CHAPTER 1173: CHAPTER 278: THIS MIGHT BE ME...

On the way back.

Wu Hao’s mouth didn’t stop, continuously talking to them about the Sunshine Shelter and Lin Fan.

Watching them occasionally gape in surprise.

Wu Hao felt quite pleased, even though the stories weren’t about him. The pride of educating people about someone impressive is immense.

Moments later.

The vehicle reached the end of the road, where their shelter was located.

From a distance, they could see a figure.

"Look, that’s Lin Fan. I told you, he got here faster than we did," Wu Hao said with a smile.

Sun Jun and the others straightened up, staring intently at the distant figure.

So that’s Lin Fan?

Being in Huang City, but arriving here in such a short time seems incredible even when seeing it with their own eyes.

At that moment.

Lin Fan saw the approaching vehicle and smiled. He could sense survivors behind the closed iron gate.

But he didn’t disturb them, choosing to wait for their arrival.

After all, he wasn’t familiar with the people inside, and a sudden knock could easily cause unnecessary panic.

Waiting for them to return was the wisest choice.

The idea of new survivors joining the Sunshine Shelter truly excited him. Every survivor represented hope, constantly reminding him that the world wasn’t beyond saving.

No matter the predicament, someone was always striving to live, waiting to meet him.

"Brother Lin."

Wu Hao hurried out of the vehicle, waving excitedly.

"Long time no see."

Lin Fan smiled, surprised that since their parting, Wu Hao and the others actually encountered survivors. He thought of those always outside, constantly striving to make the end times better.

The occurrence of these events constantly reassured him that he wasn’t alone in his efforts. Many were accompanying him, striving cheerfully along with him.

"These are the survivors they met in the city." Wu Hao introduced Sun Jun and the others to Lin Fan.

"Hello." Lin Fan smiled. Upon first meeting, he approached with the friendliest smile to calm their hearts; the dreadful life had ended, and a beautiful future was just beginning.

"Hello, Brother Lin."

Like Wu Hao, Sun Jun and the others addressed him curiously, looking him up and down.

He matched exactly what was described in the Zombie Album.

Lin Fan gazed into their eyes; they were worthy of the Sunshine Shelter. Remarkable, that the apocalypse hadn’t changed their nature.

This was something truly rare.

"Brother Lin, how did you get here?" Sun Jun asked curiously.

Lin Fan laughed, "I jumped over."

Sun Jun: ...?

Such an answer was beyond his understanding; he could only nod, indicating he could comprehend.

Lin Fan knew that answering truthfully would still likely lead to misunderstanding, but he didn’t explain further. They would understand on the way back; too much explanation was unnecessary.

"Alright, you guys knock and let the other companions come out. I’ve been here for a long while. Didn’t want to scare them by making any noise."

His considerate behavior impressed Chen Yan. She hadn’t expected Lin Fan to be as meticulous, leaving her with a good impression.

Hearing about someone is just that, hear-say.

Now, from these small details, she realized he was truly gentle.

In a woman’s mind, a gentle man can never be bad.

Subsequent events proceeded as expected. The survivors inside the shelter, hearing familiar voices, naturally opened the door, glad to move to Sunshine Shelter.

Everyone was very excited. Their past lives were confusing, but now, new hope had arisen, making them full of vigor.

Lin Fan bid farewell to Wu Hao and the others, reminding them to be careful outside. In case of danger, they must call him first. After receiving a certain response, he led the survivors towards Huang City.

Departing was straightforward—just have them stay in the car and buckle up. The apocalypse bus officially set off.

At this moment, Sun Jun and the others finally understood what ’jumping’ meant.

The ups and downs left them feeling like they were on a roller coaster.

They deeply grasped what Wu Hao meant earlier; indeed, Lin Fan was astonishing, in ways that left them gawking and tongue-tied.

...

Huang City, Sunshine Shelter.

Wang Kai and Guan Hao were busy hosting, registering, and arranging services—everything in one go, to provide the new survivors with a feeling of home.

To let them experience the warmth of the Sunshine Shelter.

"You mean several waves of zombies passed by your place, right?"

Lin Fan just learned that they, while staying in the shelter, witnessed several waves of zombies. Ever since he expanded the cleanup area, it was rare to see any more zombie waves.

Now, upon hearing news about zombie waves.

He was only slightly curious, with not many thoughts, as the planet is round. When his cleanup area continues to expand, he will inevitably encounter zombies.

"Yes, wave after wave. So we went to the city for a satellite phone. Didn’t expect that amid the empty city, a Hunter was hiding. Were it not for them passing by, we would’ve been done for."
