Show that in a quasi-compact scheme every point has a closed point in its closure

Maybe an easier answer? Notice it is enough to show that every closed subset $Z$ of $X$ has a closed point. Observe a point $p \in Z$ is closed in $Z$ if and only if it is closed in $X$ so it suffices to show that $Z$ has a closed point. But $Z$ is also a quasicompact scheme so we reduce to the case of showing that a quasicompact sheme $X$ has a closed point. For this, say $X = U_1 \cup \dots \cup U_n$ is an irredundant decomposition of $X$ as a union of open affines. We can then pick a point $p \in U_1$ that is closed in $U_1$ and such that $p \notin U_j$ for $j \neq 1$. Because $p \in (U_2 \cup \dots \cup U_n)^c$ the closure is also in $(U_2 \cup \dots \cup U_n)^c$. It is then easy to check that the closure of $p$ in $X$ is $p$.
