Chapter 256 Temporary Retreat, Defensive Circle
Although the army of infected creatures from Shoggoth had retreated,
But looking at the densely packed zombies, no one dared to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lin Fan stood on the edge of the rooftop terrace, observing the situation below.
Below, the green and black spore zombies were still moving slowly, gradually spreading throughout the city's streets and alleys.
Especially those evolved zombies, not only have black keratin covering their bodies, but they also move more than three times faster, and some even grow tentacle structures similar to those of infected.
At this moment, these spore zombies, perhaps because they had tasted the sweetness, were all in a state of excitement, frantically searching for traces of infected beings.
Even the survivors hiding in shops by the roadside ignored it.
"All combat teams shall remain on alert and shall not fire without orders."
Mark, who had been observing the situation closely, was worried that someone might alert the zombies. After speaking into the communicator, he cautiously looked at Lin Fan, waiting for further instructions.
Lin Jianguo, too, wore a serious expression, arms crossed, eyes fixed on the zombies' movements, mentally prepared to strike at any moment.
Just then, Daida Mei's voice came through the communication channel:
"Hey Lin Fan, are you sure your mushroom heads aren't going to turn around and bite us? There are at least two thousand of them around here right now."
However, Lin Fan had no time to pay attention to her at that moment.
At that moment, he felt that his brain was under an unbearable burden.
Hundreds of thousands of frenzied streams of consciousness surged in simultaneously, each roaring with hunger and slaughter.
This is only because Da Wu's mental strength is suppressing it, barely maintaining order, but after a while, his brain can't take it anymore.
Now that the battle is over, he needs to deal with this problem immediately and cannot allow these zombies to roam the city.
"Big Crow, can you control these zombies long-term?"
With his will, the black tentacles enveloping him twitched slightly, and then the Great Crow's voice resounded in his consciousness:
"The prisons are large... they can be controlled... but only their movements... they have no thoughts... they act entirely on instinct..."
"What do you mean?"
"It's just that... I can make them go east... not west... but I can't make them... do complicated things... their brains... are rotten..."
Lin Fan thought for a moment: "Is it possible to keep them stationary in a certain area?"
"Yes... as long as I dedicate some energy to continuous output... they won't leave the designated area..."
"That's enough."
Upon learning that Da Wu could easily control these zombies, Lin Fan quickly sketched out a map of Raccoon City in his mind.
The city is surrounded by a ring of abandoned industrial areas and a road network, beyond which lie wilderness and forests.
If these spore zombies are deployed on the perimeter, forming a ring of defense...
"Big Crow, listen up. Drive all the zombies to the outskirts of the city, spread them out along the outer ring road, keep the distance between them, and form a defensive circle according to my idea."
"This is easy... Leave it to me, Lao Da!"
Da Wu acted immediately, its spiritual power spreading out once more.
It then covered Lin Fan's mental power and took over control of the entire zombie horde.
In an instant, the spore zombies on the street below, who had just been feeding on the remains of infected, suddenly stopped moving.
Then they began to move.
Moreover, they were not scattered and wandering aimlessly, but retreated in a directional and orderly manner to the outskirts of the city.
One, two, a hundred, a thousand...
Tens of thousands of zombies turned at the same time, covered with various poisonous mushrooms, and with stiff but orderly steps, surged outwards along the street, creating an indescribably spectacular scene.
The soldiers and survivors hiding in various places couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw this scene.
One of the survivors, holding a gun, was somewhat incredulous:
"They... they're gone already?"
The soldier next to him pressed down on his gun:
"Keep your voice down, don't disturb them."
Compared to these clueless people, the naive girl on the roof of an abandoned shopping mall not far away twitched her lips as she watched the retreating horde of zombies below.
"Tsk... With so many of them gathered together, wouldn't it be amazing if a storm hit them?"
Hearing this, Sato Saori, who was squatting to the side, gave her a strange look and then said, "Sister Dai, this won't do. These are all Lin, Young Master Lin's underlings..."
"I know, these are all that bastard's descendants..."
The naive girl muttered a complaint and patted Sato Saori's head.
"Alright, let's go back and meet up with them."
After saying that, she jumped toward the roof of a nearby building.
……
Time passed slowly, bit by bit, under people's astonished gazes.
About ten minutes later, the last batch of spore zombies finally left the city area.
It was only at this moment that Lin Fan, who was standing on the rooftop, slowly opened his eyes, but his face was noticeably paler and there was a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.
At the same time, he secretly vowed that he would never do such a brain-taxing stupid thing again unless absolutely necessary.
At this moment, Lin Jianguo, noticing that something was wrong with him, asked with concern, "You little rascal, are you alright?"
"fine."
Lin Fan shook his head.
"It's already been handed over to Big Crow. As long as its spiritual power continues, those zombies will stay obediently on the perimeter."
"Then what are they doing outside? Just standing there?"
"Of course, it's not just about standing."
Lin Fan's lips curled up.
"They will instinctively release spores."
If you stay on the outskirts for a while, the entire area within 50 kilometers of Raccoon City will be shrouded in spore fog.
Any infected organism that enters this area will be parasitized by spores.
Hearing this, Lin Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant: "You're... using zombies as city walls?"
"More or less."
Lin Fan shrugged. "A living city wall, equipped with biological weapons, and most importantly, it doesn't require a salary."
"..."
"You really know how to have fun!"
At this point, Mark, who still didn't know the origin of the spore zombies, couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, this plan is theoretically sound, but what if those zombies evolve and get out of control...?"
"It can't get out of control."
Lin Fan's tone was very confident.
out of control?
How could it possibly get out of control?
He didn't explain much, and simply said...
"As long as I live, they can't turn the world upside down."
Hearing him say that, Mark didn't say anything more.
"Alright, instead of worrying about this, you should send word to clean up the battlefield."
Lin Fan waved his hand, turned around and walked downstairs.
"Clean up all the remains of those infected bodies, leaving no blind spots."
Also, check the water supply system. The US was previously affected by water infiltration by the Shoggoths, and I don't want that to happen in Raccoon City.
"yes!"
Mark turned to carry out the order.
Lin Jianguo followed behind Lin Fan, the father and son walking down the stairs one after the other.
"Xiao Fan".
"Um?"
Do you think that monster will come back?
"meeting."
Lin Fan stopped and nodded affirmatively.
"The death of these parts is nothing to it; as long as that guy doesn't die, it will definitely come back again."
Lin Jianguo frowned: "Then what should we do? We can't just keep guarding it, can we?"
"We can only hold on for now."
Lin Fan shrugged and continued walking down.
"The most important thing right now is not to attack, but to find a way to build up our strength."
"I'll consider a counterattack after I've thoroughly figured out the methods of empowerment."
"Alright."
Lin Jianguo nodded, then suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you. I contacted the authorities back home before, and they've granted you the highest intelligence clearance. They're also coordinating supplies. Just let me know if you need anything."
"This is good news. We need quite a few things. I'll have Levi make a list later, and then you can contact them."
As they spoke, the two had already walked out of the building, and soldiers from the Dark Night Force were already clearing away the wreckage on the street outside.
The air was filled with a foul stench of decay and spore dust, which was unpleasant, but everyone's face showed relief at surviving the ordeal.
At least, Raccoon City was saved.
however--
Compared to the orderly post-war cleanup in Raccoon City, the rest of the United States has completely descended into hell.
