MMB Chapter 209 The boss absolutely has to give him a beating.
Chapter 209 The boss absolutely has to give him a beating.
That tourist from Japan, who felt the same way, probably never dreamed that the video he had just uploaded would become a trending topic on major social media platforms around the world in less than five minutes.
Of course, the reason it went viral wasn't because the content was particularly exciting.
It's not because it's outrageous, but because it's too ridiculous.
With all sorts of natural disasters happening at once, even Hollywood blockbusters wouldn't dare to film something like this!
Moreover, the comment section was even more explosive than the video itself.
"What kind of movie special effects are these? Which production team is this?"
"Special effects my ass! Look at the trajectory of that tornado, CG can't create that kind of randomness."
"Wait, wait, isn't this the Vatican City???"
"The Vatican? I've heard there's a global rebellion against the Holy See. Who has the Vatican offended?"
"Do you think... is it possible... that this is what they call divine punishment?"
"I'm a meteorology major, and if I may say this, the probability of a blizzard, torrential rain, tornado, hail, and sandstorm occurring simultaneously in the same area is, from a meteorological perspective, zero. Zero."
"Does the person upstairs mean... a supernatural phenomenon?"
"I didn't say anything, but I've already started revising my graduation thesis."
The media also reacted swiftly.
Italian local radio stations were the first to intervene, and when reporters arrived at the scene, they were nearly hit by hail.
In the live broadcast, the sky in the direction of the Vatican was completely covered by thick leaden clouds, and various disasters formed a strange "vortex of natural disasters" in the sky above that area.
What's even more unsettling is that the area affected by the disaster is slowly expanding.
Meanwhile, the video was quickly circulated to the desks of high-ranking officials in various countries.
……
The United States, the White House.
Strong looked at the real-time satellite images on the big screen, and his expression was priceless.
Infrared satellite images show a chaotic thermal distribution in the Vatican region, with hot and cold air masses violently converging within a very small area, resulting in at least five different types of meteorological hazards.
"Is this a weather weapon?" Strong asked the Department of Defense advisor.
"No, sir."
Defense Department advisor shook his head.
"Our weather weapons can't achieve this level of precision, nor can they achieve this level of...chaos."
This phenomenon of multiple disasters occurring simultaneously does not exist in nature, nor can it be replicated in man-made weapons.
"Then what is this?"
The consultant paused for a few seconds: "Unknown phenomenon."
Strong leaned back in his chair, feeling increasingly exhausted over this period of time.
"Lin Jianguo and his group left, and this situation happened right afterward..."
He narrowed his eyes and turned to his secretary. "Any movement from China?"
"Lin Jianguo has returned to Raccoon City; our people have confirmed it."
"Who's in the Vatican now?"
"According to intelligence... Lin Jianguo's son, Lin Fan, may still be over there."
Strong was startled by what he heard.
"He stayed there?"
"Yes, sir. Although the intelligence isn't 100% confirmed, judging from the current situation, what could have caused so many disasters..."
"I'm afraid it can only be him!"
The meeting room fell silent.
"Accelerate the Awakener Project."
After a long pause, Strong stood up. "At all costs."
……
Meanwhile, in Raccoon City.
Lin Jianguo, who had obediently returned to the temporary Umbrella base with his wife, also saw this video online.
Looking at the ruins in the video, mostly covered by blizzard, the buildings smashed by hail, and the slowly moving, raging tornado in the distance...
Lin Jianguo was completely stunned and remained silent.
Li Xiulan stood silently behind him, her eyes also fixed on the screen.
After a long while, Lin Jianguo finally spoke slowly.
"Thank goodness I didn't stay there. That bastard... just how many times did he die?"
It is common knowledge that Lin Fan can only trigger a natural disaster if he dies.
Nowadays, disasters occur frequently, and there is only one reason for that.
It means that Lin Fan is constantly dying.
The thought of his son dying repeatedly over there made him clench his fists involuntarily.
"He is fusing the primordial crystal."
On the contrary, Li Xiulan, who was standing behind him, spoke calmly, but her slightly trembling arms betrayed her inner turmoil.
How can you be so sure?
