Chapter 199 The Disintegration of America
Hakuto and Tifa arrived in Raccoon City. Before coming, they had agreed that if the T-virus did not spread beyond Raccoon City, Hakuto would confine his virus to Raccoon City.
But upon arriving, Hakuto found that the virus had already spread far beyond Raccoon City.
"Tifa, our agreement was that if the T-virus in Raccoon City didn't spread, I would confine my virus to Raccoon City. But unfortunately, the virus has already spread."
[Heaven helps me. Not only did I get Tifa's promise, but I also don't have to keep our agreement. The T-virus has already spread outside Raccoon City. So my agreement with Tifa is completely void. Wow. The higher-ups at Umbrella Corporation are such good people.]
Hakuto couldn't help but sigh inwardly. As for Tifa's mood at that moment, it wasn't very pleasant. After all, Raccoon City had become a living hell. And now the virus had spread.
"Hakuto, you said the virus can spread through the air, right? You don't want the virus to spread to the whole world, do you?"
[I don't want the virus to spread to the whole world. But I do want it to spread all over America. So once the virus covers all of America, I'll have Hastalyk confine it there. I'll just watch the American news every day, seeing how many die here today, how many die there tomorrow.]
Seeing Hakuto's inner thoughts, Tifa's fists clenched. She gave him a forced smile. "Hakuto, you're very happy right now, aren't you? That you don't have to keep our agreement."
"Uh, Tifa, it would be a lie to say I'm not happy. I really hate America. So please allow me to rejoice in your misfortune. And let me state, this wasn't my doing. Your own people did this. So if you're going to be angry, don't be angry at me. Be angry at those Umbrella higher-ups."
Tifa dejectedly unclenched her fists. Hakuto was right. The fault wasn't his. It was those capitalists who didn't treat people as people.
Seeing Tifa's dejected expression, Hakuto coughed. "Alright, Tifa. We should probably leave. Soon, a nuclear missile will fall here. The whole city will be reduced to rubble."
Tifa stared wide-eyed at Hakuto. She could hardly believe him.
'Was he serious?'
"I can tell you very clearly, it's all true. Don't overestimate the bottom line of those capitalists. Those who become capitalists are definitely not good people. Capital is accumulated with blood."
Hakuto knew what the American or rather, every capitalists were like. If there was no war, they would stir up conflict. Whether to test new weapons or sell old ones, as long as it made money, capitalists would do anything, even things that would send them to hell.
"Hakuto, I know you have a way. Can you..."
"Sorry, Tifa, I cannot. Before, I promised that if the virus was confined to Raccoon City, I would keep our agreement. But now the virus has spread throughout Coloradice."
Then, Hakuto was about to take Tifa away. But suddenly, looking at Raccoon City, which resembled hell, an idea struck him.
[Maybe I can use this incident to split America. Even if America isn't destroyed, that's fine. In that case, I can agree to Tifa's request. And if I successfully split America, I can control some of the separated officials and have them issue a Kill Order for those gangsters and other trashes. I can even allow slavery for those bastards.] (T/N: The MC is too racist, so I'll change some of the content.)
Tifa looked at the boy beside her. She couldn't understand why he hated American so much. But then she suddenly thought of some cases from the Los Santos Police Department.
Sexual assault cases, robbery cases, murder cases, zero-dollar shopping.
Well, Tifa suddenly realized she also felt disgust towards that kind of people.
"Hakuto, I promise for the T-virus to be confine to Coloradice. Are you satisfied with that?"
"If you don't have any other bad ideas, I'll be very happy."
Hakuto never expected Tifa to immediately see that he had another idea. Then he looked at Tifa. "Just say whether you want it or not. If you don't, I won't do it."
"Yes, you bastard. No matter what bad things you do afterwards, right now I want you to stop the virus from spreading. This virus is a terrible thing for all of humanity. It's not just about America anymore."
Despite her helplessness, Tifa still wanted Hakuto to confine the virus to Colorado.
After communicating with Hastalyk and confirming he would confine the T-virus to Colorado, Hakuto said to Tifa, "OK. Done. But I think we need to report the truth about Raccoon City. What do you think, Miss Tifa?"
Knowing that Hakuto's action was intended to split America, Tifa couldn't stop him. And she didn't want to anymore. The higher-ups in America needed to know that civilians were not their playthings.
As Hakuto posted numerous photos of Raccoon City on social media, with guidance from interested parties, Umbrella Corporation was soon put on the hot seat.
Moreover, Hakuto discovered another thing.
According to information Hastalyk relayed to him, the 'Them' virus he had released was a weakened version of the T-virus. That meant the 'Them' virus was created by Umbrella Corporation.
On social media, after it was revealed that the virus could spread through the air globally, America panicked.
If it was just Raccoon City, people in other states and cities would at most make snide remarks. But when it affected their own interests, when they faced the possibility of turning into those monsters, the humanity's selfishness exploded. Countless people protested, demanding answers from the White House.
Meanwhile, the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division had also dispatched agents to Raccoon City to investigate.
The agent they sent was none other than the famous Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff.
