I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

"Sunshine Shelter in Huang City, Lin Fan."

Li Long spoke each word slowly, forcibly restraining his trembling body, suppressing his fear.

Indeed, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

But the content in the "Zombie Album" was very clear. Photos, texts, as long as you're not blind, anyone can understand.

"Hello, I'm sorry, they attacked me. When my persuasion failed, I had to automatically counterattack, so their deaths have nothing to do with me."

Lin Fan explained, to avoid being seen as a crazed killer.

Driver: ...

Man in black: ...

There's no need for that, kill if you want, why bother finding such meaningless excuses.

Could anyone possibly blame you?

Li Long stared directly at Lin Fan, "What do you want?"

When Lin Fan appeared outside the base, his heart had already turned cold.

Lin Fan shook his head and said, "It's not about what I want, rather you should ask yourself, what have you done in the apocalypse."

Gazing into the other's eyes, peering into the other's heart, he could see violence, cruelty, and fierceness.

In the apocalypse, the other party had done many bad things.

The survivors who were originally at a loss, thought that coming to the base would bring a safe life, but in reality, it was just jumping from one fire pit into a more dangerous one.

Still, they were harmed by the trusted compatriots.

"What did I do? I did nothing. I was just trying to survive in the base, yet you came here and massacred us struggling to survive. I should be the one asking, what do you want to do."

Li Long glared angrily at Lin Fan, seeming to vent his grievances, shifting all the blame onto Lin Fan.

Lin Fan was somewhat dumbfounded by what he heard.

He had considered various possibilities, but never thought the other party would say something like this.

Even the two members of Qin Ling's organization were dumbfoundedly looking at Li Long, wondering what kind of mindset could say such things.

"Are you taking me for a fool?"

Lin Fan felt there was a strong possibility, thinking back on his actions all along, how he treated everyone so kindly, perhaps this behavior led some to think he was easily fooled.

Li Long defended, "No, I'm just speaking the truth. Look back at those people in the passageway, they're just trying to survive in the apocalypse, what wrong could they do? The apocalypse is cruel; who knows who's reliable? Do you think everyone is worth trusting?"

"So you deceived some survivors and sold them to Qin Ling's organization for research, right?" Lin Fan asked.

Many people alive didn't die by zombies but by their own kind.

It shouldn't be like this.

The apocalypse is indeed terrifying, but if those alive could unite, hope would always exist, and things wouldn't reach a dead end.

But unfortunately, there are few who can achieve this.

Li Long laughed, "What are you talking about, where's the research? We're just sending them to a safer place, that's all. Words can't be spoken carelessly, if others aren't reliable, at least we are, right?"

"Sigh." Lin Fan shook his head, pointing at his eyes, "I believe in my eyes, and I also believe the information your eyes convey to me. Come with me, I think your fate is already decided."

After saying this, he just walked towards Lin Fan.

"Stop right there." Li Long roared, the potion already pressed against his arm, "Damn it, I know you're strong, but I'm not someone who gives up easily. It's my bad luck you found me here. I've always heard you're very powerful, I want to see, just how powerful you are."

"Professor Jin, I trust you can give me strength."

"Ah..."

With a low growl, he suddenly plunged the potion into his arm fiercely.

The liquid in the coiled tube was injected.

Lin Fan frowned, knowing the circumstances of some potions. Since Professor Xia extracted some things from the bodies of Awakeners and zombies, the situation had quietly changed.

Some humans didn't want to walk the path of the Awakeners, instead thinking of taking shortcuts to gain more power. But this path was dangerous, just like those guys who caused trouble at the Sunshine Shelter, who eventually gave up even a human form and completely turned into monsters.

"Who knows the outcome of injecting the potion, are you willing to abandon even your human identity in the end?"

Lin Fan couldn't comprehend the other's thoughts, watching Li Long support himself with his hands on the ground, face full of agony, truly not understanding his thinking.

"Heh heh." Li Long tilted his head up, with eyes that turned into a black-and-white color, his eye sockets gradually showing red threads, staring savagely at Lin Fan, "Are you going to give me a chance? When you found this place, I already knew what the result would be, but it doesn't matter, maybe I can still survive."

The moment his words fell.

Li Long's body began to swell.

"Power, I want power, the surging power in my body is boiling..."

The nearby Wu Dongliang was frightened by the changes in Li Long's body and retreated backward; this was no longer a normal person's transformation.

Puchi!

Li Long's arm underwent changes, the skin on the hand broke open, exposing raw flesh, its girth doubling from before, with nails turning into sharp claws.

Gradually.

Not only the skin on the arm peeled off, but the skin on the body also gradually peeled off.

Strange growls roared out from Li Long's throat, "Power, I want more power, it's not enough, still far from enough."
