Capítulo 267: Chapter 267: Lin Fan Finds This Very Strange
"You don't seem very friendly towards me. Also, don't you find it tiring crawling all over the walls?"
Lin Fan looked at the spider-like creature, puzzled. It could clearly stand, yet it insisted on crawling. It was truly strange, giving him an indescribable sense of oddity.
Perhaps it was the kind of sight that made one want to imitate it.
He subconsciously squeezed his fingers, as if eager to try and see if he could climb walls like the creature.
The grotesque being twisted its neck, its gaze gloomy as it stared at Lin Fan.
As if it had found an opportunity.
Lin Fan thought to himself, the creature's way of appearing was strange, and it clearly wanted to attack him, but it was just waiting for the right moment.
Since that was the case…
Lin Fan turned his back to it.
Pretending to have seen nothing.
Seeing Lin Fan's back turned, the grotesque being felt its chance had truly come.
With a sharp roar, it lunged towards Lin Fan.
Its speed was swift.
Just as the grotesque being was about to touch Lin Fan, it was caught by a swift over-the-shoulder throw, slamming hard onto the bed. Under normal circumstances, the bed would definitely shatter into pieces, accompanied by a loud crash.
Something unexpected happened.
The grotesque being passed right through the bed, vanishing into thin air before his eyes.
"Huh!"
Tonight had already shocked Lin Fan several times.
Each time was because of this strange, grotesque being.
At this moment, the vanished grotesque being reappeared behind Lin Fan. A pair of snow-white arms wrapped around his neck, and long, sharp, black fingernails dug into his skin.
A chilling aura enveloped him, the temperature in the room plummeting to the extreme, frost forming in the corners.
Lin Fan's feet left the ground.
Anyone witnessing this scene would undoubtedly scream in terror. For them, such a situation was truly frightening, enough to scare the timid out of their wits.
The grotesque being's nails attempted to pierce Lin Fan's neck, but the skin they touched was like metal, emitting a screeching metallic clang.
Its nails could transmit resentment into a human's body.
But for the grotesque being, the current situation wasn't ideal.
However, it didn't matter anymore.
All it wanted was for this human before it to die.
For the grotesque being, this human posed the greatest threat, hindering its progress.
"So uncomfortable." Lin Fan twisted his neck, feeling a bit itchy. Then, his neck, like a smooth stainless steel pipe, rotated, bringing him face to face with the grotesque being.
The grotesque being, usually impassive, showed a noticeable flicker of emotion in its stagnant eyes.
"This punch will kill you." Lin Fan clenched his fist, speaking seriously to the grotesque being. Then, under the creature's stunned gaze, he swung his fist.
The grotesque being could transform into a transparent form and dissipate into the air.
However, under this punch, it couldn't dodge at all. Its body, subjected to an irresistible force, twisted and spun. A vortex formed in space, and in the blink of an eye… the grotesque being vanished into smoke, completely disappearing from the room.
Everything returned to quiet.
The room returned to its normal temperature.
Lin Fan lay on the bed, watching TV. The program was good. As for what just happened, he didn't take it too seriously, treating it as a mere accident.
The next day!
Morning.
The internet was in an uproar.
Compatriots in Pugu were all eager to return, pleading with the country to bring them back.
Li Yan was staying in Pugu.
Beautiful and with a good figure, she often shared her photos online and had many fans.
Earlier, the country had issued an announcement, reminding citizens abroad that danger was imminent, and for their own safety, they should return home immediately, otherwise, all consequences would be at their own risk.
When Li Yan learned of this announcement,
She scoffed.
Pugu was clearly the safest place; returning home would be courting death.
So, when everyone around her went back,
She even tried to persuade them.
Don't go back.
This is the safest place. If you return, you'll definitely regret it.
And now.
Li Yan posted a long message online.
Hello everyone, my name is Li Yan, and I'm a student staying in Pugu. Because of my studies, I wasn't able to return home in time. Now, I just want to go back. I want to see everyone, see my family. Some people might say that when the country arranged flights to bring us back, I stayed because of my studies. My biggest wish was to succeed in my studies and return to contribute to the country. Please help me, I really just want to go back. There are hundreds of compatriots gathered here now, and we hope the country can bring us home.
