Chapter 468: Chapter 138 The Formation of Corpse Ball_2

"It’s nothing, just passing by and heard some noise, so I came to check it out."

Lin Fan said with a smile. Then, hearing some noise from the minivan, he turned his head to look. It turned out to be a little kid gibbering as he lay against the glass, sucking on his finger, and giggling happily.

The child was only about one or two years old, his bright eyes shining with curiosity about the world.

"Is this your child?" Lin Fan asked.

"Yes, he’s our child."

The man sized up Lin Fan carefully, while tightly gripping the iron rod in his hand, ready to fight for his life if the situation turned bad.

"It’s good to be alive."

Lin Fan sighed.

He could imagine how difficult it was for a group like this to survive in the post-apocalyptic world, and the fact that they had survived until now was truly miraculous.

The woman, who was collecting supplies, stood next to Lin Fan, her haggard expression full of wariness.

Originally, they had taken the child out to the suburbs for a stroll when they encountered zombies, something they were familiar with from zombie movies.

It was truly shocking when the fictional creatures actually appeared before them.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and managed to hide his wife and child in the car, driving the minivan away from the scene. By the time they reached the edge of the city, they found complete chaos, zombies everywhere, citizens being pinned down and torn apart by zombies.

This scene utterly terrified him and his wife.

In the end, surviving in this post-apocalyptic world, they came across survivor groups, but they were refused shelter because they had a child. He understood that it was a necessary measure.

The child was young and couldn’t control its crying, which could easily attract danger.

Perhaps they were truly blessed by heaven, for all their supply scavenging had been with close calls but without incident.

"What exactly do you want?" the man asked.

He remained on guard, as anyone in this situation would be nervous. A stranger suddenly appearing, and armed with a sword at that, was definitely a threat.

"Nothing really, just passing by to have a look. Don’t worry, I’m a good person, with no ill intentions. I hope you’re not nervous," Lin Fan could feel their vigilance towards him and understood it completely.

The man stared at Lin Fan with a strange expression. From their short interaction, he found the stranger’s way of speaking odd and somewhat unrealistic in terms of communication.

In this day and age, who would claim to be a good person, without any ill intentions?

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Fan, and I live in Sunshine District. It’s rather dangerous for you with a child out here. Sunshine District is a shelter, so if you’re considering it, you could live there," Lin Fan said, sensing their desire to keep on living.

"Sunshine District?" The man looked at his wife, "But my wife and I have a child with us."

He suspected that this stranger might have some ulterior motives.

Suddenly,

he thought of a possibility that women were quite important to any shelter, especially since he and his wife had previously encountered a survivor group.

At first, he thought they would unite to fight against the end of the world, but later realized something was wrong—the group was only interested in women.

Thus, he suspected Lin Fan might want to lure them there to take his wife.

"It’s okay, there are many survivors living in Sunshine District, and there are also many children."

Lin Fan knew the man was still suspicious of him.

Of course, he could walk away and think it was their loss for not trusting him. But to him, there was no need to prove a point at the expense of someone else’s regret based on their lives.

Being suspicious is a normal reaction.

Anyone with a bit of sense would have doubts.

"Thank you for your kindness, but our family of three can survive on our own," the man said.

Lin Fan smiled without explaining, instead saying, "Do you see any zombies around here? I believe you’ve seen many zombie corpses on the road on your way here. Those were all cleared by me."

The man exchanged another look with his wife.

A look of shock in their eyes.

They thought to themselves, isn’t this guy exaggerating a bit too much?

"I know you have your doubts about me and might think I have bad intentions toward you, but there’s no need. Take a look at my strength, and I think you’ll understand," Lin Fan said. Then, under their shocked gaze, he lifted the minivan with one hand, leaped into the air, and then landed steadily back on the ground.

He walked into the store.

The man and his wife stood agape, staring at Lin Fan in disbelief. The only thought in their minds was, could a human really do something like this?

Lin Fan knew that to break someone’s doubt and misunderstanding, the best way is for them to see the truth with their own eyes rather than wasting words on futile explanations.

Lin Fan said, "I’m very powerful. If I wanted to harm you, you wouldn’t have the chance to stand in front of me, right?"

Swallowing hard, the man nodded, "Right."

"I still don’t know your names," Lin Fan said with a smile.

"I’m Tao Yu, and this is my wife He Jiali." Tao Yu dropped his guard against Lin Fan. The stranger was right; if he had wanted to harm them, there was no need for deception.

Being able to communicate with the stranger pleased Lin Fan. Indeed, demonstrating one’s own strength proved to be the best way to alleviate suspicion.
