On August 28, 1998, Umbrella began internally investigating the mansion incident. The leader of the development department, Morpheus D. Duvall, and several officials in the same department were accused of "gross negligence." Therefore, they were fired from the company.
On the afternoon of August 29, Irons announced that the entire urban area would be quarantined, and police forces would be mobilized to strictly block all major entrances and exits to the urban area. No one was allowed to enter or leave the city without authorization.
At 7:33 pm that night, police admitted to the public that there was an epidemic that had caused people to develop a mad love for raw meat.
On September 1st, the residents of Raccoon City continued their daily lives as normal. They had forgotten about the explosion in the Arklay Mountains and the collective resignation of the stars.
No one believes the absurdity that Umbrella hid a biological and chemical weapons research center in the mansion, and no one believes that there is a so-called "T-virus" that can transform people and animals into terrifying monsters.
On September 4, Urban Edge reported Umbrella's latest reconstruction plan: Umbrella's chemical plant located south of downtown Raccoon is scheduled to be demolished next week for large-scale construction.
Following last year's work, this is the third renewal of this well-performing pharmaceutical company. According to Umbrella spokeswoman Amanda Whitney, new equipment worth millions of dollars for vaccine synthesis will be introduced into two research buildings within the factory, and the latest technology will be installed in all buildings.
Computer upgrades will also be carried out in the coming weeks in the office building that connects the two research buildings. At the moment, everyone is concerned about whether this project will have an impact on urban traffic conditions. Regarding this question, Whitney responded: "The Raccoon City Police Headquarters is also under reconstruction, so we realize that the general public is concerned about the failure of S.T.A.R.S."
"Therefore, we will do our best to prevent similar problems from happening. Our company's works are only carried out inside the building and construction hours are almost always scheduled outside working hours."
This newspaper previously reported that a strange crack appeared in the atrium of the police headquarters' main entrance. The road is being repaired, so for almost a week, vehicles must be diverted from Oak Street.
In response to the reporter's question "Why have a series of renovation projects been implemented recently?" Whitney gave the following answer: "Umbrela has more advantages than other companies, so in terms of applying the latest technology, we will not lag behind other companies, although the last few months have been very busy, but the results of these efforts. .."
On September 10, the director of Raccoon City General Hospital released a report on the "cannibal disease" that had recently appeared in the city.
It was written that the patients sent had initial symptoms of skin necrosis and congestion and were regularly unconscious. They would eventually lose human rationality and even euthanasia could not stop them from jumping on raw meat.
Raccoon City has become unsafe at this time. Javier was busy recruiting police officers with Jill leaving a few days ago, saying she was going to university to continue her studies, hoping she could help them.
Javier was lying on the bed at home and Catherine was clinging to his body: "My father has been very busy recently." Saying this happily, she kissed Javier.
"Catherine, you must leave Raccoon City as soon as possible. It is no longer safe here. It will soon become hell on earth. For your safety, I want to send you to another city."
"Is everything you said before true? Didn't my father and Principal Irons say you're all liars?" Catherine spoke up.
Hearing her, Javier laughed.
"Irons, that fat pig, was bribed by Umbrella a long time ago. As for your father, he cares a lot about his position as mayor. If things are exposed, your father's mayorship will be over."
"But what will happen to Dad when I'm gone? I can't leave him alone." Catherine said hesitantly.
"Your father doesn't have time to take care of you right now. For him, his position is the most important." Javier said. After the virus completely broke out, Catherine's father left Catherine with Irons and fled.
This led to Catherine being brutally killed by Irons and being stuffed. Javier decided to send Catherine away before the virus spread completely.
"My dear, won't you leave with me?" Catherine asked.
Javier took a look at the window and said: "I have other things to deal with here."
Catherine nodded: "Well, if you can, please save my father." Javier said yes, but it depends on whether Mr. Mayor will still be alive at that time.
After sending Catherine away, Javier called the system and exchanged his points for ten soldiers from the store. Javier was ready to ask them to protect Catherine and leave.
The next morning, after saying goodbye to Catherine, Javier went to meet Jill. At this moment, the entire Raccoon City was depressed, and the pedestrians coming and going were all in a hurry.
In mid-September, after learning from an insider planted in the US military that William Birkin wanted to defect to the US military, Christine Henri, chief manager of the R&D facilities at Umbrella's French branch, instructed a team from USS led by Hunk infiltrates Raccoon City.
On September 17, "Raccoon City Weekly" reported that Director Irons may run in the upcoming mayoral election. Due to recent bad events, the public's trust rate in the Director has reached an all-time high.
But he also pointed out that Director Irons may have financial problems and expects him to reveal his financial records while running for office.
On September 18, several citizens continued to be sent to Raccoon City General Hospital because of "cannibalism." The rector began to doubt whether there was a cure for this disease. To allow future generations to find a way to treat this "disease", he wrote the central questions in the medical records.
By this time, Katherine had already been away for seven days. Our mayor didn't care about his daughter leaving, but he was busy with the new mayoral election.
