"Ah!"
Lin Fan slapped his forehead.
"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. What car did you guys drive here..."
"Hey, this, this..."
Chu Zhaozhao chuckled, pointing to an RV.
"Wow, life is beautiful. Who has the keys?"
"Mine... mine..."
Xu Qian, upon hearing Lin Fan ask about the keys, stepped forward and offered.
"Come on, drive forward... Eh? How many batteries does your RV have?"
The mention of RVs suddenly reminded Lin Fan that they should have a power bank. And not only that, the RV itself is a mobile generator...
Lin Fan had no partner or friends, and he never went camping, so naturally, he didn't know much about RVs. He couldn't tell what model a car was by looking at its exterior, so he asked.
"Battery?"
Chu Zhaozhao didn't know much about this, and just as Xu Qian drove over, she asked Xu Qian who was driving:
"Brother, let me know how many degrees of battery our car has..."
"Battery? Oh oh..."
Xu Qian was stunned by the sudden question, but he reacted immediately, turned off the engine and got out of the car, and said to Lin Fan timidly:
"Our rental is cheap... only 2 degrees..."
Hearing that it was only 2 degrees, Lin Fan couldn't help but curl his lips. 2 degrees of electricity is okay for emergencies, but even if the RV can generate electricity by itself, you can't go downstairs to start the engine and charge it every time... Seeing
Lin Fan's unfriendly expression, Xu Qian hurriedly continued:
"Brother Lin, that car is good. I saw that kind when I rented a car. That Iveco has at least 10 degrees of electricity..."
As he said that, he pointed to another RV in the gas station.
"Oh?"
Lin Fan heard the words and walked over to the car. He pulled on the door, finding it locked. He then looked at the two men.
"But there's no key. Have you seen where the driver went?"
"I know! I saw him!"
Chu Zhaozhao, who hadn't been able to speak before, quickly raised her hand to speak.
"It was a fat guy in a blue T-shirt. He drove in and looked at us. I remember it very clearly."
"Lin... Brother Lin! Zombies!"
Chu Zhaozhao had barely finished her words when she heard Chu Zhaotian's panicked voice from the distance. Then she saw him sprinting towards them from the side of the gas station, followed by three equally sprinting zombies a few dozen meters behind him.
"Brother!" Chu Zhaozhao, panicked at the sight of Chu Zhaotian being attacked, picked up a nearby iron pipe and rushed forward!
Lin Fan, startled by the sight, caught up to Chu Zhaozhao in a few steps, grabbed her by the scruff of the neck and pulled her back.
"What are you so anxious about? Get behind me!"
With that, he rushed towards Chu Zhaotian!
Regardless of whether Chu Zhaozhao could defeat him, even if she could, Lin Fan couldn't give her the 15 health points he had left!
At this time, Lin Fan's health had been restored to [296/370] by the activation crystal, and he still had [32] energy left.
He pulled out the short spear hanging from his waist. His right arm had almost recovered, and he could easily deal with three [300/300] zombies.
He avoided the fleeing Chu Zhaotian, grasped the short spear, swung his arms and swung it towards the head of the zombie running in front!
"Puff!"
[-300]!
Like smashing a rotten watermelon, the short spear smashed the first zombie's head almost without any hindrance.
The two zombies behind immediately changed their targets and rushed towards Lin Fan who was nearby.
Lin Fan, now equipped with an Activation Crystal for health recovery, was like possessing a permanent Wild Potion (Small) buff. His reaction speed and physical strength far surpassed those of ordinary zombies.
After easily dispatching the first one, Lin Fan unleashed a left kick!
[-20] ,
knocking one over.
Another right whip... a stick!
"Puff!"
[-300]!
The other zombie's head shattered!
Before the fallen one could get up, Lin Fan walked over and swung his hand!
"Sizzle!" A sharp, grinding sound!
The tip of the short spear sparked a trail of sparks on the concrete floor, severing the zombie's head in two and leaving a deep scratch on the concrete!
[-300]!
All easily killed!
Chu Zhaotian hadn't even reached the gas station's dome yet...
These few smooth moves resolved the battle, leaving the two watching from behind stunned.
"...Wow! Big brother is so awesome!"
Chu Zhaozhao had been running forward and was the closest to Lin Fan. Seeing the zombies being knocked down, she immediately rushed forward and clapped her hands excitedly.
Chu Zhaotian just turned around when he heard his sister's voice and was shocked and speechless.
The three zombies that were chasing him like the devil from hell were all killed in the few seconds when he and Lin Fan passed by!
Although he knew that Lin Fan had killed a group of zombies blocking the door before, he had never experienced it personally.
Is this... is this still a human?
Shocked, Chu Zhaotian silently made up his mind in his heart that from now on, if Lin Fan told him to go east, he would never go west, and if he told him to chase a dog, he would never chase a chicken.
He was originally a little resentful that Chu Zhaozhao always stuck to Lin Fan, but now he understood!
Zhaozhao is the wisest one among them!
