I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1366 - 326: The Devil Is Already on Board, but We’re Still Accelerating (3)
He saw panic in the other’s eyes, a panic that lingered from past experiences and had yet to dissipate.
By the campfire.
Lian Na sat quietly nearby, listening to the conversation between Lin Fan and Sun Neng.
"I didn’t expect him to come here. It seems that Cui Xiaofei and I were right in our previous guess; he really wants to leave."
Lin Fan had previously talked with Cui Xiaofei; he might leave here, go abroad to seek Awakeners, and plunder their abilities to enhance his own strength.
"What should we do then?"
Sun Neng inquired, knowing Jin Poshan’s abilities. If Lin Fan didn’t exist, Jin Poshan would have been the most terrifying presence, but unfortunately, Lin Fan could easily suppress him no matter how he evolved or improved; the result would always be the same.
"Let him be."
Lin Fan was extremely reluctant to waste valuable time on Jin Poshan. With that effort, they could clear more city zombies and rescue more survivors, such worthwhile endeavors.
Sun Neng understood Lin Fan’s thoughts and knew what he meant.
"Only someone as confident as you wouldn’t pay him any mind." Sun Neng stood up, brushed the dust off his pants, and acknowledged that the world they now inhabited was much better.
Unlike the initial stages, where zombies were everywhere.
The southeast and northeast regions were so well-off now.
They had been cleared almost to the point of zombie extinction; even if there were any left, they would be just scattered remnants.
Lin Fan said, "No, it’s not that I’m confident, but I believe that light will always prevail, that evil can find no hiding place and will eventually disappear."
"Yes, well said." Sun Neng gave a thumbs-up, realizing that chatting with Lin Fan filled him with positive energy.
"It’s not just well said; everyone has the same thoughts in their hearts," Lin Fan said.
He never claimed credit for himself but shared all merits and hopes with everyone because everyone was striving forward, quietly contributing to a beautiful future.
Sun Neng said, "Have you heard of a certain principle?"
"A principle?"
"Yes, a principle belonging to a species. Whenever a species faces a crisis, a king will emerge."
"You mean there will be a true king among zombies?"
"It’s uncertain. It’s just a possibility."
Sun Neng wasn’t sure, just speaking casually, and whether a king would emerge, who could tell?
Lin Fan pondered Sun Neng’s words that zombies are a species, and if a king must exist, then calling Wang Qitian a king didn’t seem too far-fetched.
He and Sun Neng chatted leisurely, not rushing back, discussing how they’d seen He Mingxuan, explaining the significant changes in He Mingxuan now, entirely different from before.
Sun Neng remained calm, having long moved on from that distorted affection. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
The initial departure was because Lin Fan had cleared the zombies in Huang City so thoroughly that he saw no room for transformation.
Now, he was on a path of redemption.
"Xiao He, come here," Sun Neng called.
The wagging-tail dog ran happily to Sun Neng’s side, who patted Xiao He’s head, "Look at it, how cute it is. I’m its master. I feed it, and it listens well."
Lin Fan watched the dog Xiao He, blinking.
"Yes, truly a cute dog. We also have a dog at the shelter; maybe someday we can have them meet."
"Sure, no problem."
Time passed quickly.
The time for parting arrived.
Lin Fan prepared to leave with Lian Na. He approached her, "I’ll take you back. Are you ready?"
"I’m ready."
Lian Na nodded, the events of today having significantly impacted her.
"Carrying you will be fine, right?" Lin Fan said this, then thought it might cause misunderstandings, so he clarified, "Don’t get me wrong; I meant I’ll take you back to the Sunshine Shelter. Driving or walking is too slow; carrying you back is faster."
Upon hearing Lin Fan’s explanation,
Lian Na looked at him blankly, her mind a whirlpool of confusion, not quite sure what Lin Fan meant, yet she still instinctively nodded.
Having her consent, Lin Fan lifted Lian Na onto his shoulder.
His movements were professional; knowing she was a woman, he avoided unnecessary contact, which she was aware of.
"We’re off," Lin Fan said to Sun Neng.
"Alright."
With a loud thud,
Lin Fan leapt up, disappearing from Sun Neng’s sight instantly, as Lian Na, carried on his shoulder, exclaimed. She had prepared for many things, except not for this.
Jump... he had jumped.
And jumped very high, exceeding her understanding. She had read the Zombie Album, knew Lin Fan was impressive, but had never thought he could surpass human cognition to such an extent.
Lin Fan took Lian Na back to the shelter, handing her over to Wang Kai, then returned home to contact Cui Xiaofei, informing him that Jin Poshan might have gone to Russia, which Cui Xiaofei didn’t find impossible.
If he were Jin Poshan, his final choice would also be to go to another country.
Only there would his future lay.
...
Morning, Cross-river Bridge.
"No zombies want to be fooled anymore." Wang Qitian sat at the fortress’s edge, raising his head to look at Lin Fan.
Recently, Wang Qitian had lured quite a number of zombies, but now few could be lured, with none at present, possibly due to Wang Qitian’s insufficient spread of power and the sharply decreased number of zombies, unlike before.
