I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

Chapter 248: Killing Me Is Useless—There Exists a Being Stronger Than Me There (5)



Lin Fan smiled and said, "Nothing is impossible. Humanity often grows in desperate situations. When the apocalypse arrives, humans wail in despair, but heaven is fair. In moments of despair, new hope often emerges."

"And I am one of those hopes."

"Come, let me see your abilities. I have already captured your appearance, and it will be permanently recorded in the 'Zombie Album.'"

He raised the Frostmourne, pointing its tip at the opponent, wanting to see what kind of skills this Creator, who resembled a worm, possessed.

Sure enough, the Creator couldn't understand his meaning.

It continued manipulating the bits of rubble on the ground, striking at him like bullets.

"This is useless. Do you not have any other abilities?"

Lin Fan dodged with ease, casually avoiding the rubble.

The Creator probably also realized this was futile. Its mouth, like a chrysanthemum, sprayed sticky liquid, and at the same time, unknown creatures emerged. They were palm-sized, resembling spiders, quickly crawling toward him.

"That's disgusting, what are these things?"

Lin Fan frowned, piercing one with a sword, lifting it up to inspect. Yet, he couldn't identify what it was, and even after killing it, there was no notification.

It seems these are the strange creatures created by the Creator here.

Capture an image of these bizarre things.

They need to be documented in the album.

"Are there any other abilities?" Lin Fan questioned.

The Creator, feeling frustrated and embarrassed by Lin Fan's actions, had never been this angry before. Even when driven out from its territory, it was only slightly disadvantaged, but the human in front of it was purely mocking him.

It seemed to have exhausted its abilities.

The sense of helplessness and defeat made the Creator slowly say, "Human, you truly deserve to die."

Lin Fan shook his head, "It seems that's all, really a pity. As a Creator, you only have these few tricks. I feel like you're possibly the weakest of all the Creators I've encountered."

"Or does the evolution of zombies, even becoming a Creator, require maintaining a basic human form? Otherwise, turning into a monster like you can be considered a form of evolutionary failure?"

Lin Fan recalled the humanoid Creators he had encountered in the past, they were all outstanding.

They all had strong powers, truly worthy of the title of Creator.

"In that case, let me send you away."

Lin Fan prepared to deal with it decisively.

But at this moment, as if the Creator thought of a way to retaliate, it said, "Haha, ridiculous human, you think killing me will eradicate zombies? Impossible. In the city not far from here, there's a Creator stronger than me."

Hearing this, Lin Fan asked, "The city not far away, which direction is this city you mentioned?"

"Over there, go ahead if you dare, but as for me… it's impossible for you to kill me." The Creator's limbs on its abdomen crossed abruptly, moving rapidly into the distance.

"Really…" Lin Fan smiled and shook his head, swinging his sword fiercely. A sword radiance sliced through the air, cutting the Creator's body in half with a splat.

[Killed Worm Corpse]

[Points +90]

It seemed exactly as he had thought, really just an ordinary Creator.

In the distance.

The father-son duo, seeing all the zombies eliminated, stood up in shock, looking at the situation before them.

"Dad, what I just saw… was that Sword Radiance, like in martial arts novels where those skilled in Inner Strength send out Sword Radiance with a swing?" the boy exclaimed in shock.

"No, those are special effects."

"But dad, I saw it."

"Hmm, what you just saw is indeed the reality."

In this lifetime, the most shocking thing so far was the arrival of the apocalypse, and now it was witnessing someone emit Sword Radiance with a single strike.

They headed toward Lin Fan.

Lin Fan approached the Creator's remains, casually searching through the flesh, and found a Purple Crystal, one of the most valuable today.

The only pity is… no Awakener can use these yet.

The harvest this time was significant.

The area was filled with crystals from Evolutionary Zombies, which was a substantial haul, and discovering that there was another Creator in a nearby city was indeed a delightful surprise.

If the Creator residing in that city knew it had already been betrayed,

it would surely go mad.

Darn it, I just occupied your territory, and you led such terrifying humans to me? Did you really have to go this far? If you were dissatisfied, why didn't you just say so, I could've returned the territory to you.

If Cui Xiaofei and the others saw the Creator's corpse, they would surely be extremely greedy.

A Creator is not something they could hunt.

If they knew the Creator's corpse was left to decompose in the wilderness, they'd surely think… it would be great for us.

"You… hello."

A slightly nervous greeting came.

Lin Fan glanced at the two in front of him with a smile, "Hello, it's alright now, everything has ended."

The man nodded frantically, "Yes, I see, indeed it's over. May I ask, are you really from Huang City?"

To the man, it was truly unbelievable.

Huang City…

It's very far from here, considering that the journey seemed to have taken little time for him to reach here.

Lin Fan replied, "Yes, I came from Huang City. Don't be surprised, it's a normal thing. By the way, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Go ahead," the man quickly replied, not just one favor, even a hundred favors, he wouldn't hesitate to do as long as he could accomplish them.

"Help me collect some crystals, the ones inside the zombies' heads. Once we're done collecting, I'll take you back to the Sunshine Shelter," Lin Fan said.

"Alright."

Then they began to busy themselves.

Though cutting up zombies like this was disgusting, for the man, it was something he had grown accustomed to.

After a brief conversation,

Lin Fan already knew their names and that they were father and son.

He was glad they had survived until now.

Maybe this father-son duo was the chosen ones in legend during times of disaster, always able to survive amidst endless catastrophes.

After a long while,

the crystals were collected, and then he took the father and son back to Huang City. On the way back, the father and son gasped in amazement, finding it unbelievable.

The speed of running, the height of jumping, it was truly terrifying.

Is this something a human can do?

In the past, without witnessing it firsthand, he would never have believed it, but now having experienced it personally, he deeply understood… this world was becoming more and more fantastical.

Zombie Album, that's right, the Zombie Album. Lin Fan told him that after returning to the Sunshine Shelter, he could examine it carefully to understand the current situation.

...

Qin City.

Lin Fan appeared on the rooftop of a building. After dropping the two survivors at the Sunshine Shelter, he immediately returned.

Any encounter with a Creator must be resolved.

Every Creator was a catastrophic existence for survivors. Although Qin City was far from Huang City, dealing with it could resolve many issues.

Looking at the devastated city in front of him, many high-rise buildings had collapsed, already turning into ruins.

Judging by the situation, it seemed as if zombies had destroyed it.

After all, the quality of the structures was good, how could they just collapse so easily?

Slowly, he took the Frostmourne from his back.

"Unknown Creator, where are you? I'm here to find you."

Lin Fan easily leaped up, landing on a nearby building, scanning the surroundings, searching for the most likely location of the Creator.
