Chapter 371 Taking You to Level Up
"Half a month?"
After hearing Lin Fan's prediction, Li Xiulan stood up abruptly.
"So...do we really have to give up here?"
"Give up? No."
Lin Fan answered very decisively.
It's important to know that Raccoon City has put in a lot of hard work to get to where it is today.
Do you want him to give up?
That's absolutely impossible.
Li Xiulan was taken aback: "Not give up? Xiao Fan, what are you planning to do?"
"Mom, this base was built with great difficulty."
Now, tens of thousands of people have finally settled down, and all our food and supplies are here.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jianguo and his wife both fell silent.
Although Lin Fan was right, but...
"and……"
Just as the two hesitated, Lin Fan spoke again.
"Don't forget, I just said that I have a way to deal with those dark creatures, but we just haven't found a way to stop the spread of darkness yet."
"So what do you plan to do?" Lin Jianguo asked, looking at him after hearing this.
Lin Fan thought for a moment and then answered without hiding anything:
"I plan to go in again."
"What?"
Upon hearing that he wanted to go back in, Li Xiulan's voice suddenly rose eight octaves.
"You just came out, and you're going back in?"
"Yes, this time it's to rescue Domingo and the others; it's inconvenient to bring a bunch of burdens along."
Lin Fan nodded and continued.
"But I don't have as many concerns if I go in alone, and I have a plan in place so I'll be fine."
"No!"
Li Xiulan rejected it outright.
"It's not a question of whether something will happen or not. The problem is that nobody knows what's going on inside. Even if you're not afraid of death, who can guarantee that you won't be affected if something happens to you inside?"
No, this is far too dangerous!
"mom……"
"Your mother is right."
Lin Jianguo and his wife formed a united front this time.
"If you go into a place like that alone and something happens, it will be too late to regret it."
If you want to go in, I'll go with you...
"dad."
Lin Fan interrupted him, his tone calm but firm.
"Don't worry, I would never do anything I'm not sure I can do."
And you also need to stay here at the base, since the outside world isn't that safe right now.
In the entire Raccoon City, besides my son and me, there's absolutely no one I can trust to look after the house. If we both leave...
You're not really planning to make my mom go back to her old ways, are you?
Hearing Lin Fan's analysis, Lin Jianguo fell silent.
Just as Lin Fan said, right now, the strongest family in the entire Raccoon City is their family of three.
If he goes into the Black Forest with Lin Fan, then his wife will be all alone outside. Does he really have to let his wife take the lead again?
No.
For his wife's sake, he had no choice but to give up the child.
Anyway, it's fine if this kid dies in the outside world, and as for inside... it should be fine too, right?
Just as Lin Jianguo was mentally preparing himself, Lin Fan spoke again:
"Besides, I have an undead army, so those shadowy figures pose no fatal threat to me. If things get really bad, I can always retreat."
Li Xiulan, who had originally wanted to say something, hesitated for a moment and swallowed back the words she was about to say when she saw Lin Fan's resolute expression.
She knows her son too well.
The kid's expression shows that he's determined to go in.
Even if I try to stop him, this kid will still sneak in. So, it's better to...
"...When are you going?"
"Rest tonight, we'll set off tomorrow."
"Alright, get some rest tonight, and take plenty of equipment with you when you leave."
"Okay, Mom."
Lin Jianguo stood up, walked up to Lin Fan, and patted him on the shoulder. He didn't say anything.
But Lin Fan could feel the weight of that shot.
……
That evening.
Lin Fan lay on the bed with his eyes closed.
But he didn't sleep.
Instead, he immersed his consciousness in the spiritual space and established a connection with the Great Crow.
Then, through the spiritual world of the Great Crow, they found King Nabataean and his undead army.
just,
Before he could explain his purpose, he noticed a change in King Nabataean himself.
Even through the mental connection, he could clearly sense that King Nabataeus's aura was much stronger than before.
Could this be the effect of absorbing those remaining black energies?
Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn't help but speculate...
……
The night passed in a daze, and the next morning arrived.
Lin Fan got up as soon as it was light.
He packed a small backpack and went out.
Unexpectedly, my mother was already waiting at the door.
He was also holding a bowl of hot porridge in his hand.
"Drink before you leave."
"mom……"
"drink."
Lin Fan took the bowl and finished the drink in a few gulps.
Li Xiulan took the empty bowl, her lips moved, and in the end she only said, "Come back soon."
"rest assured."
After saying that, Lin Fan turned and walked towards the gate...
……
Soon, he drove to the edge of the Dark Forest again.
He did not rush in, but closed his eyes and communicated with King Nabataean through his mind.
"King Nabataean".
In the mental space, King Nabataeus's response was almost instantaneous.
"My King."
Soon, King Nabataean appeared before him. Looking at his opponent, who was even stronger than yesterday, Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh:
"You've gotten stronger again?"
"Yes, my king."
King Nabataean's voice even carried a hint of excitement.
"My king, after the battle of Tianna, I and my soldiers have all gained some insights."
The residual power of those dark creatures after they dissipated was absorbed into my body. After a night of digestion... my power was significantly enhanced.
Lin Fan raised an eyebrow curiously: "How much has it improved?"
"Difficult to quantify."
But I can confirm... this is the first time in my centuries of silence that I have felt such a significant growth.
The first time in thousands of years?
Lin Fan was taken aback upon hearing this answer.
"Not just your subject."
Then King Nabataean continued,
"Those soldiers who survived also grew stronger. Their soul fire became more solid, and their power increased."
"In other words..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan stroked his chin and said,
"By killing those shadowy figures, you can absorb their power and become stronger?"
"That's exactly right."
Having received a definite answer, Lin Fan subconsciously looked towards the edge of that dark expanse.
Gradually, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
At this moment, what might be seen as disaster and death by others is, in his eyes,...
A rare and valuable experience instance.
Although this experience dungeon cannot improve his strength in any way, it is an experience dungeon that allows his undead army to level up.
"King Nabataean".
"Your subject is here."
"If your sleeping soldiers had sufficient energy, could they recover even faster?"
"If there were a sufficient supply of dark power..."
King Nabataean seemed to understand Lin Fan's meaning.
"I think they might be able to shorten the recovery time to within a few days."
"How many days?"
"Yes, it could even be shorter."
Lin Fan took a deep breath upon hearing this.
Good guy.
Killing the shadows makes you stronger, and the stronger you become, the more shadows you can kill, and the more shadows you kill, the stronger you become.
Isn't this just... endlessly grinding for levels?
"Walk."
Thinking of this, Lin Fan's heavy mood instantly vanished, and he unhesitatingly lifted his foot towards the Black Forest.
"Let's level up today."
