CHAPTER 985: CHAPTER 231: FEAR, TERROR, AND HELPLESSNESS

Tang Jiayu looked at the fields before her, feeling very satisfied.

In the end times, she had gradually matured, no longer the ignorant rich girl she once was.

She had learned to cook, farm, repair machinery, among other things.

"Miss Tang, good day."

"Hello."

People passing by would always greet Tang Jiayu.

Tang Jiayu would always smile back. After all, during this time, she had become very familiar with everyone, you could say she had blended in. She hadn’t been in contact with Lin Fan for a very long time.

She used to fantasize.

The saying goes, a woman pursuing a man is like a thin veil; once you take the first step, success is near.

But who would have thought, even though she had been very straightforward, Brother Lin still hadn’t responded at all.

For this reason, she knew Brother Lin might not have thought about these things at all.

Instead, he devoted all his energy to the apocalypse.

After she understood this, she stopped bothering him at night, allowing Brother Lin to rest early and have ample sleep, as clearing zombies every day is tiring work.

And of course, she hadn’t wasted any time either.

She had been diligently learning all along.

"Miss Tang, there’s a boat, a small boat..." At this moment, a survivor hurriedly ran over.

"Let’s go, take a look."

Tang Jiayu rushed over, and when she arrived at the scene, there were already guards with guns gathered around, not daring to approach.

"What’s the situation?" Tang Jiayu asked.

The bodyguard said, "Miss, this boat just drifted over, we haven’t gone up to check yet, so we’re not sure what’s going on."

Tang Jiayu frowned, having experienced previous incidents, she held a cautious attitude towards suddenly appearing boats to guard against some mysterious organization trying to capture people.

Just as she was about to speak and arrange for someone to go up and check.

Something happened.

A hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the bed, and at the same time, a weak voice called out.

"Help... help me."

...

"Brother Lin, that’s what happened, there was only him on the whole boat." Tang Jiayu explained the situation to Brother Lin. Upon learning there was someone on the boat, she immediately asked Brother Lin to come over quickly. After all, it was a stranger, and they weren’t sure about the person’s identity. If there was a problem, given their circumstances, they might not be able to handle it, so calling Brother Lin over was the safest option.

"It’s lucky enough he’s alive; coming here is his fortune." Lin Fan said.

"Oh, right, we found the ’Zombie Album’ on him, I think he came here because of knowing about the ’Zombie Album’." Tang Jiayu said.

Lin Fan replied, "When he wakes up, we can ask him properly."

Just as he was talking with Tang Jiayu.

A figure appeared at the door, unsteady, being supported by someone.

"He’s awake."

Lin Fan looked at this male survivor, who seemed to be in his thirties, very haggard, as if he had been through a lot of hardship and had been battered miserably.

"This... here... is..." The man was very weak, barely able to speak.

Lin Fan held his hand, "Don’t speak, listen to me, this is Tang Island, also the Sunshine Shelter of Huang City. We found the ’Zombie Album’ on your boat, you must have come looking for us. If you’re alone, close your eyes and sleep, everything is safe. If there’s anyone else you need me to rescue, just tell me the location, and I can go now."

The man stared intensely at Lin Fan, seemingly surprised at how adeptly Lin Fan handled things.

Tang Jiayu admired him, no wonder he was someone she looked up to. So simple and clear, explaining everything perfectly, without a single issue.

It was also the fastest way to solve things.

If the man was fine, he could just close his eyes and rest.

If there was an issue, just say the location directly.

The man shakily took out a piece of paper from his pocket, with a row of numbers on it.

Tang Jiayu said, "Brother Lin, this seems like a set of coordinates, wait, I’ll go check where this location is now."

When the man heard Tang Jiayu identified what the numbers on the paper were.

He couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Hoping it was not too late.

Before long, Tang Jiayu hurried back, holding a map, "Brother Lin, the location is here, it’s quite far..."

She was shocked, looking at the man.

He had come from the sea.

How had he managed to hold on to get here? Based on the residual supplies on that small boat, it wouldn’t have been able to support a journey that far.

"Okay, I’m going now."

Lin Fan took the map, checked the location, confirmed the direction, and without saying another word, he moved swiftly.

The man being supported suddenly heaved a huge sigh of relief.

When the apocalypse first descended, they were sailing on the sea, with thirteen people onboard, thankful that none had turned into zombies. They didn’t realize at first, but when they were heading back home to dock, they found the familiar city had become a city of zombies, scaring them to quickly flee back to the sea.

As they fled, the boat ran out of fuel, trapping them in the sea.

Fortunately, the boat had stored supplies, enough to keep them alive, but eventually, supplies would also run out, and when that time came, they would die just the same.

Later, drifting objects appeared, and they found the ’Zombie Album’.

It contained information about the Sunshine Shelter of Huang City.

Finally... when they were running desperately low on resources, he took the initiative to stand out and bring a little bit of supplies to see if the shelter really existed.

The journey was evidently filled with perils.

He had been through a lot.

Based on his estimation, the voyage probably lasted about nine days. During these nine days... it was uncertain what might have happened over there.
