CHAPTER 971: CHAPTER 229: A KILLING BORN OF A CRYSTAL

The group gathered around the campfire.

With Lin Fan present, Pang Yuan took off his War Armor, rubbing his chest to ease his breath. That thing attacked him viciously without a word, and there was no way he could withstand it.

It was really life-threatening.

"Brother Lin, some delicious instant noodles, care to try?"

Sun Ya held two bowls of instant noodles, one for himself and handed the other to Lin Fan.

"Thank you." Lin Fan took the instant noodles.

Pang Yuan looked at Sun Ya, "Didn’t you just eat a bowl? You want more?"

Sun Ya smiled shyly, "I get hungry when I’m nervous. It’s better to eat until I’m full."

Lin Fan really liked instant noodles.

During peaceful times, he needed to take care of himself, but to save money, he always cooked at home.

Moreover, instant noodles come in different flavors.

It seems that the cup ones are much tastier than the bagged ones.

But the cup ones are too expensive; at that price, he could buy a well-prepared Kung Pao Chicken at the market.

So for Lin Fan, instant noodles are considered a luxury.

The surrounding survivors continued to steal glances at Lin Fan and his group.

Upon seeing Lin Fan again, their feelings were not of joy, but tension, as well as envy and jealousy.

Envy and jealousy of the other’s strength.

They also wished to have such abilities.

But unfortunately... they could only watch with wide eyes.

"You didn’t find out the real situation of the other side, what’s your plan now?" Lin Fan asked Ji Qiuyue curiously.

Ji Qiuyue pondered and said slowly, "I’ve decided to leave here. The situation in the settlement compared to that sunglasses guy is not worth staying and wasting time."

As she said this.

Pang Yuan and the others looked up.

"Sister Qiuyue, are you leaving?" Chen Ningning asked.

It wasn’t just Chen Ningning who was reluctant, even Sun Ya and Pang Yuan felt the same.

During this time.

They got along well, deeply feeling that Sister Qiuyue was really a good person, truly a trustworthy companion in the apocalypse. Being able to survive with Ji Qiuyue in the apocalypse gave them great peace of mind.

"Yes, I am leaving here. That guy’s situation just now indicates that there are forces in the apocalypse trying to combine human and zombie genes, which is a terrifying thing. If it gets out of control, it would cause unimaginable disaster to the entire apocalypse."

Ji Qiuyue thought deeply about the situation.

She could distinguish the importance and urgency of things. Initially, she stayed at the settlement to find out the true purpose of the people behind the scenes.

However, during this time, she did not find any useful information.

Lin Fan asked, "What do you think of these survivors around here?"

"Them?" Ji Qiuyue shook her head and said, "They’ve already blended into the apocalypse. They can only fend for themselves."

The survivors staying at the settlement indeed seemed this way.

Lin Fan hadn’t interacted with them, but just from their eyes, he could see that their hearts were already shrouded in negative emotions, with darkness ever-present and never fading.

Selfishness, betrayal, cruelty, etc.

Had already become essential survival laws for them in the apocalypse. Trying to change them was difficult. He had also seen the pamphlets distributed at the settlement.

The deity theories within were indeed quite incredible.

It had a brainwashing feel to it.

"Sister Qiuyue, can I go with you?" Chen Ningning timidly asked.

Ji Qiuyue replied, "Ningning, my journey isn’t as easy and straightforward as you think. Our meeting was fate. During this time, I’ve known that you are all great companions. My suggestion is to leave with Lin Fan and go to the Sunshine Shelter. That’s the place you truly belong."

She was telling the truth.

There are relatively safer places in the apocalypse.

But most of those she needed to find were similar to the sunglasses guy.

The danger level goes without saying.

"But..."

Chen Ningning wanted to say something more but didn’t know what.

Pang Yuan said, "I think Ningning and Sun Ya should go to Sunshine Shelter while I go with you to search. The road is dangerous, and you always need a helping hand. At least I can make a call in times of danger."

Sun Ya said nothing.

People need to recognize their own capabilities. Whether you’re useless, you should know yourself.

He is a Speed Awakened; he’s just fast. Asking him to fight those terrifying zombie creatures is simply suicidal behavior.

Lin Fan, holding the instant noodles, nodded, "He makes some sense. If it’s two people, they can look out for each other along the way. If there’s real danger, at least one person can make a call."

"As for Sun Ya and Chen Ningning, you’ll come with me back to the Sunshine Shelter, where they also need Awakeners to assist the communication staff in repairing the base stations outside."

The current Huang City Shelter can’t be said to be all systems go, but at least there’s a lot that needs repairing.

There are naturally many ordinary people.

But the number of Awakeners needed is also quite high.

"Brother Lin, repair what base station?" Sun Ya asked curiously.

Lin Fan replied, "Communication base station..."

"Oh."

Sun Ya understood.

This is about restoring everything to normal levels, but thinking about it, it’s very challenging. Our country’s land area is vast, and the effort required is immense to repair everything.

An admiration arose spontaneously.

This is what truly deserves respect in the apocalypse.

Thinking about the ideas of those in the settlement, it’s really laughable; still thinking Brother Lin might impede their chances at becoming gods, wanting to keep them captive. It’s just brainless.
