Chapter 1552: Chapter 1552: Knowing the Murderer but Being Unable to Do Anything_1

Chapter 1552

One month later.

After Chloe Collins took over as President, the Fosters and Carringtons were closely intertwined and engaged in numerous collaborations.

Despite this, their prominence was still overshadowed by White Enterprises.

The reason was still the vaccine and the wonder drug.

A month ago, after the outbreak of the infectious disease in Norville, the Whites intervened, arranged for media coverage, and recorded a patient’s recovery after consuming related medicines from White Enterprises Pharmaceuticals.

Once this documentary was broadcasted, the medicine sold wildly nationwide.

On the other hand, Chloe Collins couldn’t get any useful information from Conrad Quincy.

A month ago, their investigation into Hans White ultimately fizzled out due to a lack of evidence.

Half a month ago, they used the collected evidence to pursue Valleys, but to this day there’s no lead.

Valleys was like a ghost, with no information obtainable from the computer networks. He was hard to find.

When Conrad Quincy told her, he seemed utterly desperate and helpless.

It was a situation where they knew who the murderer was, but were helpless.

Just like a scene in a certain film—

People continuously were murdered in the same manner, but the person who executed this method was already dead.

It seems insolvable and strange, but the reality was that the murderer was a mutant species that could keep parasitizing in others’ bodies. Once the host body died, it could continue to parasitize in others, then hunt down the target. So the method was identical, but the person being parasitized became its scapegoat, bearing the death penalty.

The police knew it was the murderer, but no one could catch it, let alone kill it.

Conrad Quincy and others were currently stuck in this desperate situation.

Meanwhile, the disturbance of the experiment subjects in Gelia escalated abruptly.

On the morning of August 23rd.

Chloe Collins turned on the television for the morning news.

The news was showing the current situation in Gelia.

Soldiers could be seen everywhere, refugees were fleeing with their belongings, and the once bustling department store stood empty.

This was a small city in Gelia. A week ago, there was an outbreak of attack cases here. Many people suddenly lost their sanity and attacked those around them, whether biting or hitting, and those who were bitten were infected with the virus within three days and continued to bite others.

The difference between them and zombies was that zombies were dead, while they were alive, just being eroded by the virus in their brains and losing their sanity.

However, if the wounds were not treated for a long time, they could also die from excessive blood loss.

Once they died, they lost the ability to act and wouldn’t run around like zombies.

They shared one thing in common with zombies - that was, they both wanted to alleviate their pain through human blood. It was their bodies’ desire that drove them to hurt others.

Despite the differences, people still called them zombies and fled everywhere.

The local government has dispatched troops to suppress and handle the situation, but things don’t seem very optimistic.

The news shifted to another country.

This time, it was Morisia.

Being a wealthy and powerful country, Morisia had not had significant unrest for many years. However, just a week ago, a coastal city hospital admitted over thirty patients with the same symptoms; they are currently being isolated and observed.

Some linked them with the virus of experimental subjects in 2021, but the official response is still pending.

A week later, the unrest escalated, and the virus began to rampage around the world.

The vaccine produced by White Enterprises Pharmaceuticals was in short supply, and multiple countries sought help from Grearon.
