Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 500 Seizing the Original Liquid
"The mission in that world is no longer a concern... The entire team was mobilized to ensure the T-virus solution's safety. Otherwise, they could have ended the entire series on their own," Mu Xiang said. "On the contrary, the next horror film is what I'm most concerned about."

Zhang Heng scratched his head and asked, "What's the next horror movie again?"

"Mechanical Dragon..." Mu Xiang looked at Zhang Heng, "It's a pretty old mecha movie. Pacific Rim borrowed a lot from it."

“Pacific Rim?” Zhang Heng was taken aback. “Oh, you mean that mecha movie that came out in July? But I haven’t seen it.”

Mu Xiang smiled and said, "If you want to see it, you can go back to your real world and take a look... Even Zheng Zha and the others can't redeem this movie, after all, they're from different eras."

"Never mind, never mind..." Zhang Heng suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and shook his head repeatedly, seemingly lost in thought.

Zhang Jie poured the last bit of wine into his glass, took a sip, and said, "I've seen this movie, but I don't think it will be too difficult."

The tyrant sitting on the other side sneered repeatedly, but his sneers were directed at the movie itself. He shook his head and remained silent.

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "It's strange because it seems like it won't be difficult... The humans in this movie no longer wage war, but resolve international disputes through mecha battles. It's not even a large-scale battlefield horror movie, so why was it arranged for us?"

Zheng Zha couldn't help but complain, "Isn't 'Halloween' the same? Well, at least they have the Polar Day Society doing experiments there, so it's an old friend."

“This is even stranger.” Mu Xiang shrugged. “The movie itself didn’t explain the world-building much, and the ending was the classic dumpling-making scene. It’s really hard to deduce anything… Maybe the difficulty is hidden behind this? But if they dig out a saint as the boss from a mecha movie, I’ll really start cursing.”

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Although the words sounded very strange, if the Central Continent Team were to be challenged, it would probably have to be an enemy of intermediate level four or higher.

Zhang Jie almost choked. He coughed a few times before saying, "Damn it, the Supreme God wouldn't be so shameless, would he?"

"Of course, the difficulty may not lie in the battle; there may be other tasks as well." Mu Xiang shook his head. "You know, we are now the strongest team in the Main God Space, and there will definitely be extraordinary tasks assigned to us. So we still can't relax too much. Everyone, try to improve your attributes as much as possible."

After dinner, everyone dispersed. Both groups went back to watch horror movies, and considering the time left, they could finally rest. The next day, the entire Central Continent team returned to Resident Evil 2, but due to their previous return, Resident Evil 3 had already been dealt with.

To Mu Xiang's dismay, the main god still gave them something to do... Although the previous team had already included the Umbrella headquarters in their exploration scope and solved the problem of "Resident Evil 3", they still received extra mission prompts after they started to take action.

Stealing the T-virus source solution was originally just an A-level side quest with 15000 reward points... Although the main god didn't forcibly reduce the reward because of Mu Xiang and the others' participation, it did increase the difficulty. The mechanism of randomly splitting the reward remained unchanged; in other words, only three members of the Central Continent team could obtain the B-level side quest and 5000 reward points, which was really nothing for the Central Continent team.

The increased difficulty stems from the Umbrella Corporation's higher level of security... Perhaps due to the destruction of the cloning base, the security at headquarters has also increased significantly. According to the main god, if the T-virus source solution, along with other core data, is self-destructed in an emergency, and the mission cannot be completed within the stipulated time, everyone will have their side quest and reward points deducted.

However, how could Mu Xiang be held back by this... The overwhelming telekinetic power isolated the Umbrella Corporation's headquarters, while the mental shock released by the two mental controllers forcibly broke through the mental barrier set up by the main god, turning all the troops in the headquarters into cripples.

Afterwards, Mu Xiang led Zhao Yingkong into the place where the T-virus stock solution was stored and swept all the stock solution away.

After the mission was completed, the headquarters, along with its underground section, was uprooted and thrown off Earth by Mu Xiang. "The Main God warned us during our operation that there would be punishment if key plot characters died... So why do you think we didn't involve them in our operation, yet we were warned about this?" Mu Xiang said. "Based on the Umbrella Corporation's reaction, we can infer that the company obtained some intelligence, but they misunderstood it, which is why they were guarding against the protagonist group's invasion."

"And this intelligence... indicates that there is a traitor within the faction to which the protagonist group belongs."

As he said, after the other team joined up with the main characters, they thwarted the mole's sabotage plan. Meanwhile, the authorities, who had originally intended to gradually dismantle the Umbrella Corporation, finally decided to take the initiative after the Umbrella Corporation was severely weakened.

Thus, the opportunity to end the entire series was presented to the Central Continent Team... At this time, there was still more than half a day before they returned to the Main God Space, and a new mission had been issued. With no other choice, they had to end the entire series.

For most of the team members, the significance of this opportunity was still unclear… but Mu Xiang, who had seen the entire film series, knew that after the Umbrella Corporation was severely damaged, the forces opposing it gained a respite. If the Umbrella Corporation were destroyed in one fell swoop, regardless of what forces might emerge as new villains, the Resident Evil series could be considered to have come to an end.

“Most of you haven’t seen the movies after Resident Evil 3… Well, Zhang Heng has seen Resident Evil 5, but the sequels are different from what you expect,” Mu Xiang explained to everyone.

Zhang Heng, who was waiting to show off his telekinetic floating cannons, casually said, "Isn't the White House battle the next one after the fifth movie?"

"No... that was just a pie-in-the-sky promise at the end of the fifth book." Mu Xiang smiled sarcastically. "According to the official novel, the White House battle was actually a hoax... It wasn't the final battle at all, but rather a counterattack by Umbrella Corporation's competitors against Wesker. He was just looking for cannon fodder."

"The battle ended with Wesker failing to devour Alice and escaping from the mountain of mutated hybrids. Leon and Ada both died inside the monster, while Jill was killed by Wesker while trying to save Alice." Mu Xiang shrugged. "This part wasn't filmed at all; it was followed by Resident Evil 6, which copied a bunch of existing plot points..."

Zhang Heng was taken aback: "Won't that get us roasted by the audience?"

“Yes.” Mu Xiang nodded. “However, that’s not the point I’m trying to make… Haven’t you realized that, judging from the current situation, the storyline after Resident Evil 3 is essentially impossible to continue? Even following the actions of the faction to which the main characters belong could end the entire series, right? But to maximize profits, my suggestion is to also deal with many details of the sixth installment.”

Since the movie doesn't mention it, no one is sure if the forces cooperating with the main characters include other biotech giants wreaking havoc in the apocalypse... But whether they are or not, it doesn't conflict with ending the Resident Evil series.

Mu Xiang's idea was to... split up the forces: one team would protect the main characters and help them complete the final battle against the Umbrella Corporation's armed forces, while the other team would go to the destroyed Raccoon City to do more things and thus increase the overall reward.

Zheng Zha remained silent for a while, then asked the crucial question on behalf of those present or absent: "How should we handle this?"

"The fall of Umbrella Corporation is not the end... those high-ranking officials are still asleep." Mu Xiang sneered. "Although we didn't find these things in another Resident Evil world similar to the game's setting... we might be able to find them in this world similar to the movie's setting."

"Where are they?"

"Under the Hive!"
