Asor opened his eyes, cold sweat already soaking his back.
He woke up in this ruins of a laboratory, looking at the piles of instant noodles and canned food, and couldn't help but laugh out loud:
"I'm alive! I'm alive!"
Next to him, Wadon also opened his eyes, "I'm not dead? Even Marco is here."
Only three of them managed to escape here, with Marco being the last one, their bodyguard.
Marco was the strongest superhuman in all survivor camps during the apocalypse: a Sixth Tier Genetic Super Soldier.
His cultivation talent was astonishing, catching up with the Sixth Tier Zombie Lords in just two and a half years.
As for the divisions of realms, back in the Umbrella Corporation's laboratories, biologists had already divided life into several stages.
The first stage, single-celled.
The second stage, possessing a complete soul and a brain with advanced intelligence. On Earth, only humans had evolved to this stage.
The third stage, possessing a perfect body.
The Umbrella's perfect genetic reagent was initially intended to make the brains perfect, conducting genetic optimization for modern humans whose bodies hadn't yet perfectly evolved.
Skipping what could be a long natural evolutionary history of tens of thousands of years for humanity to evolve a perfect body, becoming a Third Stage lifeform.
However, an accident occurred, leading to the zombie apocalypse.
"Is this your time machine?" Wadon was surprised.
"Yes, yes it is."
Asor could only say, "Let's go out and see if we have returned to six hours before the apocalypse."
Wadon was a bit hesitant and scared, fearing encountering a zombie horde as soon as they stepped out.
But after struggling internally, he felt that whether he died sooner or later, death was inevitable, so he followed behind, saying to the side, "Marco, protect us!"
Though it was better than nothing.
They had over a hundred Sixth Tier zombies, while the humans had just one Sixth Tier human; the power gap was massive.
When they stepped out of the underground laboratory and looked at the outside world, they immediately showed astonishment.
Skyscrapers.
Traffic flows.
People coming and going.
"I'm back! I'm back!" Wadon suddenly couldn't help but tear up, bursting into laughter, trembling with excitement.
Only those who had experienced several years of the dreadful apocalypse could understand the beauty of a peaceful era!
He no longer wanted to experience that gray world of despair and tears.
"Is there another me in this space-time?"
Wadon immediately said, "According to this timeline, I'm on a car, heading to a mid-year conference."
"There shouldn't be another you!" Asor said, previously, there wasn't another himself in this space-time either.
Wadon took a deep breath, immediately making calls, and started to do the same as Asor, gathering all human high-level personnel.
"First, we need to take actions similar to last time, making them take extra caution."
Wadon, deserving of being a shrewd, seasoned businessman, immediately discussed:
"Next, we need to hide this room, which is very likely a time machine. If the Zombie Lords find it and destroy it, we won't be able to traverse time anymore."
The Zombie Lords should also have come through with them. They would definitely frantically search for this bizarre anomaly.
"Finally, there's this!"
Wadon took out an ultra-large capacity USB flash drive brought back from the apocalypse.
"What's this?"
Asor knew what this USB was for: the human seed plan, recording humanity's apocalypse history, and leaving it for future generations.
At the very least, after humanity's extinction, they wouldn't be completely erased from history.
"It records the process of the apocalypse outbreak and various changes; edit it and upload it directly!" Wadon slowly said.
Asor widened his eyes, "You're crazy! Inside, there's your dark history, you wealthy people, you were the cause of the apocalypse outbreak, if it's broadcast..."
"Remember, the people have the right to know the truth!" Wadon said, "Only then can they respond perfectly."
Capitalists prioritize interests above all.
They could even sell the rope to hang themselves; a stained reputation didn't bother him!
In these years, haven't there been enough scandals made public and insults hurled by the people?
The public scolding him wouldn't cost the capitalists a penny.
If not sufficiently heartless and afraid of infamy, how can one make a living?
A tainted reputation, once spread, he was confident he could withdraw unscathed, go into hiding, and start anew as a capable man.
