In this situation, getting into the Police Station is much more difficult than going against the current. So, Green Arrow Duck didn't join the fun and block other people's escape routes, but instead paid attention to the condition of his temporary companion.

Although Alice was unarmed inside the police station, her fiery temper flared as she grabbed a telephone from the table and viciously smashed it against the back of a Zombies's head, instantly incapacitating it.

Jill Valentine, who had just entered, didn't hesitate to shoot the person who had turned into Zombies. A headshot, accurate and swift. With someone firing the first shot, the other police officers had no more reservations. Outside, these police officers would dare to empty their magazines on sight; inside the police station, how could they not dare to do so!

Most police officers don't realize they need to draw their guns and fire, simply because they're not used to doing so in their own territory. They don't even consider that shooting can solve the problem.

Once the use of weapons was permitted, the Zombies still able to move inside the police station... or those who didn't know how to escape and instead attacked other living people, were all wiped out in a short time.

As for whether there were any accidental shots, they are all being treated as Zombies for now. They don't know how to escape, they don't know how to use tools, and they always want to bite people. Even if this guy is still normal, it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to take a shot in this situation.

However, Alice and Jill Valentine, the two main characters of the movie and game, meet for the first time earlier than expected; they don't meet later in the Church, but at the police station.

After helping to clear the Zombies from the police station, the two left with a group of veteran police officers.

Upon leaving the police station, Alice didn't follow the officers but instead went to the Green Arrow Duck. This action drew more attention to the humanoid Duck Plushie.

The sudden appearance of a human-sized Duck Plushie at the time of the biological disaster certainly surprised many police officers.

Jill Valentian followed. "You just said you were going to resolve this crisis? Is that right?"

Although he wanted to explain that finding the Antidote and resolving the crisis were not the same thing, because the Umbrella was still in place; to completely resolve the crisis, the Umbrella had to be destroyed, Green Arrow Duck still responded succinctly, "Yes." "Then count me in," Jill Valentine stated his position.

But then a senior Black police officer shouted, "Jill, where are you going? We're preparing to lead the people out of the city via the Mayhem Bridge, and we need a lot of security."

"Officer," Green Arrow Duck reminded in a strange electronic voice, "the Mayhem Bridge has been blocked by the military. You can't leave if you go that way." "How is that possible! We haven't received any orders, not even from the mayor. What military has the authority to blockade a city? Where did you hear that? Or did you see it with your own eyes?" the veteran black police officer asked, stepping closer.

"Anyway, this is the information I received. The person who informed us was Storm from the X-Men. I don't think she would make things up." "X-Men? Why would they be here?" The veteran black police officer was skeptical.

Instead of explaining the X-Men's problem, Green Arrow Duck said, "If you can't leave anyway, you can go to another location. There's also an army stationed there, but it's under a different command system than the army blocking the road. The X-Men's base of operations is also there."

Green Arrow Duck revealed the location of Betty Thaddeus Ross's army. Although it was helping someone unrelated to him, it was just a casual mention, not something he was unwilling to say at all. As for prioritizing these people? They weren't qualified.

"Hey kid. What If...? you're from over there, why don't you come with us? You've seen it yourself, we need a lot of guards. This city is full of these Monster that are hard to tell apart from humans."

"No, I'm not Raccoon City police officer, this isn't my job. And look at yourself," Green Arrow Duck pointed at the noisy group, "Everyone's sticking to their own opinions, some want to go home, some want to run away. Do you think I'm going to waste my time with you?"

Realizing he couldn't persuade the other woman, the veteran Black police officer gave up trying to convince the Duck Plushie. He turned to the other two women. "Jill, and this lady, aren't you coming with us?"

Alice walked over to Green Arrow Duck, her attitude quite clear. She wasn't trying to protect or support anyone; she simply had a grudge against Umbrella and needed to settle it.

Jill Valentine echoed this sentiment. "No, Peyton, to truly protect those people, we need to address the root of the problem. And there have been signs of this for a while now, haven't there?"

"I was suspended because I had doubts about the actions of the Umbrella. Not only did they try to bribe me, but after I refused, they also had the chief suspend me, citing a mental breakdown after a colleague's death. I admit the Arklay Mountains case affected me, but you know me, I won't be brought down by something like that. That's why they resorted to despicable administrative means to kick me out."

"Today I will find more conclusive evidence to expose the actions of Umbrella Corporation. Even if I can't bring this company down, I will send all its top executives to prison to hold them accountable for what happened today."

Watching Jill Valentine speak with righteous indignation, Green Arrow Duck felt utterly bewildered. Did I agree to let you come along? Why are you talking like it's a done deal?

"Come on, Mr. Duck." Jill Valentine, of course, couldn't read minds and had no idea what Green Arrow Duck was thinking. She turned her head and beckoned to the Duck Plushie.

"I haven't agreed to let you follow, officer." The Green Arrow Duck, finally getting a chance to speak, was immediately met with a cold shower from the self-absorbed female SWAT officer, leaving everyone feeling awkward.

The Green Arrow Duck turned to the other silent woman and asked, "Do you know where we're headed?"

"East of the city. Officer Wells just said that the large mansions with courtyards are all there."

Undeterred, Jill never gave up on proving her worth. "I know the fastest way there, and I know the way around. You don't want to waste time finding your way, or trying to find a living person to ask for directions from a horde of Monster, do you?"

"Actually, I can access satellite information..." Green Arrow Duck gave up on using this sentence to refute the other party and began to consider the feasibility of accepting the other party as a temporary companion.

Green Arrow Duck's criteria for choosing people isn't based on whether they're women or familiar game/movie characters. It's simply because they all have grudges against Umbrella, which is far more reliable than blindly trusting the "protagonist."

Perhaps it was because the Duck Plushie's facial expressions were too detailed. Alice saw the face turn towards her and understood. "I don't object to bringing another helper, but how are you going to manage two people?"

"Each of you step onto one of the webbed feet, and then figure out how to hold on." Green Arrow Duck turned the webbed feet outwards, and the webbed feet of the Duck Leopard armor—Duck Type were just big enough for ordinary people to step on. The two women, one on each side, clung to the Duck Plushie. The Micro-hover System then activated, allowing Green Arrow Duck to get back on track like ice skating. Before the senior black police officer had a chance to say goodbye, he quickly left.

Actually, if this Police Station had an underground passage connecting to all sorts of strange places, it might save a lot of trouble. It's just that explaining how I found the passage would be a bit complicated.

However, whether it was due to a different precinct or because this world was simply unrelated to the video game, this police station was remarkably "clean." Green Arrow Duck had no choice but to abandon the police station clues and continue following Alice's trail.

At this moment, other police officers approached Peyton Wells, the veteran Black man. "Aren't Jill and the others going to stay and help?"

"They said they were going to find something that could solve this disaster. We can only hope they act quickly enough and that there really is a vaccine to deal with these Monster."
