I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

Chapter 1273 - 301: My Boyfriend Sleeps Very Late, It’s Okay, I Have Sleeping Pills

At that moment, I felt I should do something meaningful, something that embodies human heritage, civilization, morality, and ethics.

So meeting them... was my good fortune."

He rarely spoke of these things to others.

Zhou Yi listened in silence, his gaze toward Lin Fan flickering with a strange light, then he laughed at himself: "I couldn’t be like you. Back then, I was already in despair. If not for the parents of those children lending me a hand, I would have been dead."

"Don’t say that, you are an alien royal prince, how could you be defeated by these little troubles?" Lin Fan said.

"Hahaha."

Zhou Yi laughed. Since meeting Lin Fan, the number of smiles that surfaced in their brief encounters had been far more than before.

A moment later.

"Thank you for the meal. I’m full now, and I’ve found the feeling I had before." Zhou Yi touched his belly, savoring the taste, a satisfied smile on his face.

"You’re welcome to come and eat anytime in the future," Lin Fan said.

"Sure, no problem, then I’ll leave. I’ll try to find the location of the headquarters. Although it’s quite difficult, I believe it can be found."

Zhou Yi and Lin Fan were already on the same side. His heart hadn’t turned dark, even after so many adversities, never being assimilated by the apocalypse’s darkness. The greatest credit might be owed to the children he had to care for.

"Do you need to say goodbye to them?"

"No need, it’ll only make the kids reluctant."

Lin Fan looked at him. Perhaps the most reluctant one should be Zhou Yi. Seeing the children’s unwilling eyes, his strong heart might become very vulnerable.

"Okay."

...

In a place far away from Sunshine Shelter in Huang City.

A bonfire was burning in the house.

Some people sat on the sofa, some read books under candlelight, and others played cards.

By the bonfire.

Sun Neng and Han Xiaoxiao were eating.

"Is it good?" Sun Neng asked with concern. This child had accompanied him all the way, suffering a lot of hardships. She could have stayed at Sunshine Shelter in Huang City to enjoy a good life but insisted on following him, which made him feel helpless yet somewhat moved.

Travelers are all lonely, but with Han Xiaoxiao’s company, Sun Neng didn’t feel lonely at all.

"It’s delicious." Han Xiaoxiao was very happy, the sweet potato in her hand particularly fragrant.

"If it’s good, eat more." Sun Neng smiled without showing teeth, involuntarily thinking of He Mingxuan. That guy seemed to be doing something, perhaps living a carefree life in Huang City, without thinking about him at all.

He had no feelings for He Mingxuan anymore.

This was a change of heart, influenced by Han Xiaoxiao, the only thought now being to take care of this child and allow her to live well in the apocalypse.

The reason for staying here was that he and Han Xiaoxiao accidentally discovered this place and unexpectedly found another group of survivors alive.

This surprised him a bit.

So they stayed here temporarily to see the situation because the people here told him a convoy went out to seek survival and hasn’t returned, so he wasn’t in a hurry.

As for whether it’s naturally safe here, that goes without saying.

The windows of this house were all shielded with metal plates, so even if zombies found this place, it would be very hard for them to break in.

"Thank you for the sweet potatoes, Brother Neng."

A man walked up to Sun Neng, chewing on a well-cooked sweet potato, speaking contentedly.

Sun Neng smiled and said, "No problem, we’re all survivors of the apocalypse, unity is what’s expected."

He was like an observer, watching everyone here. It seemed like everyone was united, but he could see that everyone had their own little thoughts. Human selfishness is innate, not cultivated later, so it doesn’t mean much.

"Brother Neng, have you ever thought about going to Huang City?"

"Huang City? Have you read the ’Zombie Album’ too?"

"Yes, I read it a long time ago, but it’s very far from us, and trying to go is really dangerous. Just now, everyone was discussing whether to take the risk and go check it out."

"Is it because of the food shortage?"

"Yes, that unknown zombie passed by here and corroded our land. No plants can be cultivated. If it weren’t for our houses having been sealed off with metal plates beforehand, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"What does everyone think?"

Sun Neng wanted to see what fierce sparks would fly when survivors would encounter some decision-making in the apocalyptic world.

Thinking of the situation in the prison.

Those survivors regarded He Mingxuan as a good person, even a savior, due to some kind gesture, which Sun Neng found laughably naive.

So he wanted to see what the survivors here were like.

"We don’t know yet."

"Oh."

Sun Neng replied simply, then looked at the kitchen, where a man and a woman were busy. The woman’s boyfriend was the man who had been talking to him. He said, to ensure his girlfriend’s safety, he was willing to give up his life and came here after countless hardships, hoping to survive.

As for the other man in the kitchen, he was one of the earliest batch of survivors here.

He had some say and status here.

Although the kitchen door was closed and it seemed like there wasn’t much interaction between the two,

With Sun Neng’s current ability, he could naturally hear the two of them having a cheerful conversation.

Man: "Wanna come to my room tonight?"

Woman: "Sure, but he sleeps very late, and sometimes gets up at midnight to go to the bathroom. I’m afraid he’ll find out."

Man: "It’s okay, I’ll give you some sleeping pills later, make him take them and sleep."

Woman: "Where did you get those?"

Man: "A few days ago, I secretly found some at a pharmacy when we passed by."

...

Sun Neng let out a quiet "heh," then looked at the man beside him, "Aren’t you going to find your girlfriend? Staying with me isn’t very entertaining."

The man said, "It’s fine. She’s washing dishes."

Sun Neng: "Oh..."

He didn’t warn the man, not wanting to disturb the balance here, and besides, he was a newcomer. If he spoke up, the result would be everyone unanimously targeting him and Han Xiaoxiao.

So he simply watched the situation unfold silently.

The apocalypse indeed brought out human nature in full swing.

Not long after.

"Everyone, come over for a discussion."

At this moment, a dark-skinned woman spoke up. Her name was Liu Na, and during peaceful times, she was a boxer. Although not an Awakener, her physical fitness was strong.

Moreover, after the baptism of the apocalypse, she can’t be described as ruthless, but she wouldn’t hesitate to chop zombies. Even when encountering humans that threatened the team, she wouldn’t hesitate to take action.

No choice, in the apocalypse you have to be like this.

Being kind-hearted often brings disaster to the team.

Unless you have strength like Lin Fan, otherwise it’s courting death.

"Brother Neng, they’re definitely discussing our future." The man tossed the sweet potato skin into the bonfire, whistling as he headed to the kitchen to fetch his girlfriend for the meeting.

Sun Neng softly whispered to Han Xiaoxiao, "Let’s go take a look too. Don’t speak, understand?"

"Yes, I understand." Han Xiaoxiao nodded, obediently listening to Sun Neng.

By the table.

Everyone sat there. Due to limited seating, Sun Neng and Han Xiaoxiao could only stand, and the man who had been talking to Sun Neng wanted to stand up to offer his seat, but Sun Neng pressed his shoulder down, shaking his head to signal it wasn’t necessary.

Liu Na looked at everyone.

"You all know the situation outside. The land is no longer suitable for planting, and our supplies are very low, so what we’re discussing is our way forward."

"I hope everyone will think carefully and not make hasty decisions."
