Chapter 850 - 372: Hiding_2
...
Night had fallen, and everything was as usual. Lin Xue sat in front of the TV eating dinner while watching it. During Blood Meng, he managed to make a few phone calls and learned some information. The Chief of Police had personally inquired about the case. He not only rescinded the warrant for Lin Wu’s arrest but also ordered the police not to pursue the case, and even the owner of the Gold had voluntarily dropped the charges.
Blood Meng explained, "The mayor is elected by the citizens, and the Chief of Police is appointed or dismissed by the mayor. If the Chief does a poor job, it affects the mayor, and if the mayor does poorly, it also impacts the Chief. The Chief will definitely try to clear the mayor’s name. The whole thing is about some righteous detectives in the police force trying to use this case to bring down the mayor."
Lin Wu asked, "Can’t the Chief just fire these troublemakers?"
"It’s not that simple. After all, there’s a police union. The Chief can only act on matters, not on people. It’s like in Blue Star, where you can’t be denied entry to a good school just because you’re ugly. You can only be denied if your overall grades are insufficient," Blood Meng said. "The media has noticed this incident, and it will probably be dealt with quietly at first. Even Bodde wouldn’t be so brazen. We should be more concerned about how the zombie virus will break out tomorrow."
Lin Wu said, "The zombie virus exists in two forms. The first, like rabies, won’t cause a large-scale outbreak suddenly. The news also didn’t mention any strange diseases. I think it might be the second form, where the infection is transmitted directly through bites."
"Or possibly both," Blood Meng said. "After the incubation period, the infected person turns into a zombie, bites a human, and soon after, maybe within a minute? The human loses their sanity and becomes a new zombie."
Blood Meng took out a tablet, and after searching, the locations of several large hospitals appeared on the map. Blood Meng said, "We should avoid these routes tomorrow."
