Chapter 528: Chapter 149: Xiangshan Film and Television City Shelter

Drip, drip...

The vehicle in motion suddenly stopped.

Qiuyue passed out and fell onto the steering wheel, the horn blaring incessantly, its piercing sounds spreading around. In the far-off darkness, several staggering zombies wandered.

As the grating sound of the horn reached them.

The staggering, dazed zombies seemed as if they had been trapped in the desert for ages, and a bottle of Wahaha mineral water had surged into their bodies, chilling to the core and instantly restoring all their strength. They roared ferociously, racing toward the source of the sound.

Early morning.

Lin Fan received a call from Professor Xia.

"Raining?" Lin Fan looked outside at the street. "No, there’s no rain here in Yellow City. The weather is fine and the air is fresh. Professor Xia, do you ask because something happened?"

"Lin Fan, you’ve mentioned to me before that after a thunderstorm, new Awakeners emerge or zombies undergo evolution, right?"

Professor Xia on the phone was eager to know. Being a professor, he could have done the research himself, but he was asking Lin Fan, who knew nothing about science.

Perhaps this was a case of a doctor not being able to heal themselves.

Lin Fan could detect an undertone in Professor Xia’s voice, a hope to get a confirmation from him.

He didn’t speak immediately.

Instead, he pondered.

Some lies might be well-intentioned, but if they’re related to the truth, then even a well-intentioned lie could bring unimaginable disaster.

Thinking of all the events that had happened, combined with what everyone had told him about the timing of their awakening abilities.

"Professor Xia, yes, you’re right. I once thought thunderstorms were just that, but now I think they might be an opportunity for evolution," said Lin Fan.

There was silence on Professor Xia’s end, and after a moment, a sigh came through.

"We’ve had a bit of trouble here..."

He told Lin Fan about Qiuyue and the Lucky Cell, something dangerous and enigmatic, that even he was powerless against and could only watch unfold without a solution.

Listening to what Professor Xia had said.

Lin Fan was at a loss for how to reply.

He knew that the three major bases were desperately researching, even ready to sacrifice lives for it. Yet when the information was revealed, it was a distressing and sad matter for anyone.

"Ah, Professor Xia, maybe you should stop researching," Lin Fan thought for a while and slowly suggested.

Professor Xia didn’t respond.

Lin Fan continued, "You research these things to discover the truth through science, but it’s too dangerous. In my opinion, it would be better to focus on developing War Armor. If possible, consider moving the equipment to Yellow City. The vast shelter has been completed, and we need your help there."

"Understood," said Professor Xia.

Lin Fan, thinking about the Lucky Cells mentioned by Professor Xia, also thought of many movies where mutated species often appeared and could be called monsters.

It was very likely that the Lucky Cells they were researching were the source of these aberrant monsters.

He hung up the phone.

Standing on the balcony, he looked up at the sky. The bright sky seemed beautiful, but terrible things were still happening elsewhere.

"Good day, elders."

He went downstairs and greeted the old men as usual, starting his regular life.

There was a bit more to do today.

The scope of the shelter had expanded, marking significant development. The expansion of the territory and the overall distribution of people were managed by Han Shuang, the chief leader, with Wang Kai cooperating with her.

Life in the shelter was carefree for everyone.

They were also shining bright, bringing comprehensive changes to the shelter.

Stepping out of the compound gate.

He looked up.

Hang Ge and his crew continued to patrol the distant rooftops.

Han Shuang, Wen Jie, Xu Zeyang, and Wang Kai were busy. They organized survivors to push carts filled with soil, which they methodically piled up. The shelter now needed a more comprehensive classification than before. No longer could they plant in one area and another without order—it looked too messy.

Lin Fan approached Han Shuang.

"Where did the Steel Beast go?"

That was a prized possession of Han Shuang’s team, a fortified vehicle that they depended on when going out. It could ram anything; anything in its way was out of luck.

Han Shuang replied, "Old Mao took Zhu Cheng, Dong Jia, Ye Qian, and Old Zhong out to find zombies for combat practice."

She was a bit envious of the Awakeners. Who wouldn’t want to turn into a superhero on the spot and hack away at zombies? It felt exhilarating, but she had to accept taking a back seat. After all, the Awakeners practiced combat against zombies to gain experience, which would be very beneficial to the shelter in the long run.

"They’re really diligent."

Lin Fan found that ever since they learned that crystals could enhance strength, their enthusiasm had been actively stirred up.

In his view, Dong Jia probably got a rush from her first zombie kill and always wanted to go out for more, just like men can get addicted to taking showers.

What a strange analogy.

...

In the city.

On an uncleaned street, there were still staggering zombies wandering.

A cold glint flashed.

Schlick!

Schlick!

The zombies that had been staggering in the street just a moment ago were struck with unimaginable damage. They dropped to the ground instantly. If you looked closely, you could see that this group of zombies had been bisected at the waist, the wounds clean and smooth.

"The previous speed was a bit slow; I need to be faster," he said to himself.

He looked behind at the hunted zombie corpses.

Opening his bag, he checked the number of crystals inside.

After setting out, he had already harvested ten crystals, nine White Crystals and one Black Crystal.
