Marvel's Death Merchant

“Of course, the mission has already begun,” Wesker said simply.

"Hmm, that's good." Tang Tian said casually, then hung up the phone, since there was nothing else to worry about now.

Albert Wesker's abilities are also exceptional. Whether in movies or games, Wesker has become one of the most important characters in Resident Evil. Wesker's rise to prominence is actually quite understandable.

Spencer, the former chairman of Umbrella Corporation, once believed that his ideal world required a new kind of human being fused with a virus to change the world. Of course, he also knew what the new human race needed and how such a new human would develop. So he began to experiment with the progenitor virus to create individuals with special physical characteristics.

The project was initially called Project Wesker, named after its lead researcher. In the experiment, hundreds of children born to highly intelligent parents were collected. Although their knowledge, logic, and personality could not be manipulated genetically, Spencer instilled his own ideas and values ​​in them.

These children were all given the surname Wesker, and after being taught and indoctrinated, they were placed in arranged environments in various corners of the world under Umbrella's all-encompassing surveillance.

The children, of course, were unaware that they were being watched, and that Umbrella was secretly helping them receive the best education available to them in their environment.

Years later, one of the children displayed exceptional abilities and was sent to Umbrella's training facility in Raccoon City. This child, whose last name was Wesker, was named Albert.

Spencer initially wanted to create a sufficient number of new humans, but unfortunately Tang Tian came to this world, and the original chairman of the Umbrella Corporation was killed.

Albert Wesker and his partner, William Birkin, were very good friends, their relationship akin to that of Professor X and Magneto. The origin of the C-virus was closely related to these two, and Wesker's son and William's daughter ultimately led to the successful development of the C-virus.

Tang Tian has already contacted the Fantastic Four team and is preparing to join their experiment. They are unaware that their experiences outside the universe will grant them powerful superpowers. Tang Tian is doing this so that Stark can also possess superpowers, which would be beneficial to his development.

The appearance of Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four didn't actually catch Tang Tian's attention. He could easily handle them, and his plan continued as usual, as it was essential. Tang Tian also wanted to know what kind of superpowers his body would gain after absorbing the energy of the cosmic storm, because the Marvel universe needed a lot of power—which was understandable, given how dangerous the world was.

Chapter 135 Hive Base

Raccoon City, Tokyo, Japan, Hive Base. The story is unfolding as if it were a Resident Evil movie plot, but this time, the one who stole the T-virus wasn't a rival company. It turned out to be a spy from the Hydra organization, which surprised Tang Tian somewhat. However, this didn't affect the plot at all. What he didn't know was that his former enemy had come to this universe.

"What happened? Wasn't I killed by that guy?" A headache woke Zhang Zhongyi from his deep sleep, and he looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings in confusion.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhongyi realized that his hands were tied behind his back, and the prolonged binding of his arms felt as if they were about to be broken. The pain didn't puzzle Zhang Zhongyi; instead, he felt a surge of joy, because he was alive, after all.

"Where...where exactly is this?" Zhang Zhongyi closed his eyes and clearly remembered losing consciousness. He was in a daze in the darkness for an unknown amount of time before being swallowed by an unknown space and ending up here.

"Could it be that I've entered another movie's storyline dimension? If so, that wouldn't be bad." Zhang Zhongyi thought about these things more and more, and he felt no fear whatsoever. His rebirth had made Zhang Zhongyi understand the importance of life, and the hatred he harbored for a certain arms dealer slowly faded from his soul, because life had been quite tiring.

"There are people here. Who am I now?" Zhang Zhongyi hesitated, wondering whether to open his eyes, and began to speak. But suddenly, Zhang Zhongyi realized that his voice was somewhat unbelievable.

After Zhang Zhongyi finished speaking, he realized it was fluent English, which puzzled him. He used to rely on it for translation when he was in the Main God Space, and now that the Main God was clearly gone, his words were understood without any difficulty.

"I'm a police officer here. What are you doing? Let me go! You've broken my arm!" For safety reasons, Zhang Zhongyi kept his eyes closed, but sensed someone outside and said nervously.

