I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

Lin Fan never thought that a new type of Awakener would appear.

The ability to heal injuries.

No... or perhaps it's better to say the ability to resurrect; such injuries are close to death and basically incurable, yet the little girl's ability hadn't improved but could have this effect. It's truly baffling.

Zhou Xiao left first with Tutu to let the only old doctor in Qingshui Town check on her.

"Is the culprit gone?" Huo Fen asked.

Lin Fan said, "Yes, it's already over. Not too far from here, there's an artificial shelter hidden in the mountains. Its gate was forcibly breached by an external force, becoming a gathering place for zombies and occupied by a mature Spiritual Zombie. Fortunately, it's just a mature Spiritual Zombie. If it were a Creator, the consequences would be unimaginable."

If the Creator wanted to take over Qingshui Town,

it wouldn't need to wait for him to come, it would be completely finished.

The Creator's power is too terrifying, not something ordinary survivors could handle.

But that mature Spiritual Zombie is somewhat interesting. Hiding inside, thinking it's safe with zombies guarding it—if it were a long time ago, Lin Fan would have exclaimed, "What a terrifying zombie."

But ever since interacting with different Creators,

he no longer felt those zombies were that frightening.

"It's truly something to be thankful for," Huo Fen sighed.

Beside him, Liu Tao gazed blankly at the conversation between the two. He was relatively unfamiliar with Lin Fan, yet Huo Fen was talking fluently with him. Liu Tao felt Huo Fen seemed somewhat unfamiliar to him as well.

Why did it seem like Huo Fen knew much more than he did?

A puzzled gaze.

Huo Fen noticed Liu Tao's confusion and said, "Lin Fan, let me introduce you. This is Liu Tao, the leader of our resistance."

"Hello, Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter, Huang City," Lin Fan greeted him. It was truly something to be thankful for that such people still existed in the apocalyptic times.

There's not much need to say about the apocalypse.

The human heart can be treacherous.

Survival is the sole thought in many people's minds.

Some might even survive but feel living alone is meaningless, leading them to do terrifying things that harm others. Lin Fan didn't wish to associate with such survivors, but if he encountered them, he would never allow them to act recklessly.

"Hello."

Liu Tao shook hands with Lin Fan. Thinking of the terrifying power Lin Fan had exhibited, Liu Tao felt that the person standing before him was more than just human; perhaps he could even be introduced as a deity, as Huo Fen had said.

Lin Fan said, "Huo Fen told me about your situation. I deeply admire it. Many people lost faith with the advent of the apocalypse, sinking into despair, but with your presence, I believe the end-times will end, and the hope for peace will shine brightly like a ray of sunshine, fully blooming across this land."

"No, we're just doing what we should be doing. The current situation requires someone to stand up; hiding somewhere is just waiting to die."

Liu Tao knew this wasn't a simple task. Zombies in the apocalypse are fierce beasts without reason; encountering zombies means mutual slaughter, either you die, or I perish.

Listening to what the other was saying,

Lin Fan nodded in deep agreement. It was indeed so. Those survivors he had encountered had the same thought.

If you don't do it, no one else will.

The result of no one doing anything is waiting for death.

Humanity will become extinct in the apocalypse.

Completely vanish from the planet.

At this moment,

Fang Zhan arrived from afar. He had already instructed the townspeople to care for the wounded. The battle had been intense; they initially thought Qingshui Town would disappear amidst the attack of the zombie horde, but they hadn't expected such a twist in the end.

He looked at Lin Fan with an unusual gaze.

It was the worship and awe as if looking at a deity.

Lin Fan nodded towards him and said, "I came here because I received a distress call from Huo Fen. I rushed over from Huang City, unwilling to see humans die at the hands of zombies. At the same time, I didn't expect so many people still alive in Qingshui Town. My thought is to take the ordinary townspeople of Qingshui Town to live in Sunshine Shelter, Huang City."

"The zombies we face are no longer those ordinary ones from before; the evolving zombies are terrifying, not something ordinary walls can block."

He expressed his thoughts.

Fang Zhan's eyes brightened. He was willing to let the townspeople of Qingshui Town live in Sunshine Shelter, Huang City.

Having someone as god-like as him guarding,

it would certainly be safe.

"I'm the mayor elected later in Qingshui Town. I am willing to have the townspeople go to Sunshine Shelter, Huang City," Fang Zhan quickly said.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "As long as you are willing to go, Sunshine Shelter in Huang City will always be open to you."

"Is there any requirement?" Fang Zhan asked. In his view, such an apocalyptic shelter must have stringent requirements, not just anyone could go there.

To ensure everyone's safety in getting there, he was willing to do anything.

Lin Fan laughed, "No requirements, as long as you're an ordinary citizen."

Ordinary citizens?

An unexpected answer.

He looked at Lin Fan, wanting to know if this was a joke. However, seeing Lin Fan speak seriously, it didn't seem like a joke at all.

Fang Zhan just didn't think deeply,

that what Lin Fan referred to as ordinary citizens seemed simple but in the apocalypse, "ordinary citizens" were already very rare, and meeting such requirements was indeed difficult.
