Chapter 453 Nuclear level, aftermath
"Can you see the red sky behind me? That's the abandoned Raccoon City!"
"According to unconfirmed news, the missile is an atomic bomb. If all this is true, then this city with a population of more than 100,000 will become a dead city..."
"Washington has not yet made any response to what happened in Raccoon City..."
October 1, 1998, is destined to be a day worth remembering all over the world.
On this day, the U.S. government launched an atomic bomb into a city on its own territory, razing the entire city to the ground!
Along with the city, more than 100,000 zombies were wiped out, as well as a few survivors.
Although the virus was prevented from spreading to other cities, the danger was temporarily relieved.
However, the people and countries who did not know the truth did not know what illness Uncle Sam suddenly fell into and actually blew up one of their cities.
In an instant, the news of the nuclear bomb explosion spread throughout the world, shocking everyone.
Everyone turned their attention to America on the other side of the ocean.
The funniest thing is that some conspiracy theory experts also believe that this is a precursor to the United States planning to start a third world war...
Just when everyone was speculating on how many drugs the Americans had taken and how crazy they were to do such a crazy thing, the White House in Washington held an emergency press conference to discuss the nuclear explosion in Raccoon City.
to respond.
However, at the press conference, the president, who appeared in person, failed to satisfy the public's doubts and just tried to muddle through with vague answers.
At the end of the press conference that day, the White House announced that the current president would resign and step down!
Obviously, the commander-in-chief who couldn't answer any questions was thrown out to attract fire and be used as a scapegoat.
While the U.S. government was operating a huge state machine to investigate the Raccoon City incident, some unconfirmed gossip was quickly spread by interested parties through the Internet, television, newspapers and other media:
"Shocked! The unspeakable secret of Raccoon City and Umbrella Corporation?!"
"The truth behind the nuclear explosion, Fox reveals it exclusively for you!"
...
The American people, driven by the media, immediately took up their power to safeguard freedom and democracy and held various large-scale demonstrations across the United States, condemning and boycotting umbrella companies while demanding justice from the government.
What's more, they went directly to the Umbrella Company's U.S. branch building and smashed the door to pieces, forcing the U.S. branch to be temporarily closed.
Just as the whole incident was making a fuss, the U.S. government's investigation into the Raccoon City incident was also proceeding in an orderly manner.
Due to the radiation produced by the nuclear explosion, the investigation department was unable to send a large number of personnel into the city for investigation. The investigators could only temporarily focus on the survivors of Raccoon City.
One week after the nuclear siege of Raccoon City, under the pressure of public opinion, the US government held another emergency press conference.
At the press conference, in addition to announcing that the Vice President had taken office as acting president, the preliminary investigation progress of the Raccoon City incident was also announced to the public!
At the press conference, Dr. Nathaniel Bard, the former director of biochemical research at the Raccoon City branch of the Umbrella Company, became the center of attention.
He angrily revealed the truth that the Umbrella Company had conducted biochemical experiments in Raccoon City, causing the virus to leak and spread throughout the city, and presented some research documents and data in public.
These documents and data are part of the evidence that Lu Qi submitted to the US government through Gill!
This evidence, coupled with the testimony of witnesses such as Bud, Lyon, and Gill, directly hammered the Umbrella Company to death.
A few days later, after investigation and trial, the newly-appointed U.S. President directly issued an emergency decree, announcing that all commercial activities of the umbrella company would be restricted indefinitely.
Although the Umbrella Company has a decisive influence on the politics and economy of the United States. Almost all upper class people have more or less dealings with the Umbrella Company.
However, in this case where the evidence is solid, they are not willing to help wipe their butts as before. Instead, they all avoid it, wishing to throw all the evidence of their previous contacts into their own toilets.
The United Nations also made the same judgment, uniting major economies to impose comprehensive sanctions on umbrella companies!
As soon as the decree came out, the stocks of the umbrella companies that had started to plummet plummeted, plummeting!
After the preliminary investigation was completed, the survivors who were temporarily gathered together by the government were able to contact their families and return to their respective homes.
Because of its fancy for Lyon's skills, the government offered him an olive branch and recruited him into the Federal Secret Service to become a reserve agent.
Young Shirley and Bud were protected by the government; Claire and Jill traveled to Europe together to find the missing Chris.
The three police officers, Marvin, David, and Elliot, were either transferred to other places or retired early according to their respective requests.
The Kendos and their daughter received compensation from the government and received a large amount of money to start a new life in another place.
Among all the people, if we want to say that the luckiest one is still Leon.
In just a few days, Lyon went from a rookie police officer in a small city to a federal Secret Service agent, setting a record for the fastest promotion.
However, having personally experienced the Raccoon City Incident, their fate was involved with the Resident Evil crisis.
Over and over again, I don’t know if this is luck or misfortune...
It is worth mentioning that due to Lu Qi's advance instructions, no one mentioned his existence.
Therefore, the U.S. government has no idea that a gangster who borrowed the name of the CIA secretly made many efforts in the Raccoon City incident...
The truth about the Raccoon City incident was revealed, and the world knew what happened in Raccoon City and the role that the Umbrella Corporation played in it.
Among them, naturally, they also include the three Carlos members of the U.B.C.S. unit under the Umbrella Company.
It wasn't until this moment that the three of them realized that what Lu Qi said when he left Raccoon City was all true!
Knowing that the Umbrella Company was such an evil employer, the three of them did not hesitate to grab some friends who still had good intentions and left U.B.C.S. together.
For this reason, they even went so far as to violate the signed employment contract and pay a large amount of liquidated damages.
However, for them, working for such an employer is simply not worth it!