In this world of cannibal zombies, having a leg up like this would instantly boost his chances of survival!
Besides, judging by his sister's condition, what if this leg up could become his brother-in-law...
"Hehe..."
Farther away, Xu Qian was also silently resolving to stay away from this killer once he reached the quarantine zone...
Lin Fan was wiping the blood off his spear from a fat zombie in a blue T-shirt, checking out the drops. They were just basic food and water, along with two [Tapes (Crafting Materials)]...
He'd been wanting to complain. What on earth was this crafting material for!
Since it's a [Crafting] [Materials], why don't you give me a blueprint or something?
Are you letting him DIY it?
He couldn't control what the ability dropped, so he could only proactively fight mutant zombies and things like that, relying on luck!
Anyway, that sharp blade could be used as a kitchen knife if nothing else, and scrap metal could be used to hit people. Such a large piece of metal...
"Brother! That's him!"
Chu Zhaozhao suddenly called out, interrupting Lin Fan's deep thought, as he stared at the body on the ground.
"Who?"
"The driver! The fat guy in the blue T-shirt!"
"Ah!"
Lin Fan reacted and quickly squatted down to feel around. Sure enough, he pulled out a pair of car keys from one of his trouser pockets.
He tossed the stained cigarette aside, rubbed the lighter and car keys against his body, and pressed the button towards the gas station...
Sure enough, the RV's lights flashed. It was him!
The driver's car keys were still covered in a key cap, and even after being caught in the rain, they still worked!
It was so easy to get them. Lin Fan turned to look at Chu Zhaotian, his eyes filled with admiration. This kid might be a little timid, but he's a lucky guy...
Turning around, he saw him standing there, grinning inexplicably.
"Is your brother scared silly?"
"It's okay, he's silly to begin with..."
Chu Zhaozhao replied.-+ With the key to the RV, the power supply problem was solved!
Since the RV was used to generate electricity directly, diesel was of little use except as fuel.
So Lin Fan asked Chu Zhaotian to continue to keep watch, and he took the two of them to empty all the boxes of windshield washer fluid placed outside the gas station, and filled the stainless steel barrels one by one with diesel.
5 boxes of 60 bottles of windshield washer fluid, exactly 120 liters.
Then refill the three empty barrels with gasoline.
8 barrels of gasoline totaled 320 liters, which should be enough to refuel the car.
Finally, the ordeal was over, and we had oil, electricity, and fuel. Except for some minor injuries suffered along the way, the purpose of this trip was perfectly achieved!
"Can you drive?" Lin Fan asked Chu Zhaozhao who was packing up the food.
"I have a license, but I don't know how to drive very well... My brother can! This car is taken turns by him, Xu Qian, and Li Tian!"
Chu Zhaozhao hesitated for a moment, and then betrayed her brother without hesitation.
But Chu Zhaotian was keeping watch at a distance, so Lin Fan drove another RV over and filled it with gas.
This RV does have a 10-degree power supply, and the internal facilities are much better than the one that Chu Zhaozhao and the others rented.
Not only are all the daily necessities complete, there are even a lot of outdoor camping equipment, and there is also a self-sustaining gasification diesel stove!
This thing is very useful whether it is used for cooking or heating.
After checking the spoils, Lin Fan said to Chu Zhaozhao,
"Then have your brother drive this car downstairs for me. I'm going to drive the van. I still have a lot of stuff in it... Then are you guys going back to school?"
"Huh?"
Chu Zhaozhao was confused by Lin Fan's question. They had agreed to stay together, so why were they going back to school?
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that staying together was indeed a voluntary idea of theirs. She hadn't discussed this matter directly with Lin Fan, so she approached him again, coaxing him in.
"Brother, are you going to the quarantine area too?"
"Ah..."
Lin Fan looked at her dirty little face as she leaned over and shrank his neck.
"Well... Brother, since you're going to the quarantine area too, can we go together?"
Chu Zhaozhao said, blinking her eyes.
"I'm not necessarily in a hurry to leave in these two days..."
Lin Fan still understood what she meant. It was like clinging to someone powerful, a win-win situation.
Moreover, even if he arrived at the quarantine area, he couldn't rely on Su Qing and him to handle everything alone. It would always be good to have three more obedient workers.
Moreover, after spending a day together, although one of them was stupid, one was foolish, and one was stubborn, they were obedient and malleable, which was better than a few old men with their own ulterior motives.
Moreover, Chu Zhaozhao's health bar was the same as Su Qing's, which was green. Although he didn't know the specific principle, Lin Fan intuitively believed that if she encountered the situation of those thieves downstairs that day, others would not dare to say it, but Chu Zhaozhao would definitely turn back!
"No hurry, no hurry, we're not in a hurry either..."
Chu Zhaozhao's head was shaking like an NPC with a bug. When he heard Lin Fan give in, he hurriedly agreed.
"Can you be the boss of them..."
Lin Fan raised his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of the other two people.
