Apocalypse Meltdown

Chapter 232: How Long Ago?

Wei An startled Li Y, and he turned her way with a confused expression. He asked in a rushed tone, "What are you talking about? Chu Han is the top ranker in the phase-1 ranking list? And his overall score is S+?"

"Hahaha!" Zhou Chunlei laughed. "That was half a month ago. He is a phase-2 evolutionary now."

Wei An and Li Yi were at a loss from shock! They had never expected that Chu Han had such sharp observational skills and great judgment. Not only that, even his battle prowess was second to none. While others took enjoyed the masses' respect, Chu Han had kept a low profile and quietly became a phase-2 evolutionary.

Li Yi's complexion seemed like he had chocked on a fishbone. He just wanted to show his gratitude to Chu Han, and he even offered to beat someone up for him. Unfortunately, he may have no such chance as the gap between them was vast.

Wang Shixiong showed a faint smile while touching his bald head. "The apocalypse has made young men more energetic and powerful. Comparing myself to Chu Han, it seems that I have wasted half of my life. Everything needs to be re-evaluated. China and the world are yours, young people."

"Uncle Wang should not be that modest," Zhan Guangyuan interrupted suddenly, "At least your cooking skills are better than Chu Han's."

"Puff! Hahaha!" Zhou Chunlei was rolling in laughter.

Chu Han smiled as the three men were joking around. He treasured pure friendship as it was something he rarely experienced in his previous life. 

Li Yi threw envious looks at them, from the bottom of his heart. He had experienced all kinds of darkness, such as death, separation, and betrayal. Those people had a good relationship!

What he didn't know was that Chu Han met them two days ago. Zhan Guangyuan, Wang Shixiong, and Zhou Chunlei had been captivated by Chu Han's charming personality and demeanor.

An Wei, who was vigilant when other people were around her, looked at them with sharp eyes. If it were before, she would be hiding in a corner without saying anything, in a room full of men. The 19-year-old girl experienced too much in the last few months.

However, she was so calm for no reason now. They looked like good people, and they were different from the bad guy that she had met before. Especially Chu Han, Wei An could wholeheartedly trust him. He was powerful but didn't show off and bully others like other evolutionaries. He even considered Ying Xiaoqin's feelings! A responsible person like him could only be called a real man.

Wangcai had finished five fish in the corner, and it wanted it to eat more, so it decided to take advantage of the good atmosphere. "Chu Han, even though your cooking skills suck, can you give me a second serving? How about cooking fish half the size of a human?"

"Can you handle such fish?" Chu Han countered Wangcai's argument, "You're not a living entity so how are you going to digest it?" 

"I've forgotten how I function." Wangcai did not lie as it had only 10% of its memories.

"That was all the food for today." Chu Han peeked at it intriguingly. "If you eat too much of their food, the people on the ferry will starve to death."

While Chu Han talked with Wang Cai and the others were in a harmonious mood, the ferry suddenly shook.

'Bang!'

The dishes on the table trembled violently and almost shattered.

"What happened?" Zhou Chunlei was shocked, but he hurried to look at Chu Han, "Brother Chu, is it another storm?"

"No!" Zhan Guangyuan cried. "Was the weather rainy this morning? The weather would turn so fast."

Chu Han became turned serious. "Have you noticed how much time passed since Liang Hongshen left?"

The others felt that something terrible had happened. What could it be?

"I'll go out and check-" Before Wang Shixiong could finish, a black shadow had already dashed out of the room. It was Chu Han! Nobody saw him when he acted.

Li Yi just followed him behind. Although he was not as fast as Chu Han, a phase-2 evolutionary, he was still faster than others.

"Let's go! We shouldn't waste time!" Zhou Chunlei, who was trembling from fear, said and distributed weapons. He was afraid ever since Hu Pengtian's scheme was exposed. He believed that it was much safer sticking with Chu Han rather than staying in the room.

Zhan Guangyuan didn't say anything. He grabbed a fire ax and followed behind Li Yi. They ran all the way to go and check on the situation. Zhan Guangyuan had an ominous feeling that Chu Han couldn't deal with the situation, even though his battle prowess made it possible for him to look at others in contempt.

Zhan Guangyuan was formerly a college student and the college union's leader. He was a talented person in all aspects, so it was easier for him to adapt to the new world. Although Hu Pengtian had deceived him for the sake of his daughter, he'd still stay if he knew about her condition. He loved that girl even though she had turned into a zombie.

Zhan Guangyuan was arrogant since he remembered himself, but when Chu Han appeared, all that arrogance went away. Chu Han was stronger than him. Zhan Guangyuan felt guilty staying on the ferry without contributing while following such a grand character. He almost screwed with the fishnet, which in the end Chu Han dragged back up. There was no way in hell he'd retreat with his tail tucked between his legs in the face of such a situation. 

Wang Shixiong was the oldest and the one with the most life experience amongst them. He hurried to give a light weapon to Wei An who was at a loss after seeing all of them rushing out.

"Relax! We'll be fine! Chu Han is with us!" Wang Shixiong did not know how else to comfort the girl, whose age was same as his daughter.

Wei An received the iron pipe and ran out with the mass. In her mind, staying in the room was good, but her intuition told her that staying with Chu Han was the safest choice.
