Chapter 311 You fought him and you're still alive?
"this……"
Hearing Lin Fan say this, Victor fell silent; he really couldn't find a reason to refute it.
"Really? Are these animals that vengeful?"
Zhao Lei, standing to the side, couldn't help but ask, "How did they manage to keep up with the convoy?"
"I don't know."
Lin Fan shook his head.
"But one thing can be made clear."
"What?"
Zhao Lei and Victor spoke at the same time, one in Chinese and the other in English.
"What's before us now."
Lin Fan nodded, gesturing to the monitor screen, and continued,
"These animals, after being compiled, may very well have evolved intelligence, or even..."
Class distinctions may have already emerged.
Look at them, they're all facing the same direction, and there's no sign of them attacking each other.
Lin Fan looked at Victor.
"And as you just said, the giant deer you shot blind wasn't this big when you encountered it before..."
This indirectly confirms another point: these creatures may have entered a phase of rapid evolution.
Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, both Zhao Lei and Victor fell into deep thought.
Although the giant deer was enormous, it was not enough to shock Zhao Lei, who had seen both the large and small crows before.
What truly made him ponder was the sight of the family pets at the stadium, wondering if any of them were as enormous as the giant deer…
But compared to Zhao Lei, Victor was unable to remain calm.
After all, during his escape, he had witnessed the birth of a terrifying creature.
But at this moment, he was also extremely grateful that he and his companions had escaped into Raccoon City.
Of course, while feeling fortunate, he couldn't help but worry.
Fearing that Raccoon City wouldn't be able to withstand the monsters and that the entire city would eventually perish...
Victor stood there, speechless.
"I……"
After a long while, he opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Lin Fan.
"No need to apologize or blame yourself. This would have happened sooner or later even without you."
Lin Fan's tone was calm.
"Even if you don't come, it will be either today or tomorrow. If it's not this deer, it could be something else."
Mutant animals were bound to come after us sooner or later. It's just a coincidence this time.
After saying that, he turned to Zhao Lei.
"Notify all combat units. Level 1 combat readiness."
"clear."
"Night Owl." Lin Fan pressed the communicator.
A few seconds later, Night Owl's voice came through the communicator.
"Young Master Lin, I heard the announcement. What's going on?"
"The horde is coming. They're thirty kilometers away and advancing towards us. They're expected to arrive within two to three hours."
"How many?"
"I estimate there are over three hundred. The leader is a mutated giant deer that is ten meters tall."
There was a moment of silence on the communicator.
"Ten meters?"
"right."
"Damn," Night Owl cursed, "It's so big."
"It is indeed quite large, but it is also time to test the strength of the combat troops."
"Get everyone ready for battle. Notify all newly trained evolved beings to assemble at the North City Wall."
"receive."
Lin Fan switched channels.
"Howard."
"exist."
"How are the mutated dogs doing over there?"
"We're ready to fight, boss. That German Shepherd weighs over 800 pounds now, and it can bite through a steel pipe in one bite. It's just a bit temperamental; it doesn't recognize anyone but me."
"Alright. Take all the animals you're training to the north wall."
"clear."
Lin Fan turned off the communicator and turned to look at everyone in the command center.
"What are you all standing there for? Proceed according to the plan."
In an instant, the entire command center sprang into action.
Zhao Lei had already strode out and begun deploying defenses.
Victor remained standing there, his expression shifting from shock to something else, while he also seemed somewhat bewildered, unsure of what to do.
"Your people will remain in the resettlement area for now."
Lin Fan noticed his inner conflict, gave him a word of advice, and then walked outside.
"I also want to join the fight." Only then did Victor's face show a resolute expression, as if he had made a decision.
Lin Fan stopped and looked back at him.
"you?"
"Even though I have a knee injury, I can still fire a gun."
Victor's tone was firm.
"That thing was coming for me. I can't hide behind it and let someone else shield me."
Lin Fan scrutinized him for a few seconds.
"Your gun has been surrendered."
"Give me one then."
"..."
Lin Fan looked at him for a while, then said to the guard at the door:
"Give him a rifle. Take her to the city wall to meet Zhao Lei and the others, and don't let him wander off."
The guard nodded upon hearing this, and then led Victor away.
……
With Lin Fan's order, the entire city began to operate like a giant machine.
Along the way, you could see survivors and patrol personnel who had been mobilized everywhere.
