Chapter 54: Full of Resentment

Lin Nan finally found Fang Lin.

“Use a plane to transport a batch of supplies there so the situation would stabilize. I’ll think of a way to get rid of the zombies and protect the base.”

“You’re not retreating?”

Fang Lin frowned. He was confused.

“There’s still a chance.”

“What are you thinking?”

“The bait plan. It might work…”

The zombies were acting strangely because they were attracted by something.

Ever since the apocalypse started, Lin Nan had studied the zombies’ behavior. He knew more about them than most people. However, nothing was confirmed.

“Come with me. I have something that we might be able to use in my lab. Even if it doesn’t work, I still have another plan.”

Fang Lin did not hesitate at all and immediately followed Lin Nan.

Suddenly, he remembered something and asked curiously, “Where is sister-in-law? Her parents are already at the other safety base. Although the place is small, it’s much better than here.”

“She’s quite capable. She managed to quickly organize things and gained people’s trust. Perhaps that’s her special ability, although I’m not sure if it’s good or bad.”

Lin Nan replied, “Well, we need to calm everyone down before we can do anything. We still need to investigate this matter. Once we do, it’ll be a turning point.”

“Yes.”

…

No matter where Li Ran went, she would attract people’s attention. It started with Cui Chong. Now, she had close relationships with the people from the military. She was definitely not an ordinary woman. Some people were jealous of her while others tried to win her favor.

However, there were two soldiers with guns behind her, so they dared not get close to her for the time being.

All of a sudden, a teenager mysteriously came up to her and said, “Your name is Li Ran, right? I have an idea. Would you like to listen to it?”

“What idea?”

Li Ran looked around as she walked.

There were people who had already given up. They sat in a corner with a bitter expression on their face and did utter a single word. When others passed by them, they simply raised their heads indifferently.

Some were even resting and sleeping on the ground. The noisy environment had no effect on them.

‘Where is Lin Ke?’

Li Ran wondered where she could have gone.

“There’s a person here who has the ability to see miles away. Would you consider working together?”

“How?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet. I told you it’s just an idea, right?”

The youth grinned. He was not affected by the chaotic atmosphere at all. In fact, he was still full of energy.

Li Ran stared at him for a few seconds. Then, she said, “Don’t worry. The military won’t abandon you. Just stay here and wait for instructions.”

The young man pursed his lips and was about to speak but before he could, a man began shouting in dismay.

“The zombies are coming! I don’t know how, but they just came through the walls…”

The young man’s expression instantly changed after hearing that. He pulled Li Ran and quickly said, “You’re boarding the plane, right? Take me with you. Let’s go before the others notice.”

Unfortunately, their conversation was overheard by the people nearby. They looked confused and were filled with fear.

A soldier forcefully dragged the young man by his collar in hopes of stopping him from talking.

“Let go!”

The young man said helplessly, “Why are you concerned with me? You know that you’re all going to die soon, right?”

He looked at the plane that was landing from afar and struggled violently before breaking free.

Then, he looked at Li Ran anxiously.

“Are you coming or not?”

“We need to solve the issue here so we can save everyone else.”

When the youth heard what Li Ran said, he could not help but let out a laugh.

“Ridiculous. I took a fancy to your cold and merciless attitude. Who would have thought that you would actually want to rescue everybody?”

The youth then sighed.

“Look at all these people. How can you save them? They won’t listen to you and are only full of resentment.”
