CHAPTER 1228: CHAPTER 290: GUESS WHERE I AM_2

"It doesn’t matter, whether it is or not doesn’t matter, as long as there is any opportunity, I won’t miss it," Lin Fan said as he bid them farewell, eager to head over and take a look.

After Lin Fan left.

Gao Zhan and the others had also finished the instant noodles in their hands.

"Brother Gao, it feels really good to be strong," Song Yi exclaimed as he watched Lin Fan’s disappearing figure, admiring his genuinely domineering way of leaving, simply leaping away like that.

Even though their abilities seem decent now.

The height of their jumps is also quite high, but they can never do what the other party can do.

"What’s up?" Gao Zhan asked.

Song Yi said, "With strength, you can speak with confidence, treating the apocalypse as nothing. The end times are a disaster for most people, but for Awakeners, it’s an era where opportunity and danger coexist. While civilization regresses, we evolve. We can only know the future’s path by steadfastly moving forward ourselves."

Feng Yi said, "I agree with Song Yi’s view. Actually, if Brother Gao wanted to go to Huang City, I might not go. I’ve had enough of a comfortable life for decades. Now that there’s a chance to rise, I won’t give it up."

His words received the group’s agreement.

That’s just how it is.

No one can stop their steps forward.

Song Yuan said, "Actually, Huang City’s Sunshine Shelter is truly safe, it’s the best choice to go there."

Feng Yi said, "Then why didn’t you say so earlier? Even if you want to go, we wouldn’t say anything?"

Song Yuan said, "If none of you want to go, how can I go."

If they had encountered Lin Fan inviting them to the shelter when the apocalypse first broke out, maybe they wouldn’t have thought twice about agreeing. But now that they’ve stood up, they naturally want to rely on their capabilities to survive in the apocalypse and, at the same time, enhance their own strength to make themselves stronger.

...

Five Mountains.

The picturesque landscape remains beautiful, unaffected by the arrival of the apocalypse.

"On that mountain."

Indeed, there are five mountains. Whoever named this place seemed quite casual, calling it Five Mountains just because of the five peaks?

But that’s fine too.

It’s easy for people to remember.

He landed at the foot of the mountain and began ascending. Moments later, he reached the top and saw a wooden cabin standing at the edge of a cliff from afar, beside it a vegetable garden, where a figure was busy in the field, bending over.

"Such big-heartedness, aren’t they afraid of being seen by zombies?"

Lin Fan was very surprised. Even a simple fence would serve as a form of respect for the apocalypse, yet the person didn’t even bother to put up a fence or have any sense of defense.

If a zombie appeared here, it could definitely have a full meal.

He walked towards the wooden cabin, but the busy old man straightened up, wiped his sweat, and as he turned back, saw a figure in the distance walking towards him.

The old man’s eyesight wasn’t good, and vaguely thought it might be a zombie, so he rushed into the house and came out with a shotgun, setting it up without firing, seemingly waiting for the distant zombie to get closer before shooting, as the accuracy would be much higher.

"Old man, I’m human, not a zombie," Lin Fan waved his hand. When he saw the old man come out with a weapon, he knew there had been a misunderstanding.

He hurriedly called out a reminder.

After all, behind the house is a cliff, and the old man had many choices.

Even after Lin Fan’s reminder, the old man did not put down his weapon, indicating that for him, in the apocalypse, both zombies and humans were highly dangerous.

Lin Fan agreed with this sentiment.

Indeed, zombies’ evil is blatant, while humans’ malice is often buried inside, like hunters in the dark, ready to deliver a fatal blow when you are most relaxed.

Slowly, as he was about four or five meters away from the old man, the old man let out a low voice.

"Stop, don’t move."

The old man’s eyes were filled with caution as he fixed his gaze on Lin Fan, his finger on the trigger, ready to shoot if Lin Fan dared to move recklessly.

Lin Fan raised his hands to chest level and lowered his voice, "Old man, don’t be nervous, I’m not a bad person."

"Bad people never admit they’re bad, boy. Your grandpa here has eaten more rice than you’ve eaten salt. Do you think I’m that easy to deceive?" the old man scolded.

Lin Fan said, "Old man, my name is Lin Fan, and I come from Huang City’s Sunshine Shelter, truly with no ill intent. I’m here because Gao Zhan mentioned you, and I came specifically to see you."

"What Gao Zhan? I don’t know him," the old man still looked warily at Lin Fan.

When Gao Zhan and the others came here initially, they did not interact much with the old man. In Gao Zhan and the others’ eyes, this old man seemed a bit eccentric, possibly even mentally unstable, so they left quickly.

So when Lin Fan mentioned Gao Zhan’s name, the old man naturally had no idea who that was.

Lin Fan blinked, surprised that the old man didn’t know who Gao Zhan was. Could it be that Gao Zhan and the others didn’t have much interaction with the old man here? He pondered on how to get the old man to lower his guard.

Just as he was thinking.

The old man spoke.
