CHAPTER 973: CHAPTER 229: A KILLING BORN OF A CRYSTAL (PART 3)

He doesn’t like to impose his will on others.

This is not his habit.

Nor is it...

"Damn it, you took the chance to steal my crystal, I’ll kill you."

At that moment, a roar came.

It instantly caught everyone’s attention.

A man wielding a machete slashed at another man’s neck, with a gruesome sound like cutting a major artery, blood spurting horrifically, splattering all over a nearby survivor.

"Damn it, could you warn me before you start? You sprayed blood all over my face. What if he had some disease, what the hell am I supposed to do?"

The blood-splattered survivor cursed angrily.

Now in the apocalypse, guys often don’t use protection when they hook up with girls, who knows about diseases.

The killer found a White Crystal from the victim’s body and kicked the corpse to the ground, cursing under his breath.

"Damn you, you dog looking for death."

"Sorry about that, everyone."

He casually greeted the others.

The surrounding survivors were long used to this sight.

Killing is no big deal.

It’s been a normal thing without anyone to stop it, everything relying on raw power.

Lin Fan slightly frowned at this scene.

Kill in front of me?

This is an illegal act.

And such brutal means.

"I’ll be back." Lin Fan got up and walked towards the man.

The victim’s corpse lay there carelessly.

No one cared or buried it, until the smell forced someone to begrudgingly bury it.

The murderer was named Wang Yonglong, vicious by nature, harboring ill intentions, utterly selfish, turning against even friends if they threaten his interests.

He was like this even in peacetime.

In the apocalypse, naturally he only got worse.

"Killing is illegal."

Lin Fan approached him, looking down at him.

Wang Yonglong looked up, grinning to reveal two rows of teeth, "Oh, then what?"

"Come back to Huang City Prison with me, serve your time there. If Officer Huang is still in Huang City, I’ll take you to see him." Lin Fan said.

Wang Yonglong wanted to scoff at his words but refrained, wary of the other’s strength. "He stole from me, isn’t it normal to kill him? Besides, this is the apocalypse, there’s no law to speak of."

Lin Fan pulled him up, gripping his wrist, "It’s okay, when I encounter any criminal, it’s my duty to take him back, you just come with me later."

Wang Yonglong struggled, not expecting such a strong hold on his wrist.

No matter how he struggled, it was all in vain.

"Help me..."

Wang Yonglong roared.

He had helpers, he wasn’t alone. Now being taken to Huang City Prison, nothing good could come of it.

What made him incredulous was...

His accomplices merely watched like spectators.

No intention to save him.

"You bastards..."

Wang Yonglong cursed in a fit of rage, but no one paid him any mind, leaving him to save himself. As an Awakener, he still had some skills, intending to strike Lin Fan on the head.

Lin Fan gently tapped his hand, seemingly with little force, yet it made Wang Yonglong scream heart-wrenchingly, feeling like his bones were cracking.

Enduring the sharp pain, he shouted.

"He’s taking me back to harm me, today you all ignore me, but one day when disaster strikes, who will help you?"

Very familiar words.

Though he made sense.

Yet with Lin Fan present, the surrounding survivors merely watched, none daring to intervene, perhaps they could speak earlier, but to act... don’t be ridiculous, only if they were tired of living.

Pang Yuan and the others knew a bit about Lin Fan’s habits.

Most of these survivors weren’t good people, but as long as they didn’t break the law, Lin Fan wouldn’t act against them. However, if they committed a crime in his presence, they were doomed.

"Are you really leaving now?"

Lin Fan didn’t expect Ji Qiuyue and her group were preparing to leave overnight.

"Yes, leaving here. Outside might be safer than here."

Don’t be fooled by the many who’ve survived here, living people can often be more terrifying than the zombies who only eat flesh.

"Alright then, stay safe. Call me tomorrow and tell me your location. Professor Xia has developed the 2.0 War Armor, I’ll bring it to you tomorrow." Lin Fan said.

Ji Qiuyue showed no reaction to the 2.0 War Armor. She knew Grandpa Xia’s capabilities, creating such armor under dire circumstances was just normal.

She was somewhat anticipating the War Armor’s features.

The fusion of technology and mutation could wield terrifying power.

"Okay, got it."

After they left.

The survivors exchanged glances.

"Fuck, so damn arrogant. If I were close to godhood, I’d sure show him."

"Just because they evolved earlier they’re so cocky, I’d really like to kill them."

"Then why didn’t you do it just now?"

"Bullshit, if you’re so good, you do it."

This bunch of survivors could adapt like turtles, shrinking in Lin Fan’s presence, but acted bold when he wasn’t there, so cautious.

Suddenly.

A commotion arose in the crowd.

"Damn it, hand it over. You found a pale Golden Crystal in Ji Qiuyue’s tent when they left, didn’t you?"

"No, I didn’t."

"Bullshit, I saw you. Hand it over."

The argument instantly caught everyone’s attention.

A pale Golden Crystal?
