Chapter Seventy-Three Claire

  Chapter Seventy-Three

  Occasionally a gentle breeze blows from the southwest direction. The sweltering heat of the city in the morning has turned somewhat chilly by nightfall.

  Whether it's due to the T virus or not, these lawns that should have withered in winter are ending their lives prematurely.

  A gentle breeze stirred the slightly yellowed leaves and scattered the flickering flames, revealing a hint of difference amidst the dense foliage.

  Although the whole tree's branches and leaves were swaying slightly, Lin Chen relied on his extraordinary eyesight to keenly detect a hint of something unusual!

  The rich imagination brought by the twenty-point spiritual power allowed Lin Chen to quickly outline a rough draft in his mind.

  It's a vague human figure!

  Lin Chen turned around, looked around, and confirmed that no zombies had noticed this place. Then he quietly moved to the bottom of a large tree.

  The withered grass brought a sense of unparalleled softness to Lin Chen, like a light and gentle cloud, which was completely incomparable to the hard as iron land of the abyss!

  Lin Chen raised his head to look up, and in the sky, a dazzling silver light suddenly flashed by, making the entire land that had fallen into deep darkness transparent, more dazzling than the sun, and Lin Chen's line of sight was filled with a dizzying array of bright spots.

  A sharp pain shot through both of Lin Chen's eyes, and he felt as if his retinas had been scorched away, unable to see anything!

  "Rumble!"

  Close on the heels of that was a deafening thunderclap, almost piercing one's eardrums, and massive sound waves that shook the air with ripples, making Lin Chen feel a tangible impact!

  "Ah!"

  Extremely high spirit, brought to Lin Chen a sharp five senses, even his ears were still immersed in the reverberation of the explosion, even his eyes could not see anything temporarily! However, Lin Chen still felt that there was a gust of evil wind coming from behind him!

  Attack is from top to bottom!

  Lin Chen's reaction was swift, and as soon as he sensed the attack, his body instantly dodged to the side, moving as quickly as a rabbit!

  The soft grass underfoot was trampled by Lin Xuan's powerful legs and suddenly rolled up, lifting a large piece of turf!

  Through the massive counterforce transmitted from the ground, Lin Chen's body shot forward several meters, almost directly colliding with the thick tree trunk!

  "Wait."

  Lin Chen lowered his voice and shouted in the direction of the previous attack: "I am human!"

  At this time, the light is dim, the flames are flickering, and it's hard to distinguish between humans and zombies. The only way to prove one's identity is by speaking.

  Lin Xun's line of sight was a blur of white, and in the instant he proved his identity, he suddenly felt a chill on his face, and a swift and urgent gust of air blew up his hair.

  Lin Xun let out a slight sigh of relief. If he had been any busier just now, the attack would probably have landed on him!

  As an assassin, he was actually ambushed by others three times in a row. Lin Chen couldn't help but smile wryly, feeling that he had somewhat disgraced this profession.

  In fact, Lin Chen's reaction was timely before, but the response was undoubtedly extremely unqualified. Directly rushing forward is the most stupid evasive action, and even a simple roll on the ground is ten times better than this!

  However, who let Lin Chen be a mixed-eater and a dead house boy before? He basically can't have this combat quality. In the absence of relevant training, he can still react, which is already extremely difficult.

  (I wonder if there's any relevant training in the depths...)

  "Are you really human?"

  Lin Xun thought to himself, and across from him, a slightly tired female voice came over.

  "Of course, surely those things can still talk?"

  Lin Xuan forced a bitter smile, rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and felt slightly better. His dizzy vision was slowly recovering.

  "Let's go, it's not safe here."

  Lin Xue felt that the woman opposite him seemed to wave her hand and turned around to leave.

  "Hey, wait."

  "What's wrong? We have to hurry, or we won't be able to get away once those things surround us."

  Her voice was slightly urgent, but the woman still stopped.

  "I... I can't see for now..."

