Three days later.
In a small city with a population of only 200,000, fifty kilometers outside Raccoon City.
The group had already taken the two stolen vehicles and continued speeding down the roads after leaving Raccoon City.
After Uchiha Jin assessed the situation and discussed it with everyone, they decided to hide in a small city fifty kilometers outside Raccoon City, one with a population of only 200,000.
Downtown, at a budget hotel.
After changing their clothes, the group checked in in batches. As for the two vehicles they had stolen, they had already switched them out several times along the way.
"Who are you people?"
"I'm a Level Six Umbrella employee. I advise you to release me immediately, or the company definitely won't let you off."
"Of course, I can pay you!"
Dr. Charles Ashford pushed up his glasses. Though his face showed some panic, he still managed to calm himself and tried to negotiate with the group.
However, Jin simply looked up from the map he was studying and said, "Shut up. I'll deal with you later."
Dr. Charles Ashford was somewhat stunned. When he saw that no one else seemed ready to speak, he belatedly realized that this child was the one in charge.
However...
He was quite good at reading the situation. He merely held his daughter close and chose to remain silent!
"Kaplan, have you found any Umbrella armed teams?"
Uchiha Jin asked.
In response to Jin's question, Kaplan, who was sitting beside the computer, wore a smug look. "Although my abilities aren't comparable to the Red Queen's, dealing with other computer firewalls isn't a problem."
"Although we can't hack Umbrella's satellites and draw their attention here, this isn't an Umbrella-controlled city. It won't be that easy for Umbrella's armed personnel to get in."
"Even if they want to temporarily buy off the heads of the various municipal departments, that isn't something they can accomplish in a short time. So far, only two armed teams have disguised themselves and come over. But they won't find us in less than half a month!"
He was clearly willing to trust Kaplan's computer skills.
Just then.
Rain Ocampo, who was watching television, was so furious that she nearly smashed it. "Raccoon City has been placed under Umbrella's martial law. The T-Virus really has swept through the entire city. Raccoon City has truly become a testing ground."
Dr. Charles Ashford, who was holding his daughter, couldn't help showing a look of surprise.
He realized that he had guessed wrong!
He himself had only learned that the T-Virus had been leaked on the morning of the day he was captured. These people who had kidnapped him knew about it too?
That made him instantly realize that his kidnapping was far from simple.
James Shade came over and looked directly at Uchiha Jin. "What do we do next? We need to make a decision as soon as possible!"
Almost in an instant.
Everyone's eyes turned toward Uchiha Jin.
Dr. Charles Ashford was utterly shocked. This child really was the leader?
"Kaplan, we'll have to rely on you again."
"We need a base of operations next, one that can guarantee absolute safety."
"Preferably, find a military base belonging to Eagle Country. Ideally, one equipped with a nuclear warhead."
"To deal with the chaos ahead, we need that kind of deterrent."
Uchiha Jin spoke calmly.
Kaplan sucked in a sharp breath. But after thinking about the coming apocalypse, he pondered for a moment before agreeing. "All right. Give me another day."
"No rush. We still have plenty of time." Uchiha Jin waved his hand.
Next.
He looked at James Shade again. "I need you to contact your mercenary friends. Even if we're only defending the camp, we'll need a considerable number of people."
"That won't be a problem, but we don't have any evidence!" James Shade shrugged.
Uchiha Jin's expression remained calm. "I can use genjutsu to control them temporarily. Once the situation in Raccoon City falls apart and the T-Virus completely sweeps across the world, they'll naturally make the right choice."
Hiss!
At Uchiha Jin's words, everyone sucked in a cold breath.
After pondering for a moment, James Shade still nodded directly. "All right. I understand!"
No one present, including Alice, had any intention of saving the world.
The reason was simple!
They were all extremely realistic people, and that included Alice.
In the Original work.
Why was she inclined to oppose Umbrella?
Mainly because of Umbrella's Alice Project. It meant that even if she wanted to hide, she had nowhere to hide. Much of the time, she had been forced into opposing Umbrella.
Although she was kind by nature, and would instinctively lend a hand when someone else ran into trouble,
that was already the limit of what she would do!
Dr. Charles Ashford couldn't hold back any longer, and his expression became extremely ugly. "What exactly are you people trying to do?"
"What is the T-Virus's method of transmission?" Uchiha Jin turned his head.
Dr. Ashford said, "What?"
"Answer me!" Uchiha Jin said.
Although he was deeply unwilling, he still answered. "Air, blood, saliva, water sources, injection... It can even spread by contaminating the environment, with a certain probability."
As one of the developers of the T-Virus, he naturally knew its methods of transmission very well.
In response, Uchiha Jin spoke coldly.
"The T-Virus has already spread through Raccoon City. Even if Umbrella contains it, all they can do is delay the outbreak."
"Can Umbrella defend against birds flying through the sky and rats in the sewers?"
"Not to mention airborne transmission!"
Hiss!
At Uchiha Jin's words, Dr. Ashford's face instantly turned deathly pale. He truly hadn't considered these things before.
His body began to tremble. "Why did it become like this?"
"Looks like you've figured it out." Uchiha Jin's expression remained unchanged. "The end of the world is coming soon."
"I did save your daughter, after all. It isn't too much to ask you to develop a cure for the T-Virus for me, is it?"
"When the foreseeable apocalypse arrives, I can still provide protection for you and your daughter!"
Dr. Ashford's gaze grew deep.
At last.
He gave Uchiha Jin a long, profound look before slowly nodding in agreement.
Time passed slowly.
A week later.
Raccoon City was bombed with a nuclear warhead, but it still failed to stop the T-Virus.
Another three days later, James Shade's friends arrived.
Because time was too tight, Uchiha Jin had no interest in wasting words with them and directly used the Sharingan to control them.
Half a month later.
The T-Virus swept across all of Eagle Country, with zombie attacks and scenes of corpses being examined appearing everywhere.
A month later.
After the situation had completely descended into chaos, Uchiha Jin and the others headed for their designated Eagle Country base.
