Chapter 258: Chapter 103: Arrogant CEO-like Embrace... Are You Okay?_3

They adhered to the behavioral bottom line of peaceful times, unaffected by the apocalypse.

The words of Grandfather Wang exploded in their hearts like a bolt from the blue.

’Within humans lie the hearts of beasts, few truly recognize this.’

Indeed.

It wasn’t wrong.

Zhou Ting thought about the events that had unfolded. The apocalypse was like an invisible pair of hands, appearing behind every survivor, pushing some forward quickly, others slowly.

He used to think it was the apocalyptic circumstances that turned once friendly people into villains.

Now it seemed that perhaps everyone harbored a beastly heart deep within, and those apocalyptic hands were merely the bait that triggered its release.

The shop was quickly put in order.

Lin Fan took out three hundred yuan from the drawer, one bill per person.

Smelling the scent of the banknotes, Wang Kai showed a delighted smile, rightfully putting the money in his pocket. Then, he looked at Zhou Ting, "Feels good, right? Making money is like this, as long as you work hard, you can reap rewards."

"Yeah, indeed." Zhou Ting put away the money. He liked living in the Sunshine District. Although it seemed strange to outsiders, for him, such a life was comforting and satisfying. A seed of hope was rooting and sprouting in his heart, feeling that one day, things would definitely get better.

Lin Fan smiled.

He liked seeing hope burning in everyone’s hearts.

All he wanted was to lead them, following the old rules, developing the Sunshine District, showing them that Huang City had a future.

Just as they were preparing to leave,

a strange sound came.

"Is... anyone... there?"

Upon hearing the voice,

Wang Kai and Zhou Ting realized something was off about it; it didn’t sound like anything a human could produce.

Suddenly turning their heads, they clearly saw the figure at the door.

Startled, they retreated repeatedly, ending up sitting on the ground, eyes wide open, staring intently.

At the door stood a zombie, different from others. Short and seemingly old, yet it topped an elastic neck that bounced up and down like that of a child.

"Someone’s here," Lin Fan said with a smile.

He noticed the zombies were getting stranger by the day, with many bizarre varieties emerging. In what direction were the zombies evolving?

The strange zombie twisted its grey-white eyes, bringing an added sense of horror compared to other zombies. What surprised Lin Fan even more was... the zombie could speak.

At that moment,

it seemed like Lin Fan had answered its question.

The strange zombie let out a ’hehe’ roar and then turned and walked to the center of the street. Its head began to swell up like a balloon, soon bulging, reminding him of the self-destructing zombie he had encountered before.

Understanding the danger of a self-destructing zombie,

Lin Fan couldn’t allow this to continue. His footsteps hit the ground, leaving an afterimage, his hands brandishing the frosty light of Frost Mourne.

Swish!

Swish!

The strange zombie was instantly split apart, its flesh scattering on the ground.

[Killed an Attracting Zombie]

[Points +3]

Lin Fan was quite astounded. Attracting Zombies, a very strange type he had not encountered before. It seemed a new kind of zombie had appeared.

"It’s okay, don’t be scared."

He turned back to Wang Kai and others, smiling.

He gathered tools to clean up the scattered flesh on the ground and threw it in the trash can, as he was responsible for the cleanliness of the street to a large extent and couldn’t just ignore it.

He led them back to the district.

Seeing Yan Nini and others playing with a group of children, he showed a relieved smile, walking around the district. The once lifeless district was now vibrant with their arrival.

This was not only due to his efforts but also because of everyone’s persistence and hard work.

The farmland was lush with green, the vegetables growing well, the labor of Sister Li and Grandma Xu. Being able to eat fresh vegetables was something to be happy about.

Even if it was the apocalypse, as long as there was hope, there could be a harvest.

Looking at the wall, Gu Hang and Wang Kai had already fortified it solidly and increased its height significantly; under normal circumstances, it was very safe.

They had started repairing it several days ago, and now they could see the results.

"Lin Fan, what are you looking at?" Gu Hang came over, seeing Lin Fan standing alone and watching, curiously coming over to ask.

Lin Fan smiled, "Just looking at the changes in the district, it feels like a big transformation."

Gu Hang said, "Yes, these are all the results of everyone’s collaborative effort. A single person definitely can’t achieve this. Next, I plan to build an iron house near the fitness equipment area to provide a refuge if zombies manage to get into the district one day and someone can’t make it upstairs in time."

Gu Hang had many ideas and considered every possibility; as long as he could think of it, he thought about taking action, like a little motor that never stops.

Lin Fan said, "Gu Hang, your ideas are quite good."

Gu Hang laughed, "Ideas are just ideas, but as long as we take action to bring them to life, that’s what matters most. Lin Fan, I have another idea. The neighboring district is the Garden District, right?"

"Yes, it’s the Garden District," Lin Fan said.

The houses in the Garden District next door were newer than those in the Sunshine District, with a better environment and naturally higher prices.
