Chapter 272: Chapter 105 Reflection, Sigh, The Melancholic Lin Fan_3

The officer Huang made a "hehe" sound, which seemed like a response to Lin Fan, and yet as if he didn’t heed Lin Fan at all.

Thump!

Dawu slumped to the ground, staring at the back of officer Huang for a long time without regaining his composure, until a hand reached out to him. He looked up at Lin Fan to see Lin Fan smiling and saying, "Congratulations on earning officer Huang’s approval, but don’t do such things in the future. We have hands and feet; we should rely on our own labor to earn our well-deserved rewards, not build our gains on the losses of others. All that hard-earned money belongs to them."

"Thank you," said Dawu, who didn’t get up but bowed deeply toward the serene entrance of the police station.

A ray of sunlight shone on Dawu’s back, lingering for a long time as if it were baptizing the sins he once committed. After facing Huang’s guttural howls of judgement, it was as if he had been imprisoned, and after serving his time, he was released in the hope that he could lead a clean life from now on and not get bogged down in the mire again.

This matter was not only a redemption for Dawu but also made Lin Fan realize something, that when he himself couldn’t see clearly and was indecisive, it was absolutely right to seek Huang’s opinion.

He also knew that officer Huang could see through a person’s true nature better than he could.

Perhaps in officer Huang’s heart, Dawu still had a conscience and had not sunk too deeply; beyond the stick and roar, Huang also awakened his conscience with a humane touch, helping him cleanse his soul so that he could step cleanly and solidly back into society.

"Let’s go," Lin Fan said.

"Where to?"

Lin Fan raised the book in his hand, "Let’s return this book first."

"Okay."

Dawu nodded heavily.

Following beside Lin Fan, what had happened, what he had experienced, had deeply impacted him. He watched Lin Fan pay for the medicine, interact with Huang of the police station, and especially witnessed him returning the book to the library and getting back his deposit.

For Dawu, it was as if he had grasped some truth that he needed to quietly feel and understand, slowly with his heart.

...

...

Dragon Palace Base.

After two days and one night’s travel.

They finally arrived near the base.

The eagles looked around. The area was deserted, with only the occasional zombie appearing and nothing else. In the past, with their ranks in the military, they would not have been privy to such experiences.

On their way here, they had encountered many dangers, the most perilous being during refueling, when they had to be vigilant for zombies, and they had encountered Evolutionary Zombies.

Thankfully, the armored vehicle was very powerful. If it had been those sedans from before, they’d have been overturned by the zombies by now.

Inside the base.

"Professor Xia, welcome to our base," said a researcher as he shook hands with Xia Deren, offering a warm welcome. With the apocalypse happening, top-tier researchers were becoming increasingly rare, and knowing that this one was still alive was exhilarating for any survivor in Dragon Palace Base.

Xia Deren said without pleasantries, "Which other bases are still in existence now?"

The researcher replied, "Aside from our Dragon Palace Base, the only ones we’ve been in contact with are Galaxy Base and Desert Base. Communication with other bases has been lost for now; they may have been overrun by zombies."

Although Xia was old, he was prompt and decisive, "Set up the video conference, I want to communicate with the other two bases."

"Professor Xia, you’ve just arrived, don’t you need to rest?"

"No need, I’ve rested enough already. The apocalypse is getting worse by the day. I’ll rest properly once the apocalyptic situation is resolved."

Professor Xia waved his hand dismissively.

The surrounding researchers looked on with respect, realizing that if Professor Xia, at his age, was still so dedicated, it was truly admirable.

With the appearance of Professor Xia.

Both Galaxy Base and Desert Base received the news and reacted excitedly, as if a central pillar had emerged. The achievements between people were significant, and their thinking and intelligence were different.

The researchers at the base were all proud of their prowess. They were once top scorers in college entrance exams, if not the very top, then within the top ten of their province. But they knew that compared to Professor Xia, their knowledge was still lacking. Even if they continued to study with Professor Xia, they could still learn much that was unknown to them.

In the conference room.

The video connection was established, and the main participant of this conference was Professor Xia.

As the video started.

One researcher after another appeared on screen, and upon seeing Professor Xia, they all showed great excitement.

"Professor Xia."

"Mentor Xia."

All kinds of titles were used.

From Desert Base, Qiuyue spoke through the screen, "Grandpa Xia, hello."

Professor Xia greeted everyone warmly, noting Qiuyue and feeling particularly moved, for it was unexpected to see the once young girl now capable of standing on her own.

"Alright, everyone, now’s not the time for reminiscing. The apocalypse is upon us, people are turning into zombies, it’s a crisis. So far, have any of you made any significant research findings?" Professor Xia inquired.

The spokesperson from Galaxy Base shook his head in frustration, "Professor Xia, as of now, our Galaxy Base has not made any substantial progress."

It wasn’t for lack of effort or intelligence.

But the zombie situation was too peculiar.

Many experiments had ended in failure.

Professor Xia nodded, "Qiuyue, what about you?"

Qiuyue reported, "Grandpa Xia, we, like Galaxy Base, after countless experiments, still have not found the reason why humans turn into zombies."
