The frenzied weaklings came to a stop and stared at the man running their way anxiously.
"Isn"t that Heng?"
"Yes! He is in charge of the sentry."
"What happened? Are there any zombies at the back of base?"
"Impossible! The mountain is behind the base!"
At that moment, Heng was red from running, and he was trying to catch his breath. He was so horrified that he grabbed Qin Sou"s clothes and said nervously, "Something bad happened, you have to go and check- NO, we have to run away!"
"What happened? Can you explain?" Qin Shou was anxious
"Run! Escape! Oh, no, I-." Heng was terrified and could hardly form a sentence.
Qin Shou wanted to slap Heng. "What on earth is happening!?"
The bystanders were in a mess, and they bombarded Heng with lots of questions. Heng in return couldn"t handle it and almost vomited.
"Wait." Suddenly, Chu Han"s steady and calm voice interrupted. Everyone came to their senses while Chu Han pa.s.sed a bottle of water to Heng. "Drink it. Take 10 seconds to relax, and then you can tell us what happened.
Chu Han"s action was so sudden but yet reasonable. Heng just took the bottle of water without thinking and drank it. Qin Shou was in a daze and stepped back silently. He suddenly thought that Chu Han should be in charge. Chu Han"s judgment was better than his.
Most of the worried weaklings had ugly expressions on their faces with Chu Han"s initiative; their hostility skyrocketed.
"You may be relaxed, but we don"t feel the same!"
"Stop making trouble here!"
"Yes, you are not welcome to our base!"
"We"re so worried, and yet you gave him a bottle of water to drink? You even told him to take 10 seconds to relax?"
It is so worried, but you still drink water? And take ten seconds for rest?"
"Shut the f*ck up!"
Chu Han turned back and glared at them. Hundreds of ordinary survivors were looking at him with contempt and hostility. They looked at him like he was a great sinner that had challenged their bottom-line. Hua Yongzhi and the other phase-1 evolutionaries were extremely embarra.s.sed. They wanted to stop Chu Han, but they were afraid of him, and they felt he should put the ignorant people in their place.
Chu Han"s tone was bright and peaceful, but his eyes exuded coldness, "Humans can"t operate well under duress. Not to mention than Hend ran all the way back, without resting at all. It"s natural that he can"t tell what"s going on. What he needs is water and some time to collect his thoughts."
Chu Han"s words silenced the bystanders, but then----
"Shut your f*cking trap up if you are about to talk nonsense!" Chu Han shouted.
Someone wanted to refute his words but swallowed their words.
Ten seconds pa.s.sed, and Heng"s breathing came back to normal. He didn"t hesitate at all and ignored the bystanders and Qin Shou.
He said to Chu Han, "Thank you. I recovered. Thank you for the bottle of water and your advice. I almost forgot the simplest things."
Everyone was dazed and shocked!
Heng"s words made everyone feel awkward, and the ones that opposed Chu Han had green faces. Everyone knew about Heng"s meticulous and honest personality.
At that moment, everyone understood that Chu Han"s actions were correct. He was much calmer and quiet compared to them,
Qin Shou"s face reddened. He was one of the base"s leaders, but it turned out that he was worse than a young man in dealing with important things. He was really jealous of the man with astonis.h.i.+ng battle prowess and calm composure.
Chu Han ignored their emotions, and he just asked Heng, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Yes!" Heng nodded heavily, and then he frowned. "I was in charge of sentry duty, and half an hour ago I spotted with my binoculars Leader Fan Jiang running back and forth."
"He returned? Where is he?" Qin Shou asked excitedly.
Chu Han glared at him and cursed, "Shut up."
Qin Shou felt like he committed a grave mistake, and he lowered his head in embarra.s.sment. He understood that he was too impulsive and that he shouldn"t have interrupted Heng. As a leader, he shouldn"t make mistakes in such situations. He was fortunate that Chu Han was present, or else he didn"t know what would happen.
Heng was shocked by Chu Han"s arrogant behavior, and he looked at the silent leader with shocking eyes. His admiration toward Chu Han increased.
The phase-1 evolutionaries were dumbfounded as it was the first time seeing their leader so docile; he even let Chu Han deal with the situation.
The others were evenly surprised with Chu Han"s words, but they were even more surprised to see that their leader actually shut up!
At that moment, Chu Han"s aura was the same as ordering Chen Shaoye. It was different than the one he exuded while killing zombies; that aura carried his extraordinary and domineering temperament that could intimidate the bravest man. It was not something an ordinary person or evolutionary would have.
Everyone could feel Chu Han"s sudden change, but n.o.body knew how to describe it; the evolutionaries were more affected than the others. They thought that Chu Han was an unfathomable existence.
Qin Shou, a phase-2 evolutionary, felt that he was too lacking compared with Chu Han. The moment he looked at Chu Han, he couldn"t help it but retreat. Chu Han"s superior kingly aura forced others to keep a certain distance away from him.
Unknowingly, Chu Han had silenced everyone, and he had become the base"s King.
Then Chu Han looked at Heng. "Keep going."
Heng said excitedly, "When I spotted the second leader, I thought he was returning, so I put down my binoculars. But after ten minutes, he had yet to appear near the gate, so I searched for him again. To my surprise, there was something astonis.h.i.+ng-"
