He shook his head, feeling regretful towards the young man tattooed with the Heavenly Eye.
He once had milk tea at a tea shop during peaceful times. Just as he was leaving, he saw another young man with a Heavenly Eye tattoo. Intrigued by the design, he took a longer look only to receive a curse in return.
"What the fuck are you looking at?"
It made Lin Fan deeply aware of the malice in society.
Two men, nearly forty years old, respectfully called the young man with the Heavenly Eye tattoo "Big Brother," a scene that seemed somewhat comical.
At the same time, these two men wiped off the powder from their foreheads, revealing their own Heavenly Eye tattoos.
Niu Zhi held his head high, very satisfied with the current situation. As he moved, the zombies around him followed suit.
"Listen up, I’m Niu Zhi, the big brother of the Sky Eye Gang. Your shelter is now under my control. The Sky Eye Gang is expanding quickly. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Get the Heavenly Eye tattoo, pledge allegiance to Big Brother, join the Sky Eye Gang, and if anyone disagrees, I’ll let the zombies bite you to death."
Niu Zhi held his head high, looking at them, already familiar with the outcome—he had watched others submit under his infamy just like these survivors would.
His eyes lit up when he saw Yang Lu, "You’re not bad, girl. It’s been a long time since I’ve had my pleasure. You’ll do. Later, you can have some fun with me, and if you serve me well, you can be the woman of the Sky Eye Gang’s big boss."
She detested the guy in front of her.
Lin Fan said, "Kid, wouldn’t it be better to study hard instead of getting tattooed with the Heavenly Eye? Do you know that doing this would make your parents very sad?"
"No one asked for your fucking opinion."
"Can we speak nicely?"
"Who the fuck are you?"
"My name is Lin Fan."
"I don’t give a fuck what your name is, are you blind? I’m Niu Zhi, the boss of the Sky Eye Gang. You’re fucking babbling to me, I’ll make you kneel and call me ’Grandpa’."
Niu Zhi raged arrogantly, feeling invincible because he could control zombies, and he didn’t care about anyone. To him, the guy with the sword on his back was just an idiot.
Facing idiots, he was fearless and even enjoyed using harsh words to attack them.
Lin Fan turned to Yang Rong and said, "What I fear most is exactly this kind of situation. A few common people become Awakeners and can control themselves, but the number is always low. If someone was already a bad person before, then acquiring Transcendent abilities will only make them more vicious."
Yang Rong said, "Indeed, that’s true. There are survivors who can maintain their humanity, but even more who can’t control it."
Niu Zhi was a bit dumbfounded by the situation.
I’m controlling six zombies standing in front of you, and you fuckers still have the leisure to talk about morality right in front of me?
Is this something a human would do?
He felt deeply humiliated and ignored.
"You motherfuckers, how dare you ignore me, I’ll make you regret it. Go, bite this idiot with the sword to death," Niu Zhi roared as he waved his hand, and one of the zombies rushed ferociously towards Lin Fan, growling fiercely.
Facing the sudden development, many survivors were nervous. These newcomers had not witnessed Lin Fan’s strength, how could they not be tense?
Before their eyes, the charging zombie’s head exploded instantly; they didn’t even see how Lin Fan made his move, only that the zombie’s head had burst.
They stared in shock, as if they had seen a ghost.
Niu Zhi’s eyes bulged as he touched the sticky substance on his face. Clueless, he looked at the fallen zombie, evidently surprised as if he hadn’t expected such a thing to happen.
Niu Zhi continued to command the remaining five zombies.
Lin Fan remained unfazed. He had already hunted down hundreds of thousands of ordinary zombies; the five in front of him really didn’t matter to him.
He simply blew up the heads of the zombies right in front of him.
Everyone looked on, dumbfounded. The survivors who had only heard legends now truly understood that what they had been told was not an exaggeration. This was genuine terrifying strength.
It was simply inconceivable.
"Sorry, I’ve made a mess of your place," Lin Fan said, somewhat apologetically.
Yang Rong casually replied, "No worries, the floor will be clean after a sweep."
Lin Fan walked over to Niu Zhi, and under his shocked gaze, he gently patted Niu Zhi’s shoulder, "Kid, power isn’t for doing as you please. You know the saying, ’With great power comes great responsibility.’ Of course, you can choose to stand by with your abilities, but you definitely can’t use them to harm others."
Niu Zhi stared at Lin Fan in terror. His heart went cold in an instant, filled with indescribable fear, "Who... who the hell are you?"
Lin Fan answered, "Just an ordinary citizen of Huang City."
He was so shocked he couldn’t speak, stammering in disbelief.
Lin Fan turned to Yang Rong and said, "I’ll take them and leave first. We can talk next time if there’s anything."
"Alright, no problem," Yang Rong replied with a smile and a wave.
Lin Fan clapped the shoulder of an adult survivor, "Go get the truck started."
Then he took Niu Zhi and another female survivor to the truck, "Squeeze in, there’s room."
