Chapter 75 The Shock Brought by the Super Thermobaric Bomb (5200 words)

After seeing G William and Super Tyrant fight, white bullet comments surged wildly.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! They're fighting! G William is charging straight at the Tyrant!! That claw ripped the Tyrant's coat to shreds! That's a bulletproof coat that even assault rifles can't penetrate, but it's like paper in front of G William's claw!"

"The Tyrant isn't going to give up either! Look at its right hand, that claw is a whole size bigger than before! Did it evolve during the battle?! The T-virus has this kind of setting?!"

"The coat should be a limiter. In August's live stream next door, Tyrant also turned into this. He first used a flamethrower to burn Tyrant's coat, and then Tyrant directly entered this clothes-bursting berserk state. He punched August's character into a pulp. Now he is respawning at the respawn point."

"Hilarious! August finally gained an advantage with his flamethrower, only to be killed in a second."

"This is exactly what I want to see! This visceral, bone-crunching action is way more exciting than any Hollywood blockbuster! Tyrant versus G-William! T-virus versus G-virus! Two top-tier bio-weapons from Umbrella Corporation going head-to-head! Who will be the strongest monster in Raccoon City? Place your bets!"

Inside the underground laboratory in Fusang, Nobuyuki Nakajima was so excited that he stood up from his chair, watching the battle between Super Tyrant and G3 William on the screen.

Although Umbrella's previous announcement had a significant impact on him, he still loves the Resident Evil game and is still amazed by the creation of the biological weapons in it.

Every day when he was doing experiments, he would use the blueprints of the bio-weapons in the game as a reference.

What he's most looking forward to is the release of the new chapter of Resident Evil, to see what new monsters will appear that he can use as inspiration for his design ideas.

As expected, the final chapter did not disappoint him. Putting aside the minor innovations of Licker Mod and Pale Head, the botanical garden in the East District laboratory alone caught his eye.

The plants mutated by the T-virus have many similarities to the spore fungi project he is currently researching, except that he uses fungal spores, while the Umbrella Corporation uses plant genetic modification.

He has begun sketching and writing in his experimental journal, trying to extract design elements from the entwining mechanism of the vines in the botanical garden and the predatory behavior of the flower vines that can be applied to the spore zombies.

But what truly made his heart race and completely immersing him in the moment was the new forms of the Tyrant and G William.

That kind of pure, unadorned clash of power is exactly what he wants to pursue.

Just then, the door behind him opened, and he frowned and reprimanded without turning his head.

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me at this time unless it's urgent?!"

After Chambers arrived in Japan, he had someone backing him up, and his status in the laboratory rose accordingly. Researchers who didn't listen to him much before now obeyed him.

This made him even more eager to produce research results that could convince the public, so that his power could continue indefinitely rather than be a fleeting phenomenon.

After enjoying the feeling of having power, who would want to lose it?

However, Nobuyuki Nakajima did not get the reply he wanted. He turned around to look at the person behind him, but was immediately stunned because it was Chambers who came in.

"Major General Chambers! Why did you come in person? You didn't even send someone to let me know beforehand so I could have greeted you at the door."

Nakajima Nobuyuki bowed deeply to Chambers almost reflexively, bending at an angle even lower than when he usually bowed to his superiors in Japan, and a fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.

Chambers glanced expressionlessly at Nobuyuki Nakajima and the live stream still playing on the screen next to him.

"Dr. Nakajima, I came here to see for myself the real data on the spore zombie you mentioned before. This report says the infection time is ten minutes? And the transmissibility of the spores is also greatly enhanced. Are you sure you're not exaggerating?" Chambers waved the report in his hand.

"Absolutely no exaggeration!" Nobuyuki Nakajima quickly replied.

This is the research he has been conducting for the past few days, since there is no way to further enhance the strength of the spore zombies in his hands in a short period of time.

So he thought of further enhancing the spread and infectivity of the spores, at least to the level of the T-virus in the game.

Spores are naturally quite easy to spread, so his research went relatively smoothly.

"So, how's the research on that special zombie you mentioned earlier, the one that can control other spore zombies, going?" Chambers continued to ask.

"We already have the results!" Nobuyuki Nakajima immediately pulled up a video recording, wanting to prove the value of his experiment.

"Major General, please take a look. This is the record of the live experiments we conducted on death row inmates three days ago. Subject 037, male, 32 years old, underwent severe mutation after being injected with a large amount of spores. We call him the Manipulator."

In the center of the room in the video, there sat something that was no longer recognizable as human.

Its body was a full size larger than that of a normal spore zombie, and it was covered with fist-sized, pus-like fungal fruiting bodies. Each pus-like body was pulsating slightly, and grayish-white spore powder would occasionally spray out from the cracks at the top of the pus-like bodies.

The most disgusting part was its head. No human facial features could be seen on that head anymore. The eyes and nose were completely covered by fungal tissue growing from the inside. Only the mouth was left, but the lips had been completely corroded by the hyphae, revealing two rows of blackened teeth.

A specially made metal helmet was also attached to his head, with a dense network of fine wires extending all the way to a control panel on the wall of the room.