With millions of followers,
Her plea for help had a significant impact.
"Oh! I agree that the country should bring them back. Such excellent genes should stay in our own country."
"Even if they didn't come back initially, I think we should bring them back now, as they are our compatriots."
"Beautiful girl, wanna meet up?"
"Meet up my foot, you go to Pugu and meet up."
"Haha, so funny. They didn't want to come back when they were asked to, and now that the situation in Pugu is so bad with grotesque beings, I see her location seems to be where an evil spirit appeared. It looks like it's unsafe, so now she wants to come back."
"Hundreds of lives are at stake, all compatriots. We should still take care of them."
In the conference room.
"Boss, there are some pleas for help appearing online, and they've already caused quite a stir. Should we respond?" A person in charge of monitoring the internet asked.
He didn't know how to answer this kind of situation.
If he had to say something,
He could only say, "Serves them right."
They were notified when the chartered flights were arranged, but they didn't cherish the opportunity. Who could they blame now?
The situation in Pugu was very bad now.
Who should they send?
The only one who could move freely among the grotesque beings was Lin Fan.
But they had so many cities of their own.
So many grotesque beings appearing.
They were already too busy to cope.
Where would they find the time to rescue them?
Even at the fastest speed, it would take a day and a night to reach there. But in that day and a night, who knew what could happen?
Perhaps another evil spirit would appear.
And during that time,
The destruction of a city was entirely possible.
The Boss rubbed his temples. He knew the situation online. Those people didn't want to come back initially, and now that the situation in Pugu had deteriorated to its worst,
Those guys naturally wanted to return home.
"Damn it."
The usually well-composed Boss couldn't help but curse.
"The reason we can sit here and talk peacefully is because of him. If it weren't for him dealing with those grotesque beings that we can't handle, we wouldn't know how to deal with these things."
The Boss thought for a while and waved his hand.
"Issue an announcement, tell them there's only one chance, and if they miss it, there won't be another. I can't disregard the lives of other people just because of them."
"Yes."
Not long after,
The official response was released.
There was only one chance, and if missed, there would be no more. They were responsible for themselves.
When this report came out,
Those who held out hope were completely despaired.
Netizens commented.
"That's right, there's often only one chance."
"Scared the hell out of me. Luckily, I decisively followed the country's orders and scrambled back."
"This is a bit too heartless, isn't it?"
"Yeah, after all, they are our own people."
"Bullshit, now that it's unsafe outside, they want to come back. Why didn't they come back in the first place?"
When the grotesque beings first appeared, although the Boss reacted quickly, due to the population density, casualties were heavy once a grotesque being appeared.
Compared to other countries, it was indeed much more tragic.
So, for those who stayed abroad, the domestic situation was dangerous, and only there was safe.
In a school building.
Baldy held his phone and followed behind Lin Fan. They had just dealt with a grotesque being in the school.
So awesome.
Truly powerful.
He was completely stunned. He had never seen anyone deal with grotesque beings so easily. Although he had been following Lin Fan recently and had become accustomed to these things,
To be honest,
He was still truly amazed.
Lin Fan carried a wine bottle, gulping it down. With each sip, the wine went down his throat, the taste truly refreshing, invigorating, giving him an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
A group of elementary students excitedly waved at Lin Fan.
Lin Fan handed the wine bottle to Baldy.
He walked over to the elementary students.
"Hi!"
He waved amicably.
"I punched that thing in the school and sent it flying. You can continue going to school now."
Lin Fan patted the little ones' heads, a smile on his face.
They were as cute as Little Bao.
It was just that Little Bao didn't like studying very much. Next time he saw Little Bao, he would tell him about what happened here, let him see the look in these children's eyes, their yearning for school.
"Wow, big brother is so awesome."
"I want to be as awesome as big brother when I grow up."
"Mhm, mhm, mhm…"
The group of elementary students felt that their language skills weren't quite enough.
At this crucial moment,
They didn't even know what to say.
They could only use "mhm, mhm, mhm" to express their thoughts.
Not saying… "me too" wasn't bad either.
