CHAPTER 1161: CHAPTER 275: I’M JUST AN INTERNET CAFE MANAGER

...

Southern City.

Lin Fan was clearing out zombies, the city’s streets were filled with wandering zombies. As the apocalypse progressed, the number of Evolutionary Zombies was gradually increasing, while the number of ordinary zombies remained unchanged.

Many ordinary zombie genes were still not viable.

No matter how much time passed, they still couldn’t become Evolutionary Zombies.

At this moment, Lin Fan walked into a shop, his hand brushing over the table. The dust was thick, it had not been cleaned for a long, long time. Such a city was completely desolate, with no sign of human life.

With a bottle of drink in hand, he walked to the door, gazing at the distant street, where zombies growled lowly.

Tilting back his head, glug glug glug.

He tossed the empty drink bottle into the trash can.

"Let’s get to work. As for the city’s future, let future generations deal with it."

The Sorrow of Frost covered everything in ice, spreading over the concrete ground, extending far into the distance.

The battles now were not as fierce as they used to be.

Everything was very calm.

The frozen zombies were trapped in poses, their lively energy sealed in ice, unable to resist even if they wanted to.

Lin Fan lifted his sword and slowly walked forward, pausing to glance at the frozen zombies, gently touching them, feeling a chill.

Crack!

Crack!

The ice sculpture shattered into ice shards, falling to the ground.

The number of zombies in a city was huge; hardly any survivor would dare claim they could clean out all the zombies in a city on their own.

And just at this moment.

A zombie he had never seen before appeared in his line of sight.

"A new type of zombie, quite lucky."

His approach when encountering a new zombie type was to take a photo, assess the other’s abilities, and then record it in the "Zombie Album," so that more people could know the types of zombies. To rush in and act without understanding the stranger in front of them could lead to trouble.

He walked towards the new zombie.

"Hey, how are you?" Lin Fan waved at the new type of zombie, greeting it.

According to previous situations, the new zombie would definitely pounce like a mad dog, but something unexpected happened, as this new zombie merely glanced at him and shifted its gaze, walking forward.

"What’s going on?"

Lin Fan showed an expression of surprise on his face; this was a rare scene.

The zombie in front of him didn’t show much deformation; it wasn’t that different from ordinary zombies, but its eyes were different, being completely black, as if devoid of eyeballs.

He followed behind this zombie.

The surrounding zombies, upon seeing Lin Fan, growled deeply and charged at him.

"Quite aggressive indeed."

Facing this group of attacking zombies, he casually swung the Sorrow of Frost, dispatching them.

Splurt!

Splurt!

The zombies’ heads detached and rolled on the ground, yet the situation didn’t affect the new zombie walking ahead.

At this moment.

The new zombie was stopping and starting, specifically heading for streets crowded with zombies. However, this didn’t provoke any thoughts in Lin Fan; he just wanted to see where this zombie was going.

Ordinary zombies had no sense of fear.

Even when Lin Fan seemed strong, to ordinary zombies, he was fresh blood and flesh, something to fill their stomachs with.

Thus, the fate of this group of ordinary zombies was a dead end.

"Where exactly are you going?" Lin Fan mumbled to himself as he followed behind, not understanding the other’s situation.

Then, at that moment, the new zombie halted in front of an internet cafe.

Affection Internet Cafe.

The new zombie walked into the internet cafe, surprisingly sitting at the cashier’s desk, doing nothing.

This internet cafe appeared old and dated, almost obsolete in the age of internet cafes.

Lin Fan saw a plastic panel on the wall, wiped the dust from it. Beneath the plastic was a photo, labeled as a network administrator below, and after close inspection, the photo was identical to the new zombie.

"Even after turning into a zombie, still sticking to the job?"

It reminded him of Officer Huang, firefighters, and some other special zombies.

But it wasn’t quite right.

Those zombies maintained their inner beliefs. Was this new zombie also keeping its belief of going to work?

But even if Officer Huang and others hadn’t evolved, in the earliest stages, they reacted to external stimuli.

The new zombie in front of him had no reaction at all.

This puzzled him.

"Hello, can you hear me?" Lin Fan waved a hand in front of it, hoping for a reaction, even a blink would suffice.

As expected, the new zombie showed no response at all.

Just sat there dumbly, black eye sockets staring at the dead screen.

Lin Fan picked up his camera, aiming the lens.

Click!

Click!

Capturing its form, storing it in the camera.

Then he took out the satellite phone.

Called Professor Xia.

The call connected.

"Xiao Fan, what’s up?"

"Professor Xia, I encountered a peculiar zombie in a city; it hasn’t mutated, just with black eye sockets, and it doesn’t attack humans. I greeted it, but it made no response at all. I followed it, and when it was human, it was a network admin at an internet cafe. Now, as a zombie, it still goes to work there."

"Is it really that amazing?"

Indeed, Professor Xia was somewhat shocked.

The most important thing is that it doesn’t respond to external changes and continues its former habits. What exactly caused this?

If it were aggressive toward humans, the threat would be substantial no matter what.

"Mm, very amazing. I think if all zombies were like it, it would be a fortunate thing for humans."

His greatest hope is for zombies to be more friendly.

What’s good about eating people?

It’s too brutal.

Turning into a zombie wasn’t their choice, but if they could be more friendly and not pose a threat to humans, he’d be happy to coexist peacefully with zombies.

After all, this world’s capacity for tolerance is vast.

Professor Xia said, "That’s the idea, but achieving that is very difficult."

"Yes, I understand. I’ll take this zombie back to let Zhu Cheng have a look later, not sure which category it belongs to."

Sunshine Shelter had Zhu Cheng’s expertise, encountering unknown zombies, he’d take a good look.

"Mm, that sounds good."

Professor Xia understood Zhu Cheng’s capabilities; as they improved, Zhu Cheng saw more, and sometimes in research, he had to consult with Zhu Cheng.

Ending the call.

Lin Fan looked at the new zombie still sitting there, also known as Qiu Jie the network admin.

"I’ll take you back to Sunshine Shelter later, don’t worry, since you’re no threat to humans, we won’t harm you. Just hope you’ll cooperate a little," Lin Fan said.

Qiu Jie still sat there.

Lin Fan stepped forward, grabbing Qiu Jie’s wrist, trying to pull him up, but unexpectedly, Qiu Jie showed resistance, seemingly unwilling to rise, wanting to keep his post.

But its strength couldn’t compare to Lin Fan.

"It’ll be quick, don’t worry, don’t be afraid."

Lin Fan pulled Qiu Jie outside, then embraced him, leaping quickly toward Huang City. Held in his arms, Qiu Jie struggled, letting out a low growl, as if saying...

I want to go back, I want to go back to work, let me go, or I’ll get a pay cut.
