I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

Chapter 1263 - 299: So... Sorry, I Can’t Tell You

Just hearing that a woman was kept as a pet by Zheng Tianhao made him feel very uneasy.

His mood was very bad.

This kind of behavior was excessive, but he knew that this situation was very common in the post-apocalypse world, where many people’s minds had been twisted by the apocalypse.

They would do many terrifying things.

Just hearing about it sent a chill down the spine.

At that moment.

Da da da...

Gunfire erupted.

Bullets whistled through the air.

"He knows we’re here, perhaps he discovered me, and he’s trying to kill us with weapons. This behavior is terrifying and must be stopped," Lin Fan muttered to himself, then turned back to the two of them, "Don’t worry, with me here, your lives will be protected. Facing such behavior that threatens your lives, I naturally can’t sit idly by. I will act in self-defense, just bear witness for me."

The two mutants were full of questions.

They didn’t understand what Lin Fan was talking about.

Self-defense?

Bear witness?

As mutants, they dared not say much about anything else, but ordinary firearms really posed little threat to them.

As they were thinking of telling Lin Fan that it was okay, that they were not afraid of these firearms, a shocking scene unfolded.

Lin Fan raised his hand to catch the incoming bullets and then, with a flick of his fingers, returned all the bullets he had caught.

Bang!

Bang!

The thunderous sound was very muffled.

Every bullet accurately struck the heads of the group of bodyguards, and the dense gunfire ceased completely.

The two mutants swallowed hard.

Recalling what Lin Fan had just said about self-defense and bearing witness, perhaps this was deliberate revenge, with a murderous intent to wipe out these people.

To express their regret to Lin Fan, during their recent conversation, they had mentioned the cruel nature of the bodyguards, who were ruthless and heinous, having killed many people.

Now, this group of bodyguards was dead just like that.

So Lin Fan didn’t intend to leave them any chance to survive.

"You saw it, this was self-defense. They were shooting at us with dangerous firearms, and to ensure your safety, I had no choice but to kill them," Lin Fan said seriously.

The two mutants looked at each other, their expressions slowly turning from shocked and terrified to touched, as if even the face-changing art of Peking opera couldn’t compete with them.

The strong man said, "Thank you, really, thank you so much. Otherwise, we would definitely have died."

The one with yellow hair said, "If we had met you earlier, we definitely wouldn’t have ended up like this. They were really too evil, it was all to kill and silence us."

Lin Fan blinked; he was just speaking casually.

Their performance made Lin Fan very uncomfortable, too fake. The relationship between people shouldn’t be like this; sincerity is the first step.

"Let’s go; he’s trying to escape. We can’t let him get away."

Lin Fan grabbed their arms and sped up towards the villa.

At that time.

Zheng Tianhao watched the bodyguards fall to the ground with a thud, his whole body numb, a sense of indescribable horror, truly not expecting the other party to actually come for him.

"Damn it, you two actually betrayed me."

Zheng Tianhao knew why the other party had found him. The only reason was that those two guys had sold him out.

He absolutely couldn’t continue like this.

Otherwise, he would certainly die.

Zheng Tianhao had never seen Lin Fan in action, but he knew that his strength was terrifying, definitely something he couldn’t handle. So, he was thinking of fleeing now, not wanting to meet the other party, or he’d die without knowing how.

But...

"Hello."

A strange yet seemingly friendly voice came.

Zheng Tianhao’s whole body stiffened. He really hadn’t expected the other party to be so fast. Clearly, the distance was still quite far, yet it arrived so quickly.

It truly surpassed his imagination.

Zheng Tianhao’s eyelids twitched a few times, forcibly pretending to be calm, "Lin Fan from Sunshine Shelter in Huang City."

"Yes, I’m Lin Fan," Lin Fan responded, then stopped engaging with Zheng Tianhao, instead looking at the woman kneeling on the ground, sighing slightly as he walked over to her. The woman shrank back a bit, obviously a bit frightened.

"Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person. Let me untie you first."

Lin Fan untied the leash from around her neck, then gently helped the woman up. Seeing the hollow look in her eyes, he knew that the psychological trauma was hard to recover from. He could only use a gentle smile to comfort her, bringing a touch of warmth to her despairing heart.

"It’s all over, a new life has truly begun. Trust me, okay?"

Lin Fan always believed that only sincerity could touch others’ hearts.

The woman, looking at Lin Fan’s gentle smile, for once, a sliver of hope appeared in her vacant eyes, this hope, like a tender shoot, growing robustly under the sun’s rays.

Perhaps truly feeling the goodwill conveyed by Lin Fan, the woman gradually began to respond, and this response was like a volcanic eruption, growing stronger by the moment.

"Waa..."

The woman collapsed onto Lin Fan’s shoulder, crying aloud, tears streaming down as if she had found a haven, free from fear.

"Take your time, don’t rush, everything is safe now."

Lin Fan allowed the woman to cry, gently patting her back. He knew she needed to vent her fears, and once they were fully released, everything would return to normal.
