245. Life

When Clarence and Constantine came to Shanghai and came to the villa where Zuo Lin had lived during the time he was healing, they were surprised to find that the outermost guard of the villa had been taken over by the four dream demons. The Dream Demon, who was co-opted by Zuo Lin, seems to be more accepting of the status quo than expected.

As the two of them were led by one of Geofitz's students, they walked through the long corridor to the edge of a field of experimental flowers that the left was a favorite place for these rìzi. The atmosphere in the villa is relaxed and cheerful, and there is no trace of the panic that is now prevalent in the world. Druid apprentices wearing bronze oak coats of arms, Dream Demons embroidered with "FFZZ" letters on the cuffs of various styles of clothes, employees of Zuo Lin's company with badges...... All sorts of people gathered in different rooms, many of them looking up information or taking notes based on other people's dictations, and there were quite a few people in the whole villa, but they strangely maintained a very quiet atmosphere, and the atmosphere was distinctly like the campus of a university.

From the outside, Zuo Lin's injuries were recovering well, except for a few bandages wrapped around his forearms, suppressed with special holy incense oil ointment, and digesting the energy of the darkness erosion, there were no traces of serious injuries. In the flower field, a beautiful little doll is intimately grinding with a large wolf in her arms, and the light blue sè baby clothes on the little boy's body are made of expensive psionic sensitive materials. The children of Zolin and Emile are now ahead of everyone when it comes to mastering the forces of nature. On the other side of the flower field, in a canvas shed, there are many tools piled up on one side, and on the other side are a few comfortable chaise longues, where Zuo Lin, Su Weixin, and Emile all sit, around a small table playing chess. On a small round table on the side, Xu Yi, Ouyang Yang, Geofitz and Irina were drinking drinks comfortably and chatting about different topics.

This kind of leisurely life scene is what everyone yearns for. At least, Clarence and Constantine, after a maddeningly busy experience, are extremely yearning for this kind of life gesture.

"What are you doing with me?" Seeing Clarence and Constantine, Zolin beckoned them to come to his side, and the Dream Demon Squire seemed to loom out of the void and brought chairs and drinks.

"Ask how you're recovering from your injuries...... We need you, and we need your power to sweep away the Saxon influence. Konstantin said bluntly.

"My current ability is only a little more than half of what it was at its peak, less than sixty percent. Now, when it comes to combat effectiveness, it's much worse than you. Zolin replied to Konstantin, "Even if that's the case, do you still want my strength?"

For this kind of conversation, as if he wanted to invite an old man who washed his hands of gold to come back to the world, Clarence was obviously prepared. "You must be very clear that this kind of so-called combat effectiveness sometimes doesn't have any reference value, does it?

Zuo Lin smiled and said, "The current situation is not something that I can change if I want to. ”

"It's not that pessimistic, and it's amazing how bold you've been in these hours. Konstantin said that before coming, he had already learned more about Zorin through various channels. Although the druids have quietly withdrawn from the front lines of the fight against the virus for various reasons, they have not stopped their efforts on all fronts. In the sporadic virus infection incidents that occur in various places, although they are not under unified command, as long as there are druids nearby, especially the people in the operations department, as long as someone asks them for help, they will provide some help within their ability. In cities where new garbage disposal stations have been built, with the signature of the druid, a sufficient amount of insect oil can be brought up from the station to help with the incineration work, or at least to refuel the cars that have been running for an unknown number of kilometers.

It may not be a big deal, but the help of these small things makes many people more and more nostalgic for the time when the druids gave them all their might. Now, although several powerful agencies are working together to eliminate the last effects of the virus, and occasionally dealing with small-scale outbreaks in one place, it is often a false positive. A large number of effective preparations against the "Phoenix" virus have also begun to be produced in large quantities, and vaccines have been quickly developed, and now the problem is how to deal with the last trouble of Saxony.

"If it weren't for something like this, it's really hard for me to imagine that one person, under the leadership of one person, could have an impact on the world to this extent. …… Can you calculate how much money and manpower have been invested in order to offset the damage and impact caused by the Saxony virus since it entered the world, how much money and material resources have been invested before and after, how much has the related losses been incurred worldwide, and how much has the distrust between countries and between people increased?"

