"Is it really gone?"
"This isn’t a deception, is it?"
"I haven’t been outside for a long ti; I don’t even know what it’s like out there anymore."
Lin Fan looked at the excited crowd, who had just heard the good news, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Hadn’t he been working hard to clear out the zombies just to see such smiles?
He never thought of himself as a savior.
It was simply that he felt he had so ability.
If he did nothing with it, he might feel sowhat guilty for wasting his potential.
The heavy responsibility of rebuilding the prosperity of Huang City couldn’t be carried by him alone; it required everyone’s effort. What he could do was to eliminate the zombies that hindered the restoration of Huang City’s prosperity.
"Everyone, Huang City is truly safe now. From now on, you can walk around in Huang City as usual, without fear or worry about the future. Everything will develop in a good direction," Lin Fan said softly.
He Mingxuan asked, "Did you co here to take them to Sunshine Shelter?"
Lin Fan looked at the people around him, seeing the hope in their eyes, and replied, "Yes, rebuilding Huang City depends on everyone’s efforts. I alone am not enough; therefore, I want to invite you all to Sunshine Shelter, to unite and face this post-apocalyptic world."
This was one of his rare group invitations.
It was an unusual situation. He had encountered many survivor groups with varying conditions, but the survivors in the prison gave him a very good impression.
Changes in human nature during the apocalypse didn’t stem from environntal pressure, but whether one wanted to change. As long as one desired change, no environnt could stand in the way.
Listening to Lin Fan, He Mingxuan looked at the people around him. Ever since they ca to the prison, they had been living together, from the earliest days under Chen Zhiyong’s tyranny, to later under Sun Neng, and now to him.
Having gone through so much, his personality and temperant had quietly changed.
He was no longer as cynical as before, nor as selfish. Occasionally, he even began to consider others. Maybe having seen too much helplessness and danger made him start to reflect on his character and temperant.
He could see the longing in everyone’s eyes.
It was a longing for a better future.
While He Mingxuan was looking at the people, they were also watching him cautiously.
In this ti, He Mingxuan had taken very good care of them. Often, it could be said he saved their lives. When they went outside to search for supplies, so people were just not cut out for it. Walking on the streets, they could be so frightened that their legs would tremble.
If they encountered zombies, they wouldn’t be able to run away.
So, they were grateful to He Mingxuan. If he didn’t want to go, they might not either, as it seed sowhat inappropriate to leave him behind.
"Sure, you lead them there," He Mingxuan said, exhausted. "I’m tired of this place. I want to go back and see my house, the work of my lifeti."
He thought of his heavily industrial-styled house.
"Brother He."
"Brother He..."
Everyone looked at He Mingxuan. They didn’t expect him to leave the prison, not to go to Sunshine Shelter, but to his own house. This was unexpected to them.
He Mingxuan waved them off, "Fate brought us together, but every encounter has its end. I, He Mingxuan, never wrong myself. I don’t want to go to Sunshine Shelter, so don’t try to persuade . You all go there and live well. He can be trusted."
Perhaps He Mingxuan really was petty, always rembering things, but the apocalypse had profoundly changed him compared to who he used to be.
Miao Yi clutched at He Mingxuan’s sleeve, "Brother Mingxuan, I don’t want to be separated from you."
He Mingxuan patted his head, "Go with your sister. Why follow ? I have my own life. I’ve always hated having other people around, it’s annoying."
Lin Fan observed the situation. It wasn’t that he rembered only what He Mingxuan used to be, but the impression the forr He Mingxuan had left was deep—he truly was the sort of person even dogs would disdain.
But now, he honestly hadn’t expected the people there to show such friendliness towards He Mingxuan, even to the point of being willing to give up the idea of going to Sunshine Shelter for him.
Though it wasn’t said outright.
It was apparent.
Being liked by everyone ant that He Mingxuan had done good things for them.
Lin Fan sighed inwardly; the apocalypse was indeed terrible, but it also had the power to change people. It could turn a once good person into a terrifying one, and a once despised person into soone loved and respected.
This change didn’t an the apocalypse was all darkness; rather, it showed that so people could find their once overlooked shine in the darkness.
Lin Fan said, "Have you decided? The area of Sunshine Shelter is large. In fact, if you don’t wish to have much contact with , we might not even et."
He Mingxuan looked at Lin Fan, "Yes, I want to go ho, to my own ho."
"Alright then."
Lin Fan didn’t try to keep him further. Everyone had their own thoughts, and he hoped that others could live well in the post-apocalyptic world.
Of course, Huang City was now truly safe.
Everything that needed cleaning had been cleaned.
Even if there were stragglers, he would spend this ti carefully searching, ensuring there would be no slip-ups.
