If there were gods in this world.
The one before their eyes must surely be one.
Lin Fan thought about his actions just now.
Could it be that he had been truly domineering?
To the point that they always found it unbelievable?
"Hello, my name is Lin Fan, security guard of the Sunshine District. Danger is only temporary. The moment you met me, you were already safe," he said warmly and amicably.
After speaking, he waited for them to come around.
But who could have expected that this group of people seemed as if they had fallen into some kind of special state?
"Wake up, wake up..."
Lin Fan waved his hands, trying to snap them out of their shock. The smell around was a bit pungent, so it would be best to leave as soon as possible. There was definitely no need to dawdle here.
Ma Weiyan finally reacted, taking a look around. Even after seeing the scene, the shock was still immense—an impact of the spectacle.
"Did you just happen upon us and come to rescue us when you saw we were in danger?" he asked, curious.
These sudden salvation scenes at critical moments always seemed so surreal. Under normal circumstances, given the massive horde of zombies, the outcome would seem evident—all would be devoured without a trace left.
Just when they were in despair, the other party appeared like divine troops from the heavens, sweeping away everything.
Lin Fan shook his head, "No, my companion told me about your presence. Hearing that you were surviving in this apocalypse with children, we specifically sought you out. Fortunately, we found you in time, before any sacrifices were made."
Sorrow was inevitable, but it was naturally best to avoid it if possible.
"Are you talking about those four survivors?" Ma Weiyan thought of the survivors they had encountered earlier, who had not said much in their brief interaction, out of caution towards other survivors.
Lin Fan smiled, "Yes. What are your plans now? Are you interested in coming to the Sunshine District? With so many children, survival in the apocalypse is very challenging. Any danger might lead to your complete annihilation."
He extended an olive branch to them.
He could see in the survivors’ eyes the pursuit of life, hope for the future, and even more, their courage to confront adversity, launching an all-out counterattack until exhaustion.
Faced with Lin Fan’s invitation.
If it were before, if they hadn’t been in danger and a mysterious survivor with a sword suddenly appeared and invited them to a shelter, they would have definitely been wary.
With so many children, being on the other party’s turf would mean being utterly at their mercy.
Was there a need to consider?
"Yes, we’re very interested," Ma Weiyan agreed without a second thought.
Qiu Bing glanced at Ma Weiyan, sighing inwardly. Indeed, in the face of absolute power, humans always ’fall fast’, without even needing to think.
"Wow, the sword on Big Brother’s back is Frostmourne, right?" Little Liu exclaimed, his eyes shining. As a gaming enthusiast, he thought the man before him was insanely cool.
Lin Fan smiled, "Yes."
He treasured the Frostmourne gifted by Sister Li, an essential Divine Artifact for him to kill zombies, and these were what enabled it.
Without further ado, he led them away. Ma Weiyan moved the supplies from the truck to the bus. Even though it wasn’t much, in these times, saving where they could was crucial, and they definitely had to take it with them.
Arriving at the sanctuary.
As the group of survivors approached the Sunshine District, they were shocked to see there were no zombies nearby, especially since they had survived in He City, where the zombie population was unimaginably large.
It gave them the illusion that the city might have been overrun by zombies, with its millions of inhabitants all transformed, and very few survivors remaining.
If they hadn’t seen Lin Fan slaughtering zombies earlier, they might have been extremely puzzled, but now they could understand that the main reason there were no zombies around was likely because they had been killed.
Ma Weiyan observed the surroundings.
Iron fences blocked off the streets on both sides.
Upon entering the district and seeing the vibrant community, they were momentarily mesmerized, not having felt this way in a long time.
Han Shuang and the others saw the group of survivors.
They weren’t surprised in the least.
She knew the moment she told Lin Fan about them, he would not just stand by. He was bound to search for them to see if the survivors were qualified.
"Welcome to the Sunshine District," Han Shuang greeted them with a smile.
Having endured the oppression of zombies outside, they now felt the warmth of the post-apocalyptic world here, relaxing their tense spirits.
Lin Fan looked at the group of survivors, thinking the housing would probably have to be rented out at stiff rates, and the referral fees would surely rake in a fortune.
But... considering their situations.
They were probably all poor.
Young people seldom had any savings.
Not to mention these children. Forget it, let’s not discuss these heavy topics with the kids.
The community members came to the entrance.
To greet the new survivors.
Smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.
With each new survivor that joined, it signified hope for them, a belief that the future would blossom in their hands.
Gu Hang and Wang Kai stood shoulder to shoulder.
"Brother Hang, please speak."
Gu Hang looked at the children and said, "We should get the classrooms sorted out. Our Sunshine District is evolving into a community for children. The burden on us has invisibly grown heavier."
