I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade
Chapter 335 - 116: Show off as a sage in public? No, I’m just an ordinary citizen.

Chapter 335: Chapter 116: Show off as a sage in public? No, I’m just an ordinary citizen.

Han Shuang and the others looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes.

Some were filled with pity.

She seemed to see right through their thoughts, pretending to be very strong in front of them, but this way of behaving was clearly wrong, and it ferociously fell into Lin Fan’s most hated issues.

Han Shuang knew that Lin Fan always prided himself on being an ordinary law-abiding citizen of Huang City. Since the apocalypse began, he had always maintained his past lifestyle habits.

Upon closer thought, although she had never witnessed it herself, she had heard them say that Brother Lin, when encountering evildoers outside, liked to turn the wrongdoers over to the police station, to be dealt with by Officer Huang.

Who was Officer Huang?

Everyone knew he was the officer Lin Fan spoke of who maintained Huang City’s order even as a zombie, but a zombie was still a zombie, dangerous nonetheless. What became of those evildoers taken there, one didn’t even need to think to know.

Jin Ding seemed quite pleased with himself, holding his head high, constantly observing Lin Fan’s expression.

Performance was one thing.

He also observed the situation at Sunshine District. It was a shelter of considerable scale, with children playing in the distance and that steel beast, a life-saving behemoth on land.

The strength was there, but compared to the Lucky, it was bound to be greatly inferior.

Lin Fan didn’t make a scene and looked at them calmly, "Would you come with me somewhere?"

"Where to?" Jin Ding was puzzled. His mission was to deliver supplies here, and other matters had nothing to do with him. Although he asked where to, he wasn’t the least bit panicked. Right now, he was considered a representative of the Lucky, and showing fear in front of other survivors was a disgrace.

Lin Fan said, "You’ll know once we get there, I have to go out too."

It was terrifying, truly terrifying.

From the apocalypse to now, he had never encountered such a frightening individual.

So blatant.

To utter such terrifying words in front of him, he couldn’t detect a hint of fear on the other’s face, and there was even a trace of smugness, as if they had done something very proud.

If this were the peaceful times, how could they let the other wander about outside at will?

As for now, indeed, it was a collapse, a shattering of legal, moral, and ethical values.

But fortunately, even in such times, there were still good citizens around. As a good citizen of Huang City, he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

At this moment.

Jin Ding exchanged a glance with his underling, silently nodding in understanding.

"Sure, no problem. We at the Lucky are very sincere." He hadn’t realized the seriousness of the situation, remaining casual and carefree, not contemplating any trouble that could arise later.

Lin Fan patted his shoulder, and Jin Ding looked at the hand Lin Fan placed there, a smile forming on his face. Was this a sign of recognition and of wanting to make acquaintance? Clearly, the Lucky held a very high status in his heart too. If he couldn’t get on good terms with Boss He, then he should start from here.

It reminded him of period dramas he had seen before.

No matter the rank of the official, they were always courteous to the eunuchs close to the emperor.

A strange analogy.

But that was the gist of it.

Lin Fan, with his arm over Jin Ding and the underling, smiled as he led them away. When encountering criminals, it was best to outwit them if possible, for with firearms in the hands of the felons, any gunfire would be highly dangerous.

Xu Zeyang watched their departing figures, "Boss, I feel that once they go, it might be very difficult to see them again in this lifetime."

Han Shuang replied, "Yeah, probably not."

Wen Jie said, "Nonsense, our Brother Lin is famously law-abiding. Just take that guy just now, he’s got some nerve, to say such things in front of Brother Lin. It’s like an old man asking for death by hanging himself, tired of living."

Old Mao exclaimed, "It’s exactly because of this that people can feel a sense of security. In the apocalyptic world of survivors, there are far too many horrors of humanity fading away. I really want other survivors to know that the apocalypse isn’t a time to do whatever one pleases; there are still people upholding the last moral bottom line."

Thinking back to earlier encounters outside, the repeated near-misses with Lin Fan had been due to the wariness towards human nature, but ultimately good fortune doesn’t betray the diligent, still finding their way to Sunshine District, living an apocalyptic life a thousand times happier than others.

...

On the streets.

Jin Ding and Lin Fan sat in the back of the vehicle.

"Where are we heading?"

Jin Ding was a bit lost, unable to grasp Lin Fan’s actions; why would he casually take them out without saying where to, only pointing in the direction, quite odd indeed.

Lin Fan said, "It’ll be quick."

Jin Ding looked at Lin Fan, quietly touching the handle of the gun at his waist. He was a bit suspicious if the other wanted to kill them, but then thought it couldn’t be possible. Ever since arriving at Sunshine District, everything he did and said hadn’t presented any issue, simultaneously conveying the friendliness of the Lucky to him.

Changing the subject.

"I noticed that near Sunshine District, the number of zombies is particularly good. Is there some sort of trick?"

Jin Ding was very curious. Zombies were terrifying to anyone who saw them, yet the situation near Sunshine District was a bit beyond his expectations.

"No trick, just killing all the zombies around," Lin Fan replied casually, while Jin Ding looked at him oddly, as if he were watching someone bragging nonsensically. If it weren’t for Boss He wanting to maintain a good relationship with the Sunshine District shelter.

He would certainly retort with, "What kind of big talk are you spouting, the bulls back home aren’t as bull as you."

"Impressive, what about the corpses of the zombies?" Jin Ding didn’t want to be too blunt, but asked about a topic that was easy to refute, simply wanting Lin Fan to understand that the bragging might not hold up under scrutiny.