  Lin Xue estimated that by the time her vision recovered, which would be in a few minutes, this agile woman would have long disappeared.

  So Lin Chen directly gave up pretending to be strong and spoke out his difficulties.

  "You have night blindness and still run around like crazy?"

  Although she said so, she still walked over, grabbed Lin Chen's wrist and whispered: "Follow me."

  "No, on the contrary, it's precisely because I can see too clearly at night that I was dazzled by the lightning just now."

  Lin Xuan speaks the truth.

  "Hmm..."

  The woman just smiled and didn't say anything.

  Lin Xue also smiled and carefully followed her footsteps, no longer making any explanations.

  Darkness not only hinders humans but also reduces zombies' perception to its lowest!

  Zombies search for prey, mainly relying on vision, hearing and smell. Among them, they mainly rely on visual and auditory senses!

  Under Lin and Dust's lowered voices, the zombies ten meters away couldn't detect them at all!

  "My name is Lin Chen, what's yours?"

  Lin Xun did not feel any T-virus infected bodies nearby and asked in a low voice.

  "Claire."

  "Clare?!"

  Lin Chen's tone became slightly heavier, and information about Resident Evil flashed through his mind.

  If this woman in front of me is Claire from the movie, then she can also be considered one of the main characters in the Resident Evil series, whether it's anime or live-action movies.

  "What?"

  Lin Xuan felt Clay turn his head back, and a puzzled gaze fell on himself.

  "Nothing..."

  Lin Xun's eyesight has started to gradually recover, and he can see a blurry outline in the dark, similar to that of an ordinary person.

  "Where are you going?"

  Claire seemed very familiar with this area, turning left and right without thinking, Lin Chen couldn't help but ask.

  "Leave the city."

  Klay turned his head back, unsure if he was looking at Lin Chen or observing the movements of the zombies.

  Can't get out of the city.

  "What?"

  Claire stopped in her tracks and looked at Lin Chen with a hint of puzzlement.

  "Don't you know?"

  Lin Xun withdrew his hand without leaving a trace and said, "You don't know?"

  Although there were still some light spots in sight, they no longer affected movement. Being pulled by someone was somewhat unaccustomed after all.

  "The Umbrella Corporation can no longer contain this disaster, as we may have a risk of infection and cannot leave the city. Just ten minutes ago, they indiscriminately opened fire on civilians, I just retreated from there."

  Lin Xuan's voice was extremely calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

  "These bastards! Damn it!"

  Claire's first reaction was not disbelief, but a low, muttered curse at the Protective Umbrella Corporation, her voice trembling with suppressed rage.

  "What should I do?"

  Panic and fear, yelling loudly, none of these could change the current situation. Claire looked at Lin Chen with a calm gaze, her eyes locked tightly onto Lin Chen's pitch-black pupils like a dark night.

  "For the time being, I don't know."

  Lin Xuan's voice was as calm and flat as ever, unable to discern any emotions in his heart.

  "You..."

  Claire had just uttered a syllable when she was stopped by Lin Chen's raised hand.

  At this moment, Lin Chen's expression was instantly frozen, under the shroud of night, as if an icy sculpture, making Claire swallow the words she wanted to say next.

  "Go!"

  Lin Xun's figure paused for a moment before suddenly accelerating again, leaving Claire feeling somewhat caught off guard and standing still in place for several seconds before reacting.

  "What's wrong?"

  Claire caught up with Lin Chen's footsteps, her long light golden hair fluttering behind her, and asked in puzzlement.

  "Maybe we have a way out."

  Lin Xun turned his head to look at Claire, whose eyes were filled with a hint of fatigue, and involuntarily slowed down his speed to a level that an ordinary person could withstand.

  Just now, a sudden response of the virus in Lin Chen's body, a general viral symbiote with him, appeared in Raccoon City!

  By intuition, Lin Chen can be certain that this symbiote is Alice!

  Will the wheels of history inevitably keep rolling forward?
