The thirty-second countdown soon ended, and hundreds of people vanished in an instant, entering the other world connected to the Reincarnation Temple at the same time.
[World type: science fiction] [Energy level: E-rank] [Matched plot: Resident Evil 1] [Danger level: high] [Main mission: survive for two hours! Receive 1,000 points upon completion! Teleport to the Reincarnation Temple!] [Side missions: 1. Receive 1 point for each zombie killed! 2. Receive 200 points for each Zombie Dog killed! 3. Receive 500 points for each Licker killed!] [Randomly selecting item! Obtained Type 54 pistol (unlimited ammunition version)! Placed in storage space!] [Identity replaced with mercenary JD!] [Plot begins!]
The notification tones echoed in his ears.
Xu Long felt a flash before his eyes, and then he appeared in an unfamiliar place.
He was in an enclosed train car. Several mercenaries stood scattered along the sides, while Alice, Spence, and Matt stood on the left, looking utterly bewildered. Three unfamiliar faces stood calmly on the right.
My identity now is the mercenary JD? Not bad, as long as I'm not one of those two unlucky bastards, Matt and Spence!
Xu Long swept his gaze around, taking in the entire situation.
I didn't expect anyone else to choose Resident Evil like I did. I hope you don't cause me any trouble.
Xu Long was thinking when, just as he considered his plans for what came next, a huge mass of memories appeared in his mind out of nowhere.
How to use all kinds of firearms, close-quarters combat, setting traps, identifying poisonous wild plants and animals...
A huge trove of knowledge that could save his life in harsh environments, far more extensive than anything he had learned in school.
If Xu Long had previously been a rookie with nothing but theory, he was now a survival master.
He could handle all kinds of firearms with ease, and he could even operate planes and tanks.
This was all knowledge the mercenary JD had possessed, which Xu Long had gained for free after replacing him.
Fantastic, the benefits are overflowing! If I entered some xianxia world and replaced the leader of a major power, wouldn't I shoot straight into the heavens?
Xu Long was wild with joy, but he soon suppressed his excitement.
This was the train entering the Hive at the start of the plot. The T-virus and serum were hidden on the train car, and what he needed to do now was get his hands on the first benefits.
"Captain, I'll check outside for any hidden dangers."
Xu Long spoke, then opened the train door and stepped out.
The plot of Resident Evil 1 was simple: the Umbrella Corporation had developed the terrifying T-virus, intending to create biological weapons and rule the world.
Umbrella employees Alice and Lisa, Matt's younger sister, wanted to sneak the virus out and use it as evidence to expose the Umbrella Corporation's crimes.
Another Umbrella employee, Spence, who posed as Alice's husband while guarding the Hive's entrance with her, wanted to sell the virus on the black market and fulfill his dream of getting rich.
There was a mishap along the way. Spence deliberately smashed the vial containing the virus, triggering the Hive's artificial intelligence's automatic protection mechanism.
The Hive was sealed off. Alice, Spence, and Matt, who were outside, inhaled a nerve agent and lost their memories, while the more than five hundred researchers inside the Hive became crazed, bloodthirsty zombies.
This is it!
After searching the roof of the train car for some time, Xu Long pulled a safe out of a concealed spot.
There was no need to open it to verify its contents, because the Main God's notification had already sounded in his mind.
[Hidden mission: 1. Obtain the T-virus stock solution! Completed! Received 800 points!] [Hidden mission: 2. Obtain the T-virus Serum! Completed! Received 700 points!]
Not bad, I made 1,500 points right at the start!
Xu Long put the safe into his storage space, so pleased he almost couldn't resist humming a tune.
In a world like Resident Evil, where the death rate was as high as ninety-nine percent, successfully surviving only earned a reward of 1,000 points.
Xu Long had picked up 1,500 right at the start. If the others found out, they would probably die of envy.
With the serum, he had a safeguard. After all, the virus was terrifying; even a slight scrape could lead to infection.
As for the T-virus, Xu Long would never use that stuff unless he was driven into a dead end.
The chance of success was one in ten thousand, and even then, he would become a nonhuman monster like Nemesis, having lost his self-awareness.
Someone like Alice, who had gained tremendous power yet retained her sanity, was one in a hundred million.
After he returned to the car, the train started at once and reached the Hive beneath Raccoon City in less than ten minutes.
Because of the virus leak, the elevator had been shut down, so everyone had to take the stairs.
They encountered no danger or trouble along the way and reached Dining Hall B without obstruction.
"What is this place?"
The captain, Matthew Addison, asked, holding his gun in both hands.
"Dining Hall B!"
Kaplan, the team's computer expert, answered.
"A dining hall?"
Hearing Kaplan's answer, Alice couldn't help asking.
Aside from the freezers, there wasn't even a chair in here. How could it be a dining hall?
"That's what it says on the map!"
Kaplan waved his hands helplessly.
It is a dining hall, all right, but not for humans. It's a dining hall for Lickers.
Xu Long muttered to himself. There were dozens of freezers, holding the same number of Lickers.
Once those monsters got out, everyone present would die.
If Xu Long were the captain, he would definitely plant bombs here and blow the place sky-high after they left.
Unfortunately, he wasn't Matthew Addison, so he could only follow along obediently.
"Tch, a bunch of idiots, wandering around as if nothing's wrong. Let any one of the things in here out, and it'll wipe your whole team."
One of the three reincarnators, a man, muttered disdainfully. In this world set in Rice Country, his authentic Fujian dialect made Xu Long feel a sense of familiarity.
"Brother Bin, same as last time?"
Another man, named Lizi, asked.
"Everything as usual. Don't do anything unnecessary. This world resets every time we enter, but even the slightest mishap could cause unimaginable changes."
After speaking, Brother Bin gave the woman in their group a look.
She understood and immediately moved over, quietly blocking Lizi from view.
Not bad. Looks like the Lickers taught them a lesson; they even know to plant bombs in advance!
Xu Long took in every little move the three made, but he had no intention of exposing them.
He would collect the benefits in peace and bother no one.
Everything proceeded in an orderly manner until they reached the first true death trap in Resident Evil-the laser corridor!
