Chapter 224 - 224: UN Security Council's Decisions

Luke's words caused panic among everyone, including Lee Eun-yu.

"What about the Avengers? Aren't they the most powerful superhuman team under the United Nations?"

"The country won't abandon us, right? It must be true, after all, Busan is an international metropolis!"

"They wouldn't possibly destroy all of Busan, would they?"

"Damn it, I know! Those higher-ups definitely want to silence us and hide the truth about what happened in Busan. They will nuke us! We must escape immediately, the farther the better!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Our country is the World's strongest nation, a Universe empire, possessing the most powerful soldiers in the World! A mere viral infection cannot defeat our army!"

Panic began to spread through the crowd.

They had struggled to survive for half a month in this isolated and helpless apartment building.

The result they waited for was not rescue, but the end of the World.

They had clearly defeated the Martians, defeated the Reaper Civilization, and the Cybertronians.

The national leader had even repeatedly proclaimed that he would lead the Great Empire to the Moon and Mars, becoming the overlord of the Solar System and the Milky Way Galaxy.

Yet, just a few days later, a biochemical crisis erupted, and Busan was about to be destroyed?

Maybe even the Great Empire dream would be gone?

"Damn it, if my Life Cradle technology could be completed, the nanotechnology might be able to reverse the viral infection process."

Helen Cho looked dejected. She was not yet the key scientist who developed the Life Cradle during the Ultron Era.

Even with Luke's funding, it would still take at least two years to achieve a breakthrough in nanotechnology.

Lee Eun-yu heard "Avengers" and looked over hopefully. "What about the Avengers? They have the smartest people, Tony Stark and Dr. Bruce Banner."

"Can they develop a viral serum?"

Luke shook his head. "I have already notified the Avengers. They are on their way right now, but forget about a viral serum."

"Don't expect a viral serum to be developed within the next few months."

Umbrella headquarters might have the t-virus serum; they have been studying this thing for decades.

But as an international pharmaceutical giant, it won't be easy to make them comply.

As for the X-virus...

Luke suspects this thing is not an Earth product.

He doesn't know where Umbrella acquired the X-virus.

In Luke's view, the X-virus is even more terrifying than the t-virus.

Because as long as they are human, they have desires.

The method of transmission is unknown. Once an infectee carries the virus to other cities, it could trigger a World-ending disaster.

Think about the virus in the 20s, which infected over ninety-five percent of the population.

If it were the X-virus... if ninety-five percent of people turned into monsters, the remaining population, even if they avoided viral infection, would find it difficult to organize an effective resistance force to eliminate the monsters.

The best solution is a complete cleansing.

Any kind of bleeding heart attitude is unacceptable.

Otherwise, it could lead to the extinction of humanity.

Saying this, Luke waved his hand and created a teleportation array.

"Let's go. It's no longer safe here."

This crisis was a man-made disaster that couldn't be completely prevented by his talismans.

The alien invasion causing the leak was merely an external factor. The true internal cause lay with the biochemical virus developers and the South Korea regime.

If the nearby areas had been completely evacuated immediately upon the virus leak, and the area repeatedly cleansed, the virus fundamentally could not have spread.

However, the local government chose to conceal it.

And the cleansing efforts were insufficient.

Leading to the fall of Busan.

This is already the best possible outcome.

Thinking negatively, during the period of the virus leak, have other virus carriers already traveled to other cities or even countries via planes, trains, or ships?

Busan is, after all, South Korea's second-largest city, with a high volume of cross-border traffic.

Perhaps, without anyone realizing it, the virus has already been carried to other regions via various means of transportation.

Next, all countries worldwide will have to conduct an extremely serious internal self-inspection.

Lying flat is not an option.

The viruses of the 20s could, at most, eliminate some elderly, children, and people with weak constitutions.

But this virus is intent on exterminating all of humanity, without discrimination.

It even specifically targets and cleanses humans who possess emotions and desires.

Animals, on the other hand, might just survive and become the Master of the Earth.

Although Yoon Ji-su and Helen Cho were quite saddened, just as Luke had said, if they didn't leave now, they truly wouldn't be able to leave later.

United Nations forces have blockaded three sides of South Korea's sea borders.

North Korea has also amassed troops, sealing the 38th parallel to prevent any virus carrier from entering the country.

Countries worldwide simultaneously announced the suspension of flights to and from South Korea and began strict investigations into all personnel who had entered or exited South Korea over the past month.

Currently, the Avengers and Thor are serving as the advance scouts for the United Nations, confirming whether the situation is controllable.

Even South Korea's suzerain state, to show the importance it places on its junior ally, directly dispatched two aircraft carrier strike groups to "keep the peace."

Seeing that Luke and the others were about to leave,

the other residents of the Green Home apartment complex also pleaded on their knees, hoping to be taken away.

For the sake of Yoon Ji-su and Lee Eun-yu, Luke took them to the city closest to Busan.

As for the convenience store owner, the Long-Haired Monster, and the original protagonist, Cha Hyun-soo.

Luke sent the former to meet Satan and delivered the latter to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Special infected individuals of the X-virus are equivalent to Alice and others infected by the t-virus.

Their importance is unquestionable.

Unfortunately, not all X-virus infected can yield Anomaly Points.

The Long-Haired Monster was merely cannon fodder.

Suppressing Cha Hyun-soo brought Luke 800 Anomaly Points, raising his total to 2,500 points.

Thinking about it, it made sense; although the X-virus mutates into all sorts of bizarre monsters based on human desires, they are still flesh and blood, and facing heavy firepower, they are nothing more than a pile of rotten meat.

Only certain special individuals might barely escape the cleansing fire of artillery.

And only these outstanding individuals could potentially bring Luke Anomaly Points.

As for the rest, they were completely expendable.

Afterward, Luke first sent the emotionally unstable Helen Cho and the others back to the New York Villa.

Only then did he take the three little ones, including Yulenka, along with the self-volunteering Luna Snow, to Britain.

That very night, mushrooms bloomed over Busan.

Luke counted the mushroom clouds in the video footage sent by Ada Wong; there were dozens of them.

In addition, bomber formations from Russia, China, and the US flew over Busan again and again.

Various aerial bombs, thermobaric bombs, and fuel-air explosives made their appearance.

Turning the city of Busan into flat ground.

The high efficiency, tacit cooperation, and sheer scale were the first of their kind since World War II.

This was also the first joint operation by the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Of course, the bottom two permanent members only sent two warships to cheer them on.

Not only that, Luke, who was currently enjoying the sleepless city of London, Britain, received a call from Nick Fury.

"What? You want me to hit Busan again? Like I did to the Antarctic Continent?"

"What do you mean 'I'm the professional at cleansing zombie virus'? I think you guys are quite professional yourselves."

Looking at the video of the continuous bombing, Luke indicated that this was slander...
