Chapter 1905: Epidemic
"Given the despicable use of chemical and biological weapons on the battlefield by the Enclave, we strongly protest."
"Due to the increasingly serious epidemic situation on the front line, the Legion will take the initiative to withdraw from the Louisiana front line and artificially isolate the combat zone, allowing entry and no exit."
"Texas west of Louisiana will serve as the rear of the epidemic. We want to ensure that the epidemic does not expand."
"Emergency notification, the epidemic has now appeared in Texas and Oklahoma, and we have been unable to prevent the spread of the epidemic."
"The latest infection figures show that more than a million people have been affected by the 'Enclave virus'. Those who spread this virus are truly inhumane."
"Condemn the Enclave again for its despicable behavior of ignoring the fate and future of mankind. David Lawrence will surely become a sinner for all mankind."
Simon of the San Antonio SWAT team was staring dumbfounded at a TV in the bar, and none of the news on it was happy. The bar he was in was also empty, only he and a few of his men used it as a temporary residence.
Before the 'Enclave Virus' broke out, Simon was sent to the Louisiana front to maintain order on the battlefield. And after the plague, he was stuck in a small town after the disaster, and he couldn't go there either.
At the beginning, Simon was sent to the military camp near the town to watch the carloads of corpses being transported from the barracks. All vehicles are sealed, and outsiders are prohibited from approaching. Only people wearing full chemical protective clothing can enter the camp for disinfection and incineration.
At first, Simon and other military police and ordinary people didn't understand the situation of the epidemic, so the legion "unintentionally" overturned the vehicle during the process of transporting the corpses, and the car full of corpses fell on the open street.
Simon felt that he would never forget that seemingly ordinary afternoon. In fact, he didn't know what was going on in the barracks that day, nor did he know how serious the epidemic was. But the body turned over from the vehicle shocked his nerves.
Rotten, gray, bloody, these are not terrible. Simon saw too many corpses, and he killed many of them himself. Ordinary situations couldn't frighten him. But the corpse that fell on the side of the road that day was a mutant, a terrifying human mutant.
Distorted, deformed, spliced, that is the scene that only appears in horror movies. Simon was at the scene at the time, but he was trembling all over in broad daylight. That night he had nightmares again and again, and when he closed his eyes, all kinds of pale human bodies appeared in his mind like ghosts.
After the "unintentional" exposure was carried out many times, the atmosphere of horror quickly spread throughout North America. Now even the Freemasons don't talk about peace anymore, and everyone, whether in public or private, scolds David Lawrence of the Enclave as a pervert.
Because this highly contagious disease has occurred... .
This is the state of mutants, the first generation of mutants being infected and sick.
Even though Zhou Qingfeng used mutants as guards, he felt that mutants were ugly at best, but they became synonymous with loyalty and toughness. But that's actually a mutant who has had enough to eat.
When the nuclear winter happened, a large number of human beings died in excruciating pain due to infection with mutant viruses, and those who survived became ugly mutants.
This is like leprosy, as long as you are infected, you will be tortured without dying. Mutants will lose their memory due to brain damage, making it difficult to integrate into society and live a normal life. Hungry mutants will go berserk and extremely destructive.
It was already known that the mutants were created by Dr. Osborn. And Dr. Osborn disappeared after joining the Enclave, and David Lawrence, who is now in charge of the Enclave, once again used this super terrifying virus to attack the Aurora Legion. Isn't this a very reasonable explanation?
Let alone members of the Aurora Legion like Simon, the Enclave's own army is afraid. Front-line troops refused to enter Louisiana, which was declared an epidemic area.
Enclave executives tried to explain that they did not spread any 'Enclave virus' at all, but when someone inside Enclave died or mutated due to infection,
Everyone thinks the government is talking nonsense. Don't talk about fighting now, let's deal with the epidemic first.
Simon doesn't care about whether the Enclave is wronged or not. He just thinks about how to survive now. The town where he is located is a military thoroughfare. Not long ago, a large number of military vehicles transported the frontline troops to evacuate, but he, as a military policeman maintaining law and order, could not leave.
In order to 'control' the epidemic, the Legion has implemented strict geographical division management methods. No one is allowed to walk around at will. In fact, after the army withdrew, the town where Simon was located also refused anyone to enter, and did not give anyone any assistance—if you die, stay away, we will not save it.
But now everything in the town is depressed, the shops are closed, the residents are closed, and no one walks on the street. As a military policeman, Simon's daily job is to call names everywhere every day to ensure that everyone in the town is still alive and healthy.
If anyone is not feeling well - sorry to ask you to get out of town. Now, right now, right now, without any hesitation. Even a cough is suspicious, otherwise Simon would have shot and killed the 'suspected patient'.
"Damn it, I'm just doing the work of the corpse collection team." Watching the endless reports on the epidemic situation on TV, Simon could only sigh. He wanted to run away, but there was nowhere to go. The surrounding towns are also under strict martial law, and no one will accept outsiders.
"Captain Simon, do you think the Enclave has a vaccine?" one of his men asked Simon.
"Enclave? I don't know." Simon sighed and shook his head.
"The epidemic on the Enclave should be much lighter than ours."
"Who did you hear that from?"
"I..., I guessed."
In order to survive, human beings will think of all reliable or unreliable methods. And if you fall into panic, your thoughts will easily become very impulsive and reckless.
Simon is an impulsive person, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to create embarrassment for the Legion's 'gun ban'. When one of his men proposed to go to the Enclave, his mind immediately became active.
After the "Blood Wedding", the Enclave did infiltrate and instigate rebellion in Texas and other states. The rebels promised that as long as the members of the Aurora Legion defected to the Enclave, all positions would be retained, and the remuneration would remain the same. Those who are able can also get preferential treatment.
Simon has hidden a copy of the Enclave's instigation leaflet. Under the circumstances, he couldn't help recalling the policy on the flyer again, and suddenly felt that a capable person like himself should "abandon the dark and turn to the bright" and go to the Enclave. Staying on the side of the Aurora Legion is simply waiting for death.
"Yes, we are white people, so we should naturally support the white people's regime." Once Simon recognized the words of his subordinates, the more he felt that he was too inferior to stay in the Aurora Legion. He made excuses for himself and said: "Now the Aurora Legion is about to die, it's time for us to get on the right track."
Boss, you are right!
Several military and police officers who maintained order in the town echoed in unison and left as soon as they said they would. They have long been tired of checking sick people in the small town every day, which is too dangerous. No matter how you look at it, the depressed town is a dead place that is not worth nostalgia for. It is better to escape as soon as possible.
Simon Lissow drove away from the small town with a few of his men and went to the bright and promising Enclave.
And not long after they left, good news was broadcast on the TV in the empty bar—after the efforts of the scientific researchers of the Legion, the research on the "Enclave Virus" vaccine has made significant progress.
