Chapter 754: Chapter 187: The Mermaid’s Choice_3

Everyone crawled out of their warm beds to greet a beautiful new day.

Downstairs.

"Lin Fan, good morning."

Old Mr. Wang was chatting leisurely with Old Mr. Zhou. Both elders were truly satisfied with their current lives, having witnessed the shelter’s development.

From just a few individuals to the size it has reached now, it signifies that humanity will not be extinguished.

Strength in despair, growth in adversity.

All those who are alive will become increasingly stronger, not just physically, but more so emotionally.

"Good morning to the two elders,"

Lin Fan said with a smile, greeting them. He was busier with each passing day, always occupied with various tasks, but fortunately, he had many helpers and only needed to do what he could.

Old Mr. Wang laughed, "Lin Fan, how are things progressing with you and Nini?"

The two elders always regarded Lin Fan and Yan Nini as a couple.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Elders, it’s not as you think."

The two elders chuckled heartily.

"Oh, just coming downstairs, I heard someone mention me?"

At that moment, Yan Nini, unadorned and dressed in a youthful sport outfit, came downstairs. Truly beautiful, with her ponytail swinging left and right as she walked.

Old Mr. Wang said, "We were asking Lin Fan about how things are going between the two of you."

Yan Nini glanced at Lin Fan, expressing with regret, "You elders might not know, but it’s hard for me to even speak with Brother Lin these days. He is so busy, it’s rare for us to meet."

Lin Fan smiled as he clearly heard that slight complaint from Yan Nini.

"Nini, that’s not true. I get up on time and come back on time every day. I’m always around."

Yan Nini lived just across from him. Previously, she would knock on his door almost every evening, sitting and chatting with him in the living room. Now, the casual inquiries from the elders presented Yan Nini with an opportunity to report playfully, which was really ...

Old Mr. Wang and Old Mr. Zhou watched with hearty laughter. Young people were simply wonderful, full of energy. At their age, even if they wanted to do things, they were more willing than able.

Yan Nini boldly wrapped her arm around Lin Fan’s, "Brother Lin, I was just kidding. Are you going to be busy again soon?"

Such an action seemed very intimate, but it was also quite normal. For Yan Nini, she only liked to hold the arms of those she liked and felt close to.

Old Mr. Wang said, "Indeed, the zombies in Hwang City have been cleared, it’s time for you to take a break."

He truly admired this young man, Lin Fan.

Lin Fan had accomplished what he had always wanted to do, clearing Hwang City of zombies. It was unbelievable for strangers to hear, but they believed it, after having spent a long time together.

Lin Fan said, "It’s all right. I can rest anytime. Clearing the zombies in Hwang City was our first step in taking a stand against the zombies. Next, I plan to clear the zombies in the surrounding areas, starting by clearing the regions around Hwang City."

The number of zombies was indeed large.

But zombies do not reproduce, so as long as they persisted, it was possible to clean up every single one.

As Old Mr. Wang and the others listened to Lin Fan, they sighed in their hearts. Lin Fan was really working hard. His effort was not something just anyone could endure.

"Lin Fan, is your plan to clear all the zombies?" Old Mr. Wang asked, already knowing the answer to the question in his heart.

"Of course."

Lin Fan’s response was very firm, definitely to clear all the zombies. Leaving a single zombie outside was a threat to those still alive.

"Brother Lin, it is very exhausting."

Yan Nini understood the heavy burden that Lin Fan carried. If she had the ability, she would definitely have helped him without a second thought.

Unfortunately, she was regretfully powerless, a weak girl, limited to looking after the children.

"No worries. It’s not tiring. It just takes time. Anyway, today is my first time clearing zombies from the outside world. I’m going to have a look."

Lin Fan said goodbye with a smile and then left the residential area.

Watching Lin Fan leave,

Old Mr. Wang sighed.

"Lin Fan has taken up the responsibility of the young generation today. We surviving folks really should be grateful to him."

"Yes," Old Mr. Zhou nodded affirmatively.

At this moment,

the survivors in the shelter greeted Lin Fan warmly as they saw him.

"Brother Lin, good morning."

"Brother Lin, have you had breakfast?"

Facing everyone’s greetings, Lin Fan always responded with a smile.

Everyone was truly sincere.

They kept in mind what Lin Fan had done for them. Without Lin Fan, they would not have their current lives.

Upon leaving the shelter, the streets outside too were busy with many survivors. Their work was no longer confined to the shelter, but had begun clearing the abandoned buildings.

If unfamiliar survivors saw this situation, they might say... "Are you guys idle with nothing better to do? Cleaning up places you don’t use, what for?"

But what they didn’t know...

Life was such—having something to do gave them hope.

They needed hope.

...

Outside Hwang City.

"It would be great if we could find a Screaming Zombie."

Lin Fan looked around, seeing zombies shuffling around, and being so close to Hwang City, any little noise would attract the zombies into the city.
