Unexpected choice

As I was dragged through the Veil, being unable to do anything, I saw something that I wish I didn't see.

As I looked at it, all my senses screamed at me to RUN!! Looking at it, I was scared so much, that I should've passed out, but it never happened. And, being unable to do anything, and just keep being scared, I looked at it.

And IT looked at me. I heard some sounds, and felt as I was being pushed out from it, making me feel relieved, as I was speeding up in unknown direction, but at least I was far away from it.

I don't even want to think about IT, but it's impossible not to. Even remembering IT makes me shudder.

I don't know how long I was speeding up for, and how much time I spent on trying to calm myself down. As I calmed down a little, I fell asleep, as I was extremely tired.

Waking up, I found myself on the open field, somewhere close to the sea, and I could see roads in the distance.

Trying to stand up, I barely found strength to sit. My body felt a lot of pain. I would compare it to a normal unathletic person after somehow managing to run for hundred kilometers, while using weights to train every part of the body, even eyelids.

I felt soreness, muscle aches, tiredness and many more things that I couldn't name.

I even felt my powers being overused, making me fall asleep again, after realising that I am safe.

I woke up many times, and just as many times I fell asleep again.

After a month or so, if I was not wrong, of sleeping, I finally woke up relaxed and renewed.

I finally didn't feel tiredness and exhaustion.

Only hunger, so I took out food generator, placed a 100kg food cell, and began creating different things to eat. After drinking and eating some fat and sweet food, and finishing whole food cell, I placed it back in my storage and noticed something disturbing.

I felt how storage was damaged.

Looking through the storage, I noticed that the corner with my protoss bots and robots was almost empty, leaving only AI and a materials that were not in the corner. I lost all my robots that could create safehouse in minutes.

At least I had an AI, some materials and other equipment with me.

Strangely, the opposite corner was fine, where food generators and food cell creators were placed.

Looking carefully, I noticed a crack that was almost unnoticeable. It was exactly in the corner of my storage from which things disappeared.

Oh... So, storage is not invincible and can be damaged. Fuck!

Well, let's find where I am and get back to Britain, to the fortress where I would replace most of the lost things.

Standing up, I went to the road, after wearing clothes obviously.

Getting to the road, I followed it and found the sign that made me think.

' Racoon City ' 20 km

I don't think city with name like that exists outside of a movie or a game.

I might be mistaken, let's hope that I am mistaken.

Speeding up to the city, and arriving in less than ten minutes, I went into the city.

Walking through and looking around, I took a magazine from one of the shelves and saw an article about umbrella making some kind of breakthrough in healthcare.

Placing it down, I understood that it was absolutely different world. Smartphones were in hands of many, Umbrella was really corporation, and I was in a world that would be filled with advanced mutated zombies.

At least, I definitely know that I am pretty strong. I should find some place to get my hands on money.

I don't have dollars, only certain gold coins made out of pure gold.

And maybe I had a wonderful AI that could find a way to get hands on living space.

especially considering that internet is everywhere...

hehehe.

But first thing to do would be getting access to it. hmm.

Visiting the tech shop, I saw smartphones everywhere.

AI couldn't just connect to WiFi because it didn't know the correct type of knowledge about it, so I went out the shop, where no cameras could see me, and went invisible.

While invisible, I went back and took some random laptop from the shop. Getting out, I went to the closest cafe and connected to it's WiFi.

Connecting to it, I took tablet out, and as AI could connect to it, it's camera was used to read the needed information about frequency and other things required for connection.

As AI was extremely advanced, and Tablet was the only tech that resembled this world's, AI began correcting parameters of tablet and finally connected to the internet.

Connecting to it through the tablet required to keep ot outside all the time, so I will have to find a way to create smaller transmitter.

As AI connected to the internet, it immediately began collecting information and creating identity for me.

Obviously, AI made me Russian, who had citizenship in many other countries. Legally.

How? I don't know.

My name didn't change, only my money balance did.

Now, as minutes passed, AI finally accessed government network and created a realistic story of my life.

Nothing special. Lived on Russia, had average and good parents ( obviously choice fell on already dead people who had no relatives ). After their death, I as my story said, began travelling the world. As I had buildings in multiple countries, and was lending places to people, I had no troubles with money.

As for how to make sure that no one noticed my sudden appearance and sudden change of ownership? Buildings were not from big cities, and were partially nonexistent. They only appeared in the database with all the new information about proper taxes and people lending the spaces for some kind of things.

Concerts, parties, weddings and other things.

And it was all done in less then an hour.

All the money I received, all the people, all the fake people.

Now, I got access to my bank account from laptop, and saw the number of money on it.

69.069.069 Euro.

You know, I am currently pretty rich. Extremely Rich. Other accounts had less money, but were in millions.

I had accounts in at least seven different banks and each one of them had at least couple if millions. Making my total money to be over 100 million dollars.

Obviously my sudden appearance will most probably attract attention, but by their information, I always existed and paid all my taxes.

So, I hope they will just discard their suspicion until outbreak happens.

