D. had a duty to handle anomalous incidents and challenged Nick Fury over the Uroboros Virus.

Alexander Pierce announced that massive zombie hordes were attacking border checkpoints in Spain and Egypt, prompting calls for military intervention and a permanent solution. Thaddeus Ross proposed a different approach, revealing that Dr. Rebecca Chambers had developed a Universal Vaccine that might help stop the disaster.

• Gines accused Nick Fury of allowing the Uroboros Plan crisis to worsen, and Fury considered having him killed after the meeting.
• Alexander Pierce received a report that enormous zombie hordes were attacking border checkpoints in Spain and Egypt, with mutated B.O.W.s helping break through defenses.
• The conference watched footage of the attacks and feared that Europe and Asia would be exposed if Spain and Egypt fell.
• Gines urged the representatives to eliminate Albert Wesker and called for drastic action, prompting several nations to support joint military intervention.
• Alexander Pierce prepared to approve a military response and a vote on Gines's permanent solution, but Thaddeus Ross interrupted him.
• Ross revealed that Dr. Rebecca Chambers had developed a Universal Vaccine that might help resolve the bioweapon crisis.

Secretary Ross presented evidence that Rebecca Chambers and the Warp Group had developed an airborne Universal Vaccine that reversed many viral infections, prompting shock and hope among the officials. The vaccine could not restore infected people with irreversible mutations, and Ross left the decision to use it—and the Warp Group’s support—to Chairman Pierce and the others.

• Nick Fury and Gines dismissed the Universal Vaccine as impossible, while Alexander Pierce pressed Ross to confirm whether it could end the crisis.
• Ross handed over a USB drive containing experimental data and footage of the vaccine reversing T Virus infections.
• Alexander Pierce watched additional recordings showing the vaccine restoring people infected with the G Virus and Las Plagas, though it could not repair injuries or reverse non-human mutations.
• Ross argued that saving even a small fraction of the infected would be worthwhile, then said the choice and any technical support were not his personal responsibility.

Alexander Pierce secured approval for the Security Council to buy Warp Group’s Universal Vaccine with funds and resource shares from member states. As the Council prepared to notify Zemo of the order, the Uninfected Legion arrived in Wakanda to confront the approaching infected.

• Alexander Pierce contacted Helmut Zemo, who offered either free vaccines in exchange for a globally livestreamed operation or a discounted price of ninety percent of the market rate.
• Alexander Pierce bypassed the free-vaccine option, and Nick Fury objected to Warp Group charging for vaccines but received no support from the other delegates.
• Alexander Pierce proposed funding the purchase through voluntary contributions and payments or resource-company shares from countries with African strategic resources.
• The Security Council approved the purchase, with only Nick Fury and Gines voting against it.
• Two hundred Uninfected Legion recruits arrived through a portal near Wakanda’s city, accompanied by Fourth-Generation Uninfected veterans assigned to lead and train them.
