I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade-Chapter 1421 - 342: How Could Ogamoto Reiyi Brag About Battling Lin Fan for a Day and Night?
The scene before their eyes.
Had completely stunned Li Qiang and the other two.
They stared blankly at Ye Qian.
What a ruthless woman, she shot them leaving no trace, not even a speck of dust remained.
Thinking back on the earlier situation.
They felt fortunate, thankful that she hadn’t attacked them; otherwise, their fate would have been the same.
They mumbled to themselves...
The people in the Sunshine Shelter of Huang City, what kind of monsters are they?
Old Zhong saw that Li Qiang and the others had been intimidated; considering Ye Qian’s actions, it was reasonable enough. After all, if they had fled, it would have brought disaster to innocent survivors elsewhere.
To avoid such a disaster from happening.
There was nothing wrong with Ye Qian’s actions.
Even Lin Fan would have given Ye Qian a thumbs-up, praising her remedial measures as being perfectly in place, it was absolutely necessary.
"Take them back."
Old Zhong said in a very low, somber voice.
He had something on his mind.
The worries all buried deep within him.
...
Huang City, Sunshine Shelter.
Old Zhong and the others came back early, bringing survivors who felt as though they had arrived in paradise from hell.
Such an environment made them incredibly excited.
Some even couldn’t believe that all of this was real.
For instance, Guo Feng pinched his face, wanting to know if he was dreaming, but the pain told him it wasn’t a dream. Finally, after enduring so much suffering, he found relief and redemption.
At dusk.
Old Zhong found Lin Fan, he had many things he wanted to say.
On the rooftop.
Old Zhong and Lin Fan stood on the rooftop, gazing at the distant sunset. At this moment, their hearts were calm, reflecting the impact a beautiful scenery can have.
"Old Zhong, you came to find me; I see you are worried, not in a good mood, has something happened?"
Lin Fan looked at Old Zhong’s solemn expression. He knew Old Zhong’s character well, honest and taciturn, not willing to say much, yet possessing a fearless spirit, never abandoning teammates in danger, even at the cost of his own life.
So when Old Zhong came to him.
He knew there must be something buried in Old Zhong’s heart.
With Lin Fan’s inquiry.
Old Zhong began slowly, "Didn’t we bring back some survivors from outside today?"
"Yes, I know." Lin Fan nodded, indeed, Guan Hao had told him, they were found in the area he had cleared, which made him self-doubt why he hadn’t noticed them during the cleanup.
It was truly a strange matter.
Perhaps he was too engrossed in the cleanup, hence the oversight.
Old Zhong took a deep breath and said slowly, "I have been thinking; we humans are striving to overcome the apocalypse, and during this time, our results have been significant, but I have found that some people have gotten used to the lawlessness of the apocalypse. There’s no order, no morality, no ethics, they seize territories like kings and oppress others. Just like the survivors we brought back, they were imprisoned in a city cleared of zombies, controlled by those Awakeners. So I thought, our efforts must not fuel the arrogance of such vicious people."
Hearing these words from Old Zhong.
Lin Fan immediately understood what Old Zhong meant.
"I can understand your feelings." Lin Fan also felt a kind of helplessness in such situations, hoping that survivors in the apocalypse could wholeheartedly yearn for the future filled with hope.
But his ideals were just his ideals; he was not an Immortal God who could control others’ thoughts. He only wished for those alive to follow the faint light he had ventured out, advancing continuously, until they were wholly enveloped by the light.
Old Zhong said, "I talked with Zhu Cheng, and entrusted the task of communication soldier escorting and base station maintenance to Old Tan. Zhu Cheng and I will search for survivors in the cleared regions, I am sure such incidents are not isolated. While in a safe environment, some Awakeners might regard themselves haughtily, leading to situations like before."
Lin Fan listened closely, understanding that Old Zhong was a steady person, grasping his thoughts, not wanting to see their hard-earned results being exploited by malicious Awakeners.
He understood and could relate.
Similarly, he was also troubled, for he really didn’t know such things were happening even in the regions they had cleared.
He knew there must be living survivors in cleared areas.
Once surrounded by zombies, they never had a chance to leave for the Sunshine Shelter, but now, without the threat of zombies, whoever wished to could definitely come.
Lin Fan patted Old Zhong’s shoulder, "I support your idea, take action if you have the thought, we all pursue the same goals."
Old Zhong nodded, after a moment of silence, said slowly, "Lin Fan, have you thought about the future? When the apocalypse truly ends, can ordinary people and Awakeners live in peace forever?"
If it were in the past, Lin Fan would have said without hesitation that the peace would definitely continue.
However, during this time, since he threw away the worthless "Stark and His Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Girlfriends" and turned to more intellectually engaging literature.
He deeply realized a truth, the evolution and development of humanity could be said to be a history of struggles.
