Chapter 762: Chapter 188 This Is Just a Microcosm of the Present_5

"Ah..."

Li Lan screamed, waving her hands and kicking her legs frantically.

On the side, Gao Shang was even holding onto her legs, coordinating with a college student to carry Li Lan inside.

"Help!"

Li Lan was a woman, and her body was weak; she couldn’t fend off the attack and could only scream for help desperately.

The couple’s male companion continued eating food, witnessing the scene unfold before him without the slightest ripple disturbing his calm heart, unshaken by what was happening.

All he could think about was... he couldn’t just starve to death, he had to live, he absolutely had to survive.

As for his girlfriend being humiliated?

He no longer cared, being able to have a full meal at such a time meant more to him than anything, even if it was his wife, he would agree.

And just then,

A furious shout, like thunder exploding, came through.

"Stop!"

Facing this unexpected voice, the two men assaulting Li Lan were clearly shocked, as they searched for the source of the sound.

The boyfriend was also startled, almost choking, but after regaining his composure, he continued eating while looking towards the shore, where the voice seemed to have come from.

On the shore.

Lin Fan, carrying the Frost Mourner, arrived at the port to check for any survivors, as many would hide on boats.

The "Lucky" was such a case.

Surviving on a boat had much higher odds than in the city.

With ears that could hear sharply, he immediately heard a cry for help.

Judging by the voice, it was a woman’s.

Though he hadn’t seen the situation, his experience told him that if she were facing zombies, she would have been bitten and killed after a single scream; her sustained calling indicated that this female survivor might be facing an unlawful invasion, a violation.

He quickened his pace and soon saw the situation on the yacht.

Two male survivors seemed to be forcing a female survivor to do something.

He raised his voice in rebuke, calling a halt.

His scolding was effective.

The men stopped what they were doing and turned to look toward the shore.

Arriving at the boat.

"What are you doing?"

Lin Fan looked at the three men before him.

Li Lan hid behind Lin Fan, pointing at them, "They tried to force me..."

Lin Fan wasn’t surprised by the situation. Since the apocalypse started and order collapsed, all morals and ethics had crumbled to dust.

No one cared about these things anymore, nor did they think such things shouldn’t be done.

Instead, they gradually felt that the current situation was normal.

Everyone was doing it, so going with the flow was a perfectly natural thing to do.

"It’s okay now, you’re safe with me," Lin Fan said gently, hoping to calm her, as shock required soothing, self-regulation.

In this regard, he was fairly successful.

Li Lan looked at the mysterious man with a sword on his back who had appeared before her.

Although she didn’t know his name, for some reason, she felt his presence emitted a steadying glow that calmed her heart.

They looked at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan also looked at them, seeing darkness in their eyes—a darkness from deep within their souls, swirling like a vortex, consuming what little conscience they had left, if any remained at all.

"Do you know them?" Lin Fan asked.

"I do."

Li Lan explained their relationships clearly and also narrated the recent events.

Lin Fan frowned slightly as he listened to the terrifying tale.

He fixed his gaze on the boyfriend.

This man was her boyfriend, and they had even been discussing marriage. Who could have imagined such a thing would happen?

Inside, he was shocked.

But upon reflection, he understood this was not an isolated incident, but a microcosm of the entire post-apocalyptic world.

Gao Shang and the college student dared not challenge Lin Fan.

Primarily because they had seen the sword in Lin Fan’s hand.

If they had attacked Lin Fan, things would have become complicated, as Lin Fan could claim self-defense.

Lin Fan then turned to Li Lan, "I live in H city, at Sunshine Shelter. Many survivors live there. Would you like to come with me?"

He was happy to see a living survivor.

But his mood was not entirely good, marred by the encounter with the three men. The only solace was that he had arrived in time to prevent a tragedy.

Saving a stranger from a tragic fate was undoubtedly a cause for joy.

What he didn’t know was just how many tragedies might be happening elsewhere.

"I will," Li Lan agreed instantly without hesitation.

She didn’t know Lin Fan, but he gave her a sense of security, a feeling of safety.

"Then let’s go," said Lin Fan.

Lin Fan paid no further attention to the three men. If Officer Huang were still in H city, he would have taken them to meet him, but now, without Huang, he didn’t take them along and left them to fend for themselves.

Li Lan followed Lin Fan, and as she left, she looked back with disappointment and anger at her former boyfriend, still struggling to understand why it had come to this.

"Are we just letting them go like this?" the college student asked as they walked away.

"You want to take them on? Did you not see his weapon?" Gao Shang retorted. "Even if we have kitchen knives, don’t you understand that a longer weapon has the advantage?"
