Back to the camp, Zhao Zilong had already informed Rui Tianhe about the road. He had run at full speed, so the poor man was drenched in sweat. Rui Tianhe and the other evolutionaries rushed to the road as fast as possible. They were utterly shocked by what they saw.
"How was he able to do that?" An evolutionary exclaimed in surprise.
"Did he really bulldoze the whole thing?" Another dazed evolutionary asked. "Why didn't he do it earlier?"
Rui Tianhe widened his eyes in shock to the point that his pupils had turned into tiny dots. At the same time, he felt extremely dejected as Chu Han had clearly deceived him. Ignoring the people around him, he just cursed out loud, "D*mn you, Chu Han!"
At that moment, the black SUV happened to drive through the road, and the three people inside it heard Rui Tianhe's curse. Although the vehicle was going fast, everyone in it kept silent.
After a long time, Yi said suddenly, "Fan, that man mentioned Chu Han."
Fan's indifferent eyes flickered when she heard that. It was one of the rare occasions that she talked, "Was he the strange Wrangler's owner?"
"That person was Chu Han?" Long Yan's cautious voice sounded from the back seat. "What a coincidence."
——————
Chu Han stepped on the gas without hesitation when the SUV left. Although he didn't know why Long Ya's people were there, it hadn't affected his goal. Nobody could stop him from finding his parents.

The city of Anluo had entirely been in a state of collapse. Chu Han had yet to reach the city center. Although the car's speed could be considered slow in civilized times, it was fast enough in this post-apocalyptic world.
A large number of zombies would appear every hundred of meters. Sometimes those groups could reach 1,000 in numbers, with phase-2 zombies mixed within. Apart from them, the city's vegetation had been growing at an explosive rate. The greenbelt could no longer be called that, as the vegetation had expanded to a much larger area. Many tree roots had drilled their way out of the cement pavements and roads, which hindered the vehicles' movements greatly.
Chu Han decided on storing the Wrangler and walk instead. He had reached the city center, where most of the zombies were gathered. Other than the plant roots blocking part of the road, there were many other obstacles such as abandoned cars or collapsed walls. What was really breathtaking was a bottomless hole in the middle of the road because of an earthquake. That's right except for zombies and wild vegetation, Anluo was also suffering from earthquakes.
"How could it be?" Wangcai was scared."The other cities are not in such poor condition."
Chu Han cut a phase-2 zombie's head and gasped. "Not only that. We haven't met a single person all day."
"Have they all died?" Wangcai picked up casually the phase-2 zombie's crystal. It was used to it.
"They may be hiding, under a strong organization's wing or all dead." Chu Han waved the Shura axe and shattered the skulls of several phase-1 zombies.
"How many credits?" Wangcai was bored.
"Upgrade my accuracy to phase-3," Chu Han said leisurely.
"Sh*t! That fast!?" Wangcai became green with envy. "Why don't you share with me some credits when you have so many?"
Chu Han looked at the credits he needed to upgrade his accuracy to phase-3, 3,000. After spending them, he would be left with a little more than 1,000 credits. He had killed thousands of zombies in these two days.
"Okay, I will give you some." After killing the last zombie, Chu Han was able to relax.
Wangcai asked excitedly, "How many?"
Chu Han said calmly, "Half."
Wangcai was stunned, and then it got so angry that it couldn't utter a single word. It hated Chu Han's mean attitude to the core. It had almost believed him.
Chu Han was about to return home, and on this day his mood was rather excited and enthusiastic. While he was messing with Wangcai, there was a clap of steel pipe hitting a window in a high building. Although the noise was not loud, but rather cautious, it was enough for Chu Han, a phase-3 evolutionary, to hear it.
Chu Han narrowed the eyes, and then he looked at the sound's direction. He fell into a daze the moment he looked t the building.
Wangcai, in the pocket, was startled and then it exclaimed in a surprised tone, "What?"
"Brother Chu Han!" Wei An clung on the window excitedly, and a beautiful smile blossomed on her face. Her smiling face looked like a beautiful flower blooming out of the perilous, post-apocalyptic land. The young woman was excited. It was as if she had found where she belonged. Her eyes were full of expectation and charm.
Li Yi was standing beside her, still looking a bit dirty, but his calm demeanor and compelling aura betrayed that his fighting power was exceptional. The moment Li Yi's gaze landed on Chu Han, a hint of surprise surfaced on his tough face. At the same time, he revealed a rare smile.
Chu Han was surprised. He had not expected to meet Li Yi and Wei An in this place. He also did not know how dangerous the city center really was. He had spent a lot of time in Yu Village, so the two of them had come earlier than him. Chu Han's eyes landed behind Wei An's back. It was a workplace at an office building. Without light, Chu Han could not see inside for a little while, but then he found that some other people were with them.
If not for the two of them, he would have turned around to leave. Wei An and Li Yi were people he knew from the boat, and their loyalty was pretty high, so Chu Han went into the building as it was getting darker outside.
He wanted to take a rest and continue his journey the next day.
The dark office was small, and it had become crowded with the group of survivors. The survivors were less than 30, but half of them were evolutionaries. Not even in a base would one find so many evolutionaries gathered together.
"Who is that?" A young man approached Wei An and asked with a frown.
Compared to the others, he was cleaner, and his attire was much better as it consisted of top brands. There was even a huge logo sown on his clothes. Although it was useless, it was still eye-catching.
"His name is Chu Han, and he saved us." Wei An's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she grabbed the young man's hands with tenderness and happiness. "Hu Menghao, it was because of him that I was able to come and find you."
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed through Hu Menghao's eyes, but he concealed it. He asked in confusion, "How can you give credit to others so easily? It was tough for you to come and find me here from so far. We should be thanking Li Yi, a phase-2 evolutionary, instead for accompanying on your journey."
