Chapter 550: Chapter 152: Light Saber Transformation? No... That is the Silhouette of a God!_5

Reception hall.

Mao Ping was introducing the eleven Awakeners in the base to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan nodded at them.

He hadn’t expected there to be eleven Awakeners here, even more than in their Sunshine Shelter.

And he noticed that several of them were quite formidable, though the majority of their abilities seemed to be strength-based Awakeners—which was good, as strength-related abilities belonged to close combat, which could better deal with zombies.

Lin Fan was very curious. He was still wondering how the Zombie Album had made it here. Could it be that a survivor from Huang City had left and come to Xiangshan Base?

Indeed, it was just as he had thought.

He looked at Zhou Zhou in front of him; it was this youth who had brought the Zombie Album here.

"When did your base start to form?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

Mao Ping replied, "At the very beginning of the apocalypse, my daughter and I were already here. Then survivors from the surrounding areas started arriving, and we let them in. Gradually, the base developed to what it is now, with several thousand people. Fortunately, Xiangshan Film and Television City Base had a wall, otherwise I really don’t know where we could have taken shelter."

Initially, when he built this film and television city, it was because costume dramas were quite popular, and he thought creating one would definitely make money. He never imagined that the film and television city would end up saving his life.

Lin Fan nodded, "That’s quite good. I’m happy to see that you are alive. There is also no small number of survivors in Huang City. Everyone is striving to survive in the apocalypse. We’ve just cleared out the last Spiritual Zombie, and the surrounding zombies have been cleaned up as well. It’s unlikely that the events of before will happen again."

Standing next to Mao Ping, Tan Qing had many things she wanted to say. After thinking it over, she stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Lin, if I may ask, does your strength come from crystals?"

"You know about the role of crystals, right?" Lin Fan asked in return.

"Yes, we started experimenting with them even before we saw the Zombie Album," Tan Qing said.

Lin Fan replied, "Crystals can enhance one’s strength, and my situation is a bit special; it’s a bit difficult to explain, but it’s not much different from what you’re thinking."

Hearing this,

Tan Qing mulled it over; she could confirm that the strength enhancement came from the crystals, but the mention of it being ’a bit special’ could mean there’s some unique situation. This was quite normal; after the emergence of Awakened abilities, some things could no longer be approached with simple thinking.

The other Awakeners also had questions.

"Mr. Lin, how many types of Awakener abilities are there?"

Lin Fan shook his head, "I’m not too sure. The abilities recorded in the Zombie Album are the ones I’ve encountered, but there are many I haven’t come across, such as your ability—your saliva and blood have corrosive properties."

The Awakener with corrosive abilities was quite troubled, even feeling like crying. His ability was quite useless; he couldn’t do anything substantial and could only watch helplessly.

For instance, during the recent zombie horde siege, he was stirring the zombies with an iron rod while spitting, trying to corrode the zombies’ heads, but to little effect.

Worse yet, he had to remain a bachelor for life.

Kissing was out of the question.

And sex was even more impossible.

If he wanted to see a girl turned to bones, maybe he could give it a try.

Another Awakener asked,

"Mr. Lin, the zombies evolve so quickly, how do we deal with the hybrid zombies you mentioned if we encounter them?"

"Read the content I’ve written carefully. Some zombies are beyond your ability to handle; don’t force it. If you can avoid them, do so. If you get the chance, notify me, and I’ll take care of it for you."

...

Faced with these questions from the Awakeners, Lin Fan explained at a leisurely pace.

Their questions were very simple.

Most of the information could be found in the Zombie Album.

Yet they still asked them.

Did Lin Fan find it bothersome?

No.

He wasn’t the least bit annoyed.

To them, hearing it from him was more memorable than reading from the Zombie Album.

As long as these words could make the Awakeners aware of the dangers of zombies and possibly save their lives, he felt it was well worth it.

The group of Awakeners, listening to Lin Fan’s words, all nodded silently; it seemed they needed to take a serious look at the Zombie Album, memorize the content, and remember the appearance of the zombies.

Zhou Zhou looked at Lin Fan the whole time, his eyes gleaming with adoration.

For a young person like him, the scene he had just witnessed was something he would never forget.

Not in this lifetime.

Lin Fan knew that Zhou Zhou was the one who had picked up the Zombie Album, and asked curiously, "When you first found it, why didn’t you think to come to Sunshine District?"

Zhou Zhou scratched his head, a bit helplessly saying, "No one took me seriously."

Lin Fan: ...?

Alright then, that reason was valid.

They looked at Zhou Zhou, and then at the group of survivors who had brought Zhou Zhou here. If they knew that Huang City had the safest shelter and yet chose to struggle and take risks to come to Xiangshan, they would definitely be dumbfounded.

At that moment,

Mao Jingjing walked toward the entrance and took over a bag from a survivor, bringing it over to Lin Fan.

"This is the crystal from the Evolutionary Zombie that was outside just now. I had someone collect it for you," she said.

Seeing a full bag of crystals, no one could pretend they didn’t want it. Crystals were valuable commodities, the most important items for Awakeners.

Did Mao Jingjing want these crystals?

Of course, she did.

So many crystals could be used to enhance the powers of Awakeners, which would offer absolute improvement in the safety of Xiangshan, providing a greater guarantee. It was just that these zombies were hunted by someone else.
