MMB Chapter 277 Entering the Nuclear Power Plant
Chapter 277 Entering the Nuclear Power Plant
Lin Fan stared in surprise at the lit radio, completely baffled as to what was going on with the sudden interruption of the voice.
And the sound continued.
"Lin Fan, you've finally arrived."
Lin Fan was annoyed by the sound and reached out to press the call button.
"Hey girl, do we know each other?"
The woman paused for a moment, then continued.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"There are plenty of people waiting for me, who do you think you are?"
However, the woman did not respond to him, but continued to repeat herself tirelessly:
"Go into the nuclear power plant, to the cooling tower."
Lin Fan glanced ahead.
The road surface cracked, and in the distance, intermittent blue-white lights flickered, just like the aurora borealis.
"Aren't you the one who said not to go near the cooling tower?"
"I am."
"You're pretty quick-witted, aren't you? One second you're not coming, the next you're here. Are you giving me a choice?"
A faint static hum came through the radio.
The woman's voice lowered slightly.
"It heard me. It wasn't me just now."
Lin Fan laughed. Was this guy playing a riddle game with him?
"What a coincidence, I also feel that it's not you right now."
As he finished speaking, the radio suddenly cut off.
The noisy electrical hum disappeared, leaving only the engine sound in the car.
Lin Fan glanced at the screen, then stopped contacting Miller and continued driving.
Since entering the nuclear power plant area, more and more strange things have happened, but the road became quiet from then on.
The radio didn't ring again, but Lin Fan cleared it; this silence was highly unusual.
Although the strange radio signal inside the car had disappeared, the situation outside the car was becoming increasingly bizarre.
The closer you get to the Karlovy Varyag nuclear power plant, the more obvious the anomalies become along the roadside.
The broken wire dangled on the ground, occasionally sparks flying from the end.
Several armored vehicles were overturned by the ditch, and there were traces of the vehicle bodies being melted through by the high temperature.
But beneath this dilapidated exterior, there was not a single corpse.
This is extremely unreasonable.
After an unknown amount of time, the outline of the nuclear power plant ahead became clearer, and soon the Hummer arrived at the gate of the nuclear power plant.
The nuclear power plant's doors were half-open at the time.
The armed guard post at the entrance was smashed, and shell casings and gas masks were scattered on the ground.
The radiation alarm at the door was still going off, and the red light was flashing.
Lin Fan's heart stirred, and black scales faintly appeared on the surface of his skin.
Radiation is a death sentence for ordinary people, but for him at this moment, it is an invaluable supplement.
Soon, he drove to an entrance leading to the interior on the east side of the nuclear power plant. Seeing that the entrance door was open, he got out of the car without saying a word and walked towards the entrance.
After walking along the maintenance passage for a while, scratches began to appear on the walls of the passage.
The scratches weren't deep, but they were very numerous.
In some places, dried black slime was still present.
Lin Fan scraped off a bit with his dagger.
The mucus quickly contracted and stuck to the blade.
"It's a living organism?"
Lin Fan was slightly surprised. He subconsciously mobilized the power of calamity within his body. The next moment, the viscous fluid twitched and immediately dried up and died.
Seeing this, Lin Fan put the knife away.
"Afraid of special energy, not afraid of bullets."
While he was pondering, he walked another ten meters or so along the passage, where a fire door appeared at the end of the passage.
There was a knocking sound coming from behind the door.
thump.
thump.
thump.
It's very regular.
Lin Fan stood outside the door, staring at it unmoved.
Soon, a girl's voice came from inside.
Is anyone there?
"Uncle, please save me."
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow slightly, but didn't move his feet.
When the girl saw that he didn't respond, she said again, her voice trembling with tears:
"I'm so cold."
"My mother is missing."
"There's a monster here."
Lin Fan sighed.
I really don't know whether to praise the thing in it for being smart or stupid.
You'd think it was clever, but it still foolishly called out his name.
But you could say it's stupid... it actually knows how to use sympathy to seduce people.
"Seriously, can't you come up with something new? You've been crying since the day you came home, I'm sick of it!"
Upon hearing his words, the crying behind the door stopped.
But a few seconds later, the girl whispered, "Uncle, aren't you going to open the door?"
"Not open."
Why?
"I'm afraid you're a monster."
"I am not."
How can you prove it?
Silence followed behind the door.
Lin Fan took half a step back.
"How about you let me shoot you a couple of times?"
Upon hearing him say this, the girl inside the door became extremely frightened.
"No, no, Uncle, I'm really not a monster! My name is Amy! My dad is an engineer here! I've been hiding here for three days!"
Hey!
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but purse his lips.
Miller had previously explained the layout of the place to him, noting that the maintenance access road on the east side connects to the No. 1 turbine hall.
A little girl was able to hide in a radiation zone for three days and still speak with a strong voice.
