Because she hadn't kept her headphones on the whole time, Jean Grey, who was confirming the information about the Zombies horde for the first time, also learned about the Animal Squad's plans. She now had to discuss the next steps with Professor X and, depending on the situation, recall the remaining X-Men.

She's a seasoned veteran who's faced countless life-or-death situations, unlike Betty Thaddeus Ross who has no concept of what it's like to be facing an enemy force of "thousands." Without Cyclops and Storm as the mainstays, the rest of the X-Men wouldn't be able to handle that number of enemies, especially when they're also trying to protect people.

Rogue was a step behind, turning back to Green Arrow Duck. "I heard you saved me. No matter how you did it, thank you." Green Arrow Duck waved his hand dismissively. "It was just a favor, nothing much. I'm glad you're alright." Despite some doubts, he returned to the computer in the research area to prepare for developing a better Antiviral Serum.

Although Spider-Man hasn't returned yet, it's not like we can't do without him. He originally wanted to keep things simple, but he just didn't want to reveal his ability to develop viruses and Antiviral Serum.

But things couldn't drag on any longer; enough time had already been wasted. Green Arrow Duck hadn't forgotten Raccoon City's final fate in the movies: a nuclear bomb dropped on it by Umbrella, rendering it useless.

Because this nuclear bomb, which was supposed to stop the spread of the virus, was more like it was dropped to Oblivion evidence. The world in the movie still collapsed, and the virus still spread throughout the world.

However, in the reality of this world, the situation in Raccoon City hasn't reached the point of being completely out of control. But there's no guarantee that the world's Umbrella still has the capability to launch nuclear weapons, or that it won't make a rash decision and launch them prematurely.

So Green Arrow Duck began researching Umbrella's virus and Antiviral Serum data. After reading it through once, an idea took shape in his mind. What he needed to do now was to simulate the transmission capabilities of the new Antiviral Serum and see if it was as effective as the one in the last Resident Evil movie.

That's Super-Soldier Serum that, with just one dose, can remain permanently in the Earth's atmosphere and spread throughout the world.

Betty Thaddeus Ross, who had originally come to Raccoon City to assess the situation, had actually intended to cooperate with the X-Men and others when she learned that they were there to resolve the Resident Evil.

She then found an opportunity to go to the temporary base set up by the X-Men and used her professional skills to obtain Professor X's consent to cooperate. She then took Gwen Stacy to the rooftop of the building to share the latest information obtained by the X-Men.

Now that Green Arrow Duck is getting down to business, and Jean Grey is busy with X-Men matters, Betty Thaddeus Ross naturally brings her people over to the duck puppet, intending to offer assistance. "Mr. Duck, is there anything we can help you with?"

Somewhat unsure how to deal with these two Green Arrow Duck while dressed in Duck Leopard armor—Duck Type, he was at a loss.

As luck would have it, with a strange scream, Spider-Man, twirling on his Silk, swung to his limit. At his highest point, he just cleared the rooftop of the temporary base, and after letting go and tumbling through the air, he landed steadily next to the Green Arrow Duck.

Few can truly grasp the sheer power of Spider-Man- Man's almost intuitive ability to calculate landing points. Everyone is captivated by his exaggerated physical movements, more akin to those of a gymnast, overlooking his truly extraordinary abilities.

Upon landing, Spider-Man immediately asked about his biggest concern. "Mr. Duck, are we really not going to deal with those terrifyingly large numbers of Zombies? Letting them get so close before dealing with them—aren't we afraid some will escape? What preparations have you made?"

The Little Bug appeared, and a barrage of questions followed. Green Arrow Duck couldn't ignore it, but was also thankful that he came to the rescue.

"I've already given my comrades tactical instructions; they'll be at the designated location at the designated time. Those Zombies are nothing." Green Arrow Duck, having given up the computer screen, displayed models of the virus and Antiviral Serum he'd obtained from the Umbrella Corporation, explaining as he did so. "Professor Ross, Spider-Man, please allow me to explain further. This is the information I obtained from the Umbrella Corporation's secret base..."

"Wait a minute, a secret base? How do you know where their secret base is?" Spider-Man interrupted.

Pointing to Alice, who was almost burying her head in the screen reading Umbrella Corporation information, Green Arrow Duck replied, "With the help of several friends I met on the road, I successfully found the secret experimental base that Umbrella Corporation set up underground in this city."

"In fact, the virus leaked from there. It wasn't just there that they were researching the virus and Antiviral Serum; it also included clawed Monster codenamed ' Licker,' modified from infected humans."

The Green Arrow Duck pointed to the other side, where the Licker, which it had chopped into a human pig, was pinned to the ground by several iron chains, unable to move. The most terrifying thing was that even though it had lost its limbs, this Monster was still alive and kicking.

"Okay, I'll continue." Drawing everyone's attention back, Green Arrow Duck continued, "The first thing I did upon returning was use the bioreactor to produce an Antiviral Serum for the virus. By the way, 'virus' is just the internal term used within the Umbrella Corporation. And on the first floor, I met a man who hadn't been bitten by Zombies, but rather infected by an airborne virus, and who just happened to transform into Zombies."

Green Arrow Duck pointed to the man in the hospital bed not far away. Betty Thaddeus Ross and Gwen Stacy both knew about his condition, but it was the first time Spider-Man had heard about it, so he glanced at him again.

"Once he was brought to the base, he underwent Antiviral Serum testing..."

"Wait a minute!" Spider-Man interrupted Green Arrow Duck again. "What If...? you heal him, does that mean other people who have turned into Zombies also have a chance to recover?"

Green Arrow Duck had no choice but to answer Spider-Man's question first. "From the moment he lost his mind and started biting people until he received the Antiviral Serum injection, the time was less than half an hour."

"In such a short period of time, most of the man's organs were still functioning normally and had not suffered much damage. I speculate that this is the main reason why he was able to survive after the virus was killed."

"However, this person received Antiviral Serum injection about twenty minutes ago and has not yet regained consciousness. Whether he will become a vegetable or make a full recovery is still uncertain."

Even though he was wearing a mask, Spider-Man's disappointment was palpable. "Oh, okay."

Green Arrow Duck continued, "I made two doses of Antiviral Serum in total. One dose was administered via inhalation, but it did not improve the patient's condition. The second dose was administered via traditional injection, and the result was as you can see."

"The current problem with Antiviral Serum is that it cannot exist in the air and must be injected directly into the patient. Secondly, the dosage required for a single patient is about 15 ml, which is quite large. This is not conducive to the distribution using the Canary Device."
