Chapter 107 Take Me to the Morgan Family
On the outskirts of Raccoon City, an abandoned underground drainage hub.
The area hasn't been affected by fungal spores yet, and the air is filled with the stench of sewage, but for the two who have just escaped death, it's a rare "fresh" air.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"How can those damned things be so powerful?"
Titan, a burly black man, punched the concrete wall, creating a large crater in the half-meter-thick wall.
He was covered in blood, his right arm twisted unnaturally, broken off by a tyrant when he was trying to escape.
Can anyone think of,
A huge monster was actually on par with him, a power-type S-class Awakener, in terms of strength.
Do you believe it?
"Stop going crazy."
The woman in red leaned against the wall, her face as pale as paper.
She pulled an encrypted satellite phone from her pocket and dialed a number with trembling fingers.
beep - beep -
The call was connected.
"Is the mission complete?"
A deep, hoarse voice, tinged with the arrogance of someone in a superior position, came through the receiver.
The woman in red took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound steady:
"Boss, the mission has failed."
"fail?"
Upon hearing her report, the voice on the other end of the phone instantly rose in volume.
Even through satellite signals, you could feel the overwhelming anger.
Fuck!
You two S-class Awakened Ones can't even catch two defenseless female anchors?
The Morgan family spends hundreds of millions of dollars every year to support you—are you raising pigs?!
"Boss, let me explain!"
The woman in red quickly interrupted the other person's roar.
"The situation in Raccoon City is completely out of control!"
"There are fungal infections everywhere, and, moreover, those monsters don't even attack those two women..."
I thought this explanation would help the boss understand the difficulty of the task.
After all, who would have thought that zombies would be picky eaters?
however.
There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.
Three seconds later.
"What did you say?"
The voice was no longer angry; instead, it carried a chilling fanaticism.
"You're saying... those fungal monsters don't attack them?"
"Yes, yes." The woman in red was taken aback.
"Fantastic...the perfect test subject!"
The voice was almost manic.
"Listen! No matter what method you use, even if you die inside, bring those two women back to me!"
Cells that cannot be attacked… This is a gift from God to the Morgan family! Once we possess this, we can control this power!
"But Boss, our current situation..."
"I don't want to hear any nonsense!"
The other party interrupted directly.
"Either bring them back, or you all die out there. The Morgan family doesn't keep useless people."
If you can't bring them back, your family...
Hehe, I think you understand what I mean.
beep.
The phone hangs up.
The woman in red gripped her phone tightly, unable to speak for a moment.
"FUCK!"
Titan, who had been listening nearby, roared and kicked away the rubble on the ground.
"These vampires! They want us to go back now? There are at least hundreds of thousands of mutants inside! They're sending us to our deaths!"
The woman in red slid weakly to the ground, looking dejected.
Going back means death.
If we don't go back, our whole family will die.
Her only family member whom she cared about deeply was her mother in the nursing home.
This is what happens when you're a lackey of a chaebol.
"Let's go."
The woman in red gave a bitter laugh, then leaned against the wall and stood up.
"Let's fight our way back before it gets completely dark. Perhaps... there's still a glimmer of hope."
The two looked at each other and saw the despair in each other's eyes.
However, just as the two were packing their gear and preparing to return to Raccoon City...
Da, da, da.
An untimely sound of high heels suddenly rang out at the empty drainage channel entrance.
The sound was particularly jarring at the edge of the zombie-infested lockdown zone, and it made the two of them tense.
"Who?!"
Titan whirled around, his remaining left hand instantly petrifying into a gigantic rock claw, staring intently at the entrance.
The woman in red instantly entered battle mode, her psychic power surging, causing the surrounding rubble to float up and transform into deadly bullets.
Under the extremely tense gaze of the two.
An Asian woman wearing a beige trench coat strolled in leisurely.
She looked to be around forty years old. Although we are both women, it is undeniable that she was very well-maintained.
Although there are some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, they only add to her mature charm.
That outfit, that aura.
It is out of place with its surroundings.
"Ugh, this place smells awful."
"I really don't understand why you foreigners are so willing to hide in the sewers?"
Li Xiulan raised her hand and gently fanned her nose, her brows slightly furrowed.
"And the city construction in this United States is still so lax, they can't even fix the sewers properly."
The woman in red and the Titan were both stunned.
Who is this woman?
"stop!"
Titan roared, taking a menacing step forward, his massive rock claws radiating oppressive power. "Who are you? How did you get in?!"
Li Xiulan stopped and glanced at the two of them.
Finally, my gaze settled on the woman in red.
"Two S-class individuals, acting like dogs for others."
"It was you who tried to kidnap my two... well, you could say they were prospective daughters-in-law?"
Daughter-in-law?
The woman in red's pupils contracted.
She immediately realized that the woman in front of her had come for the two female anchors!
"You're an accomplice of that black-scaled monster?!"
The woman in red was startled, but her mental power erupted instantly. Dozens of pebbles, accompanied by the sound of air being torn apart, hurled towards Li Xiulan like Gatling gun fire.
"Whoever you are, daring to come here to die, then die!!"
Since they are enemies, it's best to strike first!
however.
Faced with this rain of psychic stones powerful enough to pierce steel plates, Li Xiulan didn't even lift her eyelids.
She simply raised her right hand slightly, her index finger tracing a casual line in the air.
Sizzle—!
A very faint sound, like the tearing of cloth, rang out.
next second.
The rubble that came hurtling towards her suddenly shattered a meter away from Li Xiulan.
It wasn't shattered.
Instead, it turned into dust out of thin air.
"Young man, don't get so hot-tempered."
Li Xiulan lowered her hand, her face still bearing a kind smile.
"I'm a reasonable person. You're just doing this for money, so I don't blame you."
"Take me to the Morgan family, and I'll let you go, how about it?"
Both of them were startled when the other party revealed their identities in one sentence.
"To the Morgan family?"
Titan let out another sinister laugh.
"Old woman, you've got quite the nerve! Want to join the Morgan family? Go ask for directions in hell!"
As an S-rank Awakened being specializing in physical enhancement, he detested people who pretended to be mysterious.
boom!
The ground beneath Titan's feet shattered, and he charged toward Li Xiulan with unparalleled kinetic energy, like a heavy tank.
The petrified giant claws were raised high, and with a whistling sound as they tore through the air, they slammed down!
This blow could crush not only a person, but even an armored vehicle into a pancake!
