"Tell the public? Then trigger panic? Become the perfect breeding ground for spreading viruses and violence?"
Xu Yue took a sip of sake and spoke casually.
Jill's expression stiffened. Honestly, judging from the incidents she had learned about so far, panic would only bring even worse results.
Yet she still firmly believed that letting the public know would be the better way to handle things.
Perhaps panic would spread at first, but once the public gradually got used to it, and all parties worked together to contain the infections, all these problems would be easily resolved.
"We have to trust the capabilities of the emergency response agencies. As long as we can hold out during the early stages..."
Jill said urgently.
"Even now, there's no guarantee you can hold out in the early stages. Once chaos breaks out, what will you use to hold the line? Any brat spreading a rumor can force you to work overtime, while you'll be unable to deal with the real spreaders."
"Rather than that, it would be better to maintain a façade of peace for now and give everyone their final bit of peaceful time."
Xu Yue's words were calm and rational, yet they left an unpleasant feeling in the hearts of the people beside him.
"You've already decided that the spread of the infection is unavoidable? If you don't even try, how can you know whether it can succeed?"
Jill was clearly agitated.
"I just don't want to waste effort or let good intentions cause bad results. But I'm not trying to stop you either. You can go ahead and try."
"It's not impossible to keep exposing Umbrella Corporation while competing with them in public opinion, gradually teaching people certain knowledge while easing their panic."
Naturally, Xu Yue understood Umbrella Corporation's plans best.