Buying myself a phone online, and paying for it, I returned laptop to it's place in the shop and proceeded to get my newly bought phone from the same shop.

Convenient.

Getting the phone, I began trying to think of a way to create a safe zone for myself, where I could live comfortably in the future, when almost no one would be able to even find a working smartphone.

Talking with AI, it was decided that the island that was under my name, and had a pretty good amount of good land, would be one of few places for me.

Another one would be on the closest shore to the island, on the mainland, creating a safe place from which resources would be delivered on an island.

Other places included a land in Racoon city, where previously school existed, but was abandoned for some reason, and a huge ship that would mostly be self-sufficient.

After AI made all the orders and arranged things, I went to check on school that soon would be removed and replaced by underground bunker, protected even from direct atomic bomb, and a small factory to create robots.

Obviously it required much more money than I had, so some 'unknown' investments appeared and provided me with necessary money.

Convenient luck.

On the illegal part of the business though, I would have to act by myself too. I would need many things that were illegal to own for Normal humans.

Gunpowder, laser diodes that were too strong to be allowed to be sold, certain chemical elements that are not available on the market, and much much more.

I will have to get many things by myself, as in these things not all the time I could just pay from bank account or order a delivery to certain address.

As days passed, and illegal deals were confirmed, I became happy that some things were available for delivery.

But for things like huge amounts of dangerous chemicals, that were required for certain material creation, I had to meet the sellers.

Thankfully, everything was not like in the movies, and no one cared about anything else then money.

Obviously, faces were hidden by both parties.

After that, AI began trying to invade Umbrella inner network, but it was mainly disconnected from the internet, and only some outside and legal things were, like hospital for kids, or shelter for animals.

They had public part accessible, while nothing illegal was connected to outside.

Not knowing when shit will begin, AI began ordering creation of satellites that would provide the internet for it. Sadly, it would take time.

After that, it began spreading it's influence everywhere, so it could do anything at any moment.

You know, AI that was created by advanced race is much better than anything humans can do. Especially in this world.

Getting in touch with manufacturers, AI began ordering different parts from different people. They all were being delivered to the storages under my name.

After that, I had to begin working on first simplistic robots, as they would construct much more complicated ones.

Thankfully, ordering a simple computer is easy, and any detail could just be ordered online.

Connecting computer to the internet, I began waiting for heavy stuff to arrive.

These huge machines would create some difficult and small parts necessary for robots.

For now, I decided to check on to my bunker in Racoon city.

Getting there, I saw that everything was peaceful and people were working hard on digging a big and deep hole.

Looking at it, I decided that I wanted more bunkers and storages, so I would be able to relax in any part of the world.

I don't want to be arrogant, but I think I can easily take over this world in few months. Unlike Harry Potter world, where I wanted to live peacefully in, I decided that I would want to have control over things. And having internet made it easier for me.

After a month, heavy machinery arrived at the main storage. Placing everything down, workers began finalizing and connecting every sensitive part to where they belong.

Finishing their work, they left, allowing me to download necessary schematics and begin the creation of necessary things.

Unlike satellites, these parts were too advanced to be released outside, just like some small parts of satellites that would be created later.

While working on creating the robotic hands that would be able to move extremely precisely, I received information of first sightings of infected inside racoon city, where Bunker was fat from being finished.

Uhh. Fck. Well, it was expected. AI already sent information about these things to police and army, just to slow down the spread of the infection.

For now, as AI had absolute control over the internet, Police and army sent some people to investigate and stop these things, while I continued loading schematics in every machine.

Why can't I just connect them to one computer? Ughh.

I even have to calibrate them, so everything would be perfect.

After another month, as Police and Army were slowing spread down, as AI was bypassing certain orders, I finally was finishing assembling first mechanical hand, that would be able to construct everything else by itself.

Yes. Two Months it took to be able to create first hand. I am no genius in construction and without experience, I had troubles while doing things.

Thankfully, I had AI helping me. And as I finally finished it and connected the hand to the computer, I was free.

Looking at the speed at which it was moving parts, and precision with which it was doing it, I began thinking about creating artificial hands for myself.

Only if I didn't lose my nanocostume. Everything would've been better. Easier.

Getting out of the building, I went to check on the bunker, as it would be the place where I would be enjoying my time for a while.

Unlike previous situation, hole already had floor and walls that were solid, THICC, and sturdy. Now, workers were constructing upper floors for it, while infected began spreading more and more.

Unlike my thoughts, police and army were unable to hold it for indefinite amount of time. They began giving their position and allowed it to spread more. This led to increased amount of army being sent in here. Just to give more time for creating first Khaydarin generator that would be able to support anything I will need.

After another month, as I was walking out of KFC with a couple of baskets, I received information that bunker skeleton was finished, and now it was time to work on interior and self sufficiency.

Air filters were installed, doors were being delivered, all the dust and dirt were being removed from inside, walls were getting covered by insulation.

Bunker would have five main sections. And as hundreds of people were working on it, it was being done so fast. You know, if you pay enough, they would not waste your time.