"My brother listens to me!"
Chu Zhaozhao said quickly, but as if he thought of something, he shouted to Xu Qian who was not far away,
"Xu Qian! Are you in a hurry to go back to school?"
Xu Qian was leaning against the RV, thinking about what he should do.
Although Chu Zhaozhao said that the three of them had to follow Lin Fan no matter what when they were eating in the morning, Chu Zhaotian and he still had some doubts, but after the battle with the three zombies just now, it proved that Chu Zhaozhao was right. This Lin Fan was terrifyingly powerful!
Suddenly, he heard Chu Zhaozhao ask a question and instinctively turned, saying,
"Isn't that the quarantine area? It's urgent..."
He turned to see Chu Zhaozhao's threatening gaze, her teeth gnashing. Glancing at Lin Fan beside her, he knew she was speaking for him. He quickly corrected himself, saying,
"No hurry... What's the hurry... No hurry..."
He offered the two of them a polite smile.
"Brother, he's not in a hurry either..."
Chu Zhaozhao, having gotten the answer she needed, immediately turned back to Lin Fan.
"...Okay then."
"But let's make a deal first. I'll find you a place to stay, and you'll take care of yourselves with food and drink. Don't count on me..."
"Go call your brother back. There's enough food at the gas station to last you a few days. The water's out outside. Load all the food, water, drinks, and candy into the cars. Fill up the two RVs with as much as you can. Go ahead, we'll be ready to go soon..."
"Okay, big brother!"
Chu Zhaozhao agreed energetically, then jogged towards Chu Zhaotian, who was patrolling in the distance.
All three cars were filled with gas. While the three were moving things, Lin Fan walked to the warehouse at the back and twisted the knob. The generator turned off, and the world became quiet again.
Thanks to Lin Fan's previous success in pulling monsters, only the three zombies lingering in the middle of the street had been attracted during this time...
Unfortunately, zombies are either just a few around, or they arrive in droves. If he could take on dozens of them in waves of three or four, his health would skyrocket...
After all, the last thing he needed right now was zombies.
He'd only lured away the zombies from the southern streets of the complex. The ones in the northern area were still fenced in, so there should still be quite a few left. He'd always find a way to replenish his health.
After checking the warehouse again to make sure there weren't any useful supplies left, Lin Fan found a large board and dragged it to the door, blocking most of it.
In case it rains again, don't let the water get in and damage the generator.
After finishing the cleanup, the energy was just depleted to 0, and the equipment of the activated crystal was removed.
At this time, Lin Fan's health had recovered to [350/385]. The scab on his stomach had not fallen off yet, but the pain was completely gone.
So he returned to the hall and packed up with the three people. However, the three people mainly took food and water, while Lin Fan mainly took some lighters, cigarettes, and strong liquor.
Seeing that the order of this world has been destroyed, currency has completely lost its value. In the future, when he goes to the quarantine zone, these non-renewable materials will be "money".
...
"One last check, pack all high-calorie, high-sugar, and high-protein foods..."
Xu Qian and Chu Zhaotian each closed the doors of the RV, which was already stuffed with supplies, and climbed into the driver's seat.
"You're all packed, big brother!"
"You're getting in the car after you've packed?"
Lin Fan looked at Chu Zhaozhao, who stood beside him, gazing into the distance, bewildered. Why was she here if she wasn't getting in her brother's car?
"Ah? I... I'll take a car with my brother!"
"Then you drive?"
I wanted to relax and experience the feeling of being behind the wheel, but suddenly I thought of the flammable and explosive items in my minivan, and a chill ran down my spine...
"Forget it, I'll drive..."
He turned and sat in the driver's seat of the van, looking helplessly at Chu Zhaozhao who had already sat next to him, reaching out his arm from the window and gently patting the door.
"Let's go!"-+ Chu Zhaozhao finally left the gas station where she'd been trapped for days, heading into a completely unknown world for her. She felt both nervous and excited.
"Brother, is your house far from here?"
"Is your house burned down?"
"Brother, your car is a total mess..."
Remember the domain name of the first website: 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞
"Brother, what do you do for a living?"
"Ka-ka!" The brakes slammed!
The van, which was already slow to begin with, screeched to a halt.
It wasn't because Lin Fan couldn't stand Chu Zhaozhao's nagging, but because he saw three zombies wandering in the middle of the road in the distance.
As soon as he stopped, Chu Zhaozhao finally stopped talking too. The two cars following behind him stopped as well, not knowing what had happened.
Lin Fan got out of the car and looked back. Seeing that there were no zombies following, he pulled out a short spear from the side of the window and said to Chu Zhaozhao.
"Go and tell them to wait here..."
After saying that, he walked towards the three zombies in the distance. If the car went any further, it might attract the zombies, and then it would be inconvenient to get out of the car. It would be better to kill them in advance.
...
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!
" "
Puff!" "Bang!
" "Pah!"
...
Lin Fan's health limit reached [400], and the quality of his body steadily improved as his health increased.
