Samsara Space: They're all begging me to heal them one more time.

"Bang—!!"

Accompanied by the intense friction of wheels against rails, the silver-white train roared out of the dark and deep tunnel like a silver dragon breaking free of the shackles of hell.

The blinding light instantly filled everyone's field of vision.

That wasn't the fire from the laboratory's self-destruction, but rather the first ray of dawn piercing through the clouds from beyond the horizon.

Its daybreak.

"We're out...we're out!!"

Ignoring the stinging pain in his eyes from the still-dry light, the fat man scrambled to the car window. Looking out at the rapidly receding wilderness and forest, tears streaming down his face, he cried out with overwhelming emotion, "I survived! I, Fatty, survived!"

The blond-haired man slumped in the driver's seat, his Remington rifle, now empty, slipping from his hand to the ground. His hand trembled as he reached for a cigarette, only to find half a flattened chocolate bar in his pocket.

Li Mo huddled in a corner, hugging his knees, looking at his still slightly trembling hands—the very hands that had just accurately hit the explosives thrown into the monster's mouth. The exhaustion from the adrenaline rush left him unable to move even a finger.

Only Zhang Yuan remained calm.

He stood by the broken door frame at the rear of the train, letting the wind tousle his hair. His gaze wasn't fixed on the dawn ahead, but rather on the silhouette of the city that had dwindled to a tiny size on the horizon behind the train.

Raccoon City.

"It's not over yet," Zhang Yuan murmured.

"Brother Yuan, what did you say?" The fat man came closer, a silly grin on his face, as if he had just survived a disaster.

"Look over there."

Zhang Yuan raised his chin and pointed to the distant sky.

There, several black-painted helicopters were slicing through the sky, dropping an object with a trail of flame over Raccoon City.

next second.

Heaven and earth fell silent.

A blinding light, a hundred times brighter than the sun, suddenly shone in the heart of the city. Immediately afterward, a massive, menacing mushroom cloud rose into the sky, churning and surging towards an altitude of ten thousand meters.

Rumble—!!!

After a few seconds of delay, a loud bang finally came, accompanied by a devastating shockwave. Even from more than ten kilometers away, the speeding train was shaken violently, like a small boat on the sea.

That was a nuclear explosion.

This is the final chapter of the "disinfection" operation.

Whether it was the rampant zombies, the G-monsters that failed to evolve, or the once prosperous city of sin, they all turned to dust in this absolute heat and destruction.

The carriage was deathly silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the blooming flower of death, feeling the awe-inspiring power emanating from humanity's ultimate weapon. Before such power, their previous struggles, battles, and even the once-invincible G5 monster seemed so insignificant and laughable.

"it's over."

Zhang Yuan gently exhaled a breath of stale air.

As the dust settled from the nuclear explosion, the red countdown timer beneath his retina finally reached zero.

A series of green settlement notifications flashed across the screen, and at the end, there was a line of text emitting a soft golden light:

This train journey has ended.

[Building a regression channel...]

The surrounding space began to distort, and the once solid train carriage began to ripple like water. The desolate scenery outside the window gradually blurred, and in its place appeared that familiar, seemingly unchanging starry sky.

"Are we going back?"

Shirley, who had been silent all along, suddenly tugged at Zhang Yuan's sleeve. She seemed to sense something too, and her large, bright blue eyes filled with unease.

As a character in the story, she cannot leave this world. What awaits her is the US government's internment and a long period of observation.

Zhang Yuan squatted down and looked at the biggest "patron" of this mission.

"Yes, we're leaving. But you will live on."

Zhang Yuan didn't offer any heartwarming promises; he simply slipped a police badge engraved with the letters RPD (a souvenir he'd casually picked up in the chief's office) into her hand.

"Remember, never trust anyone again. Especially those who say they want to protect you."

Shirley nodded, seemingly understanding.

"Brother Yuan! What... what's going on? My body has become transparent!" the fat man shouted in terror.

"Don't panic, it's teleportation."

Zhang Yuan stood up and straightened his tattered jacket, which was stained with zombie blood and engine oil.

He looked around at his three teammates.

Huang Mao Aqiang transformed from a thug who only knew how to slash randomly into a warrior who skillfully fired at the BOSS.

Fatty Wang Defa transformed from a cowardly man who trembled at the sight of anything strange into a qualified tank who dared to use his body to draw the BOSS's firepower.

Li Mo, who wears glasses, has transformed from a student who couldn't even hold a gun properly into a key player capable of accurate shooting.

Although they were still inexperienced and full of flaws, they survived the 24 hours of hell.

Moreover, it was under Zhang Yuan's "encouragement" that they survived.

"Now that you've survived, stand up straight."

As Zhang Yuan watched the teleportation light gradually engulf everyone, a wild and arrogant smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"We not only beat the game, but we beat it by stepping over the corpses of the Tyrant and the G-virus."

"When you get back to the space, don't act like you've never seen anything like this before. Remember, you're all my [employees]."

Om-! !

The light shone brightly.

The train drove away, and the ruins disappeared.

When everyone's vision cleared again, the stench of decay and sulfur had vanished, replaced by the distinctive, metallic chill of the central square.

The cacophony of voices, vendors' cries, and train whistles once again filled my ears.

"Take a look! The newbie gift pack is only 100 points!"

"High-price buyback offer for Skynet computing cores from the Terminator series!"

"Let's team up! We're going to fight E-rank dinosaurs, we need a tank!"

It's like an eternity.

One second they were in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and the next they were back in this bustling gathering place of all the worlds.

Zhang Yuan stood in the center of the square and took a deep breath of the air, which smelled of engine oil. He could feel that after this baptism, he had been transformed, both physically and mentally.

Before him, a vast and magnificent golden scroll, visible only to him, slowly unfolded in the void.

[Task settlement begins...]

[This stop: Resident Evil: Raccoon City (E+ level)]

[Completion: 70%]

[Special Achievements Completed: Kendo's Legacy, G-Virus Sample, Defeating Tyrant T-103, Defeating William G3...]

Looking at the dazzling list of rewards, Zhang Yuan's lips curled up slightly, his eyes flashing with undisguised ambition and greed.

This is a harvest moment that belongs exclusively to capitalists.

"Come on, let me see just how heavy this first pot of gold really is."