Konstantin and Clarence looked at Zolin, as if they did not understand at all what the meaning of Zolin was saying these words at this time.

"Are you sure you're ready?" Zolin shook his head and said, "In any way, Saxony's power is no worse than that of the Truth Society or the Demon Hunter Organization?"

Clarence said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I thought I was ready...... That said, the Federation of Paranormal and the Truth Society have already carried out two armed infiltrations of Hell Island, and originally thought that there would not be too many Anomalies there, and they should be able to control the entire island. However, in addition to paying for almost fifty casualties, two prisoners were captured. ”

"Oh", Zuo Lin asked noncommittally, "Did you ask what was the point?"

"The situation was worse than expected. Although both Hell Island and Paradise Island are managed by ordinary people, there are quite a few ability formations and traps set up on the island, as well as battle golems that are spliced together with various things using the abilities of the undead series. When I first landed, I thought that Hell Island was just a Spartan fortress and camp, but I didn't expect it to be a killing field. Moreover, even normal people on that island have a concussion crystal embedded in the virus, as soon as the person's life signal disappears, the concussion crystal will burst open, and then ...... You know what to expect. Unlike Clarence, Clarence is a supernatural and a manager, unlike a field commander and powerful warrior like him who has been fighting on the front line of demon hunting for many years, Constantine explained in detail: "When I retreated, I had people bring a corpse, and later the forensic examination found that the concussion crystal had not been embedded for a long time, and the surrounding musculovascular tissue had not yet adapted to this foreign body. We're pretty skilled at dealing with this kind of zombie, but those battle puppets ...... Hey hey ......"

Konstantin and Clarence looked at each other and smiled wryly. If there's anything to compare to, it's probably only the bosses of the undead race in some games. The terrifying fighting power and the unique characteristics of undead creatures that only fight without pain and fear have made their team suffer enough.

"What about the Holy See?" Dealing with undead creatures seems to be the Holy See's specialty, and there is no reason why they should not be absent from such a major operation.

"We did not inform the Holy See. Clarence hesitated before speaking. On the one hand, the Truth Society and the Federation of Paranormal were outraged by the damage caused by the virus to the United States, and launched a brazen attack without informing the Holy See or the Druid Council, as the Americans have always done, while on the other hand, they were confident that they could easily deal with the three islands of Saxony and were certainly not the most well-guarded. I didn't expect that not only would I not be able to conquer Hell Island, but I didn't even do the least to figure out the situation. Now, although the Holy See will not give up dealing with the undead creature of Saxony, which is what the Holy See has always been most passionate about, I am afraid that it will not give the Truth Society and the Federation of Strangers any good face. Now, realizing that only by uniting together can the American side of Saxony be eliminated in a short period of time, I am afraid that the only way to turn to Zuolin, who has a better temper and has always been easier to speak, can then reunite the strength of these major organizations through the relationship between Zuolin and the Holy See.

"Americans are Americans, after all. Zuo Lin teased him very shamelessly. "Did you come to me just because you needed me to clear Mr. Murdonko?"

Without waiting for the two to answer, Zuo Lin said: "Finishing and doing the things that are in hand is a discipline I have received since I was a child. Naturally, this time is no exception. When I'm back to my best, I'll be ready. But what about you?"

Zuo Lin said in a cold and flat tone: "Coming back from the United States, indeed, I want to cultivate, adjust, and let the physical trauma slowly heal. But more importantly, I need this time, I need what is probably the most important leisure time of my life. Because I know better than anyone that if you want to attack Saxony's lair, the consequences will not be too unexpected. I also have a family, a family with old people, women and children, and this is the life I need. Likewise, it is also the life that all druids need to have to be selected to enter the final combat team. ”

Looking at the two people who were a little surprised, Zuo Lin continued: "The Druid Council has identified 20 people, including me, to participate in the continuous attack on Saxony's Hell Island, Paradise Island and Ark Island. Pick some people who are on vacation right now, adjusting themselves in various ways. On behalf of the Druid Council, I guarantee these people's combat abilities, qualifications, and their jīng deity. So, what can you guarantee? If you're really sure you need me to be the team leader, what kind of team are you going to put together for me?"
