Ye Chen and everyone else was shocked by the sudden turn of events...
He Peiyuan had just got off the vehicle, his jaw was numb from shock. How could that have happened? After seeing the soldier die, instantly Chen Shaoye came to his mind; he was the only one capable of pulling such a shot.
He Peiyuan was a soldier to the bone; he thought he could not fight against the military, be it a real soldier or someone wearing a soldier’s uniform without the basic training.
Chen Shaoye, sitting in the white van, touched the gun and then put down the speaker silently.
Shang Jiuti sitting on copilot seat frowned and her disappointment could not be hidden. Unexpectedly, Shi City’s soldiers had deteriorated to such an extent; she’d have to report at the upper echelons to tidy up that mess.
Chu Han sitting in the Wrangler didn’t expect the soldiers to be so unreasonable, killing without saying a word Ye Chen’s team member. He clearly remembered that the young man had killed five zombies and had a ten-year-old sister, who he had saved after their parents turned into zombies. After the battle against the zombies, he had even called Chu Han his ‘Boss’ with a shiny face.
F*CK YOU!
‘Bang!’
Chu Han had a serious expression on his face! He got off the vehicle, forcefully closing the door; his bloodthirst had reached its peak!
‘Bang! Bang! Bang!’
Seeing Chu Han getting off the vehicle, Bai Yun’er, Chen Shaoye, Shang Jiuti and everyone else in the cars got off immediately. The pressure they were exuding was menacing!
Since they had dared to kill one of their own, they were ready to dye the ground with blood!
"Wait! I will also get off!" Luo Xiaoxiao said to Shangguan Yuxin who was looking after her.
Chu Han’s appearance shocked the soldiers, who have enjoyed their improved status after the apocalypse. They didn’t expect a civilian getting off the vehicle with a weapon in his hands, what’s worse they had dared to shoot a soldier. In their minds, they were a Major General’s entourage, so their status was superior to others’.
Cheng Xianguo and Ye Chen were truly angered and saddened at the same time, but they stood beside Chu Han. Some young men with bloodshot eyes looked at Chu Han while women and children almost cried.
Chu Han was there!
They had finally found him!
Chu Han was like a spiritual leader to them, even though Cheng Xianguo had gathered them first, and Ye Chen led them out of Tong City. But they all knew, Chu Han was someone they could support on after fending off against the zombie tide without anyone getting grievously injured.
They could feel at ease with Chu Han around. He gave off the feeling of home in the twisted world, it was not only thanks to Meltdown System’s loyalty power, but it came from their heart.
Seeing all those people getting off the vehicles, Tan Hao’s shouting stopped and the tanks’ soldiers surrounded him. The people in the front line raised their guns aiming at Chu Han. Their posture while aiming with the guns betrayed they were greenhorns.
The two parties were ready to erupt at any moment, only a zombie pile in the middle was separating them.
Tan Hao’s panicked heart calmed after seeing that another gunshot didn’t follow after the first shot. The surrounding soldiers made him feel safe. The other party consisted of ordinary people so how could they fight against him? Although they had fewer guns, lots of seasoned soldiers were following behind, so he was not afraid.
What he was really worried about was his image everyone had witnessed his most embarrassing moment, so he had to find a reason to execute them.
Tan Hao took a deep breath and then asked angrily, "Who killed my subordinate? He sure has balls!"
Facing Tan Hao’s questioning, Chu Han’s evil grin could not be concealed, he threw a glance at the ‘Colonel’, who was way too young for such a rank, and then ignored him like the small fry he was. He walked toward the angry Ye Chen who was ceaselessly trembling.
"How many partners did we lose?" Chu Han used the word ‘We’.
Many women and children were crying really hard but were sensible and just covered their mouths, almost choking, so they wouldn’t interrupt Chu Han. Chu Han’s two words, ‘We’ and ‘Partners’ showed his standing.
Ye Chen’s eyes were truly bloodshot. "I’m extremely sorry, only 100 survived."
Being ignored by Chu Han added oil to Tan Hao’s anger! At Shi City, whoever with a lower status met him had to bow and show their respect.
Tan Han’s expression became hideous, "Didn’t you listen to me?! You're really lucky we didn't crash all of you!"
Chu Han kept ignoring him and everyone else stared at him with cold eyes, except Shang Jiuti and Bai Yun’er; they didn’t even look at him. He was merely a decorative Colonel, they wouldn’t stoop as low as to look at him.
Chu Han didn’t turn around, his eyes were fixed on the remaining survivors with sad faces. Those people were his partners, they had faced a life-or-death battle together. Compared with the torturing apocalypse, Tan Hao’s attitude made them feel true despair.
Chu Han’s thick killing intent could no longer be suppressed, he pointed at the survivors in uniform and asked Ye Chen in a calm tone, "How many people did they kill?"
"Several-" Ye Chen choked with sobs, "Several children, they run them over!"
A few tears rolled from Ye Chen’s bloodshot eyes as he was thinking about the innocent children’s bodies under the tanks’ tracks…
"Don’t you know that circumstances and priorities have changed?" Listening to Chu Han’s conversation, Tan Hao raised his chin and continued with an arrogant tone, "Not only didn’t you make way for our entourage you even dared to block our way! You’re really lucky we didn’t crash all of you! But now, you even dared killing one of our own! You must pay for what you did!"
Tan Hao’s mission was to control the mass so that the Major General, Kuang Cheng, would give them more benefits. As far as the several children were concerned, it was the apocalypse; they would only be burdens!
Ye Chen and the others gripped their fists angrily. Was everyone in Shi City’s base like that? Was that the base’s true nature?
He Peiyuan was heart-broken, it was the first time he was wishing for Chen Shaoye to shoot the arrogant bast*rd.
"I suggest you stop blocking our road and retreat to make way for us, otherwise, you must die when after the Major General reaches here!" Tan Hao still talked ceaselessly, "I will give you one minute, if you keep staying here, don’t blame for being ruthless."
Chu Han’s eyes flashed and looked at Chen Shaoye.
"Kill him!"