With his current physique and an activated crystal, even without drugs, he should be able to handle one or two small mutant dogs.
After wiping the blood off the spear on the corpse, Lin Fan walked back, waved to the car behind him, handed the spear to the co-driver Chu Zhaozhao, and continued driving towards home.
"Wow! It's so heavy!"
"Brother, this steel pipe must weigh at least 10 pounds!"
"You're just 'swoosh, swoosh, swoosh'..."
She reached out and pinched Lin Fan's arm,
"You don't feel that strong..."
"I should be able to lift this after I rest a little more..."
"Teach me how to kill the zombies, okay..."
Chu Zhaozhao started again...
...
At first, when Lin Fan was injured, he found her voice annoying because he was very tired and wanted to rest quietly.
But now, perhaps because he had returned with a great success and was in a good mood, he thought her voice sounded better.
As long as he could ignore the content of her words, the constant chattering in his ears was like a string of crystal windchimes hanging from the rearview mirror, each syllable emitting a clear and pure sound, yet with a hint of indifference to the world.
This was precisely why Lin Fan didn't rush her out of the car.
Although the distance was not far, due to the occasional obstacles on the road, Lin Fan and the others didn't drive too fast. After about ten minutes, they turned around at an intersection, and Lin Fan, as the first car, finally turned onto the street below the residential building.
Although he was only away for a day and a night, the approach of this street made him feel a sense of nervousness, and his hands on the steering wheel unconsciously tightened a little.
"Brother! Zombies!"
Chu Zhaozhao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly stopped chattering, tightened his grip on the steel pipe in his hand, and stared ahead.
"It's not a zombie, it's a human..."
Lin Fan said calmly, looking at the dense yellow blood strips in front of him.
Dozens of figures were running back and forth between the residential buildings and the shops in groups of three or five.
These figures were coming in and out of the first-floor windows of the buildings on the south or north side, like a group of ants carrying food.
When Lin Fan's van appeared at the intersection, many people stopped and turned to look in his direction.
As he continued to drive in, two RVs also turned into the intersection, and the crowd suddenly became excited!
"It's him..."
"He was the one who led the zombies away..."
"He was able to come back..."
"There are so many things in their car..."
"I saw it, he killed three zombies..."
"He took a lot of things from the supermarket..."
"He made two trips..."
"He seems to be the one who opened the pet clinic..."
"..."
As the convoy passed by, the people walking in the middle of the road subconsciously avoided it, and only the buzz of the crowd's discussion continued to reach the car from outside.
Most of them had pale faces, holding a few packs of instant noodles or a bag of rice in their hands that they had just brought from a store or the home of the resident on the first floor.
Since the interior of the RV was crammed with supplies, some water and whole boxes of snacks were piled on the passenger seat, which could be seen through the windshield.
Lin Fan felt very uncomfortable with the astonishment, envy, and greed of the people around him.
He had never thought that there were still so many living people hiding in the buildings facing the street...
It seemed that by leading the zombies away, he had indeed freed them.
Fortunately, he had taken a car with him in advance, and also had the supplies he got at the gas station.
Otherwise, at the speed they were raiding, these storefronts would probably have run out of food.
However, it didn't matter to him how many people there were. He would not offend others if they didn't offend him. He only wished that Su Qing hadn't gone downstairs and followed these people to mess around.
Lin Fan was about to swerve to avoid the two car wrecks in the middle of the road.
Suddenly, five or six figures armed with various weapons rushed out of the small supermarket and stood in front of Lin Fan's three cars. Each of their eyes was filled with naked enthusiasm and greed.
Their health bars were noticeably different from the others, mostly around 80 or 90.
Another four or five people were stationed at the entrance of the small supermarket, preventing anyone from entering.
Then, a bald man walked through the crowd and approached Lin Fan, holding a fire axe covered in blood in his hand. He looked at the two people in the car with a kind expression.
"Brother, don't be nervous, let's make friends and chat..."
The big man put his axe on the hood of Lin Fan's van and stammered, but said word by word:
"You came back from outside, made a fortune, right?"
"I... I heard you took a lot of things from my supermarket..."
"There are so... many people in our neighborhood, shouldn't you share some of the things in your car with... our brothers..."
"Crack—"
the bald man said as he scratched a deep scratch on the hood of Lin Fan's minivan with the fire axe in his hand...
Before Lin Fan could respond, Chu Zhaozhao, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was the first to react to the atmosphere and immediately retorted, "Why..."
But before she could finish, Lin Fan stretched out a hand in front of her, signaling her to let the bald man continue.
The bald man was indeed quite pleased with himself at this, his chin raised slightly as he continued,
"That little... little girl of yours was quite cruel, letting a zombie into... into the house..."
"We... we brothers can't get in, but you can't get in either..."
The bald man raised two fingers on his left hand and waved them in front of Lin Fan.
"If you know what's good for you, just... get out of the car and divide the supplies between our two cars..."
