Chapter 642: Chapter 168: If It Weren’t for Fear of Disturbing the Children’s Rest, I’d Really Like to Play with You_3

Ever since Lin Fan resolved the crisis at Xiangshan Sanctuary, the survivors living there had been brimming with endless hope for the future, their daily lives became more positive and active, no longer listless and confused as before.

Such is the power of faith.

In their time of helplessness, a figure like a deity continuously imprinted itself in their hearts, this presence was very important; in the apocalyptic world, it often served as a button that connected all the living survivors.

No matter whether these survivors were selfish or had low self-esteem, because of this button, they would harbor hope for the future.

"Not so?" Zhou Peng asked in surprise, "Then how did this come about?"

Tan Qing looked at Zhou Peng, smiled, and pointed to Xu Ming beside him, "He knows."

"I know?" Xu Ming was baffled by what Tan Qing said, completely confused. He had never been here before, how could he possibly know?

Following that,

he seemed to think of something, his face flushed with excitement, "Brother Tan, are you perhaps talking about him?"

Tan Qing smiled, "Yes, you guessed right. If you safely reach Sunshine Shelter, things will turn out just as you think, he will take you back to where you started from. He’s the hope in everyone’s heart in the apocalypse, just like the fierce sun, hanging high in the sky, everyone looks up and can feel the warmth permeating their hearts."

Zhou Peng thought about it, instantly recalling the content recorded in the "Zombie Album."

"Are you talking about Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter in Huang City, who caused this hole?"

He turned to look at the crater no human could have created, then his eyes revealed a look of expectation as he silently watched Tan Qing, just to see Tan Qing nod his head.

"You guessed right, this crater was caused by him."

Tan Qing was very decisive in his admission.

"Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter is the hope of all survivors. Like many others, I too was once perplexed, but now, that perplexity is completely gone, replaced by hope."

He did not hide Lin Fan’s existence, intending to let everyone know that the apocalypse had not reached the dire state they might imagine. The brief lawlessness might make you think no one is in control.

But if you encounter Lin Fan, then you will pay a price for your actions.

At that moment, Zhou Peng fell into deep thought.

Was this huge crater man-made?

Just how powerful could Lin Fan be, his awakening stage must be extremely high, which was not good news for Zhou Peng, he had to report this to Corpse God.

"Come on, let’s go in," Tan Qing invited everyone into Xiangshan Sanctuary.

During the conversation, Zhou Peng learned that there were eleven Awakeners in Xiangshan Sanctuary, which excited him internally; previously, encountering even one Awakener was difficult.

Unexpectedly, so many had gathered here.

Of course, he could not just capture these Awakeners outright—not to mention whether it was possible but considering what they had just said about Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter being connected to them, it was worth pondering.

First, foster relationships, gradually build trust.

Mao Ping, learning of other sanctuary’s visitors, naturally came out to greet them personally.

Upon meeting,

"Hello." Mao Ping greeted with a beaming smile.

Zhou Peng responded, "Hello."

After brief exchanges, Zhou Peng learned that the man in front of him, Mao Ping, was the owner of Xiangshan Film and Television City, not an Awakener, just a middle-aged man incapable of fighting.

The fact that the eleven Awakeners hadn’t taken over indicated that the system here was better than he imagined.

Zhou Peng observed the survivors living there, not seeing the face of despair but instead, one of hopefulness toward life.

"Mr. Mao, are all your supplies found from outside?" Zhou Peng asked.

Mao Ping replied, "Yes, we collect supplies from outside."

Zhou Peng said, "Mr. Mao, we are all surviving humans, we should help each other. Luckily, my ability has a natural advantage in collecting supplies. Once I go back, I will send a few trucks of supplies here, hoping that our two shelters can interact more in the future."

Mao Ping was very pleased, "Thank you, you’re right. Now that we’re few left, if we do not unite, it really isn’t right."

Zhou Peng sipped his tea, sighing, "Exactly, that’s what I thought too. The apocalyptic situation is truly terrible. I used to think that my shelter was one of the few left; unexpectedly, Xiangshan is so close by. We should indeed interact more frequently."

He was actually planning to trap the eleven Awakeners and deliver them to Corpse God.

Given their current relationship,

He hadn’t thought of a way yet, but these things were not urgent, slowly will do. Opportunities often come to those who are prepared, and I, Zhou Peng, with a clear and intelligent mind, will surely seize them."

"Mr. Mao, I’m very curious about that deep crater outside, could you tell me about it in detail? I know it was caused by Lin Fan, but it’s a pity I have never seen it with my own eyes," Zhou Peng said.

Zhou Peng just wanted to understand more clearly. Tan Qing said what he said, but it was somewhat vague, had a Picasso-esque feel to it—you can understand it when listening, but it’s a bit difficult to form a picture in your mind when thinking about it.

Mao Ping thought about it and slowly said, "To talk about that, we have to start from the recent zombie tide. At that time, Xiangshan Sanctuary encountered an attack by a zombie horde, the number of zombies was simply enormous. If it wasn’t for Lin Fan’s rescue, our place would have been eradicated by the zombies long ago."
