Chapter 384 What exactly did I plant?
If you were to ask what it feels like to be resurrected from a single cell into a living person.
Perhaps no one in the entire world has more authority to speak on this matter than Lin Fan.
Once again, it was created from nothing, without holy light shining down or the sound of chanting.
Lin Fan felt more like he was after a hangover, and someone stuffed a truckload of scraps of meat and bone back into his body and then haphazardly glued it back on with superglue.
First, the skeleton.
Then come the internal organs, blood vessels, and nerves, growing haphazardly like a tangled mess, each finding its own place.
Finally, there's the covering of skin and muscle.
"hiss……"
When the last toenail grew out, Lin Fan lay naked on the scorched earth, gasping for breath.
He slowly opened his eyes, and his vision was filled with an orange-red sky and the pungent smell of sulfur and coke in the air.
"He's alive again."
He sat up, looked down at his perfectly intact body, without even a scar.
The "Infinite Recombination" talent is truly exceptional in terms of recovery ability.
But this process... is a bit hard to describe.
He stood up and looked around.
Then, he fell silent.
Centered on it, a giant crater with a diameter of more than three kilometers is branded on the earth like an ugly scar.
At the bottom of the pit, dark red magma was still slowly flowing, emitting billowing heat.
The once dense, dark forest is now devoid of even a single blade of grass.
The entire area has been completely reduced to barren land.
"Did I...go a little too far?"
Lin Fan scratched his head and muttered to himself.
This power is several times greater than the last time.
He was even a little scared afterward.
That shockwave... over in Raccoon City...
Thinking of this, he felt a pang of anxiety. He didn't even have time to admire his masterpiece. He covered his bare body with black scales and started running towards the base.
But as soon as he took a step, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in a small vortex of flowing lava in the center of the crater.
There were two faint lights there.
One spot was a deep, dark light, and the other was a faint, inconspicuous touch of green.
Lin Fan frowned and hesitated for a moment.
Curiosity ultimately triumphed over the desire to return home.
He carefully slid down the pit wall, the scorched earth beneath his feet burning hot, but still within the range of his black scales' tolerance.
Approaching that vortex of lava, an intense heat wave washes over you.
At the same time, he also saw clearly the two things in the pit.
It was a fist-sized, jet-black stone.
It was currently suspended quietly above the magma, with wisps of visible black mist swirling around its surface.
It doesn't seem to be supported by magma; rather, it's more like its own power allows it to ignore gravity.
Beside the black stone, a seed, entirely emerald green and only the size of an egg, also floated, emitting a faint life force.
In the heart of this destruction, the seed stood out starkly.
And the moment he saw the seed, his pupils contracted sharply.
This seed...
He's seen it!
No, it should be said that he has an exactly the same one in his hand!
And he even got her pregnant.
And it sprouted and grew into a sapling.
Suddenly, he thought of the giant tree that could move and control the shadows.
Could this thing be the culprit that caused the Black Forest?
If so...
Doesn't that mean...?
A terrifying thought struck his mind like lightning.
His face turned deathly pale in an instant.
"Nuclear power plant...development zone..."
He muttered to himself unconsciously, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
If everything goes as he thinks, wouldn't that mean he has personally planted a source of disaster that could trigger the Black Forest?
Thinking about all this, Lin Fan's expression became even more unpleasant.
"What the hell..."
Lin Fan slapped himself hard.
At this moment, he dared not imagine what would happen if that were the case...
He dared not think any further.
At this moment, he no longer cared about studying the strange black stone. He grabbed it and the seed, turned around, and ran wildly out of the pit.
He has only one thought in mind right now.
Back to Raccoon City! Contact the nuclear power plant immediately!
……
When Lin Fan rushed back to the outskirts of Raccoon City, it was already close to evening.
The guards who were rebuilding the watchtower at the entrance quickly noticed him.
"It's Young Master Lin! Young Master Lin is back!"
The news spread like wildfire throughout the base.
At this moment, Lin Fan had no interest in paying attention to these excited survivors. After entering the base, he headed straight for the municipal building.
Even so, he still saw a scene of utter devastation.
A row of prefabricated houses collapsed, the streets were covered with a thick layer of dust, and there was a burnt smell in the air.
Fortunately, most of the main structures are still standing, and no one was seen dead.
This gave him some relief.
When he arrived at the city hall, he immediately saw Night Owl directing the crowd to clean the streets, as well as Lin Jianguo and Li Xiulan standing by the window of the command room.
At this point, he could finally put his mind at ease.
"You little bastard! You finally know how to come back!"
When Lin Jianguo saw him, he stood in front of the window and started cursing loudly.
Although it was a scolding, everyone could hear the sense of relief in it.
"Dad, Mom."
Lin Fan quickly greeted them and rushed towards Night Owl.
"Night Owl! After I left, did you contact the nuclear power plant?"
His voice trembled slightly, without him even realizing it.
The owl was startled by his hurried manner.
"Huh? No, nothing, it's nothing, I..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Lin Fan, with a grim expression, running quickly toward the command room.
Everyone was puzzled upon seeing this.
"What's gotten into this kid now?"
Lin Jianguo frowned and followed.
Command center, top floor communications room.
Lin Fan pushed the door open, startling the communications soldier inside.
"go out!"
Without saying a word, he sat down at the communication station, put on the headset, and started operating the device with lightning speed.
He switched to the nuclear power plant's dedicated channel.
"Calling the nuclear power plant! Calling the nuclear power plant! Please respond! This is Lin Fan!"
Shila-
All I could hear in the headphones was a series of piercing electrical buzzing sounds.
Lin Fan's heart sank little by little.
"Call Miller! Call Miller!"
His tone gradually intensified, almost shouting.
"Miller! Miller! Answer me!"
Sizzle... sizzle...
However, all he received in response was a series of electrical noises.
The atmosphere in the communications room was extremely tense.
Night Owl and Lin Jianguo, who followed them in, also realized that something was wrong.
"What's wrong?" Lin Jianguo asked in a deep voice.
Lin Fan did not answer.
He took a deep breath, picked up the microphone again, and called out again and again.
"Please respond if you hear me!"
"answer!"
"Answer me!"
Five minutes passed.
Ten minutes passed.
No matter how he called, there was no response from the communicator.
Snapped!
Lin Fan slammed the microphone on the table, the loud noise making Night Owl's heart tremble.
He slowly took off his headphones and turned around.
The lights in the communications room shone on his face, and that face, which usually carried a hint of laziness and unruliness, was now so gloomy it looked like it could drip water.
His eyes no longer held their usual mockery, but only a chilling killing intent.
Night Owl had never seen Lin Fan like this before.
"Young Master Lin...?" he asked tentatively.
Lin Fan didn't look at him, but instead focused his gaze on his father, Lin Jianguo.
"Dad, I need to go out again."
