Chapter 159 Qilin and Other Beasts
"Wow... is the old man's leg really that amazing?"
Hearing his mother's explanation, Lin Fan stared wide-eyed at Lin Jianguo in disbelief.
The latter, perhaps noticing his gaze, wore a smug expression.
"That's...you don't even know who I am."
"I am a mythical Qilin, an auspicious beast. Haven't you ever heard the saying, 'A Qilin begets many beasts'?"
Is the Qilin a mythical beast?
It seems... it does sound somewhat familiar.
Of course, whether it's familiar or not is no longer important.
The important thing is that now everything matches up.
So that's what happened!
The giant animal leg in the underground laboratory is a relic left behind by the old man.
Meanwhile, Daida and Sato Saori accidentally came into contact with the nutrient solution and were assimilated and mutated by the old man's Qilin gene.
This is commonly known as the Qilin, a mythical beast born from a mortal!
"What the hell is this?"
Lin Fan rubbed his head.
He looked at the straight road ahead.
"Old Lin," Lin Fan suddenly spoke.
"what?"
"Now that you're out, the agreement is null and void, right?"
"Invalid?"
Lin Jianguo sneered upon hearing this:
"From the moment the Vatican sent people to kill you, the agreement became a worthless piece of paper."
"Can your leg be reattached?"
"nonsense."
Lin Jianguo glanced at him.
"You're looking down on me a bit with those words!"
"I am an auspicious beast, not a lucky charm placed at the door."
"As long as I find it and integrate it, I can return to my peak."
Hearing what Lao Lin said, Lin Fan's eyes lit up.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
He patted the dial.
"Step on the gas! Let's head to Raccoon City!"
Lin Jianguo was startled by the slap and cursed irritably:
"Hey kid, can you stop making such a fuss? I'm driving right here!"
Despite cursing, Lin Jianguo slammed the accelerator to the floor.
The pickup truck's engine roared like a beast.
The speed increased dramatically.
The black pickup truck blurred into a streak as it sped along the highway, heading straight for Raccoon City.
……
Raccoon City, the ruins of the Umbrella Building.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
A barrage of gunfire erupted.
The members of the Night Squad used the terrain to their advantage and frantically pulled the triggers.
Bullets rained down, weaving a crossfire that tore the fungal zombies at the forefront to shreds.
However, there were too many zombies.
It was a dark, dense mass, stretching as far as the eye could see.
however,
As the battle intensified, everyone discovered something very peculiar.
That is, once the fungal zombies enter Umbrella's territory, they no longer consider them as targets.
One by one, roaring, they trampled over the corpses of their comrades and surged toward the giant leg in the pit.
This situation greatly reduced the pressure on everyone.
But at this moment, their faces showed no sign of relaxation; instead, they were all extremely solemn.
"Sir! We can't suppress the firepower anymore!"
The squad leader's anxious shout came through the communicator.
"These monsters are like madmen! They don't attack us, but I can't stop them either!"
Shadow Killer stood on a towering concrete slab, gripping two large-caliber revolvers in his hands.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two shots blew the heads off two mutated zombies.
He looked down at the bottom of the pit not far away.
The giant leg, covered in dark red scales, seemed to come alive, radiating high temperatures outwards.
The surrounding temperature rose sharply.
The air is distorted and deformed due to the high temperature.
"What the hell is this thing?!" Shadow Killer gritted his teeth.
At this moment, he had finally realized that these zombies were not after people at all.
Their target is that leg!
Or rather, some kind of energy on that leg is attracting them.
Although this would prevent their casualties, given the previous anomalies of Daida and Sato Saori, he always felt that this was not a good thing.
After much deliberation...
"retreat!"
He decisively issued the order.
"Contract the defenses! Abandon the outer perimeter and hold the deep pit to the death!"
Upon hearing the order, the men in black scattered around quickly retreated.
"Sir, what should we do with those two girls?"
One of the team members pointed to the girl, Daida Mei, and Sato Saori, who were hiding behind the ruins in the distance.
Shadow Killer glanced at it.
An extremely absurd scene is unfolding.
The surging horde of corpses automatically split up as it passed the place where the two girls were hiding, perfectly avoiding them.
A few zombies accidentally squeezed through, then immediately turned around and left, instinctively sensing the presence of their natural enemies.
"Ignore them." Shadow Assassin withdrew his gaze. "There's something strange about them. Hold the target at all costs!"
The defensive line instantly contracted to the edge of the deep pit.
The pressure has increased exponentially.
The rate at which ammunition is being consumed is alarmingly high.
"Click!"
A team member's rifle magazine was emptied.
Just as he was about to change, a huge mutated zombie fell from the sky, its gaping maw smashing down on him.
At the critical moment.
A tremendous roar came from the end of the street.
A black pickup truck, whipping up a violent gust of wind, smashed through abandoned vehicles on the street corner and plunged straight into the center of the battlefield.
The pickup truck made an extremely arrogant dragon-like tail swing and came to a steady stop in the middle of the horde of corpses.
The car door opened.
Lin Fan jumped out of the passenger seat.
He glanced at the densely packed zombies around him, then at the Dark Night Squad surrounded in the middle, before finally fixing his gaze on Dada Mei and Sato Saori.
"Wow, it's quite lively here."
Lin Fan waved to the two women.
"Long time no see, have you missed me?"
The girl stared wide-eyed, and after recognizing the person, immediately swore.
"Lin Fan! You finally decided to die and come back!"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes; this woman never said anything nice.
At this moment, the surrounding zombies were attracted by the noise of the pickup truck and roared as they rushed towards Lin Fan and his group.
However, once they got close enough, they suddenly seemed to lose their target or encounter something terrifying, and turned back towards the deep pit at the entrance of Umbrella.
At the same time, the driver's cab door opened.
Lin Jianguo stepped out of the car.
He ignored the surrounding horde of zombies, his gaze fixed on the giant leg at the bottom of the pit and the endless stream of zombies.
"You dare touch my legs?"
Having said that, he took a step forward.
In an instant, the ground cracked.
A ring of dark red flames emanated from him and swept outwards violently.
The intense heat instantly devoured everything.
Some of the fungal zombies attracted to him turned to ashes the moment they came into contact with his high temperature, before they could even get close.
No bone fragments left.
This devastating scene plunged the entire battlefield into deathly silence.
The members of the Dark Night Squad stood frozen in place.
Shadow Killer's hand holding the gun trembled slightly.
Daida and Sato Saori were completely dumbfounded.
Only Lin Fan watched all of this with amusement, as if he were watching a grand spectacle.
"Old Lin, stop showing off and get your legs moving."
Seeing his old man's arrogant demeanor, Lin Fan couldn't help but speak up.
"We just agreed in the car that we'd let the Vatican know they've offended our family..."
however,
Before he could finish speaking, he noticed that the sky above him had suddenly darkened.
He subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Thick clouds began to roll up in the sky that had been obscured by ashes.
"Something's coming down!"
Before he could figure out what was happening, Li Xiulan, who had just gotten off the bus, said with a dark expression.
Hearing this nonsensical statement, Lin Fan was completely bewildered.
"What came down?"
Just as he finished speaking, the thick clouds suddenly began to churn.
Suddenly, a blinding golden holy light cleaved through the clouds and forcefully descended upon this ruin.
"They're here."
Li Xiulan looked up at the strange phenomenon in the sky, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness...
