Chapter 97 Please Be More Confident
"Don't stay so far away."
Lin Fan sat in the back seat of the armored personnel carrier, looking at the American soldiers who seemed to be glued to the door, and shrugged helplessly.
however,
Several fully armed soldiers wearing gas masks remained unmoved, staring intently at Lin Fan.
That look was like staring at a nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment, or like looking at some indescribable Cthulhu monster.
Even though Lin Fan in front of me looks like a sunny, cheerful young man.
But the soldiers still dared not be careless in the slightest.
They didn't even dare to answer easily.
"Actually, I'm not poisonous."
Lin Fan sincerely explained,
"Those fungal infections were an accident; it wasn't my intention..."
Upon hearing this, the captain on the other side twitched his lips twice.
Not poisonous?
Isn't this what you originally wanted?
Are you trying to fool an idiot?
They had just witnessed it with their own eyes; the other party merely waved his hand, and the sky full of green spores seemed to have eyes and move aside.
Now you're saying this has nothing to do with you?
Do we look like idiots to you?
"Ahem... Sir, you jest."
The captain's voice, muffled and trembling slightly, came through the gas mask.
"Of course we trust you, but... it's the rule, wartime regulations, to keep our distance."
"Alright."
Lin Fan didn't insist, and even crossed his legs quite comfortably.
As long as they're fed and given an aircraft carrier, these people can do whatever they want.
The convoy sped through the devastated streets.
The once bustling Raccoon City has now become a living hell.
Everywhere there were burning vehicles, shattered shop windows, and people swaying and with their heads bursting from fungal infections.
Strangely, however, these monsters did not stray far from the area where Umbrella's headquarters were located.
And when they sensed the car passing by, they didn't rush at it as usual. Instead, they retreated as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
The soldiers inside the vehicle witnessed this scene and recalled what Lin Fan had just said.
Take a look.
These monsters treat you like an ancestor, and you still say it has nothing to do with you?
Do you really think everyone is a fool?
The journey was smooth and took less than half an hour.
The convoy arrived at a temporary resettlement camp located on the outskirts of the city.
This used to be a stadium, but now it's packed with refugees who have been evacuated from the city.
Cries, coughs, and prayers mingled together.
The air was filled with a strange smell of disinfectant mixed with mold.
Lin Fan jumped out of the car and took a deep breath.
"Hmm, the quality of your campsite is really quite poor."
The captain looked embarrassed upon hearing this.
"Sir, the conditions here are basic. Um... we may not have Chinese food, but we can prepare Western food, all you can eat."
"No problem, I'm not picky. Give me some steak first!"
Lin Fan waved his hand and strode inside.
He urgently needs to replenish his energy.
While being resurrected from the dead is exhilarating, rebuilding one's physical body consumes real biological energy.
Moreover, this consumption is not simply a consumption of energy.
In short...
He's always hungry every time he revives!
Just as Lin Fan was pondering how much he should eat, a familiar voice suddenly came from the side.
"Family members, I really didn't expect this..."
"I thought I could escape bad luck by coming to the United States, but who knew I would encounter something like this as soon as I landed!"
That really proves it.
They came in perfectly fine, but they can't go back!
"Waaaaah, I don't want to turn into a mushroom! I want to go home and eat hot pot!"
Lin Fan paused and turned to look.
Not far away, two dusty-looking girls were huddled in a corner by a tent.
"Wow, I even ran into someone I know here?"
Lin Fan was taken aback, then turned and walked in that direction.
Meanwhile, the chat room of Daida Mei's mobile phone was filled with "hahaha" and "heartbreaking".
"Don't be afraid, old woman. We're born with an unlucky body, what are we afraid of? Even viruses dislike you."
"Yes, yes, that's fate. Just accept it."
"Wait! Look who's behind the streamer?"
Just as the girl was about to retort to the comments, she suddenly felt someone tap her on the shoulder, which startled her.
"what!"
The girl screamed, thinking she had encountered a perverted American, and was so frightened she almost threw her phone away.
"Are you trying to call back the soul?"
Just then, a lazy voice rang out behind her.
That voice... why does it sound so familiar?
The girl was startled, then subconsciously turned her head back.
When he saw Lin Fan standing behind him, his eyes widened in surprise.
"Lin...Lin Fan?!"
How are you still alive?
"Depend on."
I was in a good mood when I saw someone I knew, but that old woman ruined it all.
"Why are you still holding a grudge, you old woman? It's just that I stole some pocket money from you, is it really necessary to curse me like this?"