Bottom, fifth section, have two floors. On them, plants and fish would be kept and grown.

Fourth section would have all the machinery required to maintain air, pressure, temperature, energy and all the necessary things. It had one floor for itself, as it didn't need much space.

Third section was storage. It was the biggest one and had four floors for itself. It would be used to store everything that might be required in the future.

Second section was Living quarters. It had two floors and had many things that were necessary in daily life. Also, artificial garden is planned to be in there.

First section is for entertainment. It had three floors with some of them connected, so ceiling in some places is higher. There was a plan for a cinema, computer room, aqua park, running field, gym, and much more.

Every section had it's small storages for miscellaneous things, so you wouldn't have to get to the storage section every time.

But it all is just a plan. It would need time for them to finish it.

And as I still had no army made out of robots, I decided to go on vacation at the sea.

You know. Beach... Women in bikini... you know what I am taking about.

Flying to the Bahamas, I rented one of the hotel's best places and went on the beach.

Laying down under the sun, I began thinking.

Should I stop the spreading virus or not? Is it even possible to stop?

In the next week, first fully working robot was built and now it was time to create a generator, otherwise these robots would have to be charged for long periods of time.

Even though I warned government about tge danger, and even bypassed them to make sure police and army would work to stop the virus, it still broke out of control, making it all harder and harder for workers to work on my bunker in the city.

Even though storages ate outside the city, they still was working from city's power grid.

After another week, workers fled the town, city was being locked down and they didn't want to stay in here. At least they installed the doors and air filters. Well, I'll have to do everything else by using robots, and it would be much more advanced.

As they didn't arrive at work, all the construction materials were still outside the bunker, making me frown.

I won't move them myself.

Definitely will leave it for later.

As for where Ii was currently living? It was in one of the skyscrapers, on the top floor. I bought the whole floor and reinforced it with metal doors that were enough to stop bullets fired from sniper rifle.

Windows were replaced with bullet-proof ones. Inside I had generator installed and a lot of fuel for it. Also, a lot of food. Computer, gaming consoles, satellite TV, server with tons of stuff, and a door to the roof.

Door was obviously reinforced. On the roof I had helicopter and a couple of boxes with weapons. You know, I might want to feel how it is to shoot zombies using these primitive guns and smell the gunpowder.

Going on the roof, I opened Grill and turned it on. As it began heating up, I took two big steak pieces and began preparing them.

After preparing them, I placed them on the Grill while watching from the roof down, at the panic and growing number of infected people.

Should I go and get my hands on the samples?

" AI, did you find where they keep virus and antivirus? " I asked, as I turned the meat, and looked at the crispy meat.

" Yes. Three hours ago I received and intercepted order to infiltrate and destroy them. I changed it to infiltrate and deliver it to a different location. " AI responded.

" Good. When will they go there? " I asked.

" In three hours they should be infiltrating. By my calculations they would be able to deliver the samples in seven to ten hours. " AI replied, as I took steaks off from Grill and turned it off.

Why did I cook the food? Well, spices and cooking definitely increases satisfaction from eating, especially compared to raw food.

After that, I sat on the corner of the skyscraper and proceeded to eat them and enjoy the scenery. I even had cameras and drones record everything.

The more chaotic the situation, the less careful I should be. The only thing I don't want to happen is this town to get bombarded by nuclear weapons or artillery. So, all such commands would be interrupted and stopped.

Obviously governments already noticed something wrong, especially American, as they were affected the most. But even if they noticed, They could do nothing with it. I had them under control, and all their attempts at taking control back were stopped and they were notified that Resistance is Futile. And they should keep to themselves.

They didn't take these news easily, but all the attempts were intercepted.

As I ate second steak, I was not satisfied and proceeded to make two more.

~ In the night. ~

As I was enjoying watching walking dead, I received information that team retrieved samples and would arrive in thirty minutes. Obviously, they wouldn't know that I am not even sure about who I should call myself as. For them, I think I will be just a person to receive the package. That's it. After that, they would be given a choice.

They could go to their base, or stay here with me and relax. You know, I might want a company of living people. Sometimes.

sadly, they decided to move out the moment they delivered the package, and as I met them not directly under the building with my helicopter, they wouldn't even know who I was. We all were masked. Just to be safe in a place filled with infected people.

On my way back I finally saw something that I expected sooner. A mutated version of zombie, that spat at my face in a futile attempt at infecting me. As a result, it received a shot in the head from me, using the psi energy, frying it's head and melting few zombies behind it.

whoops. Overkill. Should use human weapons, at least it would be interesting. For now.

On the next day, as I was sitting and eating at the same place, I jumped down and stopped myself before landing, so I wouldn't break the road.

Walking on the street, all the infected tried attacking me, but they couldn't even approach me I kept them away using force that was strengthened after I arrived here, and I just pushed them away while walking to the shop, to get myself some snacks. While they are still fresh.

In my possession I had twenty capsules of virus and antivirus. Should I drink one? Or wait for AI to inspect it just to be sure?

Yes. I shouldn't risk it. I will wait.