"Otherwise, don't blame... blame us brothers for being rude..."-+
Lin Fan's heart sank immediately after hearing his words.
He'd already guessed it from the rumors he'd heard from the crowd outside. Since they'd seen him taking so many things from the supermarket, there was no reason they couldn't have seen where he'd taken them... The
young woman the big man was referring to couldn't be Chu Zhaozhao, so it could only be...
Su Qing.
"Letting a zombie into the house? What do you mean..."
Lin Fan ignored the big man's question. He looked at him coldly and asked his own question.
He didn't know if he was frightened by Lin Fan's cold gaze, or if he was proud of having cut off his opponent's retreat.
The bald man winked, and a dark-skinned man immediately swooped over to him and said arrogantly to the car:
"What else could it mean? You took away all the food from the supermarket, so naturally we had to go to your house to borrow some food..."
"That woman not only refused to open the door, but also put the zombie into the first floor..."
The man said excitedly, almost sticking his face into the car.
"Fuck her, she's really crazy. She can think of such a vicious trick. It's a pity for that little woman..."
He said with a lewd smile,
"But this one is not bad..."
"Bang!"
[-99]!
There was a muffled sound, and the people outside didn't see what happened clearly. They only saw a dent on the dark-skinned man's face, and the whole person flew out and hit the curb, his life or death unknown.
Suddenly, cries of "Fuck!" erupted. The people in the cars surrounding Lin Fan and at the supermarket entrance all gathered around him, weapons in hand, staring nervously at him, but no one dared to approach.
"Wang... Brother Wang, it looks like Skinny Brother is dead..."
A younger brother crouched beside the thin, dark-skinned man who had been knocked flying, examined him, and whispered in the bald man's ear. His nervousness made him stutter like his boss.
The bald man's expression froze, and he quietly took a step back. He raised his axe and pointed it at the car window, saying,
"Kid! I know you're a bit of a fighter, but with so many of us here, you might not be able to handle it!"
His stuttering was so severe that it almost healed.
He'd heard before that this guy had single-handedly killed three zombies, and he'd thought he was just bragging. He'd never imagined he'd actually strike out, and with such force and ferocity!
He was the closest person to the car, aside from the skinny guy lying there. The skinny guy's face was clearly marked with a fist mark!
He'd only seen people being knocked flying by a single punch in movies...
The people surrounding the car tightly grasped their weapons, their greedy eyes now shrouded in fear. They pushed each other, the encirclement growing looser, and no one dared to move forward.
Words are useless; only broken bones can teach a lesson.
Even the crowd watching from afar retreated silently. Some of the smarter ones had already climbed through the first-floor windows on either side, their eyes peeking out from the corners.
Lin Fan sat in the car, silently looking at his fist, a wave of fear in his heart.
He hadn't intended to kill him with that blow just now. He hadn't expected living people to be so fragile, and their heads were far less tough than zombies.
Fortunately, he held back. If he had used all his strength, his head would have been shattered, and his brains would have splattered all over the car. This man was disgusting enough to begin with, and he almost killed him and made him disgusted.
"Ugh..."
He rubbed his fist against himself... and on Chu Zhaozhao's tattered coat beside him.
"Zhaozhao, what would the protagonist of the novel you read do in a moment like this?"
Chu Zhaozhao was not afraid to begin with. As long as Lin Fan was around, she was not afraid of anything.
Seeing Lin Fan's bold attack, and with just one punch, he sent a living person flying, the impact of this close-range power was even greater than the impact of killing three zombies in an instant!
"Ah? A novel?... Oh, this kind of situation..."
When she heard Lin Fan's question, she came back to her senses, tilted her head to think for a while, and said hesitantly:
"...pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?"
Lin Fan nodded after hearing it, he remembered it too.
But it was a little late to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger now, he had already killed everyone.
So he could take another route.
"Hide well."
He told Chu Zhaozhao, opened the car door with his backhand, closed the window, locked the car, and walked out of the encirclement.
The already scattered crowd retreated step by step in front of Lin Fan's steady steps and began to split.
The timid ones had quietly circled back to the bald boss from the left and right, making way for Lin Fan.
Only a few brave ones still held their weapons tightly, but they were forced to retreat again and again by Lin Fan's cold gaze, and no one dared to make a move.
Seeing Lin Fan walking straight towards the clinic, the bald man was a little confused at this time.
Even if Lin Fan was a martial arts master with supernatural powers, he would still be outnumbered. He had so many people, and if a few of them died, they would get less food. In short, he was doomed.
Moreover, these three cars could not escape here, so they frowned and watched to see what Lin Fan was up to.
He saw Lin Fan slowly walking downstairs to his house. There were several marks of prying under the roller shutter door of his pet clinic. The glass window on the side was also smashed, and several guardrails were broken.
Fortunately, the roller shutter was very sturdy, and also thanks to Su Qing...
"Sister Qing?"
