"You, what are you talking about?"

Hearing what Shido said, Reiya was confused, and the others looked at her in surprise.

"It's very simple..."

Looking at Reiya in front of him, Shido smiled and stretched out his hand to Reiya.

"You are one of us, do you understand? Miss, you once died and then resurrected again, and this... is the gift God has given us!!"

As he spoke, Zi Teng raised his hands high.

"We are the chosen ones!"

"But...I..."

Looking at the crazy Shido in front of her, Reiya had no idea what to say, but Shido didn't seem to care about her reaction and continued talking.

"You don't understand? I can tell you the truth about all this. You have no idea what kind of existence we are!"

Having said that, Zi Teng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then began to speak passionately as if he was a politician giving a speech on stage.

"Once upon a time, there were people like us on Earth. We looked like ordinary people, and we once thought we were just ordinary people. However, due to various reasons, we died in accidents before we could enjoy our natural life... Just when we thought we would fall into hell, we found that we were resurrected again!"

"……Why?"

"That's right, a complete resurrection! We have lost our weaknesses, we no longer feel pain, we are far away from death, and we will live in this world forever!"

As he spoke, Zi Teng's voice began to become passionate, and then became more and more angry.

"However, those ignorant humans at that time were terrified of us. They thought we were the walking dead, undead monsters, vampires... They pushed all the sins they had committed onto us, the undead, and gave us all kinds of names, thinking we were the source of sin and dark monsters. But in fact, we are just a group of ordinary people who were resurrected after death!"

Hearing Zi Teng's passionate speech, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment, but Zi Teng continued his speech.

"Some undead survived the pursuit of ignorant, stupid and barbaric humans, but at that time, they didn't know what they should do or what they could do. Fortunately, the progress of science has given us a glimmer of hope. The development of human medicine has allowed us to begin to understand our own bodies and everything about ourselves. Then, we discovered... the secret of all this!"

"secret?!"

“That’s right!”

Having said that, Zi Teng clenched his hands and looked at everyone proudly.

“You may still think that this crisis is caused by some virus we released around the world.”

"Isn't it?"

Hearing this, everyone was really shocked. You know, before this, no matter who it was, they all thought that Umbrella Corporation must have released some kind of virus, which caused this disaster, but now... Zi Teng actually denied it?

"Of course not."

Zi Teng seemed to enjoy the shocked expressions on everyone's faces. He raised the corners of his mouth and sneered slightly.

"In fact, our scientists have discovered in their research that after a human dies, a certain cell in their body will have a certain chance of mutating, causing the human to be transformed into an immortal and revived! That's right, those viruses are not real viruses, but things transformed from the cells in our bodies! They are a gift from God to us! A second life for us!! We call these cells 'God's gift'!"

“You’re lying!!”

At this moment, the blond zombie shouted and interrupted Zi Teng's speech.

"If that's what you said, then why did other people turn into zombies after being bitten to death?"

“Ah…that…”

But Zi Teng was not shaken by this. He shrugged his shoulders, then reached out and pressed his forehead, making an exaggerated gesture of disappointment.

"That, it's just a failure..."

"A failure...?"

"That's right. After we learned the secret of our bodies, we began to explore this mystery. Originally, we just wanted to live quietly. But... the world is not like that!!"

Having said that, Zi Teng clenched his hands.

"We are terrified by the self-destructive tendencies of mankind. World wars, the Cold War, what are the various countries doing? They are desperately improving their military strength and creating weapons that are enough to destroy the entire human race! If this continues, this planet will be completely destroyed by them!"

As Zi Teng spoke, her voice became more and more frantic.

"We absolutely cannot allow this to happen! We are the ones chosen by God! We have endless life and infinite power. We are the ones chosen to rule this world! However, those short-lived, low-level creatures are threatening our safety all the time! We cannot just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to deal with all this... So, we established the Umbrella Corporation."

Looking at the stunned crowd in front of him, Zi Teng smiled smugly.

"You don't know at all, the original intention of establishing Umbrella was not for you short-lived inferior humans, but to protect us, the undead, to protect us from being dragged into your stupid struggle for power and mutual destruction. However, you humans know nothing about this. You are just keen on fighting each other and longing for mutual destruction. This world is walking on a tightrope and may crumble at any time. However...what right do you have to do this?"

“…”

At this time, everyone had no idea what to say. It seemed that their brains were unable to react to the huge amount of information contained in these words.

"This world not only belongs to you short-lived humans, but also to us undead. However, you are the only ones who can decide the future of this world. Don't you think it's ridiculous? So, we, the Umbrella Protection Team, launched a plan..."

Speaking of this, Zi Teng's smile became even brighter.

"…That's 'Purification'."

"To put it bluntly, isn't it murder?! You bastards!!"

The blonde zombie was not as dull as the others. She waved the crowbar in her hand and roared loudly. However, Zi Teng looked at her and shook her finger gently.

"NONONO, you don't understand at all. We, the Umbrella Protection Team, did not release the virus, nor did we kill anyone. In fact, what we released was just a catalyst..."

"catalyst?"

"Yes, this catalyst is what we researched. It will activate the 'God's gift' in the human body, allowing these dormant cells to wake up again. In this way, those who successfully awaken the 'God's gift' cells will become our companions, yes, just like you..."

Shido looked at Li Mi again, and the fanatical look in his eyes made Li Mi take a half step back.

"Those who cannot awaken the 'God's Gift' will become failures like this... They are just failures. But what does it matter? The dinosaurs once dominated the earth, but they also became extinct. And now, it is the turn of these short-lived species. When they die, this world will become a world ruled by us undead... And we, the Umbrella, will turn this world into a paradise on earth!!"

Having said that, Shido extended his hand to Reiya again.

"So, my compatriots, come with me and join Umbrella. Here, you don't need to hide your identity, and you don't need to worry about whether you will be arrested or killed one day. This is the base camp of us undead, and you are also one of us..."

However, what surprised Shido was that Reiya, who had just shown an expression of helplessness, was now staring at her coldly. Then, she turned her head and looked at the blonde girl beside her.

"...Sister Xia Shi, is this all right?"

"Yes, Sister Reiya."

Xia Shi nodded, then she raised her hand.

"It seems that what Brother Fang Zheng said is right. As long as the enemy boss feels that he has a great advantage, he will tell everything..."

As Xia Shi spoke, the sky began to surge, and countless dark clouds emerged from it, mixed with lightning and covering the entire sky.

"And now, we know everything, so..."

Xia Shi raised his right hand and clenched it tightly.

"Psychic Storm!!"

The next moment, along with Xia Shi’s shouts, countless shining silver snakes roared down from the clouds, dyeing the entire world pale.
