Chapter 9: Rescue (3)

Lin Feng waved her hand impatiently, feeling that these people were truly bothersome, wondering where all these issues came from. She felt a bit regretful, thinking that if she had known earlier, she should not have sent Lin Yan to the United States for his studies; it would have been much better for him to stay in the country and be with her. However, if she had not experienced that dreamlike and strange encounter, having died once and then returned to seven months prior, even if Lin Yan were by her side at that time, they would likely have only been two siblings embracing each other in tears, waiting for death.

Lin Feng did not fully understand the construction of such a highly specialized vehicle, nor could she comprehend the dense array of instruments, after all, she was not a professional. However, there was one thing she was very concerned about: "How much gasoline is left?"

How much longer?

That fool, calling out again and again, does he want to attract more monsters over here

Hey, stop the vehicle! No matter who you are, I command you to stop now. Going out is prohibited; didn't you hear the broadcast?

The vehicle was equipped with a radio capable of receiving signals. David hummed a tune as he turned on the switch, and after some adjustments, intermittent sounds began to emerge.

Perhaps due to the announcement urging citizens to return home for safety, the streets were deserted, allowing vehicles to pass through unobstructed. As the escort vehicle drove down the street, residents in the nearby buildings occasionally pulled back their tightly drawn curtains, peering out with fearful and suspicious gazes, trying to discern who was inside the vehicle and why they dared to flaunt themselves outside despite the warnings at such a time. Just as they were about to cross the third district, they encountered trouble; a police car had caught up with them. Why did they dare to flaunt themselves outside despite the warnings at such a time? Just as they were about to cross the third district, they encountered trouble; a police car had caught up with them.

"But didn't you just kill them with a headbutt?" Jessica said in surprise

Jessica answered without thinking, her complexion still looking quite poor, presumably due to her anger over Nancy's situation. Although she still felt that this girl was somewhat spoiled and unable to distinguish between the urgency of matters, she had not cried out earlier but instead had resisted with the gun that Nancy had discarded. Lin Feng suddenly had a change of impression about her. At the very least, she truly loved Lin Yan; only love could make a girl so brave. Lin Feng could see that her hands were still trembling, indicating that she was not without fear.

"Stop shaking, you might just shake him to death even though he's not dead yet." Lin Feng, seeing that he was already coughing, also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's no longer safe here, let's leave quickly"

Lin Feng rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "What was I doing staying in the house for so long? Just endure it, I will talk about it after leaving the city"

"Nonsense, didn't you see they were still wearing clothes? On the way here, we even encountered a guy who could shout for help, but unfortunately, he melted away like ice cream very quickly." David deliberately described the situation in a disgusting manner, puffing out his chest as if to indicate how brave he was, but unfortunately, no one paid him any attention; they were all waiting for Lin Feng to respond.

Lin Feng initially wanted to push Nancy off the bus, but she claimed to be a medical professional, suggesting that having someone knowledgeable in medicine around would be beneficial in such situations. Therefore, she pulled Jessica back and said: "Stop arguing, let's discuss things after we leave here. First, take good care of Ben."

Lin Feng said nothing and directly shot the monster's head, causing it to explode. Lin Yan fell softly to the ground, and Jessica dropped her gun and rushed over, holding him and shaking him in terror: "B-B-Ben, are you okay!"

Jessica possesses many traits common to most American girls, being straightforward. Although she was still somewhat skeptical upon hearing Lin Feng's words, she chose not to say anything further, and her expression softened considerably, no longer filled with hostility as before. The two of them did not engage in much conversation as they hurriedly helped Lin Yan back to the car. Lin Feng assisted in lifting Lin Yan into the trunk. Upon seeing Nancy curled up in the far corner, Jessica was instantly enraged and rushed over, intending to slap her.

Lin Feng thought of the car parked outside the city, which was filled with gas. She had already decided to switch to this vehicle, as it offered a greater degree of safety. She called David to open the trunk, glanced at her watch, and wondered what was taking so long; he had been gone for ten minutes. Even if he had to relieve himself, he should have been done by now. Just as she was about to check on the situation, a gunshot suddenly shattered the surrounding silence, accompanied by a woman's piercing scream.

After speaking, she did not look at Jessica's reaction and climbed out of the rear compartment. Of course, this time she did not give Nancy any weapons. After locking the door, Lin Feng went to the front driver's seat. David still wanted to take credit, but was startled by her expression and stammered, "Captain, which way should we go?"

