Chapter 79: Chapter 79: No One Can Hurt My Dad!
As a police officer, Zhao Lin keenly sensed that the invisible person in the shadows must have some kind of connection with the zombie before her.
Otherwise, when she attacked other zombies, the invisible person did not react at all.
But uniquely for this zombie in front of her, the invisible person repeatedly warned her not to harm it.
And now, she’s even restricted by a force directly applied on her...
"This Invisible one is an Evolver, yet hasn’t joined the human team. Could it be for this zombie?!"
Feeling Ji Ruxue’s unique attitude towards Lu Chuan, Zhao Lin’s mind instantly filled with various scenarios.
The other party is clearly a strong Human Evolver, yet has always hidden in the shadows and refused to show themselves.
Evidently wanting to destroy the zombies, yet using this peculiar ability to restrict her movements...
At that moment, Zhao Lin couldn’t help but recall the early days of the apocalypse, participating in rescue operations as a police officer and seeing many survivors who had lost loved ones.
Many could not accept that their family and friends had turned into zombies, insisting it was just a disease and refused to take action against them.
Sentiments of family loyalty made these people unwilling to accept the fact that their loved ones were gone.
Now, Zhao Lin considered this invisible person as someone like those she encountered before.
After imagining a scene of family separation by life and death, a trace of sympathy flashed in Zhao Lin’s eyes.
"This invisible one is still too indecisive..."
"Apocalypse comes and family leaves, it is undoubtedly a sad thing, but the opponent in front is obviously a bloodthirsty zombie, and now a puppet of the Corpse King..."
Zhao Lin sighed helplessly, feeling obligated as a police officer to let this Evolver see the truth.
Immediately, Zhao Lin shouted loudly, "Open your eyes and take a good look, he is now a zombie!"
"Do you think you are saving him? No, you are harming him!"
"He has long lost his sanity and is no longer human, could you wake up?!"
"If you really care for him, you should let him escape this bloodthirsty body soon!"
At this time, Zhao Lin was firmly convinced that the Evolver hidden in the shadows couldn’t let go of past family ties, hence the indecision.
Zhao Lin’s sudden actions left Lu Chuan dumbfounded.
"Why is this woman suddenly shouting at the air?"
"Is she talking to the Evolver hiding in the dark?"
Lu Chuan glanced at the zombies beside him, feeling puzzled.
"Is it possible that within the Corpse Puppets I control, there exists a relative of that Evolver? Is that why they keep watching my Sunshine District?"
Focused on stopping Zhao Lin, Lu Chuan was unaware that Zhao Lin and Ji Ruxue were discussing him, not other zombies.
Away from the scene, Ji Ruxue naturally heard Zhao Lin’s words but had no intention to explain.
Because Ji Ruxue knew that even if she explained, the other would never believe it.
After all, if she hadn’t experienced it herself, she wouldn’t believe it either.
Although her father is a zombie, he remarkably retains human consciousness!
In this matter, Ji Ruxue holds only one stance: no one can harm her father!
Though having two lifetimes, she has never felt the warmth of family.
Only after rebirth did she feel in her zombie father the care and attention, being remembered and looked after every day...
With her zombie father, Ji Ruxue felt real familial affection.
After the apocalypse, humans had long abandoned humanity, and for Ji Ruxue, those despicable humans were no more noble than her zombie father.
Seeing the invisible person fall silent after hearing her words, Zhao Lin thought she had successfully convinced them.
In her heart, Zhao Lin sighed quietly, "Just as I thought, this invisible one has an unspeakable past."
"It doesn’t matter, since you can’t be ruthless, let me help you sever ties with the painful past!"
"Zombies are zombies, humans are humans, it’s time for you to fully awaken!"
Zhao Lin immediately attacked Lu Chuan again, with moves becoming even more ruthless than before.
Lu Chuan grew in constant combat, while Zhao Lin, as an Evolver, was also learning. Both their combat skills were continually improving.
Though Zhao Lin wished to kill the zombie, Lu Chuan’s combat skills were entirely above hers.
Furthermore, with several other Evolved Zombies assisting, Zhao Lin was no match for Lu Chuan and had to rely on Ji Ruxue saving her from the shadows time and again.
Even after being saved multiple times, Zhao Lin’s resolve to kill Lu Chuan only grew stronger.
In Zhao Lin’s view, only by killing the zombie before her could she truly help the invisible one in the shadows.
For the living, having family members turned into zombies feels like an invisible chain binding them to the pre-apocalypse.
"Poor invisible one, even as an Evolver, why can’t you see the truth?"
"No matter who he was in life, he has now turned into a zombie, a bloodthirsty, killing zombie!"
"He doesn’t recognize your face, can’t discern your voice, he will only rabidly hunt you because of the scent of the living on you..."
Zhao Lin’s dagger swung faster and faster, seemingly making aiding the invisible one by severing the past her more significant goal.
In Zhao Lin’s eyes, the dead are gone, and the living continue; dwelling in the past benefits no one.
Since the dawn of the apocalypse over two months ago, Zhao Lin had helped numerous survivors by killing zombies that were once family many times.
At this moment, Lu Chuan was unwilling. Clearly stronger than Zhao Lin, yet the hidden Evolver repeatedly stopped him.
The feeling of having strength but unable to use it made Lu Chuan burn with rage but left helpless.
Once more enslaved by the mysterious force holding him in place, watching Zhao Lin’s dagger nearing his forehead, Lu Chuan struggled but to no avail.
At that moment, only the image of Little Qiqi appeared in Lu Chuan’s mind.
"Little Qiqi, I’m sorry, Dad tried his best."
"I never expected I could not keep my promise; it’s Dad’s fault for not protecting you..."
Just as Zhao Lin’s dagger was about to pierce Lu Chuan’s forehead, she was once again immobilized by Ji Ruxue.
"I’ve told you, you cannot harm him!"
Ji Ruxue’s voice was filled with anger, even carrying a trace of chilling killing intent!
