Meanwhile, at the city hospital.
This was tricky...
Kevin shut off the communicator and leaned against the lab bench, his brow tightly furrowed as he mechanically tossed coffee candies into his mouth and chewed.
The commander spread out a map of Toko City before him, cross-referencing it with his notes as he simulated the situation.
The team members beside him tacitly kept their mouths shut, quietly awaiting Kevin's final answer.
Compared to the Biohazard Crisis in Raccoon City, Toko City's greatest problem could be summed up in one word—change!
Because the Calamity Virus was tangled and intermingled with other strains, Kevin could not rely on foreknowledge to devise a fixed strategy.
Thus, the safest approach was to adapt to circumstances.
Now, the forces involved with the Calamity Virus and the sources of survival on all sides had gradually become clear.
The time to break the deadlock had come!
After half an hour of deep thought, the commander rubbed his throbbing brow, pushed aside the map, and looked up with bright, excited eyes.
"The [Aegis Shield] will probably dissipate at five in the afternoon on the seventh day. It is currently two in the afternoon on the third day, and we still have to clean up the mess Soichiro Takagi left behind..."
"So the only days we can truly use are probably the fourth, fifth, and sixth days..."
"Time is tight. I have decided that we will split into three groups and act separately. Everyone must reach Tennōzu High School and regroup there no later than the evening of the fifth day!"
"I do not need any promises. Just remember this first: every one of us is an essential link. If anything goes wrong anywhere, we are all screwed..."
"Everyone, are you ready to go crazy and play for big stakes?"