Not too much, https://m.hetushu.com, but enough for us to spend several hours.

I can only tell you that it is a mutation caused by meteorite radiation, and the duration of the mutation varies from person to person, approximately between 3 to 24 hours. Those who undergo the mutation will lose their rationality and have an extreme craving for blood. They have no weaknesses; neither a blow to the head nor a strike to the heart will kill them. Unless you blow them to smithereens

"Wait a minute, are you saying that those terrifying monsters are also human, not some experimental subjects that escaped from a research facility?" Jessica asked

"I am just too concerned about Ben. I want to save him. Please believe that I will not harm you," Lin Feng said sincerely

Upon hearing this, Jessica huffed in anger, carefully placing Lin Yan's head on her lap, and fixed a hostile gaze on Nancy. Lin Feng reloaded the pistol and handed it to Jessica, speaking in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "If she pulls any tricks, don't hesitate, take her out"

What should we do? David asked

Nancy had already stumbled out, while Jessica helped the unsteady and dazed Lin Yan to his feet, gritting her teeth and cursing: "That bitch! The monster was originally grabbing her, and I went to save her out of goodwill, but she instead pushed me over!"

Upon reaching the restroom door, she kicked it open and rushed inside, only to be met with an unexpected scene. A creature, emerging from who knows where, was hanging halfway out of the ventilation window, gripping Lin Yan's neck tightly. Lin Yan's face had turned pale, and he was on the verge of losing consciousness. It was Jessica who was firing the gun incessantly, and her stance suggested she was not a novice. Unfortunately, her aim was poor; it was a stroke of luck if one out of three shots hit the creature. Lin Feng thought it was a miracle that she hadn't hit Lin Yan. Meanwhile, it was Nancy who was screaming and crying, huddled in a corner with her head in her hands, desperately weeping. If it weren't for the creature blocking the way near the door, she would have likely bolted out long ago.

Lin Yan did not speak, but Jessica asked a question. Seeing everyone staring at her, she hesitated for a moment and then quietly said: "I want to go to the restroom"

Nancy whispered, "Can I go together with you?"

For now, there is nothing more to be done about him. Lin Feng rushed towards the public restroom, hearing the gunshots ringing out one after another. It was unclear whether it was Jessica or Nancy, but the screams and cries had not ceased.

Lin Feng was intently examining the map data in the PDA when he impatiently replied, "I already said that it’s not a biohazard. Do you think it’s the T-virus? There’s no infection, no mutation. If you weren’t exposed to radiation from the start, even kissing them in bed wouldn’t be a problem"

My father is a police officer

Jessica's face flushed bright red: "But I can't hold it in any longer"

Because their mutation has not yet been completed, it is now daytime. Those monsters only fear the ultraviolet rays of sunlight, which is also the only method that can completely destroy them. Ultraviolet rays will suppress their activity, rendering them unable to regenerate. Lin Feng frowned and glanced at the overcast sky that seemed ready to rain at any moment, saying, "Once their mutation is complete, they will no longer appear during the day; the night will be their domain, and in the darkness, they are invincible beings."

Look, I already said this is just a minor issue. What about the escort vehicle? It was still dealt with by me in the same way

"Damn it, it's going to rain! Hurry up!" Lin Feng's face turned pale instantly

Close the car windows if you do not want to be drained of blood and die

David was still puzzled, but Nancy, who had been leaning against the back window, suddenly screamed: "What is that!"

As a woman who also cares for Lin Yan, Lin Feng felt that her previous attitude towards Jessica was problematic. In such times, having a few brave and trustworthy companions by her side is very important. Therefore, for the first time, she took the initiative to extend her hand to Jessica

Approximately over one hundred writhing bodies crawled out from the sewers or hallways, and only these two vehicles on the street were making noise, thus drawing their attention, slowly converging from all directions.

Lin Feng picked up the handgun that had fallen to the ground and helped her get Lin Yan out: "Have you learned shooting?"

The sudden sound of a car starting jolted her from her reverie. Lin Feng scolded herself for being so distracted; this was a dangerous habit that could cost one their life in a place like this. Turning her head, she happened to meet David's beaming face.

