Chapter 314 Giving a Bath to a Plant That Has Become a Spirit
Below the city wall, the massive horde of beasts completely scattered.
Without Lin Fan giving any order, Howard blew the dog whistle hanging around his neck.
The mutated German Shepherd "Bick" took the lead, leading dozens of mutated domestic cats and dogs in a frenzied attack.
Those once docile pets are now displaying extremely brutal aggression.
A series of intense biting and screams were heard. The fleeing mutated wolf had its throat torn apart by a German Shepherd, while the bulky mutated wild boar had its eyes scratched raw by several mutated orange cats clinging to its back, writhing in pain on the spot.
"Well done!"
Looking at the pets that had performed exceptionally well on the battlefield, Lin Fan sincerely praised them.
"I never imagined that these normally docile cats and dogs could be so ferocious."
Zhao Lei, standing to the side, was equally dumbfounded, repeatedly clicking his tongue in amazement:
"Boss, why do I get the feeling these guys are even more ferocious than our soldiers?"
"Indeed, if properly trained, they can be a great asset."
Lin Fan nodded, looking thoughtfully at the animals fleeing the battlefield below.
"Go down there and tell the brothers cleaning up the battlefield to pay attention and try to catch any of the escaped animals."
"Catch them all, as long as they're not dead and can still breathe. See if we can tame them. If we can, they'll definitely be a great help to us."
"Okay!"
Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Zhao Lei immediately obeyed and happily ran downstairs.
At the same time, he couldn't help but fantasize that one day he would be able to ride a wild boar or something and become a wild boar rider...
……
at the same time,
Cheyenne Mountain refugee camp, thousands of kilometers away.
The piercing air raid sirens wailed incessantly.
Rows of mortars and heavy machine guns intertwined to create a crimson fire net.
While Raccoon City was being attacked by mutated animals, the situation here wasn't much better, as it was also being attacked by mutated monsters.
At this moment, in front of the entire defensive line, fifteen mutated giant bears, each nearly seven meters tall at the shoulder, were charging forward despite a hail of bullets.
These creatures, known for their thick skin and defense even in times of peace, now have all their fur and fat hardened, transforming into natural heavy armor.
Even when hit by a shell, the giant bear's body only swayed slightly. Its thick fur instantly absorbed all the impact and penetrating force of the explosion, leaving only a slight scratch on the outer layer.
The explosion did not cause them much damage; instead, it made them even more agitated.
One by one, like drunkards, they rushed into the position in the blink of an eye.
In an instant, the defensive position composed of dozens of tanks was in chaos, with men and horses falling to the ground.
Behind the defensive line, Mike, the highest-ranking commander of the Cheyenne Mountain defenses, was so anxious that he cursed loudly in the command room.
"Suppressive fire! Shoot it in the eyes! Shoot it in the weak spot!" Mike roared into the walkie-talkie.
"Commander! Our conventional weapons can't penetrate the Anxious Monster's defenses at all! Even armor-piercing rounds just get stuck in the bear meat!" "Damn it, what's that?"
Before everyone could figure out how to deal with these giant bears, they saw that after the giant bears tore a hole in the defensive line, a large number of wild animals rushed towards the defensive line from behind.
Dozens or even hundreds of mutated wolverines and lynxes poured in through the huge gap.
In an instant, Xia Yanshan's already weak defenses were torn apart.
"SOS! SOS immediately!"
Mike ripped off his military cap and slammed it onto the table.
"Immediately send a request for assistance to Raccoon City and demand they send troops immediately!"
The adjutant beside him paused for a moment, then stammered a reminder:
"Sir, in this situation, even the people from Raccoon City probably wouldn't be willing to come to our aid, would they?"
"Don't worry about whether they want to or not, tell them! If they're willing to send troops today, half of Cheyenne Mountain's strategic material depot will be given to them!"
Mike gritted his teeth and roared out his trump card, which was the only thing they could offer right now.
……
at the same time,
The battle in Raccoon City was nearing its end. Lin Fan stood on the city wall, looking down at the cleaned-up battlefield, his brows furrowed as he pondered something.
Just then, Zhao Lei jogged up to his side.
"Boss!! Someone's calling for help!"
Ok?
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback: "Who?"
"It's Cheyenne Mountain!"
Zhao Lei quickly said, "It turns out we weren't the only ones attacked; Xia Yanshan was attacked as well."