Sato Saori, on the other hand, opened her mouth into an "O" shape the moment she saw him, as if she had seen a ghost.
But she quickly came to her senses and stepped forward with a look of surprise.
"That's great! Lin Sang didn't die. I knew it. A good person like Lin Sang wouldn't die so easily."
"A good person? Silly girl, you seem to have some misunderstanding about the word 'good person'?"
The naive girl rolled her eyes and continued.
"If he can be considered a good person, then I guess there are no bad people in this world."
Hey.
You're absolutely right.
But I won't admit it.
Looking at the two chattering women, Lin Fan suddenly felt that these two women were also quite unlucky.
They truly are there wherever there is disaster.
"By the way, Lin Fan, how did you survive?"
Just then, Daida Mei suddenly changed the subject.
"When we left, that place had been nuked."
"Then I'm just lucky to be alive." Lin Fan proudly raised his head.
"You're just bragging!" Da Mei couldn't stand his smug look.
"Since you don't believe me, then forget it..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Sato Saori spoke up.
"Lin-san, stop teasing me. Actually, when we saw the explosion... Waaah... Waaah..."
The naive girl quickly covered Sato Saori's mouth, stopping her from speaking. Then she turned to Lin Fan and said...
"Don't listen to this idiot's nonsense."
Lin Fan looked on with suspicion, unable to understand the thought processes of these two, but he explained:
"Actually, after you two left that day, I also secretly ran away."
However, due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, I boarded the wrong ship, and that's how I ended up here..."
Is this even possible?
Hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Dai Da Mei suddenly felt that the money she spent on the two plane tickets wasn't so great after all.
But it's something I should say...
Don't be fooled by what she says.
But the moment he saw Lin Fan, his depressed mood from being trapped here was somewhat alleviated.
The feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land still made her very happy.
"Sri Lanka No. 1...!"
Sato Saori, who was standing to the side looking completely bewildered, stared at Lin Fan with sparkling eyes.
"Lin-san, you're amazing!"
"What's the use of being good-natured?"
Sato Saori's fangirl-like behavior immediately annoyed the big sister.
"No matter how capable they are, they're still just like the two of us, locked up like dogs."
"Hey...you silly girl, that's not right of you."
Lin Fan looked at the naive girl with a smile.
"I need to reiterate, they are detaining you, not me."
"I came here to eat."
"You're just bragging. You're talking about eating? You'll just get an expired calorie bar later."
The naive girl looked at him with disdain, "I really don't know where you get your confidence from."
However, as she was speaking, several soldiers walked over carrying steaming hot steaks and roast chickens.
"Sir! Your meal!"
Several soldiers set up the tables and chairs they had brought, placed the food on the tables, and thoughtfully set out the knives and forks for him. Then they stepped back three meters and stood at attention.
This smooth and effortless maneuver truly left both Dai Da Mei and the viewers in the live stream completely dumbfounded.
【Wait, holy crap? What kind of treatment is this?】
Why are these American soldiers being so polite to him?
[Could this guy be a hidden master?]
Holy crap! Isn't that the guy who went missing in Japan?
[It's come back to life?!]
[Wow! A nuclear bomb didn't kill him? Is this guy some kind of cockroach?]
Wait, what's he doing in the US? And he seems... doing pretty well?
Although Daidai and Sato Saori didn't say anything, their undisguised expressions of shock revealed the shock they were feeling.
That's a slap in the face!
That's a real slap in the face!
Look at others, then look at yourself...
There's simply no comparison!
While the two girls were shocked, they couldn't help but swallow hard, their stomachs growling as they looked at the sizzling steak.
Since the disaster broke out, she and Saori have only eaten two pieces of expired chocolate provided by the authorities.
"Want some?"
Seeing their embarrassed expressions, Lin Fan smiled and asked.
The silly girl nodded frantically.
"Please, please, give me a bite, Godfather!"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes. This woman's mood changed faster than flipping through a book.
"Woman, where's your face?"
"Is that thing of any use, Godfather? Please..."
"Stop, stop, stop. I don't accept my goddaughter's fetishes."
"No need for the godfather title, just be polite to me in the future."
As he spoke, he pushed the food from the plate in front of the two of them.
"Alright, from now on, you are my silly little sister's half-brother..."
Daida and Sato Saori didn't stand on ceremony; they took the plates and started eating heartily, showing no regard for their image.
Lin Fan had no choice but to raise his hand and call over the soldier from before, asking him to make a few more portions for him.
Meanwhile, the younger sister, while eating, kept asking indistinctly:
"Lin Fan, do you think I'm really unlucky? Why does something always happen to me wherever I go? Like in Japan, and now it's happening here too..."