Zhang Zhongyi suddenly opened his eyes, but what he saw before him immediately puzzled him. Standing in front of him were not strangers, but a squad of fully armed soldiers. He was being forced down in the corridor, which appeared to be the corridor of a high-tech base.

After hearing Zhang Zhongyi's words, the soldier who had restrained him searched his clothes and found an identification document. Zhang Zhongyi glanced at it and saw it was a police officer's ID. He then thought with relief, "I guessed right, it seems this person really is a policeman."

At that moment, another Black soldier said in English, "Report the situation!"

This man was clearly the leader of the group, as his voice carried an unquestionable air. However, the other members were visibly hesitant. So, he commanded in an even more authoritative voice, "Report immediately."

Another mercenary said, "Sir, the main defense system of this house has been activated, and this woman and the person in front of us may still be affected by the side effects."

Although Zhang Zhongyi was being held captive here, his mind was racing despite his physical immobility. As the former captain of the Silent Team, he was capable of handling such unexpected situations, but he still needed to be cautious because he wasn't entirely familiar with this place.

Zhang Zhongyi listened intently to the conversation between the officer and his men, easily understanding their language and using it to analyze his current situation. After all, he was now a prisoner and couldn't do anything.

Although Zhang Zhongyi was surprised to find himself in this place, after thinking for a moment, he still asked the black officer, "What do you want to do with me? Where am I?"

The Black officer didn't answer him, but instead said to the person next to him, "Have you figured out this guy's identity? Is he in danger?"

“The guy’s name on his badge is Matt Addison,” one of the soldiers replied, “but strangely, the local police department doesn’t have any matching information.”

Upon hearing the mercenary's words, Zhang Zhongyi's eyes lit up: "Matt Addison?... He's the male lead in the Resident Evil movies. Looks like he's had a bit of bad luck, but I'm sure I won't stay here."

As Zhang Zhongyi was lost in thought, the soldier beside him drew a pistol from his waist, clicked the safety off, and pressed the muzzle against his head, demanding, "Who are you?" Umbrella Corporation's rule in the Marvel universe is that strangers must be eliminated. To protect the company's interests.

Although Zhang Zhongyi was slightly startled by the gun, he wasn't afraid. Without thinking twice, he continued, "I was just transferred here, so they might not have my file yet, which is understandable." Zhang Zhongyi used simple words to dispel the mercenaries' misunderstanding of him. Although he didn't know the real outcome, he was already grateful to be alive.

“The Raccoon City Police Department is already short-staffed because this is Japan. There are relatively few Americans here, so what he said is possible. Good, you can survive for now,” the black mercenary captain said calmly.

However, the female mercenary next to him, adhering to the rules, said, "Let's just kill him right here. Company policy is that outsiders can't enter the base." She was eager to try, holding a pistol in her hand. Although Zhang Zhongyi felt somewhat helpless, he didn't say anything, otherwise, he would definitely have been killed.

Fortunately, the black officer hesitated for a moment, then suddenly removed his hood, revealing a dark and dignified face, and said, "No, take him away. We might need his help. After all, he is one of the two survivors who came here."

Previously, Zhang Zhongyi learned that his current name was that of the male protagonist of the movie. Zhang Zhongyi had never experienced the movie world, but he had experienced the game world with the tech-savvy Iron Block.

Although Zhang Zhongyi wasn't very familiar with the movie's plot, he recognized the dialogue between the soldiers, which was similar to that in the movie Resident Evil. Because he had experienced similar horror movies, he would always watch the dialogue.

He saw his own face in the glass beside him, and Zhang Zhongyi was now certain he was in a movie dimension. He had only seen the movie Resident Evil once. He remembered the characters, plot, dialogue, and even the actions quite clearly. The black captain in front of him looked exactly like James Sheldon from the movie. Moreover, the Umbrella Corporation logo was prominently displayed on the uniforms of these armed soldiers.

"It seems my soul's arrival in this world was indeed the right decision. Now I think I can survive," Zhang Zhongyi thought to himself. His soul was still incredibly powerful, but his body was a bit weaker; after all, it wasn't his original body, which had been strengthened countless times. (To be continued...)

