N-M Chapter 238 Shoggoth
Chapter 238 Shoggoth
The edge of the northern restricted area of Raccoon City.
Outside the newly built, ten-meter-high concrete wall, swarms of spore zombies wandered aimlessly.
The wind howled over the wall.
Lin Fan was toying with a Beretta 92F pistol in his hand. With a click, a bullet was chambered.
He pressed the gun to his temple.
"Young Master Lin! Don't be impulsive!"
Upon seeing this, Night Owl's knees buckled, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, clinging tightly to Lin Fan's leg.
"No, Brother Night Owl, what are you doing? Let go!" Lin Fan looked down at Night Owl.
"I won't!"
The owl was sweating profusely with anxiety.
"I won't stop you if you want to die, but can we go somewhere else? Raccoon City is the territory we just built!"
At this moment, Domingo, the old charlatan, also came over, clasping his hands together in front of his chest:
"Praise be to my God. My Lord, the Night Owl is right."
If your death were to trigger a meteorite impact or a volcanic eruption, tens of thousands of us would be buried with you.
Or, how about I buy you a plane ticket to Washington? Are you going to die at the White House?
"Go away, stop talking nonsense."
Seeing that these people weren't worried about his life or death, Lin Fan rolled his eyes, kicked Night Owl away, and
"I have a serious reason for dying this time."
"It won't make a difference if it's just a day or two!"
Even Mark, that simpleton, jumped in to stop it.
"Boss, we've just recruited over 8,000 people into the city, and the fortifications aren't finished yet."
If a natural disaster were to strike, I, the security captain, would be left with no one to command!
Lin Fan turned to Lin Jianguo, who had remained silent, and asked, "Dad, aren't you going to do anything about them?"
Lin Jianguo puffed on his cigarette, exhaling a smoke ring:
"Son, I think... they have a point."
Your body is too wicked and prone to calamity.
"You wiped out the Vatican last time, I'm scared too!"
"I already said I can control it, what are you all afraid of?"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes, speechless.
"That monster has now completed its evolution. It's directly connected to the source of my talent. I can't feel at ease until I understand it!"
Lin Jianguo stubbed out his cigarette and sighed.
"Alright... fine. But if you're going to die, go somewhere far away."
"...You really are my father."
Speechless, Lin Fan leaped off the ten-meter-high city wall.
boom!
With both feet landing, he crushed the head of a zombie.
The zombies gathered around him scattered as if they had encountered their natural enemy the moment they sensed his aura, and moved away to a certain distance.
Lin Fan took a few steps forward, leaped onto the roof of a building, and then, without hesitation, raised his pistol, aimed it at his chin, and withdrew all his defensive capabilities.
boom!
Gunshots rang out.
The bullet pierced his skull, spraying blood everywhere.
Lin Fan's body lay stiffly on the roof of that building.
On the city wall, everyone's heart jumped into their throat.
The owl stared intently at the sky: "Is it a meteorite?"
Domingo lay on the wall, looking at the ground: "Was there an earthquake? Did the ground crack?"
But after waiting for a full three minutes, nothing happened except for the low growls of the zombies. All was calm.
"There's been no movement at all? Are you guys lying to me?" Mark scratched his bald head.
Lin Jianguo frowned deeply: "The quieter they are, the more they're preparing a major move. Notify the entire city to be on high alert!"
……
At the same time.
Lin Fan's consciousness immediately plunged into absolute darkness after his death.
Immediately afterwards, the familiar feeling of weightlessness came over me.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in that mysterious gray-white space.
The surroundings were shrouded in mist.
It was pitch black beneath my feet. Ahead, rows of ancient, dilapidated tombstones stood silently in the thick fog.
Lin Fan's consciousness drifted toward the group of tombstones.
The condition of the tombstone complex was not much different from when he last explored it.
It remains enormous, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Lin Fan stopped in front of an unmarked tombstone with broken edges.
There were no words on the tombstone, only a tangled, writhing black pattern.
The pattern was somewhat similar to the scales of the monster in the Las Vegas nuclear crater.
Looking at the cracked tombstone, Lin Fan had a bold idea: to figure out what was going on, perhaps the most direct way was to touch it with his hands.
Thinking of this, he immediately reached out and placed his hand on the tombstone without hesitation.
hum-
The instant his palm touched the tombstone, a massive flow of information rushed into his mind.
The incomplete image flickered wildly.
He saw a shapeless mass of black slime wriggling beneath an ancient glacier.
He saw the sludge devour countless living beings, constantly evolving, and eventually growing tentacles and eyes.
He saw that the thing was extremely cunning; it could change its own form and structure at will, and could even perfectly simulate the humans it had devoured.
Finally, the image freezes.
An ancient and obscure name exploded in Lin Fan's mind.
Hugos.
"Shoggoth?"
Lin Fan suddenly opened his eyes and withdrew his hand.
"Is this its name?"
Can it disguise itself? Can it eat people?
Isn't this a combination of an alien and a monster?
To be honest, after learning about the monster, Lin Fan was really a bit stunned.
If this thing can disguise itself as a human, then the US is really in big trouble this time.
Who knows if this thing will split up and end up hiding in the upper echelons of the US military?
However, just as Lin Fan was thinking about these things.
outside world.
The ruins of Las Vegas.
The 100-meter-tall Shoggoth stands on the edge of the nuclear crater.
Its huge black wings slowly unfolded, blocking out the sunlight.
Its eyeless face was aimed in the direction of Raccoon City.
There was a pause of about ten seconds.
They seemed to sense an extremely dangerous, yet destructive aura brewing there.
Its instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm made it abandon its plan to go to Raccoon City.
Shoggoth turned around and his fleshy wings flapped suddenly.
The wind howled.
Its massive body rose from the ground, transforming into a black streak of light that pierced straight into the heart of the United States.
