Chapter 269 Base Broadcast
Chapter 269 Base Broadcast
"Lin Fan..."
Just as Lin Fan made his decision, his mother's voice came from the doorway.
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned to look at the door.
I saw my mother standing in the doorway with her arms crossed, her expression saying... I need a perfect explanation from you.
"mom."
"Don't call me Mom, it won't do any good."
"Are you going out alone?"
Seeing that his mother's expression was off, Lin Fan quickly turned to look at Lin Jianguo, who was following behind his mother.
However, after the old man sensed his gaze, he immediately turned his head away and began to carefully study the fire extinguisher instructions on the wall.
traitor.
"Mom, about this—"
"What do you mean by this and that?"
"You little brat, we have a monster eyeing us all around us, and you still want to go out and cause trouble?"
Lin Fan paused for a second, then explained.
"Mom, that's not being promiscuous, that's what I'm doing."
"Serious business? Don't think I've been idle these past few days. I've observed that monster. What if you get infected too?"
"No surprises will occur."
"You say you can't, so you can't?"
Li Xiulan's tone wasn't angry, but it was more unbearable than anger.
"I've already tested it; the Awakened Ones have absolutely no chance against that monster."
"Right now, the only thing that can resist that monster is your steamed bun bacteria."
Is that true?
Hearing his mother say this, Lin Fan looked at Lin Jianguo in surprise, trying to get some answers from him.
But to my surprise, this old guy got hooked on pretending.
Helpless, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Li Xiulan, however, seeing his silence, finally couldn't bear it and asked:
"You insist on going?"
"We have to go."
Lin Fan's tone was very calm.
"Mom, if those nuclear power plants aren't dealt with, they'll eventually affect Raccoon City. Then all of you will be in danger."
"Then let your dad go. Or I can go. Do you think your dad and I can't handle this?"
"Uh... I don't think so, you guys can handle it."
Lin Fan shook his head.
"But that would be a real waste."
Li Xiulan's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't.
She realized that this little rascal was determined to go.
"...How many days will it take you to come back?"
"At most a week."
"No, five days."
Li Xiulan gave a timeframe, then added, "If you don't come back by the fifth day, I'll come find you myself."
"Okay." Lin Fan was overjoyed when he heard his mother agree.
Seeing his appearance, Li Xiulan felt a surge of anger. So she decided to turn away and leave, but after taking two steps, she stopped and said something without looking back.
"Be careful on the road, don't try to be a hero, and don't eat anything you shouldn't."
"Mom, I'm going to get some radiation, not to go grocery shopping."
Stop being so cheeky.
As he spoke, Lao Da's figure disappeared through the doorway.
Lin Fan stood still, shook his head, and then continued walking out.
Before I even left the building, I was blocked again.
This time there are two people.
Daida and Sato Saori stood on either side of the exit.
"Lin Fan, I heard from your aunt that you're going out? Can I come with you?" Dai Da Mei asked directly.
Sato Saori, who was standing to the side, did not say anything, but her attitude spoke volumes.
My mom is such a chatterbox.
Lin Fan glanced at the two of them and shook his head.
"No, I'm here on business, not for a stroll, and you all have to stay here too."
"Why?" the simple-minded girl asked, confused. "With the two of us around, you'll have an extra bit of help. What if we encounter infected on the way..."
"I can handle infected individuals on my own."
Lin Fan interrupted her, "Bringing the two of you along would be a real burden."
Upon hearing Lin Fan compare her to a burden, the simple-minded girl pouted, clearly unconvinced.
Lin Fan ignored her and instead looked at Sato Saori: "Saori, you try to persuade her."
"ah???"
Sato Saori looked completely bewildered. She glanced at Lin Fan, then at the dazed girl, and finally blurted out,
"Sister Dai, I think he's right."
"What the hell? Whose side are you on?"
The naive girl was speechless with anger at Sato Saori.
At this moment, Lin Fan spoke up:
"Instead of following me, you two should stay here and train properly with Night Owl."
"What are you practicing?"
"Practice to the heavens... what else is there to practice? Of course, it's combat skills."
Lin Fan rolled his eyes and continued,
"You've been killing zombies for two days, and you really think you can fly to the sky, huh?"
You two are indeed quite capable, but you lack practical experience.
Night Owl is far superior to you in combat skills. It's better to learn from her during this time than to blindly follow me.
Daida wanted to argue, but she also knew that Lin Fan was telling the truth.
When she encountered a high-level infected last time, she almost had a mishap, and it was Night Owl who saved the day.
"...Could you take us out next time?"
"That's hard to say."
Lin Fan patted her shoulder.
"Alright, go do what you're supposed to do."
……
Half an hour later, the west gate of the Raccoon City base slowly opened.
A modified military Hummer drove out, its spore protection device on the roof removed; outside of Raccoon City's spore defense line, it was just for show.
Lin Fan sat in the driver's seat with the window half open. On the passenger seat were a printed map and two bottles of mineral water.
A pack sat on the back seat, containing compressed biscuits and several cans of food.
He picked up the walkie-talkie and pressed the call button.
"Mark, I'm going out. Keep your communications open, and contact me directly if you need anything."
"Roger that, boss. Have a safe trip."
"Okay. Oh, and keep an eye on Xia Yanshan's situation for me. If they send another communication request..."
"Still leaving it to dry?"
"No, answer them directly." Lin Fan paused for a moment, "But don't let them know I'm not here. Just say I'm busy."
"clear."
The walkie-talkie was placed back on the dashboard.
The Hummer drove southwest along the highway.
The outline of Raccoon City grew smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror until it disappeared completely.
Instead, a desolate North American landscape emerged.
Most of the buildings on both sides of the road are dilapidated, and some are covered by vegetation.
It wasn't ordinary vegetation, but rather mycelium and moss with an eerie color.
Traces of spore infection are visible everywhere.
Occasionally, you can see overturned cars, scattered suitcases, and even shriveled and deformed corpses on the roadside.
Lin Fan glanced at it, but didn't look at it for long, and continued to press the accelerator.
Out of boredom, he tried turning on the car radio and tuning to several channels, but they were all white noise.
Finally, a faint looping broadcast was captured on a frequency band.
"...This is Umbrella Raccoon City base...All survivors...Safe zone established...Duplicate..."
I go……
Domingo is really going to pull off some crazy stunts; he's even created a doomsday survival camp.
Lin Fan was surprised when he heard their own broadcast.
No wonder I haven't seen that old guy Domingo for so long; he's been playing around with the radio here.