At this moment, perhaps only this profit-driven capitalist could detach emotionally and make the most rational decision.
"This is the best way; nothing is more vivid than images," Wadon said, "Time is running out, let's have a meeting; you handle the editing!"
"Yes!"
"The apocalypse is less than six hours away, hurry up!"
...
Li Qing returned to work at the mental hospital.
Suddenly, many of the hospital's medical staff went into an uproar.
They received an emergency alert and a movie video link to "Human Apocalypse: Umbrella Corporation's Outbreak."
???
Li Qing opened it, his expression becoming peculiar.
It's definitely you.
Movie fanatic Wadon.
Showing a movie a few hours before the apocalypse outbreak?
The Wadon of this parallel world not only led a team to develop the "Crystal Seed" plan, but even the movie screening approach was identical.
...
In the advanced ward.
Susan was sitting next to Li Wanning's room, "Special wartime alert, everyone should shelter in place and turn on their TV? What is this, why so sudden?"
Wadon's influence wasn't something Asor, a scientist, could compare to.
The last time, high-level personnel were dubious and vaguely instructed people to conduct emergency drills; now, Wadon took direct, decisive actions implementing measures.
And disclosed all the truth.
"Let's watch together."
Susan turned on the TV in the ward and watched with Li Wanning.
The movie was very concise, with a text introduction at the beginning:
[A virus leak at the Umbrella Corporation near Phoenix City, the apocalypse arrives, outbreak at 5:27:18 PM.]
Next, they directly entered the main content, witnessing the apocalypse outbreak, with countless people screaming.
The zombie horde attacking everyone.
The cries of terror, the bloody scenes, the rapid response and fortification of survivor camps by the military.
And every character in it acted very realistically.
When the apocalypse broke out, humanity's response measures were timely, quickly stopping resistance and starting to counterattack and eliminate the zombie horde.
And the zombies conveniently spread out in each room, dispersing their forces, allowing humans to defeat them piecemeal.
"Looks like these zombies aren't much of a threat!"
"But a movie is still a movie; in reality, our country's ability to act wouldn't be that strong, a viral leak might be hidden, how could they immediately enforce an alert?"
Susan was about to critique the typical American heroism style of the apocalypse movie when she saw a soul-stirring scene:
"How is this possible! In the movie's council, I saw those old guys from the Keller Clan, Koben Clan, and Nunes Clan, along with the President! And even their meetings!"
Susan was completely stunned!
Absolutely stunned!
What's going on?
Was this movie made so brutally?
Aren't they afraid of getting shot ten times from behind and then ruled a suicide?
For those at such levels, Susan's family didn't even count as a wealthy household, it could be crushed with one foot.
But the plot took a sudden turn, the overwhelming advantage disappeared.
As people's sweeping operations continued, some infected zombies suddenly awakened, transforming into terrifying Super Zombie Lords, with over a hundred, each rivaling a modernized army, scaling walls and flying.
"Damn, what is that thing?"
"Illusion, it can create illusions!"
"This one here, what speed, unbelievably fast?"
Humanity quickly fell to one side, retreating step by step, curling up.
In the next few years of the entire apocalypse, clips flashed by showing survivor camps being continuously bombed.
Each Zombie Lord carried with them a terrifying shadow, oppressing humanity from above.
Some were towering giants, others obese mountains of flesh, or slender dwarves, but undoubtedly, their hundreds of imposing, overwhelming presence was awe-inspiring.
They stood atop buildings, overlooking the survivor camps below, appearing as Apocalyptic Monarchs, gazing down at their humble slaves.
The entire film was intense, with amazing quality.
Scenes of grandeur, heroism, and bloodshed were depicted as if they were real.
There was no need for lengthy dialogue, the oppressive presence of these monsters, each responsible for killing tens of thousands of human troops, brought a suffocating threat.
Even through the movie screen, it was suffocating.
"But, this movie..." Susan had a thought that terrified her, could the entire country airing this disaster film mean it's real?