Even a fool could tell something was wrong, right?
"Amy, I have a question for you."
"What?"
"What's your father's name?"
"Robert."
"What's your mother's name?"
"Mary."
"What's your homeroom teacher's name?"
"..."
Lin Fan nodded.
"Alright, case solved. The 'American monster' doesn't care about education."
Suddenly, there was silence inside the door.
But the next second, a little girl's face appeared in the observation window on the fire door.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, and gray skin.
She pressed herself against the glass, looking at Lin Fan, a strange smile gradually spreading across her cute little face.
"Uncle, you are very smart."
Lin Fan shrugged, then pulled out a grenade he had previously looted from the thugs from his pocket.
"Thank you for the compliment. I've decided to give you a reward."
The girl stared at the grenade.
"That thing can't kill me."
"I know."
Lin Fan nodded, but still pulled the safety pin and slipped it through the crack in the door.
"But we Chinese don't have the custom of showing up empty-handed."
After saying that, he stepped back.
At the same time, a girl screamed from inside the door.
"Are you crazy! There are still people inside!"
Lin Fan stopped in his tracks.
"Didn't you just say you were alone?"
The girl didn't say anything more.
boom--
The violent explosion caused the fire door to bulge, and black bits of flesh sprayed out from the cracks.
After the dust settled, Lin Fan kicked the door open.
There was no little girl behind the door.
Only a clump of shattered tissue remained stuck to the wall.
The group was wriggling, trying to reassemble.
Soon, half of a girl's face grew out from the middle of that mass of soft tissue.
It stared at Lin Fan, its voice becoming hoarse.
"You deserve to die."
Lin Fan walked over without fear and stepped on it.
"There are plenty of people who want me dead, but we don't seem to know each other, do we?"
Upon hearing him say that, the other half of his face opened its mouth without any attempt to hide it.
"Killing you will awaken the true form."
Lin Fan paused.
"Original body?"
It laughed, its facial tissues twitching incessantly.
"Yes, it is the original body. I possess all of the original body's memories; it remembers you."
"In another place, you destroyed a part of its body."
"Once it swallows you, it will find its way out."
Lin Fan looked down at it.
"That's quite a lot to say."
The girl's face split open, revealing the black fibers inside.
"Lin Fan, your body is very special."
"The body needs you."
Lin Fan's eyes darkened.
Does it know its own talent?
Is it the memory of Shoggoth's memory?
Lin Fan increased the pressure on his feet, and black scales covered his calves.
"I don't know, could you explain it to me in detail?"
However, faced with Lin Fan's blatant threat, the black organization writhed wildly.
"You can't kill me!"
"I will split apart!"
"I will remember every single one of your attacks!"
"I will study!"
"Yeah?"
As Lin Fan spoke, he squatted down, reached out and pressed his hand against the mass of tissue, and the power of calamity instantly poured into his palm.
In an instant, the thing convulsed violently.
Fear appeared on the girl's face for the first time.
"What is this?"
Lin Fan's lips curled up slightly:
You can interpret this as "dealing with those who refuse to submit."
As soon as he finished speaking, he began to increase the output of his calamity power.
In an instant, the black tissue began to char.
It wanted to split apart and escape.
But Lin Fan didn't give it that chance at all.
A few seconds later, only a small piece of blue crystal remained on the ground.
Moreover, this blue crystal was brighter than the one found on the roadside corpse earlier. Lin Fan examined it for a while before putting it directly into his pocket.
"I thought it was something amazing, but it turns out it's nothing special."
After saying that, he stood up and continued walking forward.
An announcement came from the end of the maintenance passage.
This time it wasn't a woman, nor a little girl.
It's Major Miller.
"Mr. Lin Fan, are you there?"
"We have received reports of changes in heat sources near your location."
What happened to you?
Ok? ? ?
Lin Fan was slightly taken aback, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he stepped forward and pressed the intercom.
"I met a child."
Major Miller was taken aback.
"A living person?"
"They're still quite alive; they can even chat after being fried."
Miller remained silent.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"You killed it?"
"For now."
"temporary?"
"Yes, temporarily. It says it will split, it will learn, and it knows about me."
Upon hearing this, Miller on the communicator seemed to recall something terrifying and quickly replied:
"You have to get out of there. It's started targeting you."
Lin Fan looked ahead.
The lights in the passageway ahead lit up one by one.
This is not normal lighting.
Blue and white electric light shone through the cracks in the wall.
At the same time, countless voices rang out on the radio.
little girl.
woman.
the man.
elder.
There was also Lin Fan's own voice.
"Come to the cooling tower."
"To the control room."
"Come to the reactor."
"Come find me."
Seeing this, Lin Fan didn't bother to delay any longer and simply turned off the communicator.
"American horror stories and all that, they're really pointless."
"Fine, I'll see what kind of thing you are."
