Apocalypse Meltdown

Chapter 242: Appalling Sight

Zhou Zhu led two people in front of the base. The gasping three people were almost cramped. The road was filled with traps and pitfalls, and they would get wounded if something went wrong.

"Back?" Fu Jialiang had yet to return, so the one who talked to Zhou Zhu was Zhang Wenchang. He frowned when he saw the two people behind Zhou Zhu, and he said with a tone of disgust, "Why did you bring two refugees?"

They already had enough people in the base, and adding two more useless survivors would reduce their supplies even more.

Nervousness took over Zhou Zhu after hearing Zhang Wenchang's unfriendly tone. That man was an evolutionary, someone that Zhou Zhu could not offend. Zhou Zhu hurried to smile, showing his yellow teeth. "It's hard to find survivors around here, not to mention two people at once. If I couldn't bring them, should I bring zombies in their place?"

"Forget it." Zhang Wenchang waved his hands as he had no time to talk with Zhou Zhu. He said, "Arrange those two and find some jobs for them. They are not here for free,"

"Okay. No problem." Zhou Zhu nodded humbly, and then he asked carefully, "Did you see a young man earlier?"

Zhou Zhu was furious because Chu Han had dumped him. He did not see him around, so he wondered if that fellow stepped on a trap and died.

"You mean the man called Chu Han?" Zhou Zhu was surprised that Zhang Wenchang knew his name.

Zhou Zhu nodded with sharp eyes, "Yes, yes, yes. He is my neighbors'-"

"He is a good seedling, so we've made the appropriate arrangements," Zhang Wenchang interrupted Zhou Zhu, and then his words sounded sympathetic. "I'll ask the leader to give you a bonus. Finally, you found someone with potential."

"Ah?" Zhou Zhu was surprised, and he hurried to say, "Can I see him?"

"No." Zhang Wenchang answered and glared at him. He asked coldly, "Do you want to stand the way of leader's arrangements?"

"No, no. I am afraid." Zhou Zhu hurried to whisper, but he looked unwilling.

The two newcomers felt unhappy. They were all newcomers, but why could Chu Han meet the leader and receive better treatment than them? Although their clothes were worse than Chu Han's, they didn't believe than Chu Han was superior to them.

However, they could only curse in their minds, as they hadn't the balls to say it out loud.

At night

Chu Han opened his eyes slightly, while Wangcai, sitting next to him, was eating fish that Ying Xiaoqin had packed for Chu Han. Wangcai had already eaten half of them.

"Are you awake?" Wangcai spat a fish bone on the ground and said, "The whole situation is bizarre, but why aren't you worried? Aren't you worried about your parents?"

Chu Han glanced at it and said in a low voice, "We'll get out tonight. They locked me here since they may know that I'm an evolutionary."

"Ah?" Wangcai was confused, "When did they find out? At the gate??'

"Stop eating. Let's do it." Chu Han did not answer Wangcai, and he just picked its ear to place it into his pocket.

Chu Han looked at the wooden locked door and shook his head. Then, he pulled the concealed tri-edge bayonet from his right arm and stabbed it between the door frame and the door before pulling it outward. As a result, the iron lock broke apart.

A strange glint flashed through Chu Han's eyes, and he placed the tri-edge bayonet back to its sheath. At that moment, he was praising Ye Mo in his mind. The tri-edge bayonet was the perfect weapon for night assaults and it sharpness was only second to the Shura axe.

He opened the door slightly and found that nobody was there.

Wangcai, in his pocket, was agitated. "It seems that nobody is here. What happened? How about the ugly looking geezer?"

Geezer? Chu Han sneered.

He did not answer Wangcai's questions, as he knew that it was already agitated because nobody was there. Chu Han inspected the house, and then he opened the door of the room next to his. The room was locked, but it was no big deal for Chu Han. He opened the door, and a foul smell came out.

Wangcai covered its nose and felt disgusted. At the same time, it felt regretful that it ate so many fish.

Chu Han's eyes narrowed when he looked inside.

A person was lying on the floor. His eyes seemed lifeless, and the foul smell lingering in the air was caused by the fact that his two basic needs, along with eating, were fulfilled in that same room

What was most eye-catching was that his leg was broken.

From the moment Chu Han had opened the door, he hadn't talked at all. He just stared at the ceiling

"Sh*t!" Wangcai was shocked, "It, it, it?"

Shock and fear took over Wangcai's mind. It was not as psychologically strong as Chu Han at all so it could not remain calm. Wangcai was terrified of what it saw.

Chu Han closed the door. He didn't try to help or ask him anything since that person should have already turned insane.

Chu Han walked out of the room, and he opened the last room. The situation was almost the same as the previous one; awful and disgusting. Someone was lying on the floor, but in that man's case, his arm was broken.

Wangcai was horrified. "Chu Han, what's happening?"

The poor rabbit was shocked with the scenes from the rooms. It had never expected that something like could happen in a survivors' base. Why were those two tortured like that?

What shocked Wangcai more was that Chu Han was locked in a similar room before finding his parents. Did they want to torture Chu Han too?

But for what?!

Wangcai could not figure it out, but suddenly Chu Han's words, which he repeated often, came to its mind, 'Humans are worse than zombies."

Chu Han closed that door too, and his cold eyes could make one shiver. He did not want to stay in the house for much longer, so he opened the main door and left. Suddenly, a dark shadow moved around the quiet base in the dark night. 

Chu Han restrained his energy fluctuations and adjusted his breathing to conceal every trace of his existence while sweeping through every house. Finally, he overheard a conversation and found where Zhou Zhu lived. He had to find him first!
