CHAPTER 1172: CHAPTER 278: THIS MIGHT BE ME...

Sun Jun, Chen Yan, and the others’ expressions changed, shifting from previous despair to newfound hope. Such a dramatic change was like riding a roller coaster, full of ups and downs, truly exhilarating.

As Li Gongrong walked past them, he nodded and then stopped in front of the Hunter. With one step, he crushed the Hunter’s head, picked up the crystal from the ground, pulled the giant axe, hoisted it onto his shoulder, and turned to look at the four survivors.

Wow, four ordinary people daring to take such a risk—what immense courage. You had to give them a thumbs-up and praise them for their boldness.

"Are you guys okay?" Wu Hao asked.

They had come all this way, discovering that there weren’t any zombies in the city. Quite curious, they decided to rest here and gather some supplies to replenish their strength.

Liang Min, equipped with strong perception as a Telekinesis Awakener, noticed movements from afar and led them over quickly, unexpectedly encountering survivors threatened by zombies.

Naturally, they intervened decisively.

"Did you guys come from Sunshine Shelter?" Sun Jun hurriedly asked.

Wu Hao said, "No."

"Oh..."

Hearing this answer, Sun Jun felt a bit disappointed, but Wu Hao’s next words reignited their hope.

"We know people from Sunshine Shelter and are not staying there. Instead, we came out to find survivors, and meeting you guys is indeed a fortunate event."

Wu Hao said with a smile, understanding how terrible the experiences of the four survivors in front of him had been.

In such circumstances, despair was inevitable.

Just like when he was deceived in the past, that kind of despair was hard to describe with words.

"Thank you. If it weren’t for you, we would definitely have been eaten by the Hunter." Sun Jun recalled the recent events; it was truly dangerous.

Wu Hao said, "No need to thank us. We’re all survivors in this apocalyptic world. Meeting each other is fate, so naturally, we wouldn’t stand idly by."

After a brief exchange,

Both sides introduced themselves.

Wu Hao didn’t expect there to be more survivors hiding where they were, besides these four. Indeed, many people were still alive in this apocalyptic world.

No matter how dangerous it was outside,

there were still people living.

The desire to survive should not be underestimated.

They found a bus to leave the city, driving along the road.

In the bus, Chen Yan was tending to Zhou Hongcheng’s wounded forehead. Their faces were somewhat pale, clearly still shaken by what had just happened.

"Don’t worry. Now that you’ve met us, you’re safe. I have already contacted Lin Fan for you, and he’ll be here soon to pick you up."

Wu Hao noticed their expressions and offered reassurance.

He loved seeing the joy of newfound life on the faces of survivors.

Even though his ability was the weakest, he had an unsettled heart, eager to bring hope to more survivors.

After all, someone had once brought hope to him, and he wanted to spread that hope, letting more people feel how wonderful hope was.

Sun Jun and his companions exchanged glances, their eyes filled with light.

The sudden descent of hope, that feeling — really refreshing, truly comforting.

"Is Sunshine Shelter really that safe?" Sun Jun asked eagerly, wanting to hear a definite answer even though he knew it was safe.

Perhaps this would make him feel more at ease.

Wu Hao had never been there, but having been or not didn’t matter much; he was a messenger walking in the apocalypse.

"Of course, it’s safe. It’s the best shelter in the apocalyptic world, the only paradise on earth."

Wu Hao spoke passionately about the wonders of that place.

Sun Jun and the others listened, full of yearning, feeling as if a beautiful life was waving at them.

Wu Hao continued, "Don’t worry. Many survivors live there, and their way of life is exactly the same as during peaceful times before. There’s no need to worry about safety; Lin Fan, the Guardian God there, is the strongest human, and no zombies can defeat him, as he always protects Sunshine Shelter."

"I’m really looking forward to it. But isn’t Huang City a bit far from here? It might take two or three days," Sun Jun was so eager to become part of this big family right away.

"Two or three days?" Wu Hao was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "It won’t take that long. I think it’ll be a few minutes. Maybe before we reach you, he’ll already be there."

"Huh?"

Sun Jun gaped at Wu Hao, somewhat bewildered, doubting if he had heard wrong. How could it possibly be just a few minutes? That’s simply impossible.

Wu Hao knew it was hard for them to believe what he said. He himself had found it hard to believe until he witnessed it firsthand.

"You know the current situation; the world has changed dramatically. We are all Awakeners. Although we seem powerful, compared to Lin Fan, we are in no way comparable."

"So, when I say a few minutes, I mean it. You’ll believe it when you see it."

That’s all Wu Hao could say.

Sun Jun and his companions exchanged glances, sharing a common thought; it was indeed a bit hard to accept.

Of course, in their eyes, they were really strong. Tossing an axe to kill a Hunter was something they never dared to imagine.