Lin Fan called out to the third-floor window. With
that shout, the previously quiet roller shutter suddenly erupted with the low growls of several zombies! Then, the sound of "bang bang bang" of doors pounding came from inside the clinic. The roller shutter was constantly deformed and twisted outward, but it still wouldn't open!
Just as Lin Fan's heart was growing colder, the sliding window upstairs was opened with a "click".
"Little brother!"
Then a familiar little face poked its head out of the window, with an expression of unconcealable surprise on its face.
Su Qing looked at the figure of the man she had been thinking about day and night downstairs, covered her mouth with both hands, and couldn't help but shed tears.
But then, as if she had remembered something, she quickly threw the nylon rope out of the window and shouted anxiously:
"Little brother! Come up quickly!"
"They pried the door open, I opened the door to the corridor and let the zombies in! They didn't dare to come in!"
"Come up first and then we'll think of a solution!"
Looking at the green blood bar [92/100] above Su Qing's head upstairs, Lin Fan finally smiled and felt relieved.
Ever since the thugs mentioned Su Qing, Lin Fan's heart had been in suspense. Although he knew Su Qing was strong and brave, he hadn't expected her to be so mad.
To save her family's belongings, she'd even considered dumping the zombies from the neighborhood into the hallway—a plan to end their lives together.
Even the bravest of these thugs wouldn't dare pry open a door with a dozen zombies clearly inside.
He let the zombies into the hallway and then ran upstairs himself...
"Little brother! Come up quickly! We don't want the stuff in the car anymore!"
Seeing Su Qing still waving anxiously at him from upstairs, Lin Fan waved back.
"It's okay, Sister Qing. Throw down my two short spears. Be good..."
"Little brother, what are you doing?"
"I'm helping you clean up the trash..."
...
...
...
... ...
"This is 'Sister Qing'..."
Chu Zhaozhao looked up from a corner of the windshield at the long-haired beauty upstairs, a salty glint in his eyes.
Lin Fan looked up at the beautiful face he'd been with day and night, feeling a mixture of emotions. Those thugs had called this woman crazy...
crazy? Why did he seem to like her more and more the more he looked at her?
Su Qing, though puzzled by Lin Fan's words, hesitated for a moment before deciding to obey him, turning and disappearing through the window.
The bald man behind him, upon hearing Lin Fan's request for weapons, assumed he was going to fight to the death. He quickly stepped out from behind the crowd and shouted at Lin Fan,
"He... this fucking brat, he's giving you no respect! Brothers...brothers, go get him!"
But despite his fierce shouting, he didn't dare move forward.
"Go! What the hell are you doing! Go!"
Under his urging, the core members who had previously surrounded Lin Fan tightened their weapons and slowly closed in again.
"Sigh..."
Lin Fan thought silently as he watched this unfold. A top seller is always a top seller.
These people definitely weren't neighbors in the same building; they didn't even know each other. Yet, in just two days, this bald man had organized them all. He's quite talented. It's a shame they
're all just scum.
Several of them were holding steel pipes, machetes, and even the bald man's axe. Lin Fan could tell from the blood stains on them that some belonged to zombies, some not.
Amidst this chaotic crowd, these people were trying to seize the supermarket's prime location, inevitably leading to conflict.
He simply sensed an increase in the number of bodies nearby, their heads all smashed in. He couldn't tell which were the zombies from before and which were the residents they'd killed.
Just as he was thinking this, a steel pipe was tossed down. He caught it, then another.
Su Qing's concerned eyes appeared, watching the movements downstairs nervously.
Seeing Lin Fan armed, the men hesitated again, afraid to move forward.
Seeing this, the bald man finally became furious. How could he lead the team if this continued?
"Pah!" he spat, then, axe in hand, he advanced menacingly towards Lin Fan.
Seeing their big brother's move, the younger brothers seemed to have gained a backbone. They shouted and cursed, weapons raised, and charged at Lin Fan!
"Don't worry, this isn't for hitting you..."
Lin Fan said frivolously to the crowd approaching.
Although he had just killed someone, there was no indication of his health bar or the loot, which meant that killing was completely useless to him.
So why bother feeling disgusted?
So, for these scumbags, Lin Fan made the following arrangements...
He raised his short spear with both hands, knocked it twice with the "鐺鐺" sound, and then, with lightning speed, he threw both hands and smashed it towards the bottom of his clinic's roller shutter door!
The besieged crowd was horrified at this scene, their eyes wide with shock, speechless for a moment!
Even the bald boss hurriedly stopped:
"Scumbag brother! If you have something to say, let's talk it over... Damn! Crazy!"
With a loud "clang"!
The rolling shutter, already warped by the prying and crushed by the zombies, finally succumbed to the blow!
The lock core cracked!
With a snap, the entire metal door was lifted from its frame!
Gray eyeballs, withered skin, zombies streamed out of the torn shutter, madly rushing towards Lin Fan and the crowd behind him!
"Ah!"
"Fuck!"
"Psycho! " "
Help!"
The crowd, once united by the bald man, suddenly scattered like birds and beasts!
