This should have been just a very inconspicuous news.
But this timing is really just right, just right when the game Resident Evil is already gaining a certain amount of popularity on the Internet.
Maybe ordinary people will not think it's a big deal when they see this news, but most of the netizens on the Internet are a group of people who watch the fun and don't think it's a big deal.
Especially in the United States, this situation is even more intense.
On the day the newspaper was published, the news quickly attracted the attention of people who were interested, and it was also very exaggerated that the end of the world was coming, and the real biochemical crisis was coming!
However, this is still in a controllable state. Most of the people who started talking about these things on the Internet are playing tricks. They were originally Resident Evil players, plus their love for this game, combined with real life, It's easy to plug in.
But some people don't know it.
And people who don't know about the game Resident Evil should occupy the majority.
I don't know if it is a national habit, but people in the United States especially like and pursue the so-called end of the world or the book of Revelation in the Bible.
There are countless similar bridges in film and television dramas, and the story of Ark is almost a household name.
There is also a saying that some Americans still think that the earth is square or flat, but the story of the Ark has always been believed to be true.
But this should just be a joke, but at this time, some people really believe in the so-called Resident Evil.
They are a group of born apocalyptic fanatics, known as the 'Doomsday Prep'
In normal times, they especially like to build shelter facilities in their own homes, and they also like to hoard various materials, and they are always sensitive to news from all over the world, and they are always worried about the end of the world.
And the newspaper news in such a region, coupled with the exaggerated descriptions of a group of meme players on the Internet, made these people believe it.
Of course they couldn't believe it directly at first, and they would also investigate the source of the news.
Then they learn that the so-called Resident Evil is a horror game.
This made them feel a little false alarm at first.
It turned out to be a horror game, it scared me to death.
However, they also became interested in this game and began to search for some information related to Resident Evil on the Internet.
It's okay not to search, but as soon as I search, I immediately break out in a cold sweat.
Up to now, the game Resident Evil has a very stable small circle. These people like to share their game experience in the official Resident Evil forum. At the same time, according to some information and story background provided by the game official The story of Resident Evil is described in words.
The content of these text descriptions is also very similar to the style of reporting work, just like the work report of government employees to their bosses.
Then these doomsday preparers saw the background introduction of these stories about Resident Evil on the Internet, and learned that there is a company called Umbrella in this world that is researching a virus that can make people crazy.
The so-called biohazard is the biochemical virus that originated from this company.
This biochemical virus spreads through liquid, making people gradually crazy, and finally completely lose their minds, and the closest people will become the most terrifying demons.
The various information gathered by players in the forum makes the setting of this game look more credible. If you don't know that this is a game, you may even mistakenly think that there is such a thing in this world now. A company, and this company is doing evil things.
But...the story setting is really too logical.
At first, these people just thought that the game Resident Evil was a story like ghosts and gods.
But I didn't expect it to be such a modern style setting.
It is precisely because of the setting of this modern style that invisibly adds a lot of credibility.
The group panicked immediately.
Shouldn't there really be a company like Umbrella in this world?
They know it's a game, but will this game be a revelation?
The producers of the game are warning people in this world in this way, telling people in the world that someone is secretly doing such evil things.
This is inevitable!
Most of the doomsday preparers are also a group of people who strongly believe in so-called conspiracy theories, and they also firmly believe that human nature will also be wiped out in the doomsday.
These people started frantically looking for any real company that could be similar to the Umbrella company in the game.
Then they felt more and more that several pharmaceutical giants were very similar to the so-called Umbrella company!
This is big news, this is incredible!
"The end is coming! The end is coming!"
These people panicked at first, and then quickly started hoarding supplies to prepare for the end of the world.
At the same time, they also used their own methods to warn the people around them, and published some of the 'truths' they thought were on the Internet.
They feel that they are also alerting everyone, just like this game.
At the beginning, the real reason in the so-called tofu nugget news news was that a guy took drugs too hard that day, made himself a lunatic, and then started to bite others. The reporter also wanted to use this news to make more readers connect with each other. The audience pays more attention to the current drug use problem of the public, but did not expect a development that was completely beyond expectations.
In the beginning, it originated from the jokes of the players. They just announced the news as a joke on their social platforms. Then, some doomsday preparers who didn't quite understand what was going on searched for the so-called 'truth'. To spread their own 'truth' to more uninformed people.
Sometimes good things don't go out, but bad things can spread thousands of miles. After this misinterpretation, the news spread layer by layer began to become more and more exaggerated.
As if Resident Evil was really coming, the state where the news was located immediately became the target of public criticism.
The residents here haven't understood what's going on, and all of a sudden, the people in their own state have become a group of zombies.
It's not over yet.
In a very short period of time, tens of thousands of people's proposals appeared on the Internet. They jointly questioned what the government was doing. Why didn't even this kind of big news come out, did they plan to hide the news?
Or is it that you guys on the top have prepared their own way, but plan to let ordinary people bear all this?
The government was confused, how could there be some hellish biochemical crisis all of a sudden?
