Chapter 571: Chapter 156: Never Work Alone When Teamwork Is an Option_2

Just as he finished speaking, Guan Hao realized he had made a fool of himself again. Damn, he had asked such a stupid question.

Sure enough...

Zhong Hanguo looked at Guan Hao strangely, his gaze seemed to say, "How could you ask such a simple yet foolish question? Are you still the Guan Hao I know?"

Facing that clearly meaningful look, Guan Hao blushed, "That’s not what I meant."

Zhong Hanguo patted Guan Hao on the shoulder and said, "I understand."

"I really didn’t mean that."

Zhong Hanguo nodded, "Mhm, I understand."

Guan Hao sighed. Okay, as long as he understands. As for what exactly Zhong Hanguo understood, he had no idea.

Just then.

Guan Hao saw a figure in the distance on the street. Looking closely, it was unmistakably Lin Fan, cloaked in the dusk, the figure gave an indescribable feeling, as if it were the brilliance of the setting sun gradually rising.

Big Brother had always gone out early, and by the time he returned, it was already enveloped by the sunset.

Snapping back to reality.

Guan Hao hurriedly came down from the shop’s rooftop, opened the door, and welcomed Brother Lin’s arrival.

Soon.

Lin Fan entered the shelter and smiled, "Thank you."

Guan Hao said, "Big Brother, there’s no need to be polite with me."

Lin Fan, with his sword on his back, was holding a bag filled to the brim.

Guan Hao saw the full bag and knew Big Brother had a good haul. Considering Big Brother’s capabilities, it was routine. For others, just coming back safely was fortunate,

but in Guan Hao’s eyes, it would be truly strange if Big Brother came back without any gain.

"Zhong Hanguo." Lin Fan waved his hand.

Zhong Hanguo jumped down from the shop’s rooftop and walked towards Lin Fan, grinning broadly, "Today, Dong Jia and I went outside to hunt zombies. It took a long time to find one."

Lin Fan said, "That’s normal. I’ve been working hard to clear the zombies around here. Soon, the number in Huang City will be minimal, and then it’ll be up to you and Zhu Cheng to roam around to catch any that might have slipped through."

"No problem." Zhong Hanguo nodded.

Lin Fan, shaking the bag in his hand, said, "Now, these white crystals are of no use to you guys. Take these, and keep the white crystals for me until a new Awakener appears."

"Mhm, okay."

Zhong Hanguo didn’t stand on ceremony. Their enhancement could lighten the burden on Lin Fan. Although this pressure seemed small, no one here wanted to be a burden.

Night fell.

Lin Fan was talking on the phone with Professor Xia.

"Professor Ji’s signal is still there, right?"

Lin Fan knew that Professor Ji had injected the Lucky Cell into himself, undergone some changes, and had to leave the base while still hoping to leave the research host, so he implanted a locator in his arm.

Professor Xia said, "Yes, it’s still moving. I haven’t continued with the Lucky Cell research, unless I can see Ji Qiuyue’s condition to know which direction to take."

Lin Fan said, "Professor Xia, you must have seen the Zombie Album we sent you."

"I’ve seen it, and it’s been a great help. The only regret is that we don’t have an Awakener here, and the chances of new Awakeners appearing are simply too low now."

When Professor Xia saw the Zombie Album, he immediately treasured it as if it were a classic gem.

Seeing the data on Awakener abilities progressing.

He expressed his regrets.

If there were more Awakeners, that would be wonderful.

Lin Fan said, "Professor Xia, some things can’t be forced. Let’s take it slow. For now, I can only do what’s within my ability, like clearing all the zombies in Huang City."

Professor Xia: ...

He remained silent.

"You’re working so hard." Professor Xia’s mood wasn’t as suffocated as before, mostly because of Lin Fan’s presence, which let him see true hope.

Lin Fan slowly said, "If we can restore the world to how it used to be, these hardships aren’t really burdensome."

Professor Xia listened to Lin Fan’s words.

In his mind, he pictured the scenario of the world reverting to its previous state.

It seemed very difficult.

The loss of population, the death of countless people. Perhaps saving one city would already be an achievement.

"Lin Fan, I’m planning to have the people from Galaxy Base and Desert Base come your way first. Their research can conclude for now. We don’t need too many bases anymore, having Dragon Palace Base is enough."

This was something Professor Xia had considered deeply.

Lin Fan had brought up this matter not long ago.

He pondered no rush, no rush, maybe keep researching to see, but now the research had hit a bottleneck without clarification on the Lucky Cell, making it tough to progress.

"Okay, I’ll have them picked up tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone.

Lin Fan, looking up at the ceiling.

"Professor Xia sounded calm, but I could sense that he was exhausted, really weary."

His emotions pressed down inside, even if he didn’t want others to know, it still hinted through his tone.

Early morning.

Dong Jia, Zhu Cheng, Zhong Hanguo, and Ye Qian, four Awakeners, along with over a dozen fully armed soldiers, boarded the transport plane.

Their mission was to pick up the experts from Galaxy Base and Desert Base.

Those places were located in remote areas.

Zombies were scarce.

Evolutionary Zombies even less so.

"Wow, this is the military transport plane, it’s huge," Zhu Cheng exclaimed excitedly, his eyes sparkling, "If I’m not mistaken, this must be the Y-20."
