CHAPTER 1218: CHAPTER 287: STRONGEST CITY-GUARDING ZOMBIE, PLEASE SIGN FOR DELIVERY (PART 3)

"After turning into a zombie, what are the symptoms?" Lin Fan was eager to know about the other party’s evolution. After all, with the apocalypse just breaking out, it couldn’t have changed into this form instantly; it must have taken some time.

The old man said, "Yes, after turning into a zombie, his body grew uncontrollably, increasing every day. Then lumps started forming on his back, along with slender tentacles. But he never harmed me, and he still listened to me until he became like this."

Unbelievable.

Truly unbelievable.

Lin Fan could hardly believe this situation. Self-evolving, with the passage of time, the body gradually increased, eventually becoming this form.

To be honest, given this zombie’s condition, even an ordinary Creator might not be its match.

"But after all, he’s still a zombie. Zombies have an inherent craving for human flesh," Lin Fan said.

The old man hurriedly said, "No, no, my son has never eaten a human. I can guarantee that."

Lin Fan replied, "But when I was clearing zombies, he hid in the shadows, waiting for a chance to attack me. If it were other survivors, they might have been in danger."

"That’s impossible, it must be a misunderstanding. My son must have felt you were dangerous and was worried about my safety, so he acted that way. He’s really obedient and well-behaved." Hearing Lin Fan’s words, the old man was very worried. As a father, no matter what his son turned into, he always thought of standing in front to protect him.

Such an obedient child, when zombies were everywhere in the city, he also encountered danger, but it was his son who protected him, preventing him from being harmed by zombies.

Lin Fan looked at the old man, then looked up at the huge mutated zombie beside him.

Honestly speaking.

No one dared to believe that such a zombie wouldn’t harm anyone, even if they killed the other party, they might still not be convinced.

Just as Lin Fan was contemplating what to do.

The old man said, "Really, you must believe me, he really didn’t mean to hurt you, he was just scared."

Listening to the old man’s words.

Lin Fan realized the other party didn’t seem to be pleading for his son but rather clarifying that his child was really obedient and wouldn’t harm anyone.

"I believe what you said." Lin Fan smiled, unwilling to see an old man nervously explaining for his son.

The old man felt relieved, then patted his son’s tentacles, as if saying, it’s okay, dad has explained it clearly, you’re still a good kid, and people don’t blame you.

"Thank you, young man."

"No need to thank me. To be honest, it’s actually my fault, I’ve been clearing out zombies everywhere to clean them all up and restore the country to its former state."

Lin Fan attributed the responsibility to himself.

His methods of clearing zombies were slightly aggressive, indeed making zombies with self-awareness feel intimidated.

The deformed zombie just now was shouting ’aow aow’. Wasn’t it trying to attract monsters, but instead calling for its dad, hoping he would come and protect it?

"Can you really clear them all? Zombies are very formidable." The old man had some understanding of zombies, knowing each was terrifying and violent. He had seen many flee only to be knocked down by zombies, and those in cars being overturned.

Their strength was truly terrifying.

Lin Fan confidently said, "I’m also very strong, even stronger than zombies. I’ve come from Huang City, and I’ve cleared out all the cities nearby. Even if there are surviving zombies, their numbers are scant."

The old man was astonished by what Lin Fan said and truly powerful.

He chose to believe it.

If he weren’t powerful, how could he have appeared here? Otherwise, he would have been killed by zombies on the way.

After learning this situation.

The old man’s murky eyes suddenly became much firmer.

As if he had confirmed something.

"Young man, can you do me a favor?"

"Please tell me."

"I hope you can help me kill my son. I didn’t want to see him turn into this, and he surely doesn’t want to either. I have no other way; if I had, I wouldn’t trouble you."

Lin Fan could feel that when the old man made this request, he truly made a huge decision, no matter what, this was still his son.

"Aow..."

The mutated zombie made a sound, a weak one, as if it was trying to say something.

Perhaps it agreed with its dad’s words.

Or perhaps it was saying, I’m living well and don’t want to die yet.

"Can you?" the old man urged.

Lin Fan pondered, not giving an immediate answer. He knew this was the old man’s sincere request, hoping his child wouldn’t suffer this way.

But Lin Fan understood the current situation.

Once he killed the zombie, the old man in front of him would definitely not survive; he would certainly follow his son together.

"Old man, are you sure your child wants to die?" Lin Fan asked.

"I... I’m not sure either."

The old man looked at his son, who was no longer human. Even if he wasn’t sure, what could he do? Someday in the future, when he was gone, this child would be out of control, who could predict what trouble might arise?

Therefore, he didn’t want those future troubles to happen.
