Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Rapid Development



Following the catastrophic incident that obliterated Raccoon City, Gerald acted swiftly to leverage the situation, securing significant bargaining power against the U.S. government. Thanks to his current and projected technological advancements, the government agreed to his terms.

As a pivotal figure in the rescue operations and a widely recognized hero, Gerald spearheaded intense negotiations with federal authorities and international entities. Armed with overwhelming evidence against Umbrella Corporation and a partnership agreement tied to the missile strike cover-up, he managed to secure massive fines against the fallen pharmaceutical giant.

The recovered funds, combined with extraordinary governmental aid, created an astronomical budget exclusively dedicated to the rebirth of Raccoon City. Gerald presented a visionary plan that went beyond mere reconstruction, aiming to transform the city into a modern, futuristic metropolis.

Intelligent Transportation System

Gerald proposed a fully automated public transportation network, connecting every neighborhood to central hubs. Electric buses and driverless metros ensure seamless and sustainable mobility, and the service is entirely free of charge.Drones were integrated for package delivery, along with prototype taxis, to reduce road congestion. Personal vehicles are restricted to individuals paying an exorbitant monthly fee.

Eco-Energy Buildings

All new buildings are constructed with sustainable materials and integrated solar panels.Hanging gardens and green roofs add a lush aesthetic while purifying the city's air.Renewable energy systems, such as urban wind turbines and geothermal generators, drastically reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Modern Urban Zoning

The city is now divided into specific zones: residential, commercial, industrial, and ecological.Each zone includes dedicated leisure centers, ensuring a higher quality of life for residents.

Enhanced SecurityAI-Based Surveillance

Smart cameras are deployed throughout the city, capable of detecting suspicious behavior and instantly alerting security forces, an improvement on a prototype from Umbrella.Delivery drones constantly monitor critical areas, ready to report any unusual activity.

Discreet Military Reinforcement

At Gerald's recommendation, underground bunkers and secure shelters have been integrated into the transport network, ensuring civilians can be safely evacuated during emergencies.Pascal clones have been stationed as security agents, providing continuous monitoring while their presence remains largely unknown to the public.

Secured Laboratory

A special section has been allocated for highly secured research and development, directed by Marcus, Wesker Junior, and the Birkin couple.This facility ensures the continuation of research on animals and plant species to expand Gerald's model catalog.

Through his innovative approach and unparalleled resourcefulness, Gerald has transformed the tragedy into an opportunity for Raccoon City to become a symbol of resilience and progress.

Community Involvement: The Heart of the City

Fully aware of the importance of preserving memories and the emotional connection residents have to their former city, Gerald led a series of public consultations:

Memorials: Parks and monuments were erected to honor the lives lost during the outbreak.

Respect for Roots: Iconic districts, like the police station, were rebuilt almost identically to preserve the city's historical identity.

Social Initiatives: Programs were established to help former residents resettle and regain economic stability.

Innovative Education: Schools were rebuilt with direct funding from Gerald to produce competent and skilled individuals. These schools integrated real-world experience by partnering with various sectors and professions in the city, providing hands-on opportunities for students.

Accelerated Reconstruction: Allies in the Shadows

To achieve the rapid pace of reconstruction, Gerald utilized his unique resources:

Pascal Clones:

As genetically enhanced individuals, Pascal clones supervised and accelerated every phase of the construction process, from laying foundations to finishing touches.

G and T Creatures: Strictly controlled creatures like Tyrants and G Rhinos were deployed to move heavy materials and stabilize complex structures.

G Leeches and Plants: Modified to purify water and rejuvenate the soil, these organisms played a vital role in landscaping green and ecological zones.

In record time, the first neighborhoods of the new Raccoon City began to emerge, drawing international media attention. Though exhausted, Gerald continued overseeing every aspect of the project, determined to keep his promise to make the city safer and more beautiful than ever.

Leveraging Media Exposure: A Strategic Expansion

Though imperceptible to patients, this enhancement created a biological and psychological loyalty to Gerald and his interests.

A Global Impact

September 25, 2002

"Dad, look! I got the role with Sherry! We're going to star in the prelude to Wonder Woman!" Lisa, now 12 years old, burst into the living room, waving a letter with radiant pride. Behind her, Sherry followed with a shy yet delighted smile, holding her own copy of the letter.

"Congratulations, both of you!" I said, leaning down to ruffle their hair, my grin as wide as theirs. "I knew you'd make it."

Lisa bounced in place, unable to contain her excitement, while Sherry, more reserved, still beamed with a quiet joy that lit up her entire face.

"Guess who's here, girls?" I said, glancing toward the back door.

Before they could ask, the door swung open, revealing Jill, followed by Rebecca and Steve.

"Aunt Jill!" Lisa squealed, sprinting toward her and launching herself into her arms. The impact sent Jill tumbling backward, a burst of laughter escaping her lips as she struggled to stay upright.

"Hey! Easy, Lisa!" Jill chuckled, already sprawled out on the carpet.

But Lisa wasn't done. Sherry quickly joined in, diving into the fray with surprising force, causing Rebecca and Steve to stagger and join the growing pile. In mere seconds, all five of them were on the floor, a tangled mess of arms, legs, and laughter.

"Looks like they're happy to see you," I joked, crossing my arms as I watched the chaos unfold.

Rebecca, pinned beneath Sherry, laughed. "Looks like it! Sherry, you've grown—and definitely gotten stronger, haven't you?"

"Maybe a little," Sherry admitted, blushing slightly.

Steve, trying to free his leg from under Jill, pulled a comical face. "I signed up to be the cool uncle, not a human cushion! But if it makes you happy…"

Sherry stuck out her tongue at him, making everyone burst into laughter. "You're my favorite uncle, so stop complaining!"

"Hey! I'm here too!" Rebecca feigned offense, prompting Sherry to immediately lean over and hug her.

"You're both my favorites," Sherry declared with a smile so genuine it melted everyone's hearts.

Jill, still pinned under Lisa, raised a hand in mock surrender. "Okay, can we get up now, or am I living here forever?"

Lisa giggled and finally stood, helping Jill to her feet. "Sorry, Aunt Jill! We're just so excited to see you!"

Shaking my head, amused by the scene, I muttered to myself, "Good thing the Birkins gave me that G-virus variant. I might not be as strong as before, but I'm still tough enough to handle a few hunters. Otherwise, these girls might be the end of me."

Rebecca, overhearing my comment, raised an eyebrow while helping Steve to his feet. "Don't worry, Gerald. With these two, even a Tyrant would have a hard time keeping up."

Everyone laughed, and the room grew even warmer, filled with joy, familial bonds, and the genuine love we all shared.

I am in an open relationship with Jill, while Rebecca and Steve are happily married.

Just then, the Jordans entered my office, their synchronized steps catching everyone's attention. Their gazes swept the room before settling on me.

"Boss, we've got news on what you were looking for," they said in perfect unison.

(I'm placing this chapter here to add background to Gerald's story. I'd like to note that the easy mode outside combat has greatly contributed to his advancements. Moving forward, I'm deciding whether to delve straight into RE4 or explore Code Veronica and Revelations first. Regardless, this chapter serves as a foundation for future developments.)

Next chapter will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
