Chapter 167: Chapter 88 Oh, What a Shame to Miss Out on Talents_2

It felt strange for Su Xiaoxiao to hear discussions about money in the post-apocalyptic world, but recalling the recent scene where the other party had bought a cake, she came to terms with it.

Pointing at some things in the shop.

There were quite a few things.

Electronic equipment, materials, and so on—all were essentials needed for making cakes and bread.

Lin Fan nodded his head, committing these items to memory.

He then set off toward the Sunshine District with Su Xiaoxiao, who looked at the streets outside with dread, her mind filled with the terrifying thought of zombies.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m here."

Lin Fan said, and though the words were few, they seemed filled with immense power, able to stabilize a fragile spirit.

Thinking of the many zombies he had eliminated, Su Xiaoxiao mustered the courage to follow closely beside Lin Fan, as if afraid that zombies might suddenly rush out from the sides.

On the road.

Lin Fan chatted casually with her and learned that the bakery had been overrun by zombies due to a gang’s misdoing. Hearing this, Lin Fan’s impression of the gang was extremely unfriendly.

You can be indifferent to others, but you shouldn’t harm them.

He wanted to know where this team was.

Unfortunately, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know either.

She hoped they would run into Officer Huang, who would certainly uphold justice and teach them a lesson if they met.

Sunshine District.

Upon arriving, Su Xiaoxiao began to truly believe Lin Fan’s words. There were indeed many survivors alive, and one could tell from their spirits that they had been living well here.

Unburdened by the apocalypse’s oppression.

At that moment, her own spirit was in a poor state; compared to the others, she felt like a beggar.

Inside the house.

Seeing the scene before her, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned into stillness, taking a long time to snap back to reality. She had not expected such a living environment; had she left with Li Qi earlier, the outcome would’ve been unimaginable.

She did not know who Lin Fan was, or what kind of existence he represented; just that someone could establish such a shelter amidst the dangers of the apocalypse was truly beyond imagination.

"Are you satisfied with this place?"

A voice rang out.

Like a startled rabbit, Su Xiaoxiao was somewhat flustered, a reaction borne from the environment she had grown accustomed to. The many days of fear and apprehension followed by sudden tranquility left her momentarily unable to react.

"Grandpa Wang." She recognized the elderly man before her, having been introduced earlier. It seemed that in the Sunshine District, he was a person of considerable status, deeply respected by everyone.

Old Master Wang said kindly, "Hmm, you might feel a bit out of place since you just arrived, but don’t worry. Everyone living here is very nice; if you have any troubles, just talk to us."

Old Master Wang trusted the people Lin Fan brought back. Just by looking at this girl, it was clear she was a good person. He couldn’t help but admit that Lin Fan had sharp eyes.

"Thank you, Grandpa Wang. I can feel that everyone is good. I am fortunate to become a member of the Sunshine District. I will treat this place as my home and everyone as my family, striving together through the apocalypse," Su Xiaoxiao said.

She was once again full of hope for her future life.

She thought about how Lin Fan had been watching her from the road, surely intending to rescue her, yet she mistook him for a pervert. At this thought, she almost wanted to slap herself.

How could she misjudge someone so badly?

It was torturous.

Old Master Wang laughed and said, "Child, Grandpa came here with no other intention, just to talk to you about the customs of our district and Lin Fan’s situation. When he asked you to pay rent for your room, it wasn’t because he’s out of his mind, but because..."

Whenever new survivors arrived, Old Master Wang acted like Lin Fan’s spokesperson, enlightening them about the district.

At that moment.

Lin Fan arrived at the vegetable garden.

"Brother Gu, how’s it going?"

Gu Hang, along with Wang Kai, was repairing the fence, with Spirit, the dog, squatting there, watching intently like a diligent supervisor. If he noticed anyone slacking off, he’d give them a wake-up spritz with his dog pee.

Gu Hang responded, "Not bad. We’re working on the foundation, planning to raise it a little higher."

Wang Kai was sorting through the materials. He had a substantial workload, from repairing the fence with Gu Hang’s family to digging a fish pond in the afternoon, all demanding manual and technical labor. But he never complained; in fact, he reveled in it. It was their shelter, after all, and any enhancement to its defense was a most welcome task.

Lin Fan watched with a pleased heart. He had just earned seven hundred as a mediator, and the money in his pocket was comforting.

Looking at the partially dug fish pond.

"I will help you with the fish pond."

His strength and physical stamina were both up to the task.

He should be able to help everyone.

Gu Hang and Wang Kai were about to protest, saying there was no need for him to bother, that they could handle it, and he should attend to his own matters while they took care of these small tasks. But as they saw what was unfolding before them.

The words they were about to utter were choked back.

In their eyes, Lin Fan was like an excavator, working at incredible speed, digging repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, a large pit had been excavated.

Watching, just watching.

In a short span of time, he had matched what would have taken them half a day.

They exchanged glances, silent, and continued with their work.

Gu Hang had a vision for the development of the Sunshine District. Basic defense was crucial. Perhaps with Lin Fan around, even if the district were breached by zombies, they could hide in their houses, keep quiet, and Lin Fan would deal with the zombies.

But he did not want to rely on that. If they could improve the district’s defenses and security, why not put in the effort?

"Brother Gu, Wang Kai, do you think this is enough?" Lin Fan asked, feeling he had dug quite a bit.
