"Okay, let's go back." After easily dealing with the zombies and carefully checking whether they were really dead, Lin An was ready to go back with everyone.

But people who were secretly watching nearby gathered around.

Xu Fang and Ouyang Dong immediately stood on both sides of Lin An, fearing what these people were going to do because of what they had learned in Ice and Snow City.

"You, you, you, were you the zombie you killed just now?"

"Oh my God, I thought such a big zombie was going to be doomed, but it was killed so easily." "Hello,

I am the person in charge of the Baize City rescue organization. This is my business card. If you haven't joined any organization yet, I hope you can consider us. We mainly do..."

Ouyang Dong used his strong body to block most people, but a few people were too flexible. Somehow he was taken advantage of, and he even handed Lin An a business card that he didn't know where it came from. He suspected that this guy was in sales before the end of the world, and his business ability was really strong.

Some people looked at Lin An with awe. Being able to kill such a zombie showed that the opponent's strength was unfathomable.

Faced with being surrounded by so many people, Lin An was a little nervous, but he soon discovered that he didn't seem to be afraid. Everyone's eyes were filled with awe, curiosity, and eagerness, which did not make anyone feel uncomfortable.

Although these glances are only temporary, they will not be so friendly when they know his identity. But Lin An is already very satisfied. He can feel that he is slowly getting better, no matter what has made him feel inferior and distressed in the past. Whether it's social phobia or mysophobia, everything is developing in a good direction. He is no longer afraid of people's eyes and can go out like a normal person.

And as his strength increased, he was no longer the Lin An who allowed others to bully him.

It's great to be able to leave home, leave Chuxi City and come to the outside world.

After seeing the sudden appearance of zombies, Shen Xiuze and Wu Duo also rushed over. When they arrived, they saw Lin An surrounded by a group of people.

Shen Xiuze immediately pushed aside the crowd and walked towards Lin An.

"Are you okay?" Shen Xiuze asked. He didn't think any zombies could stump Lin An, but these people might not.

"It's okay." Lin An smiled at him, his expression didn't look abnormal, and he was even more relaxed than usual.

Wu Duo and Ran Qing also squeezed in together. Many people here knew Ran Qing and even made room for her.

Ran Qing looked at the people in the middle. No one seemed injured, so that's good. That's good.

When she breathed a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly came from under her feet: "Zombie found, please kill."

The little white robot spoke in a calm child's voice while turning its arm into a broadsword and slashing straight at Lin An.

Xu Fang: "Is this Dafu?"

Ouyang Dong: "Why is it here? No, stop it first!"

Wu Duo immediately put the small robot in a battle-ready state into the space, but everyone heard what he just said.

Everyone looked at Lin An with confusion in their eyes. The crowd that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet.

Lin An lowered his head, not feeling uncomfortable because of the robot's words, nor panicking because of everyone's silence. He felt that he could deal with this calmly now. Suddenly there was warmth in the palm of his hand. Shen Xiuze stood next to him and held his hand.

No matter when, he will stand by Lin An's side.

"Okay, okay." Ran Qing clapped her hands and attracted everyone's attention. Many people here knew her, "His name is Lin An. He came from Chuxi City yesterday. As you can see, he is indeed It's a zombie."

Ran Qing even lifted Lin An's bangs to let everyone see his eyes.

At this time, some people have begun to retreat. For more than a year, people who have been troubled by zombies have formed a conditioned reflex. No matter how beautiful the red pupils are, in their eyes, they are just a symbol of the identity of the zombies.

"Although he is a zombie, he has never eaten humans. He has human thinking and reason, and will even protect humans when encountering zombies." Ran Qing glanced at the huge zombie corpse next to him, even though it had lost all its moisture , and it is still huge. This is the most convincing evidence, and it is what everyone has just seen with their own eyes.

"His physique is very special. We are also conducting research to find out the reason why he remains sane. The most important thing is that Lin An and his companions found a meteorite on their way here." Meteorite

? ? ?

