Chapter 74: Chapter 069: Hello, my name is Lin Fan, I’ve come to pick you up. "Such a long distance, and it’s a good thing the boss’s wife is a loving person. The electric bike she bought him is just great." Lin Fan stroked the sleek electric bike. To say whether he envied it or not. He definitely felt a bit envious, but he believed that with his own efforts he would surely have his own electric bike, and even his own car. Considering his current monthly salary as a security guard, buying an electric bike was definitely not a problem. But after buying it, his expenditures would be affected, not to mention that he was also raising Mengmeng. Kids are expensive—the diapers, formula, clothes, and all the miscellaneous stuff add up to an unimaginable total. "Eh!" Just then. He heard a rasping sound. A zombie in the distance had its eyes on him. "What a weird zombie." Lin Fan murmured to himself, seeing a spider-like zombie for the first time; it felt strange. It looked somewhat like a person but not quite—a bit of an oddity overall. "Hello." He waved a hand. Greeting it. Whether encountering humans or zombies, he always greeted them with a friendly smile. Basic manners. After a thorough observation. The zombie in front of him must have been male before turning. Despite the distorted visage covered in viscous fluid, he saw something peculiar dangling there. It wasn’t out of an interest in such things, but observing intricately was a habit of his. "Hehe... roar." The spider-like zombie locked eyes with Lin Fan, no longer bothered with the dog—it wouldn’t even suffice to get stuck in its teeth; it obviously preferred larger prey. Without a second thought. The creature moved its limbs rapidly and lunged at Lin Fan. "Ah!" Lin Fan sighed, readied his electric bike, took off his helmet, shook his head, and faced the charging zombie. He was completely unruffled, even serenely communicating with it. "Don’t be rash, I mean you no harm, but if you attack me, I will defend myself." He had said these words to who knows how many zombies before. But alas... to date, not one had heeded his words. As the spider-like zombie was nearly upon Lin Fan, it leaped into the air, pouncing in a flash, hoping to pin him down and tear at him savagely. "When danger arrives, and I can’t prevent their acts of violence, the only thing to do is defend myself, to ensure my own safety." Lin Fan raised his hand, gripping the hilt of Frostmourne, the sword that famously slew its maker in wickedness. Swish! A flash of the sword. A strong gust blew by, and if you listened closely, you could even hear the sword’s cry. Spurt! The airborne spider-like zombie’s head split open; looking closely, one could see a crystal inside, but the crystal had been cleaved in two by the sword, with some material adhering to Frostmourne. Right then. The cracks spread further back, and the body of the spider-like zombie was instantly split in two, falling behind him. [Killed a speed-type zombie] [Points +3] "I’ve said not to attack me randomly; it’s dangerous, you know." Lin Fan flicked the blade of Frostmourne, the black viscous fluid splattering on the ground. He didn’t take this strange zombie seriously. Now, he was just checking to see if there were any survivors at the water plant. Old Master Wang once said. That the plant has access to clean water because there are survivors managing it. For such survivors. He had great respect. On reflection, their dedication was extraordinary. Moreover, that dedication came with a sort of spirit, a spirit he once had to learn—a spirit not connected to one’s monthly salary. "Woof woof..." A local breed dog wagged its tail and approached Lin Fan. Dogs are very smart animals. It knew Lin Fan wasn’t a zombie. "What a cute dog." Lin Fan smiled, petting the dog’s head, and when he saw the phone strapped to its body, he asked, "Can you lead me to the survivors here?" "Woof woof..." The dog seemed to understand what Lin Fan was saying, wagging its tail and running inside, even stopping to wait for Lin Fan, hoping he could keep up. Entering the water plant, they passed by the security room. "I’ll sign in." Arriving at the security room, even though there was no guard, the necessary procedures still had to be followed; it was the rule, and it was inevitable. Name: Lin Fan. Phone Number: ... Looking for: Survivors The registration took a bit longer, and after finishing, he chased after the dog. The electric bike could be left outside, after all, he wasn’t an employee here; the bike probably wasn’t allowed inside. He left it unlocked outside, trusting the people nowadays. There was definitely no one who would be greedy for an electric bike. Following the shadow of the dog, they encountered some zombies wearing the water plant uniforms, but the clothing was so dirty that its original color was unrecognizable. Upon seeing Lin Fan. The zombies’ ferocity burst out completely, their faces twisting grotesquely as they clawed and lunged at him, for to these zombies, the flesh before them was the most delicious. Lin Fan was coolly indifferent. He swung his sword, cutting them down. To ordinary people, these horrifying zombies were extremely simple in his eyes. As he followed the dog, only the group of zombies ended up lying quietly on the ground. The enclosed room was empty. The dog was anxiously spinning in circles, not seeing its owner. Sniffing the air for scents. "Woof woof..." The dog barked for Lin Fan. "Hmm, I’ll follow you. You lead the way," Lin Fan acknowledged the dog’s intention. He was a clever mutt, and even though he didn’t seem too bright, Lin Fan thought he was actually very smart. The chlorine room. Wang Kai, exhausted, slumped behind the door. There had been no sound outside for a while now, but he was too afraid to leave. He feared that upon opening the door, he would be greeted by a zombie standing right outside, waiting for him. He couldn’t just stay there, either. Otherwise, there would be no one to let Mengmeng in. Just then. He heard footsteps from outside. Wang Kai stared with bloodshot eyes, fearfully covering his mouth to avoid making any noise and alerting the zombies that someone was inside. His spirit was on the verge of breaking under the torment. He prayed internally. Buddha, Jade Emperor, please protect me, I’m really scared. Woof woof! Dog barks. Very familiar. He knew Mengmeng’s bark all too well. Impossible. Mengmeng wouldn’t be here. It must be a hallucination. Suddenly. A voice rose outside the door. "Is anyone there?" Ah... Wang Kai’s breath grew rapid as his mouth hung open. Had his hallucinations become this intense? He wanted to open the door, his hands already on the doorknob, while voices in his head kept telling him it was all a figment of his imagination, a hallucination; don’t open the door, for on the other side awaited zombies. "Woof woof..." "Is anybody there? I’m Lin Fan, the security guard from Sunshine District, searching for survivors. If there’s someone inside, please open the door. I mean no harm; I’m a good person." Lin Fan stood patiently at the door, engaging in conversation. He knew the person inside was confused, in pain, afraid of the dangers outside. He was willing to give them time to collect themselves. Time was often the best medicine to heal inner wounds. Inside, Wang Kai gripped the doorknob with both hands, mustering the courage to twist it, preparing to face what he believed to be an illusion—false or true, in certain situations, giving up might be a good choice. The door opened, and instead of the expected assault, biting, pain, and despair, he saw a stranger’s smiling face. He watched as the other person extended their hand towards him. "Hello, I’m Lin Fan." "I’ve come to get you."
