Chapter 297 Life is more important than faith
Raccoon City, City Hall.
Lin Jianguo stood in his office on the third floor, looking out the window at the construction site of a building next to the square not far away, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
He never expected that his casual remark would be taken seriously by that old charlatan, Domingo.
Looking at the memorial hall that was gradually taking shape, and those survivors working so hard...
I couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying nature of brainwashing.
"These people..."
Lin Jianguo shook his head, about to say a few words, when there was a knock on the door, and then Night Owl pushed the door open and walked in.
"Mr. Lin, Young Master Lin just contacted us."
"Oh." Lin Jianguo didn't turn around. "What did that brat say this time?"
"Young Master Lin said that after he returns, there will be a meeting to discuss the issue of accelerated global evolution." Night Owl paused for a moment, "He also said... the whole world will change soon."
Lin Jianguo remained silent for a while, but his expression did not change much. He had obviously anticipated these things based on the situation outside.
"change of weather……"
He muttered to himself, "Looks like this kid knows something."
"Mr. Lin, what do you think... the world will become in the future?"
Lin Jianguo turned around and looked at Night Owl: "Do you think the world is chaotic right now?"
"Is it chaotic or not?"
Night Owl paused slightly, then smiled wryly, "Isn't it chaotic enough already?"
"It's chaotic enough, but not completely chaotic yet."
With that, Lin Jianguo walked to the table and sat down.
"Although I don't know where that kid got the information, judging from the current situation, the changes in North America may just be the beginning."
In the future, this world will either completely collapse or be completely reshuffled.
"what?"
Hearing this, Night Owl looked surprised. After a long pause, he couldn't help but ask, "So, which one do you think the future will be?"
Lin Jianguo glanced at him: "The result is already obvious. If it's a complete disaster, that brat would never have said 'let's have a meeting to discuss it.' Knowing his personality, he would only say 'run away.'"
Night Owl thought about it and agreed that it made sense.
"So it's a reshuffling of the deck."
"That's right," Lin Jianguo said. "When shuffling the cards, the person with the most cards wins."
Night Owl understood and immediately said without hesitation, "Then I'll go prepare for the meeting."
"Wait a minute," Lin Jianguo called out to him, "How are things going with Howard's side?"
"They've already been integrated into the defense system. His men are divided into three groups, taking turns participating in perimeter patrols. Howard himself is currently at the military training ground, helping to train new recruits."
"And their attitude?"
"Very cooperative," Night Owl said. "Ever since he saw those two giant beasts, he's been more obedient than anyone else."
Lin Jianguo nodded: "That's only human nature. Once you see the gap, you naturally won't have any extra thoughts."
"What about Campbell?"
"Campbell..."
Upon hearing him mention this person, Night Owl's expression became subtle.
"This guy is even more cunning than Howard. He seems to follow orders on the surface, but I always have a feeling he's up to something."
"Keep an eye on him," Lin Jianguo said. "Nothing much, just keep an eye on him. We'll talk to him when he gets back."
"clear."
Night Owl turned to leave, but was stopped by Lin Jianguo.
"There's one more thing."
"Please speak."
"That memorial hall downstairs..."
Lin Jianguo pointed out the window, "Tell them not to build it too big. Five hundred square meters is enough. Any bigger, and that brat might tear it down when he gets back."
Night Owl's lips twitched. Thinking about it, given Lin Fan's personality, it was indeed possible that he would be worshipped even before he was dead.
"I'll go and talk to them."
He walked out of his office, went down the stairs to the first floor, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw Domingo standing next to the construction site, holding a blueprint in his hand and pointing at several survivors who were working.
Night Owl walked over and glanced at the blueprints.
The building drawn on the blueprints doesn't look like a memorial hall at all.
It looks more like a church.
Domingo.
Domingo turned his head, saw Night Owl, and his expression instantly became incredibly sincere: "What's wrong?"
Although he was a loyal follower of Lin Fan, his status was still much lower than that of Night Owl.
He was very clear about this, so of course he wouldn't treat Night Owl the same way he treated others.
Night Owl ignored his attitude and pointed to the blueprints:
"Can you please shut up? This is a memorial hall!"
"Of course, it's the memorial hall."
Unexpectedly, Domingo, upon hearing his words, replied with a serious expression,
"Look, this is the memorial hall, this is the remembrance area, this is—"
"Then what is this spire?" Night Owl pointed to a structure on the drawing that was clearly a clock tower.
Domingo blinked. "That's... a watchtower. It's for observing the surrounding area."
"Watchtower".
"right."
The owl was speechless with anger at the old man's ridiculous excuse:
"Domingo, are you kidding me?"
Let me tell you, Lin Shao already knows about the memorial hall incident. You know what kind of person he is without me having to explain.
A memorial hall is a memorial hall; it is not a church, not a temple, and not a sanctuary of any true god.
Mr. Lin said you're allowed to build, but the area cannot exceed 500 square meters and the height cannot exceed two stories. You should know what the consequences will be when Young Master Lin returns if you try anything funny.
Domingo's smile froze for a moment.
Then he quickly put on a submissive expression: "Understood, understood, I'll revise the drawings right away."
Night Owl stared at him for two seconds, then, too lazy to say anything more, turned and left.
Domingo watched him leave, and only after the figure disappeared into the building did he look down at the blueprints in his hand.
He sighed and turned the drawing over to the other side.
There is also a picture on the back.
The building in that picture is three times larger than the one in front.
Domingo looked at it, sighed, tore off the picture on the back, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can next to him.
"Never mind," he muttered to himself. "Life is more important than faith."
