Chapter 439: Chapter 133: Gnawing on the Flesh of the Awakener, There’s a Situation_3

Although he was strong, when others showed respect to him, he reciprocated the respect.

Respect is mutual.

Though he was not well-educated, he understood such principles.

"Not smoking is good, I don’t really smoke much either, but I used to need it when chatting with friends or discussing business. Without smoking, something always seemed missing, and I gradually got used to it," He Qing said with a smile.

Lin Fan maintained his smile, curious about why He Qing was looking for him. Judging by the situation with the "Lucky Number," everything was functioning normally; there did not seem to be any problems.

If he was being plagued by some powerful zombies, fixating on him,

he would naturally be willing to help.

He Qing continued, "I’ve heard from my people lately that the zombies nearby are becoming fewer."

Lin Fan said, "I cleared them."

If anyone else made such a claim, he would definitely blow their head off. There’s a limit to how much you can boast, isn’t there?

But he knew how formidable Lin Fan was.

Beyond what a normal person could be.

"Impressive, I think the other survivors would cheer for your actions if they knew about them."

"Not at all, this is just what an ordinary citizen should do."

He always positioned his identity correctly.

Just a citizen of Huang City.

He never thought of himself as a savior; that was a tiresome idea. Being burdened with an undeserved reputation, he would feel uncomfortable living.

Talking to Lin Fan, for He Qing, meant not worrying that the other might suddenly lash out and kill him, but he knew one thing; in Huang City, no matter what he did, he had to always maintain reason and avoid acting recklessly.

This was a form of suppression.

It had its benefits as well as drawbacks, depending on how one looked at it.

The bodyguards around watched.

They had never seen Mr. He so amiable, cautiously conversing with someone.

This was the power of strength.

They all had reports from followers; this man was fierce, leaping up to the roof of a skyscraper in one bound, then down again to slay zombies, so powerful and astonishing that even calling him a god wasn’t an exaggeration.

Initially, they thought that his carrying weapons from a game was odd, feeling this guy was a bit crazy, loving to show off. Now, it seemed that truly formidable people were often very unique.

In simple conversation, discussing inconsequential stuff like prospects for the apocalypse or the future, which was ordinarily just casual talk, was turned by Lin Fan into a profound lesson, making it seem like a hopeful light was right in front of He Qing, already shining brightly.

He Qing muttered to himself, this kind of conviction and determination, it would be a pity not to be in telemarketing.

He led Lin Fan to the Lucky Number’s research lab.

It was rudimentary, without any high-end equipment.

A group of people were moving around.

He Qing got straight to the point, discussing the important matter.

"This is a crystal. Recently, survivors from the bank agreed on a deal, and it was found out that the energy within the crystal could be absorbed by metals. However, I’ve been thinking, although the use for metals is significant, compared to zombies, it still seems somewhat insufficient," He Qing said gravely.

He felt that the crystal’s effects were far from limited to this and inviting Lin Fan over meant that if other uses could be found, it would be best.

How was that supernatural power formed by non-humans?

Surely it wasn’t natural.

During peacetime, no one was seen with such amazing abilities.

It definitely appeared after the apocalypse.

The only explanation was the crystal. The energy of the crystal was not only absorbable by metals, maybe even humans could absorb it.

"You’re right, the varieties of zombies today are numerous and they pose a great threat to humanity. Even if metals absorb the crystal energy, the effects aren’t very noticeable. Facing some Evolutionary Zombies, they still can’t be dealt with," Lin Fan said slowly, while He Qing listened intently, pondering if there were other secrets.

"But for humanity, this is already a great advancement. Technology combined with crystal will unleash brilliant radiance."

Thinking of those War Armors, it really was a step forward, capable of dealing with many zombies, except for some exceptionally monstrous ones.

"Is there a possibility that humans could absorb the energy from the crystals?"

He Qing observed Lin Fan’s expression, hoping to detect even the slightest change—if only to prove that it was feasible. Sadly... Lin Fan’s expression remained very calm, without any ripple.

Lin Fan shook his head, "I don’t know; I haven’t come across any cases where humans could absorb it."

Regret.

This wasn’t the result He Qing wanted to hear.

He felt unwilling, already knowing one use of the crystal, yet it was not for enhancing one’s own power. If it could strengthen oneself, that would be much more useful than other uses.

"What a pity, if we could find a way to enhance the human body, we could end this chaotic apocalypse sooner," He Qing lamented.

"Yes, I think so too."

Lin Fan’s expression was tranquil and calm, and while he knew He Qing’s thoughts, he truly did not know if the crystal could affect the human body.

"I have an inappropriate request. I don’t know if you would agree."

He Qing looked tense, tentatively asking.

"Speak," Lin Fan said.

"I wonder if it would be possible to sell me some crystals. I want to continue researching them, hoping to discover something new."

His words framed it as a matter of great righteousness.

Everything was for fighting the apocalypse.

Lin Fan laughed, "No need; you need to have faith in the future. There are already professional experts researching it; they have advanced technology, professional knowledge, and are some of the top talents in the country. We don’t need to mess around."
