Vol 23 Chapter 7-1: Gather, Raccoon City!(I) (2/2)
At the same time, at the other end of America where team Celestial was...
“Four teams of the Angel Alliance have contacted us already. Team Northern Ice Land’s communicator is already destroyed, so they were probably eliminated. The remaining three are waiting near Raccoon City for us.” Lina said to Adam.
Adam nodded. “Alright… good job. Use psyche force to contact the team closest to us. Tell them to take note of the zombies and Lickers, and to preserve their fighting strength. They're not to have deaths before the battle with team China.”
Lina nodded. She suddenly hesitated, taking a while before she asked, “Adam, what was Yinglong talking about? Why can’t he tell me? What does ‘rules’ and ‘It’s not that I don’t want to say. It’s that I can’t’ mean?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to say. It’s that I can’t…” Adam smiled gently, saying to Lina, “I’ll reply to you the same way. It’s not that I don’t want to say. It’s that I can’t!”
The blonde beauty looked doubtfully at Adam. That man remained gently smiling as always. She could only helplessly look at the nearby Song Tian. “Song Tian, do you know what Yinglong meant? Why would he curse at you like that? How about you tell me?”
“...It’s not that I don’t want to say. It’s that I can’t.” Song Tian finally closed his eyes as he said after a long pause.
“‘It’s not that I don’t want to say. It’s that I can’t’?... Ah I get it.” Lina was suddenly joyously surprised as she asked, “Did you discover some message from the Saints and Magicians? The message had a rule that only those who saw it can know, and you can’t tell others? Is that how it is?”
Song Tian’s eyes remained closed as he kept his silence, while Adam looked at him with his gentle smile, also not saying anything else. It was instead the four newbies that tried to get a word in as they all started to talk, with the two white men being especially attentive towards Lina, as if she was supposed to choose between the two now that Luo Yinglong was gone.
Adam ignored the rest, instead using his finger to tap his forehead as he considered the problems in his mind.
(There’s basically nothing to be worried about anymore. It seems clone Xuan is already aware of my plan. How much does he know? If he knew everything, he would definitely personally come and stop me, or gotten someone to attack me. But he hasn't. He instead allied with me to take down team China together. What does this mean?)
“Chu Xuan. Whether the clone or the original, they’re a true first generation. Surpassing a mortal’s wisdom?” Adam muttered to himself. He looked at those around him, especially Song Tian who quietly sat there. The gentle smile on his face grew even more pronounced.
“Chu Xuan. Both your original and clone no longer have a chance to stop my plan. It can’t be stopped once it gets going, unless you kill me and all those executing the plan… But is that possible?”
“Let's go. The destination is Raccoon City. We'll deal with team China first!”
At this time, the entire world had seven or eight teams urgently or slowly making their way to Raccoon City. Of course, this was only the first step to not being wiped in Resident Evil Extinction. Weaker teams like team Northern Ice Land wouldn't even be able to find the city’s location, let alone finding the clue to the Seventh Underground Laboratory. For the teams that were qualified to enter Raccoon City, the true battle… had only just begun.
(My plan… The sole way to exterminate team China and team Devil. Luo Yinglong, how will you express your thoughts for you who are unable to say the truth? I look forward to it. A final battle that’s too simple isn't interesting. Isn’t that so, the two Xuans that I’ve determined as my fated enemy…)
Adam smiled gently at those around him, that gentle smile omnipresent as always...