"Everyone knows that zombies appeared after a meteor shower, and that meteorite appeared at about the same time as the zombies. It can even affect zombies and people with powers, so it is very likely to be the key to cracking the zombie virus." The crowd began.

There was a commotion. The meaning of these words was too important. Everyone could no longer care about the zombies and quickly asked Ran Qing for various details.

While Ran Qing explained, he downplayed Lin An's threatening nature.

Her approach was very effective, and everyone no longer paid attention to Lin An. Although a few people still felt uneasy and scared, this feeling was quickly dispelled by Ran Qing's inspiring words.

On the way back, Shen Xiuze asked his mother what to do if she couldn't research the zombie virus and how to crack it. After all, they had no effect for more than a year, and the meteorite had just been obtained, so it was impossible to get the results all at once, or even everything. These are all just conjectures and may not be possible to study.

"Everyone has been waiting for too long. We should give them some hope. Even if the meteorite has no effect, we will continue to study and one day we will find a way to restrain the zombie virus." Ran Qing looked at the city, originally The modern city is in devastation, and they don't know how long it will take to recover, but they will never give up.

Udo held Grandma Wu in her arms. Now that she has the medicine, she only needs to take the medicine on time to recover. For her, as long as her grandma is well, she will not be afraid no matter what the environment is or what difficulties she encounters.

"How come Dafu came out?" Xu Fang asked.

Although the little robot can do many things, it screams and kills every time it sees Lin An, so people rarely let it out of the space. Today it was running around outside. Fortunately, there were so many people there. Lin An's identity was exposed in front of him.

Udo: "We went to the medical building to download the information. There was too much information there and the equipment was old. We couldn't finish downloading it until tomorrow. Then I thought of Dafu and asked it to come out and give it a try. It didn't take long for it to be all downloaded. Dafu hasn't come out for a long time, so he didn't retract the space immediately."

If Mother Shen hadn't turned the tide, Lin An might have encountered bad things like those in the Ice and Snow City.

But now that everyone knows Lin An's identity, there is no need to pretend anymore.

When Ran Qing knew what Professor Zhang had done, he didn't say anything. After all, he was dead. He was indeed very talented. If he studied in a good direction, he might really be able to make some achievements. It was just a short walk. By the way, human research alone has already touched the bottom line.

After returning to the research institute, Ran Qing and all the researchers immediately started researching. The materials obtained from Lin An and the meteorites were new research topics. They seized all the time and worked on the research without sleep or food.

Wu Duo is taking care of Grandma Wu. Grandma Wu has to take medicine on time and supplement nutrition. The journey they have walked is too long and too difficult. Even though Grandma Wu is in good health and has persisted in walking, this time The journey still put a strain on her body, so she needed some time to rest.

And Ouyang Dong has become half of the employees of the institute. He can catalyze plants at an astonishing speed. Now, except for some medicinal materials that have been completely used up, the institute has no shortage of other medicinal materials.

Xu Fang worked as a construction worker. He found that he could not help here much, so he ran outside to help. The places where many people lived were destroyed, so now he is busy rebuilding various buildings with everyone. He made a group of friends wherever he went.

These friends of his even helped find the group of Professor Zhang's accomplices. Xu Fang was a petty person. When several of them were escaping, he actually dared to push them. He was really impatient. Moreover, these people helped Professor Zhang kill many people, and those who came to take revenge were also the families of those who were captured for experiments.

In short, those guys ended up miserable.

When staying with the people in Baize City, Xu Fang would also tell stories about their journey and the highlight moments of Shen Xiuze and Lin An. Many people also knew Lin An from his stories, and knew about this bird. The zombie turns out to be a social phobia plus a super mysophobia who is very afraid of people and also has a dog.

Everyone is very interested in Lin An. As the only zombie with human reason, he is indeed very concerning. Some people who have only heard about it think that sooner or later, zombies will still be able to reveal their true nature, but when you know He actually had a dog from before the apocalypse, and the dog was still alive and kicking, and suddenly he didn't feel so scared anymore.

