Apocalypse Meltdown

Chapter 243: You Won't Get the Chance to Know

Every house in the village was closed shut, and all survivors seemed to be resting after another laborious day. Although a lot of people lived in the village, nobody was awake after midnight. It was so quiet outside that an outsider would think it was an abandoned village.

It was so strange!

Wangcai was so tense with the weird atmosphere that it breathed with great difficulty. It stayed in Chu Han's pockets, and its two feet were clutching on the cloth tightly.

Contrary to the agitated and scared Wangcai, Chu Han was incredibly calm. But his eyes emitted a cold glint which could not be ignored.

He had already swept through five houses, and he had met the same the situation as in the house he was currently spying on. In that house, there were four rooms with people inside and another room which was empty. Chu Han, who had sharp senses and was specially trained in concealing his aura, could tell that half of the people in the house were not really sleeping. They pretended to have fallen asleep, while the others were sleeping lightly. 

Why would they do that? Why were they so cautious? What were they trying to prevent from happening?

He went through dozens of rooms like that quietly, until he stood in front of a nondescript house. There was only a room in that house, which could not fit all of the necessary furniture. However, ordinary people had adapted, and they were accustomed to sleeping on the floor.

Chu Han, thanks to his sharp senses, could feel that only one person was living there. He seemed to be exhausted, as he was sleeping heavier than others.

A cold glint flashed through Chu Han's eyes, and he did not hesitate to kick at the door.

'Bang!'

The loud noise reverberated through the quiet village at once! It sounded like fireworks exploding in the air, and everyone who has sleeping, heavily or lightly, woke up. Suddenly, the quiet village became noisy again. Many of the survivors were shocked and could not help but jump in panic. They were all scared.

"What happened?"

"Is the leader?"

"Did anyone do something wrong? Are they being punished?"

"Let's go out and check!"

The survivors left their houses and moved toward the source of the sound. Many people had torches, while the richer ones had flashlights. Although the survivors were in a panic, they were not afraid that the sound would attract zombies.

The evolutionaries, living in luxurious houses, were confused about the sudden noise. Who was so brash that they would disregard the rules?

At that moment, the broken door was sent to the opposite wall, which almost collapsed. Suddenly, the person on the house opened his eyes, and he noticed that the door had grazed through his face. Lady luck was on his side, and he did not react hastily. If he had woken up any earlier and gotten up, the door would probably have removed a part of his head.

Thank god that I was sleeping heavily!

After feeling lucky, that person was petrified. He had yet to look at the door, but he knelt on the floor. "Leader, please forgive me! I promise you, I'll bring you an evolutionary! Please, give me one more day, and I won't disappoint you!"

The man kneeling on the ground was precisely Zhou Zhu.

Chu Han looked at the kowtowing and quivering neighbor, and he could no longer suppress his anger. And then he said fiercely, "Where are my parents?"

Zhou Zhu was shocked, and he immediately looked up. Chu Han was expressionless, but he could feel his glum mood.

"Chu Han?" Zhou Zhu was so amazed.

He knew that Chu Han was an evolutionary and that the others had made the necessary arrangements. According to his experience from living in the base for so long, he knew that they would not let Chu Han out so soon. Even if the higher-ups held him in high-esteem for his skills, he should have learned the rules. None other than the leader was allowed to go out at night. 

Chu Han lost his patience when he saw Zhou Zhu's dazed expression. He stepped forward and said with a domineering voice, Uncle Zhou, it's the last time I'm calling you uncle. Where are my parents?"

"Ah!" Zhou Zhu was shocked by the Chu Han's killing intent, and he could not help yelling. Then he hurried to say, "Chu Han, you should listen to me. Your parents are not here, and I have not seen them. I am sorry! I didn't want to trick you on purpose. I had to bring back an evolutionary, and you happened to be one. If I didn't do that, they wouldn't give me another chance. Forgive me!"

Zhou Zhu was scared, but there was a faint expectation. What he scared was that Chu Han, an evolutionary, would beat him, an ordinary person. He was anticipating for another evolutionary come and beat Chu Han so that they could torture him later.

The wicked Zhou Zhu felt happy every time he witnessed an evolutionary's downfall. He liked that they were brought to such a state that ordinary people like him could step on them. He lived a humble life, and so his neighbor, Chu Han, should too. Why wasn't Chu Han as humble as him?

Chu Han took a deep breath for two reasons after listening to Zhou Zhu. Firstly, he was angry with the fact that of Zhou Zhu tricked him, and that he was trapped because of him. Secondly, he felt happy because his parents were not in the base. No news is good news, even though he was not sure for their safety.

"Who is the leader? Why does he trick evolutionaries to enter the base?" Chu Han asked.

The village was peculiar from every aspect. Chu Han would not believe that there were no bad people in the base but wondered whether it was just what he thought.

"Our leader? Our leader is-" Zhou Zhu kept kneeling down as he dragged the words in a low voice deliberately. Then he raised his head, and his face was filled with excitement and thirst for revenge. "You won't get the chance to know!"

Chu Han was surprised with Zhou Zhu's bold words and in the next second-

'Splash!'

Suddenly, Chu Han lowered his body!

'Bang!'

A loud sound came from above!

A weapon landed on a column and the wall made of soil crumbed apart.
