Chapter 694: Chapter 177: I promise to turn over a new leaf and become a better person in front of Officer Huang

"Sun Neng? It’s a name I’m not familiar with, never heard of before."

Lin Fan shook his head, pondering the names they mentioned, which indeed sounded unfamiliar. They must have seen the ’Zombie Album,’ which is why they knew about the situation in Huang City.

But why would someone, knowing about the existence of Sunshine Shelter in Huang City, still choose to act alone?

Perhaps that’s just the way each person thinks uniquely.

People are different from one another.

Some have strong individuality, their own thoughts, their own goals. To others, the apocalypse is terrifying, something insurmountable.

Yet for some, they yearn to carve out their own domain in this apocalyptic world through sheer effort.

Thinking of Ji Qiuyue, she was one with her own thoughts. If she stayed in Huang City, he could really take good care of her, ensuring she wouldn’t have the chance to harm others.

Mo Lan and Zhang Hao looked at the street scene; it had been a long time since they returned to the city, and they felt out of place, almost as if they had grown accustomed to drifting outside. Suddenly returning to the city stirred up their emotions, leaving them with an indescribable feeling.

"Bro Lin, the city has the highest number of zombies, so how can Sunshine Shelter exist safely?"

Whenever Zhang Hao addressed Lin Fan, it had to be ’Bro’—no other reason—just that he liked the term and felt it brought them closer. Even though Zhang Hao had just met Lin Fan, Lin Fan gave him a strong sense of security.

It was like spotting a young lady; even if unfamiliar, you’d immediately call out, "Look, a beauty!" He couldn’t help but straightforwardly acknowledge with his eyes what was obvious.

"A lot of zombies? That’s not the case. Do you see any zombies outside the car?" Lin Fan reminded them to pay more attention to their surroundings, given there were clearly no zombies present.

Only then did the driver, Mo Lan, and Zhang Hao realize that, at some point, the streets had become deserted, and they hadn’t seen a single zombie, which seemed impossible in their minds.

Where have all those zombies from before gone now? Could it be that zombies have territorial awareness?

"There are... there are no zombies?"

"Right, no zombies. That’s why I said you really know how to pick a route, choosing roads with many zombies when there are plenty without them."

Lin Fan admired their ability to choose a path, akin to ignoring ninety-nine ways to live and opting for the only road leading to death.

This kind of selection was very strong.

"Where have all the zombies gone?"

Mo Lan was incredulous. In their minds, the city was supposed to be teeming with zombies due to its large population. When the apocalypse erupted, amidst the chaos, even though many survived, they would eventually become zombies.

But what they saw now was emptiness.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "I’ve cleared them out. Previously, Huang City was overrun with zombies everywhere, wandering the streets, hiding in the corners of shops, like assassins in the darkness, frequently catching the unwary with fatal attacks."

"But now you don’t have to worry about that anymore."

He patiently explained some of the post-apocalyptic events in Huang City—of course, too many things had happened for a detailed account, so he could only give an overview.

Even hearing just a general account, Mo Lan and Zhang Hao felt as if they were dreaming.

All cleared out?

Huang City to become a zombie-free city?

The more they listened, the more puzzled they were.

The more they listened, the more it seemed the world had significant issues.

Had anyone else told them these things, they would have looked at the person with extreme caution; psychotic behavior wasn’t uncommon in the apocalypse, and it wouldn’t be unusual to encounter such individuals.

They had always been wandering outside, facing countless dangers. In the beginning, it was manageable, but as resources dwindled and human nature changed, danger was everywhere.

It wasn’t just zombies they had to be cautious of, but other living people as well.

"Do you feel like what I’m saying is incredible?"

Lin Fan could see the astonishment on their faces.

Mo Lan nodded, "Yes, indeed, it feels unbelievable."

Zhang Hao also vigorously nodded his head.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "I understand, it’s a normal reaction. Anyone would feel the same, but the truth is as I’ve said. Haven’t you picked up a ’Zombie Album’ while you’ve been outside?"

"Zombie Album?"

"Yes, the one I wrote, which records many types of zombies as well as contents related to the abilities of Awakeners."

"Awakener abilities, right, Sun Neng, who told us this place was safe, he said he could move freely in the apocalypse because zombies couldn’t see him."

"That must be a Disguise ability; it’s a very good Awakener ability, allowing one to move through the city unnoticed. Most zombies will treat him like air, but it’s not an invincible ability. Some zombies can sense hostility, and there’s a type of zombie called the hybrid zombie, which has a bat-like echolocation ability..."

The driver, Mo Lan, looked shocked. She felt that this Bro Lin seemed to really enjoy giving lectures, and he was particularly familiar with the types and abilities of zombies.

In any case, she and Zhang Hao found themselves completely baffled.

Lin Fan suddenly remembered, "Oh, right, you haven’t seen the ’Zombie Album,’ surely you don’t know the situation with the different types of zombies. It’s not as complicated as you think. Once we reach Sunshine Shelter, I’ll give each of you a copy. After reading it, you’ll understand. It’s just that... the fact you haven’t come across a ’Zombie Album’ must be my fault for not distributing enough of them."
