Chapter 635: Chapter 166 Do you know how desperate I was then?_6

"The internet is connected."

Lin Fan clicked in, selected the country, was ready, and instantly began.

Right after that,

he seemed to hear an excited voice coming from the living room outside.

"Brother Lin, join my room, let’s charge."

That’s how video games are, they’re fun with more people. Single-player is boring, which is why many people in their twenties and thirties increasingly dislike going to internet cafes.

It’s because they are always alone at the internet cafe, lonely, isolated, and bored. If it were still like the old days, when four or five people would stay up all night together, they could still do it.

That night, filled with laughter and joy, Lin Fan also stayed up very late.

...

Early morning.

Salt City.

Shelter.

Three survivors huddled together for warmth, constantly thinking of ways to escape. They firmly believed that Wang Fei had been killed, and this place was not as they had imagined.

But the guys here were always watching them.

Just then,

they heard a noise outside.

They saw a jeep stopping at the door, with two unfamiliar survivors arriving, a man and a woman, both looking exhausted, obviously also oppressed by zombies.

For those three survivors, was this place really that good? We just arrived the day before yesterday, and yet people are still coming.

Look... those frightening survivors put on amiable smiles again, all deceptive.

Zhou Peng personally welcomed them, slightly regretful.

The two newcomers were not Awakeners.

But... among them was a female survivor, which, it must be said, was also a gain.

Just then,

the three survivors desperate to leave burst out.

"Don’t trust them, they are not good people, run away!"

The sudden shout scared the two survivors just getting out of the car, instantly crystallizing, as if they hadn’t expected this situation at all.

Zhou Peng’s expression remained calm, not angry, nor did he seem like a conspiracy had been uncovered because these three burst out.

He spread his hands and said, "Don’t be nervous, misunderstandings often exist. I, Zhou Peng, am willing to shelter you because we are all humans, all compatriots, and suspicion is normal. Whoever doesn’t want to stay, I definitely won’t force them to stay. Here, you can come and go freely."

The three survivors rushed to the door.

"Are you sure you want to leave?" asked Zhou Peng regretfully.

"Yes, what exactly did you do with Wang Fei?"

Zhou Peng said, "Everything I’ve said is true. Wang Fei really left. He told me his girlfriend is in Huang City; he wants to go there to see if she is still there. You are so familiar with Wang Fei; you should know whether I’m telling the truth or not."

The three survivors heard this.

They obviously hesitated.

Indeed, they had heard from Wang Fei that his girlfriend was in Huang City, but at the beginning of the apocalypse, he had sent her a message with no replies, and he guessed she might have met with disaster.

Zhou Peng continued, "I have no reason to deceive you. Plus, think about it, what benefit do I get from deceiving you? What good is Wang Fei to me that I should harm him?"

The three survivors looked at each other, still unsure whether the other party was telling the truth.

Even the two newly arrived survivors realized that things might be different from what they had expected.

"How are we supposed to know whether what you say is true or false?" one of the survivors said.

Zhou Peng sighed, shaking his head, "Well, the most worrying thing in the apocalypse is the distrust among companions. I, Zhou Peng, definitely won’t coerce anyone. I’ll give you a vehicle and enough supplies. You can go wherever you want."

"Trust is the key to fighting the apocalypse together. I don’t want my companions to be constantly on guard against me, only for it to lead to disaster when danger arrives, causing everyone to perish."

As he finished saying this,

the three survivors exchanged glances, each with a slightly different thought.

"Big Brother Zhou, I misunderstood, my apologies."

"I’ll listen to you."

"I want to leave."

The last survivor thought things over but couldn’t shake his unease. Then, looking at his two companions, he said, "Come with me. Since there’s doubt, let’s not force ourselves to stay."

Zhou Peng didn’t speak but had someone else gather supplies for them. Soon enough, enough supplies were laid out in front of them, and a set of car keys was also handed over.

"If you want to leave, I won’t hold you back. Here are the car keys. The tank is full, and there are enough supplies to last you half a month. I wish you good luck."

Zhou Peng pretended to shake his head in regret.

The other two survivors who wanted to stay had their suspicions about Zhou Peng vanish at that moment. They tried to persuade their companion not to leave, saying the outside was full of zombies and to trust that Zhou would not harm us.

The survivor who wanted to leave took the keys and the supplies. "Thanks."

He knew the other two had decided to stay.

So saying more was useless.

Zhou Peng then turned to the other two survivors who had just arrived, "If you want to leave too, I will still provide you with enough supplies. We are all compatriots, and helping each other is the right thing to do."

One male and one female survivor felt this stranger might genuinely be a good person, especially since the man who wanted to leave had really driven off.

The others didn’t even try to stop him.

"We’ll stay."

Zhou Peng smiled, "Welcome to the Salt City shelter. I hope we can unite and work together to develop the shelter and improve our lives."

"Great."

"That’s what I’m thinking too."

The male and female survivors said excitedly.

The other two survivors said, "Big Brother Zhou, we are truly sorry. We doubted you the entire time. We hope you can forgive us."

Zhou Peng patted their shoulders, saying, "It’s okay. Anyone would have doubted. After all, when Wang Fei left, I should have had him say goodbye, which might have prevented this misunderstanding."

Afterward, Zhou Peng looked into the distance, sighing.

"I hope that young man has good luck."

In the distance,

the young man driving away from the Salt City shelter kept thinking about the situation.

"There must be a problem, definitely a problem. It’s just that the other party appeared too genuine."

He watched the roads on both sides, very alert to his surroundings.

Even driving felt very dangerous.

He wondered whether they really let him leave just like that.

Thinking, he shook his head.

He was already driving away, so even if they wanted to stop him, it was impossible now.

Looking at the supplies in the back of the car, his face broke into a smile. This should be enough for quite some time.

But...

Bang!

A loud booming sound.

The car that was just driving was instantly flattened.

A tyrant jumped down from a rooftop, crushing the car. Its razor-sharp scythe pierced through the roof directly into the car, splattering the windows with bright red blood.
