Chapter 106: Chapter 077 Not Only Are We Trying Hard, Zombies Are Also Trying Hard_7 Lin Fan looked at Gu Hang, their gazes meeting. Gu Hang showed a slight smile. Lin Fan also smiled. "Brother Hang." The other guy was much older than him, so it was normal to call him ’brother.’ "Hmm?" "Focus on driving, or else it’s easy to have an accident." "Oh, right." Gu Hang realized and corrected his posture, looking at the road ahead. The brief silence in the car. Lin Fan said, "Do you have something on your mind? Feel free to speak up. Keeping worries to yourself isn’t easy, but you can also choose not to talk about it. After all, sharing painful things only makes you suffer while I can hardly empathize, offering only a word or two of comfort." Gu Hang hadn’t expected the other party to notice his troubled thoughts. "Have you thought about what you’re going to do in the future?" This was what he wanted to know. The old chief had told him that Lin Fan was a good person, highly moral, and able to distinguish right from wrong, so there was absolutely no need to worry about him. He might behave a bit oddly amidst the apocalypse, but in fact, he was sane. Just treat it like it’s not the end of the world, and it would be easy to understand. If he hadn’t heard the last sentence, he would have been rather confused. But the phrase, "Just treat it like it’s not the end of the world," made it completely clear to him. Lin Fan crossed his arms and pondered for a moment, "I’ll continue as before, but now I have a lot more opportunities. I used to be an interior designer. I made little money and had to work through the night. Now I work several part-time jobs. Security is my main job, and I also work as an intermediary employee, water treatment plant installer, and courier. I’m quite busy, which is fulfilling. Thinking about working hard, making money, buying things I like." Gu Hang was silent, then said, "Now is the apocalypse. If you see something you like, even if you take it, no one will come after you." This wasn’t the answer he was looking for. He wanted to know, with the capabilities you have now, if you thought about developing during the apocalypse and what heights you intended to reach ultimately. Lin Fan looked at Gu Hang in shock, as if seeing something unbelievable, "Brother Hang, you’re a soldier. You’re thinking a little oddly here. If you like something, you should get it through your own hard work. Simply taking it is not acceptable." "Cough cough..." Gu Hang coughed a few times. "Don’t think wrong. My thoughts are quite solid. What I mentioned are others’ situations during the apocalypse, understand?" "I understand, but others are others. I won’t do that. I will rely on my own effort, on my own hard work," Lin Fan said. Gu Hang paused for a moment, then nodded slowly, "Right, right, you’re correct." Soon. The sanitation department arrived. Just as Gu Hang was about to get out of the car, Lin Fan held him back. "Don’t get out yet. There’s a zombie following us, I’ll handle it first." Having said that. Lin Fan got out of the car and looked towards the distant zombie running towards them. "Wow, what a robust zombie, it’s really tall." In his eyes, that zombie might be three meters tall, running like a small hill moving. "When did it start following us?" Lin Fan fell into thought, he indeed hadn’t noticed it. Gu Hang looked at the zombie that was following them, his eyes almost popping out, "This zombie... is obviously not normal." As far as he knew. Zombies are all transformed from people, and while some might grow over two meters tall, to be as sturdy as this one at over two meters tall, it was utterly impossible. The distance was a bit far. Yet he still felt the oppressive force emanating from that zombie. He reminded Lin Fan to be careful as this zombie differed from ordinary ones, and there might be a mutation. He couldn’t be negligent, for his understanding of zombies wasn’t thorough, and the only thing he understood was that, in many zombie movies, the horror of mutated zombies lies in the mutation itself. Possibly at the moment of encounter, it might seem like there’s nothing, but suddenly countless spikes would burst out from its body, piercing through. These could be described as sudden attacks. Unpredictable indeed. "Brother Hang, thanks for the warning. I know, I’ll be careful," Lin Fan said with a smile. Then he looked towards the massive zombie about to reach him. This was the powerful zombie arranged by the base. It could easily overturn a several-ton sedan, and even a tank could be sent flying with a single strike. Lin Fan wanted to draw his sword but thought that the opponent’s body was too huge. If he were to split it in half, the thick blood inside the zombie would definitely be problematic. After some thought, he still pulled out Frostmourne from behind his back. "Heh heh... roar" The powerful zombie roared, its arms reaching out for Lin Fan. Just as it was about to touch him, Lin Fan instantly vanished and then appeared standing on the zombie’s arm, with Frostmourne pressed against the zombie’s forehead. Even the mindless zombie, faced with this situation, paused slightly, as if it was startled. Lin Fan pushed against the sword’s hilt with the palm of one hand. With a squelch, the sword’s tip pierced through the zombie’s head. It felt a slight resistance at first, just a faint sensation, and then it proceeded smoothly. [You have killed a powerful zombie] [Points +3] He stepped back. The zombie collapsed to the ground with a thunderous sound. Lin Fan flicked the blood off Frostmourne, feeling the sword looked even cooler. He went to the back of the water truck, picked up a spray gun, and washed the blood-stained area. Then he approached the front of the vehicle, "It’s all clear now, drive the truck inside." Inside the vehicle. Gu Hang watched in amazement. He had spoken so much to Lin Fan, hoping he would be a bit more cautious. He knew Lin Fan was strong, but even the strong can be careless, so he was nervous. But who could have imagined... Just this? Just this? He returned the water truck. He felt at peace. Everything was in order. On the way home. The two walked on the deserted streets, adding a bit of life to the desolate roads, but only a bit. "That zombie wasn’t an ordinary one," Gu Hang whispered. Lin Fan said, "No need to be so cautious. You can speak normally. With me here, I’ll protect you." Gu Hang looked at Lin Fan in astonishment. Those words... it had been a long time since someone had said them to him. In the past, it was always him saying ’I will protect you’ to others. Now, hearing them from someone else. It felt a bit unusual. It was the truth, though. "What’s wrong?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled. Gu Hang shook his head, "Nothing." Lin Fan smiled at Gu Hang. "Even though it’s the apocalypse, there’s still hope. Just earlier, I saw hope, feeling like it’s not just us fighting, but some zombies too," Lin Fan thought of the uniformed zombie. Gu Hang said, "Zombies?" "Exactly, a zombie sticking to its duties," Lin Fan nodded. Gu Hang: ... PS: About twelve thousand words.
