You lean in and say you want to discuss the exact terms of your pickup and timing, since the communications blackout over Lafayette Town might not be quelled by the time you want a pickup - or if you need to make an early retreat. He nods, gesturing for you to sit in the empty co-pilot's seat. You oblige him and idly mess with your camera's settings while he speaks.
You will arrive at roughly 9:00AM today, which is the 23rd. It's 7:30AM at the moment. He tells you that he doesn't expect the military to try and cover up this incident for much longer - considering Willamette, this sounds plausible. You can only cordon off a commercial area with potentially thousands of occupants before a storm is raised, especially in the age of smartphones and social media. Vick reported that it had been "about a week", but she didn't sound completely certain.
You have 144 hours worth of Zombrex from your two capsules, which last 72 hours each. You also have an additional 48 hours of coverage from bringing the bootleg Zombrex, meaning that you could feasibly manage 8 days before you'd have to find more Zombrex. This assumes that nothing happens to your chip, your bootleg supply or that this incident isn't somehow going to introduce a new strain. That isn't unheard of - an infectee was researched a year ago and found to have a new strain that was quickly caught and eliminated, so the possibility exists.
