CHAPTER 1248: CHAPTER 295: THE WORLD OF LOVE—WHAT THE HELL IS THIS

Ji Qiuyue said, "This is Lin Fan’s way of recognizing you."

If Lin Fan didn’t recognize Zhu Lei, he certainly wouldn’t have given him the War Armor. Moreover, she would have to consider whether to keep Zhu Lei by her side, given the undeniable dangers of the post-apocalyptic world. Keeping an unstable person around is truly risky.

"Hmm, I will definitely give it my all. Even if I have to die, I’m not afraid. I must contribute to the post-apocalyptic world." Zhu Lei was filled with determination. In his eyes, earning Lin Fan’s recognition was truly a thrilling matter.

Nothing can compare to it.

He wanted to forever remember Lin Fan’s recognition of him in his heart.

Ji Qiuyue smiled. It seemed that Lin Fan held an extremely high position in Zhu Lei’s heart, as even the smallest of gestures invigorated him more than any amount of motivational speeches could.

...

At Sunshine Shelter, in Huang City.

"Professor Xia, this headless corpse was formerly a Mutant, then underwent genetic mutation, but it didn’t turn into a monster; instead, it became like this. I think during the mutation, her genes might have changed towards perfection."

Lin Fan brought this corpse to Professor Xia the moment he returned.

Professor Xia was an expert in this field; there’s no doubt about it. Given the current post-apocalyptic situation, whether zombies or Mutants, finding a cure through research was no longer feasible.

Even though that’s the case, research must continue to provide future generations with a wealth of research results. Just in case, many, many years later, if Lin Fan is no longer around and the apocalypse recurs, future generations would otherwise have to fumble around and learn the hard way as they did.

"Is that so?"

Professor Xia looked at this corpse. Although it was headless, the body’s adaptation was indeed beyond imagination, a level of transformation that many Mutants couldn’t achieve.

"Professor Xia, I’m just a novice in this area. You’re the expert. Please take a look. I have something else that needs my attention," Lin Fan said.

Professor Xia waved his hand, "Go on."

Lin Fan left Professor Xia’s research base, heading towards Guan Hao’s place.

Inside the house.

Guan Hao, Yan Nini, Li Mei, Grandma Xu, and Grandma Liang were all standing there, looking at the female survivor whom Lin Fan had brought back, as she curled up shivering in the corner.

"Oh, this poor child, what has she been through to be this frightened?" Grandma Liang felt a deep pity for her. In her eyes, this girl was like a granddaughter, yet now she resembled a frightened kitten, extremely wary of her surroundings. Any slight movement or if anyone approached would frighten her into trembling.

Guan Hao exclaimed, "Those damn Mutants, how dare they torment people like this."

He was now a person full of compassion, and especially seeing a girl tormented to such a state drove him beyond restraint. If he hadn’t been staying at Sunshine Shelter and went outside, he would’ve certainly wanted to make those guys pay for it.

Grandma Xu wiped the corners of her eyes. "This child’s situation reminds me of those horrifying moments from before. I can vaguely remember the young women I treated back then. They had such bright futures but ended up like this child, frightened out of their wits."

Grandma Xu had been a military doctor in the past, participating in many battles, and the present situation affected her greatly.

Yan Nini stood beside Grandma Xu, supporting her.

She had never imagined someone could be frightened to such an extent, which made her feel fortunate. If Brother Lin hadn’t come to promote properties, her situation might have been equally dire.

She didn’t know how to comfort the person in front of her. Despite wanting to say many things, everything was stuck in her throat, unable to be spoken.

She could only stay quietly by her side.

Hope that she can come out of fear, as there is still a beautiful future waiting for her.

Footsteps approached.

"How is she?" Lin Fan was most worried about the woman he brought back because anyone could tell that her mental state was very poor, almost giving the impression that she was mentally broken.

Guan Hao said, "Brother Lin, she’s not doing well. She just screamed and yelled, then slightly relaxed after realizing we meant no harm, but only a little."

Lin Fan looked at her curling in the corner, with no sign of improvement compared to the initial situation.

At this moment, he felt something was missing at Sunshine Shelter.

The apocalypse is terrifying, and its impact on people’s hearts is substantial. Some may appear normal on the surface but often awaken suddenly from sleep, as those horrific scenes replay like a slideshow in the mind, emerging violently when least expected, thoroughly shattering one’s spirit.

"Grandma Xu, Grandma Liang, please watch over her for now. I’ll be back shortly," Lin Fan said.

Grandma Xu replied, "Okay, she’s safe with us here. You go attend to your matters."

Lin Fan nodded to Yan Nini, who also showed a resolute expression, indicating she would take good care of the woman.

...

"You’re talking about mental health therapy?"

Gu Hang was quite surprised when Lin Fan mentioned this. Why set up a mental health therapy facility when everyone at Sunshine Shelter seemed well enough?
