Chapter 993: Chapter 921 Umbrella Corporation

Chapter 993 -921 Umbrella Corporation

Not just this cinema, but several others across the continents of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao had arranged premieres for “Resident Evil”!

Swish.

The curtains drew open.

Against a red background, the sound of keystrokes suddenly filled the air, and lines of text appeared on the screen:

[Confidential Report]

[Subject: Raccoon City Incident]

At that moment, a voiceover began, accompanying the sound of typing:

[The Umbrella Corporation is one of America’s largest suppliers of computer technology, healthcare products, and medical equipment, yet even many of the company’s employees are unaware that its main profit comes from genetic experiments and bioweapons…]

Introduction complete.

The screen then displayed the interlaced red and white logo of what is presumably called the “Umbrella Corporation.”

Afterwards.

The red letters “Resident Evil” appeared on the screen.

Tu Zheng casually jotted down a few keywords in his notebook: “Umbrella Corporation, genetic experiments, bioweapons…”

America.

Raccoon City.

No one paid attention to this.

Obviously, they were fictional countries and cities created for the movie.

Next to him, Jia Haoren didn’t write anything, but his expression showed some surprise:

Could it be that Xian Yu intends to use science to explain the origin of zombies this time?

Without time to think.

The first act of the movie had already begun.

It was a high-tech laboratory that was evidently expensive to construct.

Various pieces of advanced laboratory equipment filled the room, clearly a scene built with a large budget.

A person, wrapped tightly and wearing a mask, was handling a robotic arm through glass, extracting several vials of mysterious solution.

Some solutions were blue.

Some solutions were green.

But when this person placed the vials into an automated safe, he took out a single blue vial and tossed it away.

Crash.

The blue vial shattered.

In the shot, the solution seemed to evaporate into the air.

Suddenly.

The camera locked onto the broken vial, and a disaster warning was issued.

Boom, boom, boom!

An alarm blared!

Employees throughout the company were startled.

Some thought it was a fire drill until the entire company was sealed shut, and no one could leave. That’s when everyone realized something was wrong!

The next moment.

Darkness fell!

An elevator went out of control!

One by one, people started dying!

One woman’s head got trapped on the outside.

Suddenly the elevator moved upward, her neck precisely at the level of the elevator opening.

Ahhh!

It was unclear whether the scream came from within the movie or from the shocked audience in the theater, but the screen abruptly went black!

…

Inside the cinema.

Hearts raced among the audience!

“Damn!”

“That scared me to death!”

“The woman’s head must have fallen off!”

“With that force, her head’s definitely gone, for sure!”

“What on earth is going on, why did this company suddenly become a disaster site?”

“It must be related to that shattered blue vial!”

“This Umbrella Corporation specializes in genetics and biochemical research; the broken blue vial must signify a virus leak!”

“Does that mean someone is secretly monitoring all this, someone who didn’t want the virus to get out, so they’ve sealed off the whole area and are now trying to kill everyone inside?”

“This movie is pretty interesting.”

“That lab looks very high-tech, not like some movies where the top tech companies have a most critical lab with no sense of technology at all.”

…

Swish, swish, swish!

The audience was almost instantly captivated!

Meanwhile.

In the sixth row of seats.

Tu Zheng raised an eyebrow and said, “A very successful suspenseful opening.”

Jia Haoren nodded, “The thrill is very well depicted. When the woman’s head was stuck outside the elevator, it instantly grabbed the attention of the fearful audience, because everyone knows from the usual tropes that there’s definitely a big problem with the elevator; even if it’s a cliché, it still delivers a strong sense of horror.”

The movie began with several mysteries!

What exactly was that shattered blue vial?

Why did the company descend into chaos the moment the blue vial broke?

Was someone controlling all this?

…

At this moment,

the film scene shifted.

In a white bathtub, a woman with a beautiful figure, yet unclothed, woke up, a curtain concealing her vital parts.

At this instant,

the audience inwardly commented,

“Cameraman, you’ve lost your drumstick!”

This character was played by Xia Fan as the female lead.

After waking up, she faintly remembered fainting while taking a bath.

Dressed in red, she walked out of the room.

Suddenly a man appeared and quickly started pulling her to escape.

In her involuntary cry of surprise, someone threw a flashbang grenade through the window.

The next moment,

the music surged with excitement!

A group of armed personnel, weapons at the ready, entered!

The man was subdued, and the leader of the armed personnel, staring at the woman in red amid the howling night wind, said,

“Report to me!”

The woman, bewildered, “What?”

The armed leader spoke with a hoarse male voice, “I need your report, what has happened here?”

The woman replied, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about…”

At that moment, one of the armed personnel spoke up, “Sir, upon investigation, the facility’s main defense system has been activated, she may still be under the influence of side effects.”

“Take them.”

“Enter the research facility.”

The armed leader removed his mask to give the orders.

Instantly,

everyone entered the elevator.

However, what no one expected was:

After the elevator started, a man was hidden in a locked compartment of the train car.

The woman in red, seeing the ring on the man’s hand, had several images flash through her mind:

She was marrying the man, along with scenes of them in bed.

…

Inside the movie theater.

Without getting any answers,

the audience’s confusion only grew,

“Who is the woman in red played by Xia Fan?”

“Who is this man who suddenly appeared?”

“Could he be the woman in red’s husband, as the female lead’s memories suggest they might be married?”

“They must be married, they’ve been in bed together.”

“Then why do they seem not to recognize each other?”

“Earlier on, it was mentioned that there are side effects to activating the defense system, could the side effects be amnesia?”

“What about this group of armed personnel who look so formidable, where do they come from?”

Suspense!

The film had been playing for over ten minutes, yet the audience was enveloped in a suspenseful atmosphere, their thoughts subconsciously drawn along by the plot.

Tu Zheng and Jia Haoren communicated,

“This suspense is packed really tightly.”

“Entering the lab should reveal some of the mysteries.”

“The opening rhythm is excellent; it captivates the audience instantly.”

“We’re not simply spectators here.”

Jia Haoren reminded him, then continued watching the film.

…

Tu Zheng and Jia Haoren were not wrong.

About twenty minutes into the film, as the group entered the research facility,

the leader of the armed personnel slowly revealed the truth upon the persistent questions of the woman in red, also explaining the opening mysteries of the movie:

It turned out that these people were armed personnel hired by the Umbrella Corporation.

The company that encountered problems at the beginning of the movie was actually a top-secret underground research facility hidden in Racoon City, owned and overseen by the Umbrella Corporation!

The female lead was the security supervisor in charge of guarding the passageways of the research facility.

As for the reason behind their memory loss, it was due to the inhalation of a toxic gas, a result of the research facility’s defense mechanisms.

And the purpose of this armed squad was to shut down the Red Queen!

The so-called Red Queen was the research facility’s intelligent mainframe, and also the world’s most advanced intelligent mainframe!

Inside the research facility.

Over five hundred employees may have all perished.

And the chief culprit behind all this was the research facility’s intelligent mainframe, the Red Queen!

“The battle between humans and intelligence…”

Jia Haoren was in the middle of speaking when suddenly his heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the screen in horror,

“Damn!”

At the same time.

Next to him, Jia Haoren, as well as all the audience members in the theater, involuntarily shuddered at the image suddenly appearing on the screen!

A body of a woman in a pool of water

suddenly opened her eyes!
