Chapter 968: Chapter 794: The Infected Psychic
Frank looked at the vaccine in his hand and upon hearing Nick Fury’s words, his expression grew solemn
“You’re saying there’s sothing wrong with this wound? Do you know Luke’s condition? Will I die if bitten by him? Will I turn into sothing like him?”
Although Frank is a man who believes in fighting fire with fire and sotis employs extre asures,
he has always been able to devise various explosive tactics, even managing to blow up the Hand-to-hand Combat Association’s warehouse while they were on full guard.
His personal abilities and reactions are unquestionable.
He quickly sensed that sothing was amiss.
“You can choose not to believe , but I hope you’ll think carefully.”
Nick Fury didn’t elaborate much, but Frank took the point.
“Intramuscular injection?”
“It’s too late for an intramuscular injection; it has to be intravenous, so it might be a bit painful. But you have a strong constitution; an ordinary person might not stand a chance even with this stuff.”
Feeling alard by this, Frank didn’t hesitate any longer and imdiately injected the vaccine into his vein.
Frank is quite a suspicious person, but he knows clearly when to be skeptical and when to seize the opportunity.
This ti, the wound was indeed making him feel out of sorts, starting to feel dizzy and feverish with photosensitivity and hydrophobia right after the bite, a clear sign of a major problem, or else he wouldn’t keep coming back to wash the wound with iodine.
“Is this so kind of virus? Doesn’t feel quite right…”
Frank furrowed his brows as he spoke after injecting the vaccine.
Normal vaccines are given through muscle injection to allow the body to form antibodies, usually taking about a week to half a month to work. It’s the injection of antitoxin serum and immune proteins that can be imdiate.
This direct intravenous injection made Frank realize the gravity of the situation.
“Back in Raccoon City, it was the rampage of such a virus that led to a nuclear attack. Leon was a survivor of that incident. And it seems this ti it’s because of a recent explosion at the Hand-to-hand Combat Association’s warehouse that caused the virus to leak, and rats took it down to the sewers…”
Only after Frank had injected the vaccine did Nick Fury enter the room with his team and then succinctly explained the cause and effect.
However, as he ntioned the leakage of the virus due to the warehouse explosion, the expressions on the faces of the blind man and Frank seed to stiffen a bit.
This did not escape Nick Fury’s notice; a peculiar expression appeared on his face
“Judging by your reactions, you guys didn’t blow up that warehouse, did you?”
It seed, quite likely!
Frank was just the kind of guy who loved the art of explosion!
“How could it be a virus processing plant? That place was full of other contraband goods, I’ve investigated it…”
Frank murmured to himself, then inquired anxiously,
“Is there no saving him once he has completely lost his sanity and turned into a zombie?”
Luke was one of the mbers of their little group. Frank actually didn’t like this sowhat ruffian guy at first, but after a few bouts of cooperation, he had co around to appreciate him.
He was soone who would earn his living wages by working as a cleaner and dishwasher and didn’t use his superpowers to commit cris.
And now that guy had clearly turned into what they called a zombie. If it really was a problem caused by the warehouse, it was almost like he had caused his own friend’s death!
Even though Frank is not a particularly sentintal person, he was now sowhat disheartened.
“Uh, once he’s turned into a zombie, I’m afraid there’s no going back.”
Fury had overheard the conversation between Frank and blind Matt earlier, so he had so guess that one of their friends had been infected.
He then said gravely,
“The problem is more than that now. You’ve seen the harm this thing can do, and we don’t have nearly enough vaccine in our hands. If the virus breaks out in Hell’s Kitchen, the consequences would be absolutely disastrous!”
“You’re right…”
Frank also understood the severity of the situation, and while he silently criticized this black man who clearly knew there was a problem but didn’t solve it in advance, he also knew that now was not the ti to dwell on these issues, and quickly said,
“So, do you have any plans?”
“I’ve already contacted General Ross in advance, but he doesn’t believe it, he needs evidence. We go directly to find your friend, and then provide him with the evidence…”
And almost as soon as he finished speaking, a rapid rat-tat-tat—
Continuous gunfire sounded from the streets, with so sporadic other gunshots still faintly audible.
Although in Hell’s Kitchen, gunfire is quite common, and they had heard it several tis intermittently before,
but now it seed a little too concentrated!
“Is it the squad pursuing us directly? Who are they fighting with?”
Nick Fury looked at Natasha. Your reinforcents arrived?
But just as they carefully lifted the curtain and looked down, their faces turned rather grim.
They saw a tactical squad clad in bulletproof vests, tactical helts, and ard with assault rifles and submachine guns, standing beside the road, using the parked cars as cover, continuously firing at those erging from various corners, alleyways, and dumpsters!
And judging by their speed of shooting, they were not worried about accidentally hitting civilians at all.
So of them were also frantically reporting sothing over radios.
They seed familiar with zombies.
“So, these are zombies? Indeed very similar to Luke’s situation, though Luke is more agile and stronger. Does it have to do with the individual infected?”