Pushing and colliding with each other, the scene was a chaotic mess!
Facing one or two zombies and ordinary people, these people still had the courage to fight, but facing a black mass of zombies that outnumbered them, these cowardly scum could only flee in panic!
Killing people didn't increase health points, so turning them into zombies was no problem!
This also completed the task that Su Qing couldn't complete, helping her vent her anger.
Double win!
That means winning twice!
...
Lin Fan casually parried a charging zombie, then turned and led the herd after the fleeing group behind him!
Lin Fan was even faster, shaking off the zombies and sprinting to the van.
Equipping his [Invisibility Crystal], he spun around and landed steadily on the van's roof.
The surrounding zombies immediately lost focus, glanced around, and then pursued the wailing thugs!
The ordinary people who had been watching the excitement from a distance had already fled into the residential buildings on both sides.
The zombies were chasing those who were carrying Lin Fan and surrounding the convoy.
What? You said you were standing so close just to watch the fun?
Ask the zombies if they believe it.
...
The sounds of screams, curses, and the low growls of zombies filled the air.
In a blink of an eye, most of the dozen-strong gang had been slain by the zombies. Only three or five remained, clinging to the iron bars on the first floors on either side, temporarily out of reach of the zombies.
Among them was the bald boss.
His axe was nowhere to be found, and he no longer had the swagger he once had. He clung to the railing of the first-floor balcony window, his head lowered, not daring to make a sound.
Several zombies were below him, clawing upwards, about to grab his feet. The big man was shaking like a sieve, his pants darkening, and he peed them out of fear.
Lin Fan stood on the roof of the van, feeling no pity.
Not to mention their atrocities of beating and killing ordinary people and hogging the food stalls.
Just look at them breaking into my house, bullying my Su Qing, and scratching my car!
How could I tolerate this?
Absolutely not!
If killing didn't increase my health bar, Lin Fan would have killed them long ago.
They'd offended the abbot and still wanted to leave?
A thought struck Lin Fan, and a metal nugget, slightly larger than his palm, materialized in his hand.
It was precisely "scrap metal." Ordinary zombies would explode with this stuff, and since it was useless anyway, throwing it away was no big deal.
He weighed it; it was neither light nor heavy, just as he'd imagined, perfect for hitting someone.
Lin Fan aimed, gathered his strength, and threw it with a whoosh!
"Pah!" The first-floor window shattered!
Damn, throw it the wrong way...
and again...
The sound of shattering glass attracted several more frantic zombies.
The zombies beneath the bald man doubled, their claws scrabbling upwards even more frantically, spurred on by the sound.
Startled by the sound of air breaking and glass shattering beside him, he nearly dropped it. He didn't care to keep quiet, screaming in fear.
"Brother! Brother!"
"Uncle! Dad! Dear Dad!"
"I was wrong, damn it!"
"Your Excellency...don't hold grudges!"
"I have food! I have food and water at home!"
"All for you! Spare me, Dad!"
He wailed in confusion, not knowing where Lin Fan was.
Who else would be so careless as to throw rocks at him now? Thinking about who he had just offended, it was no use guessing. My Dad... My dear Dad...
"Living Dad... Spare me..."
...
"Ugh..." "
No principles, disgusting."
Lin Fan aimed again and threw!
"Ah!"
The metal block slammed into the bald man's thigh. The bald man's footing slipped, and a zombie grabbed his ankle, stretched its neck, and bit down!
"Ah!!!"
"F***!"
"F*** you lunatic!!"
He was then pulled off the guardrail and overwhelmed by zombies...
"Feeling good..."
Lin Fan threw a few more curveballs, calling out the names of the other thugs clinging to the guardrail.
A wave of screams faded into the piles of zombies, and the surrounding streets were deserted.
From the buildings on both sides of the road, nervous eyes shot out from behind their windows onto the street below...
They didn't see Lin Fan on the roof of the car, only the zombies pouring out from behind the roller shutters, overwhelming everything on the street...
Chu Zhaotian and Xu Qian, hiding in the car, covered their mouths with their hands, trembling with fear. No matter how loud the screams outside, they didn't dare to look up. Chu Zhaozhao
crouched in the space under the passenger seat of the van, half of his head sticking out, looking at the chaotic street outside.
The originally tense atmosphere suddenly turned into a chaotic scene.
Remember the original website domain name: 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞.
She watched as zombies gathered in groups outside the van, feasting on some unfortunate individual they had captured. The van's poor soundproofing allowed the shredding of flesh and the screams of those still alive to fill her ears, making her feel a little uneasy.
But then she thought of how they had just aggressively surrounded the convoy, attempting to steal the goods, and she felt a tinge of laughter. However, fearing that a sound would attract the zombies, she dared not laugh out loud.
From upstairs, Su Qing watched the chaos below, her heart racing from nervousness to shock to disbelief.
Seeing the men surrounding Lin Fan being pursued by the zombies, facing imminent death, she expected to feel a pang of compassion, but unexpectedly, she felt a sense of calm.
