CHAPTER 1185: CHAPTER 281: HOPE WE HAVE A PLEASANT COOPERATION

In the distance.

"Let’s go, it’s best to keep this to yourself, no need to tell anyone."

Cui Xiaofei reminded.

Zhong Hong said, "You know the organization has been waiting for a chance to kill Lin Fan in Huang City. You don’t want the organization to know about Lin Fan’s situation, you want the organization to act mistakenly, right?"

"You want to leave the organization."

She looked deeply at Cui Xiaofei. His face appeared expressionless, but she felt that he had more on his mind than anyone else.

"Is that so? I haven’t even thought about that," Cui Xiaofei said.

Zhong Hong said, "You can choose to trust me, but there’s another guy, from what I know, who’s a part of the organization, willingly risking his life for them, and the condition the organization promised him is to surpass you. Everything we have is given by the organization, which is an irresistible temptation for some people."

Cui Xiaofei’s gaze lingered on her for a moment, then he couldn’t help but laugh.

"Let’s go."

This time he truly left, disappearing into the distance without looking back.

Zhong Hong watched Cui Xiaofei’s gradually disappearing figure, muttering to herself.

"You didn’t kill that zombie because you’re afraid of Lin Fan, because Lin Fan let it go, so you didn’t dare to act. I never thought there would be something that could make you afraid."

She hadn’t just said these words.

Cui Xiaofei is a man, and men need their pride. She’s not low in emotional intelligence, she understood that much.

Zhong Hong turned back to look at the direction of Huang City.

Conflicted inside.

She had thoughts, hesitated, finally thought it through, and instead of heading into the distance, she went toward the direction where Huang City was.

Sometimes the path is one we choose for ourselves.

Choosing a different path leads to different outcomes.

She considered carefully; the path she had originally chosen might not suit her. No matter how she walked, the outcome would always be the same, and she could see the limits of the future.

But now the unknown choice made her feel the result of the path might be different.

...

Huang City.

Everyone was collecting crystals from the zombie fragments.

"Wow, it’s really beautiful, Brother Kai. Why do the crystals look like this, as if cosmic stars are swirling inside?"

"How would I know? This is a high-level question, hard for me to answer."

"Alright, zombies are so terrifying, yet the crystals in their heads are so beautiful, hardly a match at all."

Most people weren’t Awakeners, they didn’t have the power to hunt zombies, but they didn’t mind, because they could do other things at the Sunshine Shelter and still contribute.

Wang Kai picked up a crystal, aimed it at the sunlight in the sky, and looked carefully. It was indeed very beautiful, swirling and spinning inside like the Milky Way, quite incredible.

Nobody knows how it’s formed.

It’s hard to imagine that such a beautiful and radiant thing could be inside a zombie’s head.

Zhong Hong arrived at the scene, observing up close. She was truly shocked, taking a slight breath and feeling the air thick with the scent of blood.

A crystal rolled out from a severely damaged head onto the ground.

This was a red crystal.

Such crystals were very precious, but here they were everywhere. Truly, different places have different scenarios.

She bent down, just about to pick up the red crystal.

Plop!

"Miss, this crystal belongs to our Huang City. Where did you come from?"

Hearing the voice, Zhong Hong’s movements stopped abruptly.

She saw a person carrying a steel gun, dressed in War Armor, bending down to pick up the crystal.

She sensed an aura from him, a kind that gave her a strong sense of danger. If she fought him, there was a high possibility he would kill her.

When Zhong Hong appeared, Tan Qing had already noticed her. The aura she was emitting wasn’t that of an Awakener, it had a kind of zombie aura.

But she wasn’t a zombie; she could only be a Mutant.

"My name is Tan Qing, a member of the Sunshine Shelter in Huang City. Do you have any business here?" Tan Qing hadn’t seen her before, but judging by her situation, she didn’t seem like someone fleeing here.

Zhong Hong was amazed internally. She hadn’t expected the Sunshine Shelter not only to have a strong person like Lin Fan but also other survivors who were equally strong. It’s truly the only refuge for humans in the apocalypse.

"My name is Zhong Hong, and I’d like to meet Lin Fan," Zhong Hong said.

Tan Qing looked at her quietly, "Come with me."

He didn’t know her intentions, but if she wanted to see Lin Fan, that was easy. The rest would be up to Lin Fan.

Zhong Hong followed behind Tan Qing, observing her surroundings. Every survivor was happily collecting crystals, and each was wearing War Armor. She knew from the catalog that these armors had been enhanced with crystals.

The defense was very strong.

Rich, they were incredibly rich.

Precious crystals used on War Armor, maybe nowhere else but here would be willing to spend like this.

"You have an abundance of crystals."

Zhong Hong initiated a conversation; following him closely like this always felt a bit awkward.

As she arrived, she noticed many people casting curious glances her way, some seemed ready for a fight, as if at any moment she made a move, she would be subdued on the spot.

"Of course, these crystals are all from the zombies Lin Fan hunted. Not to mention anything else, the number of zombies in just Huang City is terrifying. While most are ordinary zombies, the number of Evolutionary Zombies is also considerable."
