Evolution begins with Resident Evil.

Just half an hour before Crane and others left the sewer, Luo Guang, who had eliminated all the night devils in the lair, discovered a strange thing - a half-formed night devil.

The ribs pierced the chest and began to be exposed, but they were not as flexible as ordinary Night Demons, and their jaws did not split in half.

In addition to these, other characteristics, such as skin peeling off to reveal developed muscle tissue, are very similar to ordinary night demons.

This thing was kneeling in a pool of blood. The pool was full of "people" who had lost all signs of life. Luo Guang even saw the corpses of infected people such as Night Walker.

There were umbilical cord-like things surrounding the kneeling semi-adult Night Demon, connected to it, and seemed to be providing it with nutrients.

The half-grown Night Demon closed his eyes tightly and did not react at all to Luo Guang's arrival.

In fact, there were several night crawlers around this strange night demon for defense. They did not cause trouble with Luo Guang with other zombies because they attacked the nest. However, for Luo Guang, these guys were easily dealt with.

From this point of view, the things in the flesh and blood pool must be very important to the Night Demon.

In fact, this is indeed the case, because this is the "reproduction" method of the night devils, so the night devils, or the Harlan virus, have received a good evaluation in Wang Qionglin's mysterious organization, and they believe that it can promote the evolution of human beings.

Coupled with the not much degraded intelligence and the rudimentary tribal social form, researchers from the mysterious organization even put forward a hypothesis, that is, the Night Demon is already a brand new species.

After cleaning up the entire lair, Luo Guang left the sewer and came to a basement.

Coming out of the basement is a central garden.

Different from the civilian areas, the architecture here is closer to the Middle Eastern style, using a large amount of stone to build houses, red tiles and white walls, long corridors and tall semicircular arches.

Luo Guang hid behind a pillar built with stones and reinforced with cement and lime, and looked at the group of people walking on the second floor of the opposite building.

Those people wore gray hooded robes that covered their entire bodies. The leader did not wear a hood. Instead, he wore a mask that looked like the sun. He was holding something like a censer in his hand, which was slowly emerging. Blue smoke.

The earliest record of this city of Harran is around the early 13th century. According to the records of unearthed cultural relics, a nomadic tribe composed mainly of hunters and gatherers came to this place and found that there were lakes and mountains that could meet their dietary needs. , and then settled down in this beautiful place.

This tribe is called the "Sons of the Sun", and the masks they wear during sacrifices are like a sun.

However, with the development of the times, this tribe gradually developed from a tribe into a secret sect - the Void Sect.

Why is it not called the Sun Sect? The reason is very simple. It is too common. If you search on the Internet, you can find many sects with the name of the Sun God.

Therefore, these "sons of the sun" made up a story based on the Virgin's special abilities that the Virgin communicates with the Sun God in an illusory world of consciousness.

This world of consciousness is in the void, so it is named the Void Sect.

Although Turkey has freedom of belief, more than 98% of people believe in the same religion, so in order to avoid conflicts, they generally only communicate in private and do not actively promote it.

But that was in the past. With the outbreak of the biochemical crisis in Harlan City, these Void Cult people found opportunities and developed many new believers.

Luo Guang had collected this information before he came to Harlan City. The Guangming Sect also used religion to cover up its ambitions and then grew stronger, so he would not ignore the information about the Void Sect.

According to records, the chief and spiritual guide of this tribe is "the Holy Mother", and this position is not hereditary.

People in their tribe have a special ability, which is to enter a certain trance state through self-guidance, and then in this state they will receive some revelations or see some disasters.

Not everyone can use this ability, it can only be said that they all have this potential, but no matter how the times change, there will always be someone in this tribe who can flexibly use this special ability, and that person will become the tribe's " Holy Mother”.

These things with a bit of mythology and superstition are not what Luo Guang is most concerned about now. What he cares more about is that there is a legend in this tribe.

That is, when a catastrophic plague sweeping the world comes to the earth and ravages the world, the Sun God will give enlightenment to the Virgin from heaven, and then, under the guidance of the Virgin, descend from heaven to purify the earth poisoned by the plague.