Chapter 136 Entering the Base

Just as Zhang Zhongyi had discovered, the person next to him was indeed Alice. However, he didn't know that she was also a character from the game, and that this was the company of his old rival. Of course, Zhang Zhongyi was still very weak now, lacking his former strength.

Ryan, seeing Zhang Zhongyi deep in thought, whispered in his ear to the mercenary who had tried to kill him, "Don't try anything funny. If it weren't for the captain's orders, I would have killed you already. And if you're not satisfied, challenge me to a duel." Zhang Zhongyi ignored the mercenary, realizing that his current strength was truly pathetic.

Then, at that moment, the black officer, James Sheldon, said, "Prepare to enter the Hive base." The door opened as soon as he finished speaking. The female mercenary, Ryan, holstered her pistol, removed her hood, grabbed Zhang Zhongyi, and shouted, "Let's go!" Zhang Zhongyi merely glanced back at her indifferently, saying nothing. In this situation, he had no choice but to obey them.

And so, Zhang Zhongyi was brought into the Hive Base to face the dangers to come. But Zhang Zhongyi believed he could survive; after all, he had survived countless story worlds in the Reincarnation World, far more dangerous than this one.

Although it hadn't been long, Zhang Zhongyi had already calmed down and wasn't as confused as when he first arrived. To him, this world resembled the world of the movie *Resident Evil 1*, but he hadn't considered just how vast it actually was.

Zhang Zhongyi suddenly remembered that according to the original movie plot, although Matt Addison managed to escape the Hive base alive, he unfortunately became an experimental subject and a tracker. However, he still had a way to avoid this situation; the demonic cultivation technique in his mind would help him enhance his power in a short period of time.

Zhang Zhongyi thought to himself that although he had survived again, he had become an unlucky guy. He thought helplessly, "Being unlucky is being unlucky. At least it's better than being possessed by other mercenaries. Otherwise, I would be even more unlucky."

Just like in the plot, Zhang Zhongyi and Alice were placed side by side in a corner, and the train lost power, just like in the story. Mercenary Ryan got off the train, fixed the problem, and then followed Kaplan to start the train again. At the entrance to the Hive base, the mercenary will also find the unconscious Spence Parks, the villain in the movie.

Sure enough, mercenary Jeddy opened the door to the storage room, and Spence was discovered. What happened next was just like in the movies: the medic gave Spence a quick check and said, "He's fine, just like everyone else, he's lost his memory."

Spence was not a good person. He later betrayed Alice and the others, and met a tragic end. However, his identity as a member of the Hydra organization remained unknown to everyone.

Only Zhang Zhongyi knew the ending; no one else did. She kept staring at Spencer, at the ring on her left ring finger. Due to the side effects of the anesthetic, Alice couldn't remember anything from before.

The train finally arrived at the station. Mercenaries Kaplan, Ryan, and the black officer James Sheldon disembarked first, followed by Zhang Zhongyi, Alice, Spence, and Jedi. They climbed the stairs and finally arrived at the true entrance to the Hive base. It was a sturdy steel gate, marked with the Umbrella Corporation logo and a warning in yellow lettering.

Kaplan and Ryan immediately began using their equipment to break down the door. Alice suddenly stepped forward and loudly questioned James Shade, "Who are you? What happened?" James Shade ignored her, so Alice grabbed him and shouted, "Tell me now!"

James Sheldon knew Alice was the head of the Hive Base department, so he patiently explained it to her. The others were also doing their own thing.

Not long after, the gate outside the base opened. The mercenaries cautiously entered. Although Zhang Zhongyi didn't want to be here for the time being, he had no choice. He could only silently cultivate the techniques in his mind. Zhang Zhongyi couldn't be foolish enough to tell the mercenaries that there were zombies inside and it was extremely dangerous; otherwise, he wouldn't just be surviving, he might be riddled with bullets.

Meanwhile, the mercenaries discovered the elevator was broken and decided to take the stairs. On their way down, Kaplan mentioned the Flame Queen. Alice, having lost her memory, naturally had no idea who she was.

James Sheldon continued to explain to her, "He is the company's most advanced computer, controlling this Hive base. He can see our every move. Of course, he is also the company's most valuable asset."

