Really Too Terrifying (Thanks to Tong Tang for the Alliance Leader)

Looking at the scenery along the street, aside from zombies wandering inside shops, he could not see a single living person.

He somewhat wanted to talk to a living person.

Not about anything else.

He just wanted to ask them, "Are you okay?"

"Do you need help? I'm planning to do delivery work now. If there's anything I can help with, just give me a little compensation."

Bang!

As he passed a street, the second-floor window of a storefront suddenly shattered, and a figure fell from the second floor.

The man was covered in blood. Especially when he hit the ground, his ankle twisted, and the sound of bone tearing rang out. It had definitely cracked; otherwise, it could not have made that sound.

"Ah, Ma Dong, fuck your mother!" Zhang Quan roared viciously. He had not expected Ma Dong to dare do this.

Suddenly.

Three zombies crashed through the window.

"Don't come over! Get the hell away from me..." Zhang Quan's face twisted in terror when he saw the zombies. He wanted to flee, but his cracked ankle made it difficult to move.

He could not believe that Ma Dong had let the zombies in just to take revenge on him, killing the other two, while Ma Dong hid somewhere and avoided the zombies' pursuit.

By the time Zhang Quan reacted, he was already surrounded by three zombies. Looking at their filthy mouths and savage expressions, even though he was quite brave, he was too frightened to resist. All he could think of was jumping out the window to save himself.

Who would have thought that jumping out the window would break his leg? There were also bite wounds on his body from the zombies, blood gurgling out endlessly.

Lin Fan stopped his bike and looked at the situation ahead. He had not expected there to be survivors, but things did not look good.

On the second floor, a figure appeared by the edge of the dark window.

"Zhang Quan, this is mine, mine! Who the hell do you think you are? Just because you're bigger, you think you can bully me? You're asking to die!" Ma Dong grabbed the gold chain around his neck as if declaring ownership and shouted furiously down at Zhang Quan.

"No!" Tears and snot streamed down Zhang Quan's face. The three zombies before him put him under enormous pressure, and the pain throughout his body made him feel death approaching.

In moments of despair, people could unleash hidden strength.

Though he could barely move, he struggled to get up, dragging his crippled leg as he tried to leave.

At that moment, Zhang Quan noticed Lin Fan stopped some distance away, and hope abruptly surged in his heart.

"Save me, save me..." He stretched out a hand toward Lin Fan, trying to grab him. That was his final hope.

Lin Fan looked calm, though he was puzzled. Who was this guy?

Still, even if he was only passing by, he did not like being a bystander.

One still needed to be compassionate.

Nine years of compulsory education had led him down the bright path.

Especially someone as outstanding as him among those who had received nine years of compulsory education—there was no way he could stand by and do nothing.

As for whether the other man, covered in blood and in such a miserable state, might falsely accuse him afterward, that was not something he wanted to worry about.

Even if someone asked, "You weren't the one who pushed him from upstairs, so why did you save him?" he did not feel like explaining.

Splat!

Blood sprayed everywhere as the three zombies pounced on Zhang Quan. Flesh and blood flew through the air, and the scene was brutally gruesome.

A miserable scream burst from Zhang Quan's throat.

"This..."

Lin Fan froze. He had not expected the zombies to move so quickly. It was also his own fault for babbling internally about all sorts of lofty ideas, which had slowed him down. He was truly helpless about it.

He had genuinely wanted to save someone. He had not wanted to be a bystander.

Unfortunately, he was sorry about that. He had thought too much and failed to pay attention to the situation.

Even though he had not wanted to be a bystander, he had still become one.

"HAHAHAHA..."

"Dead."

"He's finally dead! Good death! Everything here is mine, all mine."

"Who else will dare bully me now?"

Standing at the second-floor window, Ma Dong laughed wildly and viciously, showing signs of losing his mind. He had caused the deaths of those around him, yet not only did he feel no guilt, he felt mentally exhilarated.

"Hey, is there something a little wrong with your head? Do you need me to call someone for you?" Lin Fan looked up at the second floor. The man laughing so manically seemed rather insane, like some sort of mental patient.

He dialed 120.

No one answered. It was a little helpless. Even if he wanted to help the man, there was nothing he could do. Maybe the hospital had been surrounded by zombies too.

Ma Dong, immersed in his manic joy, heard this and looked at Lin Fan. His gaze gradually turned vicious, and his expression twisted.

"Even a stranger like you wants to laugh at me?"

"I'm telling you, that's impossible. This is the apocalypse now. I can kill whoever I want, do whatever I want. Only by being ruthless will I avoid being bullied."

Looking at him, he was truly insane.

Lin Fan had always thought that everyone would calmly face what was happening now.

That they would face the emergence of new species with composure.

But looking at the current situation, he felt quite helpless.

"Urgh... urgh..."

At that moment, Zhang Quan, who had not moved at all, began trembling as though he had been electrocuted. He suddenly opened his eyes. The black and white in them gradually faded, replaced by a murky gray.

His waist bent, his head tilted backward, and a large amount of blood sprayed from the mouth on the half of his face that remained.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Like a fish out of water, Zhang Quan kept flapping against the ground.

The three zombies feeding on Zhang Quan stiffened. Clearly, they had not expected their prey to become one of their kind.

Suddenly.

With a roll, Zhang Quan got to his feet.

Roar!

