Chapter 617: Chapter 163 Actually, I Always Believed That You Are the True Future of Humanity_6
Lin Fan greeted with a smile, but when he looked at Ji Qiuyue, his eyebrows furrowed slightly. It wasn’t that the other person was a bad person, but there was something off about her scent.
"You must be Lin Fan," Ji Qiuyue said upon seeing the sword Lin Fan carried on his back. That was the Frost Mourner, which was not a secret to the people of the three major bases.
"You know me?"
Lin Fan was quite surprised, not expecting to be recognized.
"My name is Ji Qiuyue."
As she revealed her name,
Lin Fan said excitedly, "You’re the Professor Ji that Professor Xia talked about. I’ve long admired your name. I know about the efforts you’ve made for humanity. I didn’t expect you to come here."
"Please come in."
Now, he wanted to tell Professor Xia that Professor Ji had already arrived at Sunshine Shelter.
"Hehe."
At that moment,
Officer Huang appeared out of nowhere, snarling at Ji Qiuyue and similarly detecting that odd scent. There was wariness, but also some relaxation, as if he could see clearly Ji Qiuyue’s condition.
"Officer Huang, this is Professor Ji, who has been contributing to solving the apocalypse," Lin Fan explained.
Ji Qiuyue was aware of Officer Huang and had heard of a sentient zombie in Huang City. Seeing him now didn’t shock her too much, and she even nodded at Officer Huang.
"Hello, Officer Huang."
Officer Huang watched Ji Qiuyue, his expression somewhat fierce, but that fierceness quickly vanished. He took a few steps back and walked outside.
Lin Fan said with a smile, "Professor Ji, Officer Huang means no harm."
"I know," Ji Qiuyue replied. "This boy is someone I brought back from elsewhere. His name is Jin Qiu. He’s a very pitiful child."
Jin Qiu looked around cautiously. So this was the Sunshine Shelter he had seen in the Zombie Album, truly inhabited by many people, and he also saw many children running around.
Lin Fan approached Jin Qiu, knelt down, and patted his head, "Kid, welcome to Sunshine Shelter. My name is Lin Fan. From now on, this is your home. All the uncles and aunts will like you a lot, and there are plenty of buddies for you to play with. Does that sound good?"
"Yes."
The child was handed over to Guan Hao.
With the arrival of Ji Qiuyue, the base’s scientific researchers all showed up. Seeing Professor Ji alive, they were very excited and agitated.
"Professor Ji, are you leaving already?"
They did not expect that Professor Ji was just dropping off the child and then leaving, which made them anxious to retain her.
Ji Qiuyue said, "Yes, I really need to leave. My own condition is very unstable. Ever since I injected the Lucky Cell, I’ve been different from humans. Now I am out there in pursuit of the truth, which is the only thing I can do now."
Then, she looked at Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, I leave them in your care."
Lin Fan replied, "Don’t worry, Professor Ji, I will do my best to protect everyone. But Professor Ji, I think you could stay here. I will watch over you, and no matter what happens, I’m confident I can handle it."
Ji Qiuyue shook her head. "No, I have my own path and goals. When I met Jin Qiu, I encountered a very strange person named Zhou Peng. He emits a different aura from humans, and I suspect he has some connection to the zombies. I want to pursue the truth. Here, all I can say is I’m sorry."
Hearing what Professor Ji said, Lin Fan added, "Recently, I encountered a talking zombie that called itself a Brain Eater, capable of controlling other zombies."
Ji Qiuyue observed, "It seems to be as I thought. Zombies are not as brainless as we imagine. They might possess intelligence not inferior to humans. I’ve always been worried about this. The appearance of the Awakeners has reclaimed some ground for humanity, but as for the future, I can’t see it clearly."
"Professor Ji, I’m really sorry. If it weren’t for me giving you the Awakener’s blood, you wouldn’t have been injected with the Lucky Cell," Lin Fan apologised.
Ji Qiuyue waved her hand, "It’s all right. This is the inevitable result of progress. Besides, although I have mutated now, I have the ability to hunt zombies. If I can completely eliminate all zombies, even if it turns me into a true monster, I won’t regret it."
Lin Fan made a phone call to Professor Xia.
Upon learning that Qiuyue had arrived at Sunshine Shelter, Professor Xia was very excited.
Lin Fan watched as Ji Qiuyue talked with Professor Xia for several minutes, discussing many things, and finally hung up the phone, it was clear that Ji Qiuyue had convinced Professor Xia.
A moment later.
Ji Qiuyue got up, ready to leave Sunshine Shelter.
She looked at the researchers gathered around her, "Everyone, trust me, don’t continue to research the Lucky Cell. Its result is just like what happened to me, although I can maintain my sanity for the moment, I don’t know what the future holds. I won’t give you my blood sample. Stay here and contribute to human civilization."
"Professor Ji..."
"You’ve worked hard."
The crowd was silent, some with tears in their eyes.
For Professor Ji’s sacrifice, they really didn’t know what to say, a perfectly fine person had been turned into this because of the damn apocalypse.
They had witnessed the ability Professor Ji demonstrated in front of Lin Fan, those sharp claws were not something humans could possess.
Those bloodthirsty, crimson eyes were truly frightening to behold.
At the iron fence.
Ji Qiuyue didn’t let the researchers see her off.
She was having a private conversation with Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, this is my blood sample. If you have a chance, send it to Professor Xia. Ever since Xu was injected with the Lucky Cell, I can’t entrust them with important things. It’s not that they would betray the people, but I’m afraid they’ll follow in my footsteps."
Lin Fan nodded, "I understand, I’ll deliver it to Professor Xia."
Suddenly.
Ji Qiuyue smiled, "Actually, I’ve always believed that you are the real future of humanity. The strength you’ve shown can conquer all zombies. We, on the other hand, are just making minor contributions. I hope you can persevere, as the future of humanity depends on you."
Lin Fan wanted to say something.
But Ji Qiuyue had already gotten into the vehicle.
"Sister..."
The freshly cleaned Jin Qiu ran over, calling out with reluctance in her tone.
Ji Qiuyue said, "Qiuqiu, be strong. I can only bring you this far. Stay here from now on and remember what your sister told you, okay? Study hard at what?"
"At learning," Jin Qiu answered.
"Right, learning. Keep it up."
"Yes."
Jin Qiu nodded her head vigorously.
"Lin Fan, please take care of him for me."
"Rest assured."
