Chapter 618: Chapter 164: You Dare Take Photos?

Lin Fan gazed at the receding vehicle.

He knew that Ji Qiuyue had a strong character, full of her own opinions and ideas.

A lone wolf by nature, she was someone no one could persuade.

As far as Lin Fan was concerned, he let her be.

Some people prefer a stable life while others are either on an adventure or on their way to one.

Ji Qiuyue was that kind of person.

Looking at the serum sample in his hand, he then stroked Jin Qiu’s head.

"Child, study hard," he said.

His expectations for the children were not high; he only wished for them to do what was right for their age.

And the blood sample Ji Qiuyue gave him, he should deliver it personally to the Dragon Palace base.

It was time to set off.

Although distant, his speed was fast.

...

Salt City, a towering building.

"Peng bro, it feels like I’m dreaming," said a survivor with dyed yellow hair, looking around in shock.

Not just him—every survivor following Zhou Peng was just as astounded.

They went from skeptical to true believers.

Zhou Peng said, "A dream? This isn’t a dream but reality. It’s visible, touchable. This will be your new home, isn’t it hundreds if not thousands of times better than where you lived before?"

"Right, it’s incomparably better."

"Peng bro is still Peng bro, the one I admire the most."

"When I heard that Peng bro unfortunately got killed in the wilderness, I cried with sorrow."

Listening to everyone’s words,

Zhou Peng’s expression was indifferent; he didn’t believe a word these folks said.

"Peng bro, why do zombies seem to be so afraid of you?"

"Yeah, I nearly peed myself seeing the zombies, but our Peng bro was calm and collected, holding his head high as if those zombies were nothing to him, I was dumbfounded."

"Heh, just kidding. Who is Peng bro? Our big brother, what are those zombies to us?"

The flattery was loud and clear.

Zhou Peng replied with a smile, "Ever watched One Piece? Maybe this is my Conqueror’s Haki. You guys won’t be able to feel it, but these zombies certainly can."

The crowd yelled in agreement.

"Right, right, Peng bro is spot on, it’s the Conqueror’s Haki."

"Following Peng bro means we’ll have food to eat."

"Peng bro is the god in my heart, my idol. I won’t respect anyone in my life more than I respect Peng bro."

Zhou Peng raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"You’ve all seen the Zombie Album, it records that Sunshine Shelter in Salt City seems pretty dope, but are we any less cool? No... We are equally awesome, and we will also establish our own shelter, taking in survivors who flee here."

Now, everyone centered around Zhou Peng.

They respected him for his ruthlessness and ferocity. Moreover, they were willing to sing praises because Zhou Peng truly led them to a base, and those zombies avoided him in fear, which seemed utterly unbelievable to them.

"Exactly, Peng bro is right; what’s Sunshine Shelter compared to us? We will follow Peng bro’s lead to establish our own shelter."

"Peng bro is the god in all our hearts."

"From now on, we will follow Peng bro’s commands, charging wherever he points us."

Zhou Peng looked at these flatterers, well aware of their nature—they would say anything to anyone, changing their tune as they pleased.

"Stay here, I’ll go out and find some supplies," Zhou Peng said.

"Peng bro, do you need us to follow?"

"No need."

Zhou Peng turned and left.

They crowded at the window, watching Zhou Peng who had reached the ground floor and was driving away.

The room was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

They looked at each other, at a loss.

"Can we rely on him?"

"Regardless if we can rely on him or not, we’ve already come this far. Do you think there’s a way back?"

"True."

The abilities Zhou Peng displayed seemed fantastical to them. Having seen the Zombie Album, they speculated that Zhou Peng might be an Awakener.

In the past, they had no idea what an Awakener was, but now they did, and while they were envious, what could they do? The Zombie Album did not record how to become an Awakener.

At that moment,

a sedan slowly pulled up in front of a tall building in Salt City, surrounded by countless zombies stumbling about. The zombies, upon seeing the sedan, turned their gray-white eyes to watch, and then shifted their gaze, continuing their mindless wandering.

Zhou Peng looked at this group of zombies with calmness.

Not long ago, he truly feared them.

But now, he moved leisurely through the crowd of the undead, entering the high-rise where someone he had to meet existed, someone who in his heart, was the true god.

As for any Shelter in Salt City,

he didn’t give it a second thought.

...

Dragon Palace base.

Fully armed soldiers watched the surroundings, their expressions grave. Behind them was an important research facility, where each scientist was invaluable.

They couldn’t allow anything to happen to humanity’s last treasure.

Suddenly,

"There’s movement, an unknown target approaching."

As one of the soldiers spotted a figure approaching from afar, tension rose instantly.

Rustling sounds.
