Chapter 89: Survival or Death

"Then, let's take action!"

Zhang Xuan's gaze was clear and bright.

Even in such an environment, he still possessed a clear goal and plan.

As he walked forward, the Sword Qi around his body seeming to have eyes of its own, killing one zombie after another on the spot, he said in a deep voice: "To save the Shi Jie, one must first save Raccoon City; we must stifle the virus leaking out of Raccoon City as much as possible and not let it spread."

"Relying on the strength of just the two of us is completely insufficient; we must borrow the strength of more people."

"But in the current situation, who would help us?"

"The government, of course."

"The government is worth jack shit!"

Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment before he remembered that this was not in Huaxia, but in the Beautiful Country.

Huaxia bears infinite responsibility for its many citizens; whether a child is lost, a Wallet is lost, or even if there are no vegetables at home, one can look for Officer Policeman, but it is not like that in the Beautiful Country.

All police and related personnel are on a contract basis, and they do not have much sense of responsibility.

The life and death of many residents is not their first priority; their first priority is to protect themselves well, and at a time like this, the local government officials might be the ones running the fastest.

Hmm, no, it's not "might," it's 100% certain they will be the first to run out of Raccoon City; if Umbrella drops a nuclear bomb, they will definitely leave first, and they might even get notified.

Therefore, taking the initiative to find government-related personnel is completely unfeasible; when it comes to strategy, Zhang Xuan is very capable, but when it comes to understanding the government of the Beautiful Country, he couldn't catch up to Alice even with a whip.

However, Zhang Xuan pondered slightly, yet he did not give up on related measures, merely turning toward another direction.

"Then let's go to the police station first, find a certain number of personnel, and have the relevant police station staff—or rather, those with a certain amount of courage—follow us to act, then find the radio and television station, and get on live television."

Alice had recovered a little by this time and decisively followed Zhang Xuan's line of thought.

"You mean for us to directly broadcast the relevant zombie data and reaction situations to the many citizens? And the nuclear bomb that will come soon?"

Zhang Xuan nodded and then shook his head: "Tell them how to deal with zombies, how to avoid being hunted by zombies, and just make sure they don't get hurt by zombies."

"As for information related to the nuclear bomb, no need to tell them!"

Alice was silent for a moment and nodded; if the information related to the nuclear bomb were told to the other party, the other party would have no measures to change it and it would only cause panic; rather than that, it is better to solve the crisis in front of them first.

And Zhang Xuan was calmly pondering how to kill the zombies related to Raccoon City cleanly.

It is funny to say, but he had once seen corresponding response and handling measures in related Q&A situations on Bihu.

And Bihu indeed had detailed answers regarding this aspect.

Dealing with zombies on a scale is actually not difficult, provided there is modern firepower support.

And when it comes to firepower intensity, the Beautiful Country in modern society is the world's top; the firepower intensity of their civilians is fiercer than that of many small countries.

As long as one can correctly organize a team, given that zombies lack intelligence and have slow mobility, one wouldn't even need the mysterious and unfathomable True Qi inside Zhang Xuan's body to attack; just by following the 18th or 19th-century firing squad formation, one could beat the zombie horde clean.

The threat of zombies is actually not strong; at the very least, zombies at the current stage are not strong to an incomprehensible degree.

Wanting to change the current situation is not too difficult; just change it step by step moving forward.

"If the current chaos continues and there is not enough armed force to suppress the related zombie virus, it will soon spread throughout Raccoon City; we must organize. As long as we can organize hundreds of people to restore order within a certain area, we can solve most of the problems..."

Zhang Xuan was very confident about all of this.

The zombie virus is not airborne; it requires direct contact between humans and zombies, and it also requires the zombie to scratch a person to be infectious; just on this point alone, there are too many solutions.

He had, after all, experienced stricter virus screening and prevention.

While speaking, the two had already arrived at the local police station.

The police station had not completely fallen into chaos and still maintained the current environment.