"We installed a control device on the operator's head, which can issue simple commands to it by stimulating specific brain regions with electrical current, and then control other zombies through it. Just yesterday, test subject 037 continued to respond to all our commands, including moving forward, backward, stopping, and attacking designated targets." Nobuyuki Nakajima's voice became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Major General, the control effect of Hive Mind far exceeds expectations! As long as there is one command-type zombie within the battlefield, all the spore zombies infected by it will obey unified command like a swarm of bees. This is much stronger than the Umbrella Corporation's T-virus zombies! The zombies in the game just mindlessly devour people, but our spore zombies can fight in teams!"

"When will we be able to make a bio-weapon as powerful as a tyrant?" Chambers nodded and asked again.

Nakajima Nobuyuki's excitement was largely extinguished by these words. He opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then cautiously said, "Major General, Tyrant-level biological weapons require either the T-virus or the G-virus to be manufactured."

"Spores can parasitize and control the nervous system of a host, but their gene-rewriting ability is limited. Currently, they cannot induce severe muscle mutations and extreme regenerative abilities like the Tyrant. As you saw last time, our spore zombies are only faster than ordinary people; their strength and resilience are not outstanding, unless—"

"Unless we get the virus sample from Umbrella," Chambers continued, his tone devoid of emotion.

"Yes!" Nobuyuki Nakajima nodded vigorously, his eyes regaining their light.

"If I could obtain even a tiny bit of Umbrella's T-virus sample, even just a remnant of culture medium, I could combine the spore's parasitic mechanism with the T-virus's gene mutation mechanism! With both mechanisms combined, we could mass-produce tyrants that obey our every command!"

"I understand. In the next few days, produce more spore zombies and manipulators. I've already had the Japanese government send over 500 death row inmates. Be ready to receive them," Chambers said.

"Five hundred? That many?" Nobuyuki Nakajima was stunned. He used death row inmates for human experiments in his previous research, but he had only used less than four hundred in the past few years.

Now, five hundred have been transferred in at once, more than all of the previous years combined. He doesn't know how to use them. Moreover, death row inmates are not as common as cabbages. In the past few years, even during peacetime, there might not have been five hundred death row inmates a year.

It is precisely because of the oil field incident in the past two years that the overall environment has deteriorated, coupled with the brainwashing of militarism that has led many people to do extreme things, that the number of death row inmates has increased.

However, gathering 500 death row inmates would require emptying several prisons. Although these are death row inmates, if it were discovered that they had all suddenly disappeared overnight, it would cause a huge uproar.

Those death row inmates also have families, lawyers, and human rights organizations advocating for them; these people will never give up easily.

"Once you have infected all these people into spore zombies, I will send people to release these zombies into Nushantara, which will be a good opportunity to test their combat capabilities."

"If Umbrella fails to hold off these zombie attacks, we can just go in and take what we want. Afterwards, we can say that Umbrella's own research into the bio-virus caused a leak and triggered the zombie crisis, and that the previous announcement was just the pot calling the kettle black. Anyway, the Umbrella Corporation in Resident Evil is based on them, so the public will believe it," Chambers said.

"What if they block them?" Nobuyuki Nakajima asked, bewildered.

"It doesn't matter if they block us. We'll just issue a statement saying that Umbrella has been secretly buying death row inmates from the Japanese government for illegal human experiments all these years. We can produce real prisoner transfer records, and then we can legitimately send troops into Nusantara under the pretext of investigating crimes against humanity and take over Umbrella's factories," Chambers sneered.

He knew, of course, that if he used this reason, the Japanese government would once again be thrust into the eye of the storm of global public opinion.

The embarrassing image of Sanae Kishibe bowing and apologizing to the world's cameras in the press conference room has not yet faded from people's memories. Now that it is going to happen again, Japan's international image will probably fall to rock bottom.

But he didn't care. Fusang was just a dog. What did it matter if a dog got a few scoldings? It wasn't the owner who was being scolded.

He had been holding a grudge against Umbrella's previous announcement. He had just arrived in Japan and hadn't even had a chance to show his skills when that announcement backfired, causing him to be severely reprimanded by his superiors. That's why he came up with this plan.

Upon hearing Chambers' words, Nobuyuki Nakajima felt a chill run down his spine.

Just then, a loud bang came from a nearby screen, and Nobuyuki Nakajima and Chambers looked over at it together.

The screen was still showing the live stream of Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, which Nobuyuki Nakajima hadn't had time to turn off.

He wasn't watching the live stream of Japan's top streamer, Yosuke Yamashita, but rather, as was his usual habit, watching the live stream of Yan country streamer, Liao Yunkai, since it was the first time he had ever watched his live stream.

On the screen at this moment, Liao Yunkai had already crossed the battlefield between G William and the Tyrant, and took the elevator to the lower level, where he encountered William, who had entered G4 mode.

The comments section was scrolling wildly.

"Holy crap! This is G William's fourth form already! How many forms does he have in total?! Is he some kind of unkillable cockroach?"

"Looks like the G-Virus is still the most awesome. The Super Tyrant was completely torn apart by G4 William. How are we supposed to fight now?!"

