Chapter 467: Chapter 138: The Formation of the Corpse Ball

"Big brother, what is he here for?"

Guan Hao watched the vehicle driving away into the distance, somewhat confused. The visitor had arrived in a hurry, knelt down to Big Brother immediately, and then, without anything further, left reluctantly with a bottle of ice-cold Coke.

"It’s just a small misunderstanding caused by misinformation."

Lin Fan explained that it was all due to a lack of information.

"Oh."

Guan Hao nodded his head, half-understanding.

Wang Kai’s eyes craftily watched Guan Hao, noting how naturally he called out ’big brother’.

At that moment,

under the guidance of their physical education teacher Qiu Bing, the children were running down the street to exercise. Staying in shape was crucial, especially in a post-apocalyptic world where physical health was even more critical. Nowadays, unlike before, children were prone to illness, and falling sick was quite troublesome.

Therefore, having a healthy body was extremely important.

"Teacher Qiu, exercising, huh?" Lin Fan greeted with a smile.

Qiu Bing smiled and said, "Yes, we’re running as our morning exercise."

Leading the group was Gu Zicheng, the oldest among the children, "Uncle Lin, good morning."

"Good morning." Lin Fan smiled back.

Feifei was walking in the second position, while Tiantian said, "Uncle Lin, good."

"Good."

Tingting cheerfully said, "Uncle Lin, good."

"Good."

...

The children greeted Lin Fan cheerily. In the hearts of the children of Sunshine District, Lin Fan held a high status; he was the idol in the hearts of the group of kids.

This situation was due to Feifei and Tingting constantly brainwashing the kids.

For instance, Tingting would say, "Uncle Lin likes me the most."

Feifei, not to be outdone, would stick her head up and boast, "Uncle Lin likes me the most. I was the first child he saved."

This spurred the other children with the idea that they too should strive to become Uncle Lin’s favorite kid.

Watching the group of kids running around the shop-lined streets, Lin Fan’s smile never faded; he enjoyed this peaceful atmosphere and loved to see the children’s innocent smiles.

Guan Hao, watching too, exclaimed, "Big brother, what you do really earns my respect. Even now, in these last days, you still provide these children with a peaceful life, protecting them from the devastation of the apocalypse."

"Not at all, I’m just doing what I can. The credit for the improvements here doesn’t belong to me alone but to everyone here," Lin Fan modestly shifted the accomplishment from himself to everyone involved.

Guan Hao said, "Under big brother’s leadership, we’re moving towards a hopeful future. Without your guidance, we would be wandering in darkness, seeing not even a sliver of hope. It’s because of you, big brother, that we can do better."

Lin Fan smiled, not saying much. The road had to be walked by oneself; he was merely providing some guidance.

Wang Kai, looking at Guan Hao who was closely supporting Lin Fan, sighed inwardly, really hoping not to have new strong competitors.

To him, both Ah Hai and Guan Hao were formidable.

Also, Xu Zeyang had mentioned the covert bootlicker Wen Jie, who was not to be underestimated either.

"Today has just begun, and I need to go out and clear the environment. You guys go about your business," Lin Fan thought of the tasks at hand, very busy, determined to clear all the zombies in Huang City.

Guan Hao and Wang Kai watched his retreating figure.

Guan Hao sighed, "With big brother here, I feel very secure. If my older brother could stay here, he would probably be enjoying a peaceful life like me, instead of wandering outside."

Wang Kai asked, "Have you ever eaten dog food?"

"No," Guan Hao shook his head.

Wang Kai reminisced, "When I was at the water plant, I was with my dog. Those days were an unforgettable experience for me. I never thought I would end up eating dog food with my dog, to the point of wanting to vomit."

Guan Hao patted Wang Kai on the shoulder, "Brother Kai, you are lucky."

"Yeah, I am fortunate," Wang Kai thought so too, feeling very fortunate to have been saved by Brother Lin.

"Not everyone can have something to eat; some people, driven by extreme hunger, wouldn’t even pass up on feces."

Guan Hao was telling the bitter truth. Hunger was painful, and when it reached a certain level, the brain would hallucinate. He commented that not just dog food, but even an 82-year-old piece of feces could smell delicious, and with some enoki mushrooms, it would be like hitting the jackpot.

Wang Kai: ...?

...

On the street,

Lin Fan looked around at the environment; the zombies he had killed were lying quietly, long exposed to the sun and turning into mummies, the rotting smell wafting, barely emitting any foul stench anymore.

Walking, walking,

there came some noise from ahead.

There were sounds from inside a shop, and a van parked at the door, which had been crudely modified with wire mesh covering the windows to resist zombie attacks.

"Hello there,"

he greeted, standing at the entrance to the shop.

The two survivors inside the shop, startled by the noise, one of them gripping an iron rod. When they saw Lin Fan, they too, breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was a zombie.

But even knowing it wasn’t a zombie, they didn’t let down their guard. Survivors these days could be more terrifying than zombies.

"Do you need something?" the man asked.

He eyed the sword-carrying man in front of him, unsure who the newcomer was; sudden appearances were often frightening.
