Chapter 61: Gu Fan Descends, Violently Suppresses
The true controller of the Hospital Base.
The boss behind Nurse Xia Yan.
The most mysterious powerhouse among the survivors’ circle in the southern part of the city.
Cruel, vicious, ruthless, vengeful—every single one of these descriptions pointed to the same person, and that was Gu Fan!
And now, the very embodiment of those descriptions stood calmly before everyone, a mocking smile on his face, as if nothing in the room could stir his interest.
“Aiya, sorry I’m late.”
Gu Fan broke the silence on his own, speaking as he walked to the conference table with Nurse Xia Yan and sat down.
He casually crossed his legs and propped them on the table.
“Just now, it seemed like I heard something targeting our Hospital Base? Could the one who said it please repeat it?”
With that, he squinted and swept his gaze over the room once more.
For a moment, the entire meeting room fell into silence.
Everyone looked at the bearded man who had been the first to incite others to act.
The man’s expression kept changing. His rational mind told him to immediately back down.
But emotionally, in front of so many people watching, how could he swallow his pride?
Everyone present here was a leader of a survivor base.
Within their own bases, they were like little emperors. When had they ever bowed their heads?
Not to mention, if he backed down now, how would he face anyone later?
At that thought, the man stiffened his spine.
“I said it. Just now we were all discussing the southern clean-up plan, which benefits everyone. All we needed from Nurse Xia Yan was a bit of grain. Isn’t that reasonable?”
Gu Fan smiled, leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head, and nodded as he replied:
“Go on, keep talking.”
Seeing Gu Fan not making any move, the man grew bolder.
“In my opinion, the Hospital Base has so much food, why not share some of it? We’ll definitely pay it back later when we have surplus. And also, you’ve been hoarding a huge number of Zombie Corpses—shouldn’t you explain that secret to us?”
At this point, several others who had acted together also chimed in.
“That’s right. You’re Gu Fan, aren’t you? I heard you’re the one in charge of the Hospital Base. That subordinate of yours, Nurse Xia Yan, is far too selfish! Right now, everyone’s working together to clear out the Zombies!”
“Exactly! At worst, we’ll return double later. Zombies are humanity’s greatest enemy right now. We should be united!”
“I agree too...”
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
Gu Fan slowly stood up and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
“So basically, you all wanted a free ride. Xia Yan refused, and so you ganged up on her?”
“Looks like I’ve overestimated all of you.”
At this point, the bearded man frowned and said:
“Gu Fan—”
Before he could finish speaking—
A violent gust of wind erupted within the conference room.
Everyone saw only a blur flash by.
The bearded man’s body was instantly sent flying sideways, twisted like a broken sack.
“Stop!”
Qian Lidong had actually been on alert all along, but Gu Fan moved too fast—he had no time to stop him!
Gu Fan didn’t pause.
In the next second, he appeared before another attacker of Nurse Xia Yan.
With a fierce kick, he struck the man square in the chest.
The man’s chest instantly caved in with a crisp sound of breaking bones.
His body slammed backward into the wall behind him.
The thick steel-reinforced concrete, dozens of centimeters thick, shattered under the immense force!
It was clear the man couldn’t have survived!
Seeing this, the remaining four attackers tried to flee.
This Gu Fan gave no warning before acting—one second he seemed ready to negotiate, the next he turned into a ferocious beast, erupting in violence!
“Trying to run?!”
Gu Fan sneered, channeling Spiritual Energy and casually pointing out a few fingers!
Several streaks of black light shot toward them.
Pupupupu!!
After several sharp sounds, four more corpses were added to the conference room!
And all of this happened within just a few seconds.
Even if the others wanted to stop it, they didn’t have time to react!
Gu Fan walked over to Qian Lidong with a look of disdain, wiping his hand on the man’s clothes.
“A bunch of trash, not even worth dirtying my hands to kill, and you think you’re worthy of calling my name directly?”
Only after speaking did he feign realization and offered an apologetic look.
“Ah, sorry about that, borrowed your clothes to wipe my hand, hope you don’t mind?”
Qian Lidong’s face darkened, but he didn’t move.
Pa!
Gu Fan reversed his palm and slapped, instantly smashing half of Qian Lidong’s lower jaw.
Everyone could even see the exposed gums!
“Left your throat at home? Can’t say ‘it’s okay’?”
At this moment, Qian Lidong no longer dared to act tough.
This man was completely unpredictable, his personality entirely inscrutable—he struck the moment he felt like it!
“N-no problem…”
Gu Fan burst into laughter and sat back down at the conference table.
“Evolver really is different, even after I smashed his mouth he’s still this polite.”
The entire room fell silent.
No one dared to even breathe loudly.
What kind of strength was this!
In mere seconds, six Level 4 experts were killed, and Qian Lidong was suppressed to the point he didn’t dare speak.
Such overwhelming power could shatter reinforced concrete with a single strike, and his speed was so fast the naked eye couldn’t catch it.
They even doubted—was this truly human strength?
Add laser eyes and they’d believe he was a superhero!
Just then, the doors of the conference room opened once more.
A group of fully armed people swiftly entered, followed by a man with slightly graying hair but a rosy complexion.
“My name is Huang Quan. My sincerest apologies to the two from the Hospital Base. This was a lapse on our part at the Security Base.”
Seeing this, Nurse Xia Yan’s expression grew colder.
“So the Security Base even planted people here. Was this a plan to wipe us out if talks failed?”
Huang Quan chuckled.
“That’s not it. We from the Security Base simply feared a sudden Zombie Horde and stationed guards here to protect everyone.”
As he spoke, he ordered men to help Qian Lidong up, while keeping wary of Gu Fan making a move.
“Hold it. Who said you could touch him?”
Huang Quan’s expression stiffened. Seeing Gu Fan staring at him dangerously, he dared not move rashly.
“How dare you, who do you think you are!”
Just then, a young man behind Huang Quan spoke out, his face full of arrogant superiority, as if he thought this place was still under his Security Base.
Whoosh!
Seeing this, Nurse Xia Yan acted immediately.
An Ice Crystal shot toward the youth without warning.
The guard beside Huang Quan reacted in time, moving to block the attack.
His skin instantly turned to stone, managing to stop the strike.
However, his entire arm was frozen into a purplish-black block, clearly seriously injured!
The young man’s face went pale with fright. The Ice Crystal had already appeared right in front of him.
Had it been a second later, he’d be a corpse!
“When adults are speaking, don’t interrupt. Or you might never speak again!”
Huang Quan’s face was extremely ugly—his grandson had nearly died right before his eyes!
At this moment, all the soldiers who had recovered raised their rifles and aimed at Gu Fan and Nurse Xia Yan.
It seemed like, with one order from Huang Quan, they’d open fire!
“Enough.”
Gu Fan casually waved his hand, and all the guns were bent into ninety-degree angles by an invisible force, completely rendered useless.
“Don’t point those useless fire sticks at me. They’re no good.”
“I can assure you, if I want to, none of you will leave this room alive. So let’s sit and talk properly—no more of these games, they’re boring.”
Looking at the bent weapons, Huang Quan finally forced out a smile.
“Very true. My boy was being naughty. I’ll make sure he’s disciplined. Let’s return to the main topic.”
