Chapter 570: Virus is spreading
Translator: _Min_Editor: Caron_
Marching on the empty street, the fifteen-member-team with rifles in hand fired continuously, killing the zombies on the street. The rifles they possessed were installed with silencers and the bullets only made short and low sounds. The zombies didn't even fully comprehend the situation before being gunned down.
The scattered civilians who thought they were the F army waved their hands in search of help. But the civilians clearly didn't realize that their uniforms didn't belong to any country and the badges on their shoulders didn't distinguish their identity at all.
Zombies and civilians were all part of their kill list.
”People who don't take the 'mint' will get affected?” Ladisiv killed a civilian with his hands raised while running at him. He asked Giles with a coldblooded voice.
”Not all people will get infected. It's just like the black plague; while the mortality rate is extremely high, there will always be a few graced by lady luck who are immune to this,” Giles said nonchalantly.
”What's the range of influence of this?” Ladisiv asked.
”Only 2.5L to create another dead city in this world,” Giles said in a pleasant tone.
Ladisiv glanced at Giles before moving his back into the crosshairs again.
”Then it's a deadly thing.”
”Just 2.5L of the poisonous liquid costs 250 million USD. Although it can spread rapidly, the virus's ability to survive outside the body is extremely weak; normal ultraviolet can kill it. Therefore, this thing can only spread at night to launch the first wave of infection. Thus, this is a half-finished product.” Giles grinned.
Although it was just a half-finished product, its impact was devastating. In just one hour, it made thousands of people turn into zombies. Even people who were immune to the first round of infection would become zombies after being bitten through the more infectious method of direct contact.
Ladisiv didn't say anything more and trained his attention to the mission at hand.
Just then, they heard a faint gunshot in the distance.
”Did you hear that?” Giles stopped.
”I heard it; it sounded like a gunshot.” Ladisiv signaled the team to stop.
With his eyes narrowed, watching the flames in the distance, Giles gently said, ”There are two possibilities. One is that the Country F government forces already discovered the situation here, and the other possibility is that it was Jiang Chen who fired the gun.”
...
”Jiang Chen? That's impossible. Even though he's a person of influence, it would've been impractical for him to bring a gun onto the plane.” Ladisiv disagreed.
”He didn't need to bring it onto the plane. If it's him, it's not hard to make a gun appear out of thin air, so don't be caught off guard.” Giles smiled mysteriously and continued, ”You know, we are fighting against a God.”
”Bullsh*t,” Ladisiv responded coldly.
Giles shrugged and continued to raise his rifle.
”I know you don't believe it. Whatever, regardless of what I say, let's get to the black box first. Within three days, he won't be able to escape. Once we obtain the black box, we'll have plenty of time to play with him.”
Giles spoke mysteriously as he walked in front of the squad and signaled Ladisiv to follow him.
Jiang Chen took out the kinetic skeleton from the storage dimension and equipped it then rechecked the equipment on his body.
The power armor created too big of a target and was previously exposed on Coro Island, so it wasn't suitable to be used here. If it was spotted in CIty K, it would be hard for people not to think about the possibilities.
For example, could this ”resident evil” event be related to Xin? Or why did the power armor coincidentally appear in City K the same time the infection broke out?
