Chapter 230: Five Minutes
The newcomers were shocked by the statement of the medicine's influential figure, Wang Shixiong.
Liang Hongshen could not understand why the most respected medical predecessor would listen to Chu Han.
"Doctor Wang, do you need help?" Liang Hongshen started to image, "Is Chu Han threatening you?"
Wang Shixiong felt angry but amused at the same time. "Chu Han isn't a threat to others. The people on the ferry are free to do whatever they want. I can't force you to believe what I'm saying, but I suggest you not to make remarks about who is good or not."
Wang Shixiong's words sounded arrogant, so the people in the ferry divided into three groups.
The first one was the three people firmly believing in Chu Han. The second one was that of Liang Hongshen and Ying Xiaoqin who were trying to resist. The last one consisted of the unlucky man covered with a blanket and Wei An who tried to reduce her sense of existence. She did not know who to believe.
She had met lots of people with the face of a human but the heart of a beast. Naturally, she doubted everyone in the world. In her mind, Seeing was not believing. Everyone could be a liar.
Ying Xiaoqin and Liang Hongshen were crazily resisting, and they nearly cursed at Chu Han for ten minutes.
Zhan Guangyuan had just tied Tu Chenglong up since Chu Han hadn't given an order of how to deal with him.
The atmosphere was extremely tense
Ignoring Liang Hongshen and Ying Xiaoqin's curses, Chu Han cooked for Wangcai. He was not good at cooking, but he still prepared a table of food. He even prepared a dish of fish for the unknown man.
"How can you cook!?" Liang Hongshen was infuriated. "You'd better let Tu Chenglong free! We're not your subordinates, and we don't obey your orders!"
"You are inhuman!" Ying Xiaoqin was going to burst from anger as her boyfriend was tied up while the real infected was eating fish on the table.
Chu Han peeked at these two people and said something strange, "He will turn into a zombie in five minutes. It'd be better to say your farewells."
Tu Chenglong would turn into a zombie, that was the Meltdown System's judgment. Chu Han felt restless as he didn't know where Tu Chenglong was scratched. Were there zombies in the water?
"Hay!" Liang Hongshen sneered as he could not understand where Chu Han's confidence was stemming from. "I'll stay here for five minutes then."
"What if he doesn't turn into a zombie?" Ying Xiaocan boasted. "You can go to hell if he doesn't become one!"
Chu Han didn't mind Ying Xiaoqin's rude remarks as it was pretty sad thinking of her boyfriend turning into a zombie.
Chu Han ignored the awkward situation and started eating fish with the nameless man. Chu Han could feel the man's subtle gaze, so he couldn't help but ask, "What is your name?"
"Li Yi," he said in a hoarse voice and ignored the pain coming from his arm. He kept eating the fish, and even commented, "It is so bad."
Chu Han swallowed a fish, with its bones, and then he said casually, "Thanks." He smiled faintly, but he was slightly jolted hearing the name, Li Yi. Then, he stopped the eating and asked, "Are you a phase-1 evolutionary?"
"Yes." Li Yi answered with his hoarse voice slowly.
Chu Han nodded and said nothing more. Li Yi was famous in his previous life. Li Yi's battle prowess wasn't bad as he was ranked 200th in the ranking list. However, he was a lone wolf, and only a few people had seen him. It was surprising meeting him here.
Although he was famous in previous life, Chu Han did not care about him. Having met Chen Shaoye, Bai Yun'er, He Shang and others, he had become immune to all other famous people. Li Yi, sitting opposite of him didn't seem eye-catching.
Wang Shixiong who listened to their conversation did not know how to deal with it, so he just waited for the five minutes embarrassingly. Liang Hongshen and Ying Xiaoqin just waited for Chu Han to be humiliated. Wei An stayed at the corner. The room was extremely quiet, and only Chu Han and Li Yi's chewing sounds could be heard.
Chu Han and Li Yi finished eating several fish while Wangcai was still eating at the corner happily. However, at that moment, a roar broke the silence!
'Roar!'
The zombie's roar seemed like a ghost had broken free from hell and was ready to wreak havoc.
"Where is the zombie?" Liang Hongjing was shocked and forgot Chu Han's words- it was less than five minutes.
"Ah-"Ying Xiaoqin shouted and then she recovered. Then, she turned to look at Tu Chenglong mechanically.
Tu Chenglong hadn't been struggling all the time he was restrained. They had thought that he didn't have the power to resist and was waiting patiently till his release.
Unfortunately, nothing of that happened. Tu Chenglong turned into a zombie just like that; there was no process. He just opened his eyes when the zombification was complete!
Tu Chenglong's pupils turned white, he didn't feel tired or pain, and he didn't care about the rope which was leaving marks on his skin while struggling. His skin turned pale in the blink of an eye, and his teeth became sharp at an alarming speed. Finally, a rotten smell filled the air.
It was the third month after the outburst, but the infection speed had increased. Tu Chenglong was a human being 15 minutes earlier, but now even his skin and meat let out a rotten smell.
He had become a zombie!
"Ah!!" Ying Xiaoqin yelled again when she looked at her beloved. Tu Chenglong's zombification made her collapse, and then she started crying.
Liang Hongshen turned his head mechanically, and he looked at Chu Han.
At that moment, Chu Han was still eating fish on the table. Different from Li Yi, he even devoured the bones. He was so calm with the sudden turn of events! Was everything under his control?
