Chapter 620: Chapter 164: You Dare Take Photos?_3

Professor Xia led him through the laboratory while talking about the latest research developments. Up to now, the progress in studying the Lucky Cells had come to a halt, but with Qiuyue’s blood sample arriving, it was possible that the research could advance further down this path.

Lin Fan didn’t spend much time here, instead thinking about returning to Huang City to continue clearing out zombies.

At the entrance.

The Eagle asked, "Is there really no way to become an Awakener on one’s own?"

Lin Fan replied, "Unfortunately, up to now, I still don’t know what exactly causes someone to become an Awakener, but you can pay attention to thunderstorms. Many Awakeners appeared after those."

"Thunderstorms..."

The Eagle pondered this; he truly wanted to become an Awakener. With the continuous development of the apocalypse, he deeply felt his own vulnerability—the zombies were evolving much faster than he had anticipated.

Lin Fan patted The Eagle on the shoulder, "Don’t think too much, just let nature take its course. You’re pretty formidable wearing the War Armor as well."

The Eagle said, "I know, just thinking about it is all."

"I’ll head back first. You can contact me at any time if there’s anything."

Lin Fan bid farewell to The Eagle and then waved goodbye to the group of soldiers steadfast at their posts. For them, defending this place was their mission, even if it meant sacrificing their lives, they would not shrink back.

The Eagle watched Lin Fan’s retreating figure.

Waving his hand.

...

In the wilderness, on the road.

Lin Fan walked alone. He did not leap forward, reaching Huang City at a speed beyond an ordinary person’s capability; rather, he ambled along, observing the state of the outside world.

Most zombies lingered in the cities, surviving based on urban environments.

Inside a sealed car ahead, a zombie was trapped.

As Lin Fan approached, the previously calm zombie instantly became frenzied, pounding on the glass.

Lin Fan helped open the car door, and the zombie inside charged out at once. Lin Fan didn’t draw his sword but casually kicked the zombie away. It seemed his strength exceeded what the body could endure; the flying zombie’s body instantly split in two.

"Zombies hidden in cars are very dangerous."

He could imagine if any survivors were to pass by here, thinking to drive a car away, but failed to notice the zombie inside, it could be dangerous.

So eliminating the danger in its infancy was a wise decision.

He knew that many people, upon encountering such a situation, would choose to look the other way. Matters not concerning oneself are best left alone.

But often, the consequences of involvement were terrifying.

Perhaps one day in the future, someone he knew might be bitten to death by a zombie he had seen but had not eliminated.

Lin Fan quickened his pace, the scenery around him retreating swiftly.

At that moment.

He saw a modified bus coming from a distance. The vehicle looked dirty and messy, coated with much sticky liquid, obviously a vehicle that had been through a fierce battle.

He stood still, waiting.

The survivors on the bus also spotted Lin Fan. Unsure if the sudden appearance was a human or a zombie, they thought about driving past without stopping, but saw the figure by the roadside waving at them.

"There’s a living person, he’s waving at us. Should we stop?"

"Could it be a trap?"

"It shouldn’t be, we can clearly see the surroundings, there’s nowhere to hide people. Moreover, it’s just one person, and we have so many; there’s no need to be afraid."

In the end, the bus slowly pulled up alongside Lin Fan. No one got off, but the driver rolled down the window, observing this survivor before him.

"Are you alone?"

The driver was a middle-aged man, balding.

Lin Fan replied, "Yeah, currently I’m alone. Where are you headed?"

He peered through the window. There weren’t many survivors in the bus, maybe six or seven. Surviving until now must not have been easy.

The driver replied, "We are heading to remote areas. Places with no people are the safest."

They were survivors who had seen how terrifying zombies could be. That fear was deeply ingrained; thus, in their view, the few safe areas that existed were those desolate, uninhabited ones. As for supplies, as long as they were alive, they were sure to find food.

"Remote places, indeed, are good destinations. Do you want to go to Huang City? There’s a Sunshine Shelter there with many people living in it, incredibly safe. Instead of wandering outside and risking danger, why not follow me there?"

Lin Fan was unwilling to let go of any living person.

Upon hearing what Lin Fan said, the driver’s face instantly changed with deep wariness, "What exactly are you after? Do you really not know the situation in the city or are you pretending not to? Huang City has a population of tens of millions, it’s absolutely a zombie nest. You’re telling us to go to Huang City with you; are you out of your mind?"

Lin Fan patiently explained, "I’m aware of the multitude of zombies in the city, but you can rest assured, I’ve been clearing out the zombies in Huang City constantly. By a preliminary estimate, I’ve probably eliminated nearly two million zombies already."

The driver stared at this unfamiliar survivor, dumbfounded, thinking, where did such a lunatic come from?

How had he managed to survive until now?

His mind must have been struck by some significant trauma.

It wasn’t just the driver who thought this way; even the other few survivors in the bus felt the same, looking at Lin Fan as if he were insane.