It's like a very vicious-looking person raising a very cute little animal. This contrast of cuteness makes everyone feel that he is more like a living human being, so their attitude towards him has improved.

Lin An now lives in Shen Xiuze's house. Their family has several apartments in Baize City. After the apocalypse, Shen's father and Shen's mother basically stayed in the research institute and never went back. Moreover, some places are still in zombie-intensive areas, and they are all idle. Lin An and Shen Xiuze Cleaned up the zombies around one of the houses and moved in.

Udo's space stores all the things in Lin An's home, and now these things finally have a place to put them. My own bed and wardrobe, as well as the specially set aside study room, are filled with books. There are also family photos on the bedside table, notes left by my parents in the drawer, etc. It feels like I have returned to my own home, and nothing has changed.

Lin An was very grateful to everyone for taking these things away when he was unconscious. He is a very nostalgic person, and everything here carries the best memories of his childhood.

He was satisfied with this.

Occasionally, Lin An would go out to deal with zombies. When he met people, he found that many people would look at him curiously, and some even came up to say hello.

He was a little flattered. After all, his identity was exposed and it was good enough not to be expelled. Everyone actually greeted him.

Shen Xiuze knew what Xu Fang had done. In fact, the people in Baize City were very receptive. They had seen all kinds of strange cases. Although they were afraid of Lin An because of their fear of zombies, Lin An's appearance meant a lot to them. Isn't it a hope? Since one can have human thinking after becoming a zombie, does it mean that other people who have become zombies can also regain their sanity?

Because of this concept, everyone was more enthusiastic towards him, and some even came up to ask him what he had done to regain his sanity.

Lin An: He doesn't know either. Maybe it's because of mysophobia?

Two weeks later, Shen Xiuze's father finally returned from Banyuedao. He and his companions went through all kinds of hardships to collect the needed medicinal materials. However, when they returned to the research institute, they found that there were so many medicinal materials in the warehouse that they could hardly contain them. .

And his wife was busy doing research and had no time to talk to him.

The only thing that was gratifying was that his son came back alive. He originally wanted to reminisce with his son. After all, he hadn't seen him for three years, but his son had a partner and they were busy falling in love. There was no time to reminisce with him, and even his The good son also asked him to help walk the dog.

Father Shen: "..."

Seeing the reluctant big yellow dog looking at the two people who had walked away aggrievedly, Father Shen felt that he was aggrieved too.

The device that Professor Zhang previously developed to control zombies could only be used by those who surrendered to him and were close confidants. Now that he is dead, this device has been used by everyone to control the zombies in the city one by one and control them to go to remote places. places, and do some work building cities.

Some powerful zombies were also cleared away by Lin An, Chen Xiuze, and other people with powers.

The whole city gradually became alive. Everyone began to build the city and replant plants. After having superpowers, these tasks became easier.

Two months later, Ran Qing finally came out of seclusion, and their research made a major discovery.

That meteorite contains powerful energy that can change the physiques of superpowers and zombies, making them stronger.

They will continue to study what methods can be used to make humans stronger. If everyone's physique can be enhanced, then the survival rate of humans will also be greatly increased.

There has also been some progress in Lin An's research.

Researchers have previously wondered why some people turn into zombies and others don't. Although everyone thinks it has something to do with physical fitness, there are some elderly people, sick people and children who have not turned into zombies, and there are also a lot of young people with good physical fitness who have turned into zombies.

Finally, research found that it was because some people had a high degree of fusion with the zombie virus and would be infected just by contact in the air. This was also the source of the first batch of zombies.

But this is a personal physical problem, and there is no way to intervene later. Just like some people are born with double eyelids, and some people are born with high-pitched voices, they cannot be changed.