"Because only the process of fusing the power of origin can cause this level of physical collapse."
Li Xiulan paused for a moment.
"Normally, integration requires a long process, or rather, a natural fit."
"And your son... is merging in the dumbest way possible."
"Hiss—has this little brat gone mad? He's so afraid of pain..."
Upon hearing his wife's words, Lin Jianguo couldn't help but gasp.
I never expected that my son, who has always been most afraid of pain, would choose such a manly way!
No wonder he's Lin Jianguo's son!
Li Xiulan did not answer.
Levi's and Night Owl, standing nearby, didn't dare to breathe, keeping their eyes down and their minds focused.
The aura emanating from the couple at that moment made his scalp tingle. If it weren't for their status, he would have liked to stay far away.
About ten seconds later, Li Xiulan finally spoke.
"He can regenerate infinitely; he won't die."
"I know."
Lin Jianguo spoke his mind, "I want to know... whether he can withstand that kind of pain."
Upon hearing this, Li Xiulan finally fell silent.
She knew that feeling better than anyone else.
The pain during the fusion of primal forces is not physical.
It's a kind of torment of being dismantled and reassembled from the very foundation of existence.
She went through it once, and she still doesn't want to recall it.
Moreover, she fused with her talent back then, which was the least painful type. Even so, it almost killed her during that fusion.
Lin Fan's infinite reorganization retains 100% of the pain, making it impossible to block.
In other words...
His own son had to bear that pain completely.
Judging from the number of disasters that have struck the Vatican, it has suffered at least a dozen.
The room remained quiet for a long time.
In the end, it was Li Xiulan who broke the silence first.
"According to news footage, the disaster is subsiding."
Lin Jianguo turned to look at the screen.
Indeed, the blizzard over the Vatican has begun to subside, and the tornadoes are moving at a slower pace.
"The weakening of the disaster indicates that no new calamity energy is being released," Li Xiulan analyzed. "This may mean that he is no longer dead."
"It's possible the fusion was successful..."
"Or perhaps things have stabilized for the time being."
Hearing this, Lin Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, his phone rang.
Caller ID shows… Zheng Guodong.
Lin Jianguo answered the call.
"Old Lin, did you see what happened at the Vatican?" Zheng Guodong's voice was urgent.
"I saw it."
"Did your son do that?"
"...most likely."
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, but the caller didn't elaborate. Instead, they brought up another matter.
"The United States has already convened an emergency security meeting, and several European countries are also putting pressure on us through diplomatic channels, demanding an explanation of what exactly happened in the Vatican."
"Explain? Explain what? Why should we explain to them?" Lin Jianguo said, sticking out his neck.
"We don't need to explain anything, but the key point is..."
Zheng Guodong said helplessly.
"Videos from the Vatican are now circulating all over the world, and people are starting to connect this incident with the attacks on churches around the world."
Your previous appearance at the Vatican has been exploited by certain individuals, and public opinion is now veering towards the conclusion that 'China possesses supernatural weapons of mass destruction.'
Lin Jianguo closed his eyes briefly.
Good guy.
So all of this was caused by my son and me?
"Then what do you want me to do?" Lin Jianguo's tone was somewhat displeased.
"Don't panic, the higher-ups are discussing countermeasures. But I need you to confirm one thing... Is your son still alive?"
Lin Jianguo glanced at the disaster images on the screen, which were gradually diminishing.
"Nonsense, my son is naturally alive." He said with certainty.
"That's good."
Hearing this, Zheng Guodong breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's one more thing... The higher-ups want to know how your son managed to cause so many disasters at once?"
"How did they do it? By risking their lives, of course!"
Lin Jianguo replied curtly, then hung up the phone and looked at the screen again.
In the footage, the blizzard in the Vatican has almost stopped, but the entire area is still covered by a thick layer of snow.
Where a tornado passes, it leaves a clear trail of destruction.
The Vatican, which had already been largely destroyed by them, has now been ravaged by another natural disaster, turning it into a white wasteland.
This scene was witnessed by netizens all over the world.
"You brat..."
Lin Jianguo said in a low voice.
"I'm definitely going to give him a good beating later."