"They just sent a distress signal, asking us to come and rescue them."
"Should we go to the rescue?"
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
Zhao Lei nodded. "They said they could give us half of Cheyenne Mountain's inventory so we could go there immediately to provide relief."
"Half the supplies?" Lin Fan was also taken aback by this number.
Although he didn't know how much stuff Xia Yanshan had, he estimated it would be no small amount.
They might even possess heavy weapons.
"Yes, half of them, should we save them?"
"Save them, of course we must save them."
"Alright, I'll go gather the manpower right away, and it would be best to bring along those mutated pets and the evolved human squad as well..."
Upon hearing Lin Fan agree to the rescue, a greedy glint appeared in Zhao Lei's eyes.
"Who told you to gather people?" Li Yuanchao gave him a strange look.
"No... Boss, didn't you say you were going to do a rescue?" Zhao Lei looked at Lin Fan with a blank expression.
"I did say we carried out a rescue, but I didn't say we rescued people, did I? I rescued supplies."
Li Yuanchao glared at Zhao Lei angrily, then continued,
"Alright, go and instruct the logistics department to provide extra meals for all the exhibitors. Also, have Night Owl take some men to check the situation in other areas."
"ah???"
Hearing Lin Fan say this, Zhao Lei was even more confused and scratched his head:
"Are we still going to Cheyenne Mountain?"
"Go to hell! You really don't value your own lives?" Lin Fan rolled his eyes at Zhao Lei and continued.
"Wouldn't it be better to wait until Cheyenne Mountain is completely captured before scavenging for supplies?"
"At that point, we won't need them to share half with us!"
"Um... you can do that?"
"Otherwise? You're really going to be stupid enough to lead your men and charge in? Learn from this, lad!"
Zhao Lei grinned after hearing this, and after a long pause, he managed to utter a single sentence:
"When it comes to settling accounts, you're the best, boss."
……
However, just as Lin Fan was watching the people below clean up the battlefield...
The signs of mutation should begin to spread globally.
The first places to experience abnormal changes were in Europe.
Countless centuries-old castles are tightly entwined by mutated ivy that has emerged from the ground.
Thick vines violently tore through medieval brick walls, occupying the already sparsely populated wilderness.
Of course, compared to these small European countries, the most terrifying place is Africa.
At this very moment, on the already vast and sparsely populated African savanna, a frenzied evolution of food is unfolding.
The world was thrown into chaos.
But there is one place where the style is completely different.
The territory of the Chinese nation in the eastern part of Blue Star.
Outside a huge underground air-raid shelter in the city.
The alloy isolation wall, tens of meters high, had long been the main defensive line.
Hundreds of heavy flamethrowers are neatly arranged on the top of the wall.
The fire dragon spewed out, turning the area outside the city wall a bright red.
A large patch of mutated, thorny vines that had just undergone the mutation and were trying to stretch out and entangle the city's defenses was burned with a crackling sound and emitted a strong burnt smell before it could even reveal its ferocity.
"Power up the flamethrower on the right! The temperature isn't high enough!" a company commander roared through a megaphone.
A platoon leader turned a valve on a pipe and shouted, "Company commander! These plants are incredibly resilient! They're full of sap; they won't dry out anytime soon!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Keep burning!"
The company commander wiped the soot off his face.
"The higher-ups issued a strict order and drew up a list more than half a month ago!"
Any plant that dares to grow recklessly, no matter what it is, will be roasted as the highest-risk target! We've prepared three times the usual amount of fuel; we absolutely cannot let it get over the wall!
The logistics soldiers worked skillfully, replacing the large fuel tanks in groups of three to five.
At this very moment, all nations across the entire planet are preparing for this cataclysmic event, but only China has made preparations in advance.
Several days ago, all the greenery in China had already been uprooted.
Even those that couldn't be pulled up were all sprayed with paraquat.
Inside the highest command headquarters in the capital.
An elderly man stared at the battle reports coming from all over the country on the screen and couldn't help but chuckle twice.
"Great! Excellent!"
Thanks to the top-secret information that Lin Xiaoyou sent back in advance!
We even cleared out all the city's green belts seven days in advance, and even collected and buried the potted plants downstairs!
The old general turned to look at his adjutant.
"Pass out my order! Continue the steady and methodical advance across the entire front!"
If the fire can't withstand it, switch to the latest batch of paraquat! Give those swarming weeds a good bath!
