CHAPTER 1186: CHAPTER 281: HOPE WE HAVE A PLEASANT COOPERATION (PART 2)

Tan Qing spoke casually.

Zhong Hong nodded silently. Indeed, the number of zombies in a city was unimaginable. Even up to this point, perhaps only Lin Fan could clear a city’s zombies.

Such a human being is truly strong.

Incredibly strong.

"Do you have a lot of Awakeners too?"

"Haha, are you probing for secrets?"

"No, I just wanted to ask."

"Just kidding, don’t be nervous. The number of Awakeners is quite considerable. Compared to other places, there are indeed a lot. Awakeners living here never have to worry about crystals. As long as they work hard, their abilities will greatly improve."

Hearing this, Zhong Hong felt really envious. People’s experiences truly differ; some people may risk their lives and still not acquire crystals.

Awakeners staying here never have to worry about crystals. They’re truly enviable to death.

"Really nice. If I stayed here, I would definitely be stronger."

Tan Qing turned to gaze at the other person and couldn’t help but smile: "I think you might not be suitable."

"Why?"

"Because you might need to be reformed at Huang City Prison."

He had once thought about what to do if someone with ideas deliberately sought refuge at Sunshine Shelter just to acquire crystals. Later, he learned that Lin Fan’s eyes could see through a person’s true heart.

Qualified individuals can come.

Unqualified ones need to go to Huang City Prison for reformation.

The former Huang City Prison was just for show.

Officer Huang dealt with two types of people: those he let go and those he punished on the spot, those who wouldn’t survive.

Zhong Hong stayed silent, quietly following along without another word.

...

"You’re from the Mutant Organization."

Lin Fan received Zhong Hong whom Tan Qing sent over. He hadn’t expected someone from the Mutant Organization to come here, truly amazing. Some members of organizations nowadays seem a bit arrogant.

He’s been looking for various organizations.

Unexpectedly, someone came knocking.

Could it be that he described himself too well in the "Zombie Album," leading some to think he’s gentle?

"Yes."

Zhong Hong was very honest in front of Lin Fan, appearing somewhat nervous.

Her actions were very risky, just like Cui Xiaofei had said: if you want to die, then go ahead. But she still wanted to give it a try.

"Are you here on behalf of the organization to discuss matters?" Lin Fan spoke softly.

"No, I’m here on behalf of myself. When you eliminated the zombie tide, I was watching from afar." Zhong Hong hastily explained that coming personally and representing the organization were two different things.

"I know. When you arrived, I already sensed it. The scent was very familiar, Cui Xiaofei must be here too."

"You even know that?"

"Of course, my nose is very keen and sensitive to scents," Lin Fan said.

"Oh, indeed, no matter how far we are, you can detect us, truly terrifying."

"No, I’m not terrifying at all." Lin Fan waved his hand, "Alright, you must have something to discuss with me, feel free to say it. I’m very willing to listen and communicate with you."

Zhong Hong took a deep breath, organizing her thoughts in her mind, and finally mustered the courage to say: "I want to discuss a cooperation with you."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, I know you’ve been searching for the whereabouts of the Mutant Organization. I can help you find it. Of course, even though I’m a member of the organization, I’ve never been to the real headquarters. But regardless, I have a bigger chance of knowing its location than anyone else."

"What do you want?" Lin Fan understood that any cooperation required an equivalent price. Since the other party proposed it, it indicated they wanted something.

"I want the Creator’s flesh and blood and some high-level crystals. I don’t want the Creator’s crystals."

After saying this,

Zhong Hong anxiously awaited a reply.

She didn’t know if the other party would agree, because she didn’t have equivalent conditions to satisfy them. The other party wanted to know the organization’s location, which she didn’t yet know, only that she would look for it on their behalf.

If it were her, she certainly wouldn’t agree. To her, it seemed like trying to get something for nothing.

"Why do you want to cooperate with me?" Lin Fan didn’t agree immediately but wanted to understand her true intentions.

Zhong Hong said: "I used to read the content in the ’Zombie Album’, but only read it, never witnessed it firsthand. The zombie tide today I saw with my own eyes. Your strength makes me feel that in the future, humanity will surely win. No organization can change that. I want to live my own life and take a path with a future."

It’s not easy for any human to survive to this day.

Especially becoming a lab experiment for an organization, surviving must mean they had a tragic backstory. The former way of life in society no longer applies; staying alive is most important.

Therefore, when Lin Fan encounters survivors wanting to come to Sunshine Shelter, if they’re unqualified, he gives them an opportunity for reform at Huang City Prison.

This opportunity first requires Officer Huang to be absent.

Lin Fan gazed into Zhong Hong’s eyes, and Zhong Hong steadfastly returned his gaze, without any evasive actions or fear of being seen through.

"Alright, happy cooperation." Lin Fan stood up and extended his hand.

Zhong Hong was shocked for a moment, then quickly reacted, hurriedly shaking Lin Fan’s hand. She truly didn’t expect it to be so simple, in disbelief.

"You trust me."
