An enraged and injured Hemlock tries to kill Nick with a grenade launcher and in hand-to-hand combat, but fails to beat him. Meanwhile, Nick and Chuck destroy the drones used to collect the samples, as Nick uses a drone to attack the unfortunate pilot of the aircraft, causing it to crash in the middle of Los Perdidos, with one of it's rotors still working. Due to her refusal, Hemlock then chucks the unlucky helper to her demise, as he orders the collection to begin before the fire-bombing. Marian denies his offer as she must find the orphan who has the cure, but Hemlock shrugs the cure off as a myth. At the landing pad, Hemlock arrogantly declares that he can create a outbreak wherever he wants, and it'll be allowed by martial law and he'll still be the President. Nick, along with Chuck Greene, pursue his aircraft to a landing pad so they can stop him. Before they could fly away, however, Hemlock orders he needs a substance that King Zombies emit prior to the fire-bombing. Despite warning, Nick impersonates one of the forces, successfully convincing Hemlock to add a extra day to the deadline.
However, Nick bests Ronald and the forces, as Hemlock demands a update on Nick's capture. In Chapter 7, Nick and his friends are successful in rebuilding the plane and getting fuel, but they are distracted by Ronald Jackson, who lures Nick, Annie, and Isabela to a open area right where Hemlock's forces are waiting, who lock the latter two in a storage crate, as Ronald declares he's going to get a large bounty for Nick's death. In Chapter 6, Hemlock appears in the flesh, as she rescues Marian after she is trapped under rubble. Unsurprisingly, this upsets Nick greatly, due to him knowing that the president was killed on purpose. His plan succeeds as the radio declares Sonya to be infected and Hemlock is now the "Temporary President of the United States" as he declares all surrounding areas to be on lockdown.
He then orders the President to be brought to him so he can infect her. In Chapter 4, Hemlock talks to Marian Mallon, as she wishes to hold back the bombing so she can track Diego and Nick Ramos, which he agrees. On top of this, this allows him to be an oppressive dictator under martial law, something he wish to keep happening, as he makes Sonya be trapped in the fight and become a zombie. However, his real plan is to use Hilde to kill any possible threats to their plan, regardless of them being real threats. His main goal is to kill the president, vice president, and everyone else that tries to stand in his way to become president so he can start a plot to either infect or contaminate the area around other powerful leaders so he can overthrow them.Īt the start of the game, he, along with Hilde (who looks after the safety of everyone in the city), is seen delivering a speech on television Sonya ordering Los Perdidos to be firebombed when no organic life is spotted in the areas that are quarantined.
The special forces unit are led by Hemlock to archive his goal for power.General Hemlock is the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America, leads comment of the army and the air-force, and is the leader of the ZDC, a anti-zombie agency. In the comic, John Kilduff and his special forces unit work alongside with Phenotrans to start the outbreak in Las Vegas. In addition to soldiers and a helicopter, Scout Bots help clear the mall of zombies, along with any survivors. In Leisure Park is a helicopter that kills all of the zombies, while the soldiers work indoors.
While the soldiers speak to Jessie, the other soldiers begin their clean-up operation, killing every zombie (and supposedly survivors, too, who have not fled to the Security Room) on sight until 10 a.m., when they leave the mall due to zombies continuing to pour in. However, Jessie turns into a zombie, due to her previous infection by Dr.
At the same time, two soldiers, an escort and his guard, are talking to Jessie McCarney, telling her that if she signs the Official Secrets Act and pretends she doesn't know about the incident she will be free to go. On the fourth day, September 22, the Special Forces begin their raid on the mall 12 a.m. Flying further into town, after witnessing strange happenings in the main street, several helicopters begin to chase the unauthorized charter helicopter. When Ed DeLuca and Frank West were flying into town, they observed a barricade at one of the bridges consisting of barbed wire, sandbags, cones among other items, manned by eight soldiers and an armored vehicle. Several Special Forces helicopters can be seen flying above burning buildings while Connie and Dakota were driving in the outskirts of town.
