I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

"Snap out of it."

Huo Fen shouted.

The shocked team members shivered suddenly, gradually coming back to their senses. Then, they saw the captain's gesture and pointed their gun muzzles at the ground.

Huo Fen walked towards Lin Fan. Indeed, what he said made a lot of sense. Given the current situation, if they really intended to do something to them, could they even resist?

Clearly, they couldn't resist.

He believed in the other party's statement.

He walked up to Lin Fan.

"Hello, I'm Huo Fen." He extended his hand with a friendly greeting.

"Hello, Lin Fan."

Lin Fan shook hands with him; this was a friendly beginning. He could see a determined gaze in the other party's eyes, a gaze that did not abandon the future despite unimaginable hardships in the apocalypse.

Huo Fen pointed at his teammates behind him and said, "We are the Apocalyptic Resistance Army, and I am their captain. In a war against zombies, our small team got scattered, and now we are looking for the main force."

"Apocalyptic Resistance Army?" Lin Fan did not expect that such an entity existed in the apocalypse.

He knew that Team Lei also had a complete army, but in the confrontation with zombies during the apocalypse, they suffered heavy losses and countless casualties. The threat of zombies was more terrifying than they had imagined.

Huo Fen explained, "The Resistance Army is composed of scattered soldiers and a group of aspiring individuals who are determined to kill all zombies and bring the country back to a stable path. Although this road is difficult, we have always persisted."

After hearing what they said.

Lin Fan felt a deep sense of admiration.

He looked at the resistance army standing behind Huo Fen. On everyone's face was the wear and tear from wind and frost, but even though fatigue surrounded them, their energy and spirit were abundant, filled with a longing for the future.

"Have you ever thought about going to the Sunshine Shelter in Huang City? There's a stable life there, and I've cleared the zombies around," Lin Fan invited them.

After careful observation, this group of people were all ordinary individuals, with no Awakeners among them.

They were all flesh and blood.

The only advantage was having weapons.

Weapons were useful against ordinary zombies, but their effect was minimal against Evolutionary Zombies.

Other survivors regarded Lin Fan as hope, but Lin Fan saw this group, always resisting the apocalypse, as the true hope in the end times.

Huo Fen said, "Thank you for your invitation, but we need to reunite with the main force. I know you're very powerful, and I know the Sunshine Shelter in Huang City must be very safe, but safety is not what we need. The country's territory is too vast, and there are many people who need our help and many zombies that need clearing in places we don't know. If we stay in Huang City, the main force's strength will be weakened."

After saying this, he looked at his team members behind him.

"Decide for yourselves. If anyone wants to go to Huang City, I won't stop you. I can understand; you've really sacrificed a lot during this time."

Huo Fen understood the danger outside.

He also understood how terrifying the zombies were.

But fear wouldn't solve the problem.

"We'll follow the captain's decision. We have to reunite with the main force and fight the zombies to the end."

"That's right. It's rare to have a chance for revenge. Even if I die, I won't be afraid."

"We must fight those damned zombies."

Every face bore a resolute look.

There was no hint of fear.

Lin Fan was deeply moved watching them.

He recalled a question that once appeared online.

[If you were captured by the Anti-Japanese Organization, how could you refuse to betray the organization and teammates like a martyr?]

Facing such a question requires serious consideration.

Could you hold on?

Ninety-nine percent or even one hundred percent of modern people couldn't stand it.

It's not that modern people are incapable but lack the crucial element—an intense hatred for the invader.

Imagine if you were bound and forced to watch as your parents were beheaded, their heads with tendons hung before you like play balls.

Your wife was pinned naked to a table by a military knife, tormented by a queue of enemies.

Your child was impaled through the chest and lifted, blood flowing from the gunstock down onto your head.

In such a situation, would you cower? Would you beg for mercy?

No, absolutely not.

You would be desperate to kill them. Having an organization and teammates to avenge you, you would definitely not betray them.

So...

The resistance members before him bore a deep hatred for the zombies.

They watched their family being bitten to death by zombies with their own eyes.

They watched their beautiful home destroyed by zombies with their own eyes.

Their intentions were equally simple: to kill zombies.

Not one member withdrew.

Lin Fan gazed at them. He had so much to say; he wanted to tell them that such actions were really dangerous and that any misstep could lead to complete annihilation.

But he knew that for them now, death was no longer the most terrifying thing.

When they chose to fight the zombies head-on, they were already prepared. If sacrificing their lives could take down some zombies, they might feel it was worth it.

Lin Fan felt he had to do something, not for himself, but for them, for this group of selfless people.

"Officer Huang."

He called out.

Officer Huang walked over, hearing the voice.

Huo Fen and his team didn't know Officer Huang's background.

Officer Huang stood beside Lin Fan, his eyes hidden within his war armor, gazing at the others.