Crates of ammunition are being loaded onto trucks.
Most of the combat personnel gathered towards the north wall.
Ordinary residents were guided to a refuge area in the center of the city.
Soon, a large number of combatants gathered on the open ground inside the defensive wall on the north side of the city.
Looking from the inside, there is a row of reinforced concrete platforms at the bottom of the mycelial wall, with a firing position every few meters on each platform.
At this time, more than a dozen armed personnel wearing special wristbands were already in position, checking weapons and ammunition.
Zhao Lei, who was organizing the defense, heard his subordinate report that Li Yuanchao had sent Victor over. He didn't say much, just glanced at the man, took a complete set of weaponry from the weapons case and threw it to him, followed by a bracelet.
"Remember, you can only approach the defensive wall if you're wearing the wristband. Grab your weapon and find a shooting position to crouch down."
Victor took the equipment, put on the wristband, and skillfully pulled back the bolt to check it.
"What part of the target are you aiming at?"
"Naturally, it's Na's brain."
Zhao Lei said, "However, the skulls of these mutated beasts are generally very thick. If you can't penetrate them, then aim for their eyes."
He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly seemed to remember something and gave Victor a meaningful look.
"You're pretty good at getting eye shots, aren't you?"
Victor: "..."
He ignored Zhao Lei and climbed onto the platform with his gun on his back.
After taking his firing position, he saw the view outside the mycelium wall from the inside of the city wall for the first time.
The lush, verdant hills stretched to the horizon. At the edge of the mutated jungle in the distance, no herds of animals were visible.
But Victor knew they were moving this way.
……
Time passed by, second by second.
The drone footage showed that the herd had advanced to a position 12 kilometers away from the base.
On the city wall, all the firing positions were already filled with people.
Zhao Lei led his men on the eastern section of the city wall, while Night Owl's squad was on the western section.
Several unfamiliar faces were standing in the middle section.
Victor noticed those people.
Their equipment is quite different from that of other armed personnel.
They had no weapons, but there was a faint crackling of electricity between the fingers of one of them.
The concrete ground beneath the other person's feet was slowly deforming, as if being kneaded by some force.
There's one more—
Victor rubbed his eyes.
The surface of that person's body was slowly being covered with a layer of grayish-white, scaly substance.
"Don't stare," a marksman whispered to him. "Those are evolved humans. Our base's true trump cards."
Upon hearing this warning, Victor quickly looked away.
Evolver?
He had heard of the word, but had never seen it in person.
There's no time to think about it anymore.
Because a grayish-brown shadow appeared on the distant horizon, and the ground trembled slightly.
He quickly focused his gaze and saw one, then two, then five.
then……
Then a shadow appeared, surging out of the strange forest like a tide.
In an instant, the ground could be felt shaking violently across the entire city wall.
Viktor didn't dare to hesitate and quickly looked down at the scope, looking through the rifle's sights.
He saw that the group charging at the front was a pack of mutated wolves, twice the size of normal gray wolves, with their fur gone and replaced by black chitinous shells.
They run at extremely high speeds, and at the same time they spread out in a fan shape, covering a width of about two hundred meters in front of them.
Behind the wolf pack were wild boars.
Compared to those mutated wolves, these mutated wild boars have swelled to the size of cows.
Its rough, gray skin was covered with lumps of hard, fleshy growths, and when it ran, the ground shook.
Further on, there were various mutated monsters that Victor couldn't name.
Some have hooves, some have claws, and some are so indistinguishable that you can't tell them apart.
But these are not the most noteworthy aspects.
What's most striking is the enormous figure that bursts out of the woods right in the middle of the herd.
One-eyed giant deer.
It walked in the very center of the herd, its pace neither hurried nor slow.
Standing nearly ten meters tall, each step it takes leaves a deep crater in the ground beneath its feet.
The enormous antlers cast shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun, covering a large area.
Its only remaining left eye was staring straight at the direction of the mycelial wall.
The moment their eyes met, Victor felt as if something had squeezed his heart.
That eye.
That eye didn't hold the instincts of a wild animal, hunger, or the desire to hunt.
It's anger.
The anger had already overflowed.
"It really did catch up with us."
Victor gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.
The archer next to him glanced at him.
"You recognize that thing?"
"Yes. We crossed paths on Highway 81."
"You fought that thing and still survived?"