What happened at the institute was just Luo Guang's guess, and it wouldn't be surprising if these guys from the Void Sect came up with the Harlan virus.

Although the Harlan virus is currently only wreaking havoc in the city of Harlan and has not spread, to a certain extent, this legend has begun to come true, so it is not surprising that these "sons of the sun" will appear.

A biter appeared from the corner and came face-to-face with the people of the Void Cult. However, what Luo Guang found strange was that the biter did not attack the people of the Void Cult.

Feeling strange in his heart, he did not choose to contact the other party. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and took a photo. Then he used both hands to send the information about the night devil and the strange night devil in the lair to the Donald family, so that they could Forwarded to Sams.

We will talk about it later when Samus received various information from his boss one after another. Let us focus on Luo Guang first.

Luo Guang did not tell anyone about the fact that the people of the Void Sect were not attacked by the enemy, but planned to investigate it himself.

So what he has to do is to track the Void Cult believers. The problem is that the zombies will not attack the believers, but there is a high probability that they will attack themselves, which will make it very difficult for him to track them.

After thinking for a while, Luo Guang came up with a plan. He first looked up and down at his clothes and equipment to make sure he looked like a survivor.

The followers of the Void Sect are heading towards their destinations, preparing to meet up with other believers.

This time the leader wearing a mask is a priest of the Void Cult, who can also be called a priest. He is generally responsible for going to various places in the old city to find survivors for preaching.

He came out this time because the sect received radio contact from the survivors, so he came to absorb the believers here.

Suddenly there was a burst of noise behind him, and the priest looked back. The new believers following behind him consciously moved left and right, revealing space for the priest to see clearly what was happening behind him.

I saw a young man with black hair and black eyes running out of an alley, with many zombies chasing behind him.

The young man saw himself and others walking nonstop, yelled to run quickly, and then approached them.

The newly joined believer looked a little shaken, his body swayed, his head hidden under the hood of his robe turned around, and he looked at the only person wearing a mask.

The priest looked very calm: "Our Lady will protect you. Come close to me and follow me."

This is a good opportunity. The newly joined believers and those who have not joined, the unprotected people are solved by the infected, which can just shock the new believers and make them believe in the Holy Mother even more.

Luo Guang saw the group of believers following the leader toward the road and giving way.

"Run! Follow me!" Luo Guang shouted again, then ran directly to the leader, grabbed the other person's hand, and pulled the priest away.

The hand holding the incense burner was painfully held by Luo Guang. He couldn't help but let go of his hand. The incense burner fell to the ground, and the blue powder inside was scattered on the ground.

He didn't know what the blue smoke was, so Luo Guang controlled his breathing and did not inhale the smoke when he captured the priest.

The new believers were shocked when faced with this situation.

According to the priest, after joining the Void Sect, he and others can receive the blessing of the Holy Mother and survive this disaster. They have just verified this fact.

But their backbone, the priest, was captured. Now looking at the zombies approaching them, the experience of the previous survivors made them really have no courage to gamble.

After the first one ran away, the others also ran away, leaving only a young girl who couldn't move her body because of fear. She just stood there, looking at the zombies approaching, and she was so scared that she peed.

But the zombies did not attack the girl. They bypassed the area and continued to chase in the direction of Luo Guang. They also did not chase the Protestants who fled in other directions.

Luo Guang glanced back to confirm the situation of the hooded and robed men. He did not know that those people were just survivors who had survived hard in the old city ten minutes ago, and thought they were staunch believers of the Void Sect.

No matter what, the zombies did not attack those people. This is true.

The priest tried to break free from Luo Guang's hand, but it was all in vain.

"You guy, let me go!" The priest who was dragged away by Luo Guang shouted loudly: "I have the blessing of the Holy Mother, zombies can't hurt me."

Although their sect is superstitious, they still recognize zombies and have not come up with a new term to describe those people as sinners.

If the Void Religion defined zombies as sinners, not many people would believe it.

They are now adapting the legend that the Sun God purified the world of plague disasters for publicity. After all, people just contract the virus and turn into zombies, which is in line with the legend of a plague.