Just at this moment,
A reporter appeared.
"Team Leader Lin, hello, I'm a reporter. Are you aware of the recent online incident where a group of compatriots stranded abroad are pleading for help?"
A female reporter asked hurriedly.
Lin Fan said: "No."
For reporters, their sources of information were relatively broad.
They also knew
that the current safety and the absence of devastating incidents were all thanks to this Team Leader Lin.
The female reporter was very respectful and admiring of Lin Fan. She didn't ask tasteless questions like some reporters would do in order to dig up news.
"Team Leader Lin, I have a few questions, may I ask?"
A humble way of asking.
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Sure, you can ask me anything."
He was puzzled.
Why was this girl so nervous?
Even asking questions had to be so cautious.
She seemed very shy.
This had nothing to do with shyness.
There was no helping it.
He still hadn't realized his status in everyone's hearts. If it weren't for him eliminating the terrifying grotesque beings, they would all be doomed.
A hero.
That's right.
In the eyes of all the people, he had long been a heroic figure.
Being nervous was perfectly normal.
Baldy immediately reacted, his expression turning serious: "Team Leader Lin doesn't accept any interviews."
He knew what the reporter wanted to ask.
This was the hottest topic recently.
And also the most controversial.
Lin Fan said: "It's fine, ask away."
Baldy wanted to say something, but since the Team Leader had already spoken, he could only sigh helplessly and stand to the side.
"Team Leader Lin, the situation is like this: When the grotesque beings first appeared, the country chartered flights to bring back people who were abroad. Some chose to return, and some chose not to. But now, with the outbreak of grotesque beings abroad, those who didn't return are hoping the country can bring them back."
"But the most dangerous thing now is that they are all trapped in the cities. To rescue them, we need strong individuals like Team Leader Lin to go there."
"So, will Team Leader Lin go?"
The female reporter asked quickly.
This was also what many reporters around wanted to know.
They were waiting.
Would Team Leader Lin go?
"Since they were given the chance to come back, why didn't they come back in the first place?" Lin Fan asked.
Such a simple question.
He didn't understand.
Everyone was stunned, clearly not expecting Team Leader Lin to answer like this.
The female reporter said: "Some felt it was safer there, and some share the same blood as us but have changed their nationality, so they chose not to return."
"Such a strange question. If they felt it was safe, they should just stay there. Danger is temporary, it will eventually become safe again." Lin Fan said.
The surrounding people…
Team Leader Lin's words were very clear, expressing his dissatisfaction with those people.
"Oh, right, is it far?" Lin Fan asked.
The female reporter said: "Yes, it's far."
Lin Fan said helplessly: "My mission is to protect this land beneath my feet. If I leave, I won't be here for a while. Those things, although weak, are very good at harming others. If I'm not here, more people will die, so I can't leave."
Just at this moment,
Baldy hurriedly said: "Team Leader, an evil spirit grotesque being has appeared in Y City, requiring immediate support."
"Let's go then." Lin Fan said, then turned to the female reporter: "I'm busy now, we can continue this conversation another time."
After saying that, he boarded the plane directly.
"Thank you, safe travels." The female reporter said respectfully.
The surrounding reporters gathered together.
"Don't write anything misleading, everyone."
"That's right, we must report truthfully and not add any embellishments. If we find out who dares to write nonsense, we'll see how we teach them a lesson."
"Don't worry, we definitely won't."
Lin Fan was very busy.
He had to face too many grotesque beings, and as he eliminated more and more of them, the grotesque beings appearing around him were more numerous than he had imagined.
Sometimes, when he slept at night,
He would open his eyes and see a grotesque being sawing at his body with a saw. If it weren't for the itching that kept him awake, he might have been sawed at all night.
Things that hadn't happened before
were suddenly increasing recently.
As the Team Leader of the Yanhuang Group, his words influenced the life and death of those people.
The internet was buzzing.
"Well said."
"They reap what they sow. Who told them not to come back?"
"Team Leader Lin's meaning is clear. If he leaves here and goes abroad, and we encounter terrifying grotesque beings here, by the time he returns, countless people might already be dead."