The very men who had terrorized her, who had forced her to risk her life by letting the zombies into the building, ultimately perished at the hands of the very zombies they had allowed in.
This... can be considered as revenge with my own hands.
A chaotic sense of bewilderment and a hint of cold pleasure crept into her heart at the same time, making her a little overwhelmed. She had no choice
but to hold on to the windowsill with both hands, searching for Lin Fan's figure.
Although he had disappeared since the beginning of the chaos, Su Qing knew that he must be hiding in a car and would appear soon.
The screams on the street gradually subsided, and not long after, those who were being eaten by zombies also turned into zombies.
Some were missing an arm, even a shoulder; some were missing half a leg, with only a tibia sticking out of the ground; others had broken spines, with their entire heads drooping on their chests...
The more intact zombies among them slowly stood up, and the zombies that were originally surrounding and eating them also lost their target and wandered around, looking for new prey.
In the residential buildings on both sides, the eyes of several survivors dimmed.
"Damn it, it's all that stutterer's fault. Not satisfied with occupying the supermarket, he also had to steal someone's car. Now we're all doomed..."
A man, hiding under the windowsill on the second-floor balcony of Unit 5, peered out.
While there were fewer zombies on the street than before, there were still twenty or thirty, including those that had just stood up.
Even ten, let alone thirty, would be too much for them to handle.
"Sigh... The streets are full of zombies again, and we can't get out. We're done..."
Another man, sitting with his back to the wall, spoke bitterly, looking at a few bags of instant noodles he had finally found in a clothing store.
Many more people, either alone or in groups of strangers, crammed into a single room on the ground floor, didn't communicate, but they could see deep despair in each other's eyes...
"Huh? Look! It's that guy!"
A woman, looking out from the third floor of Unit 2 in the other building, suddenly called out, slapping her roommate, who was desperately covering her face.
The roommate stood up immediately, and together they leaned out the window to look out. Suddenly, a man in tattered clothes, clutching two silver-white steel pipes, appeared from the previously empty van.
It was the man who had confronted the thugs earlier!
He wasn't dead
! Not only that, he was standing on the van's roof, flexing his ankles and wrists, as if preparing to do something!
Not only them, but even more survivors in the buildings on either side noticed this and peered out their windows.
Some of them knew it was this man who had lured the zombies downstairs away!
He wasn't dead yet! That meant there might still be hope!
...
In less than ten minutes, the thugs, who had originally had no health bonuses and no loot drops, had successfully "upgraded" to normal zombies with both health bonuses and loot drops. It was truly a cause for celebration.
"One, two, three, four..."
Thirty-three red health bars floated in the field of vision.
Fortunately, the zombies weren't clustered together. The dozen or so people running around had broken the swarm into smaller groups of several individuals.
This also gave Lin Fan the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Now, as long as he was not surrounded by dozens of zombies and pinned to the ground, he could easily defeat a few zombies.
Seeing that his energy bar had recovered to [22], he thought about it and replaced the stealth crystal he was equipped with with an activation crystal. As
soon as the stealth effect was lifted, a zombie not far away immediately noticed Lin Fan on the roof of the car, but had not yet confirmed the target and just staggered towards him.
Feeling the activation buff taking effect, Lin Fan warmed up, jumped out of the car lightly, greeted Chu Zhaozhao who stuck his head out of the car, and rushed towards the zombie!
With a wave of his hands!
[-230]!
"Snap!"
[-300]!
"Puff!"
The zombie's neck was broken by Lin Fan's stick, and then he hit the zombie's head with a stick in the air!
...
"One, two, three..."
The woman on the third floor of Unit 2, who had first spotted Lin Fan, stared blankly downstairs, her eyes wide open, counting silently.
The man leaped from the car like a tiger among a flock of sheep. The zombies, once ferocious and demonic, which even the thugs had needed two or three men to kill, were now so vulnerable before him!
Those silver-gleaming steel pipes were no match for them!
...
At the first-floor window of Unit 2 next door, several heads were similarly gathered together, staring out with wide eyes.
"Nine, ten, eleven..."
"Oh my God..."
"Oh my God, Superman lives in our neighborhood..."
"It's Doctor Lin! I've seen him before... The dog, the dog's sick..."
Looking out the window, not far away, Lin Fan was pulverizing the zombies' heads like a meat grinder. The several people hiding inside exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh! It's bad! Look!"
one of them suddenly pointed into the distance.
...
"Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen!"
"Snap!"
Lin Fan's spear pierced the zombies' skulls like blackened rotten tomatoes!
This was the fourth pile, and there were about three more to go...
"Huh?"
For some reason, the zombies that had been gathered in groups of three or five, perhaps attracted by the sound of his fighting, rushed over from a distance!
"There must be more than a dozen..."
He checked his health [445/475]...
"Should be fine. Give it a try. I still have armor crystals, so I can test their effectiveness..."
