The Severe Crime Committed by Umbrella and the U.S. Government

Even after the Alpha Team members survived the incident, mysterious and bizarre ocurrences continued to be reported in the city. The so-called "cannibalistic disease" spread to all areas of the city and Raccoon City plunged into a state of panic. At that time, Mayor Warren received news that the military was beginning an operation to quarantine the outbreak. He secretly fled the city and was taken under the care of the military. This left few citizens of Raccoon City with the ability to reach the city's borders, forcing over half the population to fend for themselves.

The whole of Raccoon City was placed under martial law and the Raccoon City Police Department's riot police, along with Umbrella's U.B.C.S. were assigned to evacuate the citizens. However, it became a turbulent ordeal. Faced with previously unimaginable zombie foes, it turned into a hopeless suicide mission. In no time at all, the streets were swarming with countless zombies and it was certain that the virus would not remain within the city limits. In response, the U.S. government called an emergency nationwide conference to discuss measures to be taken. The situation was declared the greatest disaster in human history and the President of the United States of America, backed by the conference commitee, declared a plan for eridication of the infection. In compliance, on October 1st 1998, the military fired a new type of warhead into the heart of the city. It is believed that the casualties reached as many as 100,000. In a single strike, the U.S. government erased the infected Raccoon City, together with its innocent citizens, from the face of the earth.
