He carried Frost Mourning and followed the source of the noise, constantly leaping across the rooftops of tall buildings.
Standing on the rooftop, he spotted a figure on the street below.
The figure was weaving through a crowd of zombies, his weapon relentlessly reaping the zombies’ heads as if they couldn’t even see him.
"He’s an Awakener... his awakened ability is Disguise."
He had seen this type of ability before; in the eyes of the zombies, it was as if the person did not exist.
Previously, a survivor with this ability was named Li Qun. Relying on his power, he was quite arrogant until he encountered a mature mixed-type zombie. Thinking he was invisible to it, he jumped up to slap the mixed-type zombie, only to be impaled.
Lin Fan watched the survivor before him, noting that his movements were clean and efficient. Heads of zombies were chopped off one after another, and this bespectacled survivor seemed to be targeting the nearby Powerful Zombie.
As the other closed the distance, he suddenly leaped into the air and decapitated the Powerful Zombie with a single strike.
"Strange, such a frail body doesn’t seem to possess such strength, how could he decapitate a zombie with one slash?"
Ordinary zombies maybe.
But the head of a Powerful Zombie isn’t that easy to cut off unless the blade has been enhanced by a crystal.
"He knows the use of crystals."
Lin Fan could tell that the survivor knew what he was doing as he skillfully opened the zombies’ heads, found crystals, and pocketed them; this survivor was different from the others.
He was also using crystals to enhance himself.
Just as Lin Fan was about to step forward and greet him, he saw the other person suddenly running forward.
He didn’t appear suddenly; he wanted to see what the other was up to.
"Well done, he’s targeted the Tyrant..."
The bespectacled survivor fearlessly entered the Tyrant’s territory. The Tyrant, like a sovereign, stood among the mass of zombies, facing the distance with proud defiance.
Although to Lin Fan’s eyes, the Tyrant was nothing special.
However, to other survivors, it was a truly terrifying being.
Then, the survivor reached a sedan, smashed its window, started the car, pressed the horn— beep beep beep... The car emitted a piercing noise.
The zombies surrounding the Tyrant, upon hearing the sound, became agitated, running wildly toward it with frenzied, irate behavior.
The other, calm and collected, weaved through the zombie horde, quickly picking up speed as he ran toward the Tyrant, his long knife glinting coldly.
A strong intent to kill caused the Tyrant to stir slightly, as if sensing the murderous intent drawing near.
The Tyrant swung its cleaver, hacking at the air in front of it.
In an instant, the survivor’s knife clashed with the cleaver, entangling in a fierce struggle.
Lin Fan concentrated, "Without wearing War Armor, he has such strength; perhaps his awakened ability isn’t just one, huh? A survivor with multiple abilities, I’ve never seen that before."
Right then, he saw the Tyrant’s cleaver pierce through the other’s body—a shocking turn of events that even took Lin Fan by surprise. He had been watching closely; how could such an unexpected event occur?
"No, it was intentional."
The moment he was impaled by the Tyrant, the other managed to plunge his knife into the Tyrant’s neck. Blood gushed from the neck as he flipped the blade, decapitating the Tyrant.
And the other pulled out the cleaver, covering his abdomen as he stood.
Lin Fan’s vision was sharp; he saw the other’s abdomen regenerating at a visible rate, and then, as if nothing had happened.
"This ability, it’s like the Rebirth of severed limbs of mixed-type zombies, even wounds can heal."
The zombies drawn by the car noise, when they turned back, were stunned to find their sovereign Tyrant collapsed on the ground, its domineering presence gone.
The death of the Tyrant sent the zombies staggering around, perhaps in search of a new Tyrant to follow—as for this suddenly deceased Tyrant, it was already dead.
The survivor cut open the Tyrant’s head, extracted the crystal, and tucked it away contently.
"It’s the worst of times, but also the best of times."
A voice came through.
"No, this is just the worst of times; the best of times is not ."
The bespectacled survivor, startled, quickly turned around, watching warily as Lin Fan appeared.
Seeing Lin Fan’s appearance, his expression shifted subtly.
"Sunshine Shelter’s Lin Fan."
Lin Fan smiled, "Don’t be nervous, I mean no harm. You’ve read my ’Zombie Album,’ right?"
"You’re very impressive, one of the few Awakeners who can stand against a Tyrant. I’ve been observing you for a while, your awakened abilities must be more than one, right?"
Lin Fan said, "I can tell you’ve been on guard against me, and it’s okay not to tell the truth. I’m just curious about your presence; where have you been living all this time?"
"I go everywhere; there’s no fixed place."
"All right then, if you won’t tell, that’s fine. Everyone has their own thoughts. You deliberately let the Tyrant impale you to get the chance to decapitate it. Your audacity took me by surprise too, an ability reminiscent of mixed-type zombies, very strong. By the way, we’ve been talking, and I still don’t know your name."