The four zombies roared at Lin Fan. Thick fluid dripped from the corners of their mouths onto the ground.

"HAHAHA! Bite him to death! Bite him to death! Tear him into pieces for me!" Ma Dong screamed madly, eagerly awaiting the sight of the zombies biting Lin Fan to death.

While his companions had been resting, he had opened the door and drawn in zombies, getting them killed. He had used his life to take revenge. There might have been accidents, but he had succeeded. He had survived, while the other three had all been killed by him.

"When faced with danger, I can only protect myself." Lin Fan had no objection to or prejudice against zombies as a new species.

If you do not provoke me, I will not provoke you.

But if you threaten my life, then I can only act.

Roar!

The four zombies pounced. An ordinary person would never be able to withstand them. Even with a weapon in hand, surviving so easily against zombies like these was impossible. After all, these zombies were not slow or weak.

Ma Dong watched excitedly, already consumed by madness.

Lin Fan held his kitchen knife and brought it down. A head flew high into the air.

One slash, one little zombie.

There were only four zombies. It was simple, and there would not be much trouble. Besides, the zombie that had been eaten down to half its body only counted as half a zombie. It could not run and was very slow.

Other than gaining four points.

Nothing else happened.

Ma Dong, standing on the second floor and preparing to watch a zombie feast, was dumbfounded.

He had not expected all four zombies to be killed by the other man.

Lin Fan rode his bicycle a little farther forward until he was directly below the second floor. Raising his head, he met Ma Dong's gaze.

After a moment of silence.

He did not ride away. Instead, he wanted to talk with him. Being able to redeem a stranger who had lost himself in the apocalypse felt like something meaningful.

"Let me tell you, what you're doing is wrong," Lin Fan said.

"What's wrong?" Ma Dong stared at him in shock, still unable to recover from the sight of him killing the zombies. So fast, truly so fast. One slash per zombie. His strength and speed had both reached their peak.

It was truly terrifying.

"Your current state is very bad. You need to adjust yourself properly." He truly hoped he could awaken the other man and stop him from losing himself further. There was really something wrong with him. If this continued, he would become a terrifying mad dog.

"Bullshit! I'm in great shape right now. I've never felt this good. I'm telling you, this is the best era! Whoever dares bully me will die! And you, get the hell out of my sight right now, or I'll make you regret it!" Ma Dong roared, his eyes bloodshot and utterly crazed.

"Ah." Lin Fan sighed. "You can't think like that. Killing people is a crime. You'll go to prison. You're still young, so you can't be this hot-tempered."

When he said that, Ma Dong could no longer hold back his laughter.

"HAHA... A crime? I think you're fucking stupid. Have you read novels? Watched movies? The apocalypse is here, zombies are everywhere, and there are no laws anymore. As long as I'm happy, I can do anything. Even killing people comes with no burden at all."

Ma Dong liked this feeling—the lawless world where he could kill anyone he wanted. That was the most exhilarating thing.

And now some idiot was telling him it was a crime. Ridiculous. It was simply too ridiculous.

"So the apocalypse arriving is your reason to kill people as you please?"

"If someone indulges in lowly pleasures, what makes them any different from animals?"

"If you had received nine years of compulsory education and understood history, you would know that even in difficult times, when lives were worth less than grass, some people still sacrificed themselves for righteousness. Some would not take even a needle or thread. Even when they needed something, they discussed it with others and wrote an IOU."

Lin Fan felt regretful. As expected, people came in different kinds.

Some had principles. No matter what the world became, they maintained their moral boundaries.

Others simply acted according to the times.

Just because the apocalypse had arrived, they began killing, robbing, and hurting people at will.

"You're so annoying! Go die! Go die! I'll let the zombies bite you to death!" Ma Dong shouted loudly, his voice spreading through the surroundings.

He wanted to draw the zombies over.

Roar!

Zombies answered him.

Bang!

Bang!

Some zombies jumped down from upstairs, crashing onto the ground with broken arms and legs. Some had holes smashed open in their heads, brains spilling out, yet they still crawled viciously toward Lin Fan.

Other zombies rushed out from dark corners, charging at him savagely.

The sound of running footsteps grew dense.

He had drawn over many zombies.

"Ah, pathetic. I don't want to talk to you anymore." Lin Fan rode his bicycle, preparing to leave. There were too many zombies. It was truly frightening. He had not expected there to be so many.

However, as he was leaving.

He saw Ma Dong fall from the second floor.

He had been too arrogant and too crazed, clinging to the window while wildly flailing his arms.

He had been too excited.

One careless moment, and he fell.

"Big brother, save me! Save me..."

"I was wrong, I really was wrong! Save me, get me out of here..."

Seeing the zombies closing in around him, Ma Dong screamed in terror.

Without even turning his head, Lin Fan pedaled his bicycle wildly and sped away like lightning.

The zombies chased after him.

But Ma Dong's voice drew them in, and they began tearing into him madly.

"Fuck your mother! You lunatic, you psycho! I'm going to chop you to death!"

"Ah!"

Lin Fan looked back at Ma Dong, surrounded by zombies.

"Evil people will meet their match."

"Those who bring disaster upon themselves cannot live."

"It has nothing to do with me."

After getting his salary, he was in a wonderfully happy mood. Riding his little yellow bike, he felt like he was flying, almost floating.
