175: Chapter 175 The Entire Internet is Shocked: Is This a Sci-Fi Movie?
The screen turned black.
A prompt appeared: "Streamer has left."
Was that it?
Countless people stared blankly at the black screen, their mouths agape from extreme shock, reflected in the dark surface.
Three seconds of dead silence.
Immediately after, the comments flooded in like a broken dam, filling the black screen completely.
"Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! Can someone pinch me and tell me this isn't a dream!"
"What was that just now? That was the US military's special forces, right? They were just torn apart by hand?"
"This is definitely a sci-fi movie! Umbrella Corporation is actually a film studio, right?"
"The special effects are amazing! Which Hollywood company made this? Industrial Light & Magic or Weta Digital?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it must be a movie! Those monsters look too anti-human; how could they possibly be real!"
When humans face things that completely exceed their cognition, their first reaction is often to refuse to believe it.
They desperately searched their minds for reasonable explanations, trying to force the bloody and cruel massacre they had just witnessed into the category of a "sci-fi blockbuster trailer."
It seemed that only by doing this could they dare to close their eyes and sleep tonight.
The trending lists on Twitter, Facebook, and Weibo were instantly washed in blood.

#Chen Yuan Hollywood Blockbuster#
#Hyper-Realistic Biochemical Monsters#
But this self-hypnosis didn't last long.
Ten minutes later, a top Hollywood special effects director with tens of millions of followers posted a long article.
He had spent the night analyzing the livestream footage recorded by netizens frame by frame.
"Stop kidding yourselves, guys."
"I used the most professional software to detect the light and shadow, physical collision rebounds, and the trajectories of blood splatter."
"There are no traces of CG rendering."
"The muscle stretching and skeletal movement of those monsters completely conform to the laws of physics, yet they transcend existing biological structures."
The special effects director's conclusion was like a basin of ice water poured ruthlessly over everyone's heads.
"That wasn't special effects. That was real."
"That Chen Yuan, he really does keep a group of biochemical monsters capable of tearing special forces soldiers apart!"
The tide of public opinion on the internet shifted instantly.
"My God! Does that mean we just watched a real, one-sided massacre in the livestream?"
"Those people who got headshot were real living American soldiers?!"
"This is crazy, this is crazy! What exactly is Chen Yuan's background?!"
A well-known hardcore military blogger also started a livestream shortly after.
With red eyes, he pointed at the frozen image on the screen showing the apache attack helicopter and the remains of the special forces soldiers on the ground.
"Stop guessing. That is the US Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment's night stealth Black Hawk. Those lying on the ground are the top-tier Delta Force."
"These politicians have kicked a real iron plate."
"The individual combat capability displayed by Umbrella Corporation has already turned the rules of modern warfare into a piece of waste paper!"
"You shoot them with armor-piercing rounds, and you can't even break their skin. They can flip your armored vehicle with a single swipe of their claws."
"What's the point of fighting this?!"
Panic.
Extreme panic began to spread wildly among ordinary citizens and the top brass of various countries.
A private armed force not controlled by any nation, possessing a biochemical army far exceeding current military industry levels.
What does he want to do?
Does he want to rule the world?
And at the center of this vortex of panic.
San Verde, Elysium Manor.
Chen Yuan casually tossed the completely ruined selfie stick into the grass nearby.
"Boss, the announcement has been sent out."
Victor was wiping cold sweat like a waterfall from his forehead, his voice still trembling.
He had just seen those usually high-and-mighty special forces soldiers torn into shreds with his own eyes.
Now the air was full of a sickening smell of blood.
"All major global media and defense websites have simultaneously received our statement that we are taking over global high-end security services."
"Well done."
Chen Yuan took a pristine white handkerchief from his pocket and leisurely wiped a drop of blood he had accidentally gotten on his glove.
"With this good show as an endorsement, I think even if we increase our security quotes tenfold in the future, those Middle East tycoons and European financial magnates will be fighting to pay the bill."
"But Boss..."
Victor swallowed, pointing at the still restless sky above.
"We've caused such a huge stir, The Pentagon must be furious. What if they jump the gun and actually drop a nuke?"
Chen Yuan laughed contemptuously.
He looked up at the night sky, his gaze so deep it seemed to pierce through the spy satellites hidden in orbit.
"A nuke? They wouldn't dare."
"The First Daughter is still having sweet dreams in our guest room. As long as she is here for one day, Elysium Manor is the safest place in the United States."
"Besides, what they want most right now is not to destroy us."
Chen Yuan threw the dirty handkerchief onto a corpse at his feet.
"It's to do everything in their power to get the genetic samples and manufacturing technology of these monsters from our hands."
He turned and walked toward the main building.
"Have Alice arrange for people to clean this place up. I spent a fortune importing this lawn from the Netherlands; it's bad luck to have it stained with the blood of these scumbags."
Just as Chen Yuan was preparing to go back and take a hot shower.
On the internet.
Those eagle-eyed netizens who had watched the livestream recording dozens of times suddenly discovered an extremely shocking blind spot.
At the height of the massacre.
Several strange, deep blue beams of light flashed across the edge of the frame.
The beams instantly pierced through the side armor of an armored vehicle.
Leaving behind a terrifying, smooth, and melted hole.
"Holy crap! Brothers, look at 7 minutes and 12 seconds of the replay!"
"What the hell are those blue lights? Were they sprayed out of the monsters' mouths?"
"No! They were shot from the bunker of the manor's main building!"
"That kind of penetrating power and beam form is definitely not existing conventional gunpowder weapons!"
A military enthusiast asked a soul-trembling question in the forum.
"Could it be that in addition to biochemical monsters, Umbrella has even created high-energy directed-energy weapons?"
"What is that glowing weapon? A laser gun?"