Lin Fan was taken aback when he heard her ask that question, and then he almost burst out laughing inside.
"You're only finding out now?"
"Huh?" The silly girl looked at him with a blank expression, but she didn't stop chewing.
Lin Fan began to deceive people with a straight face:
"Do the math yourself. You go to the land of cherry blossoms, and the land of cherry blossoms is gone."
You came to America, and Raccoon City exploded.
I was doing just fine, but then I ran into you, and suddenly I was being chased by a nuclear bomb, and then I had to escape from a horde of zombies.
"Tell me, if this isn't your problem, whose problem is it?"
The silly girl was stunned.
It seems, it appears, that's really the case.
Even the meat in my mouth doesn't taste good anymore.
"Is it really...my fault?" She was somewhat doubtful of herself.
"Be confident, remove the question mark."
Lin Fan patted her shoulder earnestly.
"From now on, when you go out, look at the Chinese calendar instead of causing trouble for the Earth. If all else fails, just buy a ticket to Mars. There's no one there, so you can do whatever you want."
The live stream audience burst into laughter instantly.
[Grab the bamboo shoots!]
[Although it's a fallacy, I actually find it quite reasonable!]
Is this PUA? I've learned something new.
In fact, Lin Fan knew very well what was going on.
It's not that she's unlucky; it's that this unlucky kid always manages to run into her.
However, he wouldn't say that to the other party.
Seeing the girl, Daida, sinking into deep self-blame, Lin Fan felt no remorse and even wanted to eat two more steaks.
Just then, the captain, who had been observing the area from a distance, pressed the communicator in his ear.
"Reporting to command, the target has been in close contact with two Asian women."
"They seem to have a close relationship; in fact... he even shared his food with them."
On the other end of the communicator, Smith, who was currently in charge of the Hexagon, suddenly had a bright idea in his eyes.
"Investigate! Investigate the identities of those two women immediately!"
"This might be the monster's weakness!"
"If we get control of them, we might have another trump card to control that monster!"
Lin Fan was busy finishing the food in front of him.
In just ten minutes, a five-person serving of steak and three roast chickens had been devoured by him.
The hunger finally subsided somewhat.
He now understands that every time he eats, it is in preparation for his next resurrection.
If things continue like this, won't I become a complete idiot?
"belch--"
Lin Fan ate and drank his fill, let out a burp, and stood up.
"I'm full, it's time to go."
"Are you leaving?"
The girl looked up, sauce still smeared on her lips.
"Where are you going? Take us with you! This place is terrifying!"
"I can't bring any."
Lin Fan shook his head.
"What I'm about to do is ten thousand times more dangerous than this."
He's going to the west coast.
Go and meet that "Eastern Tyrannosaurus" that strikes fear into the hearts of the American people.
What's the point of bringing two burdens along?
but……
Looking at the two trembling girls in front of him, he sighed.
Although he's usually sharp-tongued, he's still from the same hometown.
And it was someone they knew.
Naturally, they wouldn't ignore it.
"Hand out."
Lin Fan suddenly said.
"what?"
The girl looked at him with a puzzled expression, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out her hand.
Sato Saori didn't say anything, she just stretched out her little hand.
Seeing this, Lin Fan didn't say anything more, but stretched out his index finger and gently tapped the back of their hands.
There was no light, and no feeling.
However, in Lin Fan's perception, a special aura belonging to the "Lord of Calamity" had already been imprinted on them.
This aura has no other purpose.
Its only use is...
It can protect both of them from harm.
Fungi, viruses, and zombies, once they sense this aura, will instinctively regard them as "the same kind" or "superiors," and thus avoid them.
"What is this?"
Sato Saori looked curiously at the back of her hand, but saw nothing.
"Enchantment".
Lin Fan made it up on the spot.
"I've already enchanted you two; the monsters outside won't attack you, and you won't get infected."
"Pshaw, what a load of bull."
The silly girl pouted.
Although I didn't believe it out loud, I felt inexplicably more at ease.
"Alright, stay here and don't wander off. I might come back."
Lin Fan waved his hand and turned to walk towards the group of soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.
"Let's go, to the west coast."
Watching Lin Fan's departing figure, Dai Da Mei suddenly felt that this seemingly carefree guy was actually... quite handsome?
"Saori, don't you feel...?"
"What do you think?"
"Did you feel like the air around you became fresher for a moment just now?"
"Is there?"
Sato Saori stared blankly around, then twitched her bizi.
