I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

Chapter 1286 - 305: Only Fate Matters, Not Money (Part 2)

"Brother Kai, you really are outstanding in my heart. In the whole shelter, besides Brother Lin, you’re the person I admire the most. When you were at the water plant back then, you risked everything to keep Huang City’s water running, saving so many people. If it were me, I definitely couldn’t have done it," Guan Hao said.

Wang Kai replied, "That’s all in the past, why bring it up? I believe if it were you, you’d do the same thing. Alright, let’s not talk about it. Let’s get ready quickly."

Guan Hao waved to the guys, "Let’s work, work..."

...

Three in the afternoon.

The whole Tianjiao Park was filled with people looking for matches.

Everyone was dressed neatly. If any survivors roaming outside saw this scene, they would exclaim, "What on earth are you doing? It’s the end of the world, and you’re dressed like this? Do you even know how terrifying the apocalypse is?"

"Mr. He, you’re here too?"

Zhou Yang was a bit surprised when he saw He Qing, especially at his attire — a proper Zhongshan suit, which still looked quite classy.

"Can’t I be here?" He Qing responded.

Zhou Yang said, "Of course you can be here, I was just asking. Honestly, I never thought Mr. He would consider matchmaking. In peaceful times, just a hint from you and countless people would flock to your side."

He Qing said, "Adding hope for the future is everyone’s responsibility. Alright, not gonna chat, need to find a good spot so there’s space later."

After speaking, he turned and walked away, not waiting for Zhou Yang to say anything more.

For He Qing, not being able to become an Awakener was truly painful. Though he seemed indifferent about it, he always had it on his mind.

He even went to see Professor Xia, just to ask if there were any other possibilities.

Professor Xia’s answer was to cherish his body and stop thinking about it.

He had to accept his fate.

Zhou Yang watched He Qing’s departing figure, sighing with admiration for Mr. He’s high awareness. Mr. He is truly Mr. He.

"I better find a good spot myself."

The crowd was overwhelming.

Even children joined the festivities.

The elderly gathered in groups, each bringing their own small stools, whispering and pointing. Often, a few seniors could dissect an entire life story during these chats.

"I think young Zheng is quite a nice lad."

"Yes, indeed, he’s enthusiastic and generous, good-looking too. Wonder which young girl will get to enjoy life with him."

"When I used to take my son to the park for matchmaking, you wouldn’t believe it, they demanded prestigious university degrees, jobs in big companies, and monthly salaries of certain amounts."

"Five thousand?"

"What five thousand? Fifty thousand! That’s why I say nowadays young girls demand too much, marriage could drain our family’s savings."

"Incredible, truly incredible."

Elderly folks love lively scenes. Surviving in the apocalypse wasn’t easy, and some had seen loved ones lost. The fear of the apocalypse was seen with their own eyes.

Can they live on?

Perhaps, but the chance is slim.

In reality, their children might be gone, but not seeing it firsthand leaves room for hope — their spiritual solace.

People from Sunshine Shelter treated these elderly kindly, making them feel warmth.

...

Guan Hao sat at his spot, displaying a sign with his personal details — name, age, zodiac, constellation, and his job in peacetime, etc.

The only absent details were his employer and salary.

His eyes furtively observed his surroundings, feeling both nervous and expectant.

In peacetime, he felt he had no advantage, but in the apocalypse, talks only revolved around fate, not money. He was somewhat hopeful.

Just then, a fragrance reached his nostrils.

He sniffed the scent, finding it really pleasant.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a graceful figure, becoming instantly nervous, but he pretended to be calm and looked up at the woman before him.

"Hello... hello." Guan Hao grew nervous but mustered the courage to greet the lady in front of him.

"Hi, my name is Liu Lanlan, can I get to know you?"

"Sure, of course."

The girl in front of him wasn’t particularly stunning but gave Guan Hao a feeling of delicate charm, just the type he liked.

"My name is Guan Hao, I’m 24, have a college diploma, and never had a girlfriend," Guan Hao thought it was perfectly fine to share these details.

Liu Lanlan said, "I know you. When I was first brought to Sunshine Shelter, I noticed you. You’d sit on the shop’s rooftop all day long."

"Ah..." Guan Hao was shocked, not expecting someone to have been watching him for so long. This news made his heart suddenly lively.

Could it be that I’m truly outstanding?

If I weren’t outstanding, then how did she notice me? Thinking of this, Guan Hao couldn’t help but gain confidence, perhaps outstanding people get noticed no matter where they are.

Liu Lanlan said, "Yes, it’s been a while, so I started looking for you as soon as I arrived today."

"Haha, is that so? I didn’t know," Guan Hao bashfully scratched the back of his head.
