Chapter 496: Chapter 142 You are the Hope of All Our Survivors_6

Niu Zhi had never thought things would turn out like this.

Ever since he was able to control zombies, he had lived amongst the shock and worship in the eyes of other survivors.

He was very proud.

There was an indescribable exhilaration.

But who could have imagined that something like this would happen?

As the truck drove away.

Yang Rong said to the group, "See, that’s Lin Fan. Don’t be afraid of the apocalypse, hope is always flickering with light, we shouldn’t be confused about the future, okay?"

"We know."

"Is he still human?"

"Nonsense, of course, he is, he’s just very powerful, didn’t you hear what Brother Lin said? Awakener, Brother Lin must be a very powerful Awakener. To him, other Awakeners are probably just kids."

Listening to what the group was saying.

Yang Rong laughed.

Hope often lies in witnessing the performance of others.

Look... He saw that there was light shining in the eyes of these people, the light that spoke of hope for the future.

Inside the truck.

It was very silent.

The man drove the vehicle, his hands clutching the steering wheel trembling slightly. The woman beside him was even more so, her swallowing audible.

As for Niu Zhi, his face looked terrified as he stared forward. The hand resting on his shoulder had a very real warmth to it; this wasn’t a dream, this was really happening.

"Where is your shelter?" Lin Fan asked gently, despite the fact that he was going to take them to Officer Huang, he was just an ordinary citizen after all, and certainly wouldn’t get rough with them without good reason.

"At... near Huanghua Road."

"Oh."

Lin Fan nodded his head, "Hey, it’s sad to see someone so young walking down this path. I told you before, your parents must be heartbroken."

"My parents got divorced, I wasn’t taught by anyone."

"Then how did you survive?"

"My grandma raised me."

"And your grandma?"

"She was... she was angered to death by me."

Niu Zhi stuttered out, he had been involved in all kinds of petty crimes, had even slashed someone with a knife at the age of fourteen, and was arrested. His grandmother who was over seventy, was literally angered to death by him.

"You really are unfilial."

Lin Fan shook his head, finding it hard to feel sympathy for Niu Zhi. Of course, divorce and a lack of education might be reasons he turned out bad, but that is certainly no excuse. After all, some people don’t even have grandmothers and still grow up to be pillars of the state, relying on self-reliance and a never-say-die spirit.

"Big brother, please let me go, I’m only sixteen, just a kid, I’m not even an adult yet."

"Sixteen is not that young."

"Really, it’s young."

"Heh."

Lin Fan laughed but said nothing, he could sense that Niu Zhi had been hardened by the apocalypse, surely having done many bad things.

At this moment, Niu Zhi’s mind was in chaos with many thoughts. He was considering how to escape, where to run, or maybe controlling zombies to surround the truck?

"Stop the car."

Lin Fan spoke.

The tires rubbed against the ground.

He hadn’t expected to meet Officer Huang here, saving him a trip to the police station.

"Get out of the car."

Lin Fan opened the car door, dragging them out, while Officer Huang, who had heard the noise, also turned his head, looking at the figure that had appeared. When he saw Lin Fan, there seemed to be a faint glint in Officer Huang’s eyes.

But Lin Fan didn’t catch that look.

Niu Zhi looked at the zombies ahead, an idea suddenly flashing through his mind, along with a touch of helplessness. Where the hell had all the surrounding zombies gone? Couldn’t more of them appear?

His plan was simple: to control the zombies to fight desperately against Lin Fan while he took the opportunity to run away. He even thought about controlling the zombies to bite the other two survivors and turn them into zombies, which would give him an even better chance.

"Move." Lin Fan pushed Niu Zhi’s back.

As Niu Zhi looked at Officer Huang, even though he didn’t understand what Lin Fan meant, he didn’t care anymore. He began to control the zombies in front of him, planning to turn the two people next to him into zombies once he managed to take control.

He naturally knew this guy was strong; three zombies definitely wouldn’t stop him, but as long as he could create time for himself to escape, that was enough.

"Damn..."

Niu Zhi was shocked to discover that he couldn’t control the zombie. How was that possible? He had never failed before. This was just an ordinary zombie, not one of those freakish ones.

"Officer Huang, I’ve caught three people filled with sin. Look at his forehead; he even has the Heavenly Eye tattooed. He must be a gangster," said Lin Fan to Officer Huang.

Upon hearing this, Niu Zhi was completely stunned; it was as if he had never expected Lin Fan to converse with a zombie.

What the hell.

While he was lost in his wild thoughts, a terrifying scene unfolded. The zombie approached the other two survivors as if sniffing their scent, and then, under his terrified gaze, the zombie tore into one of the survivors.

"Ah..."

There was a scream.

"Big brother, I was wrong, let me go, please don’t!" The desiccated blonde female survivor had been scared into tears, begging for mercy.

Lin Fan wouldn’t interrupt Officer Huang’s action.

Only Officer Huang could punish them.

Niu Zhi was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, looking at Lin Fan with eyes that pleaded for mercy, begging him internally not to do this, expressing his genuine fear.

Faced with such a plea, Lin Fan remained indifferent, completely unconcerned.

"Officer Huang is a very upright officer. He won’t let any criminal go unpunished, but will also not falsely accuse any innocent person," Lin Fan said.

At that moment, Officer Huang stared at Niu Zhi, and under Niu Zhi’s desperate control attempts, Officer Huang suddenly pounced on him, opening his bloody mouth, and started tearing into him.

"Ah... help me!" screamed Niu Zhi.

He was an Awakener, capable of being immune to the zombie’s toxin and not turning into a zombie, so death came horribly. The pain was unimaginable.

Lin Fan watched intently; this was a lesson for the man and a warning to others: do not commit evil deeds, or Officer Huang’s punishment would be severe.

Eventually, the screams faded away.

Officer Huang slowly stood up, giving Lin Fan a nod as if to signal something.

"Officer Huang, you eliminated an Awakener, and there’s no reaction?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

Last time Officer Huang eliminated an Awakener, there was a change in him.

Sure enough.

As Lin Fan spoke these words.

Officer Huang’s body suddenly trembled intensely, the veins on the surface bulging as if a monumental transformation was taking place within him.

"I knew it, how could there not be something happening," said Lin Fan with a smile.

He was hoping to see Officer Huang become stronger. Only if Officer Huang became stronger could he, a mere citizen, continue to live safely in Huanghua Road.

"Go for it, Officer Huang."

"You are the hope of all us survivors."
