Suddenly, the black axe exuded a dark and cold luster, and the next moment scarlet blood gushed on the ground and rusty cage. A person who had been yelling about morals slammed on the ground lifelessly. Chu Han was emotionless as he had his back against the cage. He had killed the instigator with great accuracy.
Chu Han jolted the axe to get rid of the blood on its edge. Only the trembling Wangcai knew how terrible Chu Han's mood was. Then he said in a cold voice without the slightest trace of humanity, "Do you think that I am a good man?"
Everyone present swallowed hard as terror and fear had bloomed in their hearts after seeing one of their own dying just like that.
Li Yi and Wei An's heart almost skipped a bit. They both looked at each other and thought that their boss was about to become a devil.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm way worse than the heart-eating hybrid," Chu Han's voice sounded so husky, but his tone was horribly calm.
He had done his best to rush to Anluo for the past three months, but it was to no avail. That hybrid had eaten his parents, and he couldn't reverse his biggest regret. Even with his second chance to live, he could not change that outcome.
What was wrong with killing? He was not a savior, so humanity's future had nothing to with him now! Chu Han strode out without looking back or giving an explanation.
The rest of the saved people kept silent and drew cold breaths of air. They were afraid of the departing butcher. He had instilled fear in their hearts and reminded them of the apocalypse's iron-clad rule, 'the strong are to be respected, and the weak could only bow their heads in humiliation.'
Li Yi and Wei An followed behind quietly. Although they knew that Chu Han would not try to appease his anger on them, he had still given them a scare that they would never forget.
There was nowhere to go so Chu Han returned to his home. He wanted to stay there and engrave what memories he had. He knew that he wouldn't return anymore after leaving the house.
Wei An and Li Yi stayed at the house, but they didn't take a single step in the living room, where Chu Han was, as they didn't want to bother him. He had been holding a family photo the whole time. It was funny as Chu Han's parents seemed special, giving off a good vibe. Although Chu Han looked like his parents, he had inherited all their average traits. Hence, he looked way too normal, not handsome nor outstanding. But at the same time, nobody could deny that he was unique in his own way.
Chu Han was sitting silently on the couch, while Wangcai was trying its best to reduce its presence.
Suddenly, three faint knocking sounds came from the door. If Chu Han were not an evolutionary, it would be hard to hear them. Wangcai was afraid to open the door, so it looked at Chu Han nervously.
Li Yi and Wei An had also heard the knocking since they were evolutionaries. They went to the hall at the same time and saw that Chu Han was still silent. Wei An thought for a while and opened the door. A 17-year-old slim boy, who was neither clean nor too dirty, and gasping for air, appeared in their field of vision.
"You are?" Wei An asked in a low voice.
The young man's movement shocked Wei An since it was very fast!
Li Yi was startled and got ready to fight. The young man was not a common person since his speed was faster than a phase-1 evolutionary!
The only one who had not reacted was Chu Han. He just gave him a slight glance and went back to reminiscing.
Jiang Tianqing rushed into the house like a shadow. Wei An at the door was at a loss. Her hair was flying because of the young man's abnormal speed. She hurried to turn around with terror in her eyes to block the young man. At the same time, Li Yi stretched his hand to stop him, but unfortunately, they were too late.
Jiang Tianqing had appeared in front of Chu Han before they could react. His eyes revealed a hint of reverence but suppressed it soon.
"Brother Chu Han," Jiang Tianqing's voice was trembling, neither sudden nor excited. It sounded like he could finally relax.
Listening to the voice, Chu Han raised his head and looked at the young man seriously. He frowned and then looked down. The young man knew him, but he did not know the young man.
Li Yi and Wei An stopped dead in their tracks and looked at each other with evident surprise in their eyes. Were Chu Han and the young man acquaintances?
"Brother Chu Han?" Jiang Tianqing shouted again and then he said something to catch Chu Han's attention, "You're finally here! Uncle Chu and Aunt Yuan had been waiting for you all this time."
Chu Han's dark eyes flickered, and he raised his head to look at the young man again. He observed him more carefully this time, and a buried memory resurfaced. Suddenly, Chu Han stood up and said in a shaking as well as an excited voice, "Jiang Tianqing?"
Jiang Tianqing's family of three lived one apartment below. They were communicating with each other frequently, and their relationship was really good. Chu Han and the three years younger Jiang Tianqing had been bullying the bullies whenever they could. However, Chu Han had not visited Anluo and hadn't seen Jiang Tianqing for more than ten years, so he had a hard time remembering him at first.
"It is me," Jiang Tianqing was not as excited as Chu Han, and his voice sounded incredibly calm.
"Do you know about my parents?" Chu Han's eyes betrayed his expectation.
Jiang Tianqing had grown up with him, and their friendship was not weaker than that with
"Let's go inside and talk. It's complicated." Jiang Tianqing pointed at the house and stayed vigilant against Wei An and Li Yi. The stability he showed was not something anyone of his age would normally do.
A sharp glint flashed through Chu Han's eyes and entered the room with Jiang Tianqing.
Li Yi and Wei An did not follow them and just stayed in the living room. They were astonished. Was there any change in the situation of his parents? Was it possible?
Jiang Tianqing sat on the bed, and he took a piece of bread with mold. He ate it as quick as possible. It seemed that he had come running as his breathing was in a mess and he was clearly starving. Chu Han was quite shocked when he noticed the coldness and fierceness flashing in the young man's eyes. He could imagine what had happened to Jiang Tianqing in the past three months to change him like that.
Chu Han found a chair and sat in front of Jiang Tianqing. He was in urgent need to know about his parents' whereabouts, but he did not lose his rationality. He passed a bottle of water to Jiang Tianqing when he finished eating. Chu Han knew that Jiang Tianqing needed some time to put his messy thoughts in line first.