The state was even considered quite good; although "zero-dollar shopping" had already begun in many areas inside the city, even the craziest individuals would not start zero-dollar shopping when no large-scale problems had appeared at the police station.

Raccoon City's police station could directly mobilize helicopters, after all.

Sweeping away the relevant zombies along the way, Zhang Xuan brought Alice and walked directly into the police station.

The interior of the police station was also a bit chaotic; there was blood on the walls, bullet holes at the entrance, and Zhang Xuan also saw a tall black man covered in tattoos lying not far away.

"It seems there are muddled individuals at any time."

Looking closely, there were needle marks on the black man's arm, and the veins on his left hand were a bit hard to see; compared to his right hand, it appeared quite obvious.

"Looks like he did too much flour, a bit high!"

After making a snide remark, Zhang Xuan casually added a strike of True Qi, hitting the black man's brain and stirring it into a paste to avoid this thing turning into a zombie again shortly after.

"Stop!"

Before they had gone deep into the police station, a white police officer with a face full of caution roared.

At such a tense moment, the other party did not directly use American-style iaido; he glanced at Alice, who was dressed in a red dress, then looked at the yellow-skinned Zhang Xuan, focusing on the skin exposed on both of them and their related complexions.

Discovering that Zhang Xuan and Alice's conditions did not seem to have too many problems, it made him relax slightly, but he still shouted: "Strangers, leave here; this is not a place you should come to!"

Facing Zhang Xuan, he was quite relaxed, but when looking at Alice, his expression was slightly nervous; after all, Alice had just stripped a set of tactical gear from that mercenary squad, with grenades slung at her waist and a long gun on her back, looking quite capable.

If it weren't for the fact that Alice was not holding a gun, the officer would have already opened fire at this time.

"I have no malice, but time is tight!"

Zhang Xuan swept his gaze, and the pistol in the other party's hand dropped directly to the ground, and the person also froze in place, unable to move.

Such an action immediately made the other party let out a terrified scream, and Zhang Xuan casually pointed at his Dumb Point from a distance.

"I hope you are a bit quieter; you shouting like this will attract zombies, and even if it doesn't attract zombies, it is not good for the neighbors next door to complain."

After teasing him, Zhang Xuan only unsealed his relevant acupoints when passing by him; the other party ran toward the interior of the police station with a face full of terror.

And Zhang Xuan followed behind unhurriedly; any individual who pointed a gun at him would be casually poked in the relevant acupoints by him.

Reaching the level of Outer Scene, in the eyes of those who have never come into contact with martial arts, Zhang Xuan's movements were like a God; with one glance, people would be unable to move and unable to speak.

In a higher-level world, Zhang Xuan's cultivation might not count for much, but in such a technological world, in a world without extraordinary abilities, his strength and realm were almost invincible, like a God.

Following the terrified and uneasy police officer all the way, Zhang Xuan directly found the highest person in charge here, the local police chief.

The act of half-threatening and half-displaying his abilities caused all the many people in the entire police station to gather here.

Facing a pile of heavily armed police, Zhang Xuan did not have any worry or fear; on the contrary, the many police officers looked at Zhang Xuan as if they were looking at one of the Gods and Demons.

"What exactly are you trying to do? You devil!"

A police officer, having been subjected to Zhang Xuan's methods and filled with terror and unease, screamed at this moment.

Zhang Xuan faced them with a smile.

"I am neither a God nor a devil, just an ordinary person who came here not to deliberately show off my power, but to help you."

"To be precise, I want to save you, and at the same time save the entire city."

"Nonsense, Raccoon City is living just fine, why would it need you to save it? Perhaps it is only after you, this devil, arrived that it needed saving."

Even though his life and death were in the hands of another, the police chief still stiffened his neck to retort at this moment.

Zhang Xuan smiled without a word, while on the other side, Alice had already manipulated the relevant equipment to project the situation beneath the Hive onto the large screen in front of them, and was also displaying various related research records of the Umbrella Corporation.

File after file, experiment after experiment with rigorous wording and tight organization, along with those pictures of experimental personnel, and the terrifying, miserable state of the Umbrella Corporation's underground facility, made everyone present stretch their necks and widen their eyes.

