I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1397 - 335: First Encounter with the ’King
A few days later!
Morning!
"A beautiful day often starts with the first breath of fresh air."
Lin Fan came downstairs, spread his arms, gazing at the sky, and took a deep breath.
He cared about each day, determined to live happily.
"Good morning, Little Fan."
"Good morning, sirs," Lin Fan greeted with a beaming smile. Seeing everyone’s smiling faces at first glance made everything worthwhile. Noticing the elderly men striking odd poses by the equipment, he curiously asked, "What are you doing?"
Old Man Wang stood, bent over, and pressed his hands to the ground in a slow, gradual movement, smiling as he said:
"The Five Animals Play, taught by Doctor Xu."
Doctor Xu was quite old too, once an expert at the hospital, well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine. Teaching the elders the Five Animals Play for exercise was a natural thing.
"Oh." Lin Fan knew of the Five Animals Play, a famous traditional health regimen in China, though he hadn’t practiced it, he certainly knew about it. He even thought that when he grew old, he’d definitely learn it well, as having a healthy body is crucial. He then waved, "You take your time, I’m off now."
"Go ahead."
The elderly men waved back with smiles.
The quality of life depends on how the seniors living here fare. Obviously, the seniors at the Sunshine Shelter were living more than well.
Leaving Huang City, Lin Fan walked through the desolate apocalypse with a simple task: find the city teeming with zombies and clean it up.
The procedure was as simple as ever. The tip of Frostmourne touched the ground, countless blood-red threads appeared instantly, extending in all directions. Zombies covered by the threads were instantly drained, the blood-red threads channeling back into Frostmourne, the fastest way he currently had to clean up zombies.
Much faster than wielding a sword himself.
To ensure a clean city, after absorbing the zombies until only dry corpses remained, ice rose to cover all the corpses, then shattered with a crack, dispersing into icy debris.
The debris blanketed the city, giving it a mysterious beauty.
"Really clean."
Lin Fan looked at the city, revealing a very satisfied smile.
The cleanup was not yet over.
Many cities were still waiting for his cleansing.
He knew that in the cities currently occupied by zombies, human survival was almost impossible, as the environment was extremely harsh, making it nearly impossible for humans to survive in a zombie-infested city.
Now, Lin Fan continued his journey, with the next city as his target. But when he arrived, the situation before him seemed very strange.
Zombies in the city were orderly moving towards the distance.
"This could only be caused by the Creator or the Leader Zombie."
He moved through the building rooftops without emerging immediately, choosing instead to follow and see what was happening. After all, the situation with zombie evolution was quite unusual now.
It wasn’t necessarily the Leader Zombie.
And there’s no need to mention the Creator. Given the current situation, Creators were aware of the apocalypse’s dangers, hiding everywhere, fearful of being discovered by Lin Fan. This kind of migration, with such a wide scope, was easily noticeable.
Because of this, he was 50% sure it wasn’t a Creator.
Lin Fan observed the migrating zombie types. While there were many ordinary zombies, the number of Evolutionary Zombies was quite significant. The sudden appearance of so many high-level Evolutionary Zombies must be closely related to that thunderstorm.
After tracking for quite a while.
He still hadn’t seen zombies selecting any destination, instead continuing to trudge and wander towards the distance. This made Lin Fan wonder if it was worth continuing the pursuit.
If it was just an ordinary migration, there was really no need to track it, as it would be a complete waste of time. He thought carefully and decided to keep observing; if he could discover some terrifying zombie due to this pursuit, then everything he had done would be worthwhile.
Suddenly.
The orderly advancing zombies abruptly paused, as if they had lost some sort of control, and started to become agitated. Faced with this situation, Lin Fan furrowed his brows slightly and looked into the distance.
He felt things were not as simple as they seemed.
The zombies had been marching onward fine just a moment ago, clearly under control, but suddenly they became agitated. The implications of this change were quite distinct.
"Could it be that I’ve been discovered?"
Lin Fan wanted to know if someone was indeed manipulating them. Given his level of perception, he could sense any unusual individuals if no major issues were present.
But now...
Suddenly.
He saw, at the front of the zombie horde, a zombie standing motionlessly, quietly looking toward the back, seemingly directing its gaze right at him.
Regarding this strange ordinary zombie, Lin Fan recalled a past situation, where a Creator could control ordinary zombies, establishing a link with them, and transmitting its own influence onto ordinary zombies.
This had happened before.
Without thinking much, Lin Fan leaped forward, landing in front of the strange ordinary zombie. His sudden appearance, along with the scent of flesh, immediately attracted them.