The mercenaries descended the stairs and arrived at the water-filled laboratories and research rooms. They had to pass through here to get to the main computer control room. "We'll be wasting time because of this!" said Kaplan. James Sheldon glanced around and said, "Ryan, Jedi, you two go scout ahead!" The two mercenaries went ahead, while the others stayed behind.

Alice looked around the base, clearly stunned by the scene, and asked James Sheldon, "What's going on here?"

James Sheldon hesitated for a moment before saying, "Five hours ago, the Red Queen went on a killing spree, sealing off the headquarters and slaughtering everyone inside. Upon receiving the news, Commander Albert Wesker ordered us to come and shut her down."

At that moment, Zhang Zhongyi noticed the difference from the movie and asked the black captain, "Who is Wesker?"

The black officer, James Sheldon, glanced at Zhang Zhongyi and said, "Mr. Wesker is the captain of the Stars in the Arklay Mountains, the head of Raccoon City in Tokyo, Japan, and the captain of the Alpha Squad and the Bulava Squad."

"This isn't part of the game's storyline. What kind of world is this?" Upon hearing James Sheldon's words, Zhang Zhongyi was taken aback and felt increasingly strange about this world.

Just as Zhang Zhongyi finished speaking, he looked up and saw that only Ryan and Jedi, two mercenaries, were beside him. This meant that Alice and the others had already gone to the control room to shut down Red Queen. Zhang Zhongyi had to speed up the training; it was clear that things wouldn't be so fun when the zombies appeared.

Just then, a sound came from not far away.

Ryan and Jed glanced at Zhang Zhongyi beside them, and then Ryan said, "I'll go check on him, you keep an eye on him." With that, they headed towards the direction of the sound.

Zhang Zhongyi knew that Ryan would find a female zombie if he went over, and that Ryan would be bitten and infected because he wasn't careful. However, Zhang Zhongyi wouldn't specifically warn him. Now, after cultivating his techniques, his strength had reached that of two people, and he could absorb energy from other people's bodies to strengthen himself, which was the foundation for Zhang Zhongyi's survival.

Zhang Zhongyi also planned to escape to the outside world at the right time, at least not to this place for now. He wanted to investigate what kind of world this was. Therefore, he needed to survive. If he survived, Zhang Zhongyi could use the demonic cultivation techniques in his mind to contend with many forces. Because Zhang Zhongyi had exchanged for an SSS-level demonic cultivation technique, once he had fully mastered it, he would no longer fear the various biological weapons in the Resident Evil. (To be continued...)

Chapter 137 Crisis

Seeing Zhang Zhongyi's observation of Ryan's discovery, Jedi shouted at him, "Behave yourself and don't try anything funny, or I can't guarantee your safety." After saying that, Jedi looked around warily.

Not long after, Ryan's voice came from the other end: "Jedi, a survivor has been found." Upon hearing this, Jedi immediately rushed towards Ryan's location.

Hearing Ryan's cries, Zhang Zhongyi knew he was about to be infected by the zombies. "Why did you bite me?" Ryan's voice rang out again.

When Zhang Zhongyi walked over, he found that, just like in the movie, the researcher zombie was continuing to run towards Ryan, while making low growls in its throat, clearly wanting to tear Ryan to pieces.

Jeddy shoved the zombie aside, helped Ryan up, and asked, "Are you alright?" Ryan shook his head, saying he'd been bitten, and pointed at the zombie, yelling, "That thing's crazy! She's insane!"

As Zhang Zhongyi pondered how to obtain the key, Jedi yelled and fired. He only fired at the zombie's legs, which naturally had no effect and only increased his fear. Later, Ryan picked up his rifle and fired a burst, finally driving back the researcher zombie.

Then, as in the plot, Alice, Kaplan, and Spence returned. However, James Sheldon also returned alive, which clearly indicates that he likely sent his men in; otherwise, he couldn't have survived the laser tunnel.

At this moment, Zhang Zhongyi also saw the key on the ground. His two handcuffed hands were already preparing to grab the key. Zhang Zhongyi stepped forward and pretended to examine the bloodstains on the ground, saying, "The blood is congealed, which is very strange and impossible." With a slight flick of his fingers, he instantly grabbed the key in his palm.

