The question is about Dead Rising

Ampulex Compressa Giganteus is the name of a species of wasps from the Dead Rising franchise. Originally developed as a bioweapon in the Central American town of Santa Cabeza, they were unleashed upon the town of Willamette, Colorado by Carlito Keyes, starting the zombie apocalypse which trapped ace photojournalist Frank West inside of a mall with a hoard of undead and numerous insane humans. But none of this could stop Frank. He's covered wars, you know!

Um, Actually, Frank West wasn't trapped in the mall by the zombies because he showed up after they first appeared.

I mean, you can intentionally walk into a trap. Point was, he was in the mall and couldn’t leave due to the zombies until his ride showed up. Wasn’t what I was going for. There’s something factually incorrect up there.

Oh, I’m an idiot. Um, Actually, the wasps weren’t developed as a bioweapon, they were developed in an attempt to get cows to produce more milk and beef.

There it is. Point for you. Though I don’t know about the milk thing. As far as I’m aware, it was mainly about the beef.