But Lin An is very strange. His physique is not easily infected, but his physical constitution is very poor, his desire for survival is not high, his negative emotions are too strong, and he is even a little malnourished, so the zombies in his body were initially The virus gained the upper hand, but later on as his physique, spirit, and will strengthened, the zombie virus was suppressed.

Although he still looks like a zombie now, he will slowly turn back into a human over time.

He is an exception and cannot be replicated.

Based on his situation, researchers want to develop a drug that can inhibit the zombie virus in the body. Although it cannot restore people who have become zombies, as long as this drug is successful, people in the future will not be infected. Infect.

The most important raw material for this final potion was found in meteorites.

Sure enough, as Shen Xiuze thought, Lin An and the meteorite he brought back became the key to ending the apocalypse.

But the biggest problem at the moment is that there are too few meteorites. They only have this one piece, but they need it in many places, not only for humans, but also for various animals, plants, and creatures in the ocean.

People in Baize City saw hope and worked harder and harder. Various large and small organizations began to merge, jointly divided areas and began to build new living bases. They knew that the end of the world would soon pass, so they worked harder to recover. The original appearance of the city.

Since he learned that he would become a human again, Lin An no longer bothered about the color of his eyes. He wanted to leave Baize City and continue looking for meteorites.

Although Baize City is very good and the people here are also very good, he also fulfilled his long-cherished wish since he was a child and found his parents.

But he still prefers to venture into the wilderness. In the past, he only liked to stay at home and was afraid of contact with people. But in fact, this forced trip made him gain a lot.

He overcame his illness, found a companion, and someone he liked, which made him stronger and stronger mentally.

He found joy in adventure.

Since he needs more meteorites now, he will go to the wilderness to look for meteorites.

Shen Xiuze naturally wanted to go with him. He was also an adventurous person, otherwise he would not have become an explorer.

Everyone else will stay in Baize City. Grandma Wu's illness has improved a lot, but after all, she is old and can no longer take risks. Wu Duo has to take care of grandma. She is now fifteen years old and is still at school age. In Baize City The survivors were preparing to open a school, so she continued to attend school in the meantime.

Ouyang Dong and Xu Fang originally wanted to go with them, but this time Shen Xiuze and Lin An were going to a wilderness area that no one had ever been to. Even Grandma Wu had never been to that wilderness when she was young. , it is full of dangers, there is no map, and no one alive knows what is there.

After the end of the world, animals and plants mutate, and the danger increases exponentially. Xu Fang and Ouyang Dong are not strong enough.

Xiaofu was going to leave it to Grandma Wu. She gradually regained her consciousness. There was nothing to do in her retirement life anyway, so it was just right to ask her to help support her for a while.

But when Shen Xiuze and Lin An carried their luggage, said goodbye to everyone, and left on the boat, Xiaofu somehow jumped into the sea and swam towards the boat they were on.

By the time Lin An pulled it onto the boat, Xiaofu had turned into a drowned dog, trembling pitifully and looking at Lin An.

Lin An couldn't bear it, but it was too dangerous outside, and they only carried a small amount of luggage. They might not even be able to supply Xiao Fu with food. After all, they didn't have space powers like Wu Duo, who could take Xiao Fu away. Everything is kept inside for ready access. The climate of the wilderness is unknown, whether there is food or not, and it is not even clear what dangers there are.

Everything is unknown, and Xiaofu will only suffer if he follows them.

Shen Xiuze was asked to turn the boat back, while Lin An reasoned with Xiaofu. Although he knew that Xiaofu couldn't understand, Lin An raised Xiaofu like a child. He only hoped that he could stay well in Baize City, where the best place was. Security is where it fits best.

"Xiao Fu, be obedient. We didn't bring dog food. If you follow us, you won't have food to eat. How about you go back? I will be back in a year at most."

Xiao Fu hummed and stared at Lin An, with a pair of big eyes filled with prayer, and used his paws to He dug at Lin An's legs and bowed repeatedly, but this time Lin An was very determined and completely unmoved.

"No, you have to go back. There is no dog food,