And Zhang Xuan introduced the relevant situation unhurriedly.

"Haven't you often seen various people coming down with 'madness' these days? This is the reason. I prefer to call this kind of walking-corpse-like person a zombie."

"This... this is impossible."

A young police officer could not believe it.

And the many older police officers, led by the police chief, had their expressions turn complex.

The United States has a criminal record in this regard; in the early years, they once directly injected syphilis into black college students without informing them, while secretly recording their relevant physical data, only for it to be exposed decades later.

They even once fed children radioactive cookies in order to collect relevant human data.

They also once carried out the large-scale inoculation of vaccines that had not been fully developed, leading to large-scale deaths among the population.

Later, in Zhang Xuan's memory, many people in the United States refused to get vaccinated on a large scale; it was not just anti-intellectualism, but actually had a certain historical precedent.

Many of the young police officers found it hard to believe, while the older police officers felt that the overall event was indeed likely to be true.

What's more, the evidence and documents presented by the other party were not fabricated based on a rumor or lie, but were a whole set of detailed documents, as well as video materials.

It would be difficult for an individual to create such rumors, not to mention that such terrifying zombies are now active in every street and alley.

"The virus leaked from the Umbrella Corporation's research base, thus causing the current situation. The infected people will all turn into walking corpses, knowing only how to gnaw on flesh and blood, with only a craving for flesh and blood in their minds. Once bitten or scratched by them, one will also be infected and become a walking corpse..."

"And now the virus is spreading uncontrollably in Raccoon City, so I need your help."

"What can we possibly do? Facing such a large-scale virus leak, it requires the federal government to take action; we simply cannot turn the situation around."

Quite a few people present had become uneasy and wanted to leave early.

Facing this kind of terrifying virus, they did not directly muster the courage and confidence to resist. After all, they only made a few thousand dollars a month; there was no need to risk their lives. Being bitten or scratched slightly could lead to death, and they were unwilling to do it.

Zhang Xuan remained unmoved, only saying calmly: "This is a disaster that no one can hide from. You have also seen the situation of the virus spreading, but you haven't seen it clearly enough. Look..."

Zhang Xuan reached out, and a bird with blood-red eyes was directly captured by him from the outside using True Qi.

A group of people were shocked by this miraculous feat of his, while those with more agile minds saw the blood-red eyes of the bird in Zhang Xuan's hand, and its constant attempts to crazily peck at Zhang Xuan.

Their expressions turned ashen at once, understanding what this implied.

"Birds have been infected too?"

The police chief felt unease, an unease that even made his body start to tremble.

The distance birds can travel is terrifyingly large, even capable of crossing thousands of miles just to go to a warm place. Therefore, once birds are infected, it means that the relevant virus may already be far beyond Raccoon City, and may have spread even further.

And this also means that animals similar to birds might also be infected: rabbits, dogs, and the seemingly ubiquitous rats.

Zhang Xuan looked up, and following this hint, the expressions of everyone present changed. Many realized what it meant for the birds to be infected, and Zhang Xuan replied calmly: "You guessed right."

"The spread of the virus is already unstoppable and will continue to spread. If we don't clear out a Forbidden Zone in advance, then in the future, everyone will be plagued by this virus, and all will die, with no one having a chance."

The expressions of all the police officers in the station changed.

The police chief had experienced more, and at this time could still barely maintain his composure, pointing to a pattern on the screen and saying: "Doesn't this document say that there is already a relevant antidote? Where is the antidote? Where is the Umbrella Corporation's antidote?"

Alice, who was beside Zhang Xuan, took a tube of green liquid from her pocket, and Zhang Xuan smiled and pointed to that tube of liquid, saying: "This is the antidote for the T-virus, but as its principle has stated, it is only useful before one turns into a zombie. Once the virus enters the brain, then even with more antidotes, there is nothing that can be done."

"You have no way out. Either the virus dies completely, or you die completely. Survival or death, you choose."
