Chapter 673: Chapter 173: I’m Not a Fool, I Will Coax You_4

Lin Fan really hadn’t expected that some of the survivors would actually hide their true selves to appear as good people, deceiving other survivors.

He thought about what Ji Qiuyue had told him earlier.

She mentioned someone who might be connected to zombies, his scent gave me that impression.

Ji Qiuyue, infused with Lucky Cell and also injected with the zombie virus, was developing in an unknown direction, and it was quite normal for some strange abilities to appear during this process.

Zhou Peng took a step back, his eyes wide, looking very wronged, "You can’t frame a good person. How could I, Zhou Peng, be sly and cunning? I’ve painstakingly collected supplies to bring to Xiangshan, and I even have my own base with survivors living there. If you don’t believe me, you can follow me to ask them and see how they judge me."

Then, he looked towards Tan Qing.

"Brother Tan, help me out here. I, Zhou Peng, am a clean and honest person. How did I become a cruel person?"

Zhou Peng appeared very aggrieved.

Seeing Tan Qing’s still cautious gaze, he knew that Tan Qing would probably always side with Lin Fan and would definitely not believe what he said.

Tan Qing firmly said, "We at Xiangshan Base always believe in what Mr. Lin says. We believe Mr. Lin wouldn’t falsely accuse you, because there is nothing about you worth falsely accusing."

He spoke bluntly and simply.

If they were all ordinary people, Tan Qing would find it difficult to speak during such an incident, with both parties potentially accusing each other.

Lin Fan said, "Do you remember Ji Qiuyue and Jin Qiu? She mentioned your scent may have some connection to zombies."

Listening to Lin Fan’s words, Zhou Peng immediately thought of that woman’s appearance and also recognized who Jin Qiu was.

Yet he couldn’t show it.

"Ji Qiuyue? Jin Qiu? I really don’t know them," Zhou Peng shook his head, looking very innocent. Since he was acting, he might as well continue.

To give up halfway would mean real doom.

Lin Fan said, "It’s alright, come with me to Sunshine Shelter. The kid Jin Qiu is there; he’ll recognize you."

Zhou Peng: ...?

At this moment, Zhou Peng really found Lin Fan to be a tough opponent. If it were any other survivor, he would have lost his patience and confronted them directly, admitting, yes, I am Zhou Peng, I had been fooling you all along.

But he dared not now.

Though he had never seen Lin Fan in action, he knew this guy was terrifying, an entity even the Corpse God dreaded, no match for him, especially now when he was essentially powerless.

Zhou Peng did not want to leave with Lin Fan, "I can’t go. My base still needs me. If something happens to me, they won’t be able to make it."

Lin Fan said, "You can tell me the location."

Zhou Peng swallowed hard, his eyes gradually cowardly, looking around as if searching for a chance to escape, displaying such a demeanor.

The other survivors sighed internally.

It was unexpected that Zhou Peng had hidden himself so deeply.

If Lin Fan hadn’t come here to meet him, they might still be in the dark.

Lin Fan said, "Don’t even think about running. Your eyes have betrayed you. You should remember you are human, although you have hurt many people. Don’t you think it’s too much to collaborate with zombies to harm humankind?"

The now cornered Zhou Peng bowed his head, emitting a low, cold chuckle.

"Unexpected... I really got caught by you. I really shouldn’t have come."

"No, your coming here was timely. If you had continued deceiving Tan Qing and the others, I fear they might have fallen for your tricks," Lin Fan said.

Zhou Peng looked at Lin Fan, his previously sincere expression gone, replaced by a sinister look.

"Don’t think you have won, amidst the..."

Just then.

An accident occurred.

Zhou Peng painfully grasped his throat, his pupils filled with blood, his expression increasingly tormented, his abdomen gradually swelling up. Seeing this, Lin Fan didn’t think twice, immediately throwing Zhou Peng up into the sky.

In a brief moment.

Bang!

Zhou Peng actually exploded.

Everyone witnessing this was taken aback, unable to believe what they had just seen.

"What happened to him?" Tan Qing asked in shock.

Lin Fan said, "I have a friend who told me Zhou Peng might be connected to zombies. I think his sudden transformation might be due to a zombie using Zhou Peng to monitor us while also afraid that Zhou Peng would reveal the location, thus silencing him forever."

"Intelligent zombies are terrifying."

Mentioning intelligent zombies, he felt the road ahead was still perilous.

Tan Qing said, "Does that mean there is danger here in the future?"

Lin Fan replied, "Danger always exists; it never goes away. Now that the situation in Salt City has mostly been cleared by me, we need more manpower. Actually, we could start leading everyone there."

Tan Qing looked at Mao Ping, such decisions were often made by Mao Ping.

Mao Ping spoke up, "I agree, although Xiangshan Base is my hard work, I must consider their safety, but it seems a bit impractical to drive so many people there."

Lin Fan said, "No worries, we have military transport there. A few flights should do to transport everyone. I’m going to Salt City right now and will be back later."
