A gust of wind blew by.
The tranquil valley suddenly felt a touch of chill.
Although Lin Fan ordinarily remained unaffected, he shivered unexpectedly, a chill creeping into his heart.
"Professor Sumr, how could this be possible? I think we’re better off not scaring ourselves. In my opinion, this is just an anomaly." Lin Fan waved his hand, repeatedly denying Professor Sumr’s claim, as he then gripped Frostmourne and plunged it directly into the flesh, "This thing looks annoying, it’s better to clean it up."
Frostmourne absorbed the flesh attached underground, leaving only a thin red film.
"Oh, right, right, look at , babbling nonsense at my age." Professor Sumr couldn’t miss the change in Lin Fan’s mood and swiftly changed his statent.
Zhu Cheng and Sun Neng exchanged a glance, no words needed as both understood each other’s thoughts.
Such topics had to be paused, couldn’t continue discussing.
"Let’s go back."
Lin Fan looked at them with sincere eyes.
"Alright, let’s go back." Professor Sumr replied.
Naturally, Zhu Cheng followed along.
Sun Neng still wanted to take Xiaoxiao to travel everywhere and admire the magnificent landscapes of the country. As for the debate’s result just now, he genuinely didn’t care in the least. The future, he thought, was bright and beautiful. As for really encountering such situations, he could accept it calmly; it’s fate that must not be defied. Living till now is already a bonus.
...
Huang City, Sunshine Shelter.
Zhou Lan and the others returned with Lin Fan, and like any survivors brought back, seeing the vibrant life in the Sunshine Shelter, each displayed a longing yet excited expression.
No one expected such a beautiful place to exist during the apocalypse.
If back then they were brave enough to wander around the foot of Song Mountain, perhaps they would’ve discovered the surrounding zombies had disappeared, thus picking up the "Zombie Album," and driving to the Sunshine Shelter themselves.
At this mont.
Zhu Cheng, Professor Sumr, Gu Hang, and Old Zhong gathered in the laboratory.
After hearing what Zhu Cheng and Professor Sumr had to say, Gu Hang and others showed a change in expression, even unable to believe.
Gu Hang couldn’t help but ask, "Can this situation really happen?"
Zhu Cheng said, "Neither Professor Sumr nor I are certain, but it’s indeed what we saw with our own eyes. Thus, we were debating on-site, but we didn’t notice Lin Fan’s mood. When we talked about this situation, Lin Fan’s mood was very serious. Honestly, I’ve never seen Lin Fan be so serious."
Gu Hang slowly said, "I was one of the first to know Lin Fan, and I understand his feelings. He regards Sunshine Shelter as the final ho, treating everyone living here as family. If such a situation truly arises, it would be hard for him to accept."
From the early rescues of the apocalypse to now, it’s been a long ti. He’s very familiar with Lin Fan, knowing what’s on his mind, and knows how important the people living here are to Lin Fan.
Once, he thought Lin Fan’s behavior was quirky.
This quirkiness wasn’t illness-related but more about mannerisms that seed a bit odd, yet he understood Lin Fan’s thoughts. The apocalypse’s arrival brought enormous pressure on everyone’s physical bodies and spirits.
Familiar people around turned into beasts that only knew how to bite.
It caused great turmoil within everyone’s hearts.
But with the establishnt of Sunshine Shelter, more and more survivors erged, and everyone worked hard unitedly, marching towards a hopeful future, and Lin Fan’s mood and ntal state improved significantly.
He rembered what Lin Fan once said.
I’m rescuing you, providing a safe living area for you. It seems like I’m helping you, but isn’t it also you healing ?
To those who don’t understand Lin Fan, it might just seem like humility.
But in Gu Hang’s eyes, Lin Fan was speaking from the heart.
Old Zhong, who listened for a long ti, said, "Professor Sumr, you are an expert, could you tell us if this situation could truly happen?"
Professor Sumr waved his hand repeatedly, saying, "Don’t call an expert. I’m telling you honestly, the situation happening now has already surpassed my understanding; it’s beyond what I can comprehend."
"Ah? Professor Sumr, you’re a knowledgeable scientist. If even you don’t understand, who else could?" Old Zhong blinked, utterly shocked. In his eyes, with his limited education, Professor Sumr was the most reliable, and no problem could stump him.
Now that Professor Sumr said such words, Old Zhong found it hard to accept.
"Sigh, I’m human, not an all-knowing god. In the early stages of the apocalypse, I could still lead the team exploring through scientific thods, but now the changes in the apocalypse are beyond my imagination, can’t be explored scientifically."
Professor Sumr waved his hand, seemingly to have aged significantly in this instance.
Originally intending to use his lifelong knowledge to aid the youth, it truly felt delightful. But who could’ve thought the apocalypse would develop like this, truly like a blow to the head, leaving Professor Sumr a bit dazed?
Gu Hang said, "Since it’s like this, I propose a solution, everyone see if it might work, how about it?"
"Go ahead, Brother Hang," Zhu Cheng asked.
Gu Hang said, "Since everything follows perfection, I think Awakeners should stop using crystals. Just maintain their current state. Now Lin Fan is already clearing the last area, the apocalypse will soon end. The strength of Awakeners won’t have much use anymore, what do you all think?"
