Chapter 693: Chapter 176 Humble, Bowing, I’m Sorry_6

Li Long, "What booklet?"

The man in black, "Forget it, just keep fooling those young and strong survivors. You are an Awakener after all, and the crystals can make you stronger. We have a lot of those powerful crystals at our place."

Li Long, "I always feel like you guys are hiding something from me."

He truly felt that this mysterious organization seemed to have Divine Skills.

They knew a lot of things he didn’t.

They just weren’t so willing to share.

...

The next day!

Lin Fan was clearing out zombies in Huang City as usual, with the end of them in sight. From the decreasing number of Evolutionary Zombies, it was evident that they were becoming sparse—even the Evolutionary Zombies he encountered were very ordinary.

In other words, "I am in the midst of fierce evolution, and you bloody just kill me straight away, not giving us any chance to evolve into a stronger stage."

"Good morning."

Lin Fan greeted the solitary zombie.

It had been a long time since he had encountered an ordinary zombie acting alone.

"Heh heh"

The stumbling ordinary zombie, upon seeing such a brazen human, instantly became ferocious and, without a second thought, charged at Lin Fan, wishing it could tear the human before it into pieces.

"So irritable."

Lin Fan shook his head in regret. He couldn’t even be bothered to draw out Frost’s Sorrow and simply flicked his toe downward from above, splitting the zombie into two halves from several meters away.

Just then, his ear twitched slightly.

Rat-tat-tat-tat...

"The roar of gunfire?"

Lin Fan’s ears were very sharp, able to pick up distant sounds, especially sensitive to gunfire.

He reckoned if there was gunshots, it meant that there were living people firing.

In the distance.

"Did we really make a mistake? How could there be a shelter in such a city?"

Zhang Hao, holding a gun, fired at the zombies blocking the bus, crossing the bridge into Huang City territory. Who could have expected there to be more zombies around than they had thought?

Now they had no way back.

Not long after crossing the bridge, a Powerful Zombie started stalking them from behind. They couldn’t go back, only forward, and soon they were besieged by zombies.

Mo Lan felt desperate about the situation. There were just too many zombies. On reflection, setting up a shelter in the city would be extremely difficult; one would likely have to face constant zombie attacks.

"Perhaps we really trusted the wrong information."

She clearly felt the bus losing power.

The number of zombies was overwhelming, creating resistance, making it difficult for the bus to move forward.

"Out of bullets."

Zhang Hao pulled the trigger only to find it empty, not a single bullet left.

Luckily, the bus was tall enough that ordinary zombies couldn’t reach it, and the windows were secured with iron grates, which the unintelligent zombies couldn’t dismantle. For the moment, they were safe.

He quickly looked back, noticing the Powerful Zombie was still pursuing them. Though it was slow, if the bus were to be fully stopped by ordinary zombies, it would surely be caught up to.

The bus could withstand ordinary zombies.

But it definitely couldn’t withstand the Powerful Zombie.

More and more ordinary zombies were swept under the bus, causing it to jolt continuously. As it advanced, they could hear the crunching sound of the zombies’ bones being crushed.

"Mo Lan, can we break out?"

"It’s... wait, what’s that?"

Mo Lan was about to say it was difficult, but just as she uttered a ’very’, she opened her mouth, her eyes fixated dead ahead. In her line of sight, a figure was actually walking towards them.

Zhang Hao, who was already holding a weapon and ready to fight the zombies at any moment, heard Mo Lan’s voice and looked curiously towards the front as well.

The moment they first saw it.

They both displayed a look of shock.

There was actually someone approaching.

The person was young and carrying a sword on their back.

What happened next was even more astonishing, making them gape in disbelief. They saw the stranger shout something at them, and then the zombies surrounding them, upon hearing the noise, immediately left them and charged towards the mysterious young man.

When they thought the man was about to be sadly overpowered by the zombies.

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

With a swing of his sword, the zombies crowded in the street were instantly torn in half.

They rubbed their eyes, feeling like they must be seeing things, but no matter how much they rubbed, when they opened their eyes again, the same scenes were still unfolding before them.

It was really... unbelievable yet real.

Lin Fan was equally shocked when he saw the bus. Just what was going through the driver’s mind? There were many safe routes in Huang City; why did they have to take one that he had not cleared yet?

Wasn’t this asking for trouble?

Fortunately, the area he hadn’t cleared was small and the sound of gunfire was loud, and his ears were very sensitive. Hearing something amiss, he hurried over.

Otherwise, with the current situation, ordinary zombies might not have been able to break into the bus so quickly, but that Powerful Zombie behind could easily punch a huge hole in the bus with just a few furious bangs.

And then drag them out from inside the bus.

Lin Fan quickly cleared the zombies in the vicinity and then walked to the front of the stopped bus, waving his hand at the driver to signal they could get off.

Mo Lan and Zhang Hao stepped off the bus, dazed, and when facing Lin Fan, they were a bit restrained and a bit fearful.

"Hello... hello."

They dared not speak too loudly, fearing that a loud voice might cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

They had never seen such a formidable survivor before.

"Hello, my name is Lin Fan. What are your names?"

Lin Fan’s tone was very gentle. The two strangers were clearly frightened, so he could only soothe them with his mild voice.

Hoping they would relax.

And not be too tense.

"My name is Mo Lan, and his name is Zhang Hao."

"Oh, how come you took this route? I haven’t cleared the zombies here, the other roads are very safe. It’s lucky I arrived in time, otherwise it would have been very dangerous."

Mo Lan was very humble, carefully apologizing, "I’m sorry, we are not locals in Huang City and are not very familiar with the environment here. By the time we realized we’d taken the wrong path, it was too late to turn back; there were giant zombies chasing us."

"Oh, I can understand. I’m not blaming you, don’t be too nervous," Lin Fan said softly.

Mo Lan and Zhang Hao exchanged glances, then as if they had reached some agreement,

both of them bowed deeply to Lin Fan, their attitude sincere.

"We are truly sorry."

Lin Fan: ...?

He had a feeling these two might have been so frightened by the zombies that they were experiencing some kind of psychological trauma.

Ah well.

This was going to be complicated.

Consoling them about psychological issues might take some time.

Hopefully, the warm life to come would help them recover.