The situation has been brought under control, and additional police forces are expected to arrive in the afternoon. Citizens are advised not to leave their homes casually, to secure their doors and windows, and to wait for further instructions. Currently, there has been no conclusion drawn regarding this phenomenon.

"Ignore him, just shake him off." This was Lin Feng's response. As soon as her words fell, a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, and the dark clouds grew even denser. There was hardly any difference between three o'clock in the afternoon and evening.

Nancy's eyes were filled with tears as she pitifully defended herself: "It was just a misunderstanding, I didn't mean to! You know, I am very scared, I am not as brave as you!"

Damn woman, how dare you come over here! You almost got me killed!

The car was far sturdier than Lin Feng had imagined. After prying for quite a while, he finally managed to unlock it. The dashboard inside was densely packed with unknown instruments, and Lin Feng, having no prior knowledge of this, felt somewhat at a loss. At that moment, David finally stepped up, unreservedly taking the driver's seat and beginning to figure out how to start the engine without a key. Lin Feng initially intended to open the trunk at the back of the car to let Lin Yan and the others in, but it seemed to be an electronic lock. He could only lean out and say, "Stay here and don't wander off; we'll be ready soon."

He could only lean out and say, "Stay here and don't wander off; we'll be ready soon."

"Close all the windows behind and lock them tight! No matter what sounds you hear, do not stick your head out to look!" Lin Feng shouted sternly, while she quickly closed all the windows in front. She noticed the police car still following alongside; although the officer was still driving, his expression indicated that he was also frightened. Lin Feng still shouted at him.

An incident occurred! Lin Feng quickly grabbed a fully loaded light machine gun from the large backpack she had been carrying on her back, jumped out of the car, and did not forget to turn back and give David a warning glance. That guy was also quite clever; he immediately understood her meaning and raised his hands innocently, saying: "I'll wait here, I understand"

"There is a public restroom over there. I will accompany Jessica for a moment; it will be quick," Lin Yan stepped out again to mediate. Lin Feng also could not bring himself to suggest that Jessica resolve the issue in public. The restroom was less than twenty meters away, and the surroundings were quite quiet, so there should not be any problems. Reluctantly, he nodded.

"As you command." David clearly had not yet realized the seriousness of the situation, treating it as an exciting game, and eagerly started the car. Lin Feng shook her head; she had seen such people before, thinking it was just a minor episode in daily life that would soon improve and be brought under control. She was curious to know if David could still laugh so easily when the whole world was filled with such monsters.

"Saying it is the same as not saying it at all," David muttered in complaint

That is good

A police officer with golden hair and blue eyes shouted at Lin Feng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, through the car window

Lin Yan was reminded to pay close attention to the surroundings, while Lin Feng and David began their nefarious act of stealing a car. Jessica and Nancy watched in shock as they brazenly pried open the lock of an armored vehicle in broad daylight; such illegal behavior was not something an ordinary American citizen would engage in. In the past, they would have certainly called the police. However, at this moment, the silence was deafening, the street was deserted, and the distant sounds of gunfire and sirens made one feel as if their heart was heavy and they could hardly breathe. From the very beginning, Nancy was terrified of Lin Feng, standing far away, nervously gripping her gun, mumbling to herself about something unknown. The silence was oppressive, the street empty, and the distant sounds of gunfire and sirens weighed heavily on the heart. Nancy had been afraid of Lin Feng from the start, standing at a distance, nervously clutching her gun, mumbling to herself. Jessica complained a few times but fell silent, likely sensing the oppressive atmosphere, remaining vigilant and scanning the surroundings, tightly gripping Lin Yan's arm and unwilling to let go.

The car was enveloped in silence, as if everyone had simultaneously lost the desire to speak; even David closed his mouth and obediently pressed down on the accelerator.

Lin Feng was too tired to argue about this guy insisting he was a government envoy. He took out the PDA, glanced at it, and chose a relatively nearby route: "Leave the city via the highway from the Third District."

Be careful

At this moment, Lin Yan finally calmed down. Without having the time to respond to Jessica, he awkwardly stretched his head out through the small iron window that separated the front cabin from the rear compartment: "Sister, I was scratched by that monster. Will it..."

Jessica did not expect Lin Feng to become so polite, and was taken aback for a moment, revealing a smile at the corner of her mouth: "Uh, no, it's nothing, I just, well, actually my attitude isn't that great either"

Thank you, Jessica, I apologize for my previous rudeness
