He had thought it was Officer Huang.
a sharp cry emanated from the basement.
It sounded like the wailing of a baby.
The surrounding zombies seemed to be affected, scattering towards the alleys around them, and quickly disappearing from sight.
Facing the unknown mystery of this place,
the best approach for any cautious person would be to not wander around and to leave quietly; such places are obviously not benign.
"Sunshine District is our city; there isn’t a place I can’t go to."
the viscous ground clung to the shoes, revealing the threads stuck underneath them, surrounded by dimness, dull and lightless.
"Is anyone there?" Lin Fan shouted.
Listening carefully, one could hear the sound of breathing and the beating of a heart.
he saw it, in the corner, a massive blob of flesh undulating, his mouth agape with shock, for he had never seen such a large mass before.
To call it a zombie seemed incorrect, as he had never seen a zombie of this form before.
The shrill noise spread like a tidal wave in all directions.
The ground vibrated as if a mighty army was sweeping towards them.
He looked towards the entrance; dense shadows flickered, followed by countless zombies swarming in, including unknown uniformed officers, evolved zombies, and many regular zombies.
"So, you are luring me in to keep me here? Well, I was thinking of clearing out the zombies in Sunshine District anyway. Since this is your plan, I have no choice but to draw my sword in self-defense," Lin Fan declared.
The Frost Mourning in his hand, although not touched by sunlight, still shimmered with a silver light. Even in enveloping darkness, as long as one harbors justice, it will radiate light.
Indeed, that’s the principle.
The number of zombies in the underground parking lot continued to increase; anyone facing this situation would see no possibility of survival, but for Lin Fan, there was no question of not surviving.
The flesh blob was a special evolutionary zombie, possessing abilities unseen in other zombies, capable of emitting a particular kind of sound, similar to that of a shrieking zombie but far more powerful.
It might even possess some faint intelligence.
The flesh blob zombie could gather useful species information from Monitoring Zombies, knowing which creatures posed a threat, and if a threat is detected, it would attempt to eliminate it.
Swinging Frost Mourning, a single stroke cleaved through the crowd of zombies in front of him.
Seeing the uniformed zombies was just like seeing any other regular zombie, fierce and ferocious, totally undeserving of the uniform they wore. In every profession, there are always those who are unfit for their positions, occupying spaces like discolored grains in a pot of white porridge, forever present, unpredictable, and unavoidable, despite careful selection.
Lin Fan did not show mercy, dealing with the uniformed zombie especially, cleaving it in two with his sword.
"You should have learned better from Officer Huang," Lin Fan said.
centered around the underground parking lot, nearby zombies crazily sprinted towards this area, with some survivors watching the street in stunned disbelief.
They had no idea what was happening.
Why suddenly, this roaming horde of zombies, as if struck with mad frenzy, all ran in the same direction.
A certain supermarket.
There were groups of survivors surrounded by zombies, with no escape. In their quest to stay alive, they went out to search for supplies but ended up being discovered by the zombies. These zombies, surpassing ordinary humans, meant certain sacrifice upon encounter.
"Well, living up until now has been incredibly hard, and now this damned escape is finally ending, but I truly don’t want to become a zombie."
"It seems zombies don’t bite to kill; maybe we should just kill ourselves, I have a knife."
"Ah, the dark and endless despair, why must it be this way."
"My child is still out there. He won’t make it if I don’t return. How can he keep living?"
The zombies growled, running towards them.
Just when they thought they were about to meet a gruesome end by the zombies.
They noticed that these zombies were surprisingly holding their heads up high, motionless, looking dazed as if guided by something, running towards the same direction.
"I don’t know, I’ve never seen this before. The zombies just left us alone and ran over there. Could something we don’t know about be happening?"
"Quick, grab the stuff and run."
The underground parking garage.
A common citizen of Huang City was battling a zombie.
He stood for justice, and when faced with a threat, had to protect himself.
"Meatball, you can attract zombies, such a skill is really great. I won’t eliminate you for now; I just want to see how many zombies you can call over. If I alone can offer a chance of survival for the survivors nearby, I’m willing to bear with it."
"This parking garage is too cramped, I’ll wait for you outside."
Lin Fan held his sword and slashed forward, sending out a visible Sword Qi that tore through the air, shredding all zombies in its path, forcefully clearing a route.
Having reached the outside.
Lin Fan leaped up, jumping onto a street lamp, observing the dense horde of zombies below.
The sunlight shone on the earth, warming his body, giving him an indescribable comfort and a continual strength.
He shouted to his surroundings.
"To all surviving survivors, I, Lin Fan, a security guard of the Sunshine District, will fight to secure your chance for survival. The world is not destroyed, hope always endures. I wish that you all keep living with hope."
"As long as we live, there will be opportunities."
"The darkness will eventually scatter."
The sound spread around him.
Lin Fan, sword in hand, fearless, dove down into the encroaching horde of zombies, only wanting to say...
Those who have hope will not be defeated.
And those who are not defeated will continuously bring life to others hoping for survival. In these chaotic times, someone must stand up, and Lin Fan, is willing to stand up and confront the darkness before him.
Maybe one year, two years, or perhaps longer.
But he will not back down.
This spirit had been embedded in his DNA since childhood.
