CHAPTER 1219: CHAPTER 287: STRONGEST CITY-GUARDING ZOMBIE, PLEASE SIGN FOR DELIVERY (PART 4)

Thinking that it’s fine to end it here.

A pitiful and suffering life, let it end like this.

His life had been trudged through hardships, and his son never lived like a normal person, lacking the capabilities of normal behavior in life, and after becoming a zombie, he had turned into this state.

It’s indeed very hard for him to accept these things.

Lin Fan slowly walked up to the mutated zombie. As Lin Fan approached, the mutated zombie appeared very uneasy, its tentacle-like limbs had nowhere to rest and wavered slightly.

"Don’t move around."

The old man scolded.

Indeed, a father’s reprimand worked—it didn’t dare to move an inch, behaving like an obedient child.

The old man didn’t know what Lin Fan intended to do, but no matter what, he waited quietly, and at the same time, prevented his zombie son from causing trouble.

This was the only thing he could do.

"Wait a moment, I want to see his true state."

After speaking, Lin Fan leaped onto the mutated zombie’s body. This zombie had no legs or arms; during the evolution process, those had degenerated, leaving only the upper body and head.

Because the creature was so large.

Treading on it was like walking on the ground.

He walked to the face of the zombie, "Sorry, I stepped on your face, but I want to see more things—hope you don’t mind."

This was normal communication.

After all, who would want someone stepping on their face?

Unless the other party is a beautiful girl in black stockings and a short skirt.

While being stepped on, one could appreciate the verdant valleys, as the scenery could make one’s soul relaxed and at ease.

He passed by the steaming mouth.

Saw the dark pores with long, coarse nasal hairs.

Continued to walk forward.

Soon he came to the zombie’s eye. The zombie’s eye sockets were enormous, and the eyeball swirled continuously inside, sensing Lin Fan’s presence—it moved downward, trying to see who had arrived.

"Hello, if I just frightened you, I apologize. Now, I would like to see you; whether human or zombie, no matter what form we become, the eyes are always the windows to the soul."

Lin Fan spoke softly.

Then he focused intently, staring into the eye.

At this moment.

Lin Fan’s expression was calm, as if he had transformed into a beam of light, soaring into the deepest part of the zombie’s soul, feeling its innermost thoughts.

He saw a beach deep within its heart.

Saw the sea.

The cool breeze swept the shore with the waves, and the refreshing sensation was comforting to him, who had not yet become a zombie.

Holding sand in his hand, the grains slipped through his fingers slowly.

’I wish I could run.’

’I wish I could play with other children.’

’I wish I could help dad with work.’

...

"Is this what his heart is like?"

Lin Fan came back to himself, seeing the true scene through the zombie’s eyes, realizing that the zombie in front of him was not what he thought.

"You are great."

Lin Fan told him, then jumped down from the zombie’s face and came to the old man.

The old man was filled with confusion and puzzlement, unsure of what Lin Fan was doing.

"He is great."

"Ah?"

The old man opened his mouth, not understanding at all what the other meant.

This left the old man feeling inexplicably bewildered.

"I saw his true nature deep in his heart through his eyes. You were right, he’s obedient and well-behaved, something I’ve never seen before. His tentacle attacked me, and indeed it was my fault. My voice was too loud, and I created a situation that scared him."

What Lin Fan said made the old man feel relieved and very moved.

It was the first time he heard someone praising his son, the acceptance of his son by others was the most gratifying and joyous thing for him.

"Thank you, truly thank you." The old man was very emotional, tears welling up from his murky eyes and slowly trickling down.

Lin Fan said, "I have a suggestion, not sure what you think."

"What suggestion?"

"I mentioned earlier I came from Huang City. Over there, I’ve already cleared out the zombies, and it’s a safe zone. I’d like to take you and him there, find you a place, so you can take care of him more conveniently."

"But my son is a zombie, would people there agree?"

Lin Fan smiled, "Don’t worry, your son isn’t the only zombie there. There are others. From the beginning, I’ve never discriminated against zombies, only those that have been aggressive and harmed humans, which is something I cannot accept."

The old man truly never expected it to end up like this.

The other party was willing to take in both him and his child.

"Really?"

"Really, absolutely." Lin Fan said very firmly.

"Thank you, so much thank you."

Being accepted made the old man’s emotions very complex. Recalling the past, he often heard people gossiping about his son behind his back. Over time, it wasn’t just behind his back; soon they would say it openly to his face.

This experience tortured him, and he even considered smothering his son, later planning to take poison to follow him.

But he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Lin Fan smiled, "It’s okay, then let’s go."

"Wait a moment."

"What’s the matter? Is there any concern?"

"No, but I have some other survivors here."