But Luo Guang looked unbelieving, looking at him as if he were crazy, and said: "Don't be crazy, how is this possible!"

Taking a sharp turn, the priest was thrown directly into the back of a car by Luo Guang. His vision went dark and he fainted.

When he woke up again, he was already in a room with no lights on and only the sunlight from outside shining in through the glass window.

When he saw himself waking up, a figure walked out of the darkness opposite the priest, just like a big boss in some games.

"who are you?"

"I am a child of the sun."

"..."

Luo Guang, who appeared wearing a sun god mask, silenced the priest with one word.

"Don't be silent, I worked so hard to save you, you should thank me." Luo Guang felt a little embarrassed.

Hearing Luo Guang's words, the priest wanted to spit at the other party and cursed angrily: "With the protection of the Holy Mother, we will not be attacked by zombies at all! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be knocked unconscious! This matter is up and down. I don’t need you to save me at all!”

"Who knows these things? Who knows that zombies won't attack humans." Luo Guang said without apology, rolling his eyes, "Why are those zombies not attacking you? Is it related to the blue smoke? "

The priest did not answer immediately. He seemed to be thinking or in a daze, but then he seemed to be struggling, rolling his eyes and sweating profusely.

Luo Guang was not anxious, he waited quietly and observed the other party's situation carefully.

After a few minutes, the priest said: "If you really want to know, go to the temple in Haran and find me."

"I am a foreigner, where is the temple?"

"..."

After the other party was silent for a while, he told Luo Guang the address.

This temple is actually a famous tourist attraction in Harlan City. Not only locals don't know it, but also a must-visit check-in point for outsiders, so the other party is silent.

"Then we'll meet over there." Luo Guang smiled and waved goodbye to the other party.

After inserting the other person's sacrificial knife into the center of the other person's eyebrow, he walked over and started disposing of the body. He added to the dead priest: "Holy Mother, you have aroused my interest."

After the priest lost consciousness, Luo Guang gave him a shot of T-Veronica virus (special edition).

As a result, he found that the injected virus did not take effect immediately. After a period of research, he discovered something.

That is, there are other viruses in this priest's body. Judging from some previous situations, the virus in this guy's body is probably Haran virus, which can explain why those believers have not been attacked by zombies.

In Luo Guang's original plan, he planned to make this believer his undercover agent in the Void Sect. Just like the Berlin incident, the priest would lead him into the core area of ​​the Void Sect or contact the higher levels of the sect.

Under normal circumstances, a priest infected with the T-Veronica virus would quickly reply directly to Luo Guang's question, but the other party was caught in a tangle and struggle.

This was the first time that his control ability had problems. Someone suddenly snatched control of the priest from him and prevented him from telling the secrets of the Void Religion. It must have been triggering some keywords.

Although there was no evidence, Luo Guang guessed that the opponent was the Holy Mother of the Void Sect.

On the surface, the opponent won, but this was actually Luo Guang's deliberate show of weakness, allowing the T-Veronica virus in the priest's body to lurk and deceive the opponent.

Naturally, he showed weakness to the enemy in order to obtain more intelligence and pave the way for the subsequent battle with the enemy.

The two sides may not actually fight, but based on his past experience, Luo Guang feels that such a fight is more likely.

From the fight just now, Luo Guang discovered one thing. The fight for control was not actually a confrontation between the consciousnesses of the two sides, but a battle between two completely different viruses in the priest's body.

In the battle, the T-Veronica virus gained the upper hand.

The number of Harlan virus in the priest's body is dominant, but its combat effectiveness is far inferior to Luo Guang's specially made T-Veronica virus. As the battle progresses, the number of viruses controlled by Luo Guang is increasing. many.

Because he didn't know the characteristics of the Harlan virus, he needed to kill the priest with a flying knife to avoid any omissions, such as collecting more information about himself through this guy's ears and eyes.

Although he didn't know what the other party's next plan was, Luo Guang still decided to go to the temple as scheduled to try to find out the truth about the Void Sect.