"Why is it impossible? Explain," Jedi said, somewhat puzzled.

Zhang Zhongyi stood up and slowly said, "Only the blood of the dead is congealed." Zhang Zhongyi looked at Ryan and stared at her, saying, "He's right, that person was dead, a living dead person." Ryan looked at the congealed bloodstains on the ground and remained silent.

"A moving dead person?" James Sheldon frowned. He had never heard of a dead person who could move. The only ones he could believe were mutants and Iron Man; he wasn't entirely convinced of the existence of others.

Spence suddenly asked, "When are we leaving?" Ryan looked around and said, "Wait for the others to gather." At the mention of the others, Alice and the others' expressions changed. Zhang Zhongyi naturally knew what was going on, but Ryan and Jedi did not.

After a moment of silence, James Sheldon said, "There's no one else!" Ryan was startled and asked urgently, "What did you say?" Just then, a loud noise came from not far away.

In the movie, Matt, after getting the key, failed to unlock the handcuffs immediately and fell into the sewer, nearly losing his life. Zhang Zhongyi wouldn't make such a basic mistake. He immediately unlocked the handcuffs and simultaneously activated his demonic power to strengthen his body. Very fine lines appeared on Zhang Zhongyi's forehead, almost imperceptible unless you looked closely.

The mercenaries were too busy fighting the zombies to notice that Zhang Zhongyi, the prisoner, was now free. Zhang Zhongyi glanced around; just like in the movies, there were far too many zombies. They were gathering from all directions, and despite their slow movements, they had surrounded them in just a few minutes.

Zhang Zhongyi didn't have a gun. He couldn't help, so he could only hide in the back. But there were too many zombies, and everyone could only look after themselves. The mercenaries had guns, and as long as they had bullets in their chambers, the zombies couldn't get close for a while.

Zhang Zhongyi was different; zombies pounced on him. He could only retreat. Finally, three zombies surrounded Zhang Zhongyi. Zhang Zhongyi just smiled coldly, quickly picked up the broken glass from the ground, and held it in his hand, preparing to use it as bullets.

In the cycle of reincarnation, Zhang Zhongyi was no ordinary person. How could an ordinary person possibly hold the title of Dark King, even though he couldn't defeat the number one ranked Dark Artist? Zhang Zhongyi's current body was a full 1.85 meters tall, with an exceptionally sturdy build, though his strength wasn't as formidable as before. In an instant, Zhang Zhongyi controlled the shards of glass in his hand, striking and piercing through the zombie's head.

With a successful strike, Zhang Zhongyi calmly dispatched the remaining two zombies. At this point, the mercenaries had already begun their retreat. If he didn't catch them, he would be separated from the group, just like in the movies. In the film, Matt infiltrated the headquarters to find his sister, and being alone actually made things easier. However, there was no need for that now. While killing these zombies, Zhang Zhongyi simultaneously absorbed their physical energy and spiritual power, then circulated his magical arts to continuously strengthen his body.

"What are you doing with those pieces of glass on the ground?" Alice asked, puzzled, as she watched Zhang Zhongyi pick up the broken glass in such a dangerous situation.

"Wait a minute, I think I'll need it." Zhang Zhongyi wasn't worried about encountering zombie dogs; he was just very excited. After all, his current technique could absorb any energy substance from a living being, and he could do the rest himself.

Before he knew it, he had arrived at the guard post. As he walked, he saw that the dog cages had all been broken open. Zhang Zhongyi counted them in his mind—there were at least twenty cages. He felt a slight disdain: although these might have become zombie dogs, Zhang Zhongyi was confident that he could easily handle them with his current strength.

As Zhang Zhongyi was pondering, the first zombie dog came running up quickly, its two eerie blue eyes glaring fiercely at the two of them. Alice made the first move, running into the guardhouse behind her and closing the door to prevent other zombies from entering.

The instant Alice locked the door, Zhang Zhongyi saw a zombie rise from the ground, spread its arms, and lunge at Alice. As Zhang Zhongyi prepared to deal with the zombie, Alice turned around. She killed the guard zombie in a flash, demonstrating the capabilities of Umbrella Corporation's training.