"Kai-ge is already in first place, speed it up! Don't let him overtake you!"

On the screen, Liao Yunkai was using all his strength to get rid of G4 William. He finally managed to get on the train, but then he saw William in G5 form chasing after him.

Nobuyuki Nakajima's gaze was fixed on the screen, his lips trembling slightly with excitement.

He completely forgot that Chambers was standing behind him, and that he had just been reporting experimental data on the Spore Swarm. He was completely absorbed in G William's terrifying, ever-mutating and expanding figure.

G. William's terrifying, nauseating body looked to him like a supermodel wearing sexy lingerie.

"It's so beautiful—the multi-stage evolution mechanism of the G virus—each mutation is a real-time feedback on the combat data of the previous form—the fourth form enhances speed and climbing ability to make up for the lack of mobility in the third form, and the fifth form directly abandons the humanoid structure in order to pursue coverage area and devouring ability—this self-optimizing evolutionary logic is simply—"

"Dr. Nakajima," Chambers said coldly, interrupting Nobuyuki Nakajima's mutterings.

Nakajima Nobuyuki snapped out of his daze, turned to look at Chambers' expressionless face, and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

He hurriedly reached out to turn off the live stream, but Chambers stopped him before his finger even touched the screen, as a mushroom cloud was already rising on the screen.

Chambers stared blankly at the enormous mushroom cloud for a long time before turning to Nobuyuki Nakajima beside him and asking.

"What kind of weapon is that?" He hadn't read the previous episodes, so he didn't know what it was.

"It's a super thermobaric weapon. I heard it's comparable to a nuclear bomb but without the same level of radioactivity. But I don't know what a nuclear bomb is," Nobuyuki Nakajima said.

He did watch the plot, but he studies biology and doesn't know much about missiles.

"A nuclear bomb—how is that possible—" Chambers said incredulously.

The development of nuclear weapons is a top secret even within the United States of America. He only recently learned a little bit about it, knowing that it was a missile with super power. But he never expected that a game would come up with a super weapon first.

Judging from the shape and spread of that mushroom cloud, you can tell that the power of this explosion was definitely not something the art team just drew on a whim.

For such a cloud to form, there must be a violent explosion near the ground followed by a rapid rise of high-temperature gas, which then cools and diffuses, interacting with ground dust to create a fluid dynamic phenomenon.

Volcanic eruptions also produce similar clouds, but they are not quite the same. Mushroom clouds like the one on the screen can only be produced by a violent explosion.

"Could it be that they've seen an explosion like this before? Impossible! Impossible!" Chambers felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand up.

"Major General?" Nobuyuki Nakajima saw Chambers looking so distracted and quickly went to help him up.

Chambers suddenly turned around and grabbed Nobuyuki Nakajima's shoulder with such force that the thin doctor felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

"Now, immediately, infect all those death row inmates and then release them into Nusantara. We must destroy this company completely at all costs!"

Regardless of whether Umbrella actually possessed relevant data and information on nuclear weapons, the company could no longer be allowed to operate.

He absolutely cannot allow nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of any organization or country other than the United States of America, even if the threat is currently only a possibility existing in the game screen.

As for the super thermobaric bomb mentioned in the plot, that's bullshit; it's just a fucking nuclear bomb.

Not only Chambers reacted so strongly, but Lu Fuyun, who was far away in Shenhai City, Yan Country, also stood up abruptly from the sofa in the Deep Blue Technology conference room after seeing the mushroom cloud slowly rising in Liao Yunkai's live broadcast.

His pupils contracted sharply in that instant, and he froze in front of the screen in silence for a long time before turning to the encrypted phone next to him and dialing a number known only to a very few people.

He spoke rapidly into the microphone, reporting what he had just seen in the game livestream and the various speculations that arose from it. There was a long silence on the other end of the microphone, and then an old and steady voice came through, saying only a few words, but each word was enough to keep the highest military decision-making body of the entire Yan Kingdom awake all night.

Similar figures in other countries are doing the same thing—the Kingdom of Victoria, the Duchy of the Rhine, the Kingdom of the Iris, the Northern Federation—

In different corners of the planet, in different languages ​​and time zones, those who possessed their respective countries' top military secrets witnessed firsthand tonight the mushroom cloud rising from the ruins of Raccoon City.

These countries are all conducting theoretical research or early-stage development of nuclear weapons in secret to varying degrees, but the pace of progress varies. Some have just built up theoretical models, while others have already begun to attempt small-scale experiments.

But so far, no country has actually built nuclear weapons that can be used in actual combat.

But now, a video game with hundreds of millions of players worldwide has used near-realistic high-definition graphics to completely show the entire process and final effect of a nuclear explosion to the world, allowing everyone who sees this scene to clearly understand it.

This is the ultimate weapon capable of wiping out an entire small to medium-sized city.

No one knows what kind of chain reaction this mushroom cloud will trigger in the highest decision-making levels of their respective countries.

Will their fear cause them to halt the development of this weapon, which is capable of destroying all of human civilization, or will it drive them to accelerate the development process even more frantically, sparing no expense to be the first to master it before any other country?
